Junto a un equipo técnico del MTC se reunió con los alcaldes distritales y dirigentes de la zona para implementar nuevas medidas de seguridad en las vías.

Acompañada de un equipo técnico del Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC), la viceministra de Transportes, Verónica Cáceres, inspeccionó las zonas de Paracas y Santa Cruz de Villacurí, en la región Ica, con la finalidad de atender las demandas de la población en torno a la seguridad vial en el tercer tramo de la autopista Panamericana Sur, a cargo de la Concesionaria Vial del Perú S.A.

 

En reunión con la alcaldesa de Paracas, Rosario Ramírez, y el alcalde de Salas Guadalupe, Juan Carlos Quijandría, se evaluó la necesidad de implementar medidas de seguridad vial como los reductores de velocidad y guardavías, que permitirán reducir el riesgo de accidentes de tránsito en los tramos de alto flujo vehicular.

 

"Estamos acá con las autoridades locales y representantes de la sociedad civil para solucionar, de forma concertada y articulada, el problema de la seguridad vial en la autopista Panamericana Sur. Estamos muy comprometidos en brindar una mayor seguridad en favor de la población de Villacurí para reducir los accidentes de tránsito", precisó la viceministra Cáceres.

 

Al término de las reuniones de trabajo, se acordó realizar una evaluación técnica para el diseño de un paso a desnivel. En tanto empiece su ejecución, se implementarán reductores de velocidad, dos semáforos temporales, guardavías y la señalización correspondiente en la vía.

 

Por su parte, las municipalidades distritales se comprometieron con educar y sensibilizar a la población sobre las nuevas medidas de seguridad. Además de brindar las facilidades al concesionario responsable del proyecto para que pueda culminar los trabajos en la vía y se ponga en servicio de la población.

 

Cabe indicar que, la ejecución física del intercambio vial de Paracas está culminada y una vez que sea puesto en funcionamiento, se logrará reducir el tiempo de viaje y se agilizará el traslado de productos agrícolas, manufacturados, entre otros.

 

En el sector de Santa Cruz de Villacurí, la reanudación de las obras permitirá concluir con la segunda calzada de la Panamericana Sur, en el tramo que va desde el empalme de San Andrés hasta Guadalupe, que tiene una extensión de 54 kilómetros y ha demandado una inversión de US$ 61.5 millones.

 

Una vez concluido todo el proyecto, la autopista Panamericana Sur pasará de tener dos carriles a usar cuatro carriles a lo largo de los 221.7 kilómetros, que se inicia en el Puente Pucusana y termina en Ica.

How Honduras managed to carry out genomic sequencing for the first time

 

June 2023

 

When microbiologist Soany Ávilez was selected to implement the genomic sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Honduras, she was amazed. In the wake of the pandemic, Soany had started working at the National Virology Laboratory in 2020 performing PCR tests. At that time, genomic sequencing to detect circulating variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 was carried out outside the country. But a project to provide Honduras with the capabilities to do it in situ and obtain faster results was being developed with technical support from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and financial support from the United States Government.

 

Although she lacked knowledge on the subject, Soany remembers that she longed for the opportunity to work in sequencing. "When they chose us (her and her partner Karla Romero) to implement sequencing in the country and move the area forward, I couldn't believe it," she says.

 

Genomic surveillance allows us to know the evolution of viruses and other pathogens as they change over time. Knowing those changes or mutations that can modify its transmissibility and severity, allows us to guide public health measures. During the pandemic, it was a key strategy to monitor the behavior of SARS-CoV-2 and a technique that is being integrated into the surveillance of other pathogens.

 

Karla Romero, the other microbiologist in charge of genomic surveillance, acknowledges that the implementation of sequencing in Honduras has been "a great challenge" that required a lot of "sacrifice and commitment" both inside and outside the laboratory.

 

The sequencing area had to be created from scratch. In 2022, the authorities selected and conditioned a space within the National Virology Laboratory. With the support of PAHO, a sequencer, supplies, reagents, and furniture were purchased, and Soany and Karla were trained in bioinformatics and genomic sequencing at the Gorgas Memorial Institute in Panama.

 

“All with the aim of strengthening the capacities for genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens in Honduras,” says Gabriela Rodriguez Segura, coordinator of the PAHO Project for the Consolidation of Genomic Sequencing Capacities in Honduras. Before these capacities were created at the local level, samples to determine the variants circulating in the country were sent to the laboratories of the Regional Network for Genomic Surveillance of COVID-19 (COVIGEN) created by PAHO to support countries without capacity to carry out sequencing in its territory.

 

In March 2023, the effort paid off and excitement took over the National Virology Laboratory when, after several attempts, the first sequencing of SARS-COV-2 in the country was successfully carried out. “We couldn't believe it,” says Soany. "We feel very happy because it was a great challenge and the result made us feel fulfilled."

 

On March 21, 2023, the results were obtained and it was the first time that the XBB sublineage of the omicron variant was detected in the country and by Honduran health professionals. For Karla, the key was “not to give up in the face of the biggest challenge”.

 

"It is a milestone for the country that genomic sequencing is being carried out," says Dr. Mitzi Castro, head of the National Health Surveillance Laboratory of Honduras. “It is a historic moment because we are starting from here to carry out future genomic surveillance of other pathogens of sanitary interest to the country,” she adds.

 

According to Dr. Castro, the country now has state-of-the-art technology. "The laboratory is at the forefront, and that is a success and a source of pride, for which we thank all those who have contributed their bit so that Honduras is not left behind."

The description of the filtering tests was along the lines of - "500 odd test sites, on an internal network (effectively at Ethernet speed)" didn't inspire confidence in the approach. Access speed will be a real issue. I'm not sure this implementation will be workable.

On December 15, the Refugee Exclusion Act (Bill C-31) will be fully

implemented.

 

* Mandatory detention: Many refugees deemed "irregular arrivals" or

"smuggled", including children over the age of 16, will face mandatory

detention upon arrival. Migrants will become one of the largest growing

prison populations with Harper's prison expansion plan.

 

* Denial of access to justice: Many refugees will be barred from accessing

the Refugee Appeal Division and all refugees face even more restricted

access to justice including a bar on certain legal avenues. All refugees

will face onerously short time lines to file their claims.

 

* Denial of permanent residency: Even if actually accepted as refugees

under this stringent refugee system, many refugees will still be denied

access to permanent residency for a minimum of five years. While pathways

to permanent residency for refugees, family members, and skilled workers

are shrinking, the number of temporary migrant workers is increasing.

 

* Discriminatory two-tier system: Minister of Censorship and Deportation

Jason Kenney can arbitrarily and unilaterally deem certain countries as

“designated country of origin” i.e so-called safe countries that Canada

will quickly deport refugees to. These refugees will also be denied basic

and including emergency healthcare while in Canada.

The much awaited event of the year, the Annual Teachers’ Conference of this year, was held on 6th June,2017 at the Golden Glory Hall of Karnavati Club. It was attended by trustees, directors, teachers and staff of Udgam School and Zebar School. The compere for the day, Mrs. Sarmishtha Sinha, teacher of Udgam Senior Secondary section, unfolded the events of the day in an eloquent manner. The day began with a prayer song followed by lighting of the lamp by the trustees of the school Shri G. K. Choksi, Dr. Shaunak Muzumdar and Shri Sandeep Parikh alongwith Shri Rajabhai Pathak and Executive Director Shri Manan Choksi and Directors Ms Radhika Iyer, Ms Pratima Patell and Mrs Villoo Parikh and Principal Mrs. Sujata Tandon. Homage was paid by Ms. Radhika Iyer to the dynamic and revered trustee of the school, Late Shri V. C. Shah, who left for his heavenly abode this year leaving a deep void. A motivating speech by veteran educationist, Shri Rajabhai Pathak, left a deep impact on the audience. The Motivational Speaker of the conference was Sister Shivani who has been a member of Brahma Kumari’s World Spiritual University for more than two decades. It was a proud privilege for the school to have her as a speaker. She enthralled the audience with her deep and meaningful words. She spoke at length about the need for unity, harmony and the values of teamwork. She also addressed issues such as tackling stress in teachers and students, how to instill self discipline and motivated the teachers with her enlightening thoughts. The rapt audience listened in awe as pearls of wisdom poured forth and brought to the fore ideas and realisations that had been hidden away somewhere in the recesses of the being. Next on the agenda were the presentations by the different sections of teachers and non-teaching group of Udgam School about successes and failures of the year 2016-17 and plans for 2017-18. The groups presented their ideas well with beautiful success stories, a few failures and their plans for the future. When Executive Director Shri Manan Choksi went onstage to speak, the audience was agog to listen to his dynamic and out-of-the-box ideas. Shri Choksi mainly spoke about how the future is no longer what we believed it to be, a thought well ahead of its time. Then he went on to explain the concept by giving examples from the educational sector. He also stressed on the need to improve English in order to emerge as a world class English medium school. The Zebar success story, wherein the implementation of the best practices of Udgam School in Zebar School through Udgam Consultancy skyrocketed the number of admissions from a mere 200 to a whopping 1600 in less than 8 months, was also mentioned as it is a huge example of how success of one school has influenced another’s. Awards are a form of motivation for those who get it as well as those who don’t make it. Udgam School has an accomplished and dedicated team of teachers and staff and it is quite tough to decide who are more deserving. As special cases of being first among equals, several members of the fraternity were given awards for their performance in the year 2016-17. Finally, Mrs. Manjari Jain, Vice Principal of Senior Secondary section, gave the Vote of Thanks. Of course there was a delightful lunch spread which was also the time for socializing and swapping ideas. The Annual Teachers’ Conference of 2017 was a grand success where motivation met team work to rejoice in the past and renew plans for the future.

Conference on Combating Corruption: The Challenges of Regional Cooperation in the Implementation of the UNCAC;

29 May – 2 June 2023; Luanda, Angola

(c)UNODC

We are very pleased to report the successful implementation of a running water project for Drokri (Herijiao) Community (Ninxiu (Nyin phyug) Township Town, Zeku (Rtse khog) County Town, Huangnan (Rma lho) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province).

 

A contribution of 129,800RMB from the Rotary Club of Beijing and 15,065RMB from the Rotary Club of Muenchen Blutenburg, plus a local contribution of 86,280RMB, ensured clean water to 240 Tibetan residents (37 households).

 

Before the project, Drokri Community’s biggest problem was a lack of water. Locals had to travel 5 to 9 kilometers (6 to 7 hours) to water livestock and fetch drinking water. Fetching water was culturally assigned to women who carried 25 kg of water in plastic containers on a daily basis. Donkeys, motorcycles, old tires, and tractors were also used to haul water. Due to lack of adequate water, villagers rarely washed clothes and showered. Consequently, locals were vulnerable to illnesses caused by poor personal hygiene.

 

This project brought water to both local people and livestock and has solved environmental degradation problems in the community. Livestock were driven once every two days to the distant water source. Much grass was damaged and could not feed the livestock that lived on it. This resulted in villagers needing to buy grass to feed livestock, which reduced their annual income. Now, with multiple water taps in the community, livestock no longer travel far across grassland to a single water source.

 

Furthermore, conflict was common between neighbor families and communities due to sharing the water source between households. Locals easily became involved in serious fighting. However, this issue no longer exists as multiple water taps are available adjacent to local households.

 

During project implementation, the local water bureau provided support and facilitated challenges of project designs. Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Beijing, especially Regula Hwangma and Robert Xing, also contributed helpful insights in project design. Local community contributed both labor and cash for trench digging and engaged the project throughout implementation. Many local men also learned basic water maintenance skills such as connecting pipes and repair.

 

Finally, we sincerely thank you for bringing this great gift to us.

In the Teso region of Uganda, Cordaid and partner organization SOCADIDO support female farmers who struggle to maintain their livelihood because of climate change, land depletion or a lack of tools and agricultural knowledge. Cordaid and SOCADIDO provide seeds, tools, technology and training.

 

The program started in August 2017 and has been implemented in 9 sub-counties in Teso and supports 9000 farmers in total. The main objectives are threefold: increase food production, reduce post-harvest losses and improve access to finance for the farmers.

 

Each participating farmer received 2 kilograms of seeds, mainly black-eyed peas, corn and vegetables like cassava and potato, which they plant in a plot of land of about one acre.

 

All 9000 participating farmers are put into groups of 30. The 300 farming groups are trained on harvest loss reduction, how to organize savings and credit and improve economic activities.

 

Each sub-county also has a marketing association. That is where the farmers collect their produce reserved for the market after they put aside all they need for their own consumption. The farmers get paid per kilogram of product sold. The association connects the sellers and buyers.

 

"The problem was that they had a poor bargaining position and often had to sell their products for a bad price", says Tom Edul, Program Coordinator for the Female Farmers Deserve Better program. "As a group, the farmers are much stronger and better equipped to improve their income."

 

Another vital factor in raising the value of their products is the possibility to save the harvests for a longer time. In some cases, the time of year greatly determines the price of the products. By providing the farmers with special bags, called PICS bags, fruits and vegetables can be saved for months. Now they can wait for the right time to sell and get a much better price.

 

The successful project is about to end in a few months, but SOCADIDO is eager to extend and expand. Edul: "We really want to continue. The results are great, and we have really made a difference in the lives of these farmers. Our methods of distributing PICS bags, providing tarpaulins for drying the harvest, which increases the quality of the produce, and the implementation of irrigation systems, are unique in this region. The farmers truly appreciate our efforts and they now have the confidence and courage to sell their products on the markets for a reasonable price. They can sustain themselves and even grow their businesses."

These are carved ivory implements from an old Chinese sewing table made for export to Europe. It's probably very early 19th C.

Faith based groups, the civil society, academics and other concerned citizens have petitioned South Sudan’s warring parties, former detainees and political parties to heed the calls for peace and implementation of the peace agreement.

Speaking in the capital Juba on December 16th 2015, the groups said they were concerned by delays in the ‘pre-transitional provisions of the Agreement”, highlighting that there has been loss of lives, destruction of property, violence, displacement and disruption of communities caused by a conflict which erupted two years ago in mid-December.
