Found Managing with Aloha at Powell’s :) Left as they had it up high above my reach, and right for another photo… Did I return it to be as it was? What do you think?
Was actually great to see MWA was in their business section, and under management. Seems obvious, but it’s been stacked in ‘Travel’ with guides to Hawai‘i in every other bookstore I’ve ever seen it in, including here in the islands.
Loved how this diptych ended up looking like a single, irregular bookshelf!
Managed to get a very narrow dof. The lighting is natural sunlight from a window.
Focused differently here.
The building was project managed on behalf of LBH by Sue Archer of Archer Consulting Ltd, a consultancy specialising in the delivery of educational buildings for local authorities. The in-house corporate property team from LBH managed the construction process.
Sue Archer from ACL said: “We are really pleased with the new building as it meets exactly the client’s requirements for this project. As we have extensive experience in the specification of buildings of this type, we knew exactly what products work well for use by children and practitioners. Terrapin was able to meet the brief and delivered a fully working building within a short timeframe.”
Managed to get out this afternoon after the mornings rain. A pair of Brown Hares entertained me. This video the male is practising his moves & sprucing up while waiting for the female to take interest.

I managed to find more of these girls today and began to debox them. I brushed out Floras hair, sorry I forgot to take a before shot but it pretty much looked like Blooms previous picture just a bit more curly and of course like a tangled mess (Ugh Im dreading what Aishas will be like) . I also brushed Blooms which didnt turn out awful but its worse in real life, these pics actually do her justice lol. But I wanted to post a shot because I just wanted to show that these dolls arent going to hold up to the everyday wear of a child. Can you imagine what these will look like after a week of brushing and all that 'moving to see wings flutter" that theyre going to go through? Shame.
Dont worry bout me though, these chicks are going to the salon and that messy business is going to get fixed!

I managed to get out of bed again for sunrise. You can see the sun just peeking over the horizon. The sky was completely clear this morning so when the sun got a bit higher I found it hard to get a decent shot (I had a duplicate sun under the actual sun in my shots..anyone know how to stop this happening?).
I managed to get lost today. I got the No. 130 bus with the intention of visiting St. Annes Park but I did not know the the bus route had been changed due to extensive roadworks. The bus took a different route which bypassed the park. I got off the bus when I realised that the bus would not be going near the entrance that I normally use but I walked in the wrong direction for about a mile before I realised that I was going the wrong way. I eventually found the park but then my problem was how to get home.
The brothers Arthur and Benjamin Lee Guinness built up an estate of nearly 123.75 hectares from 1835 onwards in the Clontarf/Raheny area and called the estate St. Anne's after the Holy Well of the same name on the lands. Sir Arthur Edward Guinness (Lord Ardilaun) was the person most responsible for expanding and developing the estate and gardens and planted evergreen (Holm) oaks and pines along the main avenue and estate boundaries.
Lord and Lady Ardilaun had no children and the estate passed to their nephew Bishop Plunkett in the 1920s. In 1937, he decided he could no longer maintain such a large estate and negotiations with the Corporation resulted in the house and estate being sold to the Corporation for approximately £55,000 in 1939.

managed to get a picture of 92002 working a late running 6S94 Dollands Moor - Irvine thru WBQ at 14:38 on Wednesday 23/1/13
Managed to get this shot before my dog seen them. There was about 8 of them, but they all ran up the trees except this one.
Managed to work a full field of vision of the what is a great venue in Altoona, PA.; the now closed ALTO Tower (PRR; built 1880) and the rails looking west. Work continues to modernize the facilities of Norfolk Southern in the Altoona area; June 26, 2012.
Head of the Bight and Whales. The Head of the Great Australian Bight has a lookout controlled and managed by Yalata Aboriginal Community. It is a further 165 kms west of Fowlers Bay. The Bight is a breeding and calving grounds for Southern Right Whales and it is a favoured spot for them from June until October. There is a small viewing platform there on cliffs that are about 70 metres high and by late August about 70 Southern Right Whales are usually in these waters. Our cruise from Fowlers Bay actually takes us into the Southern Ocean around Fowlers Bay where we should see plenty of Southern Right Whales as Fowlers Bay is second to Head of the Bight for calving and whale spotting. The Fowlers Bay area has around 100 whales passing through on occasions. You are also likely to see Humpback whales on the cruise too as well as dolphins, sea lions, fur seals, marine birds – including Albatross, Sea Eagles and Little Penguins. Southern Right Whales have no fins and often have white lumpy sections on their backs whilst Humpback Whales have small dorsal fins on their backs and pectoral flippers on their sides. Humpback whales do not breed and calve along the Great Australian Bight. Whales have frequented this area for a long period and a whaling station operated in the Fowlers Bay area from around 1840 to 1844.
Fowlers Bay. A port like Fowlers Bay was essential for the establishment of the Yalata sheep run in 1860. Communication with Adelaide for supplies or mail was by ship. A postal service began in 1865 mainly for the Yalata sheep run but there were other runs near Fowlers Bay. The government approved the construction of a police station and lockup for prisoners at Fowlers Bay. The coast was surveyed in 1867 from Fowlers Bay to the Western Australian border and a store keeper was licensed to operate there on 13 March 1867. Also in March a member of parliament made the first parliamentary visit to Fowlers Bay. His voyage from Port Adelaide took four days. The government then appointed two Justices of the Peace to Fowlers Bay in June 1867. Later in 1867 a local resident requested a doctor to be sent to Fowlers Bay as many of the Aboriginals were dying of disease and needed medical attention. In July 1867 the government approved £1,000 for a small jetty to be built at Fowlers Bay. The Fowlers Bay Post Office in 1867 was busy. The government spent £499 financing the mail service from Port Lincoln to Fowlers Bay for a revenue from those mails of only £108. But communication changed drastically in 1876 when the government spent £600 building a telegraph station and Post Office at Fowlers Bay. The telegraph station, which was also a repeater station, started operating on 8 December 1877 with the first telegraph line completed from Adelaide to Port Lincoln to Fowlers Bay and onwards to Eucla and Perth. R Knuckey from the government built the line across the Nullarbor from Fowlers Bay to Eucla with 38 men and 89 horses from July 1876 to July 1877. WA still had to complete the telegraph line to Eucla.
The town was re-surveyed in 1890 when the Hundred of Caldwell was surveyed. A timber and iron school room opened in 1893. From 1896 the school room was used for Congregational Church services and a foot pump organ was placed in the school room for use the by the children as well as the church congregation. The school closed in 1959 and children were sent to Coorabie School. Other facilities in the small town included: a bigger rebuilt jetty in 1896 which was then extended in 1907 and 1914 and again in 1948, a new Police Station in 1883 and Courthouse addition on the side street in 1912. The Institute was officially opened on 13 January 1923 with the foundation stone laid by George Murray of Yalata station in 1922. Although a hotel was licensed in the 1880s the current building was erected around 1900. Near the jetty is the Captain Matthew Flinders monument which was erected in 1948. In the early years there was evidently much drunkenness especially when a new shipment of beer and spirits arrived at the jetty! This was a busy jetting shipping out wheat and wool. The port was fortunate to be served by the Coast Steamships Limited from 1901 to 1966. The wheat trader James Darling, who had flourmills around SA, also ran his own steamer service to Fowlers Bay until 1942. Darling’s last steamer on the Fowlers route was called the Coorabie. Throughout this period some sailing ketches also serviced the ship route from Port Adelaide to Fowlers Bay including the Failie. The Yandra was especially built for the Far West Coast services of Eyre Peninsula. This steamer was built in Denmark in 1928 with a shallow draft for places like Fowlers Bay which it serviced it until it sank in Spencers Gulf in 1959.
From the town’s foundation Betts ran a general store in Fowlers Bay from 1890 to 1925. They also ran stores in Denial Bay, Ceduna, Streaky Bay etc. The caravan park is now located where the general store once stood. The town has declined since the closing of Bett’s store and then that of the Telegraph Office in 1927. The Telegraph Office was a small addition in 1877 to the 1875 built Post Office. It is on the esplanade and is now the oldest building in Fowlers Bay. The Harbour Master’s house in West Terrace was built around 1890. The last harbour master was Mervyn Warmington who left with the last ship in 1966. He was married in 1956 in the Fowlers Bay Public Hall at the age of 26 years. The Post Office closed in 1967 after 92 years of usage. Today tourism and whale watching keep the town alive today with about 25 residents. The caravan park has a fine a café using locally caught fish. The bay is known as a nursery area for mother whales and their infants. On the edge of the town is a giant white coastal sand dune which looks as if it will one day swallow the town. But in 1952 it was estimated that Fowlers Bay would be under the sand dune within 20 years – i.e. 1972. That has not happened yet.
Managing a TON of information in a clear way turned out to be a challenge... hopefully it works for people.

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."
