I managed to get a quick picture of the Downey Float getting ready to head out for it's 8-hour ride to Pasadena...taking side streets. On a normal day, it's only 25 minutes away. Our City float is built just a few blocks from my home, so I frequently go to the building site the week before New Year's Eve. Not this year, though. The route takes it just 10 houses away from mine at the end of the street. Usually, it's traveling so quickly I can't get a good shot. Just feet from the main street, they were stopped for some last-minute adjustments. I hopped out of the car and grabbed a quick shot of the back end of the float. Thanks, Judy, for coming with me. I should have gotten a picture of you with the float.

So I'm sitting here this monrning looking at other people's "Stupid, stupid, stupid" photos on Flickr for FGR. The speakers on my computer are not the best quality so I put on my headphones and cranked up the tunes.
About 10 minutes later I remembered that I had a pot of steel-cut oats cooking on the stove that needed to be stirred every so often. Whoops.
So I go to take a picture of it and can't even manage to get the thing in focus. STUPID!

Somehow I managed to miss the enormous queues at 11.30pm tonight while traveling home. People were queuing to fill up anything available before the fuel rationing comes fully on-board here in Iran.
See a video I took here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVd4YCBgbGU
The noise from this place could be heard from a distance with fights breaking out sporadically as people waited in line for their turn. Police were at hand to calm things down but it didn't seem to help much.
I've been following the "Peak Oil" news for some time and such prophesied scenes I hoped wouldn't transpire. This is the world's 4th largest oil producing country let us not forget.
The government action on this matter is one I kinda support for many reason - not being a driver here makes that easy to say. But it should be known that the government subsidies on the fuel have to end and normalisation must come about. It's madness, it costs more for bottled water here that petrol, and how the people can piss it away!

Managed a few quick snaps with my Lumix on a very brief visit to Hartlepool 19th Century Cannon
Situated in Hartlepool’s Headland keeping a watchful eye looking out to sea is the Sebastopol Cannon near the Heugh Battery. This cannon was captured from the Russian Army at the battle of Sebastopol during the Crimean War (1854-56). In October 1857, the then Secretary of State, Lord Panmure, offered the cannon to Hartlepool Borough Council who gratefully accepted it. The cannon was transported from London on the steam ship ‘Margaret’ at a total cost of £2.19s.3d., and, after a year’s delay, arrived at Hartlepool in September, 1858.
Managed a smile anyway.

Aaaarghh!! Just managed to squeeze this one in before the light finally faded. That'll learn me not to take a camera and tripod with me EVERYWHERE :(
These clouds were GLORIOUS when I first saw them, leaving the local music festival where my band had played. Had to go and pick up the 6-year old from the baby-sitting friends, drive back sedately when I wanted to race back and put said 6-year old to bed before I could get out and mess with the exposures etc.
Ah well. :)

We managed to find a camping site at Kenepuru Head, equally stunning. Dinner came in the form of oyster picked from the rocky beach here, cooked with scramble eggs, cooked in the rain and wind (thankfully, the ranger Ross allowed us to cook beside his campervan to shield us from too much wind). This is our way of ushering into the New Year.
Managed to get a shot with a passing cloud in the background. The newborn male is high up in the crape myrtle.
I managed to snap a couple of images at Glasgow's Street Vault, pole vaulting competition in George Square before I got rained off by the usual Glasgow Fair Friday weather.
Managed to get a flight in a Huey on Press day at Ohakea, with the doors open! It was like being hit by 6 people with rolled up newspapers while 2 more got hold of my shoulders and shook me!
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."

Managing changes to medical assistance requirements
The global assistance sector has been asked to step up and respond in light of Covid-19. With travellers around the world unable to complete – or in some cases – start their travel, whether for leisure of business, the tasks of reorganising travel plans and repatriating clients have fallen to assistance providers. So, what has changed about how the assistance industry is helping patients, whether it is managing costs, or the logistics of travelling safely – and in line with local and international Covid requirements – in a post-pandemic world? The issue of managing costs will also be addressed, with cost containment services reporting on how they have adapted to the changing risk landscape. In this session, local and global experts will offer attendees the benefit of their experience in identifying the latest challenges for the industry, as well as offering solutions to companies facing complex medical assistance and repatriation cases.
