So this is Terry the T-Rex one of the largest suits in my collection of animals. I’ve had him a few years but only just got around to fixing him up and wearing him. He was another rescue basket case costume which I came across by way of a person I knew that managed a council’s waste disposal site. He had been abandoned there and would have met his end if I had not recovered him.
When I went to collect him, he was sat out in the open on a pallet looking all sad and worse for wear. Instantly I knew I had buggered up he was huge and filled the entire back of my car. Once I stuffed him in, I set off home with my rather grotty foul smelling dinosaur looking out the back window at following motorists. Heck knows what they all thought of been eyed up by a T-Rex.
I named him project “the BRB” and I set to work on him the night I got him but soon lost interest as the more I dismantled him the more problems I found with him. He was extremely dirty every part of him had an issue some big some small. So, I just chucked him in my spare room and tried to forget about him. The years passed until now when I pulled him out and finally finished him.
He’s a custom-made T-rex suit build by Rainbow productions UK some time in the 2000s. So, when he was new, he must have cost a small fortune. Am not entirely sure what he was originally used for but it was not for energetic dancing in as he weighs a ton. But from the limited information I have on him it is rumored that he was used to promote the Nintendo DS game “Dinosaur King” as Terry the T-Rex. The only evidence I have of such use are a couple of scanned photos from somebody I got chatting with on twitter where they are posing with my T-Rex at a game’s tournament in London.
He is built like a tank his outer skin comprises of heavy fleece fabric air brushed with a stenciled pattern detail. Up is back there’s a heavy duty zipper but this is not for wearer entry it is there only to allow for the removal of the inner suit which gives him his bulk. This is a thick sponge foam body pod covered with airtex netting with rings internal for support. There are several cells filled with foam lumps on the hips and the tail is also stuffed with foam lumps. Entry into the suit is actually between the legs by way of a Velcro opening very much like barney the dinosaur. So, to put him on you have to stick him over your head and drop him over yourself before having a helper do up the Velcro.
When I got him, his inner suit was in a filthy condition the tail cell had failed so his tail was a droopy saggy thing some of the foam structure had torn and some of the seams of the netting had failed. The outer skin was ok but also very dirty and the Velcro that secured it around the neck had peeled off and needed sewing back on. His feet which at first, I thought where ok where a bodged mess all his claw tips needed replacing and the elastic cuff around the ankle had perished like wise for the cuff around the gloves. Now to the mask oh wow it was in a bad state the teeth where a bodged mess of card board and duct tape the mouth linings where gunked up with glue from the many attempts over the years to reglue the teeth and the foam view screening was torn and dry rotted it needed a rebuild.
To fix him I completely stripped down the inner body suit cleaned it refilled the cells with Asdas finest budget pillow filling. Glued and patched the tears in the foam and hand stitched all the seams I had to spit to dismantle it. The feet were given new hard resin claw tips and new elastics. The gloves elastics where also replaced. The outer skin was washed and the Velcro was resewn by hand around the neck. The mask was the biggest job as I pulled out the entire mouth linings and made new ones from thin MDF covered with black fleece. I re-covered the original teeth he had with new cream spandex gluing them back in with black hot melt glue. The linings where then glued back in and a new nylon mesh screen was fitted. He was finally complete.
Wearing him is like slipping into another world he’s very heavy but well balanced the arms have been designed to give you limited movement and are stumpy and short so you have got to adapt the silly short arms of a real T-rex. The vision is difficult and is obstructed by the teeth. Also due to the size of the mask you have a six-foot blind spot all around you where an adult person can stand and be invisible to you. The inside of the mask is cavernous and when you want to get out you need a helper to gently pull it all off you which is kind of been like been born again. But all in all it’s a rather fun suit to wear and clown around in. So after my original reluctance to fix him where I even just considered taking him back to where I found him am rather glad that I did carry on till the end as I can see him becoming some what of a show stopper costume and as you know kids frigging love dinosaurs so he’s going to bring a lot of smiles.

With the I-55 Managed Lane Project, we are looking at adding lanes to the existing interstate that can be used to manage traffic flow, making I-55 more convenient for everyone who uses it. Only new lanes would be tolled; the parts that are freeways will stay freeways.
Managed to get one working 8746 from a load of various bits I have collected over the years.
This is an unusual setup as I have used a PCB from 1972 (I had to resolder a defective hookswitch) but with modern 4000R bell coils (so this rings well on modern wiring systems).
The microphone insert is also a "modern" 21a type (condenser mic) rather than the noisy carbon types that were still around in the early 1990s!
It works well although I can only dial out by connecting it to my Nokia 22 GSM fixed terminal adapter,as my landline no longer works with loop disconnect dialling (it is one of the newer LLU circuits provided at the VDSL cabinet rather than the Telephone Exchange)

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."
Managed to somehow get through this road avoiding people selling me suits, massages, tuc tucs and dodgy ping pong shows.
Managed to take several shots of this cheeky little squirrel, liked this one the best. His colour was a gorgeous shade of blue gray which makes him stand out amongst this background.
Group exercise. The training room was a wonderful Board Room situated in an old Grade II listed Georgian building in the Welsh Valleys.
Managed to get a walk around Stover Country Park with my Camera and Macro Lens. Lots of wonderful stuff around, but most of it was on the wing so virtually impossible to shoot. However, I managed a couple of ones I am happy with...
Jill and I managed to notch up just over 25km on our bikes yesterday for the obligatory ride to Cape Vlamingh at the west end of the beautiful island. We even managed to organize the selfie of us two with the Cape in the background. Not too bad a physical effort for a pair of oldsters like we are, but I noticed some of the hills were getting more taxing on the way back to civilisation and a recovery swim at the Basin. The inhabitants of the seal colony at nearby Cathedral Rocks were still loafing for the tourist cameras, but generally most of the wildlife we’d become used to describing on previous visits was conspicuous by its absence. However, we did see a fairly fat looking Dugite snake cross the road in front of us not long after we’d eaten a sustaining ham and salad sandwich. Perhaps interestingly, Jill and I can remember exactly most of the places we’ve seen snakes on the island during our many previous visits.
