Pars Today- The United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Palestine, Francesca Albanese, gave a report on the participation of international co...
Despite reporting over 4,400 confirmed cases of mpox as of 27 June 2025, Sierra Leone has performed genomic characterization on only approximately 2.5% of these cases (108 sequences), representing a significant limitation in understanding viral evolution and informing targeted public health interventions. Currently, these genomic data are deposited in international repositories such as Pathoplexus, GISAID, and NCBI Virus; however, the disparity between outbreak detection and genomic data generation hampers real-time surveillance efforts.
The week-long workshop employed a multidisciplinary, hands-on approach combining didactic instruction, practical exercises, and group data analysis. The curriculum included:
Day 1: Introduction to genomic surveillance principles, sequencing technologies, and foundational bioinformatics tools such as Linux and Conda environments.
Day 2: Emphasis on sequencing data quality control (FastQC, MultiQC), read trimming (Fastp, Hostile), and genome assembly techniques utilizing reference-based (BWA, Cutadapt) and de novo (SPAdes) approaches.
Day 3: Variant detection and analysis (SAMtools, FreeBayes, Snippy), consensus sequence generation (Bcftools), and genome annotation (SnpEff, VEP).
Day 4: Phylogenetic analysis, clade classification (Nextclade, Nextstrain), and visualization using platforms such as GISAID, Pathoplexus, NCBI Virus, Microreact, iTOL, and Galaxy.
Day 5: Integration of all components through a case study simulating mpox outbreak response, culminating in data interpretation and strategic planning.
Walter Oguta, WHO AFRO EPI Analytics Specialist and the Lead Bioinformatics Trainer, underscored the practical value of the training, stating, “Translating genomic data into actionable public health strategies is the ultimate goal. Our aim was to equip participants with both technical proficiency and confidence to utilize these tools effectively.”
Freetown, Sierra Leone - In a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing mpox outbreak response and genomic surveillance capacity, the Central Public Health Reference Laboratory (CPHRL) in Freetown hosted the mpox Genomics and Bioinformatics training wo…
The Fediverse Passport would be the central account for all users on the Fediverse.
How it would work
a. Upon signing up for the a platform on the Fediverse the user would be redirected to the "Create your Passport" You would create your unique username. Once signed up you would then have an account on every platform connected to the Fediverse.
b. If someone friends/follows you on one platform they would automatically follow you on all platforms. Insuring that communities and friends could stay connected across platforms.
c. The passport for the user would show your feed on all platforms and allow you to selected which platform you want to see your feed from, also allowing you to directly search your content so you could find a post for whatever reason you need.
d. For the subscriber it would show them your feed and allow them to easily find your content.
e. Tons of customization options including the ability to monetize and or set a subscription fee for the video, blogging, and other "arts" platforms.
Safe Guards
You would be allowed to set your privacy setting to, Public, Subscribers Only, Approve Subscribers, Mutual Friends only, Private (Requires link)
Benefit
Would allow stream less interaction across the whole Fediverse and really get it going. No more having to create a different account on each platform and now you can claim an identity and keep track of your communities, also each site would directly help "advertise" the others.
A passport in the way described here doesn't need to be centralised. Your profile could link to your other profiles through metadata, rather than a centralised system.
It's not a matter of how ones profile would be accessed, but how it would be created in the first place snd how it would be managed.
Necessarily, those who implement the creation of accounts have control over how they're created, who is allowed to create them and how they will be handled after creation.
Any scheme to establish one "central" (your own term) account for the entire fediverse will necessarily be managed by one "central" service, which means one "central" authority over account creation and management
And no, a central account doesn't require a central service, it just requires amendments to the protocols to allow for a decentralised identity. Nostr, bluesky, etc all work that way. Nostr is full of nazis and bitcoin bros, and bluesky is effectively centralised in other ways, but both of them do have a genuinely decentralised single identity system.
There are a few ways of doing it. A single account on the first platform, and then signing up to remote platforms with that account. A system of trust that allows a user to verify that other remote accounts are genuinely also them. Combine it with platforms that recognise content posted from other accounts/platforms that belong to the same person, and let them edit the "remote" content locally and federate it out again etc.
So you don't end up with a centralised identity, but rather, the ability to manage your identity from whichever instance you happen to be signed in to as if it were created locally on that instance.
And further - the establishment of a single, fediverse-wide account for each user would make it far too easy for those so inclined to silence anyone they wanted merely by banning their one and only account.
It could have several even as many as 100 different people with part of the key to access the center point for the passports so that any decisions would have to be unanimous and would keep things purely being monitored for technological updates.
Unless what you are describing involves some type of Decentralized Identifier, let's please stay away from any solution that depends on a single point of failure.
I am not quite sure how this works - where is my "passport" created? On a centralized platform? What if I want to have different accounts on different instances?
Ideally on a platform similar to Gmail in its decentralized nature but connected to the fediverse and accessable through the main fediverse website as well.
We could allow for duplicate username with a unique 10 digit code identifier allowing you to adjust your privacy settings for each platform.
I like the concept, but personally I see the decentralised nature of the Fediverse as a benefit rather than a hindrance, and moving all identity functionality to a centralised system would create more problems than it solves.
Suddenly you'll have a single point of failure for the entire Fediverse. A very appetising target for hackers and DDOS attacks.
An alternative that's in the spirit of your idea would be to allow for auth delegation, i.e. if you sign in with an Activitypub ID rather than a plain username, redirect to that instance to sign in then redirect back to the instance you started from, auth token in hand.
The nice thing about this approach is it's basically just OAuth 2. It's familiar, simple to implement and built in to a lot of web frameworks already. The only extra step would be advertising the server's auth URL via the nodeinfo endpoint, which is fairly trivial to do.
It's like everyone forgot about open ID but also having accounts tied to the an instance is not the problem with good export and import. Communities are what we need to have abstraction on just like IRC if I go to @games i should see threads from all instances on the network. Just like everyone in an IRC network can talk in the same channel even though they connect on different IRC servers.
What Fediverse could use was some kind of equivalent of Linktree. "Here's my personal accounts on Fediverse. Here's some related to my projects. Here's some other random links."
Because currently I'm like "maybe check out my Mastodon profile, it has links" - it works, kinda, but I'm not sure it's the best solution. For example, you could include support for this in the fedi software, so once you specify where your link page is, it'd pull the links and show them on your profile.
...I know, this would be too beautiful for this world and it'd get run over by spammers. But for glorious few days we'd have sensible Fediverse profiles! Think about it!
There is also KeyOxide with solves part of it via cryptographic verification and I believe some fediverse platforms already support it: codeberg.org/keyoxide

Packs of kids ride bikes up and down my street all day long in the summer.
...While bozos on Nextdoor and elsewhere continually screech that they must be "up to something," and "where are the parents?" and other NIMBY horseshit.
These are the same dim bulbs who bitch about Kids These Days spending all their time in front of their screens and never going outside. Gee, maybe that's because every time they do go outside you try to call the cops on them?
I have never found someone that can say what exactly is wrong with my broken neck and back. It doesn't even matter to me any more. I simply can't hold posture for more than half an hour at a time, and am always in pain at noise and light sensitive levels. No one seems to know what to do with me. Like I don't care, cause me harm under supervision and watch how I fall apart. It is blatantly obvious to anyone that actually watches me do anything physical. I REALLY want to do stuff and will throw myself into anything, but my body just fails me. It is as real as lifting weights in a gym to the point of failure. If I push way past my limits I will fail in a similar extraordinarily painful way that can take months to recover from. I did it once when a friend visited. I was on the floor of a Yard House bar flopping like a fish in tears. MRI shows nothing. It doesn't matter how hard I push in advance to try and hurt myself thinking it will show up in the scan. The pain goes away entirely when lying flat. The time it takes to calibrate before the scan is enough for all of the discomfort to fade until I am upright again. There is no apparent way to monetize this with a scalpel. What god do I need to sacrifice to?
Do you still condemn me to hell's hounds of social security limbo oh great authority? ~/s~
So in the US, the rules are quite frankly stupid. This is not an official post btw, just my own observations. I want to say before all this, I'm so sorry you're dealing with that.
We're required to make all our determinations according to what's called the POMS, available here: secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf…
In short, and unfortunately it's vastly more complicated than this, but it can take a long time before I even see your claim, and if you're under 50 it's really hard to be allowed on benefits. You basically need to be mentally unwell enough you can't sustain a normal work week in an unskilled job, or you literally can't stand up for 2 hours in a day and imaging and physical exams demonstrate that. We need to have a Medically Determined Impairment before we can assign any limitations to you, meaning if your MRI shows nothing and your doctors can't figure out what's wrong, essentially I can't allow you unless other specific criteria are met. All decisions that aren't allowances require a SSA doctor to sign off, so I can't make an entirely independent judgement that someone is not disabled. There's also Federal Quality Assurance, who will return claims if they disagree with the outcome, and they have a quota to meet.
It's all completely fucked to be honest. My best advice is be honest with your adjudicator about everything, especially your address, and appeal up to the level of an administrative law judge if denied, because they have a lot more leeway than we do in allowing people.
My drum room is her nap room. I have to let her know I'm gonna play whenever I do, so she'll leave and I can shut the door, minimize the noise to the rest of the house. She's naked or Donald Ducking it at all times, so every time I want to play I get an eyefull of her chocolate Cheerio before I can start
I think there's a ton of benefit to getting a teacher, personally. They can guide your learning and provide advice on form and technique a lot easier than trying to figure it out with like, YouTube videos. If you're unsure whether it's for you and wanna get started before investing in a kit though, you can go a long way with a good practice pad, a pair of sticks, and a copy of Buddy Rich's Modern Interpretation of Snare Drum Rudiments
Things don't change very often tbh. Most of the Mental Health Listings were updated in 2017 I wanna say, but if someone doesn't meet those criteria I don't believe the other rules have been updated in quite some time.
Mental health is considered in terms of its functional impact on whether you're capable of holding a job. There's basically four areas under consideration: your ability to undo and remember tasks and instructions, things like that; your ability to maintain concentration; your ability to interact with other people; and your ability to adapt to changes and manage yourself.
There's a lot of jobs available in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles that you can theoretically perform even with some significant mental health impairments though. And keep in mind, this is pretty simplified, but that's the general principle.
Depends on my mood somewhat, but I definitely have a sweet tooth. I try to be good and only keep healthy sweet snacks like apples and sugar snap peas in the house, but I definitely fold to some peanut butter granola or gummy candies or something like that
New TAW wins: media caves, pays Trump; Senate passes Big Beautiful Bill—House showdown next; U. Penn strips Lia Thomas, apologizes; new pharma whistleblower drops mockery gold; more.
Trump hosted supposed moderate House Republicans trying to convince them to support his tax cuts for the rich, but multiple people said that the president appeared not to know what's in the bill.
Lot's of people are saying it's big and beautiful. No one's ever said those words before. Big and beautiful. If you think about it, big and beautiful always go together. My friend Bill, now there's a smart man. Bill is so very smart. He said to to me, "Mr. President sir, you have done so many wonderful things, you must be proud of all you have accomplished." And I am.

source: was Eagle Scout, knew the DeMolay kids (some were in both), and they were goofy "patriotic 'Mericans"--they'd be dented skull MAGA kids today, just as their dads were goofy beta beergut MAGA tough-talker types. One kid had a dad that was a Freemason (their Charter... leader?--whatever it's called). None of the kids except that kid went onward to join Freemasonry. I'm saying Massie could be like those kids. They do try to get everyone 😩
I'm not dismissing it as a nothingburger, but a "Senior DeMolay" is nearly akin to saying "Eagle Scout." The oldest you're allowed to be in DeMolay is 18-21 (depending on the state) and then you're out. They use DeMolay like Scouts in some areas. Each chapter IS led by a Freemason (not good), but I'd say Scouts are just as bad of a fraternity *of kids* as DeMolay (but not as bad as Freemasonry, the adult fraternity).
If he did move up and joined Freemasonry, instead of staying at the "kiddie table" as essentially a Scoutleader (he could have been 19 and stayed for a few months, and DeMolay would post this for clout, like universities do for their famous), then yeah a brow raised is very reasonable.
(I don't see a political solution anyway, so I'm not rooting for Massie as some workable angle or needing protection. I just like when he pisses them off, so I'd like him to stay in Congress for that reason alone 😆)

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! The June Border Statistics are in and, once again, they are the LOWEST RECORDED NUMBERS IN UNITED STATES HISTORY. The U.S. Border Patrol reported ZERO releases of Illegal Aliens into the Country. In addition, Customs and Border Protection only had 25,243 “Nationwide Encounters” throughout the entire month, which is absolutely STAGGERING, considering the Biden Administration was “encountering” tens of thousands of people every single DAY. America’s Borders are Safe and Secure, and the entire World knows it. All we need to do is keep it this way, which is exactly why Republicans need to pass “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.” We still have Radical Left Judges trying to open the Border, and defy the Supreme Court, which is why Republicans must be smart, strong, and never let these Crazed Judges turn us into a Third World Country. The Men and Women of Border Patrol, ICE, and CBP are doing an amazing job but, they need more help and, they are counting on Republicans to, GET IT DONE!
