Could Anger At the IRS Unite Democrats And the Tea Party?
What could bring reform advocates and tea partyers together? Anger at the IRS.
Patrick ReisNational Journal
Rep. Chris Van Hollen has a proposal he says can assuage both the tea party's concerns over IRS overreach and progressives' fretting over the flood of anonymous campaign cash unleashed by the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling.
His plan: Sue the IRS.
The Maryland Democrat announced Wednesday that he is suing the agency, as well as the Treasury Department, to demand a change in the way they evaluate nonprofits that proclaim themselves to be "social-welfare" organizations.
The IRS currently allows such organizations — a class of power players known as "tax-exempt 501(c)4s," whose ranks include Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the Obama-aligned Priorities USA — to dabble in political advocacy, so long as they keep such activities secondary to their general charitable work.
But Van Hollen says that such a "primary charitable, secondarily political" arrangement leaves open a loophole for overtly political organizations to exploit benefits intended to be reserved for charities. Chief among those benefits is that 501(c)4s do not have to disclose their donors, and so corporations, unions, and other groups can pour money into advocacy efforts without fearing public backlash, or indeed any public scrutiny at all.
Hoping to lift the curtain on political spending, Van Hollen wants the IRS to rewrite its rules to require 501(c)4s to engage exclusively in social-welfare activities, and keep out of political spending entirely. If the groups want to get into politics, they should register under a different nonprofit classification — known as 527s — that would protect the groups from taxation but require them to disclose all of their donors.
"You can spend the money, but the law does require, as Congress intended, that you [tell] the public where the money is coming from," Van Hollen said Wednesday.
The fight over political spending has taken on new urgency since 2010, when the Citizens United decision struck down campaign finance laws that had previously checked outside groups' political spending.
Outside political spending has exploded since the decision, as have the number of groups seeking 501(c)4 status. More than 3,200 groups sought the status in 2012, as opposed to 1,735 in 2010.
Van Hollen said that his primary goal in the suit was campaign finance transparency, but he hoped that the suit's ancillary consequences could pull in allies from the opposite end of the political spectrum.
Congressional Republicans have been outraged over the IRS's campaign finance role since the agency admitted earlier this year that some of its employees had used criteria that targeted tea-party groups seeking 501(c)4 status for closer scrutiny.
Van Hollen rejected Republicans' claim that the IRS was engaged in politically motivated attacks, echoing Democrats' recent claims that liberal groups were also in the agency's crosshairs. But he said the problem could be rendered moot by removing the IRS's obligation to judge where groups stand along the blurred line between social welfare and political advocacy.

Posted Friday, July 12, 2019 6:00 am
Americans' age, education level and religious affiliation matter greatly when it comes to their opinions on a prospective clergy member's sexual orientation, gender, marital status or views on social issues such as same-sex marriage or abortion, a new poll shows.
The survey released Monday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that among all Americans who identify with a specific religion, about 8 in 10 say their faith should allow women and divorced people to be clergy members and just over half say the same about gay men.
Here are some of the poll's findings:
ON ACCEPTING GAY MEN AS CLERGY MEMBERS
• 44% of Americans ages 60 or over who affiliate with a religion think their faith should allow a gay man to become a clergy member, compared with 54% of those ages 45 through 59 and nearly two-thirds of those under age 45.
• Nearly two-thirds of those with a college degree say a gay man should be able to become clergy in their faith, compared with 50% of those without a college degree.
• About a third of evangelical Protestants think a gay man should be accepted as a clergy member in their faith, compared with about twice as many Catholics and mainline Protestants.
ON THE ORDINATION OF WOMEN AND DIVORCED PEOPLE
• At least three-quarters of evangelical Protestants, mainline Protestants and Catholics think a woman should be able to become a clergy member in their respective faiths.
• Majorities across religious groups think someone who is divorced should be able to be ordained. Catholics, however, are slightly less likely than Protestants to find it acceptable.
ON SUPPORT FOR THE SOCIAL VIEWS OF CLERGY
• About half of Americans identifying with a religion say their faith should allow clergy members who believe that abortion should be legal, that gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry or that sex before marriage is morally acceptable.
• Religious Americans ages 60 or older are less likely than those younger to think clergy in their faith can include someone who believes sex before marriage is morally acceptable, 43% versus 59%, or someone who believes same-sex marriage should be legal, 38% versus 60%.
• 35% of older religious Americans support their faith ordaining someone who thinks abortion should be legal, compared with 54% of those younger.
• Majorities of those who attend church monthly or less often think their faith should allow clergy members who believe that abortion should be legal, that same-sex marriage should be legal or that sex before marriage should be accepted. About a third of those who attend religious services at least twice a month think the same.
The AP-NORC poll of 1,137 adults was conducted May 17-20 using a sample drawn from NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

FM Technical Profile: WGEX
Station Name:
Power 97-3
[map] East of the Bellville community in Miller County, Georgia. About a half-mile east of the intersection of Waycaser Road on Donley Road, just before the county line.
Antenna HAAT:
How's the Signal?
This station is a rimshot into both Dothan and Tallahassee, FL. Plays primarily to the Albany, GA market.
[Radio-Locator]
This station appears to compete in the Albany, Georgia market, but puts a fringe signal over much of the eastern part of the greater Dothan area. In February 2010 the calls changed to WGEX as "GEneration X", with a mix of 90's pop and rock hits. Previously, it was WRAK, "Magic 97.3" with an adult contemporary format. The WRAK calls go back to April 2003. In the course of a month between March and April 2003, the station had a whopping five calls: It went from WFXF to WLCL, then to WMXV a few days later, followed by WKGL within a few weeks. Later, they landed on WRAK, then finally WGEX. The 90s hits and "Gen X" slogan lasted until Christmas 2011, when the station debuted Christmas music. After the holiday the station unwrapped it's new format, CHR, as "97-3 Hit Music Now". Before the recent moves, it was WMGR (sister to WMGR AM, the calls standing for "Marvin Griffin Radio".) Griffin also owned the Bainbridge Searchlight newspaper and was governor of Georgia in the 50s. Prior to 1994 it was WJAD. In June 2016 iHeart Media changed the slogan to Power 97.3, but kept the format and programming the same.
The station was taken off the air by Hurricane Michael, which hit the area on 10 October 2018, but resumed operated by Sunday 14 October 2018.

Suzanne Ramon est une violoncelliste née à Budapest en 1946.

Biographie
Dès 8 ans, elle intègre l'Académie Ferenc Liszt avec dispense d'âge, avant de remporter, à 10 ans, le prix Béla Bartok. Mais c'est aussi l'insurrection de Budapest, et sa famille émigre en Israël. La petite Shoshana, comme on l'appelle alors, poursuit sa passion pour le violoncelle. À 13 ans, elle fait ses débuts au Palais des Arts de Tel-Aviv, en jouant le Concerto de Schumann. Un an plus tard, elle est diplômée de l'Académie de Tel-Aviv.

En 1962, elle reçoit une bourse pour venir travailler à Paris avec André Navarra au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique. Le pianiste hongrois Georges Cziffra, impressionné par ses dons « hors du commun », l'accueille, l'héberge, et la traite comme sa propre fille.

En 1964, Suzanne Ramon remporte le Premier Prix de violoncelle au Conservatoire de Paris, est lauréate du Concours international de Genève, se voit décerner le Grand Prix Oreste Ferrari en Italie où elle sera également lauréate de l'Académie Chigiana de Sienne. Pour couronner l'ensemble, l'année suivante, elle remporte le Premier Prix de musique de chambre au Conservatoire de Paris, avec Catherine Collard au piano.

En 1974, elle enregistre son premier disque, la Sonate pour violoncelle seul de Zoltan Kodaly

En 1975, Suzanne RAMON participe à l'émission « Le Grand Echiquier » présentée par Jacques CHANCEL dont Georges Cziffra est l'invité principal.

Suivent des récitals à la BBC en Grande-Bretagne et à Bruxelles, puis une tournée avec le Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

À l'issue de ses années d'apprentissage, Suzanne Ramon se trouve au confluent de trois grandes influences, austro-hongroise, israélienne et française (la tradition de la musique, la tradition des instruments à cordes, la tradition de la culture). Elle entame une carrière internationale, fait quelques rencontres qui la marquent : Pablo Casals, Isaac Stern, Yehudi Menuhin... celle de Mstislav Rostropovitch plus particulièrement.

En 2004, retour triomphal à Budapest, sa ville natale, avec un concert dans la Salle de l'Académie Franz Liszt.

En 2006, invitée au Festival de Saint Petersbourg, Suzanne RAMON enregistre le Concerto de Dvorak à Moscou dans le Tchaikovsky Great Hall.

En 2013, elle est invitée en Chine et joue à guichet fermé à Shenzhen le Concerto de Elgar, la Rapsodie de Bloch et le Kol Nidrei de Bruch, avec le Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra. Ce concert a tellement de succès qu'elle est réinvitée quatre mois plus tard.

Most tracks were recorded in 1969, but the set also features two numbers recorded five years before – and titles include "Let's Get Together", "Sun Goin Down", "Lol I'll Be With You Always", "Out On The Ocean Sailing", "Birmingham Special", "Soon My Work Will All Be Done", and "There's A Destruction In That Land". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Surgeon Well Versed in SILS
Date: 02/12/2022 | Source: Uriminzokkiri (En) | Read original version at source
His surgery is so immaculate that I can't find any defect in it. Excellent! The laparoscopic operation of the DPRK has reached the world level.
This is what Professor Uhany Billy Sand from Finland said after a joint surgical operation in 2017 with Jo Ye Rim, doctor at the abdominal surgery department of Kim Man Yu Hospital.
To pioneer an advanced operation method
After his graduation from the postgraduate course at Pyongyang University of Medical Sciences, Jo Ye Rim was appointed as a doctor of the abdominal surgery department of Kim Man Yu Hospital in 2010. At that time, laparoscopic operation, especially SILS (single incision laparoscopic surgery), was conducted only in a few developed countries as it was an advanced method in the field of abdominal surgery.
From his university days, he had a dream of introducing a new surgical method. He made a decision to introduce SILS, a high stage of laparoscopic operation, which was an unknown field in his country until then.
He analyzed the relevant data at the Grand People's Study House and the Sci-Tech Complex and conducted simulated operations several times. In the course of this, he developed surgical apparatuses suited to the constitutions of the Koreans, and conceived a new extracorporeal procedure.
Based on these preparations, he succeeded in pioneering single incision laparoscopic appendectomy by means of SILS in March 2016. The operation was of high degree with only 1 cm long cut, 5 to 10 minutes of operating time, no complication after surgery and leaving hospital within a few hours with no wound left. In January 2017 he succeeded in single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy of a higher level by means of SILS.
The laparoscopic experts from Europe, who had performed joint operations with him, did not trust his method of operation at first; only when they themselves watched his operation, did they admitted that his was a unique method.
A foreign professor said that the young laparoscopic expert possesses a smart and sophisticated technique, and another professor said that the operator was very skillful in the operation and the method of laparoscopic surgery by means of SILS was of high degree.
Without resting on laurels
Today, laparoscopic surgery by means of SILS, which can be applied to almost all abdominal diseases, has emerged as a new laparoscopic operation system, rapidly accelerating the development of abdominal surgery. This technique is not described in any book, and no one is easily likely to transfer it to others.
Jo buckled down to a new study again. His goal was to treat all diseases related with abdominal surgery by means of SILS.
He presented single incision laparoscopic small intestine excision by means of SILS through minimally invasive surgery in May 2018 and single incision laparoscopic sigmoidectomy by means of SILS in April 2020.
The medical community highly appreciated the methods.
But he continued to open up new fields without resting on laurels.
He succeeded in performing single incision laparoscopic common bile duct exploration by means of SILS in August 2020, single incision laparoscopic gastro-jejunostomy in June 2022 and single incision laparoscopic right hemicolectomy by means of SILS followed by single incision laparoscopic gastrectomy by means of SILS in September, thus performing great feats in the field of abdominal surgery of the country.
For his successes in several operations by means of SILS, he was awarded 10-odd national certificates of invention and technical conception.
Now working as head of the laparoscopic study room at Kim Man Yu Hospital, he has successfully conducted over one thousand and several hundred laparoscopic surgical operations by means of SLIS. It is his intention to develop more new surgical methods in the future.

Lady Phoebe Fairchild is well aware that the ton would be appalled to learn of a young lady of quality involved in a trade. Therefore, she resorts to selling her beautiful handmade gowns under a fictitious name: Madame Dupree. So when circumstances force her to visit the estate of William Darby, the Viscount of Summerfield, to design ball gowns for his sisters, she assumes Madame's identity. Phoebe's discomfort in her new position as hired help is nothing compared to her visceral attraction to the viscount himself. Heathenishly handsome and shamelessly seductive, Will invites her to be his mistress -- and Phoebe is shockingly tempted to accept. But as their desire for each other grows and the risk of exposure becomes even greater, Phoebe is in dire danger of losing her reputation, her livelihood -- and her chance of becoming the bride of the man whose passion has claimed her forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dangers of Deceiving a Viscount Review...
This was my first time reading one of her novels. I was running out of good authors to read and Amazon sent this title for me to try out. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Her characters are well thought out, she keeps with the story, and gives the customary happy ending. Unfortunately, I never understood how the main characters fell in love. They didn't build up to it, it just happened. It was still an all around good book and I will be looking forward to her next one as well as reading her previous ones...

3.0 out of 5 stars Annoying Hero
Blah - that's the best way to summarize this lackluster romance. Phoebe is delightful, although being blackmailed by the shopkeeper wasn't nearly as villainous as it could've been. The viscount, however, struck me as a pompous prig doing nothing but messing with the help (and I don't care how helplessly he was falling in lust), and a mostly hypocritical individual. The siblings were annoying, and I spend most of this book being annoyed that Greer and Ava didn't get any mention at all...them and their husbands would've added a little interest to an otherwise pretty boring story.
Phoebe is the best part though, and if you've read the other two, you might as well finish up seeing how the trilogy turns out.
Hayley Cann
3.0 out of 5 stars Average in just about everything
It's not a bad book, but it's about as average as it can get. You have a witty, put upon lady fallen upon hard times and you have the "doesn't seem so at first but sensitive" lord. Mix in a little deception, and you have your emotional conflict.
It is well written, by an author with many books under her belt, but I wished it were meatier, juicier. As it were, this wasn't a keeper, I sold it to a used book store. Still it kept me interested enough to finish it, but I didn't feel as though there was any danger of Phoebe not ending up with her Viscount.
It didnt't feel as though this books steps out of the regency mold for more than two minutes and it makes it a very forgetful effort.

Cross-Cultural Adaptation

Countless immigrants, refugees, and temporary sojourners, as well as domestic migrants, leave the familiar surroundings of their home culture and resettle in a new cultural environment for varying lengths of time. Although unique in individual circumstances, all new arrivals find themselves in need of establishing and maintaining a relatively stable working relationship with the host environment. The process of adapting to an unfamiliar culture unfolds through the stress-adaptation-growth dynamic, a process that is deeply rooted in the natural human tendency to achieve an internal equilibrium in the face of adversarial environmental conditions. The adaptation process typically begins with the psychological and physiological experiences of dislocation and duress commonly known as symptoms of culture shock. Over time, through continuous activities of new cultural learning, most people are able to attain increasing levels of functional and psychological efficacy vis-a-vis the host environment. Underpinning the cross-cultural adaptation process are the two interrelated experiences of deculturation of some of the original cultural habits, on the one hand, and acculturation of new ones, on the other. The cumulative outcome of the acculturation and deculturation experiences is an internal transformation in the direction of assimilation into the mainstream culture. Long-term residents and immigrants are also likely to undergo an identity transformation, a subtle and largely unconscious shift from a largely monocultural to an increasingly intercultural self-other orientation, in which conventional, ascription-based cultural categories diminish in relevance while individuality and common humanity play an increasingly significant role in one's daily existence. Central to this adaptation process are one's ability to communicate in accordance to the norms and practices of the host culture and continuous and active engagement in the interpersonal and mass communication activities of the host society.

Third Diapausing Anise Swallowtail Ecloses
Our third anise swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon) of this year eclosed after a winter diapause.
2/28: Despite releasing this individual yesterday, we found it perched in a shaded spot on the ground today unable to fly due to the cool weather so when the sun came out, we placed on a sunny spot and it promptly flew away; below is another photo of it, this time posed on fennel.
2/27: This individual was released; can be seen below posing on Ceanothus
2/26: Another male anise swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon) eclosed today. It is the third to break diapause this year.
Samia ricini L5/L6/Prepupa/Cocoon Rearing Notes (2/6/17-2/26/17)
Rearing notes for our fifth instar, supernumerary sixth instar, and prepupal eri caterpillars; and eri cocoons (Samia ricini). These are offspring of Europe sourced sibling-paired adults from a previously reared brood and have been reared indoors on citrus (Citrus).
The pupa from the opened cocoon is almost fully tanned, but unusually the wing cases look like they well not expand to fill the pale fleshy area
We decided to cut our oldest pupa and it turned out to male (second row, left photo); this pupa's wing cases look properly expanded but one of the antenna is bent at an odd angle
We cut a large cocoon that we suspected was female, and it was (second row, middle photo)
Comparing the male and female pupae, the female pupa has a slightly larger abdomen but otherwise there is no difference (even the antennae are the same size); however, they can be sexed by inspecting their gonophores (a slit like indentation on the ventral tip of the abdomen) - the female slit cross through the fourth and fifth segment after the wings while the male's is contained on the fifth; also, the female's fifth segment merges with the fourth while the male's segments are well defined and bears kidney shaped bumps
The prepupa in the opened cocoon pupated this morning; the teneral state is very bright translucent colored and soft - the ventral side is mostly translucent yellow while the dorsal side is mostly golden brown and the abdominal segments have blue marks where the prolegs used to be
By evening, the pupa had tanned into a golden brown on the ventral side and a rich reddish brown on the dorsal side; the proleg marks are still there but are slightly fainter; strangely, the wing cases have not expanded over the fleshy translucent yellow portion on the ventral side yet
The pupa is male because the fifth abdominal segment after the wings is well defined (not merging with the fourth segment after the wings) and bears two kidney shaped bumps ventrally
2/24:
The prepupa in the opened cocoon has dulled significantly and become soft and loose skinned with a very clear pulse; it is very close to pupation
Finally decided to count up all the cocoons and detach them from leaves since it's been getting crowded in the container we've been letting the larvae spin in; we currently have 32 cocoons with many more to be produced; most weigh around 1.3-1.5 g which is quite small; once we are sure the larvae inside have pupated we will get an official weighing of all the cocoons
A few of the cocoons are extremely thin probably because the larvae were disturbed and ran out of time to finish spinning before becoming immobile; one failed to build a cocoon and only made a few strands which is shown in the fourth row of photos; most cocoons have a pretty large and distinct escape hole at the top; the larvae's body is oriented so that the head is facing the hole
We decided to cut open one of the older cocoons that still has a not-yet-pupated larva in it (fifth and sixth rows of photos); this prepupa is close to pupation based on the firmness and color of the body, as well as the flaccid scoli; it is only about 2.5 cm now and weighs 1.2 g while one of our largest sixth instar larvae is 5.5 cm and weighs 4.2 g; the preupa's body is compact and very saturated in color, giving it a green and yellow color with vibrant blue scoli, though the head capsule and thoracic legs have dulled since they have mostly dissolved internally
Sixth instar larvae are becoming quite large; most are 3-3.5 g and the largest is 4.1 g
Many larvae have developed black sooty spots on their tubercles ever since offering them fruit, and appears to be some sort of disease due to the bad sanitation, though not fatal; those heavily infected have their tubercles completely "melted" down to the base, leaving a black burnt looking spot
Fruit seems to be a good source of water for the larvae but otherwise adds little to their diet; many of the small fifth instars that have trouble taking on mature leaves are beginning to rely more and more on the fruit and yet they are growing much despite consuming quite a lot of it; the sixth instars on the other hand feed mostly on leaves but also feed on the fruit for water once in a while which seems like a pretty balanced diet
Sixth instars making good progress; most already 3+ g and still have a good amount to grow; generally much healthier looking than the normal sized fifth instars as well
Larvae could tolerate high acidity of lemon fruit, though we switched them back to tangerine because the lemon juice causes worse sanitation problems due to its higher viscosity
Offered larvae lemon fruit
Supernumerary sixth instar larvae are much more tolerant of mature leaves than normal fifth instars; likewise, they are growing at a much better rate and look healthy and plump ; the largest is already 3.5 g which is almost the size of a full grown normal fifth; though the weight may be slightly exaggerated because the individual had clearly been feeding on a lot fruit and carried a lot of water weight
We are regularly providing fruit for the larvae as they seem to be doing quite well on it; larvae that have been feeding on it for a long time have gained a faint pink or orange undertone, especially on the thorax
Many cocoons are starting to collect up; there have been at least one new cocoon spun every day so far
Larvae seem to have enjoyed feeding on tangerine fruit so far, eating whole slices of it; today we offered them some grapefruit as well though it may be too acidic (if it is a problem)
Quite a few cocoons now
The larvae seemed to do well on the citrus fruit though the peels were not so good and the juice created a lot of excess moisture that made the sanitation bad
None of the purple-leaf plum blossoms were eaten
Four more became prepupae today, one of which is 2.7g after having runny frass which isn't that bad; total of nine prepupae/cocoons now
Already over 30 supernumerary sixth instars, all of nice size; unfortunately, quality citrus leaves are harder to get than ever so pulling them through this extra instar is going to be difficult; we experimented around by giving them some tangerine peels and flesh which they readily ate, though we will likely only be able to do this once in awhile since they simply can't live off the stuff; we also offered them some purple-leaf plum (Prunus cerasifera 'Krauter Vesuvius') blossoms since they are supposed to accept Prunus, but so far none of them have eaten it, either because they are unwilling to switch hosts or they do not want to feed on blossoms
The two finished cocoons are now 1.6 and 1.8 g respectively which still isn't horribly small, especially if they are males, though still below average mass
The two unfinished cocoons are starting to look quite round rather than oval and both are using the bottom of the container as an attachment point rather than leaves
The first two prepupae have nearly finished spinning their cocoons; interestingly, now that the silk has begun to hardened, they appear just a slight bit tanner than the ones from last brood and are much smaller in volume, though when one was removed from the branch, it surprisingly weighed 2.0 g which is just under the average 2.1 g from the previous brood, though it will likely drop a a few decigrams by the time it actually pupates
Several small fifth instars molted into sixth instar and are much larger than normal sized fifth instars, being between 1-2 g while most normal fifth instars molted to around 1 g; the supernumerary sixth instar appearance looks almost identical to that of normal sized fifth instars which is expected, though they are greener with more saturated tubercle colors (a more mature look probably due to having slightly lower JH levels than that of a freshly molted normal sized fifth instar)
Despite their larger mass, the sixth instar head capsules are only slightly larger or the same size those of normal sized fifth instars (just over 4 mm in width); however, their shed fifth instar head capsule exuviae is significantly larger than the analogous normal sized fourth instar head capsule
Both prepupae are almost finished with their cocoons which are small and compact unlike those from previous broods
Another larva became a prepupa and dropped to a very small 2.1 g
The two prepupae have begun to spin silk; one of them had dropped to 2.4 g when weighed at night
New peak L5 larval mass for this brood at 4.3 g obtained by the individual measuring 5-6 cm in the photo
As expected, several small fifth instars entered apolysis for a supernumerary sixth instar; to clarify, these are not fourth instars mistaken for fifth instars, but rather, very small fifth instars due to the poor host plant quality that require an additional instar in order to complete larval development
Above are comparisons between a normal sized fifth instar and the very small fifth instars destined for sixth instars; surprisingly, their capsule sizes are quite similar in size, with the normal sized fifth instar's just over 4 mm and the small fifth instar's just under 4 mm; in terms of mass, however, the normal sized fifth instars are 3-4 g while the small fifth instars are only 1-2 g, which is actually very large compared to the mass of a full grown normal sized fourth instars that weigh 0.9-1.1 g; thus, despite being abnormally small initially, the small fifth instars should produce larger than normal adults since they will enter the sixth instar at a much larger size than a normal sized fifth instar
Botany Notes (2/25/17)
Because the seasonality of insects is ecologically linked with the seasonality of plants, we record prevernal plant growth to estimate when to expect certain insects and familiarize ourselves with useful Lepidoptera host plants.
Cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera) - more blossoms; leaf shoots are vigorous and have enlarged
Purple-leaf plum (Prunus cerasifera 'Krauter Vesuvius') - in full bloom; branches already densely covered in small leaves and will be in full leaf soon
Lilac (Syringa sp.) - buds continue to enlarge and become purple
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) - extremely vigorous new leaf growth after just two weeks since pruning to base; main use of this plant is to attract and host Papilio zelicaon
Willow (Salix sp.) - branches covered in small vigorous leaf shoots and catkins; these willows have historically been very extremely vigorous and quick growing so should be in full leaf soon despite breaking dormancy just this week; can be useful for various tree - feeding lepidoptera such as Smerinthus sp., Hyalophora cecropia, Papilio rutulus, etc.
Found a Monarch
2016 was one of the biggest monarch years we had witnessed in a long time - individuals of all stages were seen frequently in every month of the year despite that they should be absent during the spring and summer months. However, during the fall and winter months when they normally are supposed to be quite abundant here, there were actually very few. We found no eggs or larvae on our milkweed when we normally were able to find dozens in previous years.
Strangely, today which is already very late in the season, we found a single fifth instar wandering around our milkweed. We decided to let it be and live a natural life (or death) rather than take it in to rear since there is no risk of predation by paper wasps (Polistes dominula) at this time of year so it should be fine if its made it this far already, unless it has been parasitized by tachnids in which case nothing we can do can save it. It'll probably pupate in a few days anyway so no point rearing.
Indian Walking Stick on Common Ivy
While pruning our trees today, we were very surprised to find a fifth instar Indian walking stick (Carausius morosus) on Common ivy (Hedera helix). It was intermediate green and brown morph. Though our C. morosus stock was originally started from wild caught specimen six or seven years ago when we were able to find dozens of young walking sticks on Dahlias (Dahlia) every fall, the wild population has seemed to become quite sparse for the past several years as we only ever find a few each year now which is why this was a surprising find.
Another Anise Swallowtail Ecloses
Another male Anise Swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon) eclosed today and was released.
Found a Rough Stink Bug
We found a rough stink bug (Brochymena sp.) that has likely just broken diapause.
These rough stink bug adults show up on our trees every year around late winter and early spring. and we often find their pearly white egg clusters around this time too. We are not positive about the species identification of this individual except that it is in the Brochymena genus, probably either affinis or sulcata based on our region. The adults overwinter in tree bark and come out to lay eggs once the weather warms, so it is very likely that this individual has recently just broken diapause as it has been fairly warm this week. As we are not Hemiptera experts, we do not plan on rearing these.
Taking Cecropia Cocoons out of Cold Storage
We have taken our cecropia cocoons (Hyalophora cecropia) out of cold storage in order for them to break diapause.
We plan to rear of cecropia caterpillars starting in April this year, right when spring starts and when the trees are most vigorous. Thus, in order to time this event, we took our eight remaining live cocoons from last summers brood out to break diapause and eclose at the end of this month. We then expect that it will take about a week to get all the pairing and eggs, and another two weeks for the eggs to hatch, at which time spring will begin (March 21). Though spring rearing is definitely too early to be rearing Saturniids in most parts of the country (and this particular H, cecropia stock certainly would not be in flight until several months later in their native New York), here in northern California, the cold season is mild and short meaning it should be warm enough by this time. We plan to use apple (Malus) and plum (Prunus) again this year, and perhaps other host plants if they leaf up soon enough, as these worked quite well last year for the non-diseased portion of the brood. Recently we have been pruning back some of these trees in order to make them more vigorous in preparation for spring and rearing.
Update 2/11: we weighed all eight cocoons to make sure they are all alive and based on mass. they should be since most only lost a few decigrams. Also, the pupa in the 4.6 g cocoon moved around a lot when we weighed it.
Cocoon mass (g): 4.6, 4.9, 5.4, 5.6, 7.1, 7.5, 8.1, 8.2

Q: Convert databricks noteboooks.dbc into standard .py files I often get sent databricks notebooks from various sources to move around / look at / refactor. Due to different tenancies I can't log into the actual environment. These are usually sent as .dbc files and I can convert them by opening up a new databricks enviroment are re-saving them as a .py file. I was wondering if there was a method where I could do this from command line, like nb-convert for Juypter ?
it's a little bit of a pain to import a whole host of files, then re-convert to python just for the sake of reading code.
Source control is not always an option due to permissions.

A: Import the .dbc in your Databricks workspace, for example in the Shared directory.
Then, as suggested by Carlos, install the Databricks CLI on your local computer and set it up.
pip install databricks-cli
databricks configure --token

and run the following to import the .py notebooks into your local folder
mkdir export_notebooks
cd export_notebooks
databricks workspace export_dir /Shared ./
