Nissan helps set a new World Record!
The world's strongest man, Zydrunas Savickas, set a new Guinness world record for the "Most Cars Pulled By One Man" when he towed 12 new Nissan Notes weighing in at a total 28,530 pounds (12,941 kg).
Savickas, five-times World Strongest Man champion and widely regarded as the one of the greatest strongmen of all time, only had one attempt to set the new record. Wearing a specialized pulling harness and rope arrangement, he pulled the 12 Nissan Notes over five meters, accomplishing the feat in a staggering 32.9 seconds.
Held in Druskininkai, Lithuania, this world record attempt marked the end of the Lithuanian Car of the Year test camp with crowds turning out from all over the country to see their national hero Savickis set the new record.
Savickas was presented with an official certificate from Guinness World Records representative Jack Brockbank, marking this major achievement from the strongman.
The large crowd not only got to witness the record setting moment but also got the opportunity to admire the all-new European market Nissan Note. Launched earlier this year and built at Nissan's Sunderland plant in the UK, the new Note sets new standards for sector-first technology, practicality, design and value for money. Engineered to meet the unique demands of the European market, the new Note's Pure Drive 1.2-liter gasoline engine with manual transmission gives drivers improved CO2 emissions, increased torque and great fuel efficiency, but not even this supercharged engine would be a match for the world's strongest man in this challenge!
"We at Nissan like setting records and are always aiming high. Today we are delighted to have been able to help Zydrunas set another world record and to see so many people turn out to support him. It was a great way to mark the end of the Lithuanian COTY camp," said Taina Erkkilä, Communication Director of Nissan Nordic Europe.
On the completion of the record attempt, Savickas commented: "It is always great to set a new record. Once I got into my stride pulling the 12 Nissan Notes was fine. Obviously, a big thank you to Nissan for helping me set the record and making it all possible."
The world record-breaking attempt is the second time this year that Nissan has entered the record books. In August, Nissan helped the Electric Vehicle Union and the Norwegian EV Association set a new Guinness World Record when 260½ electric vehicles were driven in unison, the majority of which were Nissan LEAFs, including the Nissan Half LEAF.

Nissan shatters the world record for "Heaviest Aircraft Pulled by a Production Vehicle"!
Nissan shatters the world record for "Heaviest Aircraft Pulled by a Production Vehicle"!
The Nissan Patrol has set a Guinness World Record for "Heaviest aircraft pulled by any production vehicle," after towing 170.9 tons at the Sharjah International Airport in the United Arab Emirates. An unmodified production Patrol hauled the cargo plane over 160 feet, shattering the previous record of 15 tons.
The record attempt was part of the "Nissan Patrol Challenge," which was launched last year to show off what its iconic SUV could do. Fans were invited to design an innovative test for the Patrol while giving themselves a chance to win a trip to Japan along with other great prizes. The result of the competition was the tow attempt, which saw an Ilyushin Il-76 cargo pulled by the Patrol.
Though the Toyota Tundra wasn't part of the same record that Nissan just set, the Endeavour space shuttle is about 21 tons lighter than this plane.

Expressive mark making and composition are the guiding principles of this afternoon workshop. The first two hours are spent generating an original collection of collage papers emphasizing graphic and calligraphic marks made with ink, paint, stencils, rubbings, mono-print techniques and drawing tools. We experiment with various weights of paper to create a variety of effects. We, also, will work with the balance between simplicity and complexity, keeping our final compositions in mind.
The second half of the workshop emphasizes layout and design as students combine their individually marked and painted papers into personally meaningful compositions.
Cost for the one day workshop is $95 for CAM members and $105 for non-members. Class size: min. 7/max. 16. Registration ends July 10, 2017. For online registration visit www.coosart.org or contact the Art Education Dept. at (541) 267-3901.


CeMAP training in London: For those thinking about taking their CeMAP training in London, they have the greatest choice of CeMAP training providers as well as some of the highest house prices in the UK despite the current economic climate.
In London, there are plenty of opportunities for mortgage advisors at banks, building societies, financial advice firms and working on a self employed basis. Many companies look regularly for newly CeMAP qualified applicants with good work ethics and are usually impressed by those who took the initiative to get themselves through CeMAP training.
Despite the fact that those searching for CeMAP training courses in London have the greatest choice, this does not always make the task of choose a CeMAP training provider any easier because there are a lot of CeMAP training providers who know there are plenty searching and do not make enough effort to keep their training materials up to date. Beacon Financial Training prides itself on updating its CeMAP training materials each time the FSA release an update to the syllabus and on producing CeMAP qualified delegates who know the material and don't just get through the exam.
Prices for CeMAP training in London tend to be higher because hiring or running training venues costs more too. It has been known for delegates to attend CeMAP training courses elsewhere so they can get out of the city and pay less for the CeMAP training!
Taking CeMAP training in London or anywhere else is a big decision, so take your time and if you want to ask any questions we are only too happy to help.

I've been exploring Cairo and just visited Alexandria, and I have a lot to write, but I'm still trying to sort out what to say. Alexandria in particular was a very mixed bag. I have also been taking a lot of pictures, so hopefully I can soon satisfy curiosity as to what exactly Egypt looks like. I think it's beautiful. More later.


To leave someone alone with their emotions, usually unpleasant ones like guilt, anger, or anxiety, without offering them comfort or closure on the matter. Kevin was in such a foul mood at dinner that I left early and just let him stew in his own juice. After the kids broke the window, I let them stew in their own juices for a while before laying into them about it. I can tell that the boss is upset with how my report turned out, but I think he's just letting me stew in my own juices about it before he brings it up.
If you let someone stew in their own juice or let them stew, you deliberately leave them to worry about something they have done and do nothing to comfort or help them. The coach refused to put an arm round the 23-year-old afterwards — choosing, instead, to let Taylor stew in his own juice. Leave her alone — let her stew. Give her time to reflect on how stupid she's been. Note: You can also say that you leave someone to stew. I thought I'd leave him to stew for a while.

For example, it's often said that the best light for photographing wildflowers is under overcast skies (I've even said it myself here on PN!). And, for a long time, I would only photograph wildflowers under overcast skies (or with some kind of light diffuser). But, then I started seeing all these great images of wildflowers under bright sunlight. I really liked how the bright sunlight helped "light up" the inside of the flower, so I started looking at wildflowers differently ever since then, and now I have numerous photos of wildflowers under bright sunlight (like the one above).
Another common rule of nature photography is that "good light" for landscapes only occurs around sunrise or sunset (because the light is extremely warm at that time). But, did you know that Ansel Adams shot many of his landscapes in the middle of the day? The bright midday sun may not always produce the kind of light you're looking for, but it's great for capturing harsh shadows between mountain ridges.
So, don't get caught in the trap of thinking that a certain type of light is always bad for a particular subject. Instead, observe how different types of light affect the appearance of things, and use that to your advantage.
Although I often prefer diffuse light for flower photography, I always enjoy shooting flowers backlit on sunny days, especially California Poppies like you have in your example.
One of our greatest blessings is also one of our greatest curses. We read photo mags and blogs to get all the best advice about learning the photography craft. The information is great, to a point; because it is too easy to make the assumption that there are right ways and wrong ways to take any type of picture. Authors are entitled to their opinions and we need to be receptive to the great advice that is given but we all must make sure that our creativity is not lost in the "rules".
Bravo! There is no such thing as "bad" light. I am so tired of the premise that landscape shots should only be taken at sunrise or sunset! They've become static and boring, never seeing things in the light of day. I love seeing blue skies and clouds in photos (or dark clouds, etc.) – that's the way nature is most of the time. Why can't we just show nature as she is?
I love photographing at the "magic hour." You can capture scenes then like you can't at any other time. Having said that, I found out that you can probably take great pictures at any time of the day, under any conditions with some imagination, understanding, and patience.
I live in the Tucson area. Right after church one Sunday afternoon, I noticed a Saguaro Cactus in an entirely different light compared to the magic hour. There were details in the textures shown that I'd missed before. Fortunately I caught it when the sky was a dramatic blue, which was also an improvement.
Now I prefer to keep the camera with me all the time, with my eyes open for some suprise I might not have thought of before.
Those of us who don't get to make our living with photography have to take the light as it comes when we find the time to get out there. I personally look at that as opportunities to figure out how to use whatever light may or may not be available to me. My favorite subjects are wildlife & nature and yes, I like to take get out there either during the early or final daylight hours of the day to catch that soft light. I've also had some of my photography friends tell me that they don't like that brilliant blue sky in their shots because it's boring and ominous dark clouds make for more interesting pictures. All of those statements are true, just not all of the time. There is a time and a subject for all sorts of conditions. So guess what, one of my favorite shots was taken mid-day during a work week on a Fall day with brilliant blue sky, not a cloud in sight. My subject? A very tall, bright red crane near a historical building. That day I took a picture of something I normally would not, during a time I'm usually working and according to the rules regarding light I should not have even had my camera with me.
Really nice to hear that admission Steve! I am relatively new to photography, though I have been working in commercial printing for almost 30 years. I learned about photography on a 16 foot line camera and tray developing line shots and halftones. While reading hundreds of blog posts and the advice of others I have always in the back of my mind kept the thought that I simply love the way stronger shadows and brighter colors from more intense sun contrast each other. There's no doubt that each different type of lighting offers our own little 'screen captures' of what beauty we behold at that moment in time. After all, that is why we take photos, isn't it? To grab that moment of light and time that struck a chord in our heart strings. Sometimes that moment is an a dazzling blast of mid-day sun emblazoning colors that lift our spirits and as we grow in our experience as photographers we learn to 'embed' those colors a little more accurately with each new shutter actuation!

Jessica Pressler to stay at NY Mag
Jessica Pressler, the reporter who was "duped" by a high school senior who claimed to have made $72 million trading stocks, will stay at New York Magazine despite a report that she would be joining the Bloomberg News investigative unit.
"Can't say that we expected things to turn out this way, but we feel very lucky to be keeping her on, and look forward to publishing more of her with pride," New York editor-in-chief Adam Moss wrote in a memo to staff on Friday.
Pressler's article stated that Mohammed Islam, a student at Stuyvesant High School, was rumored to have made $72 million trading stocks and "confirmed his net worth is in the 'high eight figures.'" New York's editors said Tuesday that "the magazine sent a fact-checker to Stuyvesant, where Islam produced a document that appeared to be a Chase bank statement attesting to an eight-figure bank account."
On Monday, Islam told The New York Observer that he had made the story up. A source "close to the Islam family" also told The Washington Post that Islam's statements were false. Bloomberg had declined to comment on Pressler's article at the time.
In his memo, Moss praised Pressler's work: "Over the years, Jessica has done extraordinary work for this magazine. (Consider 'Let's, Like, Demolish Laundry' and 'The War Over Airbnb Gets Personal,' for instance — two of the more incisive and gorgeously written magazine stories we, or anyone else, published this year)," he wrote.

Go here to read the introduction to this series.
Today was a slow, lazy day. We devoured brunch and then drove to the Little Colorado River, where we relaxed for about three hours. I walked Bella, our Doberman, down the middle of the river. She was not happy and kept lunging for the banks. It was pretty entertaining; I was cracking up. Poor doggy!
Later when we returned to camp, I chatted with Meredith, my younger sister, a little bit. I usually have technological distractions when I am with my sisters. I realized how good it felt to just chat distraction-free. I should really do it more often.
I want to be more targeted with my tech use. While camping, I have still had access to downloaded music and sermons. However, when I use technology up here, I only listen to one thing at a time without doing anything else. At home I often web surf, check the same website way too many times in one day, or listen to clean-but not uplifting-music. And I often do all these things simultaneously. At home, I have two and a half hours where the internet on my computer is open to social media. I should cut the nightly two hours to just one hour so my evenings are more productive.
I want to spend more of my free time reading. If you choose your books carefully, you will always be able to gain insight from reading. I have so many books I want to read, and I need to dedicate more of my free time to accomplishing my reading goals. On this trip, I have read about 237 pages total because I have been focused.
I want to spend more time with God. Without internet, I almost always spend more time with God. I have read my Bible every day this trip, which does not always happen at home.
All in all, I think it is possible to execute a technology-minimal life with self-discipline and written guidelines. Our minds do not function well when they are constantly bombarded by technological distractions. This camping trip has made me realize the importance of minimizing unnecessary technology usage. After all, there is a full, amazing, breathtaking life to be lived outside of internet and technology!

The annual awards are the foremost means for Jacobs School medical students to honor their professors, instructors and teaching assistants.
This year's awardees are from nine departments: biochemistry, medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, otolaryngology, pathology and anatomical sciences, pediatrics, psychiatry, surgery and urology.
This year's awards were announced virtually through a series of newsletters and a special video message.
Teaching in the Preclinical Program
Lisa Jane Jacobsen, MD, clinical associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology
Student nominators said they wanted to "honor a physician who has been admired by many as an enthusiastic educator who truly cares about her students' well-being — mentally and physically."
Several students noted that she is "never limited by the status quo," "she clearly wants to pass on her passion of medical education to others," and she has "an enthusiasm for the work that she does that is so contagious."
This year, more than ever before, Dr. Jacobsen has had to break the status quo and take on the task of remodeling the reproductive module to an online learning experience.
One student stated that "she stepped up and got us excited about the module; she reminded us that we can be invested in something else in the era of COVID."
Colin W. Moore, PhD, instructor of pathology and anatomical sciences
He was described by a nominee to be the "pentathlete of teachers," as he "manages to be good at explaining everything no matter what subject" in a "clear, concise presentation."
One student wrote that Dr. Moore produced "some of the best organized, straight forward, and helpful lectures."
To complement his academic abilities, he is described by multiple nominees as being "encouraging, kind-hearted, dedicated, respectful, motivating, patient and approachable."
Teaching in the Clinical Program
Abigail S. Green, PhD
Abigail S. Green, MD, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry
Dr. Green was described by one student as "one of the best attendings I have had the pleasure of working with."
"She is a hands-on teacher who takes hours out of her day to work with students and ensure they understand the proper management of patients," wrote another.
Students said she is warm and empathetic, and the lessons that can be learned from watching her will last students a lifetime, no matter what specialty they practice.
Volunteer Teaching
William Boggiano, MD, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry
Dr. Boggiano is described as in a "tier of his own" who gives patients "hope and desire to improve their lives" and works collaboratively with all members of the team.
A student nominator said he prioritizes the student experience by "engaging in discussion, making students feel appreciated, providing meaningful feedback, and giving daily lectures."
Another student wrote "I was excited to go to the Erie County Medical Center every day to learn from him."
Resident Teaching
Babitha Haridas, MD, child neurology residency program
Throughout her several nominations there were comments of her warm nature and superior teaching:
"She is truly the most impressive resident teacher I've had in medical school."
"Her enthusiasm and warmth toward everyone, whether it be other residents, medical students, attendings, or patients and their families, is unmatched."
"I am in awe of how much sheer knowledge she has, how she is able to effectively teach students, and yet be so clinically strong with great bedside manner."
"She is the kind of person I strive to emulate and the kind of resident I am going to work toward becoming when it is my turn to teach medical students."
Kevin Hittle, curriculum coordinator
The inaugural winner in the Jacobs School staff category, nominators said Hittle is the backbone of second-year examinations, small groups, recordings and Zoom meetings.
He even maxed out the number of Zoom meetings that one user could host, just to make sure the Class of 2022 could complete the final module before the dedicated study period began, they noted.
"Something as seemingly simple as an email response within 5 minutes at 10:30 p.m. does not go unnoticed, and it makes us students feel supported and cared for," one nominator wrote.
Richa Gupta, fourth-year medical student
One fellow student wrote: "Since having had her as a teaching assistant (TA) in neurology, her teaching and guidance has become the standard by which myself and many of my other classmates have expected of every single TA."
Another student said, "She was very kind, pleasant to talk to and easy to approach. She made small group sessions very beneficial for me and the rest of the people in the class."
Christopher S. Cohan, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of pathology and anatomical sciences

About the Siegel Awards
Louis A. Siegel received his medical degree from UB in 1923 and served as an assistant professor of obstetrics-gynecology for 21 years. He was a dedicated clinical teacher who inspired both medical students and house officers with enthusiasm and the spirit of inquiry.
Considerations for the Siegel Awards include nominees' instructional skill, ability to stimulate thinking and develop understanding in students, demonstration of sensitivity toward the human condition and ability to serve as a role model for students.
A student committee comprised of representatives from each medical class reviews nominations from students and selects awardees.

These Baltimore middle school girls spent the week working on new ventures
Spark Baltimore was one of the stops on a seven-city tour for Envision Lead Grow. Founder Angela Reddix created the program to inspire entrepreneurship.

Envision Lead Grow participants work on their ventures at Spark Baltimore.
Abisola Abina is passionate about spreading education.
"I think that every child should have an opportunity to get an education," she said.
This week, the 12-year-old who attends KIPP Ujima Village Academy is learning how to turn that passion into a nonprofit. After four days developing an idea and hearing from entrepreneurs at Spark Baltimore, she was set to pitch the nonprofit at Morgan State on Friday.
It's called DEAR, which stands for Drop Everything and Read.
She's one of a group of middle school girls who took part in Envision Lead Grow. The city-focused program, created by Angela Reddix, is designed to introduce girls in cities to entrepreneurship.
"I believe entrepreneurship is an intervention to decrease poverty in a community, increase high school graduation rates, decrease teen pregnancy rates," said Reddix, who is CEO of ARDX, a healthcare and tech consulting company based in Norfolk, Va.
The program is in seven cities this summer, with Baltimore being the fourth stop. In all, about 500 girls heading into grades 5-9 will participate.
They pitch to begin the week, work to develop their mentors, and hear from entrepreneurs and leaders. Tiffany Robinson, who is Deputy Chief of Staff to Gov. Larry Hogan, spoke to the group on Thursday.

Along with encouraging girls to tap into their passion, the program is also encouraging the girls to develop relationships.
That involves keeping connection points following the week. They're matched with a mentor at the camp to follow up throughout the year, and connect again through webinars with girls from the seven cities each month. Reddix is also organizing an event in D.C. later this year to bring girls together.
"The girls will continue to pitch their ideas, continue to fine-tune their ideas and use their peer group as almost a beta of their concept," she said.

Five Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers and distributors are staging a flying show of six cities throughout Florida after the Sebring LSA Expo. We wanted to create an intimate atmosphere for purchasers to see planes without the noise of a show, said Bill Canino of Sportair USA, one of the participants. Buyers like to get up close and personal with the planes, and the people behind the planes, added Jim Julius of SportPlanes Florida.
Participants on the tour include American Legend Aircraft, Flight Design South East, RANS Aircraft, Sportair USA and SportplanesFlorida.com. Aircraft include the Legend Cub, CTLS, Sting, Jabiru, Sirius and others.
Each stop is being sponsored by EAA or a local flight school. Start time each day is 10 a.m., wrapping up at 3 p.m. Call each venue for more information.
Amazing planes! If only I could afford one! It's free do dream, so I still might drop by the exhibit.

Some of us were involved in a second Pentecost celebration, this time at Christ Church CE Primary School in Fenton. Elizabeth Drakard, Harshpreet Kaur, Dylan Pearce, and Sanjidah Sultana Tanni went back to their former primary school to help me lead the Pentecost assembly. They performed a poem together and then, later on in the assembly, helped to bring alive the Bible account of the first Pentecost by throwing paper flames over all the classes assembled in the hall.
A huge "well done" to all students involved; they were an absolute credit both to Christ Church Primary School and St Peter's Academy.

Mental disorder, imprisonment and reduced life expectancy - A nationwide psychiatric inpatient cohort study.
Steingrimsson, Steinn
Sigurdsson, Martin I
Gudmundsdottir, Hafdis
Aspelund, Thor
Magnusson, Andres
Crim Behav Ment Health. 2016 Feb;26(1):6-17
There is a strong correlation between severe mental illness and criminality, but little is known about how these two problem areas together may affect health outcomes.
The objective of this paper is to compare survival rates of male psychiatric inpatients over a 25-year period who have and have not been subject to imprisonment, allowing for nature of psychiatric morbidity.
A nationwide cohort of men who had ever been psychiatric inpatients was identified from Icelandic data-registers, and their diagnoses after first discharge, cumulative incidence of imprisonment, and mortality established from records. Using a nested case-control design, survival differences were determined between those ever imprisoned and those never imprisoned.
Between January 1983 and March 2008, 7665 men were admitted to psychiatric wards in Iceland, of whom 812 (10.6%) had served a prison sentence during that time. Cumulative incidence of imprisonment was highest in the youngest age group (21%). Substance use and personality disorders were more common amongst those imprisoned. All-cause mortality, adjusted for diagnosis, age, and year of admission, was twice as high amongst those imprisoned as those not imprisoned (Hazard ratio = 2.0, 95% CI 1.5-2.6, p < 0.001).
Our findings indicate that psychiatric inpatients with criminal records should receive special attention with respect to all aspects of their health, not only within psychiatric services but also through more collaboration between the healthcare and judicial systems.

You've heard of Bill McKibben and the incredible global climate movement he started, 350.org, right? His book Oil and Honey details how he became an activist and what it takes (incredible energy, ideas, speaking and writing ability, and almost no time at home relaxing with family or friends).
We have five times as much oil, gas, and coal reserves as any scientist thinks is safe to burn.
The value of ExxonMobil and other oil companies is in their reserves, estimated at $28 trillion dollars. Wow. That's a lot of mullah to kiss good bye.
You can see the rub, right? If renewable energy isn't as profitable, there is no real incentive for oil companies to change their product and become renewable energy companies. Bill McKibben writes about this conundrum in detail in his 2012 Rolling Stones article Global Warming's Terrifying New Math.

TV ghost hunter to go on paranormal tour of Dagenham's oldest house
A TV ghost hunter will host a paranormal tour on Friday night in an attempt to uncover evidence of spirits supposedly haunting the oldest house in Dagenham.
Ian Shillito, of TV show Most Haunted, will search the grounds of Valence House, which is said to be inhabited by 14th century murder victim Agnes de Valence and Victorian widow Eliza Luxmore.
Eliza, apparently a tiny elderly lady dressed in black, is said to have been sighted regularly since her death at the house in Becontree Avenue in 1913.
According to council records, Agnes de Valence died at Valence House in 1309 - though the oldest surviving parts of the building date back to the 1400s.
She was reportedly murdered on the lawns of the property and the dagger used to kill her dumped in the nearby moat in Valence Park.
The tour takes place on Friday (May 18) between 7pm and 9pm. Participants must be 18 or above. Tickets cost �15 and must be booked in advance. For more information, call 020 8227 2034.

ABSTRACT. In the Bureinskii State Nature Reserve and in adjacent territories 45 species of the Cerambycidae family from 31 genera of 14 tribes of 5 subfamilies were registered. 22 species are listed for the first time for the fauna of the study area: Rhagium inquisitor (Linnaeus, 1758), Rh. heyrovskyi Podany, 1964, Pachyta lamed (Linnaeus, 1758), Evodinellus borealis (Gyllenhal, 1827), Brachyta variabilis (Gebler, 1817), B. sachalinensis Matsumura, 1911, Nivellia extensa (Gebler, 1833), Anastrangalia renardi (Gebler, 1848), Leptura duodecimguttata Fabricius, 1801, Tetropium gracilicorne Reitter, 1889, Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann, 1835), Semanotus undatus (Linnaeus, 1758), Callidium chlorizans (Solsky, 1871), C. violaceum (Linnaeus, 1758), Xylotrechus altaicus (Gebler, 1836), Clytus arietoides Reitter, 1899, Mesosa myops (Dalman, 1817), Monochamus impluviatus Motschulsky, 1859, Lamia textor (Linnaeus, 1758), Pogonocherus fasciculatus (DeGeer, 1775), Acanthocinus carinulatus (Gebler, 1833), Saperda interrupta Gebler, 1825; 13 genera: Rhagium Fabricius, 1775, Pachyta Dejean, 1821, Evodinellus Plavilstshikov, 1915, Tetropium Kirby, 1837, Trichoferus Wollaston, 1854, Semanotus Mulsant, 1839, Callidium Fabricius, 1775, Xylotrechus Chevrolat, 1860, Clytus Laicharting, 1784, Mesosa Latreille, 1829, Lamia Fabricius, 1775, Pogonocherus Mulsant, 1821, Acanthocinus Dejean, 1821; 7 tribes: Tetropiini Seidlitz, 1891, Hesperophanini Mulsant, 1839, Callidiini Kirby, 1837, Mesosini Mulsant, 1839, Lamiini Latreille, 1825, Pogonocherini Mulsant, 1839, Acanthocinini Blanchard, 1845. The most diverse are Lepturinae (24 species), followed by Lamiinae (10), Cerambycinae (7), Spondylidinae (3) and Necydalinae (1). The species with a Transpalearctic range are predominant — 25 (55,6 %). The eastern Palearctic type of range includes 11 species (24,4 %), to the East Asian species — 5 species (11,1 %), to the Holarctic type — 4 species (8,9 %). Most of the beetles of the reserve are trophically associated with the dominant here coniferous woody vegetation — 24 species (53,3 %). Are able to populate both coniferous and deciduous woody plants — 9 species (20 %). Only deciduous trees and shrubs inhabit 8 species (17,8 %), of which Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann, 1835) is able to develop also on grassy (аstragalus). One species (2,2 %) is associated exclusively with herbaceous plants — Brachyta interrogationis (Linnaeus, 1758).

In 1996, I was in my mid-20s and working in an office in downtown Washington, DC. My assistant was recently married to a Greek man and she described her wedding in Greece. In my mind, it looked like a scene straight out of the movie Mamma Mia!
I also remember that was the moment I began to dream about living and working overseas, preferably in a picture-perfect Mediterranean setting! Hey, as long as I was dreaming, I might as well choose what I wanted!
My dream could have easily been filed away in a filing cabinet right there.
As fate would have it, my non-profit organization's government contract was re-bid and my whole office was scheduled to shut down within the year. So, I asked myself the question, do I continue doing similar work somewhere else in Washington, DC or do I pursue the dream?
The safety plan vs. the magic carpet ride.
I put some feelers out there to organizations like mine that were hiring people like me, but the work didn't excite me, not compared to The Dream. I started to think more seriously about how to make the dream happen – how to get a legitimate job in a foreign country and move there.
When I was served my pink slip and finally let go from my organization, I had already registered for an intense 4-week certification to teach English as a Foreign Language class to begin a week after my last day at the office.
I lived and worked in Turkey for two years and it was one of the best experiences of my life! Imagine though what would have happened if I'd never given myself permission to dream and really entertain all the possibilities the dream held?
I ask you, what would happen if you lean into the dream and think about all that it holds?
•	It was do-able, not impossible!
I dreamed, I survived and I thrived. I have memories of a lifetime and tapped into courage I never even knew I had! I knew zero about Turkey before I moved there, and I still love the country and culture so much! I would never have known any of this if I'd ignored my dream and opted for the safety plan.
1.	Give yourself permission to dream.
2.	Entertain ALL of the possibilities.
3.	See where those possibilities take you without judging them. Tune out that inner-critic (or real critics) who call your dream any of the following: CRAZY, STUPID, ILL-ADVISED, IMPOSSIBLE, IMPRACTICAL or fill-in-the-blank with your own negative word.
4.	Don't worry what other people will think. They might, or might not, say some of the things mentioned in #3. They might also wish they had the courage to do the same.
As Blondie says, dreaming is free. Start there and see where it takes you.

Showing a growing frustration with the the Obama administration, congressional Republicans on Thursday authorized their second subpoena this week, demanding White House documents related to failed solar technology company Solyndra.
By a 14-9 party-line vote the Energy and Commerce Committee's investigative subcommittee authorized issuing a subpoena for any White House documents related to Solyndra, which received renewable energy loan guarantees under President Obama's stimulus program. The request for documents could include details of the president's own travel and communications.
"We simply cannot allow the executive branch at its highest levels to pick and choose what they will produce, or whether they will produce anything at all," said Rep. Cliff Stearns, the Florida Republican who runs the investigative panel.
Thursday's subpoena came just a day after the Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee voted along party lines to authorize a subpoena for Homeland Security records related to illegal immigrants the department has declined to pursue deportation cases against.
Together they mark an escalation as Republicans have become increasingly aggressive in pushing back against what they see as administration stonewalling of oversight by the new GOP majority in the House.
In each case, the vote only authorizes a subpoena. It's up to the chairmen of the full committees to actually issue them.
Democrats said both votes were premature. They pointed to ongoing discussions between Homeland Security and the Judiciary Committee on the one hand, and between the White House and the Energy and Commerce Committee on the other, as evidence the administration is acting in good faith.
"The White House repeatedly said they had turned over documents and they were willing to turn over more documents," said Rep. Diana DeGette, the ranking Democrat on the investigations panel.
She also said the administration has already turned over tens of thousands of documents.
Each side now argues the other is acting in bad faith.
Republicans point to a lengthy effort to get documents, and said it is only when the committee begins to threaten subpoenas that things shake loose.
Rep. Fred Upton, Michigan Republican and chairman of the full committee, said several new boxes of documents were released to the press Wednesday night even before they were turned over to the committee. Those documents reportedly show the Obama administration mulled bailing Solyndra out just days before the solar panel manufacturer collapsed.
"Apparently what the committee really wants is a confrontation with the president," said Rep. Henry A. Waxman, the top Democrat on the full Energy and Commerce Committee.


Sharp SF-8305 toner cartridges and supplies. Guaranteed quality, discount-pricing, and same-day shipping!
Genuine OEM Sharp Toner Cartridge, Black, 6,000 page yield. Sharp part number: SF-830NT1, SF-830MT1, SF830NT1, SF830MT1. Laser Toner Cartridge compatible with Sharp SF-8305.
The Sharp SF-8305 isn't designed to handle all of the office tasks, but its excellent copy features make it an excellent laser copier for a small office. It can output up to 21 pages per minute, and is quick to respond with a first page out time of just 6.5 seconds. Sharp SF-8305 printer toner is affordable as well, and upgrades are available for further customization.
With dimensions of only 19x27x24 inches, the SF-8305 is perfect for smaller spaces. Weighing a little less than 170 pounds, however, users shouldn't expect to easily move it around the office. It will certainly require a solid table or desk surface. The basic configuration includes a flatbed platen for copying, but a 50-sheet automatic document feeder is available as an optional upgrade.
The control panel is simple, but very functional. Instead of a large touchscreen LCD, users get a smaller display and a larger array of dedicated buttons, which is preferred by some buyers. Up to 99 copies can be made from an original document, and the machine supports media up to 11x17 inches in size. With a 500-sheet main drawer and a secondary 250-sheet drawer, there is plenty of room for multiple types of media as well.
Replacing Sharp SF-8305 toner cartridges involves a few quirks, but users won't have to replace toners too often. The Sharp SF-8305 toner cartridge is rated for up to 6,000 pages, which could last a very long time in a low-volume small office environment.
The SF-8305 might seem a strange choice when more robust multifunction machines are available with printing, scanning, and faxing capabilities. However, it's affordable Sharp SF-8305 toner, solid output speeds, and simple operation may win over buyers who prefer to keep their tasks relegated to individual devices.

Q: set index to Date column residing in level 3 multiindex dataframe For a dataframe which looks like this:

I want to simply set the index to be the Date column which you see as first column.
The dataframe comes from an api where i save the data into csv:
data.to_csv('stocks.csv', header=True ,sep=',',mode='a')
data = pd.read_csv('stocks.csv',header=[0,1,2])
data

Preferably i would also like to get rid of the "Unnamed:.." labels you see in the picture.
Thanks.

A: I solved it by specifying header=[0,1] ,index_col=0 in the read_csv function and after convert dataframe to numeric since the datatype got distorted but not necessary always i believe:
data = pd.read_csv('stocks.csv', header=[0,1] ,index_col=0)
data = data.apply(pd.to_numeric, errors='coerce')
# eventually:
data = data.dropna()

In this fashion I get exactly what I want, namely write e.g.
data['AGN.AS']['High']

and get the high values for a specific stock.

Proper care of clothing and other protective items worn during the application of pesticides helps protect the user and prevents pesticide residues from spreading to areas where people live and work. The following guidelines apply to farmers and commercial pesticide applicators, as well as to home gardeners who apply common, general-use products, such as Roundup and Sevin, to their lawns, flowers and vegetables.
Although the pesticide label should be used as a guideline for laundering contaminated clothing, most labels do not contain specific instructions. This publication should be regarded as a supplement to the information provided on pesticide labels or the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available from chemical dealers.
Do not attempt to launder clothing that has become saturated with undiluted pesticides. Saturated, contaminated clothing should be removed immediately, and the wearer should shower as soon as possible. The contaminated clothing must be secured and held for a household hazardous waste collection or be discarded in accordance with local laws and regulations. Place the clothing in an airtight, metal container, and label the container with contents and date. Do not store the container inside the house. Instead, place it in a pesticide storage facility or other location away from sources of heat, spark, flame or ignition. Contact your local MU Extension center to find out about collection programs in your area.
Pesticide-contaminated clothing may pose a risk to family members in addition to the person wearing the clothing. Pesticide-contaminated clothing to be laundered should be kept separate from family laundry in a disposable plastic bag. The person doing the laundry must understand that the clothing is contaminated with pesticide and requires special handling.
Wear clean clothes when working around pesticides. It is more difficult to remove pesticide from clothes that are already dirty than from clean clothes.
Wear protective aprons and other protective equipment listed on the label during mixing and loading of pesticides to protect against accidental spills and contamination from undiluted materials. The pesticide label will provide information about the proper personal protective equipment to wear while making applications. Use disposable protective clothing when possible. See MU Extension publication G1917, Personal Protective Equipment for Working With Pesticides.
At the completion of the job, wash the outside of your gloves with detergent and water before removing them.
Wash clothing as soon as possible after use. Delay will reduce the likelihood that all the residue will be removed.
Wear unlined chemical-resistant gloves to handle pesticide-soiled clothes. Wash the gloves thoroughly, as if washing your hands, before removing them. Do not use the gloves for other household tasks.
Prerinse other garments in a pail of hot water, hose them off outdoors, or agitate them in an automatic washer. Dispose of the prerinse water where it won't endanger people, animals, water sources or the environment.
Pockets and cuffs on garments worn during application of granular pesticides should be emptied outdoors to remove trapped granules before the clothing is stored to be washed. Note that even small quantities of pesticides should be emptied only onto sites that are listed on the pesticide label as approved.
Keep clothes worn for pesticide application separate from other laundry — before and during washing — to avoid transfer of residues. Store contaminated clothing in a disposable plastic bag, or hang it in a separate storage area until it can be laundered. Never put contaminated work clothes in a cloth bag or a laundry basket.
Remember that socks and undergarments may also be contaminated and should be given the same special handling as other contaminated clothing.
Open the washer door before handling the pesticide-contaminated clothing to avoid contaminating the outside of the washer.
Do not overload the washer. Wash only a few items at a time. Wash garments contaminated by the same pesticide(s) together.
Use a hot-water wash — the hotter the better (140 to 160 degrees F). Fill to highest water level even with small loads.
Use the right detergent. Follow the directions on the pesticide label or use either a heavy-duty liquid detergent for liquid pesticide or a powdered phosphate detergent for granular or powdery pesticides. Heavy-duty liquid detergents are more effective than other detergents in removing emulsifiable concentrate pesticide formulations. Use the amount recommended by the manufacturer for heavily soiled loads or increase the normal amount by 1-1/2 to 2 times.
Bleach and ammonia do not contribute to removing pesticide residues. Either of these additives may be used for other reasons, if desired, but with caution. Do not mix ammonia and bleach. Bleach should never be added to or mixed with ammonia because together they react to form chlorine, a potentially lethal gas.
Starch may help prevent pesticides from reaching the skin through cotton or cotton-blend fabrics. Starch must be reapplied after each wash.
Fabric softeners neither help nor hinder residue removal from cotton fabrics.
Solvent-based aerosol prewash sprays help remove oil-based pesticide formulations in cottons. The label on the prewash spray should say that the contents include petroleum solvents.
Salt helps remove paraquat but not other pesticides. Add one cup of table salt to the wash load with regular detergent. Salt also helps remove excess detergent from the washer.
Soil- and water-repellent finishes help cotton fabric resist penetration from pesticide sprays. However, these finishes make fabrics more difficult to launder and must be renewed after every second or third wash.
Use the longest wash time cycle on your machine, at least 10 to 12 minutes. Never use the suds-saver cycle or a cycle designed for knits when washing contaminated clothing. Rinse twice. Clothing contaminated with highly toxic pesticides needs multiple washings. Check the pesticide label for toxicity level. Remember to discard clothing contaminated by undiluted pesticides.
Hang clothes to line dry in the sun for at least 24 hours, when possible. This prevents contaminating the dryer if the pesticide has not been completely removed in the wash.
Before doing other laundry, run the empty washer through a complete normal or regular cycle using hot water, full or normal water level, and detergent — but no clothes — to rinse pesticide residues out of the machine.
This publication revises and replaces MU Extension publication GH140, Laundering Pesticide Contaminated Clothing.

Manager, Corporate Water Stewardship
Media inquiries: News And Press Page
With Lindsay at the helm, WWF's Corporate Water Stewardship initiative is leveraging private sector partnerships to conserve water resources and freshwater ecosystems. As the water stewardship lead for WWF-US, she develops and implements water strategies for corporate partners. Currently, she works with a variety of partners including The Coca-Cola Company, Starbucks, Levis and Ecolab on issues ranging from water risk assessments to collective solutions in river basins around the world.
For Lindsay, working with businesses is crucial to addressing the threats facing fresh water. "Water is the ultimate shared resource. No single entity can ensure the sustainability of freshwater resources," she says. "In developing solutions to the challenges we face, we must work across sectors and traditional boundaries."
Lindsay is involved in on-the-ground field work, policy advocacy, and stakeholder fora on water stewardship, including the CEO Water Mandate. She is an alternate on the World Water Council's Board of Governors. Before joining WWF, Lindsay worked with Patagonia, Inc. on water footprinting and the launch of an international water campaign. She has written extensively on environment and trade issues.
"Water is the ultimate enabler of people, business and the natural beauty in this world. We are entering uncertain times that will see tremendous population growth and urbanization occurring against a backdrop of increasing climate change impacts. I can think of nothing more important to lend my efforts to than working with businesses to catalyze a new stewardship ethic that will help us ensure water for all and future generations."

Jul 30, 2017I really hope I never see another set of these being sold so cheap I like to think my set is still worth $1200, lol. FYI, the Baja wheels are what first drew me to this beadlock style TRD look but I wanted 17's so I went with the Rock Warriors.
Kinetic Rock is real rock that magically sticks together Dig, build, and crush with the included rock crusher Use the included construction tools and mould to pave a road, create boulders, and crush rocks.
Every now and then, the lives of the actors and the characters they play seem to run in tandem. In the TNG episode Datas Day, Datanoting that Dr. Crusher had once won a dance competitionsought her out so she could teach him to dance. The episodes so called dancing doctor was a role that was right up actress Gates McFaddens alley.


We are so often told what to do: eat at this restaurant, add this new exercise into your routine, buy this, wear that! What if, instead of doing more and adding more, you would benefit by letting some things go? Bad habits can weigh you down and make your life harder.

There are no slump tests when you mix concrete by hand with river water
In October of 2016, JSA architect Jay Longtin traveled to Haiti as part of a volunteer building crew. In just seven days, he and a ten-member crew, with help from the local community, built a house for a Haitian family. Here, he tells his story:
I volunteered with the Fuller Center for Housing, an international, Christian nonprofit that builds and renovates houses in partnership with families in need. Homeowners work hand-in-hand with volunteers to build or renovate their homes, which they pay for on affordable terms, interest-free at no profit.
Our construction site was in Pignon, a town of 30,000 about five hours north of Port Au Prince, the capital of Haiti. Haiti, a Caribbean country that shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, is still recovering from a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that killed 230,000 people in 2010. It is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with 80% of the population living under the poverty line and 54% living in abject poverty.
As an architect, it was fascinating to build in a region so very different from the east coast of the United States. There are no slump tests when you mix concrete by hand, on the ground, with river water! Even with a bare minimum of tools and supplies, the construction went well. This family has a new concrete block house, a substantial improvement from their previous mud structure.
This was my first volunteer trip and I was not sure what to expect. I was concerned that I would feel uncomfortable with the religious nature of the organization, but there was no religious tension in this group. Would I do it again? I have to say yes, although I struggle with the inefficiency of flying eleven people (ten volunteers plus a team leader) to Haiti to perform manual labor. It felt more like cultural tourism than actual aid, but then again, not many people are willing to send money to a far away project, including me. All in all, a positive experience.

A new variety of the penaeid prawn Parapenaeopsis stylifera is described from the samples obtained along with the forma typica from the inshore waters at Cochin. In the new variety, the petasma is comparatively much smaller with smaller distodorsal projections which are less divergent. In addition, the appendix masculina lacks the distolateral process seen in the typical P. stylifera and the specimens, on the whole are more pubiscent.


Shodhan is from Canada and he is an Investment Manager.
I am a passionate Audiophile and have been all of my life . With grown Children, I have been able to find the time in the last 10 years to really pursue getting close to my desired sonic solution.
I am very eclectic in my musical tastes but have the greatest affinity for Blues , early Jazz and Female acoustics. In terms of musical presentation, I have a love for the nearfield/close-miked type of sound and even though I have multiple systems, that is a form of audio performance that I have a great attraction for.
Although I am not indifferent to the differences between analog and digital systems, I have adopted a more real-world attitude to music. There are terrible sounding LP's and great CD's . I am more focused upon the performance and the quality of reproduction irrespective of medium.
In addition, because of my chosen musical preferences – often analog media are simply not available. When I have a choice, I prefer analog/vinyl by a significant margin and have invested both my money and a great deal of time optimizing that aspect of my system. Nevertheless, I have also committed resources to my digital collection and to understanding new and improved forms of digital reproduction such as DSD , SACD and High-Resolution downloads.
Membership of the Greater Toronto Audiophile Association has enormously helped me both by introducing me to like-minded individuals as well as their respective talents and aptitudes in different areas. Some have wonderful ears, some are articulate about speaker placement for example. Others still are enormous resource-bases for new and interesting music.
Shodhan jointed ACA, on April 2013.
