AbstractThe genus Ips is one of four closely related genera in the tribe Ipini, sub-tribe Ipina (De Geer 1775, Balachowsky 1949, Nunberg 1954, Hopping 1963). There are now 32 species of Ips recognized in North America, with a few more as yet undescribed. This paper defines the groups of closely related species with observations on the group relationships of species from other parts of the world. Work is in progress to define the North American species in each group.

For the last three years, GADS Services of the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) has worked with other members of the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) to review and improve the IEEE Standard 762, “Definitions for Reporting Electric Generating Unit Reliability, Availability and Productivity.” IEEE 762 is the basis of equations and definitions for the NERC Generating Availability Data System (GADS). With the help of North American, European and South African colleagues, the IEEE 762 has moved closer to that used in other parts of the world. This paper explains several major changes to IEEE 762 to bring about the compatibility. It also mentions some applications that are used by NERC GADS.

Resumo: A partir da primeira carta de Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) a Thomas Higginson, que então seria seu “preceptor” e interlocutor para sempre, este texto propõe uma leitura da obra da escritora norte-americana a partir do biografema da carta e da ideia de sua obra como “carta ao mundo” – conforme um de seus mais famosos poemas –, com todas as implicações trazidas pelo termo, e à luz das teorias de Roland Barthes, Maurice Blanchot e Silvina Rodrigues Lopes, entre outros.Palavras-chave: poesia; escrita; carta.Abstract: Departing from the first letter Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) wrote Thomas Higginson, who would forever be her “preceptor” and interlocutor, this text proposes a reading of the North- american writer considering the notion of biografema and the idea of her work as “letter to the world” – according to one of her most famous poems –, with all the implications brought by the term and under the light of the theories of Roland Barthes, Maurice Blanchot e Silvina Rodrigues Lopes, among others.Keywords: poetry; writing; letter.

How is medicine practiced on the other side of the world? As medical students in Canada, we learn much about pathophysiology and the North American healthcare system. Yet important observations can be made about how other cultures deliver care that can be used to help us address shortcomings of our own. In this opinion piece, I use my experience studying cardiac surgery in Shanghai, China to explore how each country confronts a similar problem: access to care in rural medicine. Despite their differences, both China and Canada come to creative solutions, reflecting the incredible diversity of their patients.

The family of Nemistrinidæ comprises throughout the world one hundred and ten described species, six or seven of which are from Southern Europe and three from North America; the remainder nearly equally distributed in Asia, Africa, Australia and South America. In their habits, so far as known, the species approach the Bombylidæ most closely, as also do many in their general appearance. Structurally they are of interest to the Dipterologist, on account of their intricate and diverse neuration, which in some species is almost Neuropter-like in the reticulation.Doubtless the number of our species will be augmented by future discoveries, but yet we can never expect a very material increase.
