Postgraduate Courses—AAP The first two of a series of postgraduate courses being sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics will be held at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan, March 2, 3, 4, and 5, 1959; and at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, on March 17, 18, and 19, 1959. Tuition for these courses is $50 and $40, respectively, for Academy members. Fees for nonmembers will be $70 and $60, respectively. These courses will both be organized so that each day will be devoted to papers and discussions on a different pediatric problem. At the University of Michigan, Dr. James Wilson and the pediatric staff will be hosts, as well as part of the faculty for the course. Other speakers will include members of other departments and the guest speakers, Dr. Warren Wheeler, Professor of Pediatrics and Bacteriology, Ohio State University Medical School, and Dr. Frederick C.

Alfred Tennyson was often reluctant to put his poems into print. In fact, early in his career only the efforts of persuasive friends like Arthur Hallam and Edward Fitz Gerald and the dedication of a committed poetry publisher like Edward Moxon enabled the poems ever to see publication. It was only after the appearance in 1850 ofIn Memoriam, for which Moxon particularly pressed, that the forty-one-year-old Tennyson felt sure enough of his own work to make such decisions by himself. After this success, he seldom allowed the conviction of others to undermine his own judgment in the practical details of publication.

In Memoriam

Con su partida el 2 de febrero de 2019, la UNAM perdió al Politécnico más Politécnico de los Pumas, pues siempre consideró al Instituto Politécnico Nacional como su alma mater. Francisco, el de la austeridad republicana, admirador de Juárez, amante de los libros, de la poesía, la tertulia y de las buenas pláticas. Francisco, la persona más ilustrada que conocí y del cual siempre presumí como el biólogo más culto en biología. Te vamos a extrañar.

Curculio Elephas

One of the insects that feeds on pedunculate oak acorns and reduces its seed yield is Curculio elephas Gyll. The study of Curculio elephas Gyll is necessary because of the severe damages caused by this insect and also owing to its insufficiently investigated biology. The research was conducted in the common oak seed orchard at Banov Brod, forest estate ?Sremska Mitrovica?, and in the entomological laboratory. The adults emerge from the soil chambers from mid July till the beginning of September. The presence of adults, as determined by crown fogging, ranged from the end of July till the beginning of September with the highest number in mid August. After emerging from the soil, females are already fertile with the developed eggs in the ovaries. They start egg laying after 1 to 8 days and they lay from one to seven eggs per day. Egg laying period lasts from 7 to 20 days. Fertility of C. elephas females ranges from 5 to 40 eggs, while their fecundity ranges from 19 to 45 eggs. At the end of the larval stage, larvae bore into the soil and stay there from one to three years. The species hibernates only in the larval stage. C. elephas has a one-year life cycle, while a minor part of the population has a two or three-year life cycle.

We examine the role an exogenous increase in household income, due to a government transfer unrelated to household characteristics, plays in children's long-run outcomes. Children in affected households have higher levels of education in their young adulthood and a lower incidence of criminality for minor offenses. Effects differ by initial household poverty status. An additional $4,000 per year for the poorest households increases educational attainment by one year at age 21, and reduces the chances of committing a minor crime by 22 percent for 16 and 17 year olds. Our evidence suggests improved parental quality is a likely mechanism for the change. (JEL D14, H23, I32, I38, J13)

In March 2017, responding to a pressure to improve athlete development and enjoyment, Hockey Canada moved to change how youth are introduced to hockey by mandating the implementation of a cross-ice development program for its entry-level participants. The mandate of cross-ice programming was to ensure that all 75,000 entry-level participants received increased touches of the puck on an appropriately sized playing surface; thus, heightening their spatial awareness and foundational skills necessary to enjoyably move forward in hockey. As is common for many sport organizations, the proposed programming changes were met with resistance by some stakeholders. Surprisingly, the resistance to the programming changes evolved into a much-publicized intergroup conflict within Hockey Canada’s largest market. The dispute could not be resolved in time for the beginning of the 2017–2018 season. As a result, the defiant local leagues were granted a one-year reprieve from implementing cross-ice programming. With only a one-year reprieve granted, Hockey Canada must now determine the appropriate steps to fully implement their desired programming change and ensure that resistance-based conflicts are limited in the future.
