LSID urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: B61711CA-BA9E-446C-9D14-E7D648495CF7
Holotype ♂ (pinned), Myanmar, Kachin, 15 km north of Kanphant, pass of Mt. Inwa Bum, 26°10’31.9”N 98°30’03.4”E, 3020 m, 4.10.2010, leg. S. Naumann, genitalia in glycerine vial (MfN).
Etymology. Named for Mt. Inwabum, where the type specimen was collected.
Diagnosis. The missing tergal straps and anal sclerites of the male genitalia refer this species to a clade in the R. curvata Branch. The species seems to have an isolated position due to the architecture of segment IX and the presence of a vertical fold on the median side of the coxopodite. We have not found a species with similar genitalia in the literature (cf. Kimmins 1953; Ross 1956; Schmid 1971; Sun & Yang 1995; Malicky & Yang 1995; Malicky & Sun 2002).
Description. Length of each forewing 6.9 mm. Head and thorax black; maxillary palpi and antennae brown; legs pale brown, spurs darker; forewings slender, with grey-brown membrane evenly covered by short, gold-brown hairs, not forming distinct wing pattern; hind wings slender, membrane grey.
Male genitalia (Figs 2A–2C). Segment IX ring-like, nearly parallel-sided in lateral view; coxopodite longer than harpago, with vertical fold on inner side; segment X plate-like, in horizontal position, inserted basally within segment IX, segment X separated into broad central part and pair of apicoventral processes, each bearing single bristle; phallic apparatus with thin, rod-like aedeagus, slightly longer than pair of slender parameres with bifid tips.

Holotype ♂ (pinned), Myanmar, Kachin, road Pan Wah to Phemaw, 25°43’51.9”N 98°24’06.4”E, 2260 m, 29– 30.9.2010, leg. S. Naumann, genitalia in glycerine vial (MfN).
Etymology. Named for the Kachin State where the type locality of the new species is situated.
Diagnosis. With respect to the male genitalia the new species is included in the H. newae Group. A similar species is H. fukienensis Schmid 1965 (and its synonym H. conoidea Li & Tian 1990). The new species differs from that and other similar species by the combination of apically directed plugs and proximally directed, small, endothecal appendages basally of the phallotremal sclerites, and the long and slender form of the harpagones.
Description. Length of each forewing 7 mm. Head and thorax brown; antennae and legs light brown; forewings with wing pattern of dispersed small, yellow spots typical for the species group; hind wings membranous, fork 1 present.
Male genitalia (Figs 3A–3D). Posterolateral lobes of segment IX triangular, suture between segments IX and X absent dorsally, dorsal carina broad, rounded apically. Harpagones of inferior appendages about half as long as coxopodites, slender and rounded apically. Appendices digitiformis of segment X melanized and sinuous, apices truncate. Phallic apparatus strongly sinuous; phallotremal sclerites large; endothecal appendages short, proximally of phallotremal sclerites, each with one terminal spine; pair of plugs present, directed apically; evaginated apex with two lobes bearing short apical spines, longer spines present in median position.

Evolution of the circadian clock in the genus of neurospora
Creators: name: Wager, Craig
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Circadian rhythms are daily oscillations in biological activities that have a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. Underlying these rhythms are multiple molecularoscillators that interact to form the circadian clock of an organism. The filamentous fungi and eukaryotic model organism, Neurospora crassa, possesses a core circadian oscillator known as the FREQUENCY (FRQ)/WHITE-COLLAR (WC) oscillator (FWO). Recent studies have shown that homologous Neurospora clock genes are not universally conserved across the fungal kingdom. Here, we aimed to identify similaritiesand differences at the sequence, molecular, and macroscopic level of the circadian clock in divergently related species to N. crassa. The Neurospora discreta species complex contains numerous reproductive species with isolates that have been collected from allaround the world, and extend the latitudinal boundaries of Neurospora by inhabiting regions as far North as Alaska, thus this clade provides an unique opportunity to study the evolution of the fungal clock to diverse local environments. Sequence comparison of the Neurospora discreta PS4b (8579) core clock homologs revealed a high degree of overall conservation with notable exceptions in the presence of additional WC complex consensus binding sites in frequency, suggesting possible differences in gene expression.Rhythms in asexual development in Neurospora discreta sensu stricto are overtly circadian regulated and underlying this were oscillations in FRQ abundance and phosphorylation were robust. Rhythmic conidiation in N. discreta PS4b 8579 was observed in cycling and free-running environments, however this expression was reliant upon several environmental conditions in order to be visualized. Molecular analysis of FRQ appears to reveal rhythms in abundance with decreased amplitude. An Alaskan strain, N. discreta PS4b 9981, demonstrated blue light mediated photo-responses, but was arrhythmic under free-running conditions and temperature cycling conditions. Phenotypes in asexual development of N. discreta species range from robustly clock controlled to arrhythmic. Western analysis of FRQ in N. discreta sensu stricto and N. discreta PS4b 8579, suggests that these phenotypes might reflect differences in the FWO.Based on data from the current study, we propose that these changes in clock regulation might have played a role for the N. discreta species to adapt to their local environments.
First Corinthians spiritual gifts chapter 12-14 and Pentecostals of today

description: There is a division within the Corinthian Church in Corinth, which the Apostle Paul's (an apostle of Jesus Christ) was made aware of after receiving letters from the household of Chloe's and other church members. Paul feels responsible for the Corinthian Church members because during a visit, which lasted two years, Paul had converted its member to Christianity. Paul is told that there is great confusion over a letter he had previously wrote to the Corinthians dealing with immorality and idolatry specifically; idol meat and the pollution of idols, and the total misunderstanding of the guidelines in this letter pertaining to marriage against fornication and the separation from immoral men, along with misinterpretation of Paul's explanations of the cross, resurrection and the coming of Christ. This along with new issues caused by group distinction (follower's) and some members of the church having received the spiritual gift of tongues, which made them feel superior, because others in the church hadn't, are now major problems, that the church members are asking Paul to give them a answer and guidance to. It is in this responding letter 1st Corinthians that Paul deals with them specifically in Chapters 12-14. Also in this paper I will answer the question of whether the Modern Pentecostals of today are living by and following the Pauline Doctrines?
Immigration atrocities In the “Land of Opportunity”
Creators: name: Seliman, Amir

description: America has been the home to many different immigrant groups since its discovery by European explorers in the 15th century. By the mid to late 19th century, scores of people such as: Italians, Irish, Germans, Japanese, and Jewish, came to the “land of opportunity” to escape their native lands due to economic hardships, political corruption, and even religious persecution. Upon arrival, these groups would face harsh treatment from the American government and its people one way or another due to political propaganda. Some groups have received a form of reparations or another, while others have yet to receive a simple apology for their ordeals that their ancestors suffered. Various resources have been utilized to examine and understand why and how these ethnic groups were scrutinized and who was really at fault for instigating such atrocious acts. Some groups were barred from jobs, while others were taken away from their homes and placed in internment camps only because they were deemed “enemies” of the United States when WWII was fought. American was involved in of the most controversial foreign policy decisions ever when they decided not to take in the Jews that were aboard the SS St. Louis and would cost these poor souls their lives at the hands of the Nazis. All of these ethnic groups came to America for its opportunities such as jobs, housing, freedom from religious persecution, and the idea of living the American dream. It is a real shame that countless lives were lost during this xenophobic hysteria that took place in the democratic republic of the United States of America. There is no question that all of this could have been prevented if the government was not so ignorant with their discriminating propaganda. The bottom line was that someone like a President Roosevelt and Wilson only cared about keeping their citizens happy to do whatever means necessary in order to win their support for re-election. Instead of focusing on the safety and well-being of its citizens regardless of origin, politicians only cared about winning votes.

Evidence from near-death experience for the existence of consciousness outside the brain
Creators: name: Sheehan, Marianne S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This paper discusses near-death experience in terms of evidence for consciousness existing outside the brain. The number of near-death experiences has significantly increased over the past few decades due to the advances in defibrillation and CPR techniques. This has made it possible to do Prospective studies in hospitals in an attempt to correlate psychological, physiological and pharmacological causes for near-death experience. Four arguments for evidence of consciousness outside the brain are reviewed and examples from Retrospective studies are given. They are the consistency, reality, paranormal and transformation elements. Retrospective studies provide evidence that near-death experiences have similar elements regardless of demographic data, but the details of the events are not verifiable. Prospective studies carried out in hospitals in Great Britain, America and the Netherlands can confirm through medical records and witnesses that cardiac arrest survivors have conscious experiences during unconsciousness when their brain is dysfunctional. Examples from these studies provide evidence that consciousness exits outside the brain. However, the dying brain hypothesis and the hallucination hypothesis are also looked at as an explanation for these experiences.

Holotype ♂ (pinned), Myanmar, Kachin, Kanphant, 40 km north, 3 km east of three-river-junction, 2450 m, 26°23’12.7”N 98°39’36.6”E, 3.x.2010, leg. S. Naumann, genitalia in glycerine vial (MfN).
Etymology. The specific name is the Latin adjective “ indivisum, “undivided,” referring to the undivided, simple form of segment X of the male genitalia.
Diagnosis. Considering the male genitalia, the new species resembles L. kjeri Parey & Pandher 2019 recently described from Arunachal Pradesh, India. The scapes and maxillary palpi are of different form. In the forewing venation, the discoidal cell is longer than its stalk, and the anal field is much narrower than in L. kjeri.
Description. Length of each forewing 8.5 mm. Head grey-brown, setal warts with long black bristles and short, grey, scale-like hairs, frons smooth, with median depression; scapes without processes, bearing long, black bristles, short scale-like hairs and small hairs, flagellomeres yellow. Terminal segments of maxillary palpi with apical brush of black, androconial hairs (Fig. 6D), labial palpi yellow-brown. Thorax dark brown dorsally, legs yellow-brown, spurs 2.4.4. Forewings grey-brown, covered by short scale-like hairs and black hairs on membrane and veins, base of costa with hair comb (Fig. 6E); wing venation in fig.
Male genitalia (Figs 6A–6C). Segment X simple and symmetrical, with main process broad, irregularly square, having length and height nearly equal in lateral view. First article of each inferior appendage with short, ventral extension at apex best seen in ventral view, basodorsal process clavate and curved dorsocaudad; second article clavate in dorsal/ventral views. Phallic apparatus with aedeagus strongly recurved at base, parameres symmetrical, apical portions curved caudoventrad.

Conostigmus ambiguus

description: Conostigmus ambiguus (Ashmead, 1893)
Figs. 11, 12
Species Comments and History. Ashmead (1893) described this species from a male and female specimen, stating that the male antennae are distinct because the pedicel and first flagellomere together are shorter than the scape. However, this is true in the majority of Conostigmus species (exceptions include Conostigmus abdominalis and related species). The female antennae are described as having the pedicel and first flagellomere of equal length (Ashmead, 1893), but this also occurs in females of C. bipunctatus and C. lepus, among others.
Masner and Muesebeck (1968) designated a female lectotype and male allolectotype at the USNM. Both specimens are complete but very poorly glued, and the excess glue obscures some characters. It is thus unclear whether the male and female belong to the same species. While both specimens have two mandibular points and a facial pit, the female appears to have a sternaulus while the male does not. The two specimens also have different collecting events, with the male collected in Arlington, Virginia, and the female collected in Washington, D.C., matching the original description given in Ashmead (1893).
Ashmead (1893) noted that this species closely resembles C. laeviceps, and differs in that C. ambiguus is larger and has differences in the sculpturing and lengths of the flagellomeres. Conostigmus laeviceps also has an elongate sternaulus (exceeding 3/4 of mesopleuron length at level of sternaulus). The female lectotype of C. ambiguus does not have an elongate sternaulus, and the male allolectotype does not have a sternaulus, so neither of these specimens belong to C. laeviceps. The male allolectotype has a yellow propleuron similar to the males of C. nigrorufus or C. rufoniger, and male genitalia characters are needed to confirm whether these are the same species.
Unfortunately, this Conostigmus species lives up to its name. We consider this species as a species inquirenda until more specimens can be found, and the genitalia of a male matching the female can be dissected and compared.
Material Examined. Lectotype female: USA: USNMENT01339747 (USNM). Paralectotypes (1 male): USA: Virginia: 1 male. USNMENT 01212995 (USNM).

description: Organisations all over the world are increasingly becoming digitally enabled, including infrastructure providers and are looking to use this new found a digital way of working to transform the organisation into a more lean, efficient and productive organisation. Digital transformation is not exclusively about digital technology but the fact that technology, which is digital, will enable the organisation to create greater informed decisions around there current and future challenges, objectives and strategy. While many organisations are currently going through a digital transformation process, there are challenges in demonstrating the value of such a transformation process to the broader organisation. This is partly due to the fact that for digital transformation to be successful it must encompass all of the organisation, including traditional business processes and functions that are not prone to change. Furthermore, it can be witnessed that digital transformation is not purely a technical solution but is also an organisational cultural change, one that allows for an agile approach to working and one that acknowledges failure in a positive perspective. A framework is proposed in this paper that utilises the BIM information management processes and adopts them into a digital transformation process. The framework aims to not look at BIM within individual lifecycle stages, but the full adoption of BIM between all the lifecycles stages. Furthermore, it will support the full organisational adoption of BIM within all organisational functions such as risk management, customer reengagement, fiscal management, resource management, ETC. finally, the framework will enable the culture to change requirements by providing a collaborative and transparent environment to digital transformation.
Relationships between social phobia and substance use disorders among youth
Creators: name: Coleman, Margaret
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The goal of this study was to examine whether conduct disorder (CD) moderates the association between social phobia (SP) and substance use disorders (SUDs) (and secondarily, whether this association differs by gender). To examine this relationship, three archival data sets were used: National Comorbidity Survey (NCS), The Methods for the Epidemiology of Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders (ME CA) and National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R). These data sets provided information on the independent (SP, CD, gender) and dependent (alcohol abuse with or without dependence, alcohol dependence, drug abuse with or without dependence, drug dependence, any alcohol diagnosis, any drug diagnosis, any abuse and any dependence) variables that this study examined. Also, of the age groups represented in these data sets, only 15-22 year olds were included in this study. Logistic regression was used to test the significance of interaction effects between SP and CD when predicting SUDs. The overall findings indicated that gender did not moderate the association between SP and SUDs; however, the results from the Combined, NCS and NCS-R datasets indicated that although adolescents and young adults with SP and/or CD were at increased risk for SUDs, the risk for an alcohol use disorder (AUD) that is associated with having both SP and CD is less than would be expected based on the additive effects of these disorders. These results suggest that the processes involved in the development of AUDs differ among people with SP and those without SP, with CD being more prominent in the process for those without SP and less prominent in the process for those with SP. Future research more closely examining how CD influences associations between SP and alcohol use disordersis needed.

Material examined
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Alabama • 2 otoliths; GLS otolith comparative collection (1 specimen), MSC MSC 42236.
Description
Specimens quite large; one broken specimen measures approximately 20 mm long, 12 mm wide; more complete specimen 16 mm long. Shape primarily ovate, with posterior having greater width. Height/ length ratios around 65%. Margins smooth except for dorsal margin. Anterior margin short, consisting primarily of ostium opening. Anterodorsal margin fairly straight, slants upward. Dorsal margin continues slanting upward, characterized by four sharp crenulations. Posterodorsal margin straight to slightly incurved. Posterior margin short, rounded. Posteroventral margin slightly arched, slants fairly sharply to ventral margin. Ventral margin and posteroventral margin rounded, gently inclined upward to anterior margin. Inner face convex, marked by very large, prominent sulcus. Sulcus (heterosulcoid-type) located slightly more dorsally, extends from anterior margin almost to posteroventral margin (at least 95% of the length). Sulcus unevenly excavated, filled with colliculum. Ostium quite elongated, about same length as cauda. Dorsal and ventral margins of ostium approximately parallel except for very slight arching near cauda. Cauda narrow (about 85% of width of ostium). Horizontal portion of cauda slightly longer than downturned portion. Downturned portion of cauda forms approximately 45-degree angle. Cauda noticeably more excavated than ostium, with downturned portion of cauda being most excavated. Fairly deep, somewhat rectangular depressed area above horizontal portion of cauda. Downturned portion of cauda almost reaches posteroventral margin. Outer face irregularly concave, smoothly sculptured.
Remarks
The Alabama Claibornian otoliths share many morphological features with Recent species of Anisotremus, particularly A. caesius. The specimens of Anisotremus? sp. from the Lisbon Formation of Alabama are similar to the Anisotremus sp. described by Nolf & Stringer (2003) from the Eocene of Louisiana, but the Louisiana otoliths have a shorter downturned portion of the cauda.
Stratigraphic and geographic range in Alabama
The two specimens of Anisotremus? were recovered from the “upper” Lisbon Formation at site ACh-8. Bartonian, zones NP16 and NP17.

Religion, myth, magic, and folklore in Rabbit, Run and Song of Solomon
Creators: name: Bogatin, Rachel K.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: John Updike in Rabbit, Run and Toni Morrison in Song of Solomon extensively use religion and mythology as themes throughout their works, but in strikingly different ways. Updike was a practicing Christian and student of Christian theology all of his life. Two of his greatest influences were neo-Orthodox theologian Karl Barth and philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, illustrated throughout the novel in the portrayals of the protagonist Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, and Reverend Fritz Kruppenbach, and contrasted sharply to the Reverend Jack Eccles. Updike uses mythology to contrast with the religious themes and overtones of the story. Toni Morrison in Song of Solomon also uses Christian theology, but in a far subtler and different way. Morrison uses the influence of the black church in America on her character portrayals, particularly their names. But Morrison‟s real focus is the African origins of the black church in America, as well as the magic and folklore of Africa.

description: In the years after the Civil War until the 1930s, blacks in America undertook a literacy project -- a vast effort, long-lived, undertaken not by the power, authority, or bureaucracy of government, but instead by blacks acting on their own, unaware of similar efforts in a thousand other places. In the project, Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, a Historically Black College, assumed the obligation to develop leaders, equip teachers, and contribute in any way possible to Negro literacy. Scholars of black colleges have lumped all black colleges together and assumed that what was true about one college was true of all. While this paper does not argue that Wiley College is a representative case study, its story is so different from widely accepted narratives about black colleges that the paper supports the need for historians to take a fresh look at accepted narratives. Commonly held narratives state that the two crucial elements of Negro college success were overall direction by northern church denominations in the 1800s and financial support from northern foundations in the early decades of the twentieth century; they deny agency to leaders and supporters of HBCs like Wiley College. The narrative I trace shows people of Wiley, its President, Matthew W. Dogan, and the blacks of East Texas in charge of the college and engaged in the literacy project.

Conostigmus bacilliger

description: Conostigmus bacilliger (Kieffer, 1906)
Species Comments and History. Kieffer (1906) described this species from material collected from San Mateo, California, with the female unknown. According to Kieffer (1906), characteristics of this species include a black body with light brown legs, wings present and macropterous, notauli and median mesoscutal sulcus complete, and “1. Glied kaum so lang wie die zwei folgenden mitsammen” (pg. 258), which we interpret as the scape being barely as long as the pedicel and F1 together (the redescription provided in Kieffer (1914) specifies “Scapus kaum so lang wie die 2 folgenden Glieder zusammen”, pg. 220). The key in Kieffer (1906) distinguishes this species from others by the “2. Fühlerglied nicht halb so lang wie das 3.” (pg. 258) and the “analsegment mit zwei langen stäbehenartigen Auhängseln” (pg. 258), which we interpret as the harpe protruding from the metasoma. This is hardly a speciesspecific characteristic, though it may hint that this species has long harpe, like C. longiharpes, C. abdominalis or C. pulchellus.
Kieffer (1914) repeats much of the original description, though the key adds that this species has “Scheitel ohne Mittellängefurche” (pg. 170), as opposed to “Scheitel mit einer Mittellängefurche hinter den ocellen” (pg. 170), which we interpret as the species lacking a preoccipital furrow. This would distinguish it from C. longiharpes, C. abdominalis and C. pulchellus, which all have a preoccipital furrow.
The location of Kieffer’s type material is unknown, and the characters given in the original description could apply to several different species of Conostigmus. We consider Conostigmus bacilliger as a species inquirenda.

description: Percoidei indet. 1
Fig. 71 M–N
Material examined
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Alabama • 5 otoliths; GLS otolith comparative collection (4 specimens), MSC 39063.
Description
Sulcus distinctly divided, clearly heterosulcoid. Wide ostium, much narrower cauda. Cauda is uniform in width, downturned ventrally. Ostium tends to widen ventrally.
Remarks
The five specimens exhibit features of percoids (Suborder Percoidei, Order Perciformes). Perciform otoliths are usually distinctly heterosulcoid, with an ostium that widens ventrally and a much narrower cauda that is usually uniform in its width and bent ventrally. Unfortunately, the specimens could not be identified to a specific perciform family.
Stratigraphic and geographic range in Alabama
All of the specimens assigned to Percoidei indet. 1 were recovered from the “upper” Lisbon Formation at site ACh-8. Bartonian, zones NP16 and NP17.

description: Percoidei indet. 2
Material examined
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Alabama • 4 otoliths; GLS otolith comparative collection.
Description
Sulcus distinctly divided, clearly heterosulcoid. Ostium generally wide, cauda much narrower. Cauda uniform in width, bent ventrally. Ostium tends to widen in ventral direction.
Remarks
The four specimens exhibit features associated with percoids (Suborder Percoidei, Order Perciformes), like a broad ostium that tends to widen in the ventral direction, and a much narrower cauda that is uniform in its width and bent in a ventral direction at the posterior. Unfortunately, the specimens could not be identified to a specific perciform family, but they do appear to have morphological features that distinguish them from Percoidei indet. 1, such as the position of the sulcus on the inner face and slightly different proportions between the length of the ostium and cauda.
Stratigraphic and geographic range in Alabama
All of the specimens assigned to Percoidei indet. 2 were recovered from the “upper” Lisbon Formation at site ACh-8. Bartonian, zones NP16 and NP17.
Perciformes indet.
Material examined
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Alabama • 7 otoliths; WSU CC 469.4, WSU CC 472.2, WSU CC 472.3, WSU CC 472.4, WSU CC 474.1, WSU CC 474.2, WSU CC. 475.2.
Description
Sulcus distinctly divided (heterosulcoid), with wider ostium but much narrower cauda. Cauda appears to be of uniform width, bent ventrally. Ostium appears to be widened ventrally.
Remarks
The features described above are characteristic of the Perciformes, but they display very plesiomorphic perciform features. Juvenile specimens could not be assigned to a specific family. Due to their very small size and plesiomorphic nature of the specimens, we cannot determine if they represent species identified above or something different.
Stratigraphic and geographic range in Alabama
All specimens assigned to Perciformes indet. were recovered from the “upper” Lisbon Formation at site ACh-8. Bartonian, zones NP16 and NP17.

Implementation of California AB 13: smoking ban in bars

description: Recently, California experienced an advance in tobacco control policy--Assembly Bill 13 (AB 13). The bill prohibits smoking in the workplace and was extended to bars, taverns and gaming clubs on January 1, 1998. This smoking ban protects Californians from secondhand smoke, as well as discourages tobacco use. Despite the intentions that underlie the spirit of AB 13, compliance with the letter of this law has been an enforcement challenge.

 We will study how AB 13 is being implemented in bars, especially the process by which California localities develop enforcement procedures. We will interview and collect relevant documents from three types of people involved in this effort: bar owners; local government officials involved in developing and deploying enforcement procedures; and lobbyists working for or against the smoking ban in bars.

 We have three main research aims. The first is to determine variability in compliance, that is, why and how some bar owners voluntarily comply with the law, while other resist the implementation of AB 13. We plan to sample bars throughout the state of California to get a representative sample of sites that vary by the type of area in which the bar is located (e.g., urban, suburban, rural), the type of patrons the bar caters to (e.g., tourists, locals, commuters), the type of owner of the premises (e.g., national chain, small business, family operated), the previous experience the bar owner has had with smoking bans (e.g., local ordinances versus none), and the type of local agency responsible for enforcement (e.g., health agency, local police department, etc.).

 We will also explore the process by which local governments enforce the law. AB 13 is unique in that it does not specify one state-wide standard of enforcement, but instead lets each local elected governing body decide who to entrust with the authority to enforce AB 13. We will study how the local governments throughout the state of California solve the thorny problem of enforcing the smoking ban in bars.

 Furthermore, we will study the resistance to, or support of, the smoking ban in bars mounted by interest groups. For example, the tobacco industry attempted to delay the extension of smoking bans to bars, taverns and gaming clubs, while voluntary organizations, such as Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, have rallied in support of AB 13.

 This project intersects with TRDRP's priority issues in that research that furthers our understanding of how and why tobacco control policies work will hopefully guide future policy decisions. AB 13 is worthy of study because it is flagship legislation that ensures that all Californians will be free from the harmful effects of involuntary smoking.

description: Conostigmus bakeri Kieffer, 1908
Species Comments and History. Kieffer (1908) described the species from specimens collected in Claremont and San Mateo, California. The description in Kieffer (1908) specifies that the “scape a peine egal aux articles 2 et 3 reunis; troisieme article trois fois aussi long que gros; quatrieme deux fois; dixieme a peine plus long que gros” (pg. 36). Other than these antennal characters, Kieffer describes the specimen as being black, smooth and shiny, with the wings slightly brownish in color and an indistinct facial pit present. Kieffer (1914) keys out the male and redescribes the species, adding that the preoccipital furrow is absent, as with Conostigmus bacilliger.
The location of Kieffer’s specimens is unknown, and the characters given in the original description could apply to several species. For now, we consider Conostigmus bakeri as a species inquirenda.

description: Several studies indicate that children of men who smoke, but not women who smoke, have an increased risk of childhood cancer. We have previously shown that men who smoke may damage (mutate) the DNA of their sperm. Mutations in sperm DNA arises from paternal exposure to nitrogen oxides (mutagenic oxidants in cigarette smoke) and is prevented by the intake of vitamins E and C, which are dietary antioxidants. Smoking markedly decreases the levels of these antioxidants in the body. Despite the need to eat better diets, smokers tend to eat nutritionally poorer diets than do non-smokers, and therefore smokers do not normally eat enough of these antioxidant vitamins. Furthermore, men generally have lower blood levels of vitamin C than women. Thus, all cells in the body (including sperm) of men who smoke are at risk for oxidative damage caused by cigarette smoke. We will look at specific damage to sperm cell membranes, proteins and DNA. We will then measure the extent of sperm damage with respect to the amount of smoking and antioxidant dietary deficiencies.
