Size of bee makes a difference, even in terms of what bees get studied. Large bees attract even the non-biologists attention and thus Carpenter Bees and Bumblebees are well known around the world. Small bees, that don’t bother or sting us can remain unstudied despite their abundance. Our eyes can’t resolve the differences in bees as small as these 2-5mm Old World Minibees, thus their identification become microscrope work for the specialist, and because many of their populations are in remote areas there is much to learn about what can locally be a very common bee. Small bees can effectively use (and therefore pollinate) small flowers and it doesn’t take that much pollen to raise a Minibee’s young. Thus across the world, the density of small bees often greatly exceeds that of that large bees we more often study. Certainly there are more species in this group to discover for the dedicated bee taxonomist.
So small is the unidentified Kyrgyzstani specimen seen here that it had to be glued to the side of an insect pin that is normally placed through the body of a bee to hold it in place. The lovely wing patterns seen here are called “Wing Interference Patterns” and created by the varying thicknesses of this insects thin wing membranes.

Further in Summer than the Birds
Pathetic from the Grass
A minor Nation celebrates
Its unobtrusive Mass.
No Ordinance be seen
So gradual the Grace
A pensive Custom it becomes
Enlarging Loneliness.
Antiquest felt at Noon
When August burning low
Arise this spectral Canticle
Repose to typify
Remit as yet no Grace
No Furrow on the Glow
Yet a Druidic Difference
Enhances Nature now
-- Emily Dickinson

The fall leaves on this photo are a great touch to a piece that is a highlight of the Plaza that we are all familiar with. I am excited for winter and snowy peaks and crisp mornings. I sure love the seasons here in Colorado. God Bless America

Wird China den USA den Rang ablaufen? Werden wir alle Chinesen? Vielleicht sind die Unterschiede aber gar nicht so groß? Vergleicht selbst.
Many people talk about the rival between the USA and China. Are we all becoming Chinese or will the west prevail? Here's the answer to whats' s different and what's alike. A subjective comparison between China and the USA. Guess what's where...
Anyone can make a difference! Local youth attended the Rising Voices Youth Summit at the newly renovated Flowing Wells Library on Saturday, April 13, 2019 to find out how to get involved with leadership in the library and the community. Youth leaders will presented about how they have made a difference in the community, each in their own way.
Attendees participated in personalized leadership activities and consulted about how Pima County Public Library and the community can further support youth voice and leadership. They networked with peers and found out about opportunities to get involved as a leader in the Tucson community.

Though the picture looks cheesy for a typography, this actually was the least cheesy wordings I could come up with. The font is not too professional and really simple, makes the photo feel like one from Lifetouch photography. I digress, the photos mood was supposed to be simply happy and I think Ryan's smile nailed that. Answering this weeks question is it just adds an extra layer of emotion.

Peace Corps Volunteers ready to make a difference
Thirteen new United States Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn in on Tuesday, December 18, as a final step before moving into villages for their two year assignments. The volunteers just completed an intensive 10-week Pre-Service Training Tuesday and have begun transferring to their individual villages scattered throughout Upolu and Savaii.
Their primary focus is to improve primary school students’ English literacy. In addition, several volunteers are going to villages that were severely affected by Cyclone Evan and will have the unique opportunity to help repair and rebuild the schools they will be working in, as well as help the affected communities in additional ways.
In light of recent events, the volunteers were sworn in by U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Chad Berbert in a private ceremony at the U.S. Embassy Office in Matafele. The following day the volunteers and staff from the U.S. Embassy joined hands with Samoa Victim Support Group to help clean out the SVSG office at the old police building.
“It was quite the task as mud had accumulated up to a foot high in some places due to Cyclone Evan,” Mr. Berbert said. “SVSG is doing great things for people in this country, including aiding people who are suffering because of Cyclone Evan. I’m very happy we could play a small part in helping to return the favor and assist them in recovering from the storm.”
The new Volunteers are eager to start their two year assignments, which will keep them in Samoa until December 2014.

The City of Malden, assisted by Congressman Ed Markey, was awarded an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant for the procurement of Onsite Renewable Technology. Part of the grant was used to install solar panels on Malden High School and to perform an energy audit of municipal buildings. Another portion of the grant was used to procure 108 LED streetlights for an initial deployment around Malden Center on City owned streetlight poles. New LED streetlights were installed on both sides of Florence Street from Main to Commercial, on one side of Commercial Street from Route 60 to Charles Street, and LED lighting was installed where possible on both sides of Route 60 from the Beebe School to Malden High School.
