Diaspora Entrepreneurs mobilise for Peter Obi
Few days after the commencement of political campaigns in Nigeria, a group of foreign based Entrepreneurs have thrown their full weight behind Dr. Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
Under the aegis of Entrepreneurs for Peter Obi, (E.F.P.O) the group in a statement by Charles Ozoemena, Media Adviser, revealed that they are mobilising Nigerian Entrepreneurs from across Africa, Europe, Asia and America, to support the Labour Party's presidential flagbearer.
"We are not only coming to join his campaign train, but would also support him if he wins the election. We would mobilise the Entrepreneurs to come to Nigeria and invest in the economy, says the California-based Founder of the group, Queen Uche Umeagukwu Akpamgbo.
"As you are aware, the challenges before Obi are not just to win the election, but to also create millions of jobs for the unemployed youths in Nigeria. We would stand by him because amongst us are diverse millions of entrepreneurs who are successfully running their own companies, in America, Asia, Europe, Africa, everywhere" Uche, added, in the statement, released in Abuja.
Entrepreneurs for Peter Obi, they revealed, was formed after Obi's visit to the Beverly Hills, United States, in August 2022 adding that among the group also includes foreign Entrepreneurs, who are "Our friends" with multi-billion Naira investment intentions for Nigeria.
"Our decision to support Obi was predicated on the fact that Obi is an entrepreneur himself and deserves our backing given his promises to revolutionise Nigeria's economy by creating production spaces and plethora of jobs. We are aware that Nigeria is a giant of Africa and therefore demands a creative, visionary leader, who is honest and sincere and whose exemplary leadership will make impact not only on Nigerians but on the entire Africa. Obi's records and vision for Nigeria are inspiring and we know what good leaders are like and what they do for their country men and women. We see Obi as a perfect mold of such leaders. That's why we are supporting him" the statement concluded.

What kind of 3D printing filament should I buy?
I really don't believe 3D printing filaments are perfect, but I will tell you what I like about them. The best thing about 3D printing filaments are the big choice of colors and materials.
what is abs filament : This is what lego bricks are made from. Slightly flexible, pretty strong. A little tricky to print with: releases not-so-pleasant gases when printed, is very subject to warping (so usually needs a printed bed).
PLA filament: This is the up-and-coming champion, especially for beginners. Pleasant smell when printed, cheap (about $22 a kg), easy to print, made from corn. Only issues really are brittleness and doesn't do well with continual exposure to the elements (since it's biodegradable).
PETG copolymer: This is a really nice material to print with -- it's got a nice gloss to it, releases no toxic gases and is stronger and more flexible than PLA, but without the issues of ABS. Some refined versions of PETG do better e.g. Colorfabb XT, Taulman n-vent. Bit more expensive than PLA.
Nylon: The strength king! Printed nylon is a little bit flexible, but super super strong. It's a pain to print with -- needs a hot bed, doesn't stick to the bed.
Anything that can be turned into a paste or semi fluid material can be used to "print". Concrete, chocolate, epoxy, sla-resins, ceramics, pulp, wax, and dough are currently being used.


I have looked and looked on this website and I can't find the contest where I won this Gala Rouge Framed Poster from Brown-Forman.
I'm just wondering what the retail value is. I keep a log of what I win just for my own records.
It's very gaudy, I LOVE it!!! It was a very nice surprise. Funny, the package came 2 days before a letter explaining where it came from.
:) Never mind, I finally, finally found it on google.

Q: Se puede establecer fecha de caducidad para una pagina html? Gente tengo un html con un iframe dentro donde mediante jquery y un webservice cargo un comprobante en formato pdf, el problema radica en que el primer comprobante que deseo abrir lo hace bien, mientras que los siguientes siguen mostrando el primero. Supongo yo que es porque la pagina en cuestión se ha cacheado. Alguna otra sugerencia sino?
Funcion js que llama al webservice
function DescargarLiq() {
var url = "../paginas/ws.asmx/DescargarLiquidacion";
var archiv = window;
archiv.open("../paginas/Liquidacion.html", "PDF");
archiv.Ruta = url;
}

La funcion del WebService carga una imagen almacenada en el proyecto y mediante itextsharp la completa con los datos de la transaccion
Script dentro de la pagina Liquidacion.html
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var Ruta = window.opener.Ruta;
        crarPDF();

        function crarPDF() {
            $('#iframepdf').attr('src', Ruta);
        }
    });

A: Este comportamiento lo controla el navegador, y lo hace principalmente en función de una serie de cabeceras HTTP que van asociadas en la respuesta que viene del servidor, y que le dan indicaciones de como gestionar la cache:

*

*Pragma: no-cache y Cache-Control: no-cache: Le indican al navegador que el archivo no se debe cachear, con lo cual siempre necesitará descargar la nueva versión al completo

*Expires indica un momento a partir del cual la copia cacheada se debe considerar inválida y descartada.

*Cache-Control: max-age = 100 es similar, sólo que en vez de dar la fecha de expiración indica cuanto tiempo falta para ésta.

*Last-Modified indica cuando fue la última vez que se modificó el recurso en el servidor; si la fecha es posterior a la fecha del documento en la caché eso significa que el recurso ha cambiado y debe cargarse.
Todos estos valores se definen en el servidor, así que se debe modificar el código de éste para incluirlas.
Si solo puedes tocar el código de cliente, hay un pequeño "truco" fácil de probar: modificar la URL para que cada petición sea distinta, "engañando" de esa forma al navegador para que nunca acceda a la información cacheada.
Lo más sencillo suele ser añadir un parámetro "dummy" a la URL que vaya variando con cada petición; por ejemplo el tiempo del sistema:
var d = new Date();
var url = "../paginas/ws.asmx/DescargarLiquidacion?dummy=" + d.getTime();

De todas formas, si puedes modificar el servidor es mejor hacerlo allí porque a) solucionas el problema para todos los clientes que se conecten y b) dará menos problemas imprevistos.

Before and after! Or how to make a difference in two hours!
Before and afters, don't you just love them?
I could have – sorry bro– called this article… Does anyone know where the floor is?
This place had been presented to me as the laundry "from hell"! For a start, this is what it looks like after two hours of sorting, and one hour of cleaning.
Being in paradise, will happen after the next phase.
hangers for clothes coming out of the washing machine, they will dry without wrinkling,, and can be directly put away in the closet- no tshirts collapsing from shelves.
three dirty laundry baskets (whites, colours, delicates) near the machines– If we keep only the essential (What we like and what we really use), There are less things to manage, wash and store!
Now, I'm going home– I want to do the laundry too!
How long should you keep your make up ?


Do you ever have moments in life when you just do not desire God from your heart? Perhaps you intellectually believe in God and you might even keep His commandments and attend church every week...but you've lost that deep affection and desire for His presence. Maybe your walk with God seems boring, uninteresting, dull. How do you revive your passion for God?


$Signed a one-year, $546,500 contract with the Padres in March of 2018.
Cordero (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Cordero exited Saturday's game against the Cardinals with a sore right elbow, and while he was reportedly available off the bench Sunday, it turns out the issue is serious enough to warrant a stay on the shelf. Luis Urias was recalled from the minors in a corresponding roster move, while Manuel Margot figures to cover center field in Cordero's absence.
How does Franchy Cordero compare to other hitters?
As an endgame play in deeper leagues, Cordero has a chance to pay dividends in 2018. He struck out 44.4 percent of the time in 30 games in the majors last season, but that doesn't mean he is doomed (Aaron Judge did the same thing in 2016). Cordero, who won't turn 24 until September, has plus raw power and enough speed to steal double-digit bases over a full season. He also rates as a quality defender at all three outfield spots. Cordero rarely makes soft contact (12.2 percent last season), and while his swing-and-miss issues will likely prevent him from ever hitting for a high average, the raw tools are here for him to be a four-category producer. Manuel Margot is assured of a spot in the outfield long term, but the other two spots are not nailed down. Hunter Renfroe and Jose Pirela may be the only two players standing between Cordero and everyday work in an outfield corner. He impressed in the Dominican Winter League this offseason, and will look to be more successful against MLB pitching when his name is called.
Cordero performed well at High-A Lake Elsinore and then Double-A San Antonio in 2016, which led the Padres to add him to their 40-man roster following the season for Rule 5 protection. In his 322 plate appearances in High-A, Cordero slashed .286/.339/.444. His numbers only improved upon arrival to San Antonio and his overall performance earned Cordero a brief callup to Triple-A El Paso at the end of the season. Cordero is a solid runner, as evidenced by his 23 total stolen bases in 2016, but his disappointing walk rates have kept him from being more of a threat on the bases. While Cordero has displayed some impressive tools, his slow development now at age 22 likely limits his ceiling to that of a fourth outfielder.
Cordero went 1-for-2 with an RBI double in Monday's Cactus League win over the Indians.
Cordero (elbow) will make his 2018 winter-league debut with Leones del Escogido on Tuesday.

Gladeville is an unincorporated community in Wilson County, Tennessee. The community is named for the surrounding cedar glades— a unique type of ecosystem that thrives in the thin or barren soil of south Wilson County. Gladeville is located just off Interstate 840 along Stewarts Ferry Pike, approximately  southeast of Mt. Juliet.

Gladeville was founded in 1852 on land of Benjamin Hooker Jr. and grew steadily for several years, although the outbreak of the Civil War slowed its growth.  The post office was established in 1855 with John M. Bland as the first postmaster. Notable Gladeville natives include Grand Ole Opry fiddler Sid Harkreader (1898–1988).  The community is home to the Nashville Superspeedway.

Gladeville was formerly a regional softball hub in the 1980s and 1990s with many large tournaments being held in the spring and summer months.  However, in the early 2000s a significant decrease in activity occurred and by the mid 2000s, activity ceased completely. The softball field has been used for various youth teams since, and is currently utilized by the Diamond Dawgs, which boasts 11U and 12U AAA traveling competitive baseball teams.

Gladeville has a small downtown area at the intersection of Gladeville Road & Stewarts Ferry Pike that features several restaurants and businesses.

The community was struck by an EF-1 tornado on the afternoon of November 18, 2017.

Demographics

Education
Gladeville is served by Wilson County Schools. It is zoned to Gladeville Elementary School, Gladeville Middle School, and Wilson Central High School.

Did being a model give her a false mindset of who she really is
How to love your body
Is chivalry gone


It has been nearly eight months since jihadists attacked U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed, and many more were badly injured. And that is pretty much all we know for sure about an incident that has – let's face it – been subjected to the most comprehensive, and successful, cover-up in modern political history.
Now, seven hundred heroic special operations veterans have written an open letter to Congress calling for the creation of a new investigative committee to establish the truth. They want to know, in particular, why warriors like them weren't allowed to aid our countrymen in their hour of need.
During their years of service, these 700 special operations veterans have put their lives on the line for our country. They trained and prepared for and, in many cases, executed missions to come to the aid of Americans who were in danger or in enemy hands. They know firsthand the risks that are entailed, and they willingly took those risks.
In short, these special operators lived by one of our military's most sacred principles: No comrade is left behind, ever.
This is not an effort to settle political scores. Neither the Democrats who run the Senate nor Republicans who run the House have conducted the needed "full accounting." What is required is more than just a postmortem on a national security debacle, however.
The signers of the open letter are determined to ensure than no one else needlessly loses their lives by establishing – and learning from – all the lessons of the Benghazigate scandal. And they know it will take the sort of transparency and accountability up the entire chain of command wholly absent since the first shots were fired by jihadists that fateful night.
The Special Operations Force (SOF) 700 believe the only way at this point to achieve such transparency and accountability is by the establishment of a new, independent and bipartisan select House committee charged with the full investigative powers of the Congress. The pending legislative vehicle for setting up such a panel is House Resolution 36, sponsored by Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) and some 70 of his colleagues.
As one of the SOF community's most revered leaders – in both war and peace, retired Army Lieutenant General William "Jerry" Boykin, put it recently: "I have seen men take great risks to save a fellow warrior. I have even seen men die trying to do so. The lack of accountability regarding the Benghazi event disturbs me greatly and bears the earmarks of a cover up.
It is a sad indictment of the state of our polity that warriors like the SOF 700 must step forward to demand that Congress perform the oversight function that is its solemn constitutional duty. But we have relied on them before to save our collective bacon, and it speaks volumes about the character, clarity of vision and love of country of these men that they have not hesitated to muster out once again on our behalf.
God bless the SOF 700 and may Congress heed their appeal for enactment of H. Res 36.

Deep Funk CD Orgone
Undercover Mixtape
CD (Item 870042) Colemine, 2018 — Condition: New Copy
Colemine
Colemine (label)
Deep Funk (CD, LP)
Damn! Orgone just keep getting better and better – to the point where we might almost say that there's no difference between the strength of the group's sound and all the funky 70s acts that have inspired their music! The instrumentation and production are right on the money throughout – and speaking of inspiration, the group pay tribute to some of their heroes – by taking on tunes by The Meters, Funkadelic, Rufus Thomas, Booker T & The MGs, and many others – but all at a level that makes the tunes completely their own. With Colemine on hand to co-present the record, there's a definite love of heavy funk in the whole production – both on the soulful vocal cuts, and the album's great instrumentals. Titles include "The Black Five", "Cynthy-Ruth", "Think", "Nobody's Fault But Mine", "Breakdown", "Melting Pot", "It's Serious", "It Ain't No Use", "Cosmic Slop", and "Let Me Be Your Love Maker". © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Used Vinyl Grades
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
Near Mint - (minus)
Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
Possible minor surface noise when played.
Very Good + (plus)
Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
May have slight surface noise when played.
Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Very Good - (minus)
Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper.
This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record.
Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface. The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise.
Good + (plus)
Vinyl may be dirty, or have one outstanding flaw, such as a light residue, which could be difficult to clean.
May have marks on all parts, too many to qualify as Very Good-, or several deeper marks, but the record should still be ok for play without skips.
In general, this is a record that was played a fair amount, and handled without care. A typical example may be a record which has been heavily played by a DJ, and carries marks from slip cueing. Depending on the quality of the vinyl, may play with surface noise throughout.
A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting.
Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
In most cases, a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Used CD Grade
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.

Index Ventures Joins $1M+ Seed Round Backing Mobile Education Platform Startup, Gojimo
Natasha Lomas	@riptari / 7 years
Index Ventures recently backed the computing education-focused hardware startup Kano — via one of its partners, Saul Klein. Today the firm is putting some money behind a more mainstream education startup, called Gojimo, that's targeting mobile as a delivery and engagement platform for learning.
Gojimo started life back in 2009 as a single education app built by a 17-year-old U.K. schoolkid called George Burgess (with a little help from his geography teacher to come up with the content for the first app).
That one app spawned a business, called EducationApps, which in turned spawned scores of standalone education apps — more than one hundred in all, covering various subjects and qualifications, which collectively garnered a quarter of a million downloads.
That piecemeal approach obviously presents scalability challenges to a startup. So Burgess, now 21, is consolidating all those apps into a new single platform approach to mobile education — and launching a new mobile education business to house it.
Call it a pivot from multiple app management chaos to single unified platform order, although the focus of the business remains unchanged — allowing Burgess to transfer some of the content previously used in EducationApps and, more importantly, the relationships it built up with education providers over to his new venture.
"For us it's a complete restart, it's a refresh, it's a rebrand, and it also takes into account everything we've learnt — for example from our users, from students, from teachers, and even from publishers we've worked with over the past few years," Burgess tells TechCrunch.
"We have a bit of content which we've made ourselves, back in the day, some of our early stuff, but [the content in Gojimo is being provided] pretty much all from major publishers," he adds.
The platform is launching with content from Oxford University Press and McGraw Hill, with negotiations to add additional content from other "major" education publishers at an advanced stage, says Burgess.
"We expect, half way through this year, to have every major U.K. academic publisher on there," he adds.
The Gojimo platform will offer (initially U.S. and U.K. — but with a longer term plan to expand into developing countries) students a one-stop-shop for easily locating relevant content for the particular subjects and qualifications they are studying, packaging up quizzes and study guides for a mobile form-factor, initially as an iOS app.
Gojimo plans to support more types of content in future, such as multimedia content, but is initially focusing on ebook-style content formatted for mobile, and is initially positioning the platform as an "exam tool" centred on revision, rather than general learning.
"Longer term we definitely want to move into broader learning — whether it's the core text-books or life-long learning, because I think the technology we're building positions us quite nicely for that. But certainly now the focus is on exam prep," he says.
The platform is also going to get more sophisticated in terms of its feature-set later this year, with "interactivity" and "gamification elements" planned to increase stickiness and user engagement, including a student leaderboard so learners can quantify their progress against their peers.
"We're looking at how we can build really interesting interactive functionality… which helps students learn better, helps them engage more and makes this sort of content more interactive," says Burgess.
Future functionality will also include allowing teachers to assign work via the platform — such as reading a chapter, or taking a quizz — with the teacher then receiving notifications when students have completed work and/or receiving details of the student's score. Burgess says these teacher tools will launch in March or April.
While the Gojimo app itself is free to download, students (or schools) pay for the specific content they're after — buying study guides and other educational content as in-app purchases, which gives Gojimo its business model.
Selling bulk content licenses to schools is a key plank of Gojimo's business strategy here. Burgess says it spent a lot of time building its own online volume selling system to allow schools to bulk buy content for students — to get round restrictions with trying to implement bulk purchasing via Apple's App Store.
'We're now in a position where we can volume sell to schools, which is why we're starting to market that ability," he adds. (Gojimo was at the BETT fare earlier this month to start trying to drum up interest).
Burgess' experience with EducationApps and his education publisher connections has attracted Index as lead investor in a $1 million+ seed round, being announced today, along with Richard Reed, Adam Balon and Jon Wright — the trio behind Innocent Drinks. They're investing in Gojimo through their consumer venture fund, JamJar Investments.
Commenting on the funding round in a statement, Saul Klein, partner at Index, said: "By reimagining education for the smartphone and tablet-native generation of students, George's ambition is nothing less than to change the way we teach and learn. At Index, we believe his impact will be felt far beyond the classroom walls and we are thrilled to be working with him."

Not surprising when it comes to total compensation: London-based senior bankers simply make more both in bonus and salary terms.
Base salary is substantially higher in London: base salaries are on average 60% higher in London than in Paris.
While the cost of living in Paris is cheaper, London pay packages offer an extra USD350,000 annually, which more than makes up for expensive housing and school fees. We can expect the flow of top French bankers to London to continue considering the large compensation gap between the two cities.

Пчёлы – научно-популярная книга биолога, писателя и журналиста Иосифа Ароновича Халифмана о жизни пчёл. За впервые опубликованный в 1950 году литературный труд её автор в 1951 году получил Сталинскую премию второй степени. После этого книга была неоднократно переиздана и переведена на многие языки мира.

Содержание
Пчела – насекомое, которое издавна интересует человека из-за способности производить мёд и другие продукты пчеловодства, а также опылять растения. Знания о пчёлах и организации жизни роя необходимы человеку, чтобы приручить пчелу и направить её деятельность на пользу себе. Научно-популярный труд «Пчёлы» – успешная попытка обобщить современные знания о пчёлах и донести их широким слоям населения.

Книга начинается со знакомства читателя с каждым из членов пчелиной семьи и их функциями. Много написано о гнездах, сотах, ячейках, говориться о строительных инстинктах в природе и в созданном человеком улье. Автор описывает не только медоносных пчёл, но и осмий, цератин, коллетид и т.д. Показана роль цветов в жизни насекомого. Подробно описана жизнь отдельной пчелы и всего роя во всех стадиях и циклах. Большая глава посвящена приручению пчелы и пчеловодству. Книга легко читается и понятна любому человеку.

История создания
Иосиф Аронович Халифман с 15-летнего возраста работал журналистом в газетах. Но его интересовала биология, в частности пчеловодство, поэтому он поступил на вечернее отделение Киевского ветеринарно-зоотехнического института. В 1930 году он переехал в Москву и перевёлся в Тимирязевскую академию. Первые записи для будущей книги, которые начал делать на опытной пасеке Халифман, относятся к 1935 году. В 1949 году аспирант-биолог Халифман принёс рукопись книги «Пчёлы» в издательство «Молодая гвардия». В 1950 году труд был издан тиражом в 50 тысяч экземпляров.

Отзывы
Книга была хорошо принята как простыми читателями, так и в научной среде, была мгновенно раскуплена.

Так вспоминает ажиотаж вокруг выхода книги «Пчёлы» Лев Разгон в своём труде "Живой голос науки":

Ни один роман не имел такой прессы, как эта биологическая книжка…

«Литературная газета» писала о ней, как об «удаче исследователя». Множество практиков-пчеловодов, от никому не известных пасечников до знаменитого председателя колхоза «Рассвет» Кирилла Орловского, единодушно утверждали, что книга И. Халифмана – самое лучшее пособие для пчеловода. Журнал «Пчеловодство» даже требовал, чтобы «Пчелы» были включены в список учебных пособий для специальных и средних школ. И печатал письма колхозных пчеловодов, жаловавшихся, что в местах наиболее развитого пчеловодства книгу И. Халифмана невозможно найти ни в магазинах, ни в библиотеках. И они были правы. Москва и другие большие города нашей страны не самые подходящие места для разведения пчёл. Но именно в Москве дотошный читатель раньше всех раскупил эту книгу.Высоко оценили книгу известнейшие учёные того времени – Академик Александр Николаевич Несмеянов, биолог Людмила Ивановна Перепелова и др., а также писатели – Александр Трифонович Твардовский, Владимир Фёдорович Тендряков, Мариэтта Сергеевна Шагинян и др.

Награды
Сталинская премия второй степени (1951) – присуждена Постановлением Совета Министров СССР от 15 марта 1951 года Иосифу Ароновичу Халифману за научно-популярный труд «Пчёлы», опубликованный в 1950 году. Информация об этом факте размещалась на оборотной титульного листа книги начиная со второго издания.
