I propose a new topic about entomological business trips.
I begin it with a short report on the conference Animal World of Kazakhstan and adjacent territories in Alma-Ata in November 2012, where I was able to visit. I attach the program here.
My thanks to the organizers of the congress - everything was very good and at a decent level. Many interesting excursions, the opportunity to buy and receive literature as a gift were wonderful.
Interestingly, participation in the conference was free of charge.
The pictures show a general party, your humble servant in the safest place during an earthquake and together with colleagues I. Temreshev, S. Kolov, P. Yegorov, M. Childebaev.

To save time, the reports had to be studied in advance, and the speaker only called the numbers – the numbers of the key paragraphs of his abstract. To better understand this wisdom, we turned on pocket tape recorders and mini-computers, and then the main discussion was to begin between them. Stanley Hazleton from the USA immediately stunned the audience by saying: 4, 6, 11, which means 22; 5, 9, ergo 22; 3, 7, 2, 11, which again makes 22!! Someone stood up and shouted that it was still 5 and maybe 6, 18, 4. Hazleton quickly refuted the objection, explaining that one way or another – 22 is all around. Looking at the number plate, I found that 22 meant the ultimate disaster." © Stanislav Lem, " Futurological Congress "(after all, he is a genius...
