As part of its ongoing efforts to protect nesting birds and prevent power outages, Penn Power has partnered with the Erie Bird Observatory for the second year in a row to install a 55-foot wooden pole with a nesting platform in Greenville, Mercer County. This proactive work will discourage ospreys from nesting on utility poles when they return to the area in the coming weeks.
Missouri City Police Department Proactively Fighting Recent Increase in Crime
Combining proactive policing policies with a coordinated community outreach, the Missouri City Police Department is strategically cracking down on a recent spate of violent crime in some Council District B neighborhoods.
The department's strong partnership with homeowners' associations will be instrumental to effectively targeting and counteracting the gang- and gun-related offenses that occurred in July and August, said Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald. He cited a number of anti-crime measures that residents who live in Quail Green, Quail Green West and Hunters Glen I through V can participate in, including:
*Attending regular monthly HOA meetings and conveying information regarding problem/nuisance homes to police officials and code enforcement staff
*Organizing and participating in a police department supported Crime Watch
Program
*Participation in Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) classes with the Community Relations Officer Dan Flagg. The CPTED program arms citizens with knowledge of a vast array of crime-prevention techniques and helps decrease crime through education
*Participation in police department sponsored gang education workshop
*Targeting Schools in hot spot areas for introduction to the Anti-Gang, "I choose to follow the rules" elementary school program. In the 2010-2011 school year, officers will focus on getting the anti-gang message out to kids early; holding training sessions in Glover Elementary on Court Road and Hunters Glen Elementary on Independence Boulevard.
*Offering anonymous tips to the MCPD by clicking on "Tracking Crime" under "Quick Links" at www.missouricitytx.gov
"In Missouri City, citizens believe in the police department, and we value our positions as a part of, not apart from, the community," Fitzgerald said, emphasizing the importance of citizen participation in securing safe streets all over the City. "We are greatly concerned about the recent rise in felony offenses in parts of District B, which is considered the police department's Beat 1." He urged citizens to "step-up and speak-up" by sharing any information that could help officers solve the following crimes:
*Aug. 26, Bradford Village: At 6:24 a.m. in the 2600 block of Village Square Drive, unknown suspects shot several rounds into the front of an occupied residence. A 10-year-old inside was shot in the foot.
*Aug. 26, Hunters Glen III: At 1:40 a.m. in the 1200 block of River Rock Drive, suspect(s) walked up to a victim and shot him multiple times, killing him.
*Aug. 12, Hunters Glen IV: At 8:10 a.m. in the 900 block of Derby Lane, suspect(s) walked up to a victim and shot him multiple times, killing him.
*Aug. 8, Hunters Glen III: At 2 a.m. in the 1300 block of Gentle Bend Drive, a suspect shot several rounds into the front of an occupied residence.
*July 26, Hunters Glen III: At 3:47 a.m. in the 1200 block of Gentle Bend Drive, a suspect shot several rounds into the front of a residence. There were no injuries reported.
*July 22, Hunters Glen II: At 9:35 p.m. in the 500 block of Lynnwood Drive, a suspect shot several rounds into the front of an occupied residence. A 14-year-old inside was shot in the neck.
Missouri City police are working additional hours and have teamed up with their counterparts from other Fort Bend County and Houston agencies and the District Attorney's office to identify, apprehend and prosecute offenders. Since crime has no artificial boundaries, the MCPD long-term strategy is to work with other jurisdictions to increase police presence in the City and in the neighboring subdivisions of Briargate, Ridgemont, Quail Run, Teal Run, and Quail Glen.
Explaining the decision to have a larger police presence in District B, Fitzgerald said, "Over the past month, this area experienced a significant increase in gun related violence. The police department had officers working hot spot patrols in the area on overtime since Aug. 5, but we needed to expand coverage by bringing in all police stakeholders. We continuously use crime analytics to determine which sections of our City require the most attention and adjust our deployment strategies accordingly."
Fitzgerald was not satisfied with year-to-date crime statistics through Aug. 31, showing 85 violent crimes last year versus 89 this year, although those same statistics show a 5.3 percent decline in property crime and a 12 percent decline in burglary. "Community policing, crime prevention and enforcement are priorities in Missouri City," Fitzgerald said. "The police department has a 'zero tolerance' approach for gang-related crimes; an opinion shared by most local leaders. Our local law enforcement community was quick to lend us assistance, a testament to our collective commitment to improving all citizens' quality of life."
He added, "The police department remains cognizant of the potential negatives associated with use of proactive patrol strategies to deter gang activity, and arrest weapons violators." However, he explained, "the department relies heavily upon their positive interactions with area leaders, community, and faith-based groups to maintain positive community support. We certainly do not wish to damage any goodwill or negate the substantive progress gained over the past year. We will continue to educate, inform, and engage the community, but must not relent until we have peace on the streets."

At the end of December, a team of officers from Greater Manchester Police’s (GMP) City of Manchester Division, were on duty patrolling the Cheetham Hill and Strangeways area, as part of a high visibility, proactive operation to disrupt the sale of counterfeit goods.
At the end of December, a team of officers from Greater Manchester Police’s (GMP) City of Manchester division, were on duty patrolling the Cheetham Hill and Strangeways area, as part of a high visibility, proactive operation to disrupt the sale of counterfeit goods.
Officers were on the streets providing a visible presence in order to deter those who sell counterfeit items from approaching potential customers, they were also engaging with members of the public in the area – handing out leaflets with information on how the sale of counterfeit goods is often associated with organised criminal gangs, as well as educating them on what the dangers can be when you buy these untested and unregulated items.
During the operation, one man was arrested and charged for possession of an offensive weapon and a breach of a court order and another was charged for failing to appear at court.
Inspector William Jennings-Wharton, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “I understand that the low prices of counterfeit goods can lure members of the public into buying them, so part of our tactic in disrupting the sale of fake goods, is to educate the public on what the risks and consequences behind those low prices can be.
“Counterfeit goods can not only have a negative impact on communities as a whole, with their sale linked to funding organised criminal activity as well as attracting more criminality to the area – as our action today demonstrates, but it can also have a personal impact on those who have brought it as these items are often not safety tested and not in-line with industry standards which can have dangerous consequences. That is why this operation marks the start of our ‘#WhatsItReallyWorth?’ initiative which aims to shed light on the risks posed by this type of criminality. We will be continuing to work with partners as part of the initiative, to take action against those involved in the sale of counterfeit goods, as well as working with the community and engaging with those who visit the area.
“If any members of the public have information that may assist us, I urge you to report it online or by using the LiveChat facility at www.gmp.police.uk or by calling 101. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

ODC-Cold & Flu Season
I think the best way to not get the flu or a cold is to be PROACTIVE...in other words take steps to prevent getting sick, don't just wait for it to happen. I work out at the gym 3 times a week for 45 minutes, it's a great way to keep your body in good shape!
The IT Operations Center (ITOC) on the second level of the building provides 24/7 proactive monitoring of all IT systems.
Any proactive person who takes precaution seriously, spy bubble can be of great service. Spy bubble is a computer software that allows users to keep track of individuals whom he or she considers either important or shady. Important individuals to a person include a partner, children, siblings and other family members, neighbors, and even friends. Whereas the shady ones may be comprised of employees, business partners, and even those from the first category who have previously done dubious things that have somehow diminished their credibility and trustworthiness.
SpyBubble cell phone spy software program is developed to secretly find a cell phone user, record phone data including call logs, spy on text messages, and even spy on web activities. It is appropriate for Smart phones, Androids, and old Blackberry models. The idea is always to completely monitor someone's daily activity through their mobile phone logs.
To commence with, the Diamond Drum of Samsung top loading washers facilitates effective and proper washing for all those sorts of garments without the kind of damage. The basic concept behind this feature is always to line the insides from the drum with a compilation of diamond like depressions that could remove all sorts of soils and stains. Along with the Silver Nano washing technology, the diamond drum ensures a tangle free wash, to ensure you shouldn't have of wrestling to discover clothes as soon as the cycle ends, with the smaller holes that ensure no fabric is unique. Also, the embossed surface provides more gentle spin for washing, with the different numbers of water facilitating a greater cleaning experience that is in sync with Indian requirements. Research has revealed the fabric area encountered with washing in a regular appliance has 79% more probability of getting damage than clothes washed in Samsung top loading washers, with thanks to the Diamond Drum.
There are free cellphone spy programs available online yet it's still better that you receive the paid ones. Free ones usually are unreliable and slow and may also post inadequate results, or else inaccurate information. Check for screenshots and other features before settling on pick any program to discover if it suits the needs you have.
With the mobile phone tracking available you will be notified of the incoming and outgoing phone call, every word incoming or outgoing, every picture taken with the phone, every video taken with the mobile phone, the truth is the technology is available with the cell phone tracking system that you can see with a map anytime through the day or night wherever that mobile phone is.

Proactive Property Crimes Unit waits for #Lakebay burglar to return to victim's property and arrests him.
On Sept. 8, a homeowner discovered that his vacant rental property in #Lakebay had been burglarized and that multiple items had been stolen. After filing a police report, he was cleaning up around the house and found court documents from a #KitsapCounty criminal case that the suspect had left behind. The homeowner was able to track down the suspect’s name and a phone number for his mother. He called the suspect’s mother and was eventually put in contact with the suspect, who said he was willing to return some of the items.
The homeowner teamed up with our #ProactivePropertyCrimesUnit and they put together a plan to meet the suspect yesterday at his #Lakebay property. When the suspect pulled into the driveway, deputies exited the house and ordered him out of the car. They placed him in handcuffs and arrested him.
Inside the suspect’s SUV, deputies found a TV, weed eater, generator and oxygen tanks that had been stolen from the property. These items were returned to the homeowner. The suspect admitted to burglarizing the property and said he had recently relapsed on #meth. He was booked into the Pierce County Jail. #PCSD

Herewith, one portion of a batch I'll soon be hauling off to Mr. Recycling Man. I've been a believer in recycling for as long as I can remember, but only in the past 4-5 years have I been trying to do something proactive, i.e., above & beyond saying "they ought to do something ..." and all that. Initially, my religious fervor about picking up stuff like this was mainly because litter is offensive to my eyes.
But more recently I learned about one of the most powerful reasons for recycling these ubiquitous throwaway containers. The reason is that producing new aluminum from bauxite, etc., is a HUGE consumer of electric power. In fact, a considerable percentage of the world's electric power generation is used by this one industry. It's a little hard to pin it down and determine which numbers are authoritative. For instance, according to the U.S. Dept. of Energy ...
"the U.S. aluminum industry consumed about 1 quadrillion Btu of energy in 1998 including losses associated with the generation and transmission of electricity at utilities. This amount represents slightly more than 1% of domestic energy use and 3.3% of all U.S. manufacturing energy use."
On the other hand, the Container Recycling Institute's position is that:
“3% of the electricity generated worldwide goes to aluminum."
Either way, it's a whole lot of energy, and putting used cans back into the cycle clearly cuts down on electricity demand. Because, the recycling process is much less energy-intensive than production of the new metal.
On a more nitty-gritty level, I'll never understand what's going on (if anything) in the heads of those who continue to throw the #^@%&! things out anywhere and everywhere across the land.
Oh, BTW, even the aluminum industry (through their trade group, the Aluminum Association) goes so far as to say:
"The role of recycling in the aluminum industry cannot be overstated. Recycling is a critical component of the industry, both from its contributions to the environment and because of the favorable economic impact on production. This dual benefit is probably the reason aluminum beverage cans now account for virtually all of the beverage can market, and most of the total single-serve beverage market."

Officer Jessica Berry, second from left, was recognized for being voted Officer of the Year by her peers and being awarded with the Fort Bend County 2012 Mothers Against Drunk Driving Award. She is pictured with, from left to right: Asst. Police Chief Mike Berezin, Capt. Dwayne Williams and Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald.
Berry, who said "it is very humbling" to receive the Officer of the Year Award, is a native of Pennsylvania, a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania and of the University of Houston Downtown Police Academy. "I am very blessed to work for a department that provides me with the support and training necessary to achieve my goals," she said. "The officers I work with are always willing to assist me and the administration provides me with every opportunity they can to help me succeed."
Patrol Division Commander, Capt. Dwayne Williams, cited her ability to "consistently lead not only her shift, but the entire department in self-initiated activity, including field investigations, traffic contacts and arrests," he said. "She always displays a positive and refreshing attitude at work toward her fellow employees and the citizens she serves."
In addition to be honored by City Council, Berry also received a special recognition at the second annual Police Awards Ceremony held on May 18. When presenting Berry a plaque, Dave Anderson with the Southeast Chapter of Texas Mothers Against Drunk Driving said: "This region of Texas, which includes ten counties, is still known as the drunk driving capital of the United States, so anytime we have the opportunity to recognize an officer who makes a large number of DWI arrests, we are pleased to do so."
Detective Terry Patrick, who joined the Missouri City police force in 2002, was honored during a recent City Council meeting for receiving the Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast District Exchange Club Officer of the Year award for his "dedication and tenacity pursuing every possible investigative lead associated with the criminals cases he his assigned." Patrick was credited with solving 11 burglaries in the past year. Patrick celebrated his honor with his family and Chief Joel Fitzgerald, far left, Assistant Chief Mike Berezin, far right, and Capt. John Bailey.
Det. Patrick was honored by the Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast District Exchange Club for his "dedication and tenacity pursuing every possible investigative lead associated with the criminals cases he was assigned."
Patrick said "to be nominated and selected is a great honor and achievement. Anytime a Missouri City citizen has been a victim of a crime, I take great pleasure in locating and arresting the bad guy. I want our citizens to feel safe in our city and to know that we will always do our best to help them in any way possible." He also received a special recognition at the second annual Police Awards Ceremony held on May 18.
Criminal Investigation Division Commander, Capt. John Bailey, pointed out a case in which Patrick had only a partial license plate as evidence against a burglary suspect. Bailey said "after two days searching through hundreds of license plates in two databases, Detective Patrick was able to locate and arrest the suspect, who was already on probation for burglarizing several homes."
Patrick graduated from Lamar University in Beaumont and the Lamar University Police Academy.
Other officers honored during the second annual Police Awards Ceremony were:
Years of Service Award:
15 Years - Capt. Brandon Harris

Casual Friday…what does it really mean?
First impressions count and professional property managers and office staff need to be aware that personal appearance and demeanor counts just as much as the office appearance
Always remember that if you look and behave like a highly trained and well-groomed professional, you will win the respect and honor of valued prospective tenants. Once a lease is signed you will have already set the standard for how business is to be handled. If prospective and current tenants see that it is alright for you to move around the office inappropriately their rent payments and behavior will reflect the same attitude. However, if you display a positive image they will take you seriously and be more inclined to behave and pay their rent as they should.
Well groomed hair, pressed attire and proper attire go a long way when establishing a professional demeanor.
If you are in doubt about what to wear on casual Friday in a professional environment, watch “The Office, casual Friday episode” it will give you some pointers along with a few laughs that you can take back to the office. “The Office – Casual Friday”
Some employees may think that casual Friday means coming to work in club attire and jean shorts. However, that type of attire should not set the stage for your property. That is why your casual Friday dress code policy should be explicitly spelled out.
Employees should be aware of the image they’re presenting when they dress according to their personal environment, and not the work environment. An employee who wants to be taken seriously should dress the part.
You must always remember that the office and the staff are all a reflection on you and the property. So, be proactive and nip the problem in the bud before it occurs. Put together a Casual Friday Policy and enforce it! It will indeed warrant you better results.
Texas, San Antonio Termite Control
Termite control is a major concern with most Texas homeowners at some time in their life. In order to prevent certain species of termites from invading your home or commercial building, it is highly recommended to do Texas termite control regularly.
The biggest risks associated with termites are found with the damage that is created from their infestation, as well as the expense to repair Texas termite damage. Therefore, every homeowner in Texas should do regular termite inspections in order to prevent or eliminate this invading threat.
No other insect can make more damage to you home than that of these timber destroying pests. The structure of your Texas residence may be in danger as you discover areas that have either been softened or have begun to crumble apart as a result of termite infestation. The good news is that as a Texas homeowner you can consider a proactive approach to termite damage.
Unfortunately, most home owners in Texas are only proactive and call a Texas termite inspector when they are selling their home. Fact is however, that termite control measurements should be scheduled on an annual basis, and not simply a result of a home sale or purchase. During the time where your home is not being inspected, you will often discover various forms of termite infestation. As a homeowner, you would like to avoid the expenses which are associated with repairing termite damaged areas as a result of a termite infestation.
Utilizing a Texas termite control firm which uses high tech equipment to ensure your home is free and clear of termite infestation is well worth the expense. By using solutions that help in preventing infestation with subterranean or drywood termites, you will save money in the long run. Also by having termite inspections done on a regular basis, you will get rid of the risk associated with Texas termites and termite damage.
Of course, there are many more advantages that are available for any individual looking to utilize the services of a Texas termite control company, due to the likelihood of termites which are found in a Texas home. Eliminating the risk of termites is just one example of the preventative opportunities that are available with Texas Pest Control.
If you want to save thousands of dollars in damage repair costs, you should take preventive means to save your home from termites. Getting Texas termite inspections done once or twice in a year can save any home in Texas a lot of money.
How to Control Termites
It is very important to know how to control termites, especially if you live in an older home made of wood or if you live in a warmer, more humid climate. Whether or not you already have an infestation, everybody should know how to control termites in order to prevent thousands of dollars of damage to your home and property. The first thing that should be done to control termites is to check and see if you have an infestation. Check your home and property for any rotting or damaged wood; including support beams and foundations as well as walls and floors. It would also be smart to check around foundations and in unfinished basements for tunnels in the mud that would indicate an infestation of subterranean termites.
Termites feed on the cellulose that is naturally found in wood, and can cause serious structural damage to a building. These pesky insects nest in the earth and cause damage to wood found closer to the ground. In homes and buildings, the damage caused by a termite infestation can be destructive and can be very expensive if not treated as soon as possible. If action is not taken immediately, the damage caused will gradually become worse and the affected structure will eventually become unsalvageable.
The effect of termite damage causes the wood’s overall integrity and reliability to become compromised. Only about a centimeter in length, these tiny pests can be subtle and relatively unnoticeable as they destroy the infested building. Every year, the damage caused by termite infestations is more than $100 million dollars. As deforestation occurs, termites have to take flight in search of alternative food sources. Since they are unable to determine or recognize the difference in food sources, anything that contains or has been built from wood can be an enticing meal. Because they eat cellulose, their diet has been known to include important papers, money, books, and furniture. Pool liners and filters have also been damaged.
For methods of how to control termites, there are several options available. The most obvious option would be to hire an exterminator, but this can be prohibitively expensive. It is possible to treat a termite infestation yourself. The first step is to go around the property and clean up any dead wood, branches, or log piles. Either remove these from the property or elevate them off of the ground so that termites cannot reach them. Next, seal up any cracks in the walls and foundations that the termites may be using to get into the house.
Finally, there are several products available for purchase used to kill termites. Termite bait is left near the infestation, and the termites carry it into the colony where the colony is poisoned and dies. There are also termite sprays available that kill termites on contact and can be used on partially exposed infestations. It would be best to combine both treatments for maximum effectiveness. Although everyone should know how to control termites, which method that is chosen to eradicate a current infestation is entirely up to the preference of the home owner. An exterminator would be expensive, but quick. If the home owner chooses to deal with the problem themselves, it may take longer, but the cost is much lower and the home owner is in full control of the chemicals used and their distribution.
Termite Varieties
Although termites are very small insects, they have voracious appetites. Unfortunately, their voracious appetites can result in many thousands of dollars of damages for property owners. Therefore, most property owners would probably benefit from learning more about termites. Although there are more than three hundred varieties of termites around the world, only four main varieties of termites are commonly found in the United States. The four varieties of termites found in the United States are Drywood, Dampwood, Subterranean, and Formosan termites.
Drywood Termite
Approximately 3/8-inch long with a large brown head, drywood termites do not require any contact with the ground or with soil. These termites live exclusively in wood, digesting the cellulose they find in common wooden household items to obtain the moisture that they need. Drywood termites often create not just one or a few colonies, but instead create multiple colonies within a single structure. The most common way that property owners discover their property is infested with drywood termites is by seeing their fecal pellets. However, many property owners confuse the fecal pellets of the drywood termites with sawdust.
Dampwood Termite
Like drywood termites, dampwood termites do not live in the soil or ground. Instead, dampwood termites establish their colonies in rotting or damp wood. Thus, dampwood termites often can be found in decaying ground wood around the exterior of homes. To avoid property damage from dampwood termites, particularly in tropical or mild climates, property owners should address those interior and exterior areas of their structures that are prone to moisture.
Subterranean Termite
Of all the varieties of termites found in the United States, the subterranean termite is the most common variety. Subterranean termites are usually transparent and somewhat yellow in appearance. They usually have dark heads and pale bodies. Subterranean termites are most likely to swarm in the spring. In warmer climates, however, they may swarm throughout the year. Subterranean termites are known for creating large colonies with very long, intricate tunnel systems. Because subterranean termites require constant contact with a moisture source, their colonies are usually located in the soil. Subterranean termites build long tunnel tubes to reach food sources. Thus, property owners should look for these termite tubes in order to determine if their property is infested with subterranean termites.
Formosan Termite
Formosan Termite are sometimes referred to as “super termites”. Formosan termites are frequently considered to be the most destructive of all the varieties of termites in the world. They are usually a pale yellow in color, although the color of the kings and queens varies significantly from light to dark. Formosan termites have the largest colonies of any variety of termites.
These colonies can have as many as eight million members and be three hundred feet in size. Because the colonies are so large and formosan termites are so difficult to detect, they often do a tremendous amount of damage before they are discovered.
Because termite damage can be extensive and expensive to repair, property owners should be vigilant about inspecting their properties for the presence of termites. If they do not know what they are looking for, they should consider calling in experts to assist them in this process. The best way to avoid damage from termites is through prevention and maintenance. Property owners who properly prevent termite infestation and maintain their properties free of these pests avoid the need to repair termite damage later.
Drywood Termite Control
Drywood termites, as you most probably already know, are exceptionally secretive insects and it can be a real challenge to determine whether or not you are having a drywood termite infestation. Most often, people only realize that they have one too many termites in their home at a much later date and by then, the infestation would have got really bad. Drywood termites thrive best when they live deep inside wood, so the only chance you will actually have to detect drywood termite activities in your home would be the period when the insects swarm. Basically, drywood termite colonies tend to be small but widely dispersed and the colonies only mature when left unchecked over several years, so if you are a responsible homeowner, then you may be able to avoid a full-scale infestation by investigating the presence of termites every so often.
Drywood termite treatment starts with making sure that you are actually having a drywood termite problem. In general, because drywood termites are not exactly huge in nature and they do tend to be quite secretive, detection of whether or not you have drywood termites feeding on your pieces of furniture might not always be as easy as you would have liked it to be. A full-scale investigation of your home will most probably require you to move around panelings as well as stuccoes. For effective drywood termite treatment, you will need to look for things such as signs of feeding damage, shed wings, termite fecal pellets, as well as kickout holes.
Drywood termite treatment methods are basically of two types and these are whole-structure drywood termite treatment or localized drywood termite treatment. To learn more about these technical terms, read on.
By definition, a whole-structure drywood termite treatment is the simultaneous treatment of all infestations in a structure, while a localized or spot treatment has more to do with a restrictive control method which addresses a single issue.
1. For whole structure drywood termite treatment, fumigants are used to treat infestations simultaneously. In general, fumigation shows a relatively high success rate and your home should be termite-free within days. Alternatively, if you do not wish to invade your home with smoke, you can make use of what is known as a heat treatment. Heat treatment is basically a non-chemical drywood termite treatment, which has been used for decades now. The treatment process basically involves heating all wood at a temperature of 120°F and above for no less than 35 minutes.
2. For localized drywood termite treatment, you can choose to make use of an aerosol spray or a liquid insecticide. The dust formulations are also known to work quite remarkably although it is highly recommended that you pay special attention to the instructions on the label of the insecticide you choose to use. Not all insecticides function the same way. In general, chemical control for drywood termite treatment shows a success rate that can range from 33% to 100%.
Drywood termites are basically primitive termites that cause much damage but often go unnoticed by homeowners for the simple reason that they are really similar to the very popular subterranean termites. Drywood termites belong to what is known as the Kalotermitidae family. As a general rule, most drywood termites only infest in dead trees.
Perhaps the biggest problem where drywood termite control is concerned is actually finding the very elusive nest locations. Basically, drywood termites form relatively small colonies so it can be quite hard to locate where they actually have their nests concealed. Apart from that little consideration, drywood termite control is pretty straightforward.
It is generally acknowledged that the most probable locations for drywood termites to build their nests are places such as the inside of furniture, the inside of wall studs, or even framing structures. It is very unlikely for you to find nests in wall voids so there is no point in you looking there. In fact, perhaps the easiest way for you to discover drywood termite nests is to actually study the wood surfaces around your personal space, they might have a lot to reveal.
Basically, drywood termites are known to chew away wood until only a thin sheet remains separating the termites from the environment, pretty clever little creatures, don’t you think? Anyway, the thing is, it might not always be easy for you to spot drywood termite infestation. Sometimes by the time you discover you have an infestation, your furniture is positively gone.
To identify a drywood termite infestation, you need to watch out for things such as piles of frass or even pieces of wood chippings. If you suspect an infestation, before you undertake any form of drywood termite control, you might want to tap rather soundly the furniture around your home and watch out for any falling frass.
Once discovered, drywood termites can be treated on the spot by injecting a generous amount of insecticide into any nest you discover. As for the larger infestations, you might need some more serious drywood termite treatment. Fumigation, for instance, might control several colonies in one go.
On a separate note, you might also consider a few non-chemical drywood termite control treatments such as heat treatments and such things.

On 11 June 2014 at UNICEF House, participants of the Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities learning and advocacy event prepared for a public speaking role about their lives, their disabilities and their dreams of inclusion for persons with and without disabilities.
Kartik Sawhney, 19, was born in India and is the recipient of many prestigious awards for his academic achievements. Currently a sophomore on full scholarship at Stanford University [California, USA] majoring in Computer Science, he is involved with young voices in India advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities. Born with Retinopathy of Prematurity, he has faced many challenges, but he has been proactive about his education and participation in school and social activities.
“When we talk about inclusion most people think it is basically including people with disabilities in mainstream education,” he says. “When I think about inclusion, I think of persons with disabilities actually communicating and participating with other students having the same resources and opportunities to succeed and have a holistic education as others. When I was in high school, I made it a point to participate... I was never told that I could not participate in sports or activities that was not really thought of as suitable for someone who was blind. Rather the teachers who were responsible for the activity were always up for taking up the challenge and devising alternative methods to include me in everything possible.”
“Persons with disabilities have always relied on innovations from others to accomplish the most basic tasks. Can you believe a person with disability actually being an innovator? “Science, technology, engineer and mathematics, these 4 words that have changed the world today are considered to be the four edges of a geometric figure that is not supposed to be touched by someone who is blind or visually impaired. But what happens if someone is really passionate about these subjects and really wants to pursue them? Should they be denied an opportunity simply because the world thinks that these subjects are too visual to be managed by someone who is blind?”
When he was in the 10th grade, he had to choose an educational track… “Everyone around me including some of my friends and teachers advised me to go for subjects including law and music simply because these subjects were far less technical and would not involve any visual inputs,” he says. “I was very confident about my choice and wanted to pursue science, no matter what. I wrote letters to the educational board in India and after 9 months finally got permission to pursue sciences, as India’s first blind student to do so. But that definitely was not the end of challenges for me. I soon realized that science was full of diagrams and other equations that were extremely challenging for me to handle especially because there was no assisted technology in India at that time. How do I go about doing that now? I was shattered and I almost thought that perhaps what people had been telling me before I made this decision were actually correct, and I’d better change my stream.”
“That is when a thought struck me. Who creates technologies? You? Me? Yes, people like us. So what if I cannot buy the expensive technologies that can enable me to study sciences? I can make my own technology. I can help me and other students like me in developing a world to understand science. That is when I came up with a suite of software that I call “STEM Made Easy” which consists of 2 suites, the first [is] a programme called “Audio Graft Describer,” which takes an equation corresponding to a curve and converts it to its audio tonal representation…I’m passionate about music too. And that is when I thought, well, let’s use music to understand graphs. And I came up with this software that uses 21 musical notes and using the variation in the frequencies, conveys how the graph is laid out.
The second software that I created is called: “Verbal Image Describer” that allows users to upload textbooks and then add descriptions for images in that textbook. The main advantage of this software was that [it] reduces the dependence on sighted assistants for understanding images.”
Kartik also came up with an alternative convention along with assistance from his teachers, which supplements the standard convention that chemists use for representing organic chemistry molecules, written in such a way that anyone unfamiliar with the convention can understand it…
“But the main point is that we often associate people with disabilities as consumers of innovation. But people with disabilities can well be producers or generators of innovation as well. What is required though is an opportunity to innovate, an opportunity to experiment, and an opportunity to pursue one’s passions. And who is it that will provide this opportunity? You.
Asked about inclusion and how we ensure that no one is left behind in employment and education, Kartik responds: “It often happens that we have to face insensitivity from the government, from educational bodies, from our classmates too but I think that rather than simply blaming it on the government to do something on our behalf or expecting the NGO’s to do something, we also have an important role to play. Disability is nothing more than a nuisance. You can do pretty much anything that you [want to] do, just show them.
It's been a while since I updated the thread, since I'm more proactive on Facebook and Instagram (@archiveandfuture)
So far my progress has largely been restricted to refining imperfections, the most notable additions being the RCS thruster arms, the egress column 'coffin' and the central cruciform of the descent stage.
The plan is to detail the descent stage as it appears under the thermal blankets, meaning that builders will have the option to display the interior workings or not.
This photo was taken place in Hawk Hallow Forest Preserve located in Bartlett, IL. While the temperature was 52 degrees Fahrenheit, it was windy and partly cloudy. This picture indicates that Zebra Mussels infest these waters. This body of water belongs to the Western Branch of DuPage River, which eventually leads into the DuPage River itself. Because Zebra Mussels, known as Dreissena polymorpha, have inhibited the body of water, they are negatively affecting the organisms that reside in this water. Dreissena polymorpha, is known to be toxic because in order it for to live, it must attach itself to a hard object. The Zebra Mussel filters the toxins out of the water, and as they accumulate inside its body, once its predator consumes the Zebra Mussel, those toxins are released into the predator’s body. Furthermore, the monofilament recycling bin is also present with instructions on how to keep the water less contaminated with fishing line, and this can go very far in preventing the fish getting tangled up. The fact that there are notices posted all over for the general public, shows that environmental action is being taken seriously especially on actions that are easy yet crucial to do.

Officer Jessica Berry, second from left, was recognized for being voted Officer of the Year by her peers and being awarded with the Fort Bend County 2012 Mothers Against Drunk Driving Award. She is pictured with, from left to right: Asst. Police Chief Mike Berezin, Capt. Dwayne Williams and Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald.
Berry, who said "it is very humbling" to receive the Officer of the Year Award, is a native of Pennsylvania, a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania and of the University of Houston Downtown Police Academy. "I am very blessed to work for a department that provides me with the support and training necessary to achieve my goals," she said. "The officers I work with are always willing to assist me and the administration provides me with every opportunity they can to help me succeed."
Patrol Division Commander, Capt. Dwayne Williams, cited her ability to "consistently lead not only her shift, but the entire department in self-initiated activity, including field investigations, traffic contacts and arrests," he said. "She always displays a positive and refreshing attitude at work toward her fellow employees and the citizens she serves."
In addition to be honored by City Council, Berry also received a special recognition at the second annual Police Awards Ceremony held on May 18. When presenting Berry a plaque, Dave Anderson with the Southeast Chapter of Texas Mothers Against Drunk Driving said: "This region of Texas, which includes ten counties, is still known as the drunk driving capital of the United States, so anytime we have the opportunity to recognize an officer who makes a large number of DWI arrests, we are pleased to do so."
Detective Terry Patrick, who joined the Missouri City police force in 2002, was honored during a recent City Council meeting for receiving the Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast District Exchange Club Officer of the Year award for his "dedication and tenacity pursuing every possible investigative lead associated with the criminals cases he his assigned." Patrick was credited with solving 11 burglaries in the past year. Patrick celebrated his honor with his family and Chief Joel Fitzgerald, far left, Assistant Chief Mike Berezin, far right, and Capt. John Bailey.
Det. Patrick was honored by the Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast District Exchange Club for his "dedication and tenacity pursuing every possible investigative lead associated with the criminals cases he was assigned."
Patrick said "to be nominated and selected is a great honor and achievement. Anytime a Missouri City citizen has been a victim of a crime, I take great pleasure in locating and arresting the bad guy. I want our citizens to feel safe in our city and to know that we will always do our best to help them in any way possible." He also received a special recognition at the second annual Police Awards Ceremony held on May 18.
Criminal Investigation Division Commander, Capt. John Bailey, pointed out a case in which Patrick had only a partial license plate as evidence against a burglary suspect. Bailey said "after two days searching through hundreds of license plates in two databases, Detective Patrick was able to locate and arrest the suspect, who was already on probation for burglarizing several homes."
Patrick graduated from Lamar University in Beaumont and the Lamar University Police Academy.
Other officers honored during the second annual Police Awards Ceremony were:
