Cockroaches are one of the oldest groups of insects, indicating how successful they have been in adapting to changes in their environments. One reason for this success may be related to diet--they are scavengers and will eat anything organic. They prefer food sources such as starches, sweets, grease and meat products, but other items may include cheese, beer, leather, glue, hair, starch in book bindings, flakes of dried skin or decaying organic matter (plant or animal).
Cockroaches are attracted to warm, moist environments. They spend the daylight hours in dark, secluded sites under refrigerators, stoves, false bottoms in kitchen cabinets, in the backs of cabinets and in crevices between baseboards and floors or cabinets and walls. They may also be found behind pictures or within electronic equipment. A number of these openings will ultimately lead to voids in the stud walls. The insects leave these sites at night to forage for food and water. The presence of cockroaches during the day may indicate a large population.
There are about 3,000 species of cockroaches in the world and about 50 occur in the United States. Of these 50 species, the three most common in the Northeast are the German cockroach, the American cockroach and the brownbanded cockroach.
German Cockroach: Blattella germanica
The German cockroach is 12 to 17 mm (1/2 to 5/8 inch) long, tan to light brown, and has two dark brown stripes on the body region (pronotal shield) just behind the head. Females will produce four to eight egg capsules during their lifetime, with each capsule containing approximately 40 eggs. The egg capsule is retained by the female until the eggs are ready to hatch, usually in 28 to 30 days. | German cockroaches are widespread and can be found in homes, restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes or apartments. Within these areas, the cockroaches prefer sites close to moisture and food, making them common pests in kitchens, bathrooms and food-storage areas. Of the cockroaches which infest structures, the German cockroach is probably found more frequently than other species.
American Cockroach: Periplaneta americana
The American cockroach is one of the largest cockroaches in the Northeast. It is about 40 mm (1.5 inches) long with a reddish-brown body. The center portion of the pronotal shield is light brown, while the outer edges are yellow. Even though both sexes are winged, their flight is more of a gliding movement from point to point than active flight. | The female American cockroach will not retain the egg capsule for more than a day after its formation, instead dropping the capsule in some suitable site. Under some conditions it may be glued to a surface. The number of capsules produced by a female will range from 6 to 14, with each capsule containing 14 to 16 eggs. The eggs hatch in 50 to 55 days.
The American cockroach prefers dark, moist sites where it feeds on decaying organic matter. Such sites include basements, kitchens, clothes hampers, drains, bathroom plumbing or sewers. High populations have been known to develop in sewers, from where they infest households or other structures.
Brownbanded Cockroach: Supella longipalpa
The brownbanded cockroach is 12 mm (1/2 inch) long, light brown, and has two lighter colored bands running across the body. These bands are located at the base of the wings and on the abdomen. The bands are much darker during the immature stages. The brownbanded female carries the egg capsule for 24 to 48 hours before gluing it to a surface. The capsule contains approximately 18 eggs that hatch in 50-74 days. An adult female produces about 18 egg capsules over a life-span of 10 months. | The brownbanded cockroach requires less moisture than other cockroaches. It is more prevalent in homes, apartments, hotels and hospital rooms than in restaurants or stores. Evidence of this cockroach may be found behind pictures, in furniture, the underside of chairs and tables, upper kitchen cabinets or the upper shelves of closets and pantries. The brownbanded cockroach often infests electrical appliances such as radios, televisions, telephones and computers.
Cockroach Control:
Identification:
Identification of the infesting cockroach is crucial to successful management. Knowledge of the preferences and habitats of each species will help to provide more accurate and effective control.
Sanitation:
Anything that can be done to eliminate the sources of food and water for the cockroaches from the home environment will help in their control: * Do not allow dirty dishes to accumulate in the sink and remain there overnight. * Keep food scraps in the refrigerator or in containers with tight-fitting lids. * If pets are in the home, keep the pet food in tightly sealed containers, and do not allow food to remain in the bowls overnight. Feed only what the animal will eat at the time of feeding. * Remove garbage from the home on a routine basis. Keep outside containers covered, especially at night. * Periodically check and clean the evaporation pan under the refrigerator or freezer. * A critical point may be the area between the stove and cabinet, where grease and food scraps often accumulate. Pull the stove out periodically and clean thoroughly. Trapping:
Cockroach traps are containers (available in various shapes) open on both ends and with adhesive surfaces on the inside. The traps may or may not include a food attractant. As the cockroach enters the box, it becomes trapped in the adhesive. Proper placement is essential! Cockroaches move from point to point along lines where vertical and horizontal planes meet. This may be where the floor and wall join, it may be where the bottom of a drawer meets the side of the drawe, or where a shelf joins the wall of a cabinet. Place traps flush to the wall, as even a small gap between the trap and wall allows the cockroach to bypass the trap.
In single-family homes in the Northeast, sanitation should be adequate to eliminate and prevent cockroach infestations. If the above control options are not sufficient, several treatment methods are available, including baits, insecticides and dusts.
Baits:
Cockroach baits contain an insecticide (or pathogen) plus an ingredient to attract the cockroach. Baits are packaged as easy-to-use containers which are placed in areas of known cockroach activity. Insecticides available as baits are hydramethylnon (Combat), sulfluramid (Raid Max) and avermectin (Roach Ender).
Insecticides:
Insecticides give the best control when applied under objects (refrigerators and stoves), along lines where shelving meets walls (top and bottom), in the backs of the cabinets, behind pictures (depending on species) and as crack and crevice treatments. Remove dishes, cookware and foods from cabinets before treatments; return after the spray has dried. There are many products readily available for this purpose.
Dusts: These compounds are harder to use but give long-lasting control. Boric acid is the only available material in this category. It should be applied to cracks, crevices and wall voids as well as under stoves, refrigerators and in the backs of cabinets. It should be applied as a thin film--do not apply in piles or a thick coat.

...Ever since the beginning of man in Literature there has been a discussion over appearance vs. reality. The appearance of the apple to Eve was one that it would give her great wisdom as to that of the gods. In reality it did give her wisdom, but with that also came the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The appearance of the apple was good but the outcome was bad so was marriage in the 19th century. In Henrik Ibsen’s play "A Doll's House," where a man treats his wife with inferiority and where to him appearance of things is as water is to life, various symbols are used to express a theme. Three symbols used, a Christmas tree, the title, and the nicknames that Torvald calls Nora emphasize the theme of a comparison of perfect marriage relationship to the reality of their relationship that is an artificial " Doll's house" relationship. Ibsen’s use of a Christmas tree is used throughout the play epitomizes Nora's feelings. In the first act there is a festive tree with "pretty red flowers" and Nora comes into the house acting frivolously. Both tree and the Helmers look very happy. Nora's mood is festive and the tree gives a merry glow to the reader. In the end of Act I, Krogstad has threatened Nora that if she doesn't help him keep his job he will tell Torvald of their illegal loan. Torvald has said that Krogstad "has forged someone's name" so Torvald is going to fire him so in Act II, the tree is "stripped of its ornaments and with burnt down candle-ends." In this act the tree is...

...n the United States, women choose to end about 25% of their pregnancies through abortion. (www.gale.com) This number has been gradually declining since 1979. This is similar to the Canadian figure of 21% but is much lower than that of the former Soviet Union (60%) and Romania (78%) where contraceptives are in short supply. (Newsweek Sept. 22, 1997, Pg.18) Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote about adultery in The Scarlet Letter, but the "A" word these days is abortion. People often break off friendships, ostracize each other, and are intolerant of others having different opinions on this subject. This is sad, because we can all learn from each other.

Be aware that some of the following material is personal opinion, although you will also find a lot of information (including links).(www.gale.com) For thousands of years of western civilization, abortion was generally illegal after "quickening" (the point at about four months into pregnancy when a baby kicks). This tradition can be traced back at least to the Ancient Greeks. In his book "Politics," Aristotle said that "the line between lawful and unlawful abortion will be marked by the fact of having sensation and being alive."

...Pleicetocene radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously. The half-life of a radioactive isotope is a characteristic of that isotope and is not affected by any change in physical or chemical conditions. Radiometric dating (often called radioactive dating) is a technique used to date materials, usually based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.

...108 Alipato High School Students’ Reasoning Skills and Their Study Habits and Attitude Towards Learning Maricris B. Acido Introduction A major task of education programs is to come up with guidelines and tools to enable students to learn effectively. This is to ensure that students are able to acquire skills for them to carry out their academic and problem solving tasks. UNESCO acknowledges that: On the eve of a new century, there is an unprecedented demand for and a great diversification in… education, and for building the future, for which the younger generations will need to be equipped with new skills, knowledge, and ideals (UNESCO, 1998). The profusion of knowledge and information has led to an increase in the number of issues that students need to resolve inside and outside the school. Knowledge explosion also demands prudence and careful discernment from students who are to choose more relevant and sound data. This would require the acquisition of reasoning skills that would enable them to filter relevant information from irrelevant ones. Reasoning involves providing arguments, premises, justification, and evidence to claims or positions. However, acquisition of reasoning skills requires much from students. It requires good study habits and positive attitudes, as well as good contextual reinforcers and influences. Many educators have noted that learning is dynamic and that it does not occur in a vacuum. Learning happens due to various factors and influences. ...

...Byronic Hero Romantic poet Lord Byron (George Gordon) is credited with the development of prototypical anti-hero, referred to as the Byronic hero. Like Childe Harold in Byron’s popular Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, the Byronic hero is a larger-than-life, but flawed character who would be considered, by traditional standards, to be a rebel. Typically, the Byronic hero: * Exhibits conflicting emotions and excessive moodiness; * Is passionate about a particular issue; * Can be introspective and critical of himself; * Struggles with his own sense of integrity; * Operates largely within his own set of rules; * Rejects accepted codes and norms of society; * Is fiercely independent and strongly individual; * Is a loner (whether imposed by society or self-imposed); * Displays a respect for rank and privilege; * Has a troubled or mysterious past; * Can be cynical, demanding, and arrogant; * Exhibits self-destructive tendencies and behavior; This hyper-sensitive loner, obsessively following a quest – which, being a Romantic Quest, is doomed to failure – usually ends up dead at the end of his story, either as the unintended consequence of the hero’s own choices and actions, or as a conscious choice. Gatsby’s quest for Daisy, the uncertainty surrounding how he amassed so vast a fortune so quickly, his aloofness around everyone except the Object of his Quest, the fact that it is not enough that Daisy love him but that she must also declare...

...#8, Cabugao Dayanara Rose Ticlao ARC2 9:00 am – 11:00 am CTHM 2H3 Asst. Prof. Robinson V. Laxa What is Arnis? Arnis is also known as kali, escrima, baston. It is the best known and the most systematic fighting art in the Philippines. The origin of the term ‘Kali’ is uncertain, the word ‘Eskrima’ and ‘Arnis’ are of Spanish origin “ Esgrima” which means fencing, and Arnis meaning “armour”.Consequently, practitioners of this style are referred to as Arnisadores,  Eskrimadores  or Kalistas. Before I took up arnis, I asked my self about the reason of taking it. Initially it was for self defense, but now it was more a philosophical reason. Arnis is really focused on techniques. So while it can benefit me physically, it’s really about self defense. At this age, 18, I really expect to have many encounters where I need to defend myself. Also the fact that I am studying in Manila, I know I really need to know some techniques for me to protect myself. It is nice to know that I would be able to protect myself and my family if needed with this simple knowledge about arnis. But I guess really the philosophical part comes not directly from knowing how to disarm and subdue an opponent, but from more of the indirect aspects. Arnis forces you to focus so course it will help you to improve...
