This document provides guidance on detecting and treating bed bugs. It describes bed bugs as small, oval, reddish-brown insects that feed on blood. Signs of an infestation include spotting live or dead bugs, red stains from droppings, and eggs attached near beds. It recommends implementing regular inspection protocols, such as weekly checks of sheets and mattresses and quarterly examinations of furniture, to detect bed bugs early before they spread. If found, items should be sealed in bags and laundered or dried at high heat, and professional treatment may be necessary using heat or freezing to eradicate any infestation.

A short guide to scabies treatment 2016Mike Chapman
Scabies is caused by infestation of the tiny burrowing mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. They enter your skin, form burrows and leads to intense itching. Moreover, the urge to scratch turns stronger at night. It is highly contagious and can spreads easily through close physical contact. Regardless of age, gender and race, it can happen to anyone.
However, it can be treated by right medication. A number of natural, homeopathic and several other medicines are available, which are capable of curing this itchy skin disorder
Bed bugs can be found almost anywhere in the world but they are very hard to detect especially in the first stage of infestation. Sometimes, your only hope of detecting the presence of bed bugs is through a bed bug symptom. http://helpfulforhomes.com/how-to-check-for-signs-and-symptoms-of-bed-bugs/

Evicting Bed Bugs: Strategies to Keep Bed Bugs off Your Tenant ListOrkin
Originally presented by Orkin Director of Technical Services Dr. Ron Harrison and IPM Institute of North America President Dr. Thomas Green at the 2010 National Apartment Association Education Conference, this presentation is designed for property managers and other apartment staff that want to know more about bed bugs in the multifamily space.
Within the past few decades, the global prevalence of the bed bug has skyrocketed from being virtually nonexistent to being one of the most problematic pests in the world. There are no exact figures on the number of people affected by this pest, but it is estimated that there are over 100 million cases of bed bugs in the U.S. alone. A lot of this can be attributed to their ability to quickly adapt to their surroundings. They are also resistant to most pesticides, resulting in increased infestations in areas where they are not treated. Because of this, they are frequently found in hotels, nursing homes, and other places where they are not regularly checked for pests. The nvironment they thrive in makes them more likely to come into contact with other organisms.

Bed bugs have spread prolifically in recent years, and as public buildings, libraries can be especially vulnerable. The internet is full of suggestions and remedies on how to kill bed bugs, but there are only a few select ways of being sure they have been fully eradicated. In this webinar, you’ll learn about prevention techniques and treatments that are safe for your collections.
Find everything you need to know about bed bugs in this complete guide. With everything from bed bug biology and behavior to tips on preventing bed bug infestations, this is your go-to guide for bed bugs.
How easy we find it to push aside or forget a near miss incident. This is because of our ability to rationalize that nothing serious happened. But if we took the time and closely investigated each near miss, we would find a message telling us there’s much more to it.

The taste of food and beverages can be dictated by the cleanliness of your water. Issues such as sediment, chlorine and hardness are often to blame but can be easily prevented.
Each day in the U.S., accidents involving ladders cause an estimated 2,000 injuries requiring emergency medical attention and 1 death per day. Keep yourself and your workers safe by reviewing safety measures before you make your next climb.
Many work situations routinely rely upon chemicals to get the work done. But just as important as the safe handling of these chemicals, is their safe storage. If not stored properly, chemicals can cause a fire, explosion or personal injury. In order to prevent workplace chemical-related accidents, facilities must follow common sense and real safe storage procedures.
Your hands are the most important tool you have. Still each year over 16 million people suffer hand injuries from industrial related accidents. Over 250,000 of these injuries are serious and often disabling injuries. This represents 25% of all industrial injuries.
With all of the reminders out there, it’s hard to forget to change your clocks when Daylight Saving Time (DST) rolls around. Use this as a reminder to do these safety checks, too!

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
Bed Bug Prevention Playbook
1. A guide to early detection and
treatment
Bed Bug Prevention Playbook
2. Detection: Know What to Look For
• Detection goes hand in hand
with the treatment and
ultimately the prevention of
bed bugs.
• Knowing what bed bugs look
like and the signs of their
presence is key to identifying
these pesky pests.
3. What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
• Their bodies are of a
flattened oval shape and
reddish brown in color.
• These wingless insects
can grow up to ¼ of an
inch, but are usually about
the size of an apple seed.
4. Signs of a Bed Bug Invasion
• Direct observation of
bed bugs (dead or alive)
• Red or brown colored
stains from droppings
• Eggs attached to
surfaces in or around the
bed area
Colony of bed bugs nestle into
the side of a mattress
Dried blood and fecal matter
left by bed bugs
5. The Next Step: Create a
Bed Bug Protocol
• Implement a system for bed bug
detection to help prevent a building-wide
infestation.
• Incorporate weekly, monthly, and
quarterly inspections into the staff’s
cleaning routine to isolate a bed bug
presence before it spreads.
6. Weekly Checks
• Survey for evidence of
stains or eggs when
changing sheets.
• Inspect the edge of
the mattress and
mattress cover.
8. Quarterly Checks
• Thoroughly examine
potential harborage
locations.
• Inspect areas such as:
furniture, sofas, chairs,
headboards, baseboards,
and behind pictures.
9. So You Found a Bed Bug.
What Now?
• Dispose of any items that have harbored bed
bugs by securing them in heavy duty bags
and sealing them with duct tape. Then
adhere to normal waste removal procedures.
• Any items that can be laundered should be
washed with detergent at the highest
temperature setting.
• Dry in the highest heat to kill any lingering
eggs.
10. Treating Bed Bugs
• In some cases, professional help may be
required.
• Pest management professionals can use
special heating and freezing equipment to
eradicate bed bugs in an infested area.
11. Beyond the Bugs
• Although they are not known to transmit
any diseases, their painful bites are
certainly an annoyance.
• In addition to being a nuisance to
guests, they also can have a detrimental
impact on an organization's image.
• Bed bugs are on the rise, and the only way
to beat the bug is to stay two steps ahead
of them.
