This tiger is the most recently recognized subspecies and the national animal of Malaysia. Until a few years ago it was considered the same subspecies as the Indochina tiger, but based on the genetic analysis it was discovered that they are different. Panthera tigris jacksoni emerged as a subspecies in 2004. Its scientific name comes from the tiger conservationist Peter Jackson, in honour of his years of work for tigers. but in the Malay language, it is called Harimau or just Rimau.
Malayan tiger has orange-colored body covered with black stripes. White fur can be seen around eyes, on the cheeks and belly. Black stripes are thinner compared with stripes of other tigers and they provide perfect camouflage in the jungle.
So what has caused this massive decline in Malayan Tigers in Malaysian rain forest? The prime reason is hunting of tigers. Hunting is the biggest cause of the decline of not just the Malayan tigers but tigers worldwide. In Malaysia, tigers are hunted for the use of medication. This maybe surprising, but now there are probably more tigers on the shelves of pharmacies and medicine stores in Malaysia than in forests, as tigers are widely hunted for us in traditional Chinese medicine. For more than 1,000 years the use of tiger parts has been included in the traditional Chinese medicine regimens. This is because ancient Chinese culture believes that tigers have medicinal qualities because of the tiger’s strength and mythical power hence every part of the tiger is used to cure diseases. For example, their teeth are believed to be bits of help to treat chronic ailments and cure high fever. Even their whiskers are used to cure toothaches. Tiger bones are believed to contain high medicinal properties and are popular on the black market. Some even consume tiger meat as they think it would cure disease and replenish the body’s essential energy. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove this claim.
Animal poaching and illegal tradings are the other two reasons why tigers are endangered in Malaysia and across the globe. This happens simply because of the greediness of some and the ignorance of others. Malayan tigers are poached due to the high demand for products made from tiger parts. A key aspect of tiger product demand is that the wealth of the buyer which tends to drive the demand, rather than the poverty of the sellers and traders. According to Walker’s World of the Mammals, tiger skin could sell for about $16,880. According to the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Networks (TRAFFIC) , Malayan Tigers products are used for a wide variety of purposes and it is also seen as a status symbol across many parts of Asia. Another key factor, to decline in Malayan Tiger population is deforestation. Malaysia is the home to one of biggest and richest rain forest in the world which is the Borneo forest. However, which the heights of globalization and industrialization most of the precious forests in Malaysia are chopped down to build houses, malls and so on. According to Global Forest Map, Malaysia has the world’s largest deforestation rate . Last year alone, 47,278 square kilometers which are equivalent to 18,244 square miles an area larger than Denmark was chopped down. This directly affects wildlife as the forest is the home. So, loss of habitat and lack of food contributes to the lack of tigers in Malaysian rain forest.
Fines for wildlife crime were increased under the previous government - to a maximum 100,000 Malaysian ringgits ($23,884) and/or a three-year prison term.more stringent laws in relation to the illegal wildlife trade are currently with the attorney general's chambers and should be introduced to Parliament.Penalties will be designed to ensure a deterrent effect and put those in the illegal wildlife trade on notice that Malaysia is taking the crime seriously.
Between 1991 and 2003, tiger signs were reported from early-succession vegetation fields, agricultural areas outside forests in Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, and Johor, and many riparian habitats outside forests in Pahang, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Johor. Most of the major rivers that drain into the South China Sea had some evidence of tigers, those draining into the Straits of Malacca in the west did not.
In September 2014 two conservation organisations announced that a camera trap survey of seven sites in the three separate habitats from 2010 to 2013 had produced an estimate of the surviving population from 250 to 340 healthy individuals, with a few additional isolated small pockets probable. According to the report, the decline meant that the species might have to be moved to the "Critically Endangered" category in the IUCN list. As of 2019, due to poaching and the depletion of prey, the number of tigers in Belum-Temengor Forest Reserve has declined about 60% over a period of 7–8 years, from approximately 60 to 23.
The Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT) is "an alliance of non-governmental organisations comprising the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), Traffic Southeast Asia, Wildlife Conservation Society-Malaysia Programme and WWF-Malaysia.It also includes the Department of Wildlife and National Parks.
Note: International Tiger Day July 29th has been held every year since 2010 when it was first created at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit. This was done to raise awareness of the decline of wild tiger numbers, leaving them on the brink of extinction and to encourage the celebration around the important work of Tiger conservation.
In 2007, they implemented a hotline to report tiger-related crimes, such as poaching.In order to deter poaching, they organize "Cat Walks", a citizen patrol in danger zones.MYCAT has a goal of increasing the tiger population. Throughout 2008, Perhilitan’s game rangers carried out 174 operations and destroyed some 1,000 tiger traps and snares. “Most of the snares set up by poachers are of the wire type where it can endanger not only the big cats but other animals that pass through the spot,” “From early January 2009 until today, Team Ronda and Perhilitan have destroyed 114 tiger traps installed by poachers at the areas fringing Tasik Temenggor and Belum Forest Reserve
The Malayan Tiger is a carnivore and an accomplished hunter.
They generally feast on wild boar, deer, and the sun bear. If there are baby elephants that are weak, sick
or otherwise vulnerable, they will also seize the opportunity to capture one of these.The tiger may only make
a kill once every three or four days so, when it has killed its prey, it is likely to eat as much of it as
possible in one meal.
Due to a smaller habitat than before, and the need for food, some of these tigers have taken to consuming livestock. This has created some ongoing issues with humans that are going to kill the tigers in an effort to preserve their investment in ranching.
Tigers are solitary, except for mating season. Females will only be with offspring. Loose female territorial boundaries blur. Male Tigers have large, defended territories that over-lap several female territories. Gestation is about 3 ½ months and 3 or 4 altricial cubs are born, each weighing about 2 pounds. They are totally dependent on the mother for 18 months, usually staying in her range for 2 ½ years. They reach sexual maturity by 3 – 4 years of age. Longevity in the wild is to 15 years, with captive animals living to 20 years.


Today, we're going to talk about a topic that's close to my heart: the role of nature in mental health. With our modern, fast-paced lifestyles, it's easy to forget the importance of connecting with the Earth and the therapeutic impact it can have on our wellbeing. But fear not, we're here to explore the concept of ecotherapy and how it can help us heal and find balance in our lives.
What is Ecotherapy?
Ecotherapy, also known as green therapy or nature therapy, is an emerging form of therapy that aims to improve mental health by encouraging a connection with nature. It's based on the idea that spending time in natural environments can have a profound impact on our emotional, psychological, and physical wellbeing.
Research has shown that exposure to nature can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while also increasing feelings of happiness and tranquillity. It's no wonder then that ecotherapy is gaining popularity as a way to help people cope with the challenges of modern life.
Why Nature is Essential for Mental Health
Our innate connection to nature is known as "biophilia," which suggests that we have a natural affinity towards living systems. This means that when we're disconnected from nature, we may experience a range of negative emotions and health issues.
There are a few key reasons why nature is so important for our mental health:
Stress reduction: Natural settings, like forests, parks, and gardens, can help reduce stress by lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This can lead to improved mood, better focus, and a greater sense of calm.
Physical activity: Spending time outdoors often involves physical activity, such as walking, hiking, or gardening. Exercise has been proven to improve mental health and wellbeing, so combining it with the benefits of nature is a win-win.
Social connections: Participating in group activities in natural environments can foster a sense of community and belonging, which is essential for mental health.
Mindfulness: Being in nature encourages us to be present in the moment and engage our senses, promoting mindfulness and a deeper connection with our surroundings.
The Research Behind Ecotherapy:
Stress reduction: A study conducted by the University of Michigan found that spending time in nature can help lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Participants who took a 20-minute walk in a natural setting experienced a significant reduction in cortisol levels compared to those who walked in an urban environment (Berman, Jonides, & Kaplan, 2008).
Anxiety and depression: Research by Dr. Roger S. Ulrich, a pioneer in the field of environmental psychology, demonstrated that exposure to natural environments can alleviate anxiety and depression. In one study, participants who viewed nature scenes for 10 minutes experienced a significant decrease in anxiety levels and improved mood (Ulrich, 1984).
Happiness and wellbeing: A large-scale study by the University of Exeter found that individuals living in greener urban areas reported higher levels of mental wellbeing and life satisfaction (White et al., 2013). Similarly, a study from Stanford University found that people who walked for 90 minutes in a natural setting experienced reduced activity in the area of the brain associated with negative thoughts, suggesting that nature can improve mood and happiness (Bratman et al., 2015).
Attention Restoration Theory (ART): This theory, developed by environmental psychologists Rachel and Stephen Kaplan, posits that exposure to nature can help restore our ability to focus and concentrate. Natural environments are filled with "soft fascinations," such as rustling leaves or flowing water, which capture our attention without overwhelming our cognitive capacity. This allows our minds to rest and recover from the constant demands of modern life (Kaplan, 1995).
These are just a few examples of the growing body of research supporting the benefits of ecotherapy and the role of nature in promoting mental health. By incorporating nature into our lives, we can tap into these powerful effects and foster a greater sense of wellbeing.
How to Incorporate Ecotherapy into Your Life
Now that we know the benefits of ecotherapy, let's explore some practical ways to incorporate it into our daily lives:
Take regular walks in nature: Whether it's a stroll through a park or a hike in the woods, make an effort to get outside and immerse yourself in nature regularly. Try to make it a part of your routine, like a morning or evening walk.
Gardening: Gardening can be a therapeutic activity that not only connects you with nature but also provides a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Plus, it's a great way to get some fresh air and exercise.
Join a nature-based group or club: Look for local groups or clubs that organize outdoor activities, such as hiking, bird-watching, or conservation projects. This can help you connect with like-minded individuals and strengthen your bond with nature.
Bring nature indoors: If you can't get outside as often as you'd like, bring some greenery into your living space with houseplants or a small indoor garden. This can help improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere in your home.
Practice mindfulness in nature: Find a quiet spot in nature where you can sit and practice mindfulness. Focus on your breath, listen to the sounds around you, and let your senses take in the beauty of your surroundings.
Grounding or earthing: This practice involves standing or walking barefoot on natural surfaces like grass, sand, or soil. Grounding is believed to help balance the body's electrical charge and reduce inflammation, stress, and pain. Spend a few minutes each day connecting with the Earth by walking or standing barefoot outdoors.
Remember, taking the time to connect with nature is not only a way to recharge your batteries but also a powerful tool for improving your mental health.

How often do you catch yourself walking outside, on a mission to get to your destination, without a glance at your surroundings? Have you paused to wonder how that wildflower started growing, or what will happen to that plastic bottle lying on the ground? ClearWaterKids Challenge brings young viewers closer to nature – directly onto a working farm, in fact – showing them first-hand how much fun the environment can be.
This entertaining and engaging show encourages and stimulates kids to explore and interact with nature, inspiring them to discover new ways of living as they learn from the natural world. Kid hosts Ava and Ari help kids understand the importance of each part of the complex ecosystems throughout the natural world.
ClearWaterKids Challenge wants to empower kids to tap into their natural curiosity and learn all about how to become more environmentally conscious, through fun, easy-to-adopt habits and projects that can be done right from the comfort of their homes. Kids are invited to “think like nature” and be more mindful about the ways in which their actions can impact the environment.
An important aspect of ClearWaterKids Challenge is that viewers are taught positive and fun solutions, rather than having the episodes focus on negative messaging and what they might be doing ‘wrong’, as this may discourage youngsters from feeling like they can contribute to global health and environmental wellbeing.
This helps keep the focus on the importance and wonder of the environment, while helping kids form a cooperative relationship with nature, and learn from it.
Jennifer McCann, VP Kids & Family at Shaftesbury, says,
“Change begets change. When young viewers are exposed to the contributions that others like them are making, it ignites a whole new group of changemakers to roll up their sleeves and play a role in protecting the planet. Even if their contributions are small, they are always mighty. ClearWaterKids Challenge emphasizes a hopeful, fun, and creative way of helping kids cultivate a more mindful, sustainable lifestyle.”
On the production side, there is a focus on maintaining and expressing the values and guiding principles that the farm operates under. Communicating the ideas of deep respect for nature, and the cyclical patterns of life were a way for the series to exemplify these ideals.
- No plastic bottles were allowed on set during the production of season 2; cast and crew were asked to bring their own reusable water bottles and coffee mugs.
- During season 2 production, a local caterer was hired when filming at ClearWater Farm, supporting the local community and reducing carbon emissions. While filming in the city for season 2, a green caterer was hired and the menu was primarily vegetarian. The same caterer was hired for season 3 – which was filmed during the pandemic – due to their safety protocols and green practices.
- Producers tried to minimize prop purchases by choosing locations with pre-existing props and crew bringing some props from home. Any props that were purchased were either given to cast and crew or donated. The cast also got to keep the clothing from the shoot so it would be reused.
- All scripts were sent to cast and crew electronically, and only printed for those who needed/requested scripts.
- Crew members were encouraged to carpool during production to reduce carbon emissions.
ClearWaterKids Challenge was filmed on a real-life working farm (ClearWater Farm) that works closely with the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. The relationship is symbolized by the 200+ year old maple tree overlooking the lake where settlers and First Nations gathered to trade.
Producers want to leave kids with this message: one of the most important things you can do is get outside and into nature! Build a relationship with it and realize and understand that everything is connected. Even saying “get out into nature” means we think of nature as separate from us, but let’s fix that! When you build a relationship with the natural world, your awareness and understanding of the power of sustainability and positive change will grow and grow and grow!

We offer a wide variety of year round services
There is something about a clean, uniformly cut lawn that says you care about your yard. Whether it is a commercial or residential lawn we at The Perfect Cut will give your lawn a professional appearance. We do this by weed eating around all landscaped areas, give your lawn a pattern like look such as a professional baseball field or golf course would and finally blow off all hard surfaces. We operate a fleet of Toro commercial grade mowers that leaves our work a cut above the rest.
Lawn Fertilizer & Weed Control
Lawns need to be fertilized periodically throughout the growing season. In Wisconsin with cool season grasses there are two key growth periods. The first one is in the spring from April-June which is 2/3 of the annual growth and then second growth is in the fall from August to October which is 1/3 of annual growth.
Fertilizations should be made at eight to ten week intervals throughout the growing season. This timeframe is reliant however on the weather conditions.
The Perfect Cut has a 4-step fertilizer program that focuses on strengthening your lawn and developing a strong root system that allows your lawn to recover more quickly in the spring. The first application applied will have a seasonal fertilizer along with a pre-emergent crabgrass control. This application needs to be applied before the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees FIVE consecutive days. Once that occurs the crabgrass seeds are in full germination and become more difficult to control.
4-Step Fertilizer Program:
Application #1 (April-May)
Slow release granular seasonal fertilizer with pre-emergent crabgrass control.
Application #2 (May- June)
Slow release granular seasonal fertilizer. We will also be spraying a liquid weed spot control if troublesome weeds are present. This application will add potassium to your lawn to help build up the roots to prepare it for dormancy in the dry summer months.
Application #3 (August-September)
Granular seasonal fertilizer will be applied and weed control as needed. This will continue to feed your lawn the nutrients needed to keep a strong and healthy lawn after the drought period.
Application #4 (October-November)
Granular fertilizer designed to provide your lawn with the necessary nutrients to last through the winter, green-up your lawn in spring and will build up a strong root system. Additionally liquid weed control will be applied on targeted weeds.
What are the Benefits of Dethatching?
Thatch is a dense mat of roots, stems and grass clippings that accumulates between the soil and growing blades of grass. As thatch builds, adequate amounts of vital turf nutrients, including water, oxygen, nitrates, phosphorus and potassium, are unable to reach the root system.
By dethatching or power raking your lawn it effectively removes thatch build-up. This allows air and nutrients to reach the root system again.
With thatch removed, air, water, nutrients, herbicide and pesticides can do their job. Turf becomes healthier and more resistant to insect damage and disease. Dethatching regularly promotes denser growth that will suffocate weeds and helps to ensure you’ll have a vibrant and lush lawn.
When Do We Dethatch?
The most efficient time to dethatch your lawn will be early spring before you begin to cut your lawn for the year, early April through May.
What are the Benefits of Core Aerating?
Lawn aeration is the secret weapon in making your lawn healthy. Aeration involves making holes in the lawn by extracting a plug of soil. By aerating your lawn you provide the following benefits to your lawn and its root system:
- Oxygen gets to the roots and the soil allowing it to “breathe”
- Organic fertilizers and nutrients get access to the root system
- Water is able to better soak the soil and reach the root system
- Helps to break up thatch
- Tight, compacted soil is loosened up allowing the root system to grow
- Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance
Why is Aeration Necessary?
In most home lawns, the natural soil has been seriously disturbed by the building process.
Fertile topsoil may have been removed or buried during excavation of the basement or footings. Thus, leaving subsoil that is more compact, higher in clay content and less desirable for healthy lawn growth. These lawns need aeration to improve the depth and extent of turf grass rooting and to improve fertilizer and water absorption.
Intensively used lawns are exposed to stress from traffic. Walking playing and mowing are forms of traffic that compact soil and stress lawns. Rain and irrigation increase soil density by compacting soil particles and reducing large air spaces where roots may readily grow.
Aeration helps heavily used lawns and lawns growing on compacted soils improving the depth and extent of turf grass rooting, allowing better water uptake, enhancing fertilizer use, and speeding up thatch breakdown.
When Do We Core Aerate?
The best time to aerate is in late August or through October when the grass is coming out of the summer dormancy. The grass begins to grow at a rapid rate again and there is little competition from weeds. Core aeration should be done at least once a year.
Our spring cleanups begin in March or April, weather permitting. We will remove leaves, branches, and debris from lawns, beds, driveways, walkways, gutters and patios. We prune any broken or dead branches from ornamental trees and bushes. We cut any perennials that have been left from the previous season.
Our fall cleanups are usually done in November when most leaves are down. However we can come as often as you would like throughout the fall season once leaves begin to fall through the end of the season. Cleanups will consist of removing leaves, branches, and debris from lawns, beds, driveways, walkways, gutters and patios. Also, perennials, shrubs, bushes, and hedges will be cut to their specific needs.
We provide this service throughout the entire year. We use a power edger which will clean up any grass that is growing over your sidewalks or driveway.
We install locally produced mulch which is insect and disease free. We will deliver the mulch directly to you and will spread it as well. Before installation we will prepare the beds to address any current weed problems.
Mulch can be used almost anywhere. However, mulch is more useful around tree trunks and around the soil of new plants. Mulching is a very important step in growing a healthy plant. Mulch helps to conserve moisture in the root ball of the new plant until the roots have grown out into the surrounding soil.


EvoClear Water Softener Maintenance
EvoClear is known for its water conditioner and filter systems, technology which is revolutionizing the way we process and drink water. Eliminating the need for bottled water, its filter systems are a one-of-a-kind wonder that can benefit any homeowner—but EvoClear is not done there.
Also available are salt free water softeners, drastically increasing the quality of the water you drink. Hard water can be negatively affected by pipe systems, and also vice versa, which is why softer water is a great help to anyone’s home. An EvoClear salt free water softener can prevent scale deposit inside pipes, keeping them clean and smooth; you will also begin to notice an increase in quality of your regulated temperature water systems, along with any appliance in your house that uses water. In hard water, there is calcium, and this unfortunately may occasionally attach itself onto the insides of pipes, or on any surface. Water softeners prevent this!
Exchanging an old system for new water softener, maintenance of your pipes will be a lot easier. Immediately the new system will cleanse any scale that might have accumulated within the pipes, and you will see an end to white scum and unnecessary decomposition of your appliances. Home systems that employ hard water are much more likely to invoke plumbing problems, due to the deterioration caused by hard water and its calcium. No one likes adding chemicals to their water or their pipes—and with a water softener, you won’t have to. You can also forget about enduring tough cleaning in the bathroom and under the sink; most of it will simply be taken care of for you. Not only are you helping the environment by forsaking plastic water bottles, receiving healthy water, drinking water of the best quality, but you are also reducing the amount of work you have to do (and helping plants, since studies have shown hard water is detrimental to the health of plants).
The water softener maintenance system uses a four stage process, beginning with a pre-filter that will draw out particles in the water (sand, dirt, etc). Any hidden chemicals that may be lurking in your water will be filtered (pesticides, chlorine, and so on). Lime is sent back into the water in an activated state and stabilize, preventing any built-up residue. Calcium carbonate is distributed to the lime crystals, and this leads to clean, healthy pipe systems, something everyone would want.
Are you tired of buying bottled water every week? Has your recycle bin been filling up like crazy? Is the taste of tap water just not doing it, and are you worried about the chemicals that might be hidden in it? With a water softener maintenance system, there are no worries—only clean and delicious water, filtered through EvoClear’s special product and distributed through your tap. The best water in the world is only an arm’s length away, and it doesn’t come in a disposable bottle! It’s new, it’s healthy, and it’s delicious.


Important Information regarding changes to Milford's Flood Hazard Maps
Flood hazard maps designating flood areas for Milford are due to change in the coming year. This change could have a major impact on property owners in Milford, affecting insurance rates, construction requirements, and other standards for more than 3,000 property owners. By learning about these changes ahead of time you may be able to plan for them, including obtaining insurance so that you are grandfathered in at lower insurance rates.
The city held information sessions for affected residents on April 25 and 26. To view the presentations, click the links below:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Why is Milford getting new flood hazard maps?
Flood hazard maps, also known as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), are used to indicate the risk for flooding throughout the community. However, the current maps need to be updated. Over time, water flow and drainage patterns have changed dramatically due to surface erosion, land use and natural forces. The likelihood of flooding in certain areas has changed along with these factors.
This study integrates the most current rainfall, elevation and other key data with the last modeling technology to provide the most up-to-date picture of the area’s flood risk. The result: a better picture of the areas most likely to be impacted by flooding and a better foundation from which to make key decisions.
2. Who is responsible for updating the maps?
This project is part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) effort, which through more accurate flood hazard maps, risk assessment tools, planning and outreach support, will strengthen Milford’s ability to make informed decisions about reducing flood risk and enhance its ability to communicate that risk to residents and business owners.
3. What is a Flood Hazard Map?
Flood hazard maps, also called “Flood Insurance Rate Maps” or “FIRMs” are used to determine the flood risk to your home or business. The moderate- and low-risk zones are represented on FIRMs by the letter “X.” High-risk zones will be labeled with an "AE" and high-risk zones that have additional risk from storm surge will be labeled “VE.” In addition, the map will indicate for a Base Flood Elevation, which is the computed elevation to which floodwater is anticipated to rise during the base flood.
The BFE is the regulatory requirement for the elevation or floodproofing of structures. The relationship between the BFE and a structure's elevation determines the flood insurance premium.
4. What is a floodplain and how do I determine if my property is located in this area?
A floodplain is the part of the land where water collects, pools and flows during the course of natural flood events. Such areas are classified as Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), and are located in a “100-year flood zone.” The term 100-year flood can be misleading. It is the flood elevation that has a 1- percent chance of being equaled or exceeded each year; it is not the flood that will occur once every 100 years. The likelihood of a flood occurring within a 100-year stretch of time is very, very high, but there’s no way to predict when the next flood will occur—or the one after that. The redrawn maps indicate the floodplain as a “high-risk” area, officially classified as an AE or VE zone. Moderate- and low-risk areas will be designated as X zones and shaded X zones on the new maps. If you would like to see a map for a spcific address, or have another question, e-mail us at: email@example.com
5. How will the new flood hazard maps affect me?
Neighborhoods across Milford will be affected differently by these map changes. There will be some properties that aren’t affected—their risk remains the same. Other properties will be mapped into a higher-risk area and/or show a new Base Flood Elevation. Some properties will be mapped into a lower-risk area than before. Altogether, more than 3,000 properties will show some change. Please note that the flood changes may affect a portion of property, and that many properties are in more than one flood zone. Therefore, the only way to completely understand
the impact on your property is to review actual flood maps with a staff member. In addition, even if your zone is not chaning, the Base Flood Elevation may be changing, which has a significant impact on construction standards of the buidling, and whether it is in compliance with existing code.
6. What will happen if my building is remapped from a moderate- or low-risk area to a high-risk area?
If the new maps—once adopted—indicate the building on your property is now at a higher risk for flooding, you will be required to purchase a flood policy if you carry a mortgage from a federally regulated or insured lender. If you do not have a mortgage, it is still recommended that you purchase flood insurance. Over the life of a 30-year loan, there is about a 2 ½ times greater chance of having a flood in your home than having a fire. And most homeowners’ insurance policies do not provide coverage for damage due to flooding.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has extended the low-cost PRP eligibility period for two years to properties newly mapped into a high-risk zone. In addition, there are “grandfathering” rules to recognize policyholders who have built in compliance with the flood map or who maintain continuous coverage.
7. What will happen if my building is remapped from a high-risk to a moderate- or low-risk area?
When a building is remapped into a moderate- or low-risk area, there is no longer a federally mandated requirement to purchase flood insurance. However, the risk has only been reduced, not removed. Flood insurance is still recommended.
Upon the effective date of the new maps, you may be eligible for a lower-cost Preferred-Risk Policy (PRP). Through your insurance agent, you can easily avoid any gaps in your flood coverage and receive a refund of unused premium by converting your existing policy to a PRP back to its last effective date.
8. How might the new flood maps affect me financially?
When new maps become effective, if your building is newly mapped into a high-risk area and you have a mortgage with a federally regulated or insured lender, you will need to purchase flood insurance. If your property is mapped into a moderate-or low-risk area, you are not required by federal law to purchase or maintain insurance, but are strongly encouraged to do so and your lender may still require you to do so. The cost of properly protecting your home and contents from flood damage is far less expensive than the cost to repair or replace it after a flood has occurred.
Through the National Flood Insurance Program, coverage can often be obtained at significant savings. The average cost for a flood insurance policy is around $600 per year. Further, homeowners may qualify for a Preferred Risk Policy that covers both a building and its contents for as little as $129 per year. Coverage for renters starts at just $49 a year. Talk to your insurance agent to determine the appropriate level of protection you need and the money savings options that are available.
9. How can I reduce the cost of flood insurance?
Flood insurance is offered through the National Flood Insurance Program.
Two solutions the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) offers to help lower the cost of flood insurance include Preferred Risk Policies (PRPs) and the Grandfathering Rule.
PRPs, which start at just $129 a year, are only available for properties in moderate-to-low risk areas. However, recognizing the financial burden that being mapped into a high-risk area and having to purchase flood insurance can place on affected property owners, FEMA extended the eligibility period of the low-cost PRP for two years for buildings that have been newly mapped into high-risk flood zones. In general, this cost-saving option is available to property owners whose buildings have a favorable flood loss history and who may or may not have received limited amounts of federal disaster assistance.
The NFIP “Grandfathering” rules recognize policyholders who have built in compliance with the flood map in place at the time of construction or who have maintained continuous coverage. These rules allow such policyholders to benefit in the premium rating for their building. Flood insurance premiums should be calculated using the new map if it results in a lower premium.
Renewal of an Existing Policy
When determining the premium you will pay for flood insurance, an insurance agent will rate your flood insurance policy based on the flood map that is in effect on the date you purchase your policy. Flood insurance policies may then be renewed and still be rated based on the flood map in effect when the policy was initially rated as long as the flood insurance coverage is continuous and the building has not been altered in a manner that would remove this benefit. For example, if the building on the property is currently mapped in an X zone, you could purchase the policy before the flood maps are adopted and keep the lower rate associated with the X zone even after the new flood maps become effective. To help maintain this grandfathering benefit for the next owner, you may transfer the policy to them at the time of sale. An insurance agent can provide you with information about eligibility for the PRP and the PRP Two-Year Eligibility Extension.
Built in Compliance
The NFIP will honor a Grandfather rule for buildings constructed after the first flood map for the community became effective if:
- the building was built in compliance with the flood map in effect at the time of construction; and
- the building has not been substantially damaged or substantially improved.
Under this Grandfather rule, the property owner must provide proper documentation to the insurance company.
- If you wish to keep the zone designation in effect when the building was constructed, you must provide a copy of the flood map effective at the time of construction showing where the building is located or present a letter from a community official verifying this information.
- In general, for buildings constructed in high-risk zones after the community’s first flood map was adopted, your rates are based upon the difference between the flood map’s Base Flood Elevation (BFE) and your building’s elevation. If there is a change in the BFE and keeping the BFE that existed when the building was first constructed gives you a better rate, you must provide the agent with an Elevation Certificate and a copy of the flood map effective at the time of construction. A letter from a community official verifying this information is also acceptable.

10. What if my home or business is mapped into a high-risk area but I believe the designation is in error?
Flood map designations are based on the best data available to engineers and local officials at the time areas within a community are surveyed and assessed. Every effort is made to ensure that the maps reflect the most accurate and reliable information about the flood risk for all properties. However, re-examining and updating flood hazard information for an entire community is often a multi-year process, and you may feel that you have more accurate or current data about your property when new maps are eventually completed and released to the public. Information on the process of ammending the flood zone designation for a property can be found here.
As a mechanism to ensure that residents’ questions or concerns about the new map designations are addressed, a 90-day “Public Comment Period” takes place. During this period, citizens will have the opportunity to submit technical and/or scientific data to support a claim that their property has been improperly placed in a high-risk area. If you have better information, such as an Elevation Certificate, topographic map or detailed hydraulic or hydrologic data, then you may be able to protest or appeal the flood risk indicated on the new maps.
11. When do the new maps become effective?
The maps are still preliminary. The process that leads to final adoption and the maps becoming effective can last as long as a year or more.
Initial release is followed by a short review period by community officials. Then there is a 90-day “Public Comment Period.” For more information on the schedule to update Milford's flood maps see this link:

At Mountain Top Candle Shop in Cookeville, TN, we're more than just a candle company. We're part of a movement for a cleaner, healthier world, starting right in your living room. We believe in the power of small, everyday decisions that can collectively make a significant impact on our health and our environment. That’s why our all-natural candles are handcrafted with care, using a sustainable soy-coconut wax blend, wooden wicks, and only the purest essential oils for fragrance.
Our commitment to non-toxic living extends beyond our candle business and into our own home. Here are some ways we strive to create a healthier living space that you too can incorporate for a non-toxic home.
1. The All-Natural Candle Difference
Traditional candles often contain paraffin, a petroleum byproduct, which releases harmful chemicals when burned. At Mountain Top, our candles are made with a soy-coconut wax blend, a non-toxic and biodegradable alternative. When combined with our wooden wicks, our candles burn cleaner, longer, and more evenly than their paraffin counterparts. Plus, the natural flicker and soft crackle of the wooden wick create an inviting ambiance.
2. The Essential Oil Effect
Artificial fragrances can contain a cocktail of chemicals. We choose to scent our candles with essential oils because they are natural and can offer therapeutic benefits. Not only do they fill your room with a delightful aroma, but also, essential oil candles can enhance your mood, promote relaxation, or even boost energy. From calming lavender to invigorating citrus, our essential oil candles add a touch of nature to your home.
3. Indoor Plants for Better Air Quality
Indoor air quality can often be worse than outdoor air due to the accumulation of pollutants. One simple and beautiful solution? Houseplants! Not only do they add a fresh touch of green, but certain plants also help to filter and clean indoor air. Snake plants, spider plants, and peace lilies are all great options that are also easy to care for.
4. Natural Cleaning Products
Many conventional cleaning products are full of harsh chemicals. Switching to natural alternatives or making your own cleaning solutions using ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils can significantly reduce your exposure to toxins. Not only is this better for your health, but it's also more sustainable and often cheaper too!
5. Mindful Food Choices
While not directly related to candles, the food we consume can be a significant source of toxins. Opting for organic produce and limiting processed foods can make a difference in reducing the chemical load in your body. Plus, shopping local farmers' markets supports the Cookeville community and reduces the environmental impact of food transport.
6. Conscious Consumption
Finally, buying less but better can help decrease toxins in your home. This means choosing products with less plastic packaging, opting for items made with natural materials, and supporting businesses with sustainable practices, like your favorite Cookeville candle shop, Mountain Top!
Making the switch to a non-toxic lifestyle is not an overnight process, but each small change adds up. And remember, every candle we make at Mountain Top is a beacon, lighting the path to healthier living and a cleaner world. Join us on this journey in Cookeville and beyond, one all-natural, essential oil candle at a time!


Incandescent bulbs are on their way out. As of January 1, 2013 the 75 watt light bulb is no longer allowed to be manufactured in, or imported to, the United States.
Retailers are allowed to sell through their existing inventories of 75 watt light bulbs, however. The 75 watt light bulb has now joined the 100 watt light bulb, which was phased out in 2012. 40 watt and 60 watt light bulbs are to be banned in 2014.
The ban of the traditional incandescent light bulb is due to legislation that was adopted by Congress and signed by former President George W. Bush in 2007 in an effort to promote energy efficiency in the United States. The reason? Wasted energy. “90 percent of the energy the bulb uses is wasted,” said Celia Kuperzmid-Lehrman of Consumer Reports. “What they replaced them with are much more energy-efficient bulbs.” Most screw-in bulbs must use at least 27 percent less energy by 2014.
So what are the options left for consumers?
The remaining options for consumers are Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) and Light-Emitting Diode bulbs (LEDs), which use considerably less energy. These options, however, have been met with some resistance.
In regards to CFLs, most people didn’t like them when they first arrived on the scene because they were not as bright as the incandescent bulb(s) they were replacing. Brightness is becoming less of an issue these days, as advancements in the CFL technologies has the blubs producing cleaner, brighter light.
The second reason for resistance, and maybe this should be the first, is the price difference. The new light bulbs are significantly more expensive than the old incandescent version, so you’ll have to shell out more cash up front. The advantages, however, will save the consumer money over time.
EFFICIENCY: CFLs are four times more efficient and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs last up to 10 times as long as compact fluorescent bulbs, and far longer than typical incandescent bulbs.
COST-EFFECTIVE: Although initially more expensive, you save money in the long run because CFLs use 1/3 the electricity and last up to 10 times as long as incandescent bulbs. Although LEDs are initially expensive, the cost is recouped over time and in battery savings. LED bulb use was first adopted commercially, where maintenance and replacement costs are expensive. But the cost of new LED bulbs has gone down considerably in the last few years. and are continuing to go down.

Our sampling sites are installed on supply and distribution mains. We have sampling ports tapped into them that generally employ irrigation fittings. However, I don’t think you should tap into a homeowner’s water service line, as there is significant risk of causing a leak and any water quality issues or water loss on the resident’s side of the water meter are the responsibility of the resident. I strongly doubt that you would get permission from any of the municipalities to install sampling ports on their side of the meter as the risk of cross connection and contamination is significant.
In general, drinking water sampling from the home could be done from a faucet. But recognize that there could be influences between the sample site/faucet and the water flowing in the mains, so a home sample isn’t necessarily representative of the water in the mains. The primary influences I can think of are: pipe material of the service line from the meter to the house; pipes in the house; any home treatment such as filtration or water softeners; stagnant water. Water in the mains is the most representative of the water being served to Greater Victoria.
My suggestions for collecting a representative sample from a home are: sample from the cold water as hot water tanks influence the water due to stagnation and metals/sediment accumulation; remove the aeration screen on the faucet; let the water run until its cold to remove stagnant water; use a lab provided and appropriate sampling container for the tests; follow good sampling technique to reduce the chance of contamination from the sampler or environment.
As for testing, pH is the only somewhat reliable home test that I know of. And pH strips are much less accurate and precise than a lab test. I’ll speak to the parameters in the table below individually, but in general I would absolutely recommend lab testing from a certified lab.
Bacteria – must be done at a lab; the bacteria of interest must be cultured for to see if it’s present in a sample; I have no recommendations because I don’t know the scope of your project and my expertise is in treated drinking water which monitors for bacteria listed in the BC Drinking Water Act & Regulations and the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality
Physical-Chemical – generally considered conventional parameters such as pH, conductivity, alkalinity, turbidity; some of these parameters can be influenced by the household factors I mentioned above
Disinfection by-products – compounds that can form from reactions between the natural organic material in the water and chlorine; generally develop with contact time so we test for those in the further reaches of the system; regulated under the BC Drinking Water Act & Regulations as they can be carcinogenic if ingested in concentrations over the guideline values
Metals – from a drinking water perspective, most metals don’t have human health guidelines but have Aesthetic Objectives (AO) because they cause colour or appearances that are not pleasant – think blue-green staining from copper; lead has a human health Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MAC); metals can be picked up from any pipes that are not plastic PVC so the water in mains is the most representative of what is coming the residents
Parasites – may be present in the raw water; disinfection/treatment processes remove parasites so they will not be present in the treated water
Algal toxins – may be present in the raw water only when there is a cyanobacteria bloom of cyanobacteria species that have the capability of producing toxins; not all toxin producers always produce toxins; blooms are defined by specific criteria based on number of algal cells and species composition; disinfection/treatment process remove cyanotoxin so they will not be present in the treated water
Reporting and Doc Libary
Lastly, I’ve attached here the tables from our 2016 annual report summarizing all the testing we do on the raw and treated water – the 2017 annual report is being written this spring. As you can see, we focus a lot of the contaminants testing on the raw water. The water quality is very similar between the raw and treated water because our treatment processes are fairly simple and conservative. You can also see that the water quality is very stable and there is very little fluctuation seasonally or from year to year.
I hope this helps you sort out your ideas. Have a good weekend!


We began the final day here at SAINO, on a field trip to an organic tomato farm on the island of Ondo Kurahashi in Kure City, Japan. We began the tour by meeting the owner and the team of researchers as they discussed their research on the improvement of tomato growth. We then entered one of their greenhouses and had the chance to see the process they use to grow the tomatoes. They then gave us the chance to taste test their organic tomatoes. They were very delicious and after this, we made our way back to the school and stopped at Cafe Slow. We were able to cook our own food on a grill on the patio of the restaurant. It was a really cool experience to cook your own food and it was also the best meal I have had this whole time. After we ate, all of the students made their way down to the beach where we walked into the ocean and on the rocks to go on an exploration into what was there. We took tons of photos, gathered shells, and played in the water. We then had to leave for the bus and we made our way back to the school. After playing volleyball for the final time, I made my way back home to have okonomiyaki and play with fireworks. Overall, it was a very successful last day and I am not ready to head back to Chicago.


Tourism Institute of East Africa is proud to introduce a Diploma in Wildlife Management & Conservation. While tourism is developing in Africa, there is need to protect and conserve wildlife and nature. Thousands of lions, elephants and other wildlife are killed annually reducing the population of wildlife in Africa. The new wave of Tourism Development is not looking at Sustainable Tourism; rather developers are looking at short-term benefits at the expense of long-term effects on the ecology.
The Diploma in Wildlife Management & Conservation is intended to equip students with practical skills to manage wildlife, but also help conserve nature and the environment where wildlife lives.
We will help you discover how to manage Wildlife and Conservation in any global setting. This Diploma will give you a broad based introduction to wildlife management that can be applied to all types of wildlife around the globe. At Tourism Institute of East Africa, we aim to give you the skills to determine and consider ways in which environments and ecosystems can be protected. Wildlife management is the manipulation of wild animal populations and their habitats for the benefit of both humans and wildlife.
The course establishes sound Wildlife Management skills, practices and knowledge. More importantly the course will help you develop problem solving skills that are respected by employers but, not often found by other graduates on competency based courses. This course will give you a very solid foundation in the principals of Wildlife Management and also, help you to develop your practical skills.

It is a good idea to explore the different categories of water damage for future references. Having the right knowledge of the categories of water will help you at a time when you experience a water damage emergency in your home or office. This particular knowledge will aid you in making the right decisions for restoration and other purposes. Predominantly, there are three categories of water damages referring to its sources and contamination levels. These categories have been broadly classified and defined by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Take a look.
Category 1: Clean Water
Generally speaking, clean water is usually not contaminated at the source, which means, most of the times, it is not harmful if consumed by humans and pets. It is, however, important to note that once the clean water leaves the exit point and comes in contact with other surfaces, then it may not remain clean. So, as soon as you detect water damages in your property, regardless of its type, it is imperative to employ professional help for restoration.
The sources of clean water include, but not limited to are, overflowing tub and sink with no contaminants, appliance malfunctions, and broken toilet tanks and water supply lines.
Category 2: Grey Water
Grey water category contains varied forms of contamination and harmful chemicals that may lead to illness if consumed by humans and pets. Quite indisputably, proper remediation that includes thorough cleaning, drying and dehumidifying of a property is profoundly significant for grey water damages. Get in touch with a professional staff of Sherman Oaks water damage company today. We have the tools and knowledge to handle grey water damages efficiently.
The sources of grey water include, but not limited to are, overflowing toilet bowl with urine in it, overflowing dishwashers and washing machines, and sump pump failures.
Category 3: Black Water
Lastly, we have a black water category, the most dangerous category of water damages. Black water contains hazardous contaminants such as harmful bacteria, pesticides, fungi and other microbes. Ingestion of black water can cause severe discomfort and even death of humans and pets. It takes specialized skills and tools to handle black water damages, and therefore, for remediation of black water damages, we strongly advise to hire professional help only.
The sources of black water include, but not limited to are, overflowing rivers or streams, ground surface water and seawater flooding.

The use of ploughs is gaining more and more importance in arable farming as the use of crop care products is being reduced. For many farmers, ploughs are the first choice, above all as an alternative to the use of total herbicides and as a means to control herbicideresistant weeds.
The soil is the most important resource in productive agriculture. Choice of the primary cultivation procedure, for the particular location, and optimal use of technology, help retain the long-term profitability of the soil. An important factor for a successful harvest is the preparation of seedbeds.
LEMKEN offers a wide product range of compact disc harrows and cultivators to enable the forward-looking farmer and contractor to implement a coordinated strategy of stubble cultivation and basic soil cultivation for mulch sowing, depending on the location, soil and prevailing crop rotation.In the process, implements with different tillage intensities, such as the Heliodor and Rubin compact disc harrows or the Koralin, Kristall and Karat cultivators, can be linked to form intelligent process chains. In this way, all crop production requirements can be optimally taken into account at low process costs.
The LEMKEN SeedHub ensures precise distribution even in windy conditions. For this purpose, the seed is conveyed via the fan to the baffle plates of the individual sections and, as recommended, evenly distributed on the soil surface in front of the roller or into the soil flow. It can be combined with all LEMKEN compact disc harrows and the Kristall and Karat cultivators.
Modern arable farms need high performance equipment, a versatile combination of different functions within an implement, and fast, simple road transport. And all this without compromise to good consolidation and perfect seed placement. The most important feature of a modern drill technology is that it will work flawlessly in both conventional and conservation tillage.
With the Azurit, LEMKEN has set standards in precision seeding. The staggered placement of the grains in the DeltaRow triangle provides the plants with more nutrients, more water and more light. With this advantage for the plant, a higher yield can be achieved with the same crop density. The DeltaRow method also enables tramlining with a constant number of plants.

NIMASA to send IMO instruments for domestication.
- Other Apps
As Gbajabiamila pledges legislative support for blue sea economy
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, has forwarded six International Maritime Organization (IMO) instruments on marine environment management to the presidency for ratification.
This is in a renewed bid to invigorate the protection and preservation of marine and ocean ecosystem, responsible for the conservation, exploration and exploitation of Nigeria's biodiversity.
The Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside who disclosed this during the African Day of Seas and Oceans in Lagos said the marine ecosystem has huge present and future economic potentials that must be properly managed for its full benefits through conscious efforts and deliberate policies.
He added that NIMASA would continue to take steps to identify with the global maritime community adoption of newer measures designed to achieve sustainable marine economic growth.
This is even as the Speaker House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila who delivered the keynote address at the event provided strong affirmative direction on the readiness of Nigeria to explore all purposeful options geared towards the protection and exploitation of the nation’s marine biodiversity.
While commending NIMASA and its leadership for meticulously steering the ship of state on the path of economic growth and competitiveness, wellbeing and environmental safety, the Hon. Speaker said:
"The National Assembly will continue to partner the agency and the executive arm of government in the bid to realize the full potentials inherent in our seas and oceans."
Represented by Hon. Linda Juba Igbiazor, the Speaker emphasized:
“Efficient management and sustainable exploitation of the marine resources in our seas and oceans no doubt provide a veritable tool for our Economic and Recovery Growth Plan as a country and gives expression to our sustainable development goals”, adding that,
“The National Assembly is committed towards our national quest for the sustainable use, conservation, exploitation and exploration of our seas and oceans to maximize our vast economic potentials.
"We will support the sustainable governance of Nigeria’s seas and oceans and the efforts of the executive arm of Government that would see to the effective domestication of relevant international conventions of the International Maritime Organisation on marine environment through legislative enactments.
“The National Assembly would also work with the executive arm in putting in place the necessary legal framework for the Blue Economy to engender and protect the Nigerian marine environment and development of the ocean economy," Gbajabiamila emphasized.
Speaking further, Dakuku explained the global community is looking more and more towards the seas and oceans for economic prosperity, noting that our marine economic potentials is huge enough to correct our presnt unemployment deficit, as well contribute substantially to increase our national gross domestic product, GDP.
To achieve this, the NIMASA boss iterated Nigeria must be willing to develop interest in the conservation, exploration and exploitation of it's marine biodiversity.
He stressed that NIMASA is committed to the formulation of policies that will drive and accelerate above economic developments and growth, while preserving the marine environment.
Dakuku therefore called on stakeholders to come onboard and join hands with government to tap into the nation’s seas and oceans wealth.
His words, “As a maritime safety administration, NIMASA is committed to focusing its attention on formulating policies that are in tandem with the development of our marine biodiversity towards enhancing Nigeria’s economic growth in line with government agenda for the diversification of the economy.
“It is pertinent to mention that NIMASA has concluded and forwarded to the executive arm of government six international maritime organization (IMO) instruments on marine environment management for ratification.
Dakuku said some of the instruments include the Hong Kong Convention for the Sale and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships 2009, International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Fishing Vessel Personnel, Protocol Relating to Intervention on the High Seas in Cases of Oil Pollution Casualties, Intervention 1973, and Protocol on Limitation of Liability for Marine Claims, LLMC, 1996."
The NIMASA helmsman added that the agency is “undertaking a review of all the marine environment management regulations made to the merchant Shipping Act 2007 in line with the corrective action from IMO Members State Audit Scheme, IMSAS”


Tips for Preventing Mold in Your Attic
Tips for Preventing Mold in Your Attic
Poor ventilation, leaky foundations, and other sources of moisture make your basement the ideal place for mold to thrive. But while you’re busy battling obvious mold damage in the lowest area of your house, you may be ignoring another room that you might not associate with mold: your attic.
Once mold is established inside your attic, it can be very tricky to eliminate and will require professional assistance. Here are a few tips to help you prevent mold from growing in your attic.
Inspect Your Roof
Roof damage and leaks are some of the most common causes of mold growth in your attic. Perform a visual inspection of your roof and look for curled or missing shingles, damaged shingles or flashing, loss of granules on asphalt shingles, and roof rot. Any roof damage could result in leaks that create moisture problems in your attic. Here are other signs your roof is damaged and there is a moisture problem:
– Water stains on ceiling
– Leaks and puddles inside your attic
– Mold growth on asphalt shingles
– Mold or moss growth on siding
Contact a professional roofer immediately to have any damaged repaired immediately. You should also replace your asphalt roof if it is severely damaged or if it is anywhere from 15 to 20 years old, which is the average lifespan of asphalt shingles. A good roof can help prevent mold issues in your attic.
Improve Your Attic Ventilation
Your morning showers and the summer heat are just a few of the many ways moisture will collect inside your attic. If your attic is properly ventilated, the excess warm, moist air will be eliminated and replaced by cool, dry air. This will create an ideal balance that will keep your attic dry and the air in your home more comfortable.
But if your attic ventilation is inadequate, it will create a moist environment in your attic that is ideal for mold to grow. There are several ways you can improve the ventilation in your attic, including:
– Installing intake vents on your roof soffits
– Installing additional roof vents
– Installing roof ridge vents
If there is excessive moisture inside your home and the levels inside your attic are not improving after installing additional roof vents, another good option is to install an attic ventilation fan. Several types of attic fans are available, including solar powered models, which are much less expensive to operate.
Monitor Your Attic’s Humidity Levels
You can ensure the humidity levels in your attic remain consistent with an inexpensive tool: a hygrometer. You can buy this tool at home improvement and hardware stores. Simply check the hygrometer in your attic several times a month to ensure the relative humidity, or RH, remains between 40 percent and 50 percent.
Upgrade Your Insulation
Preventing excessive moisture inside your attic is the first step in stopping mold — maintaining constant temperatures is the second. Mold flourishes in warmer temperatures and installing upgraded insulation will help keep your attic temperatures in check.
Fiberglass insulation, which isn’t biodegradable and is manufactured with small pieces of glass, resists mold growth and is the best option to prevent moisture and mold in your attic. Remove thick layers of dust from your attic insulation. Even if the product is non-biodegradable, mold can grow on a layer of dust that is very thick.
Install a vapor barrier between the insulation and the attic’s inner walls. This will prevent condensation from being soaked up by the insulation. Do not store boxes next to the insulation. This will prevent it from drying, if there is any moisture in your attic.
Taking the steps to prevent mold in your attic will protect your family’s health and your pocketbook. If you have any additional questions, contact the professionals at DRC Cleaning Solutions.


The Giant Pandas of 2016
December 1, 2016
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
2016 was a difficult and eventful year for everyone around the world. There were many terrorists attacks, such as the one in Nice, France. There were shootings and deaths of famous legends, such as Muhammad Ali and David Bowie that shocked the nation. The election also added to the hostile environment this year. There weren’t many happy and forgiving stories that appeared in 2016. But one of the few was about pandas.
In Chengdu, China at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, 23 giant pandas were born on September 26, 2016. This was a compelling amount because it was almost twice as high from 2015. These pandas were on display for the public to see. People could watch the 1 to 4 month pandas moving about. Some pandas stayed laying on the table while others wiggled around, catching the attention of the crowd. One panda even fell off!
The amount of these pandas are important because the species is endangered. In 1990, pandas were moved off of the Threatened Species list and onto the Endangered Species List. From the census in 2014, there are 1,864 giant pandas are left in the wild. They are endangered because of the impact of the hunters and habitat loss. Because of habitat loss, there is a loss in bamboo, which is the Giant panda’s main food source.
What can you do to help the endangered Giant Pandas? You can donate to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) on their website. For example, you can donate 56 dollars and it will help support a ranger go through a 5-day training course and this could help obtain information about the Giant panda’s habitat. If you donate 1,392 dollars, you are able to save an injured panda.
Giant pandas are one of the world’s most adorable animals, so it will be very heartbreaking if the species eventually goes extinct. The 23 newborn baby pandas gives the cuddly breed and the panda lovers hope for a better future for them.


Aluminum is one of the most frequently used materials in the automotive industry due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and relative affordability compared to other metals.
It can be found in numerous areas of a vehicle: from chassis and body panels to exhaust pipes and other structural components. Using aluminum instead of heavier materials like steel can increase safety, improve fuel economy, , and thereby reduce emissions.
Are you interested in learning how aluminum is used in the manufacturing of cars today? This automotive aluminum supplier in Detroit, Michigan is going to discuss some of the key points you should know below.
There are several notable benefits of using aluminum in the manufacturing of cars. By reducing the overall weight of a vehicle, it improves fuel efficiency, as less energy is required to move itthe vehicle down the road.
Additionally, because aluminum is more corrosion-resistant than steel, it can help extend the lifespan of parts resulting in fewer maintenance costs over time.
Finally, using aluminum helps make vehicles more environmentally friendly by reducing emissions from burning fossil fuels while still providing the strength and durability necessary to produce a safe vehicle..
The use of aluminum in cars has some potential drawbacks. One of the biggest challenges with using aluminum is its cost — however, it is still more affordable than other metals like alloy steel or titanium when acquired from a reputable automotive metal supplier in Detroit, Michigan. Despite its upfront cost, the material provides an excellent return on investment for auto manufacturers.
Manufacturing processes involving aluminum can also be quite challenging, as the metal requires much greater precision and accuracy during production than other materials do. This means that additional resources and time must go into producing parts made from aluminum, which can increase costs and slow down production times.
Finally, aluminum production can have an environmental impact due to the mining and processing of the ore required to create it. These processes often involve chemicals that can be damaging to ecosystems and hazardous for workers if not handled properly. Additionally, certain aluminum car parts are difficult to recycle, and they sometimes end up in landfills rather than being repurposed or reused.
Fortunately, automakers and other manufacturers have developed innovative techniques for producing aluminum parts that make them easier and faster to manufacture while reducing costs and overall environmental impact.
For example, some companies are using 3D printing technology instead of traditional machining methods (additive, rather than reductive manufacturing) to create precise aluminum parts with minimal waste.
Another solution to address the challenge of aluminum car parts ending up in landfills is recycling. Automakers are increasingly investing in solutions that allow them to recycle more used parts and materials into new ones, reducing the need for additional production costs and resources while also helping reduce their environmental footprint.
Finally, some automotive metal suppliers in Detroit, Michigan have begun looking into renewable energy sources, like solar power or wind turbines, to provide the electricity necessary for producing aluminum. This can help reduce carbon footprints by eliminating the need to burn fossil fuels while still providing enough energy to meet production needs.
Overall, using aluminum in cars offers numerous benefits, but it also poses some challenges. Fortunately, with innovative production techniques, recycling initiatives, and renewable energy sources, automakers can find ways to mitigate these drawbacks while still taking advantage of the many advantages aluminum provides.

Because South East Cornwall is so unspoiled and has such a wide variety of natural environments – everything from sea to high moorland – it’s a great place to watch wildlife and sea life.
It’s worth taking a boat trip out to sea to experience the best wildlife that our sea has to offer. There are plenty of wildlife boat trips available in places like Fowey, Looe and across the river in Plymouth. South East Cornwall is home to some of the richest marine wildlife in the British Isles. Grey seals are large creatures and surprisingly common (the UK has 80% of the world population, and many of them can be found around the South East Cornwall coast. For more than twenty years, a male with one eye amused locals and visitors in Looe Harbour, and his lifesize statue can be seen at the harbour entrance. Cornwall Seal Group identifies and monitors Grey Seals – if you get a good photo of one in the Looe area, they’d love to hear from you.

Dolphins and porpoises are also relatively common in our waters, particularly harbour porpoise, common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins. Minke whales are also seen from time to time.

Perhaps the marine animal that the south coast of Cornwall is most famous for is the basking shark. This is the second largest of all fishes – twice as large as the great white, but a harmless plankton feeder, despite its enormous mouth. Reaching lengths of up to 12m, basking sharks are spring and summer visitors to southeast Cornwall and come in very close to beaches to feed off plankton in the water. Many of the boat captains pride themselves on knowing the sharks’ favourite spots, but it’s not unheard of for basking sharks to come close to beaches where holidaymakers are sunbathing. Numbers seem to be increasing, which is great news. Even so, the best chance of seeing interesting marine life is definitely to go on a boat trip with an experienced guide.
You don’t have to be out at sea to see sea life – much of it can be seen on the shore! One thing we have plenty of in South East Cornwall is unspoilt beaches, and that means rock pools. In fact, we have some of the best beaches for rock-pooling anywhere in the world! Hannafore Beach in Looe was named by the Wildlife Trusts as one of the best rock-pooling beaches in the country. It’s a sheltered area of rocky shore that forms part of the Looe Marine Conservation Area. The seaweed provides cover and food for starfish, crabs, sea anemones, fish and other shellfish.

Other local beaches that are great for rock-pooling include Cawsand, Kingsand, the rockier parts of Whitsand Bay (like Seaton) and Plaidy Beach.
Those same boat trips that take you out to look for dolphins and basking sharks also know where to go to find interesting sea birds. Off the coast, you can expect to see such interesting birds as gannets, great skua, arctic skua, guillemots and shearwaters as well as fulmars and a wide range of gulls. If you’re coming to do some birding in South East Cornwall, you’ll be missing out if you stay on land for the whole of your holiday.

Nevertheless, South East Cornwall is a great place for birdwatching. We have many different environments (cliffs, moorland, tidal estuaries, mixed woodland, etc), low pollution and we’re on the migration route for many species.
The Rame Peninsula (especially Rame Head) is a favourite site for local birders, offering up a very diverse selection of native birds and rare visitors. The area is especially good for raptors (especially slightly later in the year) – look out for peregrines, hobbies, merlins, hen harriers, marsh harriers and short-eared owls around Rame Head.
Our wide river estuaries are excellent habitats for wading birds, and in recent years we have been seeing some increasingly exotic visitors, especially to the Tamar and Lynher estuaries. Little egrets and avocets are now common here, and you may even see spoonbills. Of course knowing where to look is important, and viewing from a boat might be the best way. Bruce Taggart of Tamar Wildlife organises guided wildlife tours on foot and by boat.

Cornwall is an important habitat for butterflies, including some rare and endangered species. Butterfly Conservation identifies four sites in South East Cornwall as being of particular importance - Greenscombe Wood in Luckett (heath fritillary, marbled white, ringlet and small copper), Bunny’s Hill in Bodmin (pearl-bordered fritillary, small pearl-bordered fritillary, dark green fritillary, silver-washed fritillary), Rame Head (marbled white, pearl-bordered fritillary, small pearl-bordered fritillary, green hairstreak, clouded yellow) and the coast path near the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary in Looe (pearl-bordered fritillary, dingy skipper).

As well as these rarer species, expect to see speckled woods, gatekeepers, brimstones, small tortoiseshells, small heaths, red admirals, commas, peacocks and painted ladies, at the right time of year, in the right place.
You might have to get wet to see some of our most interesting wildlife. Off the South East Cornwall coast are a number of reefs, teeming with interesting marine life from colourful corals to weird marine invertebrates, fish and eels. The best way to do this is with a local diving club. See our watersports page for more information on diving.
You’ll find quite a diverse range of wild mammals in South East Cornwall. Some are common, some perhaps more common here than elsewhere in the country and some are rare. You may certainly spot foxes, badgers, stoats, weasels, hedgehogs, moles (or at least evidence of their passing), various species of shrew, various mice, grey squirrels and rabbits in South East Cornwall. However, you should also look out for otters, bank, field and water voles, dormice and brown hares, although you’ll have to be very good, very patient or very lucky. Roe deer and red deer, on the other hand, are surprisingly common, especially in the Tamar Valley. The Cornwall Mammal Group has excellent species guides showing known distribution in Cornwall of all our mammal species.
Go for a walk in South East Cornwall on a quiet spring, summer or autumn evening and there’s a good chance that you just glimpse a bat hunting for insects. The most common South East Cornwall bat (and the most common in Britain) is the pipistrelle.
Reptiles and Amphibians
Because Cornwall is the warmest part of the country, we do get reptiles and amphibians here. You’ll find grass snakes and adders all over the region, often basking on rocks on heathland and moorland. Common lizards and slow worms are also relatively common reptiles in South East Cornwall.
As for amphibians, both common toads and common frogs are (predictably enough) fairly common in South East Cornwall, frogs especially so in the wetter river valleys. Two species of newt are native to the area – the smooth newt and the palmate newt, though neither is common.

Finally, if you really want a gold star for reptile spotting in southeast Cornwall, then you need to get in a boat, because there are occasional recorded sightings of leatherback turtles off the coast!
Zoos and Wildlife Parks
If you want to see more wildlife while you’re here, why not visit one of our excellent zoos and wildlife parks? In Looe, you’ll find the Porfell Wildlife Park and Sanctuary and the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary. Launceston has the wonderful Tamar Otter Sanctuary. Meanwhile, just outside the region, are Dartmoor Zoo and the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, Paignton Zoo and Newquay Zoo.

Owning oceanfront real estate in Los Cabos is a dream for some that, although luxurious and romantic, requires a certain level of upkeep. In general, real estate in beachfront environments is exposed to high levels of humidity that can quickly wreak havoc on your home. Properties located in front of the ocean are exposed to a significantly higher amount of salt than other homes in coastal areas.
In order to maintain the value of your beachfront property, it’s important to be well-informed on the necessary maintenance steps. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the most important things to do each year when caring for a home or condo located in front of the ocean.
1. Regularly Check All Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Units
The high concentration of sea salt in the air attracts moisture to the metal components of an Air conditioning system. As Accumulation of moisture can cause premature corrosion and deterioration of the air conditioning systems components. Furthermore, the closer you live to the ocean, the greater the risk of salt damaging your AC unit.
It is important that you have filters in your AC system, they can do a great job of filtering out much of the salt and dust in the air before it reaches the at risk metal components. For this reason, we recommend that you have your AC filters cleaned or changed once a month and have a professional check and tune up your system once a year.
2. Check All Seals on Windows and Doors
Water Penetrating from heavy rains can result in deterioration of window sashes, framing, blinds, and, if severe, even exterior flooring. In order to prevent costly repairs in the future, it’s important to check all window and door seals as well as weatherstripping on a regular basis. We recommend that you do this twice a year, once every six months. If you find any issues in your window and door treatments, repair or replace them immediately to avoid leaks and more serious complications.
3. Keep a look Out for Mold
Mold loves humid conditions and coastal weather conditions. This constant exposure provides the perfect habitat for mold and it can grow just about anywhere: in your outdoor furniture and cushions, on a wet towel left on the floor, on the walls, and in the shower.
If caught early, mold can be prevented or properly treated. If left untreated, it can spread very quickly and through your entire home rapidly. The best way to protect your property from mold is to prevent mold growth altogether. There are Certain types of mold, like black mold, which are a serious health concern if not properly addressed. If you see mold or think you might have mold in your home, please contact a specialist immediately and take steps for proper removal.
4. Inspect for Termites Regularly
Termites can be a common nuisance that can also quickly affect your oceanfront property. Termites only need a small opening to gather themselves into your home and start causing damage. Both subterranean (underground) termites and the flying termites are prominent in Cabo San Lucas. We always recommend that you perform regular inspections and fumigate your home in order to avoid termite damage.
5. Pressure Wash Your Home
Many oceanfront properties are not protected by tall trees and get no shade. These properties can receive full sun and are affected by the ocean elements all day, sometimes leaving them looking weathered fairly quickly. Simple Pressure washing is an easy way to remove salt and dirt from your home while also removing any possible mildew growth. We recommend pressure washing the exterior of your home up to every 3 months to remove any salt and dirt buildup.
6. Keep Your Decks Sealed
Another important item that can get overlooked is a task that should be on your list of annual home maintenance checklist is sealing your deck. Sea salt air, tropical rain, high winds and prolonged exposure to the coastal sun can cause significant wear and tear on any deck. Even a small leak that goes unnoticed can cause issues. The best way to protect your decks is to reseal them each year.
7. Protect Your Outdoor Furniture
Outdoor furniture can often be overlooked but tends to be the most affected in coastal homes since it’s always exposed to the elements. Always take care for your outdoor furniture, rinse any metal framing weekly with water and dry it with a dry cloth. Another good practice for maintaining your outdoor furniture protection is to always cover your outdoor furniture when it is not in use. This will help prevent any buildup of salt and dirt that may cause rusting or a buildup of some mildew. If you want to add a layer of protection to the metal framing, might we we suggest applying a coat of car polish or wax to help prevent rust.
8. Regular Inspections of the Exterior of Your Home
A great practice is to periodically inspect the exterior of your coastal home to look for any damaged siding, missing shingles, and anything else that might need the attention of a licensed contractor. Catching these type of issues early can save you a significant amount of time and money down the road due to mold, leaks, and rot.
9. Hire a Property Manager That Specializes in Coastal Property Maintenance
If you’re looking at real estate in Los Cabos to receive a return on investment, or as a vacation home and you’re not going to be living in your ocean front property year-round, you might want to consider hiring a responsible property manager. A preferred property manager regularly inspects your home to ensure that everything is functioning properly. He/she also handles any necessary repairs and/or upkeep in order to avoid any damage to your property.
