  • The Armenians
    THE ARMENIANS By C.F. DIXON-JOHNSON “Whosoever does wrong to a Christian or a Jew shall find me his accuser on the day of judgment.” (EL KORAN) Printed and Published by GEO TOULMIN & SONS, LTD. Northgate, Blackburn. 1916 Preface The following pages were first read as a paper before the “Société d’Etudes Ethnographiques.” They have since been amplified and are now being published at the request of a number of friends, who believe that the public should have an opportunity of judging whether or not “the Armenian Question” has another side than that which has been recently so assiduously promulgated throughout the Western World. Though the championship of Greek, Bulgarian and other similar “Christian, civilized methods of fighting,” as contrasted with “Moslem atrocities” in the Balkans and Asia Minor, has been so strenuously undertaken by Lord Bryce and others, the more recent developments in the Near East may perhaps already have opened the eyes of a great many thinking people to the realization that, in sacrificing the traditional friendship of the Turk to all this more or less sectarian clamor, British diplomacy has really done nothing better than to exchange the solid and advantageous reality for a most elusive and unreliable, if not positively dangerous, set of shadows. It seems illogical that the same party which recalled the officials (and among them our present War Minister) appointed by Lord Beaconsfield to assist the Turkish Government in reforming their administration and collecting the revenue in Asia Minor, and which on the advent of the Young Turks refused to lend British Administrators to whom ample and plenary powers were assured, should now, in its eagerness to vilify the Turk, lose sight of their own mistakes which have led in the main to the conditions of which it complains, and should so utterly condemn its own former policy.

  • Baldfaced Hornet & Aerial Yellowjacket
    Colorado Insect of Interest Baldfaced Hornet & Aerial Yellowjacket Scientific Names: Dolichovespula maculata (L.) (baldfaced hornet), D. arenaria (Fabricius) (aerial yellowjacket) Figure 1. Baldfaced hornet collecting honeydew from oak galls. Order: Hymenoptera (Bees, Wasps, Ants, Sawflies and Relatives) Family: Vespidae Identification and Descriptive Features: Adults are prominently marked with either black and white (baldfaced hornet) or black and yellow (aerial yellowjacket) markings. The general body form is elongate with the hind end terminating in a blunt point (with stinger) and they are only sparsely hairy, unlike bees. The baldfaced hornet is the larger species, typically over 15 mm in length. Size range within a colony varies with workers being smaller, usually within the range of 10-14 mm. Adults of the aerial yellowjacket are quite similar Figure 2. Aerial yellowjacket chewing on to the western yellowjacket, Vespula pensylvanica weathered wood. (Saussure), in both size and general coloration. The pattern of markings on the abdomen can be used to separate these insects (Figures 6-9). Distribution in Colorado: Both the baldfaced hornet and aerial yellowjacket normally nests in trees or large shrubs and are native to forested areas. However, with landscaping provided around residential areas these wasps may now commonly be found in most towns and cities, with the exception of some in the eastern plain communities. The aerial yellowjacket, in particular, has also adapted to nest on buildings. Life History and Habits: The baldfaced hornet and aerial yellowjacket, the two primary representatives of the genus Dolichovespula in Colorado, make large above ground carton nests of a papery material. These nests are produced annually, initiated in spring by a single overwintered queen and abandoned at the end of the season.

  • Controlling Wasps, Bees and Hornets Around Your Home  Dr
    Bringing information and education into the communities of the Granite State Controlling Wasps, Bees and Hornets Around Your Home Dr. Alan T. Eaton, Extension Specialist, Entomology Wasp encounters can be painful, even life-threatening, for a few highly sensitive people. Yet some New Hampshire species are not very aggressive and they also serve as valuable predators of soft-bodied insects. A hands-off policy might be better for some situations, while others might require careful, direct action. The choice you make should depend on the species and situation. Aggressive species New Hampshire is “blessed” with at least nine species of yellow- jackets, along with two other aggressive wasp species, the bald- faced hornet and giant European hornet. All these members of the wasp family Vespidae live in colonies and have similar life cycles. We also have a moderately aggressive, large solitary wasp, called the cicada killer. Most yellow jackets are about ½ inch long, with yellow and black banded bodies, and clear wings. Bald-faced hornets grow up to ¾ Yellow jacket wasp.

Only the mated females of Vespidae species survive the winter. These females overwinter individually, usually in deep leaf litter in the woods. In the spring, those that survived emerge and search for a site to start a tiny nest. Bald faced hornets prefer eaves of buildings, horizontal branches, or some similar site protected from rain.

  • Asian Giant Hornet (Vespa Mandarinia)
    This is a Pre-Review Version of This Factsheet - An Update Will Be Available When Reviews Are Complete The Asian Giant hornet (AGH) or Japanese giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia, recently found in Brit- ish Columbia, Canada, and in Washington State, poses a significant threat to European honey bee (EHB), Apis mellifera, colonies and is a public health issue. The AGH is the world’s largest species of hornet, native to temperate and tropical Eastern Asia low mountains and forests. The hornet is well adapted to conditions in the Pacific Northwest. If this hornet becomes established, it will have a severe and damaging impact on the honey bee pop- ulation, the beekeeping industry, the environment, public health, and the economy. It is critical that we identify, trap, and attempt to eliminate this new pest before it becomes established and wide- spread.

    R-19-11 Meeting 19-04 February 27, 2019 AGENDA ITEM 4 AGENDA ITEM Resolution Approving an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Integrated Pest Management Program and Related Minor Project Modifications GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution approving an addendum to the certified Final Environmental Impact Report for the Integrated Pest Management Program and related minor project modifications. SUMMARY The Board of Directors (Board) approved the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP) on December 10, 2014 for the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program (R-14-148; Attachment 1 – Executive Summary of the 2014 EIR and MMP). The complete EIR is available on the District website at https://www.openspace.org/sites/default/files/IPM_EIR.pdf). Staff recently identified several discretionary elements for inclusion into the IPM Program, including additional invasive species treatment methods, an increase in treatment acreage for manual and mechanical methods, and three new pesticides that provide better control of certain target species than current pesticides. In addition, the Department of Fish and Wildlife has identified two new species of special concern (2018) that need to be folded into the EIR review. The attached Addendum to the 2014 EIR analyzes these minor modifications and inclusions to the IPM Program, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and finds that no significant effect on the environment will result from these changes (Exhibit A to the resolution - Addendum to the 2014 EIR). BACKGROUND As part of the California Floristic Province and recognized as one of twenty-five botanical hotspots in the world, the Santa Cruz Mountains contain an extraordinary high biodiversity.
