Mr Kennett was unhappy with Bay's disciplinary record but he disagreed with fellow directors as to how to tackle the problem.
He stepped down as chairman initially and left the board completely, leaving Bill Dordoy to continue as chairman until the end of the season.
Denly confirmed: "There was a disciplinary problem. A disciplinary issue was brought to my attention and it was dealt with how it was dealt with in the end.
"Trevor wasn't happy with a few areas of that and, as a result, he's ended up resigning over it. I'm not going to go into detail about what actually happened but I'm disappointed Trevor's gone.
"He was a great chairman and it was a pleasure working with him. Trevor brought me to the club, so I've got a lot of respect for him and I'm gutted to see him go.
"What's happened has happened, so we're not going to get involved in that as players or me as the manager. I've got to make sure we're concentrating on things that happen on the football pitch. Of course it's disappointing to see Trevor go but I'm sure things will work out."
Denly, appointed as Simon Halsey's successor last May, added: "A manager's only as good as his chairman. If he feels I'm not doing the job, there's the door. By the same token, if a new chairman comes in, he may have other ideas, you just don't know.
"I had a good relationship with Trevor. I'm honest in what I do, I think people know that, so hopefully I can work with the new chairman and we can look to push Herne Bay Football Club forward."
Denly has given his players Thursday night off ahead of their home game against Chipstead in Ryman League, Division 1 South on Saturday. Joe Nelder is suspended but fellow midfielder Sam Hasler should be fit.
Bay entertain Three Bridges on Tuesday.

why shouldn't i do it with my brother?
I'm curious bout sex. I looked a lot on line, and I saw lots of nasty pics, and stuff. Some of the chat, and info sites tell about how many girls do it at my age, and even younger. I think the younger you start, the more it's likely to hurt. Is that true? They also say that like 8 out of 10 girls if they do it before jr.high, do it with a family memeber. My Bff said that sounded like a good idea. He can't tell anybody with out getting in trouble himself. I think the most common is with a older guy. Like your uncle, or even your dad. I think my uncle would. He looks at me funny sometimes. It makes me nervious, he gets so intense. But he doesn't live neer me, and I think it would be easier if he lived in my house. I don't think my dad would. It would be weird wouldn't it? How can I find out if he wanted to? Besides dad or my uncle would have a really big one right? I'm sure that a big one whould hurt more. That only leaves my brother. He's 15 that's not so old. His wouldn't be that big yet. Our rooms join with a bathroom in between, so it would be real easy. I guess I'm asking how do I know if he wants to? I would just die if I.. and he didn't want to!!! iIs there some way to find out? And is it still really bad if I can't get pregnant yet anyway?

2001 Hyundai Elantra Problems
If the automatic transmission does not shift properly and the Check Engine Light illuminates, the speed sensors in the transmission may have failed. The sensors are simple and inexpensive to replace.
My power windows won't work. Power locks function well but the buttons for my windows won't.
Prior to replacing the automatic transmission fluid (to improve shift quality), make sure that the transmission fluid level is correct. Also, make sure the computer that controls the transmission has the most up-to-date adaptive programming information. When servicing these transmissions be sure to use fluid approved by Hyundai.

2001 Hyundai Elantra Recalls
Hyundai is recalling 2001–2003 Elantra and Tiburon vehicles in areas of the country with heavy concentrations of road salt usage. Corrosion and thinning of the steel in the front lower control arms may progress to a point where the panels become perforated, which can cause a fracture between the ball joint and pivot attachments to the chassis. This could reduce driver control over the vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the affected front lower control arms.

Jeffrey Simon Thompson "Jeff" Minton (born 28 December 1973) is an English former professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. He scored 49 goals in 296 league and cup games in a ten-year career in the Football League.
He began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, but only made two Premier League appearances before being allowed to join Brighton & Hove Albion in July 1994. He made 199 appearances for the "Seagulls", and was voted onto the PFA Team of the Year (Third Division) in 1998–99. He moved on to Port Vale in June 1999, but did not establish himself in the first team. He was transferred to Rotherham United in March 2001, and helped the "Millers" to win promotion out of the Second Division, before signing with Leyton Orient in July 2001. He joined non-league Grays Athletic in August 2002, before quickly moving on to Canvey Island. He helped the "Gulls" to the Isthmian League title in 2003–04, following their second-place finish in 2002–03, and also played in the 2004 FA Trophy Final. He moved onto Chelmsford City in August 2006, and helped his new side to the Isthmian League title in 2007–08. He signed with Welling United in July 2009, but left the club a month later. He joined amateur side Ware in November 2012.
Playing career[edit]
Minton began his professional career as a trainee with Tottenham Hotspur in 1992.[2] He scored on his debut, a 3–3 draw with Everton at White Hart Lane, which was also Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne's last home game for "Spurs".[3] He was only to make two further appearances however, one Premier League and one League Cup game.
He was released in July 1994 and joined Brighton & Hove Albion of the Second Division on a free transfer. The "Seagulls" finished 16th in 1994–95 under the stewardship of Liam Brady. However rookie boss Jimmy Case could not prevent the club from suffering relegation to the Third Division at the end of the 1995–96 season; they were 12 points short of the safety mark set by York City. Brighton continued to decline under Steve Gritt, and only avoided losing their Football League status on the last day of the 1996–97 season with a dramatic final day draw with Hereford United. Minton finished as the club's top scorer in 1997–98 with seven goals in 39 appearances, as Albion again finished second-from-bottom, though this time were 15 points clear of last place Doncaster Rovers. New manager Brian Horton had a brief spell in charge, before the club finished 1998–99 in 17th place under Micky Adams; Minton scored nine goals in 38 games, and was voted onto the PFA Team of the Year. In total Minton made 199 league and cup appearances, scoring 32 goals, in five seasons, during a poor time in the club's history which saw them forced to sell the Goldstone Ground and temporarily reside at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium.
He joined Port Vale on a free transfer in June 1999, in a move that reunited him with Brian Horton.[2] He scored four goals in 26 games in 1999–2000, as the "Valiants" were relegated out of the First Division. Following a 2–1 defeat to non-league Canvey Island at Vale Park in the FA Cup, he and four other players were placed on the transfer list in December 2000;[4] this was despite him scoring twice in the original 4–4 draw at Park Lane. He scored four goals in 29 games in 2000–01. He struggled to hold down a place in the first team in the New Year and entered talks with Rotherham United in March 2001.[5] He was signed to provide cover for the suspended Stewart Talbot.[6] Minton scored twice on his debut for the "Millers" in a 3–0 win over Bristol City at Millmoor.[7] He made eight further appearances in the remainder of the 2000–01 season as Ronnie Moore's side secured promotion to the First Division with a second-place finish, just two points behind champions Millwall.
Minton joined Third Division side Leyton Orient in July 2001.[2] He made 39 league and cup appearances in the 2001–02 season and was part of the team that beat First Division Portsmouth in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2002.[8] He was offered a two-year extension to his contract in January 2002 by manager Paul Brush,[9] but left the club in August 2002 and joined Isthmian League club Grays Athletic.[10] Two weeks later, he moved to Jeff King's Canvey Island in a player exchange deal for midfielder Adam Miller.[11]
He scored nine goals in 41 starts in 2002–03, and was voted as Supporters Player of the Year, as Canvey finished second in the Isthmian League.[12] He scored five goals in 38 starts in 2003–04, as the "Gulls" won the Isthmian League title and promotion into the Conference National.[13] He also featured in the final of the FA Trophy in 2004, where they were beaten 3–2 by Hednesford Town.[14][15] He scored once in 20 games in 2004–05, as Canvey finished 18th.[16] He scored six goals in 40 games in 2005–06, however Canvey chose to be demoted into the Isthmian League despite a mid-table finish.[17]
Minton joined Chelmsford City in August 2006,[18] and went on to score seven goals in 43 appearances in 2006–07.[19] He then helped the "Clarets" to the Isthmian League championship in 2007–08. They reached the Conference South play-offs following a fifth-place finish in 2008–09, but lost out to Hampton & Richmond Borough. Minton was released in June 2009,[20] and joined Welling United the following month. He was subsequently made team captain, however after three appearances he was released after just a month.[21]
After taking a break from the game, he signed for Isthmian League club Ware in November 2012.[22]
Style of play[edit]
According to the Rotherham United website, Minton was a "dynamic midfielder" and "was a player with a good passing ability with a liking to push forward".[6]

Grand Canal Dock
Grand Canal Dock (Irish: Duga na Canálach Móire) is an area near the city centre of Dublin, in the easternmost part of Dublin 2 and the westernmost part of Ringsend in Dublin 4, surrounding the Grand Canal Docks, an enclosed harbour or docking area between the River Liffey and the Grand Canal. Since 2000 the area has undergone significant redevelopment as part of the Dublin Docklands area redevelopment project.
The Grand Canal Dock area is somewhat disputed. It is generally understood to be bounded by the Liffey to the north, South Lotts Road to the east (or Barrow Street if separating South Lotts as its own area), Grand Canal Street to the south and Macken Street to the west (although current maps show the area including as far west as the corner of Leeson Street and Fitzwilliam Place). Grand Canal Dock contains Grand Canal Dock railway station (also known as Barrow Street Station), the national Waterways Ireland Visitor Centre, the U2 Tower site, and a number of notable buildings.
The area has been dubbed "Silicon Docks"[1][2][3] (a reference to Silicon Valley) as it has become an extremely popular location for high-tech multinationals such as Google,[4] Facebook,[5] Twitter,[6] Linkedin,[7] Airbnb,[8] and more.
Grand Canal Dock railway station, accessed from Barrow Street, opened in 2001 (although the commuter line has been in use since 1834). In early 2014, five new Dublin Bikes stations were opened in the area.
Sites control and planning[edit]
On 22 May 2014, it was announced that a fast-track planning process was approved by An Bord Pleanala. 366,000 square metres of office space and 2,600 homes will be developed across 22 hectares of land in the North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock areas under the Docklands Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) planning scheme.[9] A number of site plan notices have been posted in the area including the following:
- On 14 October 2014, it was reported that U2 would buy 16 Hanover Quay from the Dublin Docklands Development Authority for €450,000.[10] The authority had forced the band to sell its old riverfront studio on Hanover Quay for an undisclosed price in 2002 to allow development of the Grand Canal Harbour area. As part of that deal the authority had promised the band the top two floors of the 32-storey tower it was planning to build on an adjacent quay, a project that was subsequently put on hold. In light of its imminent dissolution and the recent approval by An Bord Plenala for the North Lotts and Grand Canal Planning scheme, the authority decided it would not be proceeding with a proposed compulsory purchase order of 16 and 18 Hanover Quay.
- On 4 December 2014, a site plan notice was posted describing the developments to take place at the Boland's Mill site including retaining and restoring old stone buildings to accommodate retail/restaurant/cafe use, cultural/exhibition use, and residences; and the construction of three new towers (13 to 15 storeys, maximum height 53.65m) to accommodate offices and residences. There will also be three new pedestrian routes from Barrow St., new civic waterfront square adjacent to the dock.
- On 12 December 2014, two site plan notices were posted for Targeted Investment Opportunities PLC describing the developments to take place at the former Kilsaran Concrete site at 5 Hanover Quay. One notice is for the construction of a 7 storey office building. The other notice is for the construction of a 7-8 storey building to accommodate residences and mixed-use, including 100 apartments, a leisure centre, and space for 1 retail and 2 cafes at ground level.
Most of the buildings surrounding Grand Canal Square such as the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, The Marker Hotel, and HQ office development, were developed by McCauley Daye O'Connell Architects.[11] Notable buildings in the Grand Canal Dock area include:
Alto Vetro[edit]
The Alto Vetro apartment building was awarded the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland's (RIAI) Silver Medal for Housing (2007-2008).[12] It was built by the Montevetro developers Treasury Holdings.
Boland's Mill[edit]
Boland's Flour Mill was a functioning mill until 2001. The site, including older stone buildings and taller concrete silos, is now derelict.
Bord Gáis Energy Theatre[edit]
The Bord Gáis is the largest theatre in Ireland. It designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Liebeskind. It was opened as the Grand Canal Theatre in 2010 but renamed in March 2012 as part of a paid naming rights agreement.[13]
The Factory[edit]
The Factory houses Irish Film and Television Network studios, as well as rehearsal and recording studios where a number of U2's albums were recorded.
Google Docks[edit]
The Montevetro building completed in 2010 stands at a height of 67 metres and is currently the tallest commercial building in Dublin. It was sold to Google in January 2011 and subsequently renamed "Google Docks".[4] In 2014, the Google Docks building was joined by an "iconic" curving three-pronged steel and transparent glass footbridge to Google's two office buildings across Barrow Street - Gordon House and Gasworks House. It has been named "Hyperlink".[14][15]
The Marker Hotel[edit]
The Marker Hotel is one of only six of the The Leading Hotels of the World in Ireland. It was designed in 2004 by Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus. It opened in 2013, and offers the city's first rooftop terrace and bar.[11]
Millenium Tower[edit]
Millenium Tower is an apartment building located on the Grand Canal outer basin. At 63 metres in height, it was the tallest storied building in Dublin from 1998 - 2009.
Nos. 2, 4, and 5 Grand Canal Square[edit]
The modern office buildings alongside the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre were designed by architect Daniel Liebeskind and developed by Chartered Land. No 2 houses offices for Byrne Wallace law practice. No 4 mostly houses offices for William Fry solicitors as well as Facebook's European headquarters.[2]

A Strategic Process Guide Article relevant to Professional 1 Management & Strategy Author: Fergus McDermott MMII MBA, current Examiner. The use of case studies in business studies education is a well-accepted way of bridging the gap between business theory and the practice. It provides students with the opportunity to apply the business concepts they have learnt and to bring into play the important thinking skills necessary to maximise the benefits of the strategic process i.e. the analytical, creative, evaluative and the pragmatic decision making mindsets1. In developing these essential skills an understanding of the business models, frameworks and concepts are achieved. Also in making decisions about case studies it is important to approach the task in an ordered logical way. The diagram below describes such a process and the models and concepts suggested are offered as a guide. Working together in groups is a standard method for learning from case studies as it attempts to replicate as closely as possible real world business situations. It enables participants to develop important additional skills of learning to cope with a variety of views and opinions of colleagues that should enhance their ability to work within groups or teams. However tackling case studies individually can develop the important mindset skills. The process is divided into four parts. Phase One: Situation Analysis This section sets out to understand the external environment with a view to establishing the key drivers of change in the world and within the industry and related industries. From this will fall a list of opportunities and threats facing the business. 1 It also sets out to understand the company's internal environment, clearly defining its strengths and weaknesses. From this 'SWOT' analysis an identification and prioritisation of the key issues facing the business can then be assessed. An analysis of the current strategy can then be carried out with a view to establishing how well it addresses the key issues identified for the business. Key tools in this area include: P.E.S.T.L.E Analysis: What is happening in the world economy set the context for businesses but economic developments are influenced by political, social, technological, legal and environmental factors. The objective of carrying out such an analysis is to determine the key environmental influences on that company and to examine the impact of external influences. Porters Five Forces: Michael Porter claims that there are essentially five forces which dettermine the underlying structure of an industry i.e rivalry between existing players, the bargaining power of buyers, the bargaining power of suppliers, the threat of new entrants into the business and the threat of substitute products. Each can have a positive or negative effect on an industry structure by making the industry either more or less competitive. It is possible to determine the overall level of competition and therefore the overall attractiveness of the industry by examining each force and the balance between them. The collective strength of the forces determines the ultimate profit potential in the industry. The Lifecycle Analysis: An important part of analysis is to establish the stage an industry is at – birth, growth, maturity, or decline. A business can determine its position by exploring the features of each stage and comparing these with their own situation. The key skill here is to anticipate the oncoming stage in good time to as to influence the strategy of the business e.g. a company might be mature and drifting, and a reassessment of its direction needed to prevent further decline. Porters Value Chain: The value chain is a methodical approach to analysing and developing competitive advantage. The chain consists of a range of activities that create and build value. The output from this exercise is the total value delivered by the company. The 'margin' in the Porters Value Chain diagram is the added value. The company is shown split into 'primary activities' and 'support activities.' Core Competencies: These are the capabilities that are critical to a business achieving a competitive advantage. Key to the analysis here is recognising that competition between players is as much a contest for competence mastery as it is for market position and strength. Prahalad and Hammel suggest the following three factors that help recognize core competencies in a business, in terms of what the core competence should achieve. 1) Provide potential to a wide variety of markets. 2) Makes a significant contribution to the perceived customer benefits of the end product. 3) Is difficult for competitors to replicate. The McKinsey 7s: The McKinsey organisation model identifies seven interrelated dimensions that determine an organisations effectiveness – strategy, structure, systems, skills, staff, style and super-ordinate goals. It is important to understand the strategic interplay between the elements. All of the seven S's are interconnected. As one is changed, it will have an influence on the others. For example, if the strategy of an organisation changes to adopt a much stronger customer service focused approach, this is likely to result in the need for further training of employees in developing skills required to achieve this. Equally it might impose a change in structure and systems to support the new strategy. It may even have an impact on the values and style of the organisation. 2 Phase Two: The Strategic Options The first step here is to establish if the current strategy adequately addresses the key issues identified. Future scenarios should be developed with a view to establishing what the future might reasonably hold and have a reasonable probability of occurrence. This assists in ensuring that the business develops a reasoned strategy that is consistent with the current environment. One scenario is eventually chosen and should be the most likely and ideally the most desired. Every company faces a huge number of options as to how it can deploy its resources to compete in the market place. There are three main types of strategic decision a firm has to make. 1) Generic strategy decisions. (Porters generic strategies) According to Porter, superior performance can be achieved by three generic strategies - cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. Failure to pursue a particular generic option, can result in an organisation being 'stuck in the middle'. Firms in this position are likely to be the least profitable in the industry 2) Decisions covering alternative growth options/ directions. (Ansoff's matrix). This useful tool outlines the options for a firm in terms of which market it intends to operate (the present or a new one) and whether, in terms of its products it will work with existing products or develop new ones. PRODUCT Present New Market penetration Product Do nothing Present Development Withdrawal Consolidation MARKET Market Diversification Development New 3) Decisions about alternative growth methods - internal development, acquisition and joint venture Phase Three: Option Evaluation Johnson & Scholes propose a two-stage process of strategic choice. First a shortlist of suitable strategic options should be drawn up. These options should then be screened for suitability and acceptability Suitability: How does the anticipated strategy fit the circumstances the business now faces? Does it make the most of its strengths or avoid weaknesses, while dealing with threats in the environment? Feasibility: From a practical and pragmatic point of view, how will this strategy work? Can it be implemented? Are their adequate resources available? Will implementing this strategy be acceptable, adequately profitable and deliver growth? What are the risk factors? Phase 4: Implement the Chosen Strategy This last step should be aimed to ensure that the chosen strategy can be implemented, will work and is as essential to case study learning as the analysis and choice of the best solution. Concepts that will help in this regards include: McKinsey 7s: As noted earlier all of the seven S's are interconnected. As one is changed, it will have an influence on the others. And that if one of the S's changes then each of the other S elements must change to some extent. What changes need to be made? Leadership planning and development within the organisation Timescales Managing change through projects. Offers a cross-functional approach and through the use of project management techniques will provide a manager with ready-made techniques. 3 Team planning: 1 Sondhai, Rakesh, "Total Strategy" Airworthy Publications, 1999 4

Just after 7:10 a.m., the "Top Hats," also known as the members of the
Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, made their ceremonial march toward the
stage, beginning the keynote event of a weekend filled with activity
throughout the town of Punxsutawney.
Members of the Inner Circle greeted the crowd after they worked their
way through it, then it was "time to get serious about the weather,"
as Jeff Lundy, vice president of the Groundhog Club, announced. At
that point, the official festivities began with the introductions of
the members of the Inner Circle.
A young man, Wesley Long (19), was shot and killed late last night, Thursday, January 29, in Antlers.
According to sources an arrest has been made in connection to the shooting.
We will update as information becomes available throughout the investigation.
Recently there has been a lot of talk about budgets, finances and income throughout Pushmataha County.
Our area isn't the only ones having a deeper look into this subject. According to a report that was released from 24/7 Wall Street, they too took a look and have named the poorest county in each state of the United States of America based on the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
On February 10, 2015, an Annual School Board Election, along with a Special Election will be held.
This will give residents, who are registered voters, the chance to select School Board members for Clayton Public School and Antlers Public School, along with voting on whether or not to renew an existing 1 cent sales tax that is distributed among county programs and offices.
The sales tax of 1 cent, that is up for renewal, has been in place since April of 1991. This tax is distributed by percentage to county operations and programs in the community.
The Pushmataha County Assessor's Office, along with 21 other counties, failed an audit of fiscal year 2013-2014 due to not using specific computer programing.
The failure was due to the officers not using the Computer Assisted Math Appraisal System as required by Oklahoma State law.
The petition filed by the members of Choctaw Electric Cooperative to oust the company's nine-member Board of Trustees has now become void following the resignation of all nine members.
The petition, which was filed on Dec. 12, with just over 2,300 validated signatures, required the Co-op to hold a special election of new trustees within 45 days. But that special election will no longer be happening.
"There are no longer any [trustees] named on the petition sitting on the board, therefor there's no reason to have a special meeting," Interim CEO and General Manager Joe Harris said.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/013,936, filed Dec. 14, 2007, the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety, and priority from the filing date of which is hereby claimed under 35 U.S.C. �119.
Flying insects, for example, various social wasps, including paper wasps, hornets and yellow jackets, can be a significant nuisance and a potential hazard to people and animals engaged in outdoor activities. Such flying insects can be prevalent in rural settings and even in very well developed residential areas. Various species of insects, flying and otherwise, are also common in agricultural settings and in other commercial processing venues, including for example meat packing factories, food processing facilities, and livestock ranches.
Traps for flying insects are known in the art and often have been quite successful at trapping target insects. For example, the inventor of the insect trap disclosed herein pioneered conical element hanging traps, such as the wasp traps described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,941, which issued on Nov. 12, 1985, to Schneidmiller, and which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Schneidmiller discloses a transparent cylindrical insect trap that is selective to entrapping wasps. A "wasp" is a generic name applied to insects of the order Hymenoptera, which includes particularly paper wasps, hornets and yellow jackets. The present inventor also discloses certain improvements to the insect trap in U.S. Pat. No. 5,557,880, also incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Previously patented trap structures include a transparent, generally cylindrical entrapment chamber that is open at the bottom, and a base that attaches to the bottom of the entrapment chamber, and defines one or more entryways for the target insect. In the prior art device, the entrapment chamber also includes ventilation openings at the top end of the cylindrical entrapment chamber. The entryways in the base are apertures that permit and encourage entry into the entrapment chamber by wasps. An entry cone shaped as a truncated cone or tapered guide, is disposed in the entrapment chamber. The tapered guide is open at the bottom, which is directly adjacent to the perimeter at the bottom of the entrapment chamber, and includes a smaller open aperture at the top end of the tapered guide. Wasps or other target insects enter the trap through the entryways, and fly or climb into the cone, passing through the smaller aperture in its truncated upper end. The target insect thereby becomes entrapped in the cylindrical chamber. Once the target insect is inside the chamber, exiting is highly improbable.
Insect traps may utilize one or more attractants to lure target insects into the trap. The attractant may be as simple as water, or may be a chemical attractant that is targeted to a particular species. For example, the attractant may be an olfactory attractant for the target insect. In one embodiment, the attractant is a volatile attractant formed into a solid with a polyurethane matrix, such that the attractant will evaporate and escape from the matrix over a period of time. The attractant may combine water with a volatile olfactory attractant, wherein the volatile olfactory attractant mixes with vapors from a chemical attractant and/or water in a separate container, the mixed vapors exiting the trap in a plume. An effective attractant plume will attract the target insects toward the trap, and in particular toward the trap entryway. Various attractants or combination of attractants may be used, including both solid and liquid attractants, providing great flexibility in selecting from a range and combination of attractants.
Portions of the trap may be colored and/or reflective to visually attract one or more target insects, and/or a volatile olfactory attractant may be provided to aid in attracting the target insect(s). Any such coloring and attractant may be selected to entice or attract a particular species of insect, providing a high degree of selectivity to the trap.
However, it is known that certain species of insects are territorial, and/or do not co-mingle. Members of a territorial insect species may be mutually or unilaterally antagonistic and/or repulsive toward other insect species. Sometimes mutually antagonistic species share a common environment (such as a residential yard, an orchard, a field, a wooded area, or the like) but avoid or repel each other when they come into close proximity. In such cases, conventional insect traps may be ineffective for one or more desired target species due to the close-proximity repulsion between target species.
However, it is inconvenient, costly and/or unsightly to set out multiple traps in order to attract and entrap multiple species of insects. There remains a need, therefore, for improvements in insect traps that are suitable for entrapping more than one species of insect.
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
An insect trap is disclosed having an entrapment chamber defining more than one chamber for entrapping insects. The compartments have open ends that are spaced apart from each other. An entry structure is attached to the open end of each compartment, the entry structure defining entry apertures for insect access to the individual compartments. By providing a single trap with spaced apart entries, different insects may be attracted and entrapped, even if the species are not typically disposed to be in close proximity to each other.
In an embodiment, the entry structure is spaced at least six inches from the second entry structure.
One or more of the different compartments may contain an insect attractant that is directed to a particular target insect, and wherein the attractant generates a plume that emanates from the associated entry structure. A second compartment may contain a second insect attractant that generates a second attractant plume that emanates from the second entry structure. In particular, the first insect attractant may be targeted to a different species of insect than the second insect attractant.
In a current embodiment, the insect trap includes one or more tapered guides extending from the entry structure into the associate compartment. The tapered guides, which may be generally conical, have a large open proximal end that overlies the associated entry apertures, and a small open distal end. The tapered guide may include a plurality of apertures to encourage the target insect to enter the trap, but are small enough to inhibit escape.
The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Various traps for insects, and particularly for flying insects, are known in the art. An exemplary trap for wasps and related insects is disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/052,663, filed on Mar. 20, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,886,481, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
A perspective view of an exemplary multi-species insect trap 100 in accordance with the present invention is shown in
A first entry structure 120 is removably attached at a top end 112 of the entrapment chamber 110, providing insect access to the first compartment 102. Although various entry structures may be used, the currently preferred first entry structure shown in
The attachment fixture 132 includes an upper cap portion 136 that is fixed to the top end of the vertical panels 134, and may include a hanging nib 138 to accommodate a string, strap or the like such that the trap 100 may be hung, for example from a tree limb or building eave.
It will now be appreciated from the figures that the lid 122 and vertical panels 134 of the first entry structure 120 define three entryways into the tapered guide 126 and the first compartment 102. It is further contemplated that the first entry structure 120 may include a mechanism, such as an aperture, channel, opposed prongs, adhesive, bowl portion, or the like, for retaining an attractant, to preferentially attract a particular species of insect.
A second entry structure 140 is removably attached at a bottom end 114 of the entrapment chamber 110, providing insect access to the second compartment 104. Although various entry structures may be used in the present invention, as will be apparent to persons of skill in the art, a currently-preferred second entry structure will be described. The second entry structure shown in
The lower lid 142 also includes a cup portion 152 that may be used to retain, for example, a liquid attractant such as water or water with a chemical attractant. A retainer structure 154 comprising two upwardly-extending prongs is also provided that may be used, for example, to hold a solid attractant (not shown) or the like. Although liquid and solid attractants are believed to be most common, it will be appreciated by persons of skill in the art that other forms of attractant, for example semi-solid attractants (such as pastes or gels) or combinations thereof, may alternatively be used, and may be preferred for some applications. Of course various combinations of one or more of solid, liquid and other attractants may be utilized.
It will now be appreciated from the figures that the lower lid 142 entry apertures 144 define entryways into the second tapered guide 146 and the second compartment 104.
The trap 100 with the first entry structure 120 spaced apart from the second entry structure 140 provides longitudinally spaced entryways for trapping target insects in two separate compartments 102, 104. One or both of the entry structures 120, 140 may include attractant for target insects. If both of the entry structures 120, 140 include attractant, the attractants may be individually formulated and targeted to specific insects, whereby the trap may be used to entrap different species of insect.
In one embodiment the entryways defined by the first entry structure 120 are spaced at least six inches from the second entry structure 140 apertures 144, and more preferably at least eight inches from the entry apertures 144. However, it will be appreciated by persons of skill in the art that the spacing of the entryways may be different, for example the spacing may be selected based on the particular insects that are the intended targets of the trap, the particular attractant(s) intended to be used with the trap, and/or the intended location or mode for using the trap.
When separate attractants are provided in each of the compartments 102, 104, one plume will be produced from the first entry structure, and a second plume will emanate from the second entry structure 140. Near the trap 100 two attractant plumes will be spatially separate, one plume emanating from near the top of the trap 100, and the second plume emanating from near the bottom of the trap 100. Therefore, it is contemplated that the attractants may be selected such that a first target insect is preferentially attracted by the first plume to the first compartment 102, and a second target insect, which may be hostile to, or repulsed by, the first target insect, may be preferentially attracted by the second plume to the second compartment 104.
At a distance from the trap 100 the first and second plumes may mix and/or merge as they spread out due to convection and diffusion processes. With suitable attractants, the merged plumes may provide a synergistic effect attracting two or more target species of insects toward the trap 100. Because the mixed plume results from two different attractant sources, and emanate from spaced-apart passages, the resulting plume will be larger than a plume from a single attractant source. The larger plume will therefore be effective at longer distances. In the larger plume the antagonistic insects may remain far enough apart to preclude one insect species from repulsing the other away from the trap 100. As the target insects approach nearer the trap 100, they will tend towards the preferred attractant at opposite ends of the trap, whereby one insect species will not interfere with trapping a second insect species. It will also be appreciated that the expired or expiring insects of one species will remain in one compartment spaced away from the entryway of the other compartment, so trapped insects from one species should not be in a position to repulse insects from the other species.
The trap 100 therefore allows two or more attractant releasing sources and collection chambers in a single trap. The trap 100 also reduces or eliminates antagonistic effects between attractants (food attractants, kairomones, insect sex or aggregation pheromones) for multiple insect species; thus one trap can catch more than one target insect species, eliminating the need for multiple individual traps (one for each species) that would be required to achieve the same efficacy.
The trap 100 provides for the combination of wet and dry traps in a single trap. For example, the second compartment 104 might be used as a wet trap, i.e., loaded with a certain amount of water, with or without attractants. The water itself can be either an attractant for some insects and/or a drowning agent. Water vapor may also function as a controlled release substrate for some water-dissolvable, highly volatile chemical attractant (e.g. short chain acids). The first compartment 102 might then be used as a dry trap, especially good for attractant chemicals that are heavier than air.
In one embodiment, an attractant generating a plume that is heavier than air is provided in the first compartment 102, and an attractant generating a plume that is lighter than air or neutrally buoyant is provided in the second compartment, such that the plumes will mix at a distance from the trap 100.
It is contemplated that the top and bottom entryways could be of the same or different design, depending on the insects of interest to be trapped in different chambers. The two compartments may be symmetrical (i.e. same size or length/diameter) or asymmetrical. For example the first chamber may be longer than the second chamber, or vice versa.
Exemplary and beneficial uses of this new trap 100 are as follows:
a. A universal trap for various species, including but not limited to insects of order Hymenoptera, such as yellow jacket, wasps and hornets. Both sugar lures and heptyl butyrate related lures can be set up in different compartments of the same trap, and catch most of (if not all) the yellow jacket, paper wasp and hornet species in any region.
b. A universal trap for different garden moth insects in different regions and seasons: both sugar lure (Acetid acid/3-methyl-1-butanol) for Noctuidae and floral lure (Phenylacetaldhyde/β-Myrcene/Benzyl Acetate/Methyl Salicylate/Methyl-2methoxy Benzoate) for looper moths will be able to put in different chambers (sugar lure on the top, and floral attractant on the bottom chamber) of the same trap.
c. A universal trap for sympatric moths or other insect species that use different antagonistic semiochemical components (e.g., pheromones) or different antagonistic semiochemical component ratios (for reproductive isolation): separation of these antagonistic semiochemical systems in different chambers of the same trap might reduce or eliminate the antagonistic effects for both species. Such antagonistic effect has been reported for many species such as: (i) the codling moth (Cydia pomonella) with the summer fruit tortrix moth (Adoxophyes orana) (Potting et al., Journal of Comparative Physiology A: Neuroethology, Sensory, Neural, and Behavioral Physiology 185:419-425, 1999); (ii) four European small ermine moths (Yponomeutidae) (Lofstedt & Van de Pers, JCE 11:649-666, 1985); (iii) Helicoverpa zea with three leliothine moth species (Baker et al., Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 855:511-513, 1998); (iv) Autographa gamma (L.) with Trichoplusia ni, or Chrysodeixis chalcities (Esp.) (Mazor & Dunkelblum, JCE 18:2373-2384, 1992); (v) Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) with H. assulta (Guenee) (Noctuidae) (Ming et al., Journal of Insect Physiology 53:170-178, 2007); (vi) Choristoneura rosaceana with Pandemis limitata (both from Tortricidae) (Evenend et al., JCE 25:501-517, 1999); and (vii) several Ips bark beetle species in Eurasia (Kohnle et al., Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 49:43-53, 1988).
An advantage of a trap as disclosed herein, over conventional insect traps, is that a single trap may be used for multiple species of insects, reducing the overall costs by reducing the number of traps required and easing the task of emptying and replenishing attractant in the traps. A single trap may also be significantly less aesthetically objectionable than multiple traps. For example, in a garden or in a recreational area it may be undesirable to deploy different traps for different species of pests.
A second exemplary embodiment of a multi-compartment insect trap 200 is shown in
In the insect trap 200 the right and left compartments 206, 208 are closed at their distal end by the outer wall of the upper first compartment 202. For example, the right and left compartments 206, 208 may be affixed to the upper first compartment 202 using a suitable adhesive. Alternatively, entire entrapment chamber 210 may be formed as a unitary structure having internal plates or other structure separating the individual compartments. For example the entrapment chamber 210 may be formed from two essentially identical halves joined along a seam.
A similar multi-compartment insect trap 250 with compartments disposed along three generally orthogonal axes, and having six compartments and six spaced apart entryways is shown in
Several currently-preferred multi-compartment insect traps are disclosed and described above. It will be readily apparent to persons of skill in the art that various changes to the disclosed embodiments may be made without departing from the present invention.
For example, particular insect species will be more likely to enter entryways or entry apertures that are oriented at an angle other than vertical or horizontal, e.g., 30� or 45�, and it is specifically contemplated that traps according to the present embodiment may utilize such angled entryways. The generally axisymmetric shape of the entrapment chambers and related structure is also not critical to the trap, and it is contemplated that suitable traps may be constructed in other shapes, including shapes intended to be more attractive to target insects or traps intended to be more aesthetically suitable in a particular setting. Similarly, the trap may be substantially opaque, rather than transparent or translucent. It is contemplated that traps of the present invention may alternatively be constructed to be installed differently, for example the lower structure may be provided with a stake such that the trap can be staked into the ground, or provided with a stand or legs for placement on a surface, or provided with mounting hardware for mounting to other natural or manmade structures. These and other variations will be readily apparent to artisans in the field.
Suitable attractants and entryway structures include, but are clearly not limited to, those disclosed in the patents and applications incorporated by reference above.
While illustrative embodiments have been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Nylon Jane in her dungeon in pantyhose and knee length bootsMonday, June 22nd, 2015
Nylon Jane is one kinky bitch. She has a love for a lot more than pantyhose. You will see it all on her site. Nylon Jane fucking men, Nylon Jane fucking women and also Nylon Jane fucking transvestites. Jane does the lot. And you will find this huge mega site, one of the kinkiest sites on the net. One of Nylon Jane's fetish's is being a mistress in her very own dungeon. So Nylon Jane, not one to hold back on sexual experience's, built her own dungeon where she entertains her slaves. See her in her pantyhose and thigh high length PVC boots, waiting for a new client. Who I imagine will be getting his arse whacked with Nylon Jane's riding crop. Wouldn't you think? I bet Nylon Jane makes her slave sniff her arse through her pantyhose, don't you? That is obviously why nylon Jane is pulling open her pantyhose covered arse cheeks. To give her slave a space to stick his nose. Right in her pantyhose covered arse hole. Would you like that? Would you like to sniff Nylon Jane's pantyhose covered arse hole? I fucking would, that is for sure.
