Delta Five’s Automated Insect Monitoring System is research-tested and has a proven 98 percent success rate at detecting bed bugs and other insects while preventing pest encounters. The devices are already in locations across the United States and around the globe. Michael Heeden, president of Winston Hospitality, has been a client of Delta Five since August 2016. While skeptical at first about the Delta Five system, Heeden has become a true believer and vocal advocate for its effectiveness seeing first-hand how well it is working in Winston Hospitality properties.

Winston Hospitality has a reputation in the industry for developing and operating hotels with an emphasis on quality and a focus on long-term financial success.The company manages brands like Hilton, Marriott, and IHG as well as casino hotels and more. At one location, the property did a full-installation with Delta Five’s Automated Insect Monitoring System. After the Delta Five system was installed, bed bugs and other insects were caught almost immediately, even right after pest control treatments. The property found that the system had significantly reduced guest encounters with bed bugs and other insects, and that 100 percent of the time insects were caught by the monitoring system even before hotel guests noticed them.

At another property, the Automated Insect Monitoring System even helped the hotel staff identify a moisture issue because silverfish were caught in small sections of the hotel in specific rooms on several occasions by the system. It helped the hotel realize there was a specific issue happening in just those rooms. Utilizing Delta Five’s system, Winston Hospitality was also able to reduce the amount of chemical treatments in guest rooms.

“Bed bugs and other insects are an issue for all hotels, and we have researched every product on the market and haven’t found anything that works for us as well as Delta Five,” says Heeden. “We have even tested the limits of the lure to see how far we can stretch it beyond the recommended four months and found that it’s still catching bed bugs and other insects. Using this system provides us a green solution so we are able to reduce bed bugs and other insects while limiting the amount of chemicals guests are exposed to with more traditional treatments.”

The Automated Insect Monitoring System is the first and only 24/7, safe, Wi-Fi-enabled bed bug solution. It’s discreet and compact and provides unprecedented early detection. Most important, the system is organic and chemical-free, protecting the health of people and the environment. The lure is simply bed bug pheromones used to draw in the bed bugs, but it also draws in other species like silverfish, roaches, fruit flies, and carpet beetles, among other insects.

 The system is also compact and easy to use. It attaches easily to out-of-sight surfaces and provides remote 24/7 monitoring with real-time notification. The all-natural, odorless lure attracts bed bugs and other insects, which are noticed by the device’s internal cameras that, in turn, activate the traps. The WiFi-enabled system immediately notifies users via email or SMS. Users can simultaneously track thousands of sites, view images of captured pests and see alerts on the Delta Five dashboard. Because the system traps the insects, disposal is also easy.

As Heeden found, hotels that are innovating with the Delta Five system are staying ahead of the curve with early detection and prevention while limiting their guests’ exposure to insects and traditional pest treatments. To learn more about Delta Five’s Automated Insect Monitoring System, visit

Zero electrical resistance for new applications

How superconductors transform energy management

 A potential game-changer for Nexans

New processes developed in universities and national or industrial laboratories have enabled the fabrication of thin superconducting films.

These films are made of flat ceramic crystals, with the current running inside the crystals along parallel planes. The thin films are perfect, simple crystalline models, and have allowed us to understand that the connectivity and the alignment of the crystals are driving the high-voltage performance in all superconducting ceramics, whether in deposited layers like Yttrium cuprates, or in melt casts, like bulk bismuth cuprates (from Latin cuprum, meaning copper).

At lab scale, if we extrapolate the current obtained on a micrometer (µm) coated layer to a 1 cm² cross-section, we can achieve the equivalent of several million Amps in an optimized superconductor using technologies similar to those used in microelectronics. This vastly exceeds the few hundreds of A/cm² possible in bulk ceramics obtained by melt casting.

In terms of cable systems, the key step forward was combining and adapting know-how in wire manufacturing, cable design and production to this new type of material.

The most recent and largest test site of the LIPA (Long Island Power Authority) project is a powerful demonstration of a collaborative effort to which Nexans’s cable know-how and manufacturing skills decisively contributed.

This collaborative effort culminated in a 600-meter-long cable, connecting two substations and operating at –200°C (liquid nitrogen). It is able to transmit 600 MVA – i.e. 3 times more power than existing lines using the same right-of-ways – with lower environmental impact (fig 2).

Superconductive applications are now slowly emerging from the laboratory to the operational world, with cables and new types of devices in actual operation in power grids. At a time when energy concerns are making headlines, superconductivity is becoming a practical alternative to regular devices, since they are smaller, lighter and more efficient.

The technology is relevant for several applications:

  • HV transmission in critical paths with more energy and lower environmental impact
  • Fault current limiting to reduce fault damage to equipment and help secure the grid with easier circuit breaking (fig 1)
  • Power storage (or compensation) using high inductance superconducting coils with low losses
  • Highly-efficient compact power conversion chains (generators-cables-motors) for offshore energy, all-electric ships or airplanes

While it still remains difficult to work with current HTS materials, intense activity on the scientific front hints at possible major discoveries in the near future with upscale production of film coating techniques as electrical engineers are getting familiar with superconductivity. Even minor improvements in superconductor materials, reproducibility and performance could significantly speed-up the development and generalization of superconducting applications. Nexans’ experience in turnkey superconducting systems could allow customers to quickly take advantage of superconductivity potential to achieve new breakthroughs.

Causes - Sickle cell disease

Sickle cell disease is caused by faulty genes that a child inherits from their parents.

It's not caused by anything the parents did before or during the pregnancy and you can't catch it from someone who has it.

How sickle cell disease is inherited

Genes come in pairs. You inherit one set from your mother and one set from your father.

To be born with sickle cell disease, a child has to inherit a copy of the faulty sickle cell gene from both of their parents.

This usually happens when both parents are "carriers" of the faulty gene – also known as having the sickle cell trait.

Sickle cell carriers don't have sickle cell disease themselves, but there's a chance they could have a child with the condition if their partner is also a carrier.

If both parents are sickle cell carriers, there's a:

  • 1 in 4 (25%) chance each child they have will not inherit any faulty genes and won't have sickle cell disease or be able to pass it on
  • 1 in 2 (50%) chance each child they have will just inherit a copy of the faulty gene from one parent and be a carrier
  • 1 in 4 (25%) chance each child they have will inherit copies of the faulty gene from both parents and will be born with sickle cell disease

The Sickle Cell Society has more information about the inheritance of sickle cell disease, including what the risks are if a parent has sickle cell disease themselves.

Who's most at risk of sickle cell disease?

Sickle cell disease mainly affects people with an African, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, Eastern Mediterranean and Asian family background.

In the UK, it's most commonly seen in people of African and Caribbean backgrounds. It's estimated that one in every 10 people in this group carries sickle cell.

A simple blood test will show whether you're a carrier. This is done routinely during pregnancy and after birth, but you can ask to have the test at any time.

Read more about getting tested for the sickle cell trait and being a sickle cell carrier.

How sickle cell disease affects the body

Your genes are the set of instructions found inside every cell in your body. They determine characteristics such as the colour of your eyes and hair.

People with sickle cell disease have a problem with the genes involved in the development of haemoglobin – a substance found in red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body.

Normal red blood cells are flexible and disc-shaped, but in sickle cell disease they can become rigid and shaped like a crescent or sickle because the haemoglobin inside them clumps together.

These unusual cells can cause symptoms of sickle cell disease because they don't live as long as normal red blood cells and can become stuck in blood vessels.

Prince Charles reportedly puts an end to Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton feud

Prince Charles is so over the royal drama.

During an appearance on the Australian morning show Sunrise on Friday, Jan. 25, 2019, royal family biographer Robert Jobson claimed that the Prince of Wales has put an end to the alleged ongoing feud between duchesses Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, The Sun reports.

"There's some truth in the rumors," Jobson alleged, adding, "I think there's no smoke without fire. I do think it has been blown up a little bit, but there have obviously been a few problems between the two ladies and even between the two princes." Of the supposedly fed-up prince, Jobson said, "I'm sure at Christmas Prince Charles was knocking heads together, and you can see that by those photographs of them all walking together in a line."

Readers may remember that, following weeks of ongoing speculation surrounding growing tensions within the British royal family, the so-called "Royal Fab Four" — Markle, Prince Harry, Middleton, and Prince William — were spotted walking together through the English countryside on Christmas Day to the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Sandringham. The royal family's high-profile outing appeared to be a cordial occasion for the Sussexes and the Cambridges, who were all smiles during their morning stroll.

At the time, it seemed the reportedly feuding couples had finally been able to put to rest any lingering rumors amid the holiday season. For his part, Jobson seemed to suggest that the moment may have been encouraged by the duchess' father-in-law himself, claiming, "They looked like they had been pushed together in a line, to be honest."

However, it should be noted that the royal pairings reportedly went on enjoy a festive luncheon at Queen Elizabeth II's nearby estate, before settling in to watch her annual Christmas speech to the nation (via the Daily Mail). "Closer to home, it has been a busy year for my family," the queen said in a sweet nod to her loved ones (via Time). "With two weddings and two babies, and another child expected soon, it helps to keep a grandmother well occupied."

Unfortunately, rumors surrounding Markle's bond with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 36, wasn't the only bad press she endured in late 2018. In addition to claims made about her alleged treatment of key staff members, the former Suits actress reportedly acquired the unflattering nickname of "Duchess Difficult" from royal staffers. Meanwhile, reports that Prince William had been concerned over his younger brother's choice in a wife also surfaced. Further fueling this hearsay at the time were reports that Markle and Prince Harry planned to distance themselves from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their move from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage on Windsor Estate (via People). However, a Kensington Palace rep has since told The Sun that "none of this is true."

Despite a reportedly "frustrating and stressful" few months of battling tabloid gossip, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had one major reason to celebrate. As Nicki Swift previously reported, Markle, 37, and Prince Harry, 34, who tied the knot at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in May 2018, are expecting their first child together. Earlier this month, Markle showed off her growing baby bump during a royal outing while sharing some major news about her pregnancy: baby no. 1's due date is in late April or early May. At the time, Rebecca English of the Daily Mail tweeted, "Meghan said she didn't know whether they were having a boy or a girl. She said she wants it to be a surprise!"

According to a source recently cited by Us Weekly, the soon-to-be-parents have been keeping plenty busy preparing for their child's birth and scouting out hospitals for the delivery. Claiming that their top choice is their local Frimley Park Hospital, the insider said, "It will be much less chaos and more of a private event than if she gives birth in London [at high-profile St. Mary's Hospital] like Kate did." Indeed, the birth of Kate Middleton and Prince William's third child, a son named Prince Louis, became a highly-publicized affair in April 2018. The proud parents are also mom and dad to Prince George, 5, and Princess Charlotte, 3.

If Prince Charles' reported intervention among the royal sisters-in-law did little to ease their alleged tension, we imagine the exciting arrival of the British royals' newest little addition might just help do the trick.
