Important phytophagous (plantfeeding) and pestiferous stink bug species in Arkansas include the green stink bug, Acrosternum hilare (Say), the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.), the brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say) and the rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.) (Figure 1).

Southern green stink bug adults can be differentiated from green stink bug adults by the color of bands on antennae. Southern green stink bugs have red bands, while green stink bugs have black bands on the antennae. Another useful characteristic for properly identifying these two species can be observed on the ventral surface (underside) of the insects. When viewed in this aspect, adult green stink bugs have a pointed spine between the base of the hind legs that projects forward toward the head (Figure 2). Adult southern green stink bugs have a more rounded spine in the same location (Figure 3).

ABOUT THIS STUDY GUIDE

Adventist Advantage
A number of investigations conducted painstakingly by scientists reveal that the incidence of several serious diseases is less frequent among Seventh-day Adventists than among the population as a whole; also that Adventists, on an average, live longer. “Adventist advantage” is the way Time magazine designated this phenomenon, as it reported on a five-year survey.

How different from the beginning days of Adventist history, when members of our church lived and ate very much as did their neighbors, and suffered likewise. They shared in the statistics that marked off an average life expectancy of some thirty-two years. One child in four died before the age of 7. Night air was considered poisonous. If a person was burning up with fever the attending physician, concluding that his patient had too much blood, might relieve him of a pint or two. Germs were unknown. People lived from winter to winter, fearful lest an epidemic of smallpox, diphtheria, or cholera would decimate the population. Except for the process of salting and drying, the science of food preservation was unknown. Meals were heavy with various and sundry meats, fried foods, and rich pastries. Milk was often supplied by cows poorly cared for and often tuberculous, for testing was unknown, and pasteurization was still years away. The farm worker with his long days of toil was seldom satisfied with three meals a day.

Prevent Heating Oil Leaks and Spills

Cleaning up oil leaks from home heating systems can be very expensive. The average cost can range between $20,000 and $50,000, with some cleanups costing significantly more. Here are some ways to save money, help prevent leaks and spills, and protect the environment.

For all heating oil systems:

• Retain all oil delivery receipts. Keep them handy so you can track your oil demand. Unexpected increases may indicate a leak.
• At least every 10 years, have the oil tank cleaned out. Over time, water (from condensation) and sludge can cause corrosion resulting in leaks.

For underground tanks:

• Determine if the underground storage tank is made of steel (common) or fiberglass (rare). Most steel underground storage tanks will last approximately 10 to 20 years. If the tank is older than that or the age is unknown, replace it with an above ground storage tank. Locate your new tank under a shelter, or inside a basement or garage to prevent rust, corrosion, or damage.

Microsoft has reigned the browser market for a long time, ever since it took the original Netscape browser out of the picture; there has been no competitor able to keep up with Internet Explorer. Unfortunately for end users however, the software giant has been sitting duck for about half of its lifetime, adding almost no new features since IE 6 was introduced in 2001, and until very recently, barely keeping up with security holes found in its browser.

Just as Linux is to Windows, Mozilla’s open-source Firefox is to Internet Explorer. The fact is, although IE is still the top used browser, Firefox is by far the best out there (Opera is fantastic, too, just not completely free).

Just to name a few reasons why Firefox is better than IE… free download, small (4.7mb), built-in tabbed browsing, better web standards support, cross-platform, better security, highly customizable, open-source community = extensions for everyone.
