Business associates were generally not concerned with HIPAA beyond simply having the business associate agreement in place, she says. However, today many in the healthcare industry are beginning to realize the importance and seriousness of HIPAA compliance.
Maple Tree â Tick Prevention. Q: When I sit under a maple tree in my backyard in summer, I get ticks in my hair. How can I prevent ticks on the tree? A: According to tick expert Dr. Nancy Hinkle, ticks do not fall from trees, because theyâre not in trees in the first place. Ticks hang around at ground level because they depend on high humidity. They move up on grass blades, about ankle level, never more than knee high, to wait for mammal hosts.
The Japanese beetle is fading away, for example. Typical late summer insects present now include fall webworm, annual cicada, and katydids. Cicadas and katydids are heard more than seen. The annual or dog-day cicada makes considerable noise while sitting up in shade trees during the heat of the day. Some refer to them as sewing bugs. This is not the same insect as the periodical cicada, which is also called either the 13 or 17-year locust. Annual cicadas rarely cause noticeable damage to trees, so control is rarely suggested. Katydids also make noise while sitting in trees, but at night. Male katydids sing through much of the night from the tops of trees. Katydids are green, about 2 to 3 inches long, and have both long antennae and legs. These insects do not cause any significant damage to trees. Depending on your point of view, their singing may be annoying or just a soothing sound of the summer night. Of the three, fall webworms are the most visible.
