Deaf since birth, Antoinette Abbamonte, a professional actress, comes from a deaf family. Wanting her hearing sons and their friends to experience deaf culture, she uses a wise old tree to teach them about it.
"Tree Wise" is a story of a boy who has parents who are deaf. With the help of a very special tree, the boy teaches his friends about deaf culture.
"Deaf culture really grows from a set of people. Language called American Sign Language," said Antoinette.
Being a mom to 6-year-old Dylan and 3-year-old Jayden is not always easy.
"Why are my friends, their mother, their parents can hear? Hearing, My mom is deaf. Alright okay. Inside me I feel bad. I feel bad for him I told him, that's okay, deaf mom loves you no matter what," said Antoinette.
"Tree Wise" is a great education tool for elementary age children. Antoinette also visits schools sharing her experiences through her book.
"Hopefully, we can develop experience, hearing deaf together. At times we have to take more work to (reach the) hearing community," said Antoinette.
Antoinette has recently started working on her second book called "My Triangle Vacation".
"It's about different people, in diversity, many different cultures, sort of a parent's marriage again, stepparents, stepchildren and their half brothers and sisters," Antoinette said.
When you ask Dylan what he thinks of "Tree Wise," he says...
"It's good."
"Tree Wise" will become a children's play produced and performance by the National Theater of the Deaf.

How-To: Windows Time Synchronization
I tried to configure my windows desktop to synchronize with a test NTP server. This should be easy enough. Just go to Date and Time Properties -> Internet Time then check Automatically synchronize… and choose your NTP server. Mine however, flashed an error in synchronizing message.
Seconds after syncing another system with FC6 OS (ntpdate -u), which by the way worked instantly, we figured out the problem's with my Windows settings. Here's a quick fix (for personal/future use).
Open a command line and issue the ff. commands:
- w32tm /unregister
- w32tm /register
- net start w32time
If the service is not running, or you get an error trying to manually start Windows Time in the Services Tool, you may need to issue this command.
- svchost -k netsvcs

As with any investment, you will want to make the most of it. Real estate is a great investment because it rarely loses values and usually goes up in value. A few tips follow below to assist you in your real review of Control Finance estate investment goals.
You should take the time to learn as much as you can before you begin a career as a real estate investor. By doing good research, you will learn all the ins and outs of the business. It is recommended that you research as much information as possible to better your chances of success.
Always familiarize yourself with property values in the area. It is vital to know the area that you are buying in. When you can see how things are going from the street, you can be smarter about your choices.
Always have any property inspected by a professional, third party before investing. Sellers often will cover the costs of inspections. However, it is best to use an independent contractor who is not connected to either you or the seller for best results. Get a report from someone that is neutral.
Consider the amount of time you can realistically devote to managing property. Tenant issues can eat up your time. Consider hiring a company that handles property management.
Do not assume that real estate will always go up. This is an assumption that can be quite dangerous regardless of the type of property you own. The most reliable investments are the ones that will give you a cash flow almost immediately. Property value appreciation will definitely be good for your income.
Avoid buying property that is dirt cheap. It may be difficult to sell, even after extensive remodeling. Invest what you have to into something of value that is more likely to return your investment.
Make sure you think about the rental income for a home when you are thinking about the actual value. This can allow you to make thousands of dollars during the course of the year from people who are staying in your place. Then after some time, the home could be resold for even more money.
Think about partnering with a company that specializes in property management. Although they will charge you a percentage of the rent, these companies often save you money and time. The property management company will screen your potential renters and handle any repair costs. This gives you more time to concentrate on finding other properties in which to invest.
Sound bookkeeping is essential to getting this done. When you start out with real estate investing, it may be easy to let the bookkeeping fall by the wayside. It is true that you have other things you need to worry about. Good book keeping is crucial, though. You can stave off serious concerns down the road if you take care of your books from the start.
Do you live in an area where property values are increasing? Are rentals full? Depending on your property plans, you need to be concerned with these couple questions. Buy low when flipping, and don't price your rentals too high.
Learning about real estate will cost you something at some point. It may cost you in terms of time, kind of like how you're reading this article now. Orl you could chance having to learn from a costly mistake in the future. Do what you can to gain knowledge from the people you know.
You must learn to negotiate if you want to be a successful investor. You can easily save yourself tens of thousands of dollars by negotiating and renegotiating the asking prices on properties. You can read books, take a class, or do whatever you need to do to learn to properly negotiate.
Real estate investing takes determination. You must have financial stamina, negotiating skills, and be ready for substantial risk. Some properties might turn a profit with little effort, but these properties are few and far between.
Join forums online dedicated to investment. This is a good place to learn from investment experts on smart ways of investing. You will be able to ask questions to professionals. Investment message boards are generally helpful and encouraging. It's a good way for the novice to begin learning sound investment advice.
Don't let your emotions rule you. Set a deliberate plan, and stay with it. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you should have seen a particular problem that was brewing. Avoid thinking that you'll succeed if you've got an unbeatable strategy. Do your research and put objective data into your investment plan.
After reading these tips that can help you start investing in real estate it is time to put them to use. Investing in real estate offers a great way to make money. This article helps to steer you in the right direction.

As the globe's top venture capitalist, John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers has funded and mentored tons of start-up Silicon Valley companies that became fantastically successful, including Google, Amazon, Intuit, and Electronic Arts, Twitter, Square and Zynga. But one of his worst bets may turn out to be personally hiring Ellen Pao in 2005. Pao is dragging Doerr into her lawsuit for $16 million for sexual discrimination after 7 years at the firm.
When Pao was hired at KPCB, she had an impressive résumé: graduating from Princeton University with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1991; Harvard Law School in 1994; two years as a corporate attorney at Cravath, Swaine & Moore from 1994 – 1996; back to Harvard Business School for an MBA; and four years in Silicon Valley tech. She joined KPCB in 2005 with a starting salary of $200,000. She collected $100,000 bonuses annually and was regularly promoted. Pao became a partner and earned $400,000 by 2012, plus bonus. Pao was on the ladder to make senior partner at the firm, where she might make $1-to-$3-million a year.
But as she was leaving in 2012 to be CEO of the viral chat room Reddit, Pao turned down a $400,000 KPCB severance and filed a $16 million sexual discrimination suit.
Pao alleges that Kleiner Perkins did not promote her quickly enough due to her gender, ignored her complaints about being harassed by some KPCB partners, and then fired her in retribution after she filed her lawsuit against the firm.
John Doerr testified under oath this week, in a grueling 7.5-hour testimony with Pao's attorney, Alan Exelrod, that he hired Pao and had been her mentor. Doerr answered questions about Pao's personality and work ethic, the stress of the venture capital business, and how he tried to respond to complaints Pao and other women lodged against their male colleagues at KPCB.
Doerr was adamant that he fought for Pao to stay and continue to be successful at the firm. "I didn't want her to go," he said. "I wanted her to stay." But he also admitted that he had to regularly warn Pao about how she callously treated her colleagues. Pao "was not regarded as a team player," in Doerr's opinion.
In opening arguments last week, Exelrod said that during Pao's tenure, none of the managing partners at the KPCB were female. Exelrod emphasized that, at the time Pao left Kleiner Perkins in 2012, only one woman had been promoted from junior partner to senior partner, though a few women had been hired in as senior partners.
But John Doerr was adamant in defending the fairness of the KPCB employment climate and the firm's actions. Under intense questioning, Doerr claimed that Kleiner Perkins was not male-dominated. He pointed out that biotechnology startup expert Cynthia Healy was made the first female investing partner at Kleiner Perkins in the 1990s. "I don't consider Kleiner to be a firm run by men," he continued. "There have been a lot of female partners, junior and senior." Doerr added, "We have many female partners, and general partners." He emphasized, "That was as true in 2012 as it is now."
Exelrod hammered Doerr about his involvement with Pao's harassment complaints against her colleague Ajit Nazre. Pao has asserted that after she was first hired at KPCB, she was forced into a brief sexual affair with Nazre, who was married and had small children. Exelrod stated that although Pao broke off the relationship, Nazre allegedly began harassing Pao and she had to approach Doerr in 2007 to stop it.
"Did you talk to Mr. Nazre about this?" asked Exelrod. Doerr testified, "Yes, he told me he engaged with her in a consensual affair, that he loved her, that it was over, that she wanted him to leave his kids, and he couldn't do that."
When Exelrod suggested that Nazre's side of the story was untrustworthy, Doerr responded that when they spoke, Nazre was "very emotional," and that "he was trembling, he was very agitated." Doerr said he told Nazre's his behavior reflected a serious lack of judgment and he moved to punish him. "He did not earn his full bonus" that year. Doerr added, "The biggest punishment was that I told him I had lost confidence in his ability to be a leader at the firm."
Exelrod tried to undermine Doerr's testimony by pointing out that Nazre was promoted to senior partner the very next year. On Monday, former Hewlett Packard Executive Chairman Ray Lane testified he "made a mistake" when he did not inform others that another female junior partner, Trae Vasallo, had complained about harassment from Nazre. Doerr acknowledged that Nazre's mentor, Ray Lane, fought for the promotion. Doerr admitted, "I don't remember how I voted on that, but the partnership promoted him."
Pao's lawsuit has generated huge headlines about money and sex. Despite her lawsuit being complicated by her own personality and actions, Pao has become of a cult heroine to many women pursuing their future in Silicon Valley.

€26 million for local authority housing will reduce the Clare waiting list and create jobs – Breen
Clare T.D and Chairman of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs on Trade Pat Breen has, today (Wednesday) welcomed the allocation of €26,065,405, for local authority housing in Clare. This is part of a national allocation of funding by Minister of State at the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government, Paudie Coffey TD, as part of the Government's €3.8 billion social housing strategy announced last November out to 2020.
"In Clare €26,065,405 has been allocated to the County Council for local authority housing. It is estimated that this funding will meet 26% of the housing need in Clare which will go a long way towards reducing the waiting list. This is not even including the Housing Assistance Payment which will help to further reduce demand on our housing waiting list.
"Along with all local authorities, Clare County Council was asked to bring forward the housing unit targets and specific building projects it has planned for now to 2017. As part of the strategy, targets had to be agreed with each local authority in 2015.
"In total across the country, over €1.5 billion will be invested in a combination of building, buying and leasing schemes by local authorities designed to accommodate 25% of those currently on the housing waiting lists in social housing. Approximately 300 separate building proposals by local authorities are currently being assessed by the Department of Environment and will be announced in a number of phases starting this month. Construction is already underway for social housing in approximately 33 sites throughout the country.
"In Clare this funding will help to create and sustain approximately 209 of jobs in the construction sector which was so badly affected by the economic crash of recent years. This is a really important part of the Government's plan to spread job creation and economic recovery to all counties around Ireland so that everyone can feel the benefit."

Pryor's record run leads Raiders to victory
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders were looking for a fast start Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and quarterback Terrelle Pryor gave them one for the record books.
Pryor's record run leads Raiders to victory
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders were looking for a fast start Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and quarterback Terrelle Pryor gave them one for the record books.
On the game's first play from scrimmage, Pryor made NFL and franchise history with a 93-yard touchdown run, sparking the Oakland Raiders to a 21-18 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at the O.co Coliseum.
Pryor's touchdown run was the longest by a quarterback in NFL history, breaking former Steeler Kordell Stewart's mark of 80 yards set on Dec. 22, 1996, against Carolina. It was also the longest run from scrimmage, regardless of position, in Raiders history. His 93-yard run broke running back Bo Jackson's franchise record of 92 yards set on Nov. 5, 1989, against Cincinnati.
"I think that was the longest run I've ever had in my life," Pryor said, looking back to his high school and college career.
Pryor had 100 rushing yards after two carries and finished the game with 106 yards on nine carries. He completed 10 of 19 passes for 87 yards with two interceptions but was sacked only twice.
The Raiders, who built a 21-3 halftime lead and held on for a slim win, improved to 3-4 and snapped their steak of 10 straight losses in games after a bye week.
The Steelers had won two straight games after losing their first four, but they fell to 2-5 as their winning streak came to a painful end. They lost for the third straight time in Oakland.
"Obviously we made too many errors early to give ourselves a legitimate chance," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "We allowed them to control and dictate the flow of the game and how we started really in all three phases. The first 30 minutes of football was poor on our part, and I take responsibility for that. It starts with me. Obviously we can't choose to defer a kickoff and allow them to explode and spot them seven points on the first play of the game."
On the Raiders' first play, Pryor faked a handoff to running back Darren McFadden, who rammed up the middle, drawing almost the entire Steelers defense his way. Pryor bolted around right end, getting a huge block from wide receiver Rod Streater on safety Troy Polamalu, and raced untouched to the end zone.
Pryor said he was "reading" Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley on the play.
"The guy bit down that I was reading," Pryor said. "I came out, Rod made a phenomenal block, and it was off to the races."
Pryor said he couldn't believe how much open space he saw.
"I was very surprised, because it's never open like that," Pryor said. "Very surprised. But with the game plan, the way they put things together, it doesn't surprise me that sometimes it may happen like that."
McFadden rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns -- one from the wildcat formation -- on 24 carries.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 29 of 45 passes for 275 yards and one touchdown. He was intercepted twice and sacked five times, two of those by linebacker Sio Moore.
"They're good," Roethlisberger said of the Raiders. "Good defense. They got after us, and they were better than us."
In the first half, the Raiders outgained the Steelers 244 yards to 90 and outrushing them 182-8.
Pittsburgh cut Oakland's lead to 21-10 on Roethlisberger's 9-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders with 12:11 left to play, just two plays after Raiders wide receiver Jacoby Ford lost a fumble at the Oakland 11.
The Steelers threatened again after Antonio Brown returned a punt 44 yards to the Raiders 31 with 7:34 left. On third-and-3 from the 24, Brown caught a 4-yard pass, but Mike Jenkins forced a fumble, and Tracy Porter recovered for the Raiders at the 21.
The Steelers pulled to within 21-18 with 1:24 left. Le'Veon Bell scored on a 2-yard touchdown run, capping a 12-play, 83-yard drive. The Steelers went for two points, and Sanders converted, taking a pitch, heading left, then reversing course and reaching the end zone.
Oakland recovered an onside kick but nearly gave the ball back on first down. The ball popped loose at the end of McFadden's 1-yard run, but officials ruled he was down by contact, and the call stood after a video review.
"We made it our job to make sure we harassed the quarterback throughout the day and stop the run, and we were able to do that," Sio Moore said. "And the biggest thing is we were able to do that when it came down to the fourth quarter and were able to finish."
The Raiders needed just 19 seconds to take a 7-0 lead, thanks to Pryor's record-setting run on the read-option.
The Raiders increased their lead to 14-0 on McFadden's 7-yard touchdown run with 7:28 still left in the first quarter.
The Raiders had to drive only 26 yards for McFadden's score after Rashad Jennings partially blocked Zoltan Mesko's punt, which traveled only three yards. On third-and-10 from the 26, Pryor hit Denarius Moore in stride on a slant, good for 14 yards to the 12.

Brayden Vincent decided to join us a bit early (13 days to be exact) and was born on April 28th (my brother's birthday), 4:11 AM, weighing 7 lbs 11 oz, and 20.5 inches long.
Here's how it happened (without TMI):
Just to start off, Brayden's labor and delivery was TOTALLY different than Sophia's. Brayden's was much quicker and easier than Sophia's.
On Sunday, April 27th, my mom threw a surprise baby shower with a few of my close girlfriends and family- it was wonderful. We went home that night and Sophia was quite the "toddler." She didn't want to pick up her toys. Instead of arguing with her, I started to pick them up. Just as I picked up the plastic pizza slice, I felt a "POP." It was like my pants split. I was wearing leggings so I thought that couldn't have happened. I rushed into the bathroom.. my water was breaking... It wouldn't stop!! (maybe a little TMI there- sorry.)
Andrew was on the other side of the house and could not hear me yelling for him. Sophia came to my rescue but was scared because she heard me calling for Andrew. She gave me my cell phone and I tried calling the house phone in which Andrew did not pick up. Finally, I was able to leave the bathroom (towels in between my legs- TMI again..sorry) and yell to him that my water broke while he was painting the ceiling in Sophia's bathroom.
His reaction, "ohh.. oh boy."
What I didn't mention is that our house was a COMPLETE disaster! Brayden's nursery wasn't even a nursery. All his furniture and decor was out of his room and all our picture frames in our living room were off the walls because we hired someone to fix cracks in our ceiling that weekend. Great timing, I know.
Andrew stopped what he was doing and started putting "B's" furniture into his room (so I wouldn't have a nervous breakdown when we got home from hospital) and got the house somewhat in order.. I've never seen him move so quickly and I truly appreciate that he did that <3
I called my mom and asked her to help me get things together. I had my bag packed along with "B's" stuff- just had to get Andrew things together. By the time she came over, we already had Sophia in bed, thank goodness!
Then I called the doctor and she gave me two options: come to hospital now or wait it out a bit at home. I decided to head to the hospital earlier because I didn't feel as much movement that day so I wanted to make sure "B" was ok. Also, I didn't want to miss my opportunity to get an epidural.. My doctor told me that your second/third baby comes much more quickly, so I didn't want to miss my window of opportunity.
Ohh... I didn't have any contractions as of yet. I started having faint contractions while on our way to the hospital..About two hours after my water broke.
Andrew jumped in the shower (my mom wasn't too happy about this.. I just laughed..lol) and then we were on our way. We stopped at our local Stewarts to get drinks and snacks- always need to be prepared with snacks.
Then we arrived...
We spent about two hours in triage. I felt like Rachel in the episode of Friends where she's in labor and has all these hilarious encounters with people in triage. Andrew and I had a few LOL moments.
|Selfies in triage!
After finally being admitted, we went to the Labor and Delivery room where my doctor recommended to get an epidural sooner rather than later because the anesthesiologist was going to be busy for the next two hours. I got my epidural and slept for about an hour.
Then I had the "urge" to go to the bathroom- I did not have this experience with Sophia; I just had pain. With Brayden's delivery, I had the "urge" and pressure, no pain.. just discomfort.
I called my nurse and started freaking out a bit. I told her I felt like I had to go to the bathroom but I'm afraid the baby will come out!! (I'm shaking my head and laughing while writing this.) She suggested to try and push when I have the "urge" and see what happens.
So, I pushed. She stopped me to get the doctor and 1 and 1/2 pushes later, Brayden was born!
His delivery was CAKE compared to Sophia's. I said I'd do it all over again if every delivery was like his. By the time my water broke to when he was born, the whole process took nine hours.

Sophia adores Brayden! She had this memorizing look on her face when she first saw him- she still has it when she looks at him.. It melts my heart..
Brayden is just about 4 weeks old now and is doing great!

Can we just call a spade a spade here? 2012 may go down as the year mid-lifers took it on the chin, and I'm not talking Botox here. Between Sandy's knee-capping of those who live in the Northeast; dealing with extended unemployment saddled firmly on our generation's back; and having spent the better part of the election season worrying about whether Medicare would be around when we needed it, don't we all feel just a little wilted as we close out the year?
While I personally would rather sit out the holidays in a foxhole (preferably one in Hawaii) then face the shopping madness, this holiday season presents a unique opportunity for those who love me to show me they know what matters to me. Here's what I hope my gift-givers will bear in mind:

The marathon that is the Freedom Conference regular season is winding down.
With just two games left, it has officially become a sprint to the finish line.
Three of the four teams involved in the playoff race will be in action, not very far from one another.
Wilkes will travel to King's for the 100th meeting in the rivalry. In Dallas, Misericordia hosts DeSales in another game with serious playoff implications on the line.
Heading into tonight's games, the four playoff spots have been clinched. Wilkes, DeSales, Misericordia and Eastern have all qualified for the postseason tournament with the winner receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championships.
Wilkes enters the final week of the regular season in sole possession of first place. More importantly, the Colonels hold the tie-breaker over DeSales and Misericordia, having swept the season series from both.
The Colonels close the season Saturday at home against Eastern, a team they lost to earlier in the year.
"At this point you want to be playing good basketball," Wilkes coach Izzi Metz said. "At this time of the year fatigue sets in. Teams are looking at the standings, but our guys have a singular focus to keep playing better basketball. If we don't come ready to play we are not going to get the result we want."
Misericordia is the defending conference champs and entered the year as the preseason favorite to finish first in the conference.
While the importance of holding home court advantage throughout is important, Misericordia proved last year that a team doesn't need to be a higher seed to win the title.
Last year the Cougars were the No. 3 and went on the road to beat Eastern and DeSales to win the championship.
"Now it is get in and make some noise," Misericordia coach Willie Chandler said. "Wilkes will most likely be the No. 1 seed. We will come back here, we don't mind it. Our backs were against the wall last year with Eastern and we went down there and won by 20 (points). I have an experienced team. Some guys just need to grow up. They just have to show up and not let every little thing bother them. We will be all right."
In tonight's other game, Eastern will host Delaware Valley.
On Saturday, Eastern plays at Wilkes, Misericordia hosts Manhattanville and DeSales is at Delaware Valley.
Following tonight's game with Wilkes, King's will host FDU-Florham on Saturday in the regular season finale.

A resume is the representation of your professional self. It is a concise compilation of your educational and professional experience, as well as the skills that make you desirable for the workforce. It is what you use to sell your merit and skills to potential employers.
An effective resume lays out a summary of qualifications that will push the hiring manager or employer to move forward and invite you to interview for the position. As well as details on skills, education, and work history, resumes can also have optional sections, such as an objective, summary statement, skills, or career highlights. Those sections can be added after you've compiled all the factual information you need to list on your resume. For many people, it can be helpful to sit down with a pen and paper, or a blank Word document, and jot down their work history from start to finish. Of course, if you have been in the workforce for many years, this is not going to be time-efficient, so you may choose to focus on your most prominent and relevant positions.

You could run control (panel) from where ever you want, cmd or start menu.
What happens if you run it via control in a command prompt:-
The cmd.exe is searching for an executable file with name "control" and an extension that you will find in the %pathext% environment variable. The places where it is searching are
1. the current working directory
2. all pathes you will find in the %path% environment variable
The first found file will be executed. In your case it is usually "C:\Windows\System32\control.exe" which opens the "control panel".
I'm not quite sure about your 2nd question.
If you type control panel into the cmd prompt then it will also run "control.exe". The word "panel" is interpreted and transferred as a parameter for "control.exe" but it will be ignored. Hence nothing else happens than opening the control panel window just like without the word "panel".
why running control from command prompt cmd? but if you should type control panel in together it well not run it? Answered
i thanks and appreciate engineer sadiq abdulahi

|Caltha natans
|Floating marsh marigold
Key Characteristics
Small aquatic plant of shallow, slow-moving streams, beaver ponds, and stream mouths; with floating to creeping stems that root at the nodes, bearing 2-5 cm wide, heart-shaped leaves with coarsely scalloped margins, and producing small, 1 cm wide, white to occasionally pink-petaled flowers.
Status and Rank
- State Status: T
- State Rank: SNR
- Global Rank: G5
|County Name
|Number of Occurrences
|Year Last Observed
Updated 5/15/2018. Information is summarized from MNFI's database of rare species and community occurrences. Data may not reflect true distribution since much of the state has not been thoroughly surveyed.
Usually occurs in ponds and shallow, slow-flowing streams, especially those influenced by beaver activities, with colonies sometimes ranging into the shallow water zones of lakes near stream mouths. Plants root in muddy/mucky substrates and may be found stranded on exposed mud flats, whereas elsewhere this species has also been observed in artificial habitats such as drainage ditches.
Natural Community Types
- Submergent marsh
- Headwater stream (1st-2nd order), riffle
- Headwater stream (1st-2nd order), pool
- Headwater stream (1st-2nd order), run
For each species, lists of natural communities were derived from review of the nearly 6,500 element occurrences in the MNFI database, in addition to herbarium label data for some taxa. In most cases, at least one specimen record exists for each listed natural community. For certain taxa, especially poorly collected or extirpated species of prairie and savanna habitats, natural community lists were derived from inferences from collection sites and habitat preferences in immediately adjacent states (particularly Indiana and Illinois). Natural communities are not listed for those species documented only from altered or ruderal habitats in Michigan, especially for taxa that occur in a variety of habitats outside of the state.
Natural communities are not listed in order of frequency of occurrence, but are rather derived from the full set of natural communities, organized by Ecological Group. In many cases, the general habitat descriptions should provide greater clarity and direction to the surveyor. In future versions of the Rare Species Explorer, we hope to incorporate natural community fidelity ranks for each taxon.
Associated Plants
Water-starwort, pondweed
Little is known about the ecology of this recently discovered species in Michigan, but it is likely that the conservation of hydrological regime, including annual cycles of flooding and water table fluctuations, is necessary to perpetuate populations.
General Survey Guidelines
Random meander search covers areas that appear likely to have rare taxa, based on habitat and the judgment of the investigator.
Survey Methods
- Meander search
Survey Period: From first week of June to first week of September
Survey Comments: Survey would be optimal during flowering/fruiting period, but plants can be recognized in sterile/vegetative condition.

Joe Manganiello showed off his vocals on Saturday (21Nov15) by serenading his bride-to-be Sofia Vergara with Guns N' Roses classic Sweet Child O' Mine.
The couple is set to tie the knot at The Breakers resort in West Palm Beach on Sunday evening (22Nov15) and on the eve of its big day, Joe and Sofia enjoyed a pre-wedding celebration with a cocktail and dessert party following their rehearsal dinner at Cafe Boulud.
At one point during the bash, the Magic Mike hunk grabbed the microphone to sing to his future wife, belting out the rock anthem, much to the delight of their friends and family.
Video footage of the sweet moment, posted on Instagram by one partygoer, also shows Joe stealing a kiss from the actress during an instrumental break. Sofia, who wore a custom-made sparkly white gown for the event, also shared images online of their festivities, which included a performance by singer Jorge Celedon, who hails from her native Colombia.
Guests at the Saturday night gathering included Joe's married former True Blood co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, and Sofia's Modern Family pals Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen and Ed O'Neill.
Joe and Sofia will wed in front of 400 guests on Sunday evening.
They became engaged after a whirlwind romance in December (14) during a romantic vacation in Hawaii.

Record 60,000 Syrians wait for refuge at Jordan border as regime assault on Aleppo displaces thousands
The number of Syrians stranded at the border of Jordan waiting for refuge has reached a new high of 60,000 after fighting in Aleppo pushed thousands from their homes.
In the last three days alone, some 5,000 more people have arrived at makeshift camps in the remote desert, after making the roughly 300-mile journey to escape the violence.
Aid groups have pleaded with Jordan to allow them entry, noting that they are in dire conditions with little shelter and that the UN-run Azraq camp in northern Jordan stands largely empty and could accommodate tens of thousands more refugees.
Jordan says they pose a potential security risk, with some coming from areas controlled by the extremist Islamic State group, and need to be carefully vetted.
• Thousands of refugees fleeing Isil trapped in desert no-man's land at Jordan border
Ibrahim, 24, who had fled his hometown of Isil-controlled Deir Ezzor, told the Telegraph he has been living with his two young cousins in a tent on the border for nearly a month, checking every day with the guards whether their names were on the list for screening.
"It is clear we are not terrorists, we are with our families," said Ibrahim, who did not wish to give his surname. "We just want peace in Jordan away from Daesh and the bombing, but I am giving up hope," he added, using the derogatory Arabic name for the group.
Aid agencies told the Telegraph they are not allowed access to those waiting on the Syrian side, but they report that the desert conditions are very tough and the growing numbers are putting a serious strain on resources.
A ceasefire deal brokered by Russia and the United States has brought some relief to the battered second city of Aleppo after 11 days of fighting, but President Bashar al-Assad warned he still sought a total, crushing win over rebel forces.
Assad said the army would abide by the 48-hour truce which expires at midnight Friday, but said it was still set on "attaining final victory".
• As bombs fall, Aleppo asks: 'where are the Americans?'
The United Nations warned such an offensive could cause as many as 400,000 more to flee the city.
Reaching safety has become increasingly difficult for Syrians. Those who make it to the border with Turkey find it shut.
The once porous Bab al-Salam crossing has now been closed by its northern neighbour, which wants to create a safe zone inside Syria rather than let the estimated 100,000 waiting at the frontier in.
Jordan, which is already host to around one million refugees, too has all-but closed its four main border crossings.
Authorities have been letting in a few dozen people every day, after they have gone thorough screening.
According to General Saber Al-Mahayra, head of Jordan's border guards, around 2,000 Syrians currently camping near the border are suspected by Jordanian authorities of involvement with Isil. Weapons have already been seized from some would-be refugees along the border, he said.

Mandatory In Utero Gene Therapy to Cure Disease
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|5 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|1,697 times
|Debate No:
Mandatory: required by law or mandate; compulsory.[1]
In Utero Gene Therapy: Altering the DNA of a foetus while still developing in the uterus in order to give it a more desirable strand of DNA. (I worded this definition myself)
Disease: a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific symptoms or that affects a specific location and is not simply a direct result of physical injury.[2]
Why must it be mandatory for the parent to cure the disease that their child is born with if the disease itself is a part of their DNA? What you are saying is that if a person is meant to be a certain way, we should 'improve them' but what really is improving a person? What if by changing some parts of DNA we are in fact changing the person altogether and somehow preventing a genius' brain from forming properly, sure they would get parkinson's but would do so many useful things before their short life ends. What you fail to realise is that if you change one part of a person's DNA, you change the entire code and down the line it could easily prevent another part from developing properly. This is not medication, this is not simply plant genetic modification this is dealing with the animal that is claimed to have the most complex brain in the animal kingdom, we still haven't even scratched on the surface of how DNA affects the mind, what if the next Da Vinci was cured of parkinson's but then had another part of DNA altered to prevent them from being talented at art. What you are saying is you assume science is ANYWHERE NEAR the stage whereby we know that if we alter one part of the DNA, the rest stays fine, but in utero gene therapy is nothing to do with this.
Scientific and ethical discussions about gene therapy began many years ago, but it was not until 1990 that the first approved human gene therapy clinical trial was initiated. This clinical trial was conducted on a rare autoimmune disorder called severe combined immune deficiency. This therapy was considered successful because it greatly improved the health and well-being of the few individuals who were treated during the trial. However, the success of the therapy was tentative, because along with the gene therapy the patients also continued receiving their traditional drug therapy. This made it difficult to determine the true effectiveness of the gene therapy on its own, as distinct from the effects of the more traditional therapy.
Measuring the success of treatment is just one challenge of gene therapy. Research is fraught with practical and ethical challenges. As with clinical trials for drugs, the purpose of human gene therapy clinical trials is to determine if the therapy is safe, what dose is effective, how the therapy should be administered, and if the therapy works. Diseases are chosen for research based on the severity of the disorder (the more severe the disorder, the more likely it is that it will be a good candidate for experimentation), the feasibility of treatment, and predicted success of treatment based on animal models. This sounds reasonable. However, imagine you or your child has a serious condition for which no other treatment is available. How objective would your decision be about participating in the research?
How do researchers determine which disorders or traits warrant gene therapy? Unfortunately, the distinction between gene therapy for disease genes and gene therapy to enhance desired traits, such as height or eye color, is not clear-cut. No one would argue that diseases that cause suffering, disability, and, potentially, death are good candidates for gene therapy. However, there is a fine line between what is considered a "disease" (such as the dwarfism disorder achondroplasia) and what is considered a "trait" in an otherwise healthy individual (such as short stature). Even though gene therapy for the correction of potentially socially unacceptable traits, or the enhancement of desirable ones, may improve the quality of life for an individual, some ethicists fear gene therapy for trait enhancement could negatively impact what society considers "normal" and thus promote increased discrimination toward those with the "undesirable" traits. As the function of many genes continue to be discovered, it may become increasingly difficult to define which gene traits are considered to be diseases versus those that should be classified as physical, mental, or psychological traits.
To date, acceptable gene therapy clinical trials involve somatic cell therapies using genes that cause diseases. However, many ethicists worry that, as the feasibility of germ line gene therapy improves and more genes causing different traits are discovered, there could be a "slippery slope" effect in regard to which genes are used in future gene therapy experiments. Specifically, it is feared that the acceptance of germ line gene therapy could lead to the acceptance of gene therapy for genetic enhancement. Public debate about the issues revolving around germ line gene therapy and gene therapy for trait enhancement must continue as science advances to fully appreciate the appropriateness of these newer therapies and to lead to ethical guidelines for advances in gene therapy research.
In the UK, permission to conduct gene therapy research has to be obtained from a Department of Health advisory body known as the Gene Therapy Advisory Committee (GTAC) in conjunction with the appropriate Local Research Ethics Committee and the Medicines Control Agency (MCA). Researchers are required to notify any adverse effects from their trials to all three of these bodies. GTAC operates six key principles when licensing gene therapy trials:
1. Gene therapy is research and not an innovative treatment because it has not yet been sufficiently developed.
2. Only somatic cell therapy should be considered.
3. In view of safety and ethical difficulties, germ line interventions are not allowed.
4. Gene therapy should be restricted to life-threatening disorders where no alternative effective treatments are available.
5. Patients should take part in gene therapy research trials only after a full explanation of the procedures, risks and benefits and after they have given their informed consent.
6. For those not able to give consent, including young children, the research must not put them at disproportionate risk. GTAC also considers that in utero gene therapy is not permissible
Just consider this.

MasturDbtor forfeited this round.
Well then. Vote con.
1. "What you are saying is that if a person is meant to be a certain way, we should 'improve them' but what really is improving a person?"
My opponent is making the naturalistic fallacy, assuming that because something comes from nature it is "meant" to be that way. The same argument could be made against all medical intervention.
2. "What if by changing some parts of DNA we are in fact changing the person altogether and somehow preventing a genius' brain from forming properly, sure they would get parkinson's but would do so many useful things before their short life ends"
The individual's right to be free of disease and illness outweighs any right society has to their "many useful things".
3. "What you are saying is you assume science is ANYWHERE NEAR the stage whereby we know that if we alter one part of the DNA, the rest stays fine, but in utero gene therapy is nothing to do with this."
I have assumed nothing of the kind. Notice in Round 1 I specified (CAPS LOCK added for emphasis):
When we have the technology to go in utero gene therapy successfully and it is TESTED AND SAFE then it would be unethical, immoral, and should be illegal for a parent to forgo curing their child of a disease they are about to be born with.
I am not saying we do this now. I am saying we do this the moment it has been tested and is found safe through research trials like anything else within the practice of medicine.
4. "How do researchers determine which disorders or traits warrant gene therapy? Unfortunately, the distinction between gene therapy for disease genes and gene therapy to enhance desired traits, such as height or eye color, is not clear-cut."
No one is ever going to propose that one's eye color is a disease that needs to be cured. While there may be some "gray areas" that will need to be mulled over about whether or not it is a "disease" or merely a "condition" this is not a reason not to require parents to get gene therapy for those things that are real "disease".
"Gene therapy" will force a social conversation about creating consistently applicable guidelines for determining if a trait is merely a "variation" or a "disease". Dwarfism, at least variants that don't cause anything other than shorter stature might come under the "variation" category under such a scheme.
There is no reason to treat "gene therapy" any different than other medical treatments. Currently if a parent tries to deny their child treatment for a disease it is not allowed and the court orders the child be treated anyways. Some religions such as Jehovah's Witness have tried to get away with that for religious reasons but the courts didn't allow it.
However, take the example of parents that don't get cosmetic surgery for their Down's Syndrome child. These parents are not mandated to do that because it is not treating a disease, it is "treating" a "trait", one which is genetically related to a disease but which is not itself a disease (the disease being the physical and mental problems suffered by the patient which would not be alleviated by cosmetic surgery).
Why shoudl it be amandatory though?
I can understand fully advisable but why impede the righ tof a parent to allow their child to be who they should be not who society deems it acceptable to be. Einstein had autism and dyslexia, but he'd never have been the amazing man he was if he hadn't had them. you can't jsut say that because someone has a disease, they are better off without it, it's different when it's a part of who they are as opposed to pathogenic.
Con states "Einstein had autism and dyslexia, but he'd never have been the amazing man he was if he hadn't had them."
Wrong. By definition "autism" and "dyslexia" do not encompass what ever "benefits" might tend to go along with them.
Before using gene therapy it must be as I said "tested and safe" that process alone will show us how to preserve anything good and only get rid of the bad. Just because some genes tend to go together doesn't mean that they must, especially if we can alter them in the womb.
The issue I have is that my opponent has this idea that we can tell a person who they are meant to be and what their DNA should be coded as before they even had a chance to prove that in their short life (due to the disease) they would be so driven and focused to achieve what normal humans could not. It is like taking the madness out of Einstein, the fat out of Winston Churchill, the cockiness and shortness out of Napoleon Bonaparte (who shaped the entire Europe to make it as lovely as it is today) and the thing which makes any person feel disadvantaged out of them, for the sake of making a 'perfect' society where everyone is the same and anyone whose DNA doesn't match that of the norm's MUST BE 'CORRECTED'. This sounds like a Neo-Nazi regime to make a new race of humans where we have designer babies, everyone has the same IQ, same skills and same rate of growth... Well if everyone is built to be a physics genius who will pave our roads?! Who will make our music?! Who will make the movies?! You can't just say to change the DNA of someone because YOU seem to think it's WRONG for them to be their true form of genes.
Don't play god, there will always be a devil. (I made this saying up but if you think about it, it's actually true)
He then goes out of his way to exaggerate and say that what I want is for everyone to be "perfect" when all I said was that parents should have to use gene therapy to cure "disease". I said nothing about "designer babies" or about everyone having the same IQ, skills, and rate of growth, just curing "disease".
Although I do not recommend making things "perfect" his line of argumentation "Well if everyone is built to be a physics genius who will pave our roads?!" why is it not conceivable that everyone could simply be born "flexible", able to become a physics genius or a road-making genius or any kind of genius that person wants just as long as they are directed in that direction. Why must it be "Fixed at birth"? Wouldn't it be better for the environment to determine it because that gives the individual more autonomy and direction if they are given a nurturing environment?
I don't think that we have the same understanding of what mandatory in utero gene therapy entails. You are speaking of EXTREME genetic disorders only, whereby it would be natural for a parent to want their child to have a greater life quality and thus would cure them. What I am speaking of is the cases of perhaps their child having a 'mental' 'disease' or any disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific symptoms or that affects a specific location (as I defined disease in round 1). I was suggesting that perhaps we should not make it mandatory to alter any 'disorder' such as Asperger's Syndrome (Mozart showed severe signs of this) a milder form of Autism (which Albert Einstein showed severe signs of), ADHD (many stuntmen and sportsmen are diagnosed with this), dyslexia (which both Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill showed severe signs of) Down's Syndrome (successful actors have had down's syndrome). I'm just saying that not EVERY disorder or 'genetic defect', which match up to my definition of disease, should be made mandatory for a parent to supposedly 'cure' when in fact they are prohibiting the real person to be born.

TEL AVIV – Following the Netherlands House of Representatives' election of a Dutch-Moroccan Muslim woman as speaker, a columnist for the Palestinian Authority newspaper blamed Arab regimes' "swing towards violence and terrorism" on the lack of democratic electoral systems, and said that Israel was "superior" because it maintained regular elections.
The article in Al-Ayyam, translated by MEMRI , begins with the columnist, Hamada Fara'aneh, bemoaning the fact that neither a woman nor a member of a religious minority would ever be elected to senior positions in Arab governments.
"Can you imagine … a Christian as head of the Palestinian National Council and Legislative Council … or a Jew as head of the Moroccan parliament?" writes Fara'aneh.
Fara'aneh posits that the notion that "all citizens have equal rights regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, or school of thought" is a "paradigm that we are lacking in the Arab and Muslim world."
She writes that most Arab leaders obtain power using tanks rather than the ballot box, and in the rare cases in which they were elected democratically – such as the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza – they subsequently preserved their autocracy through military might.
By contrast, Fara'aneh contends, "Israel has something that strengthens it and helps it maintain superiority: It provides for continuity in government [while allowing] the leadership [itself] to change and new blood to be pumped into the veins of its institutions by accepting the results of the elections [that are held] regularly and sequentially.
"In all the Arab regimes, there is an absence of pluralism, of expansion of the basis for partnership, of continuity of rule, and of acceptance of election results," argues Fara'aneh.
She concludes that this "malady" is responsible for the Arab world's "regression, erosion … and its swing towards violence and terrorism."
An editorial in the London-based daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi said that the election of Dutch Labor MP Khadija Arib as speaker proves that Arabs and Muslims can assimilate into the West despite their marginalization.
"Arabs and Muslims awaken each morning to disasters, occupying armies, tyranny, wars, conflicts, and massacres and starvation from all sides – making them feel like they are being constantly plotted against and that Allah is testing them," states the editorial.
It continues by claiming that many Muslims in war torn countries dream of emigrating to the "Western paradise" but are trapped by "the racism that greets them wherever they end up."
However, the editorial ends by saying that the election of Khadija Arib proves that Arabs and Muslims can "find their place in the sun" despite their systematic marginalization in Western democracies.
"Khadija Arib is proof that Western culture and its humanistic values can incorporate the other – and she is one of the best responses by us Arabs and Muslims to the Western racism and the tyranny against Arabs in all its forms."

Toll plaza hassles aren't exactly new and most of us have suffered from being stuck in long queues for countless hours. Now the next time you are waiting at a toll booth and your waiting time exceeds three minutes, you could drive right through without paying. Yes it certainly is true and in fact approved by the law.
As per the reply received to an RTI filing by advocate Hariom Jindal from the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), commuters can pass the toll plaza free of cost, should they spend over 2 minutes and 50 seconds waiting in the queue.
According to advocate Hariom Jindal, "I filed the RTI as I experienced long delays in paying toll while travelling on NH1 between Ludhiana and Delhi and also between Chandigarh and Ambala at different places and on various occasions,"Jindal told TOI over the phone. "I used to get frustrated and I used to argue with the staff, but they never gave me a proper reply to redress my grievance of endless waits. If a person is made to wait before the toll plaza for an hour or 30 minutes, the very purpose of having such tolled roads is defeated. I thought I should do something about it and filed an RTI."
"Based on that provision, I used to record a video during such waits, show the video and the RTI reply to toll booth personnel and they allowed me to pass without paying toll." Jindal received the reply in August last year but put it out on social media recently to inform others .
The reply to the RTI from NHAI reads, "There is total waiting time of 3 minutes. If the 3 minutes exceeds in waiting, than there is a provision to pass the vehicle free of cost." The reply further says that "2 minutes and 50 seconds are required for a vehicle to wait for its turn in the queue.
YV Prasad, chief general manager of NHAI-Karnataka said it was up to the ministry to reply. Y Rajeev Reddy, former chief gener al manager of NHAI-Karnataka said: "As per NHAI rules, we should not collect toll from a vehicle which has been waiting in queue at a toll plaza for more than three minutes. But in cities like Bengaluru, we do not get enough land to have more toll booths at any toll plaza, so the queues are more than three minutes. But we are unable to follow the rule. The concessionaire charges toll from all vehicles which have waited for more than three minutes because if it does not, it will be a loss to the government."
The National Highways Authority of India has issued a clarification stating that no such rule allowing exemption from paying toll charges because of time taken exists. "There is no specific exemption applicable relating to either time taken or distance of queuing of vehicles at Plaza, as part of transaction. As such, it is clarified that there is no provision of exemption to User Fee in case time taken for crossing the plaza is more than 3 minutes".

What's up everybody! I know I made the announcement last week where I would challenge myself to drop a #ThoughtOfTheWeek each week (click here to view last week's thought). With so much being on my mind whether it's through snapchat or a tweet, why not just let it all out le blog? At least its not gonna cut me off at 10 seconds or 140 characters. This past week has been an interesting one for I experienced a few setbacks in terms of my personal life and my occupation. You'd think I'd be raging like Kid Cudi (#PrayForCudi). But I took a step back and began to observe the situation(s) at hand. Not all blessings come with good results for some can take an unexpected turn. For those of you who follow me on snapchat (caamillexo), I explained that with every loss, comes a win but it is all dependent on how you handle the loss. If you handle it with anger while blaming others for your downfall, the chances of a win coming your way will be slim to none. However, if you take the L as a learning experience, it will give you fuel to keep embarking on your journey wherever it may take you. But don't think that a win will come knocking your door in five seconds. Trust me if it did, life would be too freakin easy. Take this opportunity to collect yourself and figure out what is next. Whatever goals or dreams you may have, remember there is a process to attainting those dreams and whatever they are, it requires work that Riri song. There will be times where you may want to give up but life is a game and we as players must decide how we are going to play. We can either sit on the bench and watch the game from the side or we can tie up our laces and make the right plays like Jordan in the 1996 NBA Finals. Continue on building your ladder, it's not the destination that's important, it's the journey!

Kris Jenner, Kylie & The Kardashians: 7 Times They Were Accused Of Photoshopping
The Kardashian-Jenner clan is known for being a group of absolutely stunning creatures — but that doesn't mean they don't have flaws. Here are all the times they were accused of covering them up!
The Kardashian-Jenners are probably the most famous family ever — like, ever. With that level of fame you know all eyes are always gonna be on you and those eyes are gonna be trying to pick apart every picture they see for any little flaws. Because of that fact the Kardashians have been accused numerous times of not just photoshopping their hot pics, but totally failing in their attempts to hide their flaws. In the gallery above you will see seven of the most memorable times the girls were accused of airbrushing themselves.
As you look at the pics decide for yourselves if they are altered or not. Are their body parts not in proportion? Do the angles look funny? Is the background consistent? Do those butts, boobs and biceps look just a little too perfect? You be the judge! Of course even if the ladies have photoshopped themselves on occasion, reality doesn't lie. And pics and footage from other sources show the true beauty of the Kris, 61, Kourtney, 38, Kim, 36, Khloe, 32, Kendall, 21, and Kylie, 19.
One of the most recent pics of the Kardashians that has been accused of being a photoshop fail is the one the mother-of-six shared on Instagram on June 23 as a promotion for Flat Tummy Tea. Kris is wearing a revealing sports bra and workout leggings and people just weren't buying how hot her bod was. "People always ask me how I stay in shape and looking so good," she captioned the post, adding, "I detox regularly, especially pre-summer." Click here to see Kris' sexiest pics.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of the Kardashian-Jenner clans accused photoshop fails? Which one is the worst? Let us know below!

BRIDGEPORT — A man suspected in 16-year-old murder-kidnapping case in California was captured Thursday morning after a making a stolen vehicle report that revealed his whereabouts to authorities.
Officers from the Bridgeport, Hartford, and Los Angeles police departments along with members of the U.S. Marshals Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force captured Samuel Calvario, 46, who was wanted for a murder that happened in Los Angeles in 2000.
Calvario had been living under the name of Felix Gonzales-Morales in a rooming house at 113 Poplar St.in Bridgeport, according to officials. He is suspected in the murder of Daniel Felix on November 9, 2000.
Authorities in the Los Angeles Police Department were tipped off that Calvario was living in Connecticut. Members of the Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force were able to track down his location after he filed a stolen vehicle report with Bridgeport Police Department.
Calvario was taken into custody without incident. Authorities executed a search warrant for the residence and DNA samples at 5:45 a.m. Thursday at the house on Poplar Street. Officials said they found documentation containing Calvario's original identity.
He was charged with being a fugitive from justice and held on a $1,000,000 bond and will face an extradition hearing to California, where he faces charges of murder, kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon in connection to the killing of Felix.

What are your plans this Labor Day? Me, I'm planning to sleep. A lot. Maybe taking a nap or two.
Part of me wants to make more salsa, since tomatoes are still in season, and I need to stock up for the winter (the Boyfriend Unit goes through about a pint a week, if not more). But, eh, I would rather wrap Demon Kitty up in a blanket and make him snuggle me.
Chili is one of my favorite lazy night dinners, and taco chili is at the top of the list.
