Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
Many of us have stopped to pick bunches of wildflowers or have admired them as they flourished in fields, hiking trails, and roads. Always appreciated but not always recognized, now these beauties can easily be identified with Wildflowers in the Field and Forest, the most inclusive field guide available to the wildflowers of the northeastern United States.
Designed for easy use, the book features two-page spreads with descriptive text and range maps on one side facing pages of color photos on the other. The descriptions are concise, but thorough, and the range maps show both where the plant grows and what time of year it is likely to be in bloom. Plants are grouped by flower color, usually the feature first noticed by the observer. The species are subsequently grouped by petal arrangement, type of leaves, and number of flower parts as indicated in the "quick characters" box at the top of each page. There is also a simple key in the beginning of the book that allows one to quickly narrow the search to a few pages. In addition to the more common and conspicuous wildflowers, many of the lesser known, and often overlooked, species are also depicted. Full-color photos generally show the flowers of the plant, and while insets of leaves (and occasionally fruits) are often included to help in identification. A bar on each photo allows users to accurately judge the actual size of each flower.
Both serious botanists and casual nature observers will welcome this beautifully illustrated and expertly detailed guide.
The most comprehensive field guide for the northeastern United States, including New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, with additional coverage of adjacent areas in eastern Canada
Over 1,400 species are described; nearly all are illustrated by beautiful color photographs
Photographs accurately depict the flowers; insets show details of leaves and other features
Photos, descriptions, and maps on facing pages make the book simple to use
Color-coded maps indicate both the range of the species and the time when it is in bloom

To borrow heavily from Dickens:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, we acted with trip wisdom, we were the victims of trip foolishness, we saw ostentation beyond belief, and visitors' behaviour beyond incredulity, it was a morning of heat and light, an afternoon of chill and darkness, the magnificent gardens proffered hope, the lengthy queues' despair, we had everything to discover before us, we left nothing unturned behind us, we were pedalling wearily home direct to bed, we were in Parisian traffic confusedly going direct the other way – in short, our day at the Palace of Versailles cannot be compared, for good or bad, to any other, it was a unique and vivid occasion.
Trip wisdom meant an early start and arriving on our bikes as the gates opened at 9.30am we were rewarded with two hours of near solitude in the majestic gardens of Versailles.
Being a Tuesday the musical box hedging piped out a classical renaissance and baroque accompaniment to our meanderings amongst the multitude of gardens and groves within sight of the enormous palace.
The 34 different gardens linked by avenues of chess piece-like topiary and chestnut trees offered gold gilded fountains, classical allegories, colonnaded theatres, gothic statuary, operatic scenes of the Titans' war, mirrored pools, bathing nymphs, dragons, water gods and finally, Apollo whipping his sun-towing bronze horses into a frenzy.
It was an epic experience amongst the neatly mowed lawns and meticulously clipped privet hedging.
Being a Tuesday also meant that the rest of Paris' main attractions were closed. This is where trip foolishness saw us spend the next five hours going out of our way to avoid the jostling hordes of differing nationalities of tourists' hell bent on seemingly standing in the way and taking the inevitable selfie.
It was hard to remain patient at times, but entirely our own fault having fixated more upon the rising costs of our campsite (going up every night) rather than the opening days of the City of Light's main attractions. So be it, the bright morning light gave Simon the perfect opportunity to test out his new camera lenses as we headed to Marie Antoinette's estate almost an hour's walk from the palace.
Here she indulged her ideas of pastoral romance and kept a flour mill, bee hives, dairy and working farm together with a bizarre Marlborough Tower, classical ruined 'rock', stone belvedere and Greek temple to love.
Following the banks of the pretty green stream 'Anglais' through flower meadows and over small bluffs it was easy to feel a childish release from the constrained formality of the palace gardens. Yet the 'estate' buildings had a Disney-ish feel to them and no doubt contributed to her celebrity as a spoilt and self-indulgent queen. A gigantic London Plane tree planted in 1798 caused us to wonder at its age, and then reflect on its genus some seven years after the viciously cruel end to Marie Antionette's life.
As the weather turned chilly and the skies darkened we headed back to the palace grounds and into a dispiritingly lengthy queue, five deep, to enter the main Honour Gate.
Finally, into the palace amidst stampeding packs of tour groups it was impossible not to draw breath at the ostentation of the gold-gilded, crystal chandelier-lit, sumptuously curtained and highly polished rooms of the Sun King. Louis XIV was obsessed with the solar calendar and his state rooms were each themed according to the zodiac.
It was a heady experience magnified by the jostling movement of, frankly, a stampeding and international mob.
We tailgated a red baseball cap-wearing group of sari-clad Indians who seemingly acted as a Roman battering ram through the disjointed tour groups and found ourselves with limited space to breathe in the legendary Hall of Mirrors. Simon carefully photographed whilst I hung out of the floor to ceiling windows gasping for air.
Marie Antoinette's first floor state apartments were closed for refurbishment, which was a disappointment as I had wanted to see her 'green room' legendary to those of us interested in the leadership of the French Revolution.
I asked confused room wardens about 'le chambre vert de le Comité de la Sécurité publique' but none knew what I referred to, unsurprising really as the palace today chooses to ignore the insalubrious days of Thermidor and instead trades on its Ancien Régime heritage and Marie Antoinette's tragedy. Instead we visited the ground floor rooms of the Mesdames' Apartments.
A gold-gilded and green room inter-linked by locking doors and lined with book shelves, decorated as per its last refurbishment in 1783 and sporting a large fireplace (where angry St Just threw his hat?) intimate but large enough to contain an oval table and twelve green chairs (on show in the room just next door and originally from Marie Antoinette's 'salon'), could it possibly have been the Green Room? Couthon after all was wheel-chair bound, hardly able to assail the steep stone double stair case up to the former queen's state rooms.
Was this the Green Room of Robespierre's triumph, terror and demise? Perhaps. Oddly quiet and with few visitors, I lingered there and thought of the twelve men who ruled an astonishing year of tumultuous French, and ultimately modern history, who may just have sat within touching distance of me.
On a high we cycled the wrong way back to the campsite finding a supermarket and loading up with supplies, which we immediately regretted on the uphill cycle return to Bertha.
Tired legs however could not quiet busy minds, Versailles had been a spectacular, fulsome and deeply enjoyable day.

Municipal Pier crumbling, but no money to rebuild SF treasure
San Francisco's Municipal Pier, one of the scenic treasures of the city, is crumbling away. Everybody knows it. The pier that curves out into the bay from at the end of Van Ness Avenue and protects Aquatic Park has been falling apart for years.
And everybody knows the solution, too: Replace the old pier with a new one. There's only one problem: money. There isn't any.
"That's what has everybody stumped," said Kevin Hendricks, superintendent of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, which owns the pier.
The pier is a federal responsibility, and Hendricks is the responsible officer.
A 'budget buster'
The price tag to replace the pier was $68 million seven years ago, the last time the Park Service got an estimate on the project. Sixty-eight million may not sound like so much these high-rolling days, but it is more money than the entire National Park Service construction budget for the whole country in normal years. As a sort of one-year-only birthday present for the Park Service's centennial, Congress nearly doubled the service's 2016 construction budget, to $116.3 million.
But still, Hendricks calls fixing the Municipal Pier a "budget buster." Moving the project forward, he said, "remains elusive."
Hendricks offered an inspection tour of the Municipal Pier the other windy afternoon. It came with a small history lesson about how the pier was built as the first element of a new city park — an Aquatic Park — on the northern edge of San Francisco.
The city paid $250,000 — more than twice the original estimate — to construct the pier between 1929 and 1933. It curves out from the foot of Van Ness Avenue like a long crescent more than 1,400 feet long. It has two purposes: to serve as a breakwater to protect little Black Point Cove and its sandy beach, and to be a public pier where people can stroll, fish or just enjoy life.
The San Francisco Municipal Recreation Pier was the first element of what became Aquatic Park. Later a bathhouse — "A Palace for the Public," it was called — was built as a Depression-era federal project. Still later, the bathhouse was turned into a maritime museum. A fleet of historic ships was berthed on the edge of the cove, and the whole thing became a maritime national park. Hendricks says 4million people — more than visit Yosemite — stroll through the park every year.
'Nothing like it'
The Muni Pier, built of concrete and supported by 634 pilings, shelters it all. The pier also offers one of the best views in a city famous for its good looks. From the end of the pier, strollers can see the bay and its islands, the Golden Gate Bridge on the horizon and the city rising on its hills in the background. "There's nothing like it," Hendricks said.
"An incredible view," said Sam Richardson, who was visiting from London and saw it for the first time last week.
"It's really pretty," said Mandy Cannon, a tourist from Utah, "but the pier is a mess."
That's true. The concrete is peeling away, exposing the rusting steel underneath. The whole west side of the pier is fenced off because it's unsafe. The pier was built to hold a load of 200 pounds per square inch, but now three-quarters of that strength has been lost, which means it can't hold big crowds. So it's closed on Fleet Week and the Fourth of July.
"It's not quite a ruin yet," Hendricks said. But it's close.
"Every day it gets worse," said Carol Walker, a volunteer for City Guides who leads tours of the pier. "They can't let it slip away, they just can't. It needs to be fixed."
Walker has started a petition on Change.org, asking for emergency funds to replace the pier. She hopes to put pressure for action on House Minority LeaderNancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, and other officeholders.
"I'm very persistent," she said. "I won't go away."
For his part, Hendricks wants to engage what he calls "park partners" — the city of San Francisco, the state, private donors. He's been working on the problem, but has nothing concrete yet. He calls it "an intriguing challenge."
Pier could be closed
However, if nothing happens and the pier continues to deteriorate, Hendricks said, the Park Service may have to close it to the public.
That would be bad news for the people who use it.
Oliver Hamilton, who grew up in San Francisco, went away to college and was back in town last week. He spent a lot of time on the pier when he was younger, "you know, fishing for crabs and just hanging with friends," he said.
"There's a pretty beautiful view," he said. "It's a very San Francisco place to go."

text: Dalai Lama was welcomed this morning by hundreds of residents of Mandi City, a city that was blessed by Guru Padmasambhawa, the India Buddhist scholar who came to Tibet to teach in particular Tantric Buddhism. The Tibetan leader talked about the importance of Mahatama Gandhi's non-violent philosophy and that India should preserve and promote this important philosophy. The Dalai Lama said that this philosophy has been the best vehicle to achieve political objectives, citing Dr. Martin Luther King's civil rights movements in the United States and Nelsom Mandlea's campaign for equal rights for the blacks in South Africa.

Very well-executed kick on the last by DCE, trapping Jahrome Hughes in his own in-goal area.

Daly Cherry-Evans turns it back inside for Shaun Lane who takes it up to the 20. Martin Taupau now steamrolls over defenders and brings it towards halfway.

Cherry-Evans goes short to Lane who plunges over for an early double!

Brad Parker and Moses Suli help out their big men with solid runs to begin the set before Martin Taupau barges over halfway, threatening to offload but reeling it in. Daly Cherry-Evans goes inside to Trbojevic on the last, who throws it straight towards Curtis Scott. Intercept... NO! He drops it. Full set 40 out for Manly.
A fantastic set after points from Manly with Tom Wright trapping Young Tonumaipea five out from his own line.
DCE sends it through.
Martin Taupau offloads again for Manase Fainu who dummies and goes through the line before finding Shaun Lane in support who crashes over!
Martin Taupau surges upfield and offloads for Addin Fonua-blake who powers his way into the Melbourne half. Brian Kelly is trapped 30 out but offloads for Daly Cherry-Evans who spreads it to Taupau who is tackled 25 out. Fonua-Blake of all people kicks on the last and forces a dropout!

Melbourne forced to work it out of their own end. A strong run by Cheyse Blair brings them up into the Manly half. Brodie Croft's bomb on the last is left to bounce and Tom Trbojevic just bats it dead! Very close call there!
We are underway! Martin Taupau takes it up off the kick-off and is tackled just shy of the 20. Addin Fonua-blake and Joel Thompson contribute solid runs before Addin Fonua-blake darts out of dummy-half and picks up 10 metres in the process. The kick on the last by Daly Cherry-Evans finds touch 10 out.
Manly have lost Dylan Walker to injury ahead of this contest, Tom Wright replacing him at five-eighth. Melbourne have a host of changes, with Origin stars Slater, Chambers, Addo-Carr, Munster and Kaufusi all out. Hughes moves to halfback, Blair comes in at centre, Tonumaipea on the wing, Jacks and Croft are the new halves pairing with Stimson joining the second-row. Jesse Bromwich is benched in favour of Welch up front, while Tui Kamikamica joins the interchange.
Good evening and welcome to League Unlimited's live blog of the Battle of Brookie tonight. It shapes as an absolute ripper! There are a host of changes for both sides.

Forty eight days after he took over as the Chief Minister of Delhi, activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal put in his resignation to thunderous applause from his party supporters.He had come good on his threat to resign if he was thwarted from passing the Delhi Jan Lokpal Bill, which aims to create an ombudsman body that inquired into charges of corruption against government officials and politicians. Arvind Kejriwal has once again shaken up the political system in India by quitting over delays in passing the Jan Lokpal Bill.
By cannily positioning the AAP as the only clean alternative to a corruption-wearied electorate, Kejriwal had ushered in seismic shifts in Indian politics.The anti-corruption bill, is the key plank in the manifesto of his fledgling party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) during the state elections in December 2013. Though short-lived, his tenure was styled with his anarchist method of governance that evoked criticism that he hadn't made the transition from an agitator to an administrator. Kejriwal dismissed his critics saying that going after the corrupt was governance.
Kejriwal quit hours after his party was blocked from passing the Lokpal bill in the Delhi Assembly by 42 Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in the 70-member strong assembly. The main opposition came from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC) with their MLAs calling the bill "unconstitutional". They argued that bills without federal sanction could not be introduced in the Delhi Assembly.
The introduction of the tough anti-graft bill provoked chaos in the assembly leading to its adjournment in the afternoon. Earlier that morning, the assembly was disrupted several times with members demanding that the Speaker, M.S. Dhir, read out a written message from Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung. Though the bill had been vetoed by Jung, Kejriwal refused to back down. Saying he too has read the Indian Constitution, the Delhi Chief Minister said the Constitution did not specify anywhere that the Delhi Assembly needed the Centre's permission to table bills. In the recent past, Kejriwal had written a letter to Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde asking him to revoke a 2002 order that made federal consent mandatory for all bills tabled in the Delhi Assembly.
After the Speaker had read out the message and Kejriwal had introduced the bill, the discussion session turned chaotic and the assembly had to be adjourned once again. Only AAP's 27 members and its rebel MLA, Vinod Kumar Binny voted for the bill, when the Speaker sought to find out from the reconvened assembly if the bill could be introduced. Hours later at his party office, Kejriwal had announced his decision to quit over the opposition to the Jan Lokpal Bill and recommended to President Pranab Mukherjee (through the Lt. Governor) that fresh elections be immediately held in Delhi.
With his trademark muffler draped around his head, Kejriwal told the cheering group of supporters that the Congress and the BJP were blocking the bill because they knew many of their leaders would be behind bars if it was passed.The cheering crowd of supporters, had flocked to the party office after being tipped off by mass SMSes about the imminent resignation. He also hinted that the recent First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against Reliance Industries chief Mukesh Ambani and Union Minister Veerappa Moily had probably confirmed the opposition's fears.
Addressing the crowd, Kejriwal alleged that for 10 years Mukesh Ambani had backed the ruling United Progressive Alliance (lead by the Congress) and that for the past one year he had begun backing Narendra Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate. Kejriwal wanted to know where Modi was getting his vast funds from and suggested the existence of a political nexus between the Congress, the BJP and Ambani. The mainstream parties were, according to him, worried that the Jan Lokpal Bill would spell doom for other senior leaders like Kamal Nath and Sharad Pawar. Incidentally, in a press conference held a few weeks back Kejriwal had read out a list of India's most corrupt politicians.
While his supporters may have placed him on the pedestal and celebrate him as a fearless champion, Kejriwal has no dearth of opposition and criticism. Reactions to his resignation circle around a theory that he has been wanting to quit for a while now. They feel the resignation would help Kejriwal project himself as a martyr, who is now incidentally free to step up his campaigning for the upcoming general elections.
In fact, the Times of India and Ipsos, a research agency, recently revealed the results of an opinion poll they conducted across eight of India's major cities and the results were very favorable for Arvind Kejriwal. While Narendra Modi continues to top polls with a whopping 58 percentage of the votes, Kejriwal has moved up the scale at a surprising rate to second place with 25 percentage of votes. Forty four percent of the respondents have pledged their support to the AAP.
The Delhi Assembly's lack of enthusiasm for passing the Jan Lokpal Bill may have forced Arvind Kejriwal to quit office, but this may only fracture the votes for the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections. Especially since the Congress is facing an almost insurmountable wave of anti-incumbency.

From fellow artists to Russian dancers, Pablo Picasso never knew a shortage of women to cavort with. They were his friends, lovers, and often inspirations. And that is the tack the Marlborough Gallery has taken in its examination of the women in more than 200 of Picasso's prints, which runs through May 1. And through his women, a compelling narrative of his life and technical development as an artist emerges. It is an approach that takes the New York gallery off the beaten path while so many others have taken on major shows, like the Museum of Modern Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The stakes for MENA in the Paris conference
The UN climate summit in Paris is of vital importance to all humanity, which is why 195 nations are attending the ten-day gathering.
For the Middle East and North Africa the issues are of even more crucial importance. Due to accumulated factors, the MENA region confronts many vulnerabilities that require a concerted regional and international effort.
With continuing population growth and increasing socio-economic pressures, the region's many ecological weaknesses will worsen if left unaddressed or unmitigated.
Scarcity of water is one of the foremost problems in the MENA region, as rainfall could decline 15-20% by 2040. According to the United Nations' panel on climate change projections, an additional 80 million-100 million people could be exposed to "water stress" within two decades.
The World Resource Institute lists 14 MENA countries, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations as well as Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Israel and Iran, among the world's most endangered in terms of water scarcity. Water scarcity already has been pushing MENA nations to tap into aquifer resources beyond replenishment rates and at the expense of the needs of future generations.
Increasing temperatures caused by climate change pose another serious problem for the region. The Paris conference negotiators are pushing for the world to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial times.
Rising temperatures could reach unbearable levels in North Africa and the Middle East, adversely affecting all vital outdoor activities, including farming and tourism. Higher temperatures can expose millions in the Maghreb to flooding.
Coastal areas in the region could be threatened by long-term rising sea levels in such diverse places as Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Qatar. According to the World Bank, 43 port cities in MENA, including 24 in the Middle East and 19 in North Africa, are at risk.
A related phenomenon is the gradual encroachment of the desert. The Maghreb states have yet to find successful ways of dealing with the advancing dunes of the Sahara.
"Desertification is a silent, invisible crisis that is destabilising communities at a global scale," warns the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.
The decline of agriculture and other economic activities as a result of climate change will most adversely affect the poor. This could lead to further social unrest and the emergence of power vacuums likely to be exploited by terror organisations.
A number of scientific studies have pointed to the role of the climate change-induced drought between 2006 and 2010 as one of the triggers of instability and civil war in Syria, where large swaths of land turned into a desert.
There are some positive trends in MENA however, such as abundant resources for renewable energy. Laudable efforts are being deployed by countries such as the UAE and Morocco. Alternative energy resources can help curtail carbon emissions and improve living conditions.
Good governance should include sound water and energy planning as well as reforms to ensure more efficient uses of energy and water resources. The involvement of civil society could build trust in government decisions, especially as recent protests in Arab countries have widened the divide between the population and governments. This divide must be overcome to ensure the well-being of current and future generations.

The events of Super Tuesday didn't solidify much in the way of the presidential race on the Democratic side, but one person has taken a few guesses as to which exchange traded funds (ETFs) will win if Sen. John McCain takes the presidency.
Based on McCain's record and statements over the last few months, Kevin Baker for The Street predicts that certain sectors, in particular defense and biotechnology, could perform especially well under his leadership.
McCain has said that he's willing to keep troops in Iraq for 100 years if that's what it meant to achieve victory. He wants the United States to "bolster its regional military posture." PowerShares' Aerospace & Defense (PPA) could benefit if McCain stepped up military spending. Among its top holdings are Lockheed Martin (LMT, 6.3%) and Boeing (BA, 6.6%).
McCain also supports embryonic stem-cell research, which could lead to federal funding for it to be restored. If that happens, the SPDR S&P Biotechnology (XBI) could benefit from renewed focus on the "care and cure of chronic disease." Among the fund's top holdings are Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN, 3.6%) and Genentech, Inc. (DNA, 3.5%).
In the interest of balance, Baker will talk later about which ETFs stand to gain in a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama presidency.

CADJPY has been steadily climbing on its 1-hour forex chart, reflecting a short-term uptrend for the pair. Price has been treading above the long-term exponential moving average on the same time frame while the short-term EMA is also moving higher, confirming that the rally is likely to carry on.
For now, stochastic is pointing down, which means that price could retreat from its recent climb. The pair could test the long-term EMA support, which coincides with a rising trend line connecting the recent lows.
A bounce could take place around the 98.50 minor psychological level, which lines up with the trend line, long-term EMA and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level on the latest swing low and high. Once stochastic reaches the oversold area and turns higher, price could head back north as well.
The path of least resistance is to the upside, as the Canadian economy has seen significant improvements in the past months. This has been enough for the BOC to say that they are no longer looking to cut interest rates anytime soon, as their surprise rate cut earlier this year is already taking effect.
Meanwhile, Japan continues to post weak data, particularly in the consumer spending sector. Retail sales have shown a sharper than expected annualized decline for March, as the economy still hasn't recovered from last year's sales tax hike. Although BOJ Governor Kuroda said that they are discussing the technical details for an exit strategy, it seems that market watchers are not buying his upbeat outlook.
Should risk aversion continue to play a role in price action though, CADJPY could still make a break below the confluence of support levels. If so, the pair could be in for a longer-term drop, possibly until the area of interest at 97.00. But if a bounce takes place, CADJPY could head back to its previous highs near 99.50 and perhaps make new ones.

Water for People and the Environment
We are all connected by water. All living things need water. The earth has a remarkable system of transporting and recycling water for our use. Because we live on a planet, with a finite supply of water, we must take care of our natural resources, especially the water we use where we live. It doesn't matter if we are a community of humans or a community of aquatic plants and animals, we all live downstream of someone or some organism that needs and uses the water. We should treat the water that we use the same way we hope the water we use was treated by others.
Fishing for Conservation
One of the most fun ways to use your knowledge about aquatic science is to go fishing. It's a great way to spend time with friends and family outdoors. With over 191,000 miles of rivers, 212 major lakes, 367 miles of coastline, and 3,300 miles of bays and estuaries, Texas has many places to go fishing. Hike or take a canoe or boat to a fishing spot. Try camping near a lake. Cook what you catch and have a picnic. Fishing is a great way to learn about nature. When you go fishing for fun, you are called an angler. To be a good angler, you need patience, fishing skills, and knowledge about aquatic ecosystems.
Oceans: The Gulf of Mexico
The Gulf of Mexico is the ninth largest ocean basin in the world, covering almost 600,000 square miles. This is twice the size of Texas. At its deepest point the bottom is 2.7 miles underwater, but most of the Gulf is much shallower. About 60% of the Gulf is less than 700 feet deep. The Gulf is one of the most productive waters in the world for aquatic organisms. It provides habitat for many of our most important seafoods. The Gulf is productive in other ways, too. The Gulf holds one of the world's largest reserves of oil and gas, leading to an extensive petroleum industry. The Gulf's combination of ecosystem productivity, industrial importance, and accessibility has made it one of the most important waters to people on Earth as well as one of the most threatened by human actions and neglect.
Bays and Estuaries
Lakes and Ponds
Streams and Rivers
Aquifers and Springs
Aquifers and springs have attracted humans to settle nearby where water is abundant, but careful use of water is necessary to balance the recharge of aquifers with the use by people. Aquifers and springs also provide aquatic habitats where unique species may live on the brink of extinction.
Texas Aquatic Ecosystems
From Sun to Sunfish
Aquatic habitats are communities in which complex interactions take place among populations and individual organisms as they compete for limited resources in an interdependent web of relationships. Within a community every species has a particular niche. A species' niche defines how a species fits into its environment. It includes its way of getting food, the habitat it needs, and the role it performs in the community.
Living in Water
A species is a group of individuals sharing some common characteristics or qualities, and whose offspring also share those characteristics or qualities. All species are specially suited for the lives they lead. An adaptation is a behavioral, structural, or physiological trait that increases a species' chance of survival in a specific environment. Every living thing has adapted to fit with where it lives. That's what it takes for life to survive. Aquatic organisms live in water and have adaptations to do so. This chapter talks about life in water and aquatic ecosystems by fish, aquatic invertebrates, zooplankton, phytoplankton, aquatic plants, and algae in freshwater, estuaries, and the ocean, which in Texas is called the Gulf of Mexico.
What's Your Watershed Address?
Everything that happens on the land in a watershed affects the water body into which it drains. A stream, pond or wetland can only be as healthy as its watershed. How we use the land affects the health of our aquatic resources, and in turn affects us and what we do in the watershed. In a healthy watershed, water is filtered and stored, but as water runs downhill, it can pick up whatever is on the ground beginning a process of altering water quality. When it flows through cities or across fields and pastures, water picks up dirt, pollutants, and heat. These contaminants flow into a stream, wetland or lake, affecting the water you use to drink, swim, or fish.
Water is the Ultimate Recyclable
The hydrologic cycle works like a huge water pump powered by solar energy and gravity. It is a global system, and every molecule of water on Earth travels through it. Because it is a cycle, it has no beginning or end. For three and a half billion years, the Earth's water has been moving from streams to lakes to oceans, flowing underground, sitting high up on mountain glaciers, freezing and melting on the edges of the polar ice caps and forming clouds in the atmosphere. Average weather conditions over time is what we call climate. Texas is so large it is affected by air drawn in from the Pacific Ocean as well as the humid topical air flowing in from the Gulf of Mexico.
Water is Life
Water has properties that make it essential to life. And although the earth is known as "the water planet," it has limited quantities of available freshwater. Humans need clean water to keep them healthy. Water can take three forms: liquid, solid (ice) and gas (vapor). Water exists in all three forms on Earth. Water can travel great distances. Water is called the "universal solvent" by chemists because it is very good at dissolving many different things. At this moment, the Earth has all the water it has ever had or will ever have. The hydrosphere is all the water on Earth. Compared to many countries, the US is water rich. We have 39 million surface acres of lakes and reservoirs. Agriculture is the biggest user of water. Water is the most important natural resource in Texas. Pure water is clear and transparent to light. Water may look clean but still be polluted. Pollution can also occur when too much organic matter, such as manure or human sewage, gets in the water and decays. The amounts and types of pollution in water affect water quality, which is water's fitness for a particular use. Fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and all other wildlife depend on water for life. In particular, aquatic resources such as fish require abundant clean water.

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Releases Memorandum on Recent Subject Matter Eligibility Decisions
On April 2, 2018, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office released a memorandum to the Patent Examining Corps regarding recent subject matter eligibility decisions issued by the Federal Circuit. The memorandum discusses two recent decisions that found claims that improve computer technology are directed to patent-eligible subject matter rather than to an ineligible abstract idea. The memorandum and decisions are instructive for practitioners who draft patent applications, confront subject matter eligibility challenges or respond to USPTO rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
In Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Systems, Inc., 879 F.3d 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2018), the Court (Dyk, Linn, Hughes) found no error in the district court's subject matter eligibility determination and unanimously held that the claims were patent-eligible under § 101 because they improved computer technology by protecting users against previously unknown viruses and enabled more flexible virus filtering. The invention recited specific steps to accomplish the desired result, and was a non-abstract improvement over traditional computer functionality and virus scanning techniques which only recognized the presence of previously-identified viruses.
Relying on recent Federal Circuit precedent, the Court stated that in cases involving software inventions, the inquiry into whether the claims are directed to an abstract idea often turns on whether the claims focus on a specific asserted improvement in computer capabilities. The claims at issue in Finjan are directed to a method of providing computer security by scanning a downloadable program for suspicious code such as viruses, and attaching the results of the scan to the downloadable program in the form of a security profile. The Court adopted a district court claim construction in finding that the behavior-based virus scan approach improved computer functionality because it determines whether the program performs hostile or potentially hostile operations.
In finding improved functionality, the Court refers to unclaimed features disclosed in the specification, such as the renaming or deleting files, as potentially dangerous or unwanted operations. In contrast to the improved behavior-based approach, conventional code-matching virus scans are limited to recognizing known viruses, typically by comparing the code in a downloadable file to a database of known suspicious code. The claimed security profile was found to improve computer functionality because it provides granular information about potentially suspicious code and can be used to protect against previously unknown viruses as well as known viruses that have been modified to avoid detection by conventional code-matching virus scans…

Complaint / review text:
Without hesitation I cancelled my Macy's credit card tonight. I have been a devout Macy's customer for many, many years and have spent thousands and thousands of dollars at your store. My credit rating is excellent-well over 800. I had a $50 balance on my bill as a result of buying a gift card for a friend, also a loyal Macy's customer. Recently I became ill and was a few days late on getting you my $50 payment. I confirmed tonight that you have since
received it. As a result, Macy's charged me $27. I called your customer service dept, explained the situation and asked them to look at my stellar history in hopes of having the $27 late charge waived. She explained that under no circumstances will Macy's ever waive a late fee. I am extremely disappointed in your practices and cannot believe that a $27 service fee is worth losing a long time customer. I have never asked for such a waiver and it is appaling that Macy's treats it's loyal customers with such a lack of understanding. I cancelled my card and will never again return to Macy's. I will spend my thousands of hard earned dollars elsewhere, in stores that appreciate my business and take into consideration when a payment is late by a few days ONE TIME! By the way, the friend I bought the gift card for, a loyal Macy's customer, well she is cancelling her card tomorrow. I plan on sharing my story with many family members and other friends and I can assure you that you have now lost many long time customers over a $27 late fee on a $50 balance. Macy's should be ashamed!

In "Casa: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood" the author Judith Ortiz Cofer writes about how her childhood was difficult, growing up in two worlds "the tropical island and the cold city"(38). She also talked about how her family would gather around and tell stories that would impact Cofer and her cousins life. These stories were passed down form generation to generation. These stories also showed Cofer and her cousin what to avoid in life and what to engage in life. The stories ended up becoming very important to Cofer and a huge part of her life.
The family stories would talk about life on the island versus their life now in the city. These stories had an influence on her. Cofer writes, "I grew up in two worlds, the tropical island and the cold city, and that would later surface in my dream and in my poetry."(38). These stories affected her poetry and literature but they also entered her imagination and she began to dream about them. Hopefully she will keep these stories a dream and not turn her ancestors stories into her reality. The family "always embellishing them with a little or a lot of dramatic detail."(38).
Meaning what the women are telling the young children are a little more exaggerated then what really happened just so they do whats right in life and not mess up like they did.
The stories that were told to Cofer and her cousin mainly taught them how to live life as a woman, especially a Puerto Rican woman in America(38). Cofer writes, "At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the hour of cafe con leche, the women of my family gathered in
Mama's living room to speak of important things and retell familiar stories meant to be overheard by us young girls, their daughters."(37). This statement shows how they would all
gather around when they were together and tell stories passed down. Cofer would believe whatever her family told her from the stories.
Cofer faces many challenges living as a multicultural person in the world. When she spoke
English she had a Spanish accent and when she spoke Spanish she had an English accent(40).
This is why Cofer was look at differently by her peer, they made her feel like an "oddball" (40).
This is why when her grandma would tell stories about begin a Puerto Rican women in America because of her "two-way accent"(40). Cofer took everything that Mama would say and process it. Cofer uses her grandmother's life stories to make it through her difficult childhood. Mama wants to give all the women of the family values to live by.
Cofer's childhood was difficult for her. She would move around the country all the time. Cofer writes, "Mama would be weaving my hair into a flat plait that required pulling apart the two actions of my hair with little jerks that made my eyes water"(39). This statement means that with
Cofer living two lives it makes her who she is today. Cofer states, "I felt my grandmother's hands teaching me about strength, her voice convincing me of the power of storytelling."(41).
Meaning that Cofer understands why her grandmother is telling her these stories. Yes it hurts her living these two lives but if it wasn't for that to happen it wouldn't have influenced her
