Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Lakes and Ponds Program. The workshop begins with an introduction to the invasive non-native species issue, how exotic species are introduced into our waterways, methods of dispersal, basic terminology, and guidance on performing bi-weekly monitoring and completing plant surveys. The remaining 3/4 of the class will engage participants in hands-on identification. A variety of nonnative and native plant species are provided, and people are encouraged to bring in their own samples of aquatic plants (no terrestrials please, we’re focusing strictly on aquatics). Participants will become familiar with using a dichotomous key and, although the emphasis is on exotic species, the goal is to teach people how to use the key so that they will be able to identify the majority of common aquatic plants in their lake or pond (native or otherwise). This workshop is free and open to the public, made possible by a grant from the Greater Lowell Community Foundation. The workshop is limited to 30 people; pre-registration is

required. To pre-register, please contact Kate McNierney, NRWA Office Administrator, at (978) 448-0299, or email KateM@ NashuaRiverWatershed.org. For more information about the workshop, contact Martha Morgan, NRWA Water Programs Director at MarthaM@ NashuaRiverWatershed.org. The NRWA is a non-profit environmental organization providing water and land protection and environmental education programs to 32 communities in north central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.

The stegosaurus was a large, planteating dinosaur that lived about 150 million years ago in what is now the western United States. It had two rows of bony plates shaped like huge arrowheads sticking out of its back and tail.

changes, geographic distribution, and environmental pressures. Mass Audubon, the state’s largest nature conservation nonprofit, has succeeded the Museum of Science in overseeing Firefly Watch and is continuing to partner with the laboratory of Tufts University biology professor Sara Lewis, a recognized authority on North American firefly behavior and ecology. “I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of this exciting citizen science project with Mass Audubon,” Professor Lewis said. “As we try to track firefly population trends around the country, we really need everyone’s help. Plus, it’s fun! Everyone loves watching—and counting—fireflies, right?” Director of Education Kris Scopinich shared the Tufts researcher’s enthusiasm, noting, “Citizen science aligns closely with Mass Audubon’s mission to connect people with nature, so we are truly excited to be overseeing Firefly Watch and partnering with Sara Lewis and her team. “Mass Audubon members and all those who participate from

across the U.S. and Canada in this worthy project are working at the intersection of their own curiosity about fireflies, a concern for conservation, and scientific discovery,” Scopinich added. “Let’s also remember that fireflies are a great reason to explore all of the wonder of nature at night.” To sign up and to learn more, please visit www.massaudubon. org/fireflywatch.

Female, 4 years old, black and white cat.

I recently arrived at the shelter with my best pal Bee Bee. We arrived at the shelter when our previous owner was no longer able to care for us. We are very bonded to one another and must be adopted together. I’m the more outgoing of the two and I’m a very sweet girl with a lot of cute behaviors. I love to play with toys and tilt my head when you call my name. I tend to guard Bee Bee so you’ll have to pet me first, so I can make sure you’re ok before I let you pet Bee Bee. We like to rub against each other and take naps off and on during the day. All cats are spayed/neutered and up to date on shots.

saturday, august 4, 2018

based on Montessori principles of individual hands-on learning, which helps young children to develop and enjoy a relationship with Jesus the Good Shepherd through prayer, movement, and stories about Jesus. Older children are exposed to the breadth and depth of the Bible and its purpose. They also actively explore prayer and worship. Each age level meets in its own room, called an “atrium”, in our newly remodeled Sunday School. The curriculum encourages children to explore and deepen their understanding of God and our worship. Children are taught and guided by a welltrained teaching staff.

Total Pain Care: It’s Up to You (NewsUSA) - The Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates that more than 100 million people in the U.S. live with pain. For some, the pain will be temporary

and will go away on its own. However, you may be among those whose pain has become chronic, lasting several months or more. While pain is universal, health care professionals are still challenged by its unique and personal nature. Not everyone experiences pain the same way and with the same intensity. The IOM report “Relieving Pain in America” recommends an interdisciplinary approach to treating pain that actively involves the patient in their own care. “The effectiveness of pain treatments depends greatly on the strength of the clinicianpatient relationship; pain treatment is never about the clinician’s intervention alone, but about the clinician and patient (and family) working together,” according to the IOM. The best person to speak up on your behalf most often is ? you! Self-advocacy refers to an individual’s ability to effectively communicate, convey, negotiate or assert his or her own interests, desires, needs and rights. It involves making informed decisions and taking responsibility for those decisions. Whether you are a person with pain or a caregiver, self-advocacy is an essential skill to learn and embrace. In pain management, selfadvocacy is vital. It is about understanding your strengths and needs, identifying your personal goals, knowing your legal rights and responsibilities and then communicating these to your family, friends and health care team. This is the first step in your journey to ensure the appropriate diagnosis and treatment for your pain. Through being your own advocate, or an advocate for someone you care about, you

saturday, august 4, 2018

become empowered -- with information, knowledge and selfrespect. Health care professionals can also play a key role by supporting their patients’ efforts toward self-advocacy. The website In the Face of Pain (www.IntheFaceofPain. com/advocacy) offers information, resources and materials that can be used to advocate for yourself or a loved one who lives with pain. You can also download the free Handbook for People with Pain that includes tips and tools for effectively communicating with health care providers, as well as a focus on caregiving and clinical trials. Remember, you are your most important advocate.

Know The Basics About Virtual Currencies (NAPSI)—The recent run-up in price for Bitcoin and other virtual currencies has piqued investors’ interest. However, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) advises investors to understand the risks that go with virtual currencies before adding them to their portfolios. What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a convertible virtual currency. Virtual currency is a digital representation of value that may function as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and/ or a store of value. Is Bitcoin a commodity? Yes, Bitcoin and other virtual currencies have been determined to be commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). Does the CFTC oversee Bitcoin? The CFTC’s jurisdiction is implicated when a virtual curren-

pg. 15

cy is used in a derivatives contract, such as futures or options contracts. The CFTC’s oversight over commodity cash markets is limited. The CFTC maintains general anti-fraud and manipulation enforcement authority over virtual currency cash markets as a commodity in interstate commerce. What risks come with virtual currencies? While virtual currencies may have potential benefits, purchasing virtual currencies on the cash market—spending dollars to purchase Bitcoin for your personal wallet, for example—comes with a number of significant risks, including: • Most cash markets are not regulated or supervised by a federal government agency. • Platforms in the cash market may lack system safeguards, including customer protections. • Cash market manipulation. • Platforms selling from their own accounts and putting customers at a disadvantage. • Price volatility risks. • Cybersecurity risks. What do I do if I suspect fraud? To report suspicious activity, contact the CFTC at (866) 366-2382, consumers@cftc. gov, or visit SmartCheck.gov/ SubmitaTip. For more information, visit www.cftc.gov/bitcoin. This article was prepared by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Office of Customer Education and Outreach.
