Soil structure and soil type are critical in determining plant species diversity and in the ability of soil to deliver other benefits such as carbon storage, water storage and food production.
Recently, the British Ecological Society (BES) produced a response to the Environmental Audit Committee's inquiry on Soil Health in the UK. This can be viewed here.
Understanding the soil type, structure and texture will all help in understanding the current species diversity and potential restoration of floodplain meadows.
Some soil characteristics, such as the soil profile, texture and structure, can be explored through observation in the field. More detailed information about physical structure requires laboratory analysis of soil samples or more complex field measurements.
More detail on soil, and how to understand them can be found in Chapter 5 of our technical handbook.
A soil key can show you the type of soil your site lies on. Knowing the type of soil you have is really important in understanding the plant community response to change and the movement of water across the site. This knowledge can help you decide the best management option for you.

Pets act out in a number of ways, and many of their behaviors can be quite unpleasant. Whether it’s a simple house training issue or something more serious, like aggression, bad behavior can be stressful for everyone. In fact, it’s the number one reason why people relinquish their pets to shelters. At Markham Veterinary Clinic, we want to step in before it gets to that point. Our team is experienced in companion animal behavior and can provide the guidance you need to restore peace and balance back into your home.
Once your companion has been given a clean bill of health, the next step is pinpointing the true behavior we’re dealing with. This is critical because in many cases, a bigger problem may manifest itself in several smaller ways. For example, destructive behavior when left alone may actually be a symptom of separation anxiety. We will work with you and your four-legged friend to determine precisely what the situation is so we can address it most effectively.
Don’t let unwanted behavior stand in the way of bonding with your animal friend. The professionals at Markham Veterinary Clinic can help you enjoy the loving, peaceful relationship you both deserve. Give us a call today to get started!

Christmas is nearing, so the Grinch is back --- trying to steal their beloved holiday from the Whos in Whoville. Voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch, sans British accent, the Grinch is still a big green curmudgeon who has HATED Christmas for 53 years in THE GRINCH.
In the 2018 version, we learn that the Grinch has loathed this festive day ever since he spent his childhood in the Whoville orphanage with no family or anyone to celebrate Christmas. Naturally, he grew to dislike the day, eventually retreating to Mt. Crumpet, overlooking Whoville. As an adult, he resides in a rather luxurious, gadget-filled cave with his faithful, adorable dog, Max.
As he plots to steal Christmas from Whoville, a sweet little girl named Cindy Lou Who (voiced by Cameron Seely) is transfixed with the idea of meeting Santa Claus. She is convinced Mr. Claus is the only one who can help her save her mother, Donna Lou (voiced by Rashida Jones) from a life of drudgery, working day and night to provide for her and her baby brother.
It all collides on Christmas Eve when Cindy Lou does manage to ensnare the Grinch as he has only one house left before stealing the entire Whoville Christmas. Will her kindness prevail --- or will the Grinch manage to get his wish --- to ruin Christmas Day for everyone in Whoville?
First off --- David is not a fan. But seriously, "who" --- no pun intended --- cares? THE GRINCH was not written and conceived for him. It is intended to enrapture and entertain small children, like the ones in our screening who were belly laughing throughout.
I'm not stating that this is the best Christmas film I've ever seen --- far from it. The narration by Pharrell Williams is uninspiring. He could have punctuated the rhyming so much better --- making for a far more enjoyable adaptation of the brilliant Dr. Seuss' work.
THE GRINCH is colorful, delightful fun --- for the little ones. And "who" doesn't love a decent film all about the best holiday of the year --- Christmas?
Opinion: Very Mild See It Now!
The best thing I can say about THE GRINCH are the billboards liberally sprinkled throughout Los Angeles. They quote sarcastic comments attributed to the Grinch, accompanied by his big, green, smirking character. Example1: (at a major intersection) "I love it when the light turns green and nothing moves". Example 2: "Another day of sunshine?"
THE GRINCH in the film (Benedict Cumberbatch) is not nearly as mean as the billboard promos. In fact, this installment in the series should logically be the final one since the Grinch takes a page from Ebenezer Scrooge and discovers the true meaning of Christmas --- family and love. Where could another sequel possibly go from there?
Other than that, THE GRINCH is fine for little ones. A few five-year-olds at our screening were giggling. But the movie presents nothing new in terms of the Grinch's reputation for grouchiness at Christmastime.
Danny Elfman's music --- the famed composer who happens to have the perfect name for this particular film --- is very good, and the opening frenetic city scenes of Whoville preparing for their favorite holiday are fun, but that's about it. I agree with Jeanne that Pharrell Williams' narration is less than compelling --- it should have been more poetic in the traditional Grinch style.
Parents can take their toddlers to this picture and not worry about anything too scary. Just don't expect much in the way of entertainment for adults.

Mitchell D. Nothling is a final year PhD candidate in the Melbourne School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Luke Connal. He is a John Stocker Postgraduate Scholar and an Endeavour Research Fellow and has recently returned from an extended research visit at the University of California Santa Barbara in the laboratory of Prof. Craig Hawker. Mitchell gained his undergraduate degrees at the Queensland University of Technology, before joining a large, multi-national mining company in various engineering and technical advisory roles.
Mitchell has broad research interests in catalysis, biomimicry, chemical education and communication. As a PhD candidate, Mitchell is conducting novel synthetic chemistry research yielding new catalytic materials for industry based on the function of nature's best catalysts – enzymes.
Anne Aulsebrook is a PhD candidate from the School of BioSciences at the University of Melbourne. Her research, supervised by Professor Raoul Mulder, Dr Therésa Jones (University of Melbourne) and Dr John Lesku (LaTrobe University), is currently exploring how artificial light at night affects urban birds. She is particularly interested in how streetlights affect circadian (day-night) rhythms, including sleep.
Anne has been interviewed for ABC Radio National, 3RRR, ABC Adelaide and Lateral Magazine, and has written articles for scientific engagement platforms such as Wild Melbourne and Pursuit. In 2016, Anne was awarded Runner Up in the University of Melbourne Three Minute Thesis Competition.
Hi, I'm Dr Andi Horvath, and today we bring you up close to PhD level research. We're often grateful to the urban planners of the past who left spaces for parklands and botanical gardens in our cities where we can have picnics, stretch out on the grass and even feed the birds. But hang on. Should the birds be equally grateful for our cities, and what about the downside of sitting on all those beautiful lawns, those nasty grass stains on our clothes?
In this, our annual PhD episode of Up Close, we speak to two young researchers on diverse topics that come together in this imagined scenario. Later in the program we'll hear from doctoral candidate Mitchell Nothling who's exploring how enzymes found in nature, and in particular our digestive systems, could be a clue to designing more effective detergents to help us get out those grass stains.
But first, we speak to Annie Aulsebrook, also a PhD candidate, who's looking at how birds are affected by the bright artificial lighting we build in our cities. Annie is investigating the impact of light emissions on swans and pigeons, and in particular how it might change their behaviour and melatonin levels. We know light pollution affects human behaviour too, but what is the effect on birds and how might this research help to inform future urban planning? Annie Aulsebrook works with bio-scientists at the University of Melbourne and at Latrobe University. Annie, welcome to Up Close.
Now, the reason we can't see stars in our city is due to light pollution, much to the frustration of amateur astronomers trying to see the stars, but there are measurable effects from light pollution on people and animals. Can you tell us more about that?
Yeah, lots of research so far on the impacts of light pollution on wildlife has focused on the timing of behaviour. In Europe they've found that birds in light-polluted areas start singing earlier. They might be active for longer during the day and be more active at night. There's also some species that will avoid light at night, so some bats will completely avoid brightly-lit areas. Others actually thrive on brightly-lit areas, so the fast-flying bats will pick up on insects that are drawn to lights. There seem to be a lot of diverse impacts on wildlife.
In humans, a lot of the focus has been on health, which makes sense, and we often tend to focus on brighter lights when we're talking about humans because they're the lights we're exposed to indoors. So for example, when you look at an iPad before bed, some research has found that that can affect your sleep and how you're feeling the next morning.
Yeah, that's right. Blue light suppresses the hormone melatonin, which is important for our circadian rhythms which are those internal daily rhythms in behaviour and our physiology such as sleep.
Now you've decided to focus on urban lighting and its effect on birds. Now, why birds, and what has the research taught us about this so far?
Birds are interesting because they're in some ways more similar to us than the lab rodent models that we tend to use. Mice and rats tend to be nocturnal, while birds tend to be diurnal like us, so they're active during the day and they sleep at night. So that's part of the interest in birds.
Research, so far like I said, has focused often on behaviour. There's been evidence that bright light at night, or even quite dim light at night similar to a full moon, can actually suppress melatonin in some birds, which could have really important implications for learning and health and development if that is having impacts on sleep as well, and we know that melatonin's also important for the immune system as well.
Annie, the swans have been in our parklands for a long time, so what's the impetus to explore this question, and why the swans in particular as opposed to other bird species?
For a few reasons. One, a lot of the focus has been on songbirds, which have very strict daily rhythms, and swans are a bit more flexible. So it would be interesting to see how they affected. Swans are also very convenient to study. They're very big, easy to see, quite easy to catch down at Albert Park because there's people down there all the time and they're very used to people. This population at Albert Park lake has been studied for the last 10 years as well, so all the Swans can be individually identified. They all have tags so we can see who they are from a distance, and because of their size it makes it easy for them to carry small data loggers that we can use to measure their activity and also their sleep.
Now, Albert Park lake is a large body of water in Melbourne, Australia, and just to remind our international listeners, our swans are black. Tell us about the difference between black swans and white swans.
They're quite closely related. The black swans are black all over except for the adults. Under their wing, they have a patch of white.
Essentially they're the same species.
No, not the same species, but closely related.
Now you said you've fitted the swans with trackers. Is this kind of like putting a Fitbit on a swan?
Exactly. So we put accelerometers on the swans, which essentially are Fitbits, and so they measure movements in three dimensions. So we can use that to figure out what the swan's doing and when it's active.
How do you take a blood sample from a swan? How much of a blood sample do you need?
Not a whole lot. So we use the blood samples for a few reasons. We use them for determining the parents of each swan, and we use them for sexing the swan through genetics, because it can be quite difficult to tell males from females, and I'm using them to measure melatonin. It's basically about 200 microliters I use.
So essentially we're just talking a drop of blood.
So tell us more about swan physiology and behaviour. Do swans have the same deep sleep patterns that we do? Do they have REM sleep and non-REM sleep?
Yes. So birds have rapid eye movement sleep and non-rapid eye movement sleep. They're quite different to us in the sense that they can move between these cycles quite quickly. A human sleep cycle can be about 90 minutes all up, but in a bird they can go into rapid eye movement sleep for just a matter of seconds, maybe five, 10 seconds. In birds, the brain activity during rapid eye movement sleep looks a lot like wakefulness, and not all birds have corresponding changes in muscle tone that humans have, so it can be quite difficult to identify.
Is there a difference between the male and female in terms of their behaviour in nesting?
Yes. Males and females, they take it in turns incubating the eggs on the nest, and past research has suggested that males tend to incubate the eggs during the day while the females tend to incubate the eggs at night. So that's one thing that I'm interested in for my research, because essentially the male, presumably, has to become almost nocturnal during that period, because if he wants to forage and find food he has to do it when he's not on the nest.
So Annie, what are the likely impacts on birds from excessive city lights?
So if streetlights are suppressing production of melatonin in birds, that could be having impacts on immune functions, on health. Melatonin is also involved in processes related to aging. There could be implications there. In terms of sleep, as well, we know that sleep is really important for learning, for development and for daily performance and, particularly for a wild animal, if it's less vigilant because it's tired then maybe it might be more vulnerable to predation or it might not be as good at protecting its eggs, or it might be more aggressive. There's some slight evidence that sleep is related to those types of behaviours.
There's also the possibility that birds just avoid light at night. My research so far, I don't think that's the case for the swans, but for other species perhaps, if they're avoiding light at night they might not be getting those physiological impacts but it might be having other impacts. So it might mean that they're less efficient at foraging because they have to avoid particular areas, and that might be more relevant to nocturnal animals like owls rather than diurnal birds.
Another possibility too is that diurnal birds being more active at night could start encroaching on the niche or the space that is used by other species, creating competition where it didn't exist before. So there's a lot of possibilities.
So without trying to pre-empt your findings, what would it mean if streetlights were indeed found to have a negative impact on bird life? What would happen then?
I think we need to start thinking about minimising our light to where it's actually needed. Because lighting has got so cheap now - it's also getting more energy-efficient - lights are often just put up everywhere with the assumption that people want them. That's not necessarily true, and it can have these negative effects. So I think we need to start thinking about minimising our lights. There's already a lot of talk about making sure lights are shielded, so that they're only actually lighting what we want them to light. Also about the spectrum that we use in our lighting, so reducing that blue peak in our LED lights.
Oh, getting those warmer LEDs, perhaps?
Yeah, warmer LEDs or using filters, which kind of like cellophane, they can change the colour of the light.
So basically rethink urban lighting.
Yeah. The common term that's being used is smart lighting, so making our lighting smarter.
Tell me about urban ecology in general. How important is it to have animals that are happy in our cities?
I think there's two main reasons. One is that urbanisation is increasing and more and more people are living in cities. Cities are growing, so they're forming a huge part of our environment. So we can't just conserve or look after the wildlife that's outside of our cities.
Another reason is that we live in the cities, and if we are surrounded by wildlife that we care about and we get those positive interactions then people are more likely to care. So if we can't care about what's within our cities, then how are we going to care about what's outside them?
Annie Aulsebrook, thank you for talking to Up Close.
No worries, it was a pleasure.
You're listening to Up Close. I'm Andi Horvath, and I'm chatting to two young doctoral candidates - Annie Aulsebrook and Mitchell Nothling - about their research and its possible impact for the rest of us. Our trip to the park to feed the swans will never be the same again.
Now, today's enzyme-based detergents, including the powders you pour into your washing machine, only work at specific temperatures, and that has an impact on when and where they can be used. But can we improve on nature's design of enzyme action, and in what situations would it be useful? What's all this got to do with our own digestive systems? Our next guest, chemical engineer Mitchell Nothling, is a PhD student at the Melbourne School of Engineering, and he joins us now to discuss his research in this area. Welcome aboard, Mitchell.
Mitchell, let's start with what is an enzyme, what do they do?
So enzymes, without exaggeration, are probably the most important class of molecules that underpin life. They're nature's catalysts, so they speed up the reactions that make life possible. They're incredibly widespread. They occur from the energy conversion in plants to your digestive system, as you mentioned, to the immune response and almost every major physiological function.
These are the same things that are involved in brewing, and things like that?
That's exactly right, yeah. So they've been used indirectly by humans in industrial applications since pre-history.
So don't we already have detergents with enzyme action? I'm sure I read that on the pack. Why is this study needed?
Yes we do. Enzymes are added to detergents, and that's probably the largest application. The issue, as you alluded to, is that enzymes have a very narrow operating range. So they evolved under physiological conditions, so they work well at the body temperature, in body pH and salt concentrations, but when we move outside of that range we find that the effectiveness of the enzyme is degraded.
So for a laundry application, if we're running at cold or hot temperatures then we find that the effectiveness of the enzyme additive is not as good as it could be.
Right. Let's talk a little bit more about the biological enzymes that need particular conditions to perform. They're a bit like demanding rock-stars, really. So they need a particular temperature, but are they a one-use thing? Do they fall apart under different conditions of alkalinity? What are some of the other things involved with enzymes?
That's the nice thing about nature's catalysts, is that they evolved to be very specific. So they react to one specific substrate, which is the material that they break down in or bind together. Enzymes do a number of functions. So the enzymes in the digestive system work on the things that we typically eat. They work at the temperature that the body works, and under the conditions of the stomach.
Mitchell, tell us about the business end of enzymes. What exactly is involved? Are they like little Pac-men?
Yeah, that's exactly right. So you can think about them sort of like a very small mouth, on a molecular scale, with a very ordered set of teeth, but these teeth are made up of amino acids. So this is the same material that makes up every protein in your body, and in fact enzymes are, themselves, proteins - catalytic proteins.
Proteins that split proteins? Is that right?
Yes, some are. So the enzymes that split proteins are called the proteases, and they all utilise a similar mechanism to do that degrading. So these are the enzymes that are found in your stomach, created by your pancreas, and they degrade the triglycerides - fats and oils that are part of your diet. They make more soluble products so that your body can more easily get at the energy that's held within.
Now this brings me to my next question. Can we improve on nature's designs, because I think that's what you're trying to do, yeah?
I absolutely am, yes. The issue with enzymes is their low stability, so that really narrows the operating range that we have for industrial enzymes, in particular in detergents. So if we could reduce the temperature that we could run our washing machine at, for example, then that would be a massive saving in energy, that we don't have to heat the water up, and would have particular impact in parts of the world - in countries that don't have that ready access to hot water.
hat brings all of these amino acid teeth into proximity to afford the catalysis that we're interested in, but this bringing into proximity is very susceptible to small environmental changes. So if we could remove the need to have the natural protein then we would have a material that is more resilient.
Now I have to ask, a lot of detergents can be disastrous for the environment. So tell us about why this work matters.
A lot of detergents are an issue for the environment because of the additives that they need to have, so the various phosphates and surfactant molecules cause issues downstream in the environment. The enzyme additive isn't so much of an issue. Because it is a natural material, it's very widespread in the environment, so natural enzymes aren't an issue.
The material that we're trying to develop to replace enzymes or to substitute for enzymes, we're not at the stage yet that we can say whether these things will be an environmental issue, but the idea that we want to work towards is that they're very reusable. So we should not be making any undue waste out of these materials, and the idea is that, for example, we could coat a washing machine with an enzyme-mimicking coating, and then remove the need for a detergent altogether.
Alright, give us some more context about how this will help society, or even industry.
So the detergent application is just a small window. That's where our funding has come from, so that's where the focus of the research lies. But this approach that we're using, of mimicking the functional core of enzymes, is very applicable to other types of enzymes, not just the proteases. So we could foresee an application in biodiesel production if we can get these materials to perform the types of reactions that are required in biodiesel preparation.
We could also see antibacterial applications. So these sorts of materials mimic the antibacterial properties of natural enzymes. So if we could reproduce this onto a coating for a dental implant, for example, then we could begin to move towards antibacterial surfaces.
Right. So you're really working on the chomping teeth of the Pac-Man, but putting it on a different handle?
That's exactly right. When you get down to the core of enzymes it's actually a very small, simple area that does the actual function that we're interested in. The key that the enzyme uses is bringing these into perfect alignment like a lock to accept the key of the substrate, so if we can take that small lock and mount it onto a number of different surfaces or surfactants then we can target it more appropriately as an application.
Now, a lot of research involves collaborations, and of course funding bodies. Tell us a little bit about that.
So, we've received funding from Unilever from the earliest stages of this work. They're looking more at the potential of this application in detergents, so they're most interested in being able to reduce the washing temperature. So if we can move from having to heat water to 10 degrees or 20 degrees Celsius then the situations that we can use these sorts of materials widens.
What have you found surprising during your PhD studies so far?
So, a surprising thing for me was we've actually developed an assay technique. So this is a test that we use to determine how well these materials work, and I had spent a significant amount of time and effort to establish whether our new materials can break things down like we hope they would, and an interesting result for me was when we compared these to the natural enzyme chymotrypsin, which is a digestive protease. It occurs in mammals and is developed by the pancreas.
The interesting result for me was that our materials outperformed this natural enzyme, chymotrypsin, under the assay conditions that we had. So this is room temperature, with organic solvents added. So if our materials can outperform a natural enzyme under these tightly controlled environments then maybe there's wider application for them.
So what are the challenges of doing this kind of research?
So the challenge is that nature has had billions of years to evolve these perfect catalysts, so enzymes are incredibly effective at the jobs that they were evolved to do. The enzymes in your stomach degrade food a billion times faster than would be possible without their presence. So having this as a goal to try to replicate has been a significant challenge.
The first step was to identify how we wanted to replicate the enzyme's function, and we've ended up with quite a simple model now, and quite a straightforward synthesis to make these new materials. The issue has been trying to differentiate from enzymes. I don't think that we'll ever approach the function of enzymes under physiological conditions and under the very specific substrates that they react on, but I think that the application for this technology is outside of that range, so lower or higher temperatures, pH and salt concentrations.
Mitchell Nothling, thank you so much for sharing your research with us.

Now that FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has proposed what Broadcasting & Cable’s John Eggerton artfully calls a “Title II Lite” approach to broadband regulation, it’s a good time to take a second look (or maybe your first) at a recent paper by Robert Corn-Revere.
Bob wrote a Perspectives policy paper for The Media Institute titled “Defining Away the First Amendment,” which we released May 4.
Whoa, you mean there’s a First Amendment dimension to this reclassification debate? You’d never know it by listening to the FCC, or to “net neutrality” supporters like Free Press. Maybe that’s not surprising, since the First Amendment could very well prove an unwelcome stumbling block for Chairman Genachowski and his net-neutrality ilk. Easier for them just to ignore it.
But, I would suggest to you, the First Amendment is far too important to ignore here. In his issue paper, Bob Corn-Revere has shed some much-needed light on a pivotal concern that the FCC has tried to keep in the shadows. Taking a “lite” approach to Title II reclassification doesn’t absolve the FCC of its constitutional obligations. If anything, we need more “light” from Bob and others who are willing to hold the FCC accountable for the First Amendment ramifications of its regulatory agenda.

Clicking the + button at the top of your list of channels always got you to a Channel Browser (true!) but that channel browser has been improved in lots of little ways. The fact it will now indicate which channels you're a member of is but one. Click it to find the others.
Fixed: Animated gifs sometimes showed a “gif” overlay in the middle of the image. While both informative and accurate, this made it slightly — very slightly — harder to see the gifs. We cannot apologize enough. Please be assured, it is now rectified.
Your latest unread channels should now highlight and get sorted to the top of your sidebar faster than before. Zippy!
Fixed: Externally-hosted files (like those hosted on Google Drive, for instance) were showing download button that looked great, but didn't actually work. Now it looks great, also works, and everything opens as it used to.
Dark Mode can now be switched on (or off) in the Settings menu. Yes, it’s been a long road, but there’s finally dark at the end of the tunnel. NB: This is mobile only for now, with desktop coming later — thank you for both bearing with us, and for continuing to expect more of us.
We’ve updated the background color of the app icon, to make it easier to see.
A small detail for the eagle-eyed: We've changed the way we number our releases. The last one was 2.76.1, this one is 19.2.1. Most people won't notice, but we wanted to make sure you knew you hadn't missed anything. Carry on.
Fixed: @-mentions and block quotes were sometimes showing up in weird colors and sometimes not displaying at all. This simply wasn't cricket, so we fixed it.
Uploading a pdf file to a channel or DM, you’ll now, magically, see a preview of the first page.
Fixed: The “Close conversation” button stopped working, which is surely the software version of being awkwardly stuck in the corner of the room at a party talking to the person who wants to describe every single traffic issue they’ve ever encountered. Now it works again. Feel free to make your way to the buffet (or “the rest of Slack”, as we like to call it).
Fixed: Custom emojis that did not start off as perfect squares were appearing squished or stretched, and that simply wouldn't do. Our myriad apologies for this terrible state of affairs. It is now remedied.
Fixed: Switching channels then very quickly tapping the message entry box sometimes meant typing wouldn't do anything. This is fixed: let your fleet fingers fly.
Need to pause notifications? Thinking of going on vacation for more than 24 hours? Good news. You can pause them beyond a single day, or until a specific date or time. And we’ve also added two new presets to our existing list: “Until tomorrow” and “Until next week”. A veritable panoply of new options for pausing notifications! Or, at the very least, "several"!
Now, after you confirm your email, you’ll see a list of your workspaces, and pick which ones you’d like to sign into. And then sign into them!
You can now receive notifications while using the app, so If you're catching up on a channel and you receive a DM you won't miss it (and if that doesn't sound like something you'd want, you'll find this in the notification settings menu).
Fixed: Enterprise users who were added to a new workspace wouldn’t see the workspace until they signed out and signed back in. They'll now see it far sooner.
If your device is running Oreo or a more recent version of Android, you'll now find your notifications sorted into categories, giving you more control over how and when you see them.
Fixed: Sometimes, when the app was unable to detect what your status was meant to be, it would crash instead. This was a bad choice on the part of the app, and, after a time-out, the app has apologized and agreed to stop doing that.
Fixed: After ending a Slack call, the call sometimes appeared to be ongoing in the notifications tray. It wasn't (ongoing) but the fact that it was (in the notifications tray) meant a new call couldn't be started. Apologies for this, it's all better now.
Nothing lasts forever. Now when you set your status, you can also set a time (or date) for that status to expire. No longer will people question how you're "Working remotely on Tuesday" when it's Thursday, or wonder why you've been "At the dentist" for 19 consecutive hours.
Fixed: The overflow button that showed up when viewing a user profile was one pixel too low. It is now just right.
Fixed: Starring a message would, in rare cases, result in the star being replaced by a “No Icon” icon. Not no icon; an icon denoting the lack of icon (which is, arguably, in itself, an icon). The "No Icon" icon has now been replaced with the correct icon, and a lingering question over whether "icon" is a word at all.
Message actions come to Android: It's now easier to create tasks, comment on tickets, or follow-up on things while on the move. So if you have important tools like Asana, Zendesk and Jira connected to Slack, you can now long press any message and create a follow up without needing to log into those tools. It's very good. We recommend it.
Fixed: Restoring the app from a backup would occasionally turn off notifications. We know that was not, is not ever in fact, the intended consequence of restoring your app.
The issue of unruly App Shortcut shapes has been resolved. When you create an App shortcut, the icon will now match the shape of the other icons on your home screen, a feature, we understand, that has been much desired by a user called Ian. So Ian: this one's for you.
Fixed: Trying to open an attachment that was forwarded to Slack using the special "forward to Slack" email address would crash the app. It no longer does.
Threads now support files — and files support threads. Images and files can be uploaded directly to threads — you can do it by adding files as you normally would. When you comment on a file or an image, it is stored as thread reply. Just like message threads, your replies will now stay nested in a thread attached to the file.
The feature diagnosing notification problems has been behaving better on some devices than others. It should now be best for all.
Searching for, and switching between, channels, is now a markedly improved experience. In terms of performance. Content of said channels remains outside our control.
Searching in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean will now work much, much better.
Fixed: A clutch of bugs causing confusion about whether a user was online or off. Now, whether you set availability by typing "/away" or through the user settings menu, your state of green-dottedness (or not) should now be immediately reflected in the app.
Fixed: This is just to say — we have fixed the "delete message" option you found next to your message that had failed to send, and which you were probably hoping would delete the message. Forgive us: it was annoying. So promising, and so nonfunctional.
Fixed: Tapping the share button very rapidly over and over again could lead to a loop where the file would get shared over and over again too (until the app was force-quit, or, let's face it, rage-quit). An air of calm now pervades.
Fixed: The application of logic and fine engineering now mean that downloading a file containing the ‘%’ character in the filename will no longer cause a crash.
Fixed: We broke the ability for bots to post under a specified username. This meant their messages would show up with their default name, or just as “bot”. With appropriate deference to our future robot overlords, this errant behavior has been remedied.
Fixed: A bug in the tubes was preventing some users from being able to initiate Slack calls in the Android app. Sorry about this — the pipes have been cleaned and the lines cleared, your call will now go through once more.
If you're having trouble with notifications, a new tool can help troubleshoot and fix them. It's under Settings -> Notifications -> Troubleshoot Notifications. Even the act of opening it might do the trick.
Fixed: If you rotated your device at the same time as trying to select a user in the Quick Switcher, the app could crash. We've turned this around.
Fixed: When sharing a message from today, "today" was not capitalized in the footer of a shared message. We cannot apologize enough. It is Now Fixed.
Fixed: The app can now be used when a device's only internet connection is over bluetooth or ethernet, unlike before, when it could only be used when a wifi or cellular connection was available. This is better.
Fixed: When people with particularly long names wrote messages, the date and time of sending were being knocked onto a second line, which was messy. It now, hopefully, is better, and will stop aesthetically offending designers.
Fixed: Looking for group conversations through the Quick Switcher was getting sluggish, and less good. It now filters faster.
Fixed: After adding an app to a channel, it wasn't possible to remove that app on Android. Now? Now, if you want it gone, it's gone.
Fixed: Autocompletion was broken for some users until they refreshed their cache. Apologies to those who preferred it broken: it was actually a bug.
Fixed: Changing your status on desktop or in another version of the app wasn't always reflected in all the right places on Android, but now is.
Fixed: An edge case in which editing a previous message after beginning a reply to a thread led to the text box for your new reply losing the space buffer on its left side. Yes, it was a marginal error. But now, a fixed one.
Fixed: After migrating their user data to a new phone, some users noticed notifications not working. Or rather, didn't, because they weren't. They now are.
Fixed: File uploads smaller than 1 MB were displaying their size in scientific notation. Knowing your file is 9.320000e+02B may be interesting, but isn't so useful. We now round up.
Fixed: A notification for a new message in a thread will now direct you to the message, as it should.
Fixed: Sometimes, when scrolling through search results, users would find a crash. This turned out not to be something anyone was looking for, so we fixed it.
Fixed: The autocompletion menu, which was not appearing when typing @ on a new line, is now appearing when typed on a new line.
Fixed: When receiving a notification in a thread you haven’t already viewed in the app, you will now be taken to that thread. Which is a significant improvement from the previous experience, which was the app crashing.
Fixed: The search icon (the magnifying glass) was extremely hard to find in certain color themes, which was somewhat ironic. Now it will change colors to be more visible, depending on your color scheme, and thus be more findable, as is apt.
Fixed: Sending messages over a spotty connection could cause Slack to crash. That’s now fixed, and we’ll keep working to make Slack easier to use in low-connectivity.
Fixed: If you commented on a file, then immediately shared it to another channel, Slack, overwhelmed, would fall over. We’re better than that.
Fixed: Toggling quickly between “away” and “available,” was sometimes leaving you with the wrong status. Basically, you were in, you were out, you were in, out; in, out: it shook us all about. We did some careful coding, and we’ve turned ourselves around. And that’s what it’s all about.
Fixed: Trying to upload multiple images at the same time will no longer cause a crash.
Fixed: Tapping on a bot or app icon with no network connection could cause the app to crash. Contrary to appearance, this was not the first sign of the robot uprising, just a bug.
Several obscure crashes, including one that could occur when the app encountered a link to a message also in Slack. This was a step of humility too far. So we fixed it.
Group conversations were not sending notifications as often as they should. Now they correctly respect the notification settings you’ve set, and should therefore get lost less often.
Slack now officially, and fully, supports Japanese. Along with the already available French, German, Spanish, and, of course, English (of the US variety).
Forgot to select an autocomplete result when mentioning someone? We’ll try to select the right person for you automatically. Less tapping, more working.
We added a new, simpler way to sign into all workspaces associated with an email address.
Handful of trifling bug fixes too small for the human eye.
On devices with Android Oreo, our launcher icon is now adaptive. Which means that it is either a circle or, apparently, a “squircle” depending on the device you’re using.
Fixed an issue where we would display empty attachments for some App Integrations. The attachments were not empty. Now, the displays aren’t either.
Previously, some folks were left with a crash when tapping the up-navigation button, and what went down was not right. So we fixed it (up).
Fixed: A sneaky issue where the "User is typing" text was hard to read because of the light text color.
Fixed: The Unread Badge for a Direct Message was sometimes sticking around, even if you’d read it. Now what’s read remains read, until there’s something new to read.
Fixed: When a workspace admin has restricted who can use @-here and @-channel, we no longer let people use @-here in messages or file comments. As you might have expected to begin with.
When adding channel topics or purpose, you can now use any standard message formatting, be it bold, italic, links or usernames.
We’ve added support that means you can disable the ability to comment on files in Shared Channels - for quick diffusion of multi-workspace confusion.
When you got two messages, you weren’t receiving a notification sound for the second one. You now will.
Somehow, we had stopped showing Today / Yesterday / Tomorrow in attachments that contained a date. Now you’ll always know what day it is (or rather, what day it was, when the attachment was uploaded).
Slack is now fully available in French, Spanish and German, down to the very last emoji.
Also, we added support for a brand new way of working with external companies from within Slack.
AND a whole new way of handling name tagging in order to handle the exciting world of challenges brought by the two things above. Phew.
Fixed: Newly-created group conversations mysteriously missing from the Drawer will now appear there once again.
Fixed: User Groups (like @engineers, @designers, or whatever groups you’ve created) which were not showing up in the message input autocomplete, now are.
Fixed: Some people running Android O were experiencing a crash on start-up. No more.
Fixed: When returning to a thread from the archive view, we now remember your scroll position, and return you to it accordingly.
Fixed: In an unwanted buy-one-get-one-free feature, people using Android O were getting notifications twice.
Fixed: In an unwanted buy-one-get-one-free feature, people using Android O were getting notifications twice. We just wanted to do it one final time in case you were, for some reason, enjoying it. The number of notifications has been reduced to a more desirable 100%.
We removed support for Twitter and EmojiOne emoji styles on Android, we know some people used them, and we salute you with the emoji of your choice - but they were very large. Fewer emoji styles = a smaller app for everyone.
Previously, you couldn’t see your own email when viewing your profile. You now can. If, for some reason, that is something you want to do.
“Oh no I pinned that by mistake!” Good news: You can now unpin a message by long-pressing and selecting that function from the list.
New: In side channel details, you’ll find a natty new Edit button allowing you to easily change the topic or purpose of the channel, or, if you have the ability to change the Channel name itself.
Fixed: If you wanted to set a reminder on a message that had been broadcast back to channel from a thread, you were foiled. Success is now yours.
Fixed: Tapping on a magic link no longer runs the risk of causing a crash - if nothing else, it wasn’t the kind of magic we intended.
Fixed a bug where animated custom status emoji, which should be paused, were animating. Moving forward there will be zero tolerance for the undead, at least in this context.
Handful of crash fixes. More than a spoonful, less than a bucket full, all good.
Fixed: Sometimes, when sharing a Snippet in Channel, we displayed a blank profile avatar. No more. Snippet where snippet is due.
Fixed: The ginormous emoji displayed on some devices when setting status was, remarkably, unintentional, and has been rectified.

Stephen King’s novels have provided the basis for some of the most enduring horror cinema, from Carrie and Christine to The Shining and The Stand. With Halloween a week away, I wanted to focus on a request I received to take a look at the protagonist’s style in the thrilling and witty adaptation of King’s self-inspired 1987 novel Misery. The novel was partly inspired by King feeling trapped both by his demanding, horror-loving fans and his own drug and alcohol demons, all embodied in the form of the obsessive tormentor Annie Wilkes.
Unfortunately, the New Yorker’s beautiful rear-wheel-drive pony car can’t handle the rigors of Colorado’s winding snow-covered roads and Paul soon finds himself bloodied, dazed, and trapped in his crashed Mustang… until a mysterious figure lifts him out of what would be a certain death scenario.
Paul awakens to the beaming face of Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates in an Oscar-winning role), his “number one fan” who reveals herself to be his number one nightmare.
Paul’s jacket for the Colorado winter is a tobacco brown suede blouson with a hunter green quilted lining for extra warmth in the snowy climate. The jacket has large bellows pockets on the hips that close with concealed-snap flaps, and there is a vertical opening behind each pocket for an additional hand pocket on each side. The zip-up jacket also has a two-button standing collar that Paul wears open and folded down like a standard shirt collar and ribbed knit cuffs and hem.
One last snowball before hitting the road… and hitting the snow.
Paul wears multiple layers under his jacket, including a dark red shirt made from a heavy microfiber fabric, patterned with a grid made of a black mini-check. The shirt has a front placket with black plastic sew-through buttons, two button-through patch pockets on the chest, and button cuffs.
Annie ostensibly removes Paul’s shirt along with the rest of his clothing after his accident. She gives it back to him to wear, perhaps as a reward, when they dine together at his suggestion midway through his draft of Misery’s Return.
Under the red shirt, Paul wears a black ribbed knit turtleneck.
Before he is confined solely to sweatpants, Paul wears a pair of medium blue denim jeans with a zip fly, worn without a belt.
Paul is pulled from his Mustang by a less-than-benevolent savior.
Paul wears a pair of russet brown moc-toe work boots with two-tone rawhide laces through seven derby-style eyelets up the front of each boot. The boots also have two sets of grommets for decorative side lacing, similar to the classic Sperry Top-Sider boat shoe. Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, and other companies that mastered preppy fashions have offered this type of “boat boot”, so named for their similarity to the traditional New England loafer.
He wears a pair of heavy ivory ribbed-knit wool socks to keep his feet warm when trudging through the snow.
When Paul wakes up bedridden at Annie’s, his wardrobe is reduced to a white long-sleeve T-shirt, slightly torn. This may be the shirt that Paul had been wearing as a undershirt beneath his turtleneck, but the emblazoned logo for “OLD WEST SADDLERY Leather Goods | Outfitters” may suggest that it came from the shop of the same name in Cortez, Colorado.
Not yet provided sweatpants by Annie, Paul spends his first few nights wearing only the light blue cotton boxer shorts he likely had on under his jeans during the accident.
Escape attempt #1 of many.
After his first few nights and the revelation of Annie’s true motives, Paul begins cycling through different clothing that Annie presumably provides for him. A montage set to Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 as interpreted by Liberace (who else?) showcases the progression of Paul’s wardrobe in captivity as he graduates from ratty henley shirts and sweatpants to the nicer flannel shirts in blue, white, and teal plaid as well as the Christmassy red, green, and white plaid shirt that he is wearing for the horrifying hobbling scene.
Paul Sheldon’s habit upon completion of his books is evidently well known in the literary world… or at least among die-hard fans like Annie Wilkes. His cigarette of choice is an unfiltered Lucky Strike, as seen in the opening shot of the film.
Also setting the scene in Paul’s hotel room as he finishes his novel in the opening scene is a chilling bottle of Dom Pérignon (“Dom Per-ig-non it is,” he later confirms to Annie) with a 1982 vintage.
On the opposite end of the vino spectrum is the Gallo “Classic Burgundy” red table wine that Annie serves for their Liberace-scored dinner date of Spam-infused meatloaf. While not Paul’s preferred libation, he is nonetheless grateful to have the wine as a possible vessel for the codeine pills to drug Annie.
The newspapers describing Paul’s predicament incorrectly describe his car as a blue 1965 Mustang. In addition to the three horizontal sweeps on the side scoops, the 1966 Mustang appears to have a free-floating “horse and corral” emblem on the grille as opposed to the honeycomb effect created by the four vertical grille bars of the 1965 models.
The “289” badging and shots of the car’s interior help us determine that Paul Sheldon is driving a Mustang equipped with a 289 cubic inch “Windsor” V8 engine and Ford’s new C-4 “Cruise-O-Matic” three-speed automatic transmission. The 289 was offered in three different performance packages for 1966, a two-barrel, a four-barrel, and a High Performance four-barrel (only available with the four-speed manual transmission), but we can assume that Paul is driving the base two-barrel V8.
Unfortunately, the rear-wheel-drive drivetrain doesn’t do Paul any favors while driving on the snow, and his Mustang skids out of control. If only Harry Ferguson Research had carried through on its prototype of an all-wheel-drive Mustang, having purchased and converted three Mustangs to 4×4 in the hopes of selling clients on its AWD system.
Paul Sheldon’s layered look nicely balances the aesthetic of a rugged outdoorsman with preppy success and would be equally fashionable and functional for autumn, winter, or even early spring.
Check out the movie and read Stephen King’s novel.
October 25, 2018 - 9:28 pm J.W.
In my opinion, one of Kings best novels. I wonder if you’ll ever do Thief by Michael Mann, another one of James Cann’s best performances (and a very underrated movie).

Home > Events > Civil War Since 1945. What Can be Done?
During 'Forskningsdagene' (The National Science Week), the CSCW invites you to a seminar on the phenomenon of Civil War. Professor James Fearon will give a lecture, followed by a discussion. The seminar will focus on the causes of civil war, and peacebuilding measures likely to succeed.
If you want to take part in the seminar, please register with seminar@prio.no.
The remarkable spread of persistent civil war in the poorest countries of the world has had little to do with ethnic demographics, religious hatreds, economic inequality, dependence on primary commodity exports, or even absence of political rights. Instead, it mainly reflects the success of a set of military techniques - rural guerrilla warfare - in countries whose state administrative and police capabilities are weak and underdeveloped. Peacekeeping operations to civil war-torn countries with low state capabilities will fail unless "peacekeeping" becomes successful state building. The relevant major powers and international institutions have not come to grips with this problem, and the current system does not provide adequate resources for peacekeeping operations. Since, in many countries, peacekeeping and state building are prerequisites for economic development, development aid should be allowed to flow to peacekeeping operations in the form of loans to be repaid as the country's economy recovers. James Fearon is one of the leading younger scholars within US political science.

8 ft. length comes with 3 aluminum stakes, size 1/8 in. x 4 in.
Manufacturer supplies a 15 year limited warranty against manufacturer defects.
To allow for 8" overlap: divide # of feet needed by 9.33 to obtain the # of 10' pieces needed. For example if you have 150' of installation length you will need to divide the 150' by 9.33 which equals 16 - 10' pieces needed.
Goes together like a charm, very durable. Do yourself a favor and get the anodized finish because it can take a beating.
I decided to spend the extra money for this product after trying several cheaper forms of edging. Between edging that cracked and broke, stones that sank and/or heaved over time, I was pretty frustrated with other solutions. I did part of my landscape over a year ago just to see if it would hold up over a growing season and NE winter. I was pleased to the point of now having it installed about 500 feet of edging along all my gardens. This includes straight runs, curves, and even "L" turns. It took some patience to install because my yard is full of rocks just under the surface, If not for that the job would have been fairly straight forward. I ended up buying an aluminum cutting blade for my circular miter saw for cutting as several manual cuts with a hacksaw got very tiresome.

Using an electric assisted bike like our Charger with a specially designed passenger trailer like this could be less expensive...even more practical than the traditional non-powered pedi-cab!
Standard pedi-cabs require more storage space than trailers...and these allow the operators to use their electric bikes for personal transportation when not moving passengers. This $1700 trailer has brakes, and a battery compartment for tail lights...and greater pedal assisted range. A canopy solar panel could help power other accessories (sound system, seat heating, illuminated ads...).
Our new 1000W 48V hub motor kit shown above, makes it easy to convert most single rear wheel trikes and pedi-cabs to electric assist for less than $1000.
The non powered front load cab on the left costs about $3000 plus shipping. It's a design with a low center of gravity, fairly narrow footprint, and small turning radius where the rear section leans into the curves. Lifting the handlebar activates the passenger foot rest. Three independent brakes are standard (2 front drum and 1 rear "v" pad type). With our kit, the rear could have a disk brake too, keeping the "v" as a parking brake.
The same kit is available in an easy to install front wheel drive version for bikes, single front wheel trikes, and pedi-cabs. But it may be wise to consider using the motor in a rear drive configuration, depending on the terrain and payload requirements. Though this involves a motor mount and chain drive to the rear axle, it may be worth the extra cost and trouble if you need the traction.
It makes even more sense to consider our new "mid drive" motor system when connecting to a multi-speed pedal power gear cluster or internal gear box used on some trikes. The many "EZ-3" and "Lightfoot" recumbent trikes using our E-4 "mid-drive" are examples of how this design expands motor efficiency...as well as our human capability, while keeping weight low!!! The "quadrabent" set-up in the following link moves our system to the realm of 4 wheel cycles, which up until now have normally been direct axle or wheel drive.

Vesicle: In dermatology, a vesicle is a small blister, as on the skin. Vesicles also occur on the mucous membranes, such as the buccal mucosa (the lining of the mouth). Vesicles are less than 0.5 centimeters in diameter.
In anatomy, a vesicle is any small pouch. For example, the seminal vesicles are a pair of pouch-like structures about five cm (2 inches) long located behind the bladder and above the prostate gland that contribute fluid to the ejaculate.
The word vesicle comes from the Latin diminutive vesiculum meaning a small bag or bladder.

This method also known as the simplex method is due to Nelder and Mead [Nelder65]. A simplex is a polytope of N+1 vertices in N dimensions. The objective function is evaluated at each vertex. Dependent on these calculated values a new simplex is constructed. The simplest step is to replace the worst point with a point reflected through the centroid of the remaining N points. If this point is better than the best current point, then we can try stretching exponentially out along this line. On the other hand, if this new point isn't much better than the previous value then we are stepping across a valley, so we shrink the simplex towards the best point.
This parameter is a positive integer to determine the maximum number of iterations the method is to perform. The default value is '200'.
This parameter is a positive number and provides an alternative termination criteria. If the variance of the values of the objective function at the vertices of the current simplex is smaller than the tolerance the algorithm stops. The default is ' '.
This parameter is a positive number and determines the size of the initial simplex. The edges of the polytope are inverse proportional to the scale, i.e., a larger value makes the initial simplex smaller. The default is '10'.

The Igeldo apartment is a place for those who, in their visit to San Sebastián, seek a quiet stay, surrounded by a traditional and rural environment, away from the noise of the city center. Located in Igeldo, San Sebastián neighborhood, similar to a small Basque town and surrounded by farmhouses, cider houses and beautiful views over the sea, the town of Igeldo, as it is known among its inhabitants, is a different experience in its visit to the city.
The apartment is in a square, next to what was formerly the town hall of Igeldo. It is a completely rebuilt building (2010) maintaining the traditional construction style and providing it with the most modern details and qualities inside. The apartments are located on 3 floors of the building and distributes its 65 m2 in a large living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The living room together with the dining room and the American kitchen form a spacious and comfortable space perfectly organized and well decorated, using a mixture of traditional and contemporary styles. At the same time it is a very bright space, since it has numerous windows that allow a great natural light input.
In the living room, a large viewpoint allows us to enjoy beautiful views of the countryside and the sea. The main room of the apartment is equipped with a double bed and has a balcony facing the square. The second room is equipped with two single beds. Both rooms have large fitted wardrobes.
Igeldo is a zone that is also visited by the natives, who go above all to eat in one of its traditional restaurants, such as Mendizorrotz, Buena Vista or Ekaitz, popularly known as Polipaso. There are also some cider houses that open throughout the year.
Very charming apartment. Bus to downtown was right outside the apt. Lovely hosts!!
We had a lovely time at this apartment. Bus was handy, hosts were lovely and the view was amazing!
Our family of four (2 adults and 2 children) stayed in this apartment for a week in August and we've had the best of times. The apartment corresponds exactly to the description, is very clean and has everything you need. The location (in the village of Igeldo, 4 km away from San Sebastian) is perfect: the place is quiet and the views are breath-taking. The local bus passes every 20 minutes and takes you to the main points of interest in the city of San Sebastian (beach, touristic objectives, city centre) in 15 – 30 min and spares you the time and energy of looking for a parking place in the crowd.
Last, but not least, I want to thank both Gari and Aitzol, the owners, for their warm welcome and the very nice way they managed to respond to all our questions and requests.
L’appartement est idéal pour une famille de quatre personnes, situé parfaitement pour visiter San Sebastian et la côte. L’accueil et le service sont vraiment parfait. Nous recommendons fortement!
Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Les propriétaires sont très agréables. L'appartement est parfaitement équipé, propre, coquet et très bien agencé. La literie est excellente. La vue est superbe. Seul bémol, c'est mal indiqué sur la route, pensez à bien repérer sur la carte avant de partir.

The forecast for subfreezing overnight temperatures in Eugene is nature’s fair warning that winter is here. Just enough time remains to review how to dress and walk for the best chance of staying safe, warm and upright.
Spoiler: A trick is to walk like a duck.
In the notoriously icy winter of 2016-17, the UO received reports of 14 slip-and-falls from around campus, many involving fractures. And that’s just what was reported; many more go undocumented, but all of them can hurt or lead to serious injury or missed work.
Slips, trips and falls are the leading cause of injury in Oregon, both in and out of the workplace. Changing how you walk on slippery surfaces can mean the difference between making it home safely and taking an unexpected trip to the hospital.
Slow down and take short steps: think waddling.
Walk flat-footed, with toes pointed slightly to the sides.
Keep your wings — or hands —by your side and not in pockets; hands in pockets can’t help break your fall.
In documented falls, a common factor is people taking long steps or even jumping to avoid a puddle or a patch of snow or ice. That leaves them out of balance and causes a slip and fall.
Sturdy shoes or boots with a tread that grabs are preferred in winter. Sandals, shoes with slick bottoms, or high heels can pose a safety risk in winter.
A hat or hood not only keeps the head warm and dry but also can protect from icy branches or falling bits of ice.
A good outer coat — either thick or with layers underneath — also does double-duty keeping the body warm and dry while providing padding against abrasion in a fall.
Gloves protect from cold and also offer padding in case of a fall.
If, despite all the right precautions, you do fall, remember to report any injuries, no matter how serious and regardless of medical treatment, so the UO can take proper action.

Background Akkermansia muciniphila is a mucin-degrading bacterium found in the gut of most healthy humans and is considered a ‘next-generation probiotic.’ However, knowledge of the genomic and physiological diversity of human associated Akkermansia is limited, as only one species has been formally described.
Results To begin to fill this knowledge gap, we reconstructed 35 high-quality metagenome assembled genomes from children and combined them with 40 other publicly available genomes from adults and mice for comparative genomic analysis. We identified at least four species-level phylogroups (AmI-AmIV) with distinct functional potentials. Most notably, we identified the presence of putative cobalamin (vitamin B12) biosynthesis genes within the AmII (n=26/28) and AmIII (n=2/2) phylogroups. To test these predictions, 10 novel strains of Akkermansia were isolated from adults and screened for essential vitamin B12 biosynthesis genes via PCR. Two strains of the AmII phylogroup were positive for the presence of vitamin B12 biosynthesis genes, while all AmI strains, including the type strain A. muciniphila MucT, were negative. To demonstrate vitamin B12 biosynthesis, we measured the production of acetate, succinate, and propionate in the presence and absence of vitamin supplementation in representative strains of the AmI and AmII phylogroups since cobalamin is a cofactor in propionate metabolism. Results show that the Akkermansia AmII strain produced acetate and propionate in the absence of supplementation, which is indicative of de novo vitamin B12 biosynthesis. In contrast, acetate and succinate were the main fermentation products for the AmI strains when vitamin B12 was not supplied in the culture medium.
Conclusions We identified Akkermansia strains as potentially important vitamin B12 biosynthetic bacteria in the human gut. This novel physiological trait of human associated Akkermansia may impact how these bacteria interact with the human host and other members of the human gut microbiome.

Tekwurx uControl drives success in discovery and configuration data related projects. Customers use uControl to manage the accuracy and quality of configuration and discovery data.
The uControl platform provides centralised management of distributed BMC Discovery deployments. It automates BMC Discovery updates and includes workflows for simplified and faster Application modelling.
The goal for Tekwurx uControl is simple: To help our customers continuously discover all known and unknown assets within their IT estate and populate their CMDB with trusted, high-quality CI data.
How do we understand what our asset baseline is?
How do we keep Helix Discovery dynamically up to date with IP ranges?
How can we make Helix Discovery discover what it doesn’t know about?
How do we identify & quickly remediate discovery issues?
Tekwurx uControl automatically tracks discovery issues, identifies gaps in data, finds issues affecting data collection and correlates discovered and non-discovered CIs to ensure you can trust your configuration data.
Tekwurx uControl integrates disparate data sources to drive value from your existing investments. Out of the box integrations to Helix Discovery include CSV files, JDBC, API and ServiceNow.
The application models created with Tekwurx uControl use a rule-based approach to identify service components from both discovered and non-discovered CI data. The rules automatically create actionable alerts to identify changes, possible root causes and suggested related components.
uMap enables end-users to quickly and efficiently map application/service models through an easy-to-use UI.
This automated solution reduces the amount of effort for modelling by 80 per cent and limits the need for outside expertise.
As a result, the associated costs are dramatically cut.
uChange allows users to understand changes to modelled applications and control any updates back within BMC Helix Discovery. Through an intuitive user interface, businesses can clearly see and manage any alterations to the application topography.
The benefits of uChange’s automated application lifecycle analysis and updates include increased productivity and reduced BMC Helix Discovery management costs.
uManage provides greater control over the management and delivery of BMC Helix Discovery.
The centralised and simplified management of all BMC Helix Discovery appliances ensures increased productivity and oversight.
A key feature is the automation of best practice into a structured workflow, helping you make sure your team is working as effectively as possible.
uReport enables users to analyse reports without the need to learn or use TPL language.
Through the friendly UI, uReport quickly shows users what they need to know about their appliances and application architectures from a top-level view, right down to an in- depth analysis.
This allows businesses to rapidly better understand their infrastructures and how to improve them.
uPolicy provides the ability to set policies for BMC Helix Discovery, Security, Vulnerability, Change Control and Software via a simple user interface. uPolicy will raise an event when a policy is breached.
uControl Teams provides the ability to allocate application mapping and remediation activities to the right team or individual and then track, and report on, progress.
Give your organisation the ability to control, monitor and administer multiple Helix Discovery appliances from a central console thus reducing the amount of time required to check appliance status, health and discovery conditions and simplifying the roll out of updates, patterns and scanning control.
Removes the need for you to learn TPL and instead enables applications to be modelled based upon a UI wizard – reducing the complexity of modellng and therefore the time taken to achieve results and the costs normally associated with this.
Provide your end users with a self help portal for using and working with Helix Discovery in your specific environment. Access to common questions, requirements for success, infrastructure deployment and discovery – all tailored to you.
Keep your application models current, up to date and in synch with your Application system of record by being alerted to application framework changes – enabling you to take the appropriate action.
Out of the box and customer defined policies enable the use of Helix Discovery discovery data in setting and monitoring organisational compliance – and more importantly where compliance is not being met.
Give your teams the confidence that they can rely upon the data you provide from Helix Discovery. Inbuilt gold data can be used to validate data being returned from your estate by Helix Discovery.

SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- A Nelson County man is in the middle of his first-ever attempt at thru-hiking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail.
Drew Perkins started the 2,192-mile journey in early February at Springer Mountain in Georgia. On Tuesday, he surpassed 900 miles on the trail.
He says this is something he's thought about for several years but the timing was right for 2019.
"It's going very well," said Perkins. "It's probably physically and mentally tougher than I expected but overall it's been fantastic."
So far, his hardest day on the trail was a cold, rainy one while hiking Dragon's Tooth not far from Roanoke.
"That was the first day that I thought that I could seriously get hurt out here," Perkins said. "But even then it was a good day, I enjoyed it."
Perkins plans on completing the trail in Maine sometime in July or August. He has no set timetable.
