Laser focus on reducing landfill waste: how new automated sorting technologies can boost high-quality glass recovery and cut costs for MSW operators - Remondis, Erfstadt, Germany.
While many countries have implemented glass recycling through separate waste collection, municipal solid waste (MSW) still contains a significant amount of valuable, recoverable glass. Moreover, MSW containing glass can lead to costly repairs of damaged pumps, broken pipes, clogs and other substantial problems during various treatment processes. By recovering glass prior to further handling, operators benefit from reduced operational costs and downtime associated with damages due to glass and other inert material. Landfill and waste incineration costs can also be drastically reduced. The crowning achievement of this technology also enables operators to increase profits by taking advantage of the high-quality, sellable glass recovered from the waste stream.
REMONDIS is a prime example how glass sorting helps improve efficiencies, both operationally and financially. REMONDIS has been a long-standing client and prior to this project had three TOMRA AUTOSORT units and one online analyzer in its processing plants. Always striving to optimize, REMONDIS approached TOMRA Sorting in 2015 with the wish to test this new application. At the time, household waste being processed contained between 3 – 3.5% glass, which lead to higher incineration costs. TOMRA Sorting welcomed the challenge to find a solution to separate glass fractions with maximum recovery quality.
Together, REMONDIS and TOMRA Sorting set out to achieve the following:
High recovery of glass (min. 80%)
Reduction of disposal costs
High quality of recovered glass (> 95%)
Glass recovered must be saleable
REMONDIS has extended their existing plant in Erfstadt, Germany to address this problem and introduced a new laser-based solution developed by TOMRA Sorting that separates up to 3,000 tonnes of glass per year through a two-step of optical sorting. To date, the comprehensive solution has reduced the residue fractions for landfill by 75% and cut incineration costs nearly in half. The new plant is currently in test mode, where additional optimizations are being made together with TOMRA technicians. REMONDIS expects the plant to be fully operational by the end of December 2017.
As MSW is pre-treated with bag opening and screening functionality, fractions are split by grain size with a double deck vibrating screen and then sorted into three categories: fine fractions 0-8 mm (e.g. organic, sand), middle fractions 8-60 mm and oversize fractions 60-100 mm (e.g. plastics, cans).
After the screening, the middle fraction containing the highest glass content passes through density separation. The heavy fractions consisting mainly of ceramics, stones, porcelain, glass, metals, and hard plastics are put through the AUTOSORT LASER unit. A combination of laser (LAS) and near-infrared (NIR) detection technologies enable the separation of glass from inert materials. Using a high-performance camera, the COMBISENSE CHUTE unit increases the quality of the glass fraction by separating further impurities. The entire process results in recoverable glass with an extremely high and constant purity of more than 95 percent. The superior quality of the recovered glass enables a stronger marketability and resale in the market.
With the robust and highly efficient TOMRA automatic sorting units, REMONDIS expects a return on investment after three years. Harry Amann, Site Manager for REMONDIS commented on the installation: "We are very proud of having the first AUTOSORT LASER installed in our plant in Erftstadt. High cost savings and great output quality simplified our plant process. Needless to say, we expect a quick ROI on this project." What's more, the reliability and regular maintenance offered by TOMRA Sorting ensures a smooth operation for years to come.

Football transfer rumours: João Felix to Manchester United for £100m?
by Simon Burnton 5 months ago
Today's fluff has got apple pie in the sky hopes
João Félix, the 19-year-old Benfica forward, is in the kind of form that was bound to attract somebody's notice. In each of his last three league appearances he has scored and assisted a goal, helping his team to 5-1, 4-2 – over Sporting, no less – and 10-0 wins. And according to the Sun he has been watched "on a number of occasions" by scouts representing Manchester United, who have bought some decent Portuguese teenagers in the past and feel ready to dip their toe into that market once again. United "are looking to launch a bid in the next transfer window" and Benfica "would be willing to sell the youngster", with the only thing standing in the way of an easy deal being the fact that As Águias value him at an eye-popping £100m. "The club went to see Félix in action and it was all positive," an Old Trafford source tells the Sun. "He is definitely someone who is increasingly of interest."

Manchester City meanwhile have "stepped up their pursuit of Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele", also according to the Sun, with City determined to outbid Manchester United and Juventus for the 22-year-old, who they see as the ideal replacement for Fernandinho. They are apparently preparing a £70m offer – a case of Tanguy and cash, perhaps.
The front page of today's Tuttosport carries the headline: "Dybala-Salah – it's serious", the paper suggesting that Juventus would be happy to give Liverpool €50m and Paulo Dybala in exchange for Mo Salah. The interesting and also slightly scary thing about this story, currently taking Italy by storm, is that it started right here in the Rumour Mill. On Monday Barry Glendenning reported a rumour he had picked up "on the outer reaches of cyberspace", a suggestion that Juventus had earmarked Salah as the £175m replacement for an underperforming Dybala. Fast forward a couple of days to Wednesday, and the tale had spread its tentacles across the Apennine Peninsula. "The news broke on Monday in the Guardian, and yesterday was picked up in the Middle East, where it was reported with great prominence," Tuttosport wrote. "Talk was of a monster offer of £175m – double the amount Juve spent to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, who competes with Leo Messi for the title of the world's No1. That is a figure that Juventus could obviously not pay in cash alone, which is why there is now talk of a player exchange." This, readers, is how fake (or at least wildly unreliable) news gets started.

This morning, however, Tuttosport double down on the story. They have done some investigating, tapped sources hopefully significantly more reliable than the Mill's, and declare: "Its serious". Meanwhile Corriere dello Sport report that Manchester City are ready to join the battle to sign Dybala, Ferran Soriano having been spotted in Rome when Juventus played Lazio last month. "At least at the moment Juventus do not appear willing to let him go," they report, "but you could probably tempt them with a large offer of €100-€120m."
Tuttosport are big on Anglo-Italian player-swap deals at the moment, also declaring that Douglas Costa is "the key" that could unlock Paul Pogba. United have already offered Juventus €60m for the Brazilian, and though Costa is officially off the market Juve might let him go if they can get Pogba in return. The Frenchman continues to agitate for a move: "He contacted Juventus and had planned his return even in January," Tuttosport say. United "no longer seem willing to get rid of the player" but that might not stop him trying: "Although he has regained his smile at United, apparently he has not changed his mind." Costa is also one of four players named by the Mirror among "United's four main summer targets", alongside Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly, Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic and Atlético Madrid's Lucas Hernández.

Accountancy Age has reported that former Diageo strategy director Jim Grover has joined KPMG as a senior adviser to its consumer markets team.
Grover had been a member of Diageo's Executive Committee since its formation in 1997, following the merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness. Prior to joining Grand Metropolitan in 1993 he spent twelve years in consulting, initially at Booz Allen and Hamilton and subsequently at OC&C Strategy Consultants, where he was a partner and spent most of his time advising consumer goods companies.


When you're just starting out as a driver in the trucking industry you won't be familiar with all the terms and what they mean. So if you've been wondering what the difference is between local, regional and OTR truck drivers, besides the obvious word differences, let's define the difference.
What Are Local Drivers And What Do They Do?
A local driver has a route that they follow each day delivering and picking up product or people within their city. Some examples could be UPS drivers, FedEx drivers, and school bus and public bus drivers. Your employer will own the vehicle you use to do your job.
If you like to have a set work schedule with the same hours every day and know pretty much what you're going to be doing the whole day, then a local driver job might be enjoyable for you. Depending on the employer and his/her needs, you may drive somewhere between 8 and 10 hours a day. You will probably do your own loading and unloading so you need to be in fairly good physical shape and able to lift about 50 pounds without any trouble.
Use safety equipment to properly load and unload your truck. If your deliveries are "drop-and-hook" stops, all you need to do is back your truck up to the appropriate spot and drop your load.
This type of job doesn't require you to lift or unload anything. Once your workday is complete, return your truck to your employer and then head home to be with the family for the night.
The pay for local drivers is different from that of regional and OTR drivers. Regional and OTR jobs are paid by the mile while local drivers often get paid by the hour.
How Do I Know If A Local Truck Driving Job Might Be For Me?
Whether you drive a light truck, delivery truck, or tractor-trailer, the best parts of being a local driver are the freedom of being on the road every day yet still being able to spend time with the family in the evening. Light truck and delivery truck jobs are more prevalent in the local driving jobs arena.
The type of truck you drive can impact your salary. In fact there's a rather big disparity. According to O*Net (2016) light truck drivers earn an average annual salary of $30,580 and tractor-trailer drivers earn an average annual salary of $41,340. That's a pretty big difference.
While the job outlook in local trucking can vary from job title to job title. Expected increase in job openings in the light truck driving business is 5% to 9%, and tractor-trailer job openings are expected to increase 7%.
What Are Regional Drivers And What Do They Do?
Regional truck drivers are men and women who enjoy spending time on the road and having their assigned routes. They don't mind being away from home every now and then but they still want to see the family on a pretty regular basis. You could say that regional trucking is the best of both the local driving job world and the Over-the-Road world.
Regional truck driving jobs take you to other states in your region, but you won't be on long hauls for weeks at a time. Usually, trips can last one week or less. Of course the length will depend on the weather and how many hours the drive takes. Federal restrictions limit drivers to no more than 11 hours of driving each day.
Depending on the type of regional truck driving job, you may drive all day as a solo driver or sometimes when a deadline has to be met you may drive with another driver. When you're the only one driving you have to complete each trip on your own, sleeping in your truck's berth for a solid seven hours per Federal regulations.
If you're part of a team, you switch out with the other driver and don't have to stop to sleep because the other team member is driving. On a team, you can cover more miles in less time. Sometimes team jobs pay less per mile, but since you get paid for all trip miles, you can earn more money.
How Do I Know If A Regional Truck Driving Job Might Be For Me?
As far as getting time off, policies will be different for different carriers but most guarantee a certain amount time off. If you have a trip and are gone just a couple days, you may get one or two days off. However, if you're gone for a full week you'll probably get multiple days off before you leave again.
Like a local job, regional jobs often have dedicated routes so you can get to know your customers as you see them each week. It also adds some stability to your route and schedule.
What Does An OTR Truck Driver Do?
OTR stands for Over The Road and these are the truck drivers that transport products across all 50 states and sometimes even into Canada and Mexico. Just like the local and regional driver, OTR drivers are essential to keep America running smoothly. Often the schedule calls for weeks away from home to deliver goods that could be hundreds of miles away.
What Are Some Of the Job Duties?
OTR truck drivers maintain mileage logs, comply with local and federal trucking and traffic laws and regulations, and they're also responsible for maintaining the safety and performance of their rigs. Over the road truckers often have irregular hours but they cannot drive more than 11 hours a day just like any other type of truck driver.
Truck driving schools usually require applicants to have a high school diploma or GED. In addition to your CDL you must also have a clean driving record with no previous DUI convictions. Also you need to be able to pass a physical since this type of work has physical demands.
Is An Over The Road Job Right For Me?
Throughout the country, the outlook for OTR trucking jobs is definitely positive. Demand for these jobs is estimated to increase 11% by 2022. Opportunities definitely exist across the country for this type of job and you can get a job in any state if you move. Just update your CDL and you're ready to start your job search.
The salary for OTR truck driver jobs in the U.S. is $41,340 but this can increase or decrease depending on the state, the company for which you work, and the type of driving you perform. Larger employers tend to pay higher salaries to experienced drivers and they provide better benefits when compared to smaller companies.
If you are single or don't mind being away from home for extended periods of time, you could really love seeing the country while driving from coast to coast.
Now that you know a little more about each type of trucking job – local, regional, and OTR – you should have a better feel for which one will meet the wants and needs for you, your family and career.


.Try to make unhappy customers happy. Transforming a negative impression into a happy one will demonstrate your concern for your customers. If this is possible to do online, the rewards are even greater. That will show everyone that you provide great customer service.
Search phrases that relate to your business should be used on your web pages. Usually, the business name is the term. Search engines like authoritativeness. When they notice that you're an authority, you're going to do a lot better when search engine results are tallied.
Watch social networks. According to Arnold Worldwide, most customers believe that businesses should respond to all of the postings on their social media accounts. Be sure you offer prompt responses for that reason. Because many other businesses are not quite that vigilant, your response time will help you to stand out.
Keep up with news updates relating to your service or product. This helps ensure you can supply your customers with the latest innovations and information. Spend 5 or 10 minutes each day searching online for the newest info on the industry you're in.
Look at your presence on the Internet. You can never tell when your company may receive a negative search engine result from an unhappy customer or somebody that just does not like you or your business. Checking online search results helps you knock it down from the top of the page. Do this once or twice a month at a minimum.
If you have employees, treat them well. If this principle is disregarded, the fallout can be severe. People will avoid doing business with you if you are a bad employer.
Private sales and promotions need to stay exactly that: private. This is to avoid complaints, which can affect reputation. One thing to avoid is posting the things you're doing to remedy a customer complaint and then receive more complaints because people want free things.
Where are your customers? For instance, if you know that a good amount of your customers visit a local restaurant on a regular basis, go there yourself. By getting to where the customers are going, you're going to learn more about them so you can give them better service. A lot of people are more at ease in a social environment, which helps them be more open to you.
When you read something negative about your company, it is easy to become angry at the poster, especially if the poster is not telling the entire truth. But, it is far better to gather yourself and respond honestly with facts that tend to vindicate your position. When readers see the whole argument, they can judge for themselves.
If your company is at fault in a dispute, own up to it. Customers will realize. Rather, admit where the company went wrong, and make amends. Customers are usually very forgiving, especially if you're willing to compensate for your error.
Begin volunteering around your community. This is one way to improve your company's reputation. It's truly positive to consumers to see your company doing good things. A good impression such as this will allow your business to succeed in the long run.
You must know in what places your company is being discussed, and these places have to be monitored. Stay on those sites and watch what's being said. Respond to negative comments calmly and professionally.
As it was stated in the introduction, if your business means the world to you, you need to make it mean the world to your clientele. This is where your reputation comes in. Use what you've just learned to keep your reputation pristine and your customer base intact.

Kenanga Wholesale City, the k-POP Mall?
Recently, I realized that Kenanga Wholesale City (it's a rather new mall) is becoming a hotspot for Korean artists to have their showcases. ZE:A is coming. Lee Seung Gi was there last week. I'm no k-Pop fan so I don't know who's ZE:A and Lee Seung Gi honestly. But guess who's next. SUPER JUNIOR M is going to Kenanga Wholesale City to have their showcase.
Whut. Together with Super Junior M, EXO-M and BTOB (I only know Super Junior M LOL), they are having the "2012 Asia Super Showcase" in Kenanga Wholesale City.
._________. I've been to Kenanga Wholesale City and it's a boring place. I don't like the structure of the place, plus it's only filled with clothes, clothes and more clothes..and not like it's cheap :1. I think it tried to copy Bangkok's shopping concept to sell clothes in wholesale prices and bulk and things like that but wasn't really successful. So, I thought KWC is a shopping centre, not a showcase area right? What's with these Koreans having their showcases there?!

Visa and Khazana Enterprise Sign MoU to Drive Digital Payment Adoption in Pakistan's Government Sector
The strategic partnership brings together Visa's network of networks strategy and Khazana Enterprise's technological innovation to help empower digitization of services and government-related payment services, including development and implementation of e-government super application for citizens and businesses in Pakistan.

The FTC has issued its final regulation governing required notices in prescreened offers for credit or insurance, the agency announced on January 24, 2005.
The final rule, which will be published in the Federal Register shortly, closely tracks the proposed rule. Under the rule, notices must inform consumers about their right to opt out of future prescreened offers. The rule mandates a "layered" notice -- a short portion on the first page of the solicitation and a longer portion containing further information.
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 requires the FTC to prescribe prescreen notices that are "simple and easy to understand," and establish a format, type size, and manner for the presentation of opt-out notices. In its final rule, the FTC keeps the "layered" approach presented in its proposed rule, requiring that each offer contain a short statement informing consumers of their right to opt out and listing a toll-free number to call, as well as a longer statement providing additional information about prescreening. The short portion of the notice should appear on the document designed to be seen first by the consumer, such as the cover letter. The final rule also establishes other baseline requirements for the format, type size, and manner of the notices. The rule presents "model" notices in English and Spanish.
Significance: All marketers of prescreened offers for credit or insurance must abide by the final FTC rule regarding notice. Copies of the FTC's final rule are available from the FTC's Web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580.


In the past few months, a number of popular audio companies have thrown their hat into the smart speaker arena supporting either Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or both. Now Phorus has also joined that group with the PS10. The new Phorus PS10 is the "first tabletop Hi Res stereo speaker system with Alexa Voice Services fully integrated", it also supports DTS' Play-Fi multi-room ecosystem, so those that actually use Play-Fi will be more than happy with this new speaker from Phorus, and it'll cost $249, just a tad bit more than the Sonos One that launched this week.
The Phorus PS10 is not a portable speaker with Alexa, most speakers are launching as a simple speaker that needs to stay plugged in. The biggest reason for this is the fact that Alexa is always listening, and thus uses more battery life than a normal portable speaker would. But this doesn't keep portable speakers from having Alexa - as is the case with the Ultimate Ears BLAST and MEGABLAST speakers that were just announced. But with Phorus PS10's high-resolution audio, it would need a fairly large battery to get things done. Inside the Phorus PS10, there are two neodymium 65mm transducers, two 4-inch bass radiators, along with 30W Dual Class D digital amplifiers. The Phorus PS10 does allow for streaming over WiFi, but you can also plug in a 3.5mm cable and stream wired as well, if that is your preferred method.
With the Phorus PS10 being a third-party Alexa speaker, it won't get all of the same music streaming services as something like the Amazon Echo or Amazon Tap which are first-party Alexa speakers. This is because Amazon reserves the majority of music services for its own hardware. But the majority of the popular music streaming services will be available for the Phorus PS10 to stream. This includes Spotify, Google Play Music, Amazon Music Unlimited and a few others. Now if you are a Play-Fi user, you'll have a few other options as well for streaming to this speaker. The Phorus PS10 is available for purchase from Phorus' website right now, it'll cost you $249.

Abu Dhabi Blue Carbon project
Lisa Schile, J. Boone Kauffman, J. Patrick Megonigal, James Fourqurean & Stephen Crooks
Coastal ecosystems produce and sequester significant amounts of carbon ('blue carbon'), which has been well documented in humid and semi-humid regions of temperate and tropical climates but less so in arid regions where mangroves, marshes, and seagrasses exist near the limit of their tolerance for extreme temperature and salinity. To better understand these unique systems, we measured whole-ecosystem carbon stocks (above- and belowground biomass and soil) in 58 sites across the United Arab Emirates in...

Data from: Genomic, ecological, and morphological approaches to investigating species limits: a case study in modern taxonomy from Tropical Eastern Pacific surgeonfishes
William B. Ludt, Moises A. Bernal, Erica Kenworthy, Eva Salas & Prosanta Chakrabarty
A wide variety of species are distinguished by slight color variations. However, molecular analyses have repeatedly demonstrated that coloration does not always correspond to distinct evolutionary histories between closely related groups, suggesting that this trait is labile and can be misleading for species identification. In the present study, we analyze the evolutionary history of sister species of Prionurus surgeonfishes in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP), which are distinguished by the presence or absence of dark...

Premise of the study: Hybrid capture with high-throughput sequencing (Hyb-Seq) is a powerful tool for evolutionary studies. The applicability of an Asteraceae family-specific Hyb-Seq method and the outcomes of different phylogenetic analyses are assessed. Methods: Hyb-Seq data from 112 Asteraceae samples were organized into groups at different taxonomic levels (tribe, genus, and species). For each group, datasets of non-paralogous loci were built and proportions of parsimony informative characters estimated. The impacts of the analyzing alternative...

Supplementary information for integrating sequence capture and restriction-site associated DNA sequencing to resolve recent radiations of Pelagic seabirds
Joan Ferrer-Obiol, Helen F. James, R. Terry Chesser, Vincent Bretagnolle, Jacob González-Solís, Julio Rozas, Marta Riutort & Andreanna J. Welch
The diversification of modern birds has been shaped by a number of radiations. Rapid diversification events make reconstructing the evolutionary relationships among taxa challenging due to the convoluted effects of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and introgression. Phylogenomic datasets have the potential to detect patterns of phylogenetic incongruence, and to address their causes. However, the footprints of ILS and introgression on sequence data can vary between different phylogenomic markers at different phylogenetic scales depending on factors...

The filtered VCF file containing SNPs detected from the Vitis bryoniifolia clade using RAD-seq.
Zhi-Yao Ma, Jun Wen, Jing-Pu Tian, Liu-Liu Gui & Xiu-Qun Liu
The grape genus (Vitis L.) is of great agronomic importance and represents an economically valuable resource. Researchers have explored the phylogenetic relationships of subgenus Vitis for decades. However, the evolutionary patterns of many morphological characters of subgenus Vitis have not yet been explored in the context of a robust phylogenetic framework. Within the East Asian clade, V. bryoniifolia and its closely related taxa form the V. bryoniifolia clade, which is taxonomically complex. The phylogenetic relationships...

Data from: Modifications during early plant development promote the evolution of nature's most complex woods
Joyce G. Chery, Marcelo R. Pace, Pedro Acevedo-Rodriguez, Chelsea D. Specht & Carl J. Rothfels
Secondary growth is the developmental process by which woody plants grow radially. The most complex presentations of secondary growth are found in lianas (woody vines) as a result of their unique demand to maintain stems that can twist without breaking. The complex woody forms in lianas arise as non-circular stem outlines, aberrant tissue configurations, and/or shifts in the relative abundance of secondary tissues. Previous studies demonstrate that abnormal activity of the vascular cambium leads to...

Phenotypic matches between plants and their pollinators often are interpreted as examples of reciprocal selection and adaptation. For the two co-occurring plant species, Heliconia bihai and H. caribaea in the Eastern Caribbean, we evaluated for five populations over two years the strength and direction of natural selection on corolla length and number of bracts per inflorescence. These plant traits correspond closely to the bill lengths and body masses of their primary pollinators, female or male...

Data from: Measuring rates of phenotypic evolution and the inseparability of tempo and mode
Gene Hunt
Rates of phenotypic evolution are central to many issues in paleontology, but traditional rate metrics such as darwins or haldanes are seldom used because of their strong dependence on interval length. In this paper, I argue that rates are usefully thought of as model parameters that relate magnitudes of evolutionary divergence to elapsed time. Starting with models of directional evolution, random walks, and stasis, I derive for each a reasonable rate metric. These metrics can...

Data from: Does soil moisture availability explain liana seedling distribution across a tropical rainfall gradient?
Eric Manzané-Pinzön, Guillermo Goldstein & Stefan A. Schnitzer
Liana density tends to increase with decreasing rainfall and increasing seasonality. However, the pattern of liana distribution may be due to differences in soil water retention capacity, not rainfall and seasonality per se. We tested the effect of rainfall and soil substrate with respect to the distribution of liana seedlings in six sites across a rainfall gradient from the wet Atlantic to the dry Pacific in central Panama. Soils were either limestone, with low water-holding...

Ecotypic variation among populations may become associated with widespread genomic differentiation, but theory predicts that this should happen only under particular conditions of gene flow, selection and population size. In closely related species, we might expect the strength of host-associated genomic differentiation (HAD) to be correlated with the degree of phenotypic differentiation in host-adaptive traits. Using microsatellite and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers, and controlling for isolation by distance between populations, we sought HAD...

Data from: Phylogeny suggests non-directional and isometric evolution of sexual size dimorphism in argiopine spiders
Ren-Chung Cheng & Matjaž Kuntner
Sexual dimorphism describes substantial differences between male and female phenotypes. In spiders, sexual dimorphism research almost exclusively focuses on size, and recent studies have recovered steady evolutionary size increases in females, and independent evolutionary size changes in males. Their discordance is due to negative allometric size patterns caused by different selection pressures on male and female size (converse Rensch's rule). Here, we investigated macroevolutionary patterns of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in Argiopinae, a global lineage...

In theory, conservation genetics predicts that forest fragmentation will reduce gene dispersal, but in practice, genetic and ecological processes are also dependent on other population characteristics. We used Bayesian genetic analyses to characterize parentage and propagule dispersal in Heliconia acuminata L. C. Richard (Heliconiaceae), a common Amazonian understory plant that is pollinated and dispersed by birds. We studied these processes in two continuous forest sites and three 1-ha fragments in Brazil's Biological Dynamics of Forest...

A long-term goal in evolutionary ecology is to explain the incredible diversity of insect herbivores and patterns of plant host use in speciose groups like tropical Lepidoptera. Here we used standardised food-web data, multigene phylogenies of both trophic levels and plant chemistry data to model interactions between Lepidoptera larvae (caterpillars) from two lineages (Geometridae and Pyraloidea) and plants in species-rich lowland rainforest in New Guinea. Model parameters were used to make and test blind predictions...

Non-equilibrium dynamics and non-neutral processes, such as trait-dependent dispersal, are often missing from quantitative island biogeography models despite their potential explanatory value. One of the most influential non-equilibrium models is the taxon cycle, but it has been difficult to test its validity as a general biogeographical framework. Here, we test predictions of the taxon-cycle model using six expected phylogenetic patterns and a time-calibrated phylogeny of Indo-Pacific Odontomachus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ponerinae), one of the ant genera...

Data from: Loss of migratory behavior increases infection risk for a butterfly host
Dara A. Satterfield, John C. Maerz & Sonia Altizer
Long-distance animal migrations have important consequences for infectious disease dynamics. In some cases, migration lowers pathogen transmission by removing infected individuals during strenuous journeys and allowing animals to periodically escape contaminated habitats. Human activities are now causing some migratory animals to travel shorter distances or form sedentary (non-migratory) populations. We focused on North American monarch butterflies and a specialist protozoan parasite to investigate how the loss of migratory behaviours affects pathogen spread and evolution. Each...

Vitaceae is well-known for having one of the most economically important fruits, i.e., the grape (Vitis vinifera). The deep phylogeny of the grape family was not resolved until a recent phylogenomic analysis of 417 nuclear genes from transcriptome data. However, it has been reported extensively that topologies based on nuclear and organellar genes may be incongruent due to differences in their evolutionary histories. Therefore, it is important to reconstruct a backbone phylogeny of the grape...

An important goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic changes underlying novel morphological structures. We investigated the origins of a complex wing pattern found among Amazonian Heliconius butterflies. Genome sequence data from 142 individuals across 17 species identified narrow regions associated with two distinct red colour pattern elements, dennis and ray. We hypothesise that these modules in non-coding sequence represent distinct cis-regulatory loci that control expression of the transcription factor optix, which in...

David Ben Stern, Jesse Breinholt, Carlos Pedraza-Lara, Marilú López-Mejía, Christopher L. Owen, Heather Bracken-Grissom, , Keith A. Crandall & James W. Fetzner
Caves are perceived as isolated, extreme habitats with a set of uniquely specialized biota, which long ago led to the idea that caves are 'evolutionary dead-ends.' This suggests that cave-adapted taxa may be doomed for extinction before they can diversify or transition to a more stable state. However, this hypothesis has not been explicitly tested in a phylogenetic framework with multiple independent cave-dwelling groups. Here we use the freshwater crayfish, a group with dozens of...

Organismal traits interact with environmental variation to mediate how species respond to shared landscapes. Thus, differences in traits related to dispersal ability or physiological tolerance may result in phylogeographic discordance among co-distributed taxa, even when they are responding to common barriers. We quantified climatic suitability and stability, and phylogeographic divergence within three reed frog species complexes across the Guineo-Congolian forests and Gulf of Guinea archipelago of Central Africa to investigate how they responded to a...

Our understanding of phylogenetic relationships among bony fishes has been transformed by analysis of a small number of genes, but uncertainty remains around critical nodes.

The repeated, independent evolution of traits (convergent evolution) is often attributed to shared environmental selection pressures. However, developmental dependencies among traits can limit the phenotypic variation available to selection and bias evolutionary outcomes.

The middle ear's lability could reflect evolutionary trade-offs with other skull features under...

The stinging wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) are an extremely diverse lineage of hymenopteran insects, encompassing over 70,000 described species and a diversity of life history traits, including ectoparasitism, cleptoparasitism, predation, pollen feeding (bees [Anthophila] and Masarinae) and eusociality (social vespid wasps, ants, and some bees) [1]. The most well-studied lineages of Aculeata are the ants, which are ecologically dominant in most terrestrial ecosystems [2], and the bees, the most important lineage of angiosperm-pollinating insects [3].

Pelosi Attacks Facebook As 'Willing Enabler' For Refusing to Take Down Video Making Fun Of Her
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attacked Facebook on Wednesday as "willing enablers" of Russian interference because they've refused to take down a parody video making fun of her by slowing down her speech to make her sound drunk.
The media and Democratic Party for a week now have led a campaign to demand Facebook and Twitter censor two videos — which they call "doctored" — making fun of Pelosi.
Last Thursday, Trump shared a video to Twitter from Fox News which used jump cuts to highlight Nancy Pelosi's stammering (which she does constantly):
"PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE" pic.twitter.com/1OyCyqRTuk
Rudy Giuliani, who is not part of Trump's campaign, also linked to a comedy video on Facebook which slowed down Pelosi's speech so she sounded drunk (this is a joke which has been done millions of times):
From The Washington Post, "Pelosi says altered videos show Facebook leaders were 'willing enablers' of Russian election interference":
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that Facebook's refusal to take down an altered video of her shows that the company's leaders were active contributors to online disinformation and "willing enablers" of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Pelosi's comments to KQED News, her first public response to the video since The Washington Post first reported its spread online last week, revealed a dramatic escalation of tensions between the Democratic leader and the world's most popular social network.
"We have said all along, 'Poor Facebook, they were unwittingly exploited by the Russians.' I think wittingly, because right now they are putting up something that they know is false. I think it's wrong," she said, according to a transcript of the conversation provided by Pelosi's office. "They're lying to the public. … I think they have proven — by not taking down something they know is false — that they were willing enablers of the Russian interference in our election."
"For me, I'm in the arena, I've been the target all along," Pelosi added. But "I wonder what they would do if [Facebook chief executive] Mark Zuckerberg wasn't portrayed, you know, slowed down, made to look" drunk, she said. If it was "one of their own, would this be — is this their policy? Or is it just a woman?"
Note, Pelosi says of Facebook that "they are putting up something that they know is false," even thought this was put up by one of their 2+ billion users.
To say Facebook put the video up is a lie. After lying about Facebook putting the video up themselves, she then says, "They're lying to the public" by allowing video mocking her to remain on their site.
She then effectively threatens them with regulations by accusing them of being "willing enablers of the Russian interference" and suggests Mark Zuckerberg is so insane that he would ban everyone who makes fun of him from Facebook if he was in her position, even though he's one of the most widely mocked people on the planet and doesn't censor everyone who makes fun of him.
There are entire communities dedicated to making fun of him with memes portraying him as an alien and as I far as I know, he's never banned any of them.
The media and the Democrats genuinely want all criticism/mocking of Democrats to be banned from the internet. That's what this amounts to.
A month or so ago, it was "we must censor far-right conspiracy theorists," now it's "we must censor Fox News and the President of the United States for using jump cuts to highlight Nancy Pelosi's stammering" and "we must censor random Facebook users for making fun of Pelosi by slowing down her voice to make her sound drunk."
This is so bats**t crazy it's hard to even comprehend.
While one could imagine the masses going somewhat along with Big Tech banning "far right" dissidents for their "dangerous" political views, I can't imagine any normal person thinking all criticism/mocking of Democrats being banned is A-OK.
Our prog-globalist overlords are losing their minds.
Whereas in the past we had diabolical geniuses like George Soros manipulating our politics from the shadows (he still is) with a clear agenda and plan, now we have a bunch of whiny leftist journos and left-wing political hacks waging a crusade to ban absolutely everyone who disagrees with the latest iteration of prog-globalist orthodoxy.

Amazon's Mobile Supply Drive Ultimately Rests On Demand
by Kelly Liyakasa // Wednesday, July 9th, 2014 – 7:00 am
Amazon's not lifting its foot off the gas pedal in the drive for more developer ad dollars.
After revealing the Fire Phone only weeks ago, the ecommerce company tried to incent new app creation via a two-month promotion offering $6 CPMs on the Amazon Mobile Ad Network. The company is also making a European push, expanding support for Amazon Mobile Ad Network to Germany and France.
But despite these developer perks, some industry experts wonder if demand will match Amazon's supply.
"Amazon's CPM guarantee to mobile developers is [positive] but it needs to be followed up with a long-term strategy that continues to reward developers for their efforts and tied in to a strong user adoption pitch as well," said Scott Hirsch, CEO of app development platform Appsbar. "They can temporarily buy market share from the pool of app developers and it's not a bad idea, but ultimately it goes back to supply and demand."
Amazon's CPM pitch is a step in the right direction to entice iOS and Google Play developers, he pointed out, but there needs to be a wide enough user base across Kindle devices and Fire Phones to retain them.
"I really hope Amazon recognizes there is a big opportunity for innovation and disruption in the mobile developer business model," said Dave Cotter, cofounder and CEO of iOS and Android app SquareHub, and a former GM at Amazon. "If Amazon starts demonstrating a broad footprint and more importantly, sees developers have success at scale with these ad units, then I think they're certainly in the game."
Amazon's promotion only applies to new apps, which essentially apply to ads that run as full-screen interstitial formats alongside "in-app" actions such as a swipe at a natural transition at a new game level. Developers will determine the success of Amazon's offer based on whether it boosts their app discoverability and drives downloads and revenues to offset development costs.
Cotter remains hopeful.
"They have a much different perspective on their app store than iOS or Google Play," he said. "The idea of helping developers drive people to their products through more traditional marketing [metrics such as] CPMs and CPAs is actually pretty novel and fresh. It's an area where Amazon, because of their retail footprint and their number of customers, can easily siphon from their retail sites into their app store, if they decide to do that."
Collectively between the iOS and Google Play app stores, there are more than 2 million applications compared to Amazon's 240,000. While iOS and Google Play rely on mobile engagement metrics such as number of downloads, repeat sessions and upgrades, Amazon's ecommerce data could feasibly add a rich layer of product, purchase or in-app payment insights.
What Cotter and other developers are looking for now is greater scale across the board.
"Will those successes multiply into hundreds of thousands of developers reaping benefits [with a] self-service kind of program that runs on its own so they can scale and develop?" he said. "That's what I think we're still waiting to see and the necessary piece was really the Fire Phone because it will attract a whole new set of developers beyond just Kindle Fire developers."

Are Modern Driving Assistance Features Unreliable? AAA Researchers Say Yes
The American Automobile Association (AAA) is recommending automakers limit the use of advanced driving aids after concluding they're not really up to the challenge of providing reliable safety.
Over the past two years, AAA has focused on testing crash prevention systems to see if they're all manufacturers claim — deciding that while many are useful in some instances, they're far too inconsistent to be considered reliable safety nets. Like us, the group worries that making these features commonplace has created a false sense of security among drivers. While one might assume advanced driving aids have to be halfway decent to be put into vehicles, AAA's pedestrian detection test from 2019 showed they're anything but consistent.
On Thursday, America's favorite motor club returned to report on its latest findings on five systems currently offered by the industry. For the test, AAA selected a 2019 BMW X7 with Active Driving Assistant Professional, 2019 Cadillac CT6 with Super Cruise, 2019 Ford Edge with Co-Pilot360, 2020 Kia Telluride with Highway Driving Assist, and a 2020 Subaru Outback with EyeSight. The group was sent to numerous testing sites in California, Utah, and Nevada, and given a 4,000-mile shakedown on public roads — where the outfit found the systems averaged a misstep or disengagement roughly every 8 miles.

Lane Departure Warnings, Blind Spot Alerts (Probably) Reducing Crashes: Study
Lane departure alerts and blind spot monitoring systems can significantly reduce crashes if consumers use the features, according to two recent studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. While this information falls into the no-brainer category, rarely do we get specific metrics on these particular technologies.
"This is the first evidence that lane departure warning is working to prevent crashes of passenger vehicles on U.S. roads," explained Jessica Cicchino, IIHS vice president for research. "Given the large number of fatal crashes that involve unintentional lane departures, technology aimed at preventing them has the potential to save a lot of lives."
Jeff S A June 22, 2020 article by Steph Willems on this website titled Foresome American Shuns Non-Crewcabs Like Never Before. To paraphrase as follows:"In the eventful 2020 model year, it seems the buying public has never had less use for once-common body styles. It's four doors, or get lost.According to data posted by JATO Dynamics, the 2020 model year — thus far — has seen the take rate of regular and extended cab trucks sink to new lows. In the U.S., crew cab pickups made up 83.1 percent of 2020MY pickups sold through May of this year. That's up from 77.8 percent for the 2019 model year, and a significant jump from the 69 percent seen back in the hazy, long-forgotten year of 2016.""In Canada, a full 88.9 percent of 2020 pickup rolling stock has been crew cab in nature, once again showing that, despite their tireless environmental smugness, Canadians like their trucks a lot. Last year's take was just 80.5 percent, and 2016 shows crew cabs eating up 79 percent of the market. A big gain for 2020, clearly." 'For the current model year, regular cab pickups made up only 3 percent of the U.S. mix, down from 6.6 percent in 2016. Extended cabs account for 14 percent of sales in the U.S., down from 18.7 percent in 2019 and 24.4 percent in 2016.''In Canada, extended cabs make up 9.6 percent of the market, meaning that true two-door, backseat-lacking models account for just 1.5 percent of all pickup sales. That's half that of the United States.'Vulpine I found this article and even though I agree with you this article gives a compelling reason why manufacturers are not offer regular and extended cabs. Manufacturers have been simplifying and cutting costs offer less variations in body styles, colors, and limiting more options to higher trim packages.

Home » News » Should the BBC be Prosecuted for Hacking Offences?
I occasionally watch a TV show on the BBC by the name of 'Click'. This series looks at the latest technology news and also does some investigations into the darker side of the internet. I was watching the most recent episode in which the host and his guest bought a botnet consisting of over 20,000 'bots'. These bots are compromised computers from around the world that act as part of a remote-control network.
Theses two individuals first set up several dummy email accounts, including Windows Live and Gmail accounts, and used the botnet to send spam to these email addresses.
Next they set up a web server and used the botnet to launch a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack on that server.
Finally they changed the background wallpaper of each of the infected computers to a message stating that they were infected. They then removed the bots from these computers.
I pay a TV license fee, most of which goes to the BBC. The fact that the BBC use this to buy a botnet from an unknown man disgusts me. My license fee money has been spent in funding cyber-terrorism and who knows what else.
According to the Computer Misuse Act 1990 the BBC have gained unauthorised access to each of these computers. This is a criminal offence in this country.
Not only have the BBC gained unauthorised access to these computers but they have gone on to use these computers to send spam. Although the email addresses were set up by the BBC the accounts were hosted by major service providers. I'm sure that Google and Microsoft wouldn't be impressed by that, and neither would the users of the compromised computers.
I do not know the exact locations of these bots so this can only be considered conjecture, but if these bots are located in other countries the BBC have likely broken their laws too.
By altering data on the compromised computers, regardless of their intentions, they are treading on dodgy ground. This could be interpreted as a worse offence than that mentioned in point 2 dependant on their perceived intent.
No investigation or notice of intended prosecution has been announced and no apology given by the BBC. Can someone please explain to me why?
Maybe the BBC did not actually do anything and they faked it all.
It would not have been that difficult.
If they did do what they showed they should be fined the licecne fee and prosecuted its a complete joke.
Either they faked it which is absolutely against the BBC charter and they should be fined by Ofcom, or it's real and they broke the law. I agree with Lee, this kind of program is interesting and doing an experiment with a bunch of machines in lab would be fine but to spend our license fee on an actual botnet with real compromised machines in the wild is outrageous. Plus, like you say, who know what that money has gone towards. At best, some rich mastercriminal has bought another mansion in Spain, at worst it could be funding terrorism.
