In-situ caged wood frog (Rana sylvatica) survival and development in wetlands formed from oil sands process-affected materials (OSPM)
Hersikorn_MSc2009.pdf (869.1Kb)
Hersikorn, Blair Donald
Currently there are three companies producing bitumen from the Athabasca Oil Sands Region located near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. Extraction of bitumen produces solid (sand) and liquid (water with suspended fine particles) tailings material, called oil sands process affected-materials (OSPM). These waste materials are stored on site due to a "zero discharge" policy and must be reclaimed when operations end. The OSPM is known to contain naphthenic acids (NAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and has high pH and salinity. A possible method of reclamation is the "wet landscape" approach, which involves using OSPM to form wetlands that would mimic natural wetland ecological functioning. This study investigated the effects of wetlands formed with OSPM on wood frog larvae (Rana sylvatica), using endpoints including survival, growth, time to metamorphosis, hormonal status, and detoxification enzyme induction [ethoxyresorufin-o-dealkylase (EROD) activity]. In-situ caging studies were completed in 2006 and 2007. Four wetlands were studied in 2006 and 14 wetlands were studied in 2007. The 2006 season saw a host of problems that were resolved for the 2007 season. In 2006, tadpole survival did not differ among reference wetlands and old OSPM-affected wetlands but there was 100% mortality of tadpoles in the young OSPM-affected sites that contain the highest concentration of toxic components. Results were similar in 2007, with tadpoles raised in young OSPM-affected wetlands having 41.5%, 62.6%, and 54.7% higher tadpole mortality than old OSPM-affected, young reference, and old reference wetlands, respectively. In 2007, tadpoles from young OSPM-affected sites had delayed metamorphosis (12 days longer than tadpoles from old reference wetlands and 18 days longer than tadpoles in old OSPM-affected wetlands). The thyroid hormone ratios of tadpoles in young OSPM-affected wetlands were between 25% and 42% lower than tadpoles in all other wetlands groups. The EROD activity of tadpoles in young OSPM-affected wetlands was an average 223% higher than those in old OSPM-affected wetlands, showing us that tadpoles were responding to higher levels of contaminants in young OSPM-affected wetlands. Size differences were only noted in 2007, most likely not as a result of exposure to OSPM, but due to differences in population density. The results of this study lead us to believe that toxicity due to OSPM decreases as wetlands get older and OSPM-affected wetlands could support native amphibian populations if they are allowed to mature. Since we considered wetlands to be old if they were seven years or older and the fact that old-OSPM wetlands showed effects on tadpoles similar to those of reference wetlands and showed much less toxicity than young OSPM-affected wetlands, we believe wetlands that are at least seven years old would sustain amphibian life.

Q: Transfinitely iterated limit computability Call a real $x$ limit computable iff there is a Turing machine $T$ such that, for any $i\in\omega$, there is $t(i)\in\omega$ such that the $i$th entry on the tape is not changed after time $t(i)$ and is from that time on equal to $1$ if $i\in x$ and otherwise equal to $0$. Intuitively, this means that the output of $T$ converges to $x$, though not at any effective rate.
Let us now consider transfinite iterations of this process: Define the Turing calcuation of a machine $T$ along an ordinal time axis by letting $T$ work classically at successor stages and
at limit steps $\lambda$, let the tape content $B_{i\lambda}$ of cell $i$ be the eventually constant value of $(B_{i\alpha}|\alpha<\lambda)$ if that sequence is eventually constant. If it isn't for some $i\in\omega$, the calculation is undefined. The machine state and the head position at time $\lambda$ are taken to be the limes inferiors of the earlier states/head positions.
These calculations are similar to infinite time Turing machine calculations with arbitrary time and tape length $\omega$, but probably much weaker, as the 'eventually constant' rule for the tape content is much more restrictive than the liminf-rule of $ITTM$s.
My question is: Has this computability concept been studied? If yes, I would be thankful for references. If no, are there obvious reasons why not? (E.g. it is trivial, or obviously equivalent to well-studied notion XY...)

A: Yes, this notion has been studied. It is considerably weaker than the model of infinite time Turing machines. To see this, observe that your machines can never do anything after time $\omega^2$, because whatever local configuration the machine is in at time $\omega^2$ must have arisen many times earlier, and so whatever bit it would change then it must have changed earlier, which would have caused it to crash at $\omega^2$.
Meanwhile, if you are careful in arranging your computation, you can compute all arithmetic assertions in time uniformly less than $\omega^2$.

On May 30, 2018, Jan Snell Houston, friends and family joined together to participate in the first Adopt a Road for Harris Houston Memorial Clean up. Wisteria Drive was selected by his mother Jan because her Daddy, Hugh, grew up at his parents, Gladstone and Clemmie Snell, family home place facing 78 and backing up to the cemetery and what became Wisteria Drive.
Later Hugh and his wife Doris raised their family on the property on Wisteria facing the cemetery and going down to Hwy 78. Wisteria Drive was home to several of her family members, including William and Bobbie Buchanan. The Snellville Historical Cemetery is where Harris and many of Jan's family are buried.
The next clean-up day will be August 26 at 4:00, after which Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful will designate Wisteria Drive as the Harris Houston Memorial Adopt a Road Project. To participate or learn more about this project check out the Facebook page Adopt a Road for Harris Houston or gwinnettcb@gwinnettcb.org.

Peter Richard Woolcott  (born 19 October 1953) is an Australian public servant, diplomat and the current Australian Public Service Commissioner. He was previously the Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Woolcott has served as the Australia's High Commissioner to New Zealand, the Australian Ambassador for the Environment, the Australian Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, the Australian Ambassador to Italy, the Deputy Head of Mission in Jakarta, and the Consul-General in Honolulu.

Background and early life
Woolcott was born in West Berlin in 1953, the son of Richard Woolcott, a former Australian diplomat public servant. He spent October 1953 to May 1954 in Moscow, while his father was Third Secretary at the Australian Embassy in the city.

Peter Woolcott graduated with a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts from the Australian National University and a Master of Arts degree from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.

Career
After practising as a barrister in Sydney for a number of years, Woolcott joined the Department of Foreign Affairs in 1981. He served in Australian diplomatic missions in Jamaica (1981–83), Argentina (1987–88), the Philippines as deputy head of mission (1994–97), consul-general in Honolulu and representative to United States Pacific Command (1998–2001), deputy head of mission in Jakarta (2001–2002), chief of staff to the minister for foreign affairs (2002–04), and Australian ambassador to Italy (2004–07).

In October 2008, Woolcott was one of several senior officials involved in Australia-US political-military talks. At the talks, Woolcott praised China's diplomatic efforts in south-east Asia, but said there were significant problems in the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Burma.

Woolcott also sat on the Executive Board of the World Food Programme (2004–07). Between 2007 and 2009 he was first assistant secretary of the South East Asia division in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Woolcott was appointed as the People Smuggling envoy in 2009, leaving the job after just eight months to take up a position as Australia's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva in 2010. In 2014 he was appointed as Australia's Ambassador for the Environment.

Woolcott was a Director for the Sea Law and Ocean Policy Group (1990–91), the Human Rights Section (1992–94) and the India and Indian Ocean Section. Woolcott has also worked as the international adviser to Bond Corporation (1989–90) and as the Executive Manager International Bid Relations, Sydney Olympic Bid 2000 Bid (1991–92).

In April 2013, under the presidency of Woolcott, the Arms Trade Treaty was adopted by the UN general assembly in New York by an overwhelming majority. This internationally commemorated success will assist in establishing internationally agreed common standards for the national regulation of the conventional arms trade and reducing the flow of unregulated arms. In 2015, Woolcott spearheaded Australia's negotiating teams at climate talks in the United Nations. He emphasized the pertinent issues of climate change: "Left unchecked, it will magnify existing problems and increase pressure on resources including land, water, energy, food and fish stocks. It has the potential to erode development gains, undermine economic growth and compound human security challenges."

In 2017 Woolcott was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to public administration in the field of international relations through senior diplomatic roles, and as a lead negotiator in the non-proliferation and arms control fields.

Personal life
Woolcott is married to Tanya Hollows (the daughter of Fred Hollows) and has three children, Charles, Nicholas and Isabella.

About Parker
Parker is a principal in Beasley Allen's Atlanta Office and is part of the Personal Injury and Products Liability Section. He is a husband, a father and a fierce advocate for his clients, and since joining the firm in 2008, he has established himself as a force in cases of national significance.
Over the course of his career, clients large and small have trusted Parker in their legal matters. In addition to representing families in a wide variety of catastrophic injury and death cases, Parker has represented governments, large and small businesses, universities, farmers, and fishermen in significant economic damage cases. He has successfully navigated his clients in state and federal courts across the country, whether through a single event, class action and mass action multi-district litigation devices. Through it all, Parker's guiding principle is to have a lasting, positive influence in the lives of others, and he puts that principle into practice by guiding his clients through the legal process so they can obtain a new, better normal.
Parker currently represents survivors and their families in a wide range of catastrophic injury and death cases. These include premises liability cases where a property owner fails to ensure a premises is reasonably safe, ultimately resulting in the severe injury or death of another. Parker is especially passionate about negligent security cases, a subset of premises liability cases, where innocent people are brutally injured or murdered in apartment complexes, hotels, nightclubs and other establishments because premises owners failed to take basic and necessary security measures. He is also currently investigating and/or litigating significant product liability cases in multiple states on behalf of families. These cases include, for example, guardrails that impale vehicles, furniture that crushes children, and vehicles that needlessly burn, eject, or crush their occupants in crashes. Finally, Parker litigates commercial vehicle crash cases, and he just recently obtained a seven-figure settlement for the victims of a tragic commercial vehicle crash.
Parker also maintains a niche practice representing state governors and state attorney generals in nationally-significant, high stakes cases. Over his career, he has served four (4) attorneys general and (3) governors. Currently, he serves as co-lead counsel and deputy attorney general for the State of Alabama against Purdue Pharma L.P., Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and McKesson Corporation, in the historic opioid litigation centered in Cleveland, Ohio. Parker also serves as lead Beasley Allen counsel to Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr in Georgia's opioid litigation. Parker is responsible for helping guide these states in their preparation for trial.
Past Notable Cases
Before joining Beasley Allen's Personal Injury and Products Liability Section, Parker worked in the firm's Toxic Torts Section, where he successfully litigated cases on a wide variety of legal topics, including personal injury, toxic exposure, business-on-business product defect litigation, consumer fraud and a large charitable trust dispute.
Parker played a major role in what is considered to be one of the most significant, high-stakes cases in history – the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill litigation. He served as co-lead counsel for the state of Alabama, co-counsel to then-Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, and was deputized a deputy attorney general of the state of Alabama by Attorney General Luther Strange. Parker was a point person for Alabama before the court, served as the architect for the State's economic and property damage models, and was a member of Alabama's settlement negotiation team. After years of litigation, BP agreed to pay Alabama $2.3 billion in what is arguably one of the most significant settlements in Alabama's history. In addition, Transocean agreed to pay the state of Alabama $20 million. At the conclusion of the case, former Alabama Governor and Beasley Allen founder Jere Beasley stated that "His efforts were nothing short of exceptional."
During the BP Oil Spill litigation, Parker was selected to serve as Beasley Allen's second chair to the oil spill Plaintiffs' Steering Committee in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ultimately, the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee reached a landmark, uncapped settlement with BP that has paid more than $14 billion to private claimants throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Parker oversaw the Firm's fishermen and personal injury clients devastated by the spill. In addition, Parker represented hundreds of businesses throughout the affected area that lost business revenues because of the spill. Ultimately, he recovered tens of millions of dollars in compensation on behalf of his private clients in the litigation.
Parker is rated an AV Preeminent® attorney by Martindale-Hubbell (4.9 out of 5.0) – the highest possible Martindale-Hubbell rating a lawyer can achieve in the categories of legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication ability and legal experience.
In 2012 and again in 2014, Beasley Allen selected him as the Toxic Torts Section Lawyer of the Year. Since 2014, the Super Lawyers publication has designated Parker a "Rising Star" — a designation that recognizes the top 2.5 percent of lawyers younger than 40. Law360, a national legal publication with 150,000 readers and 11 news bureaus, recognized Parker as a "Rising Star" in 2014 and again in 2016, making him just one of four environmental attorneys to make the list. The National Trial Lawyers organization has also named Parker a "Top 40 Under 40" lawyer, which is "extended solely to the select few of the most qualified attorneys from each state who demonstrate superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature and public profile measured by objective and uniformly applied standards."
Parker has been a leading figure in numerous legal organizations. He is a member of the American Association for Justice and currently serves as an Executive Committee Member of AAJ's Products Liability Section. Parker is also involved in the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association and was recently selected to be one of only 17 lawyers named to the 2018-2019 GTLA LEAD program, which assembles the top rising trial lawyers in Georgia.
In Alabama, Parker served on the Executive Committee of the Alabama Association for Justice and was also one of four elected officers for the organization's Emerging Leaders Caucus. Parker also served as President of the Alabama State Bar Young Lawyers Section; a member of the Alabama State Bar President's Executive Committee; as an at-large State Bar Commissioner; Vice Chair of the Task Force on the Restructure of the Office of General Counsel; Local Bar Task Force Committee Member; Membership Relations Task Force Committee Member; Volunteer Lawyer Program Committee Member; Disability Inactive Status Task Force Committee Member; and a former member of the Alabama Law Institute Council. Parker was also selected to be one of only 30 lawyers in the Alabama State Bar's 2015 Leadership Forum. The Leadership Forum is a competitive Forum that encompasses all legal disciplines – including in-house, criminal prosecution, criminal defense, civil defense and civil plaintiff's lawyers. His Leadership Forum peers ultimately nominated him as class representative to the Alabama State Bar Leadership Forum organization.
Over the course of his career, Parker has been quoted in Law360, the Montgomery Advertiser, 11Alive in Atlanta, and the Mobile Press-Register. He has also appeared on numerous occasions as either an attorney host or guest on WSFA's Ask the Attorney, Law Call and the Beasley Allen Report television programs. Parker has also been a frequent speaker and guest lecturer on a wide variety of topics.
Parker graduated high school with honors from Marengo Academy in 2001. He attended Auburn University and received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 2005. He received his law degree from Faulkner University's Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in 2008. While attending law school, Parker was on the Dean's List, and he studied international law abroad in conjunction with Tulane University at the Universitiet van Amsterdam. In addition, he was recognized by the American College of Trial Lawyers as one of the nation's finest student advocates and received the Lewis F. Powell Jr. American College of Trial Lawyers Medal for Excellence in Advocacy.
Parker was raised on a cattle farm with two brothers in Dayton, Alabama, and is the son of Mary and Tommy Miller. He is married to the former Ashley Brownsberger of Tampa Bay, Florida, and together they have two children, Sophia Elizabeth Miller and James Parker Miller. They also attend the Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta.

Q: Is there a way to color (only real) math in pdflatex? I'd like to change the color of all math in my document. I understand that several packages and some engines provide support for changing the color of all math, and I understand that something like
\everymath{\color{green}}

almost works, but also ends up coloring things like URLs and captions, while failing to color displayed equations.
Is there a reliable way to change the color of just math, in pdflatex, without relying on special packages or classes?

A: \everymath{\color{green}}
\everydisplay{\color{green}}
\def\m@th{\normalcolor\mathsurround\z@}

will get you most of the way there, although you are still likely to need some special fixup for individual commands here and there that use math internally without using the \m@th command which I redefine above to reset the color. Most "internal" uses of math for vertical centering tables or superscripting footnote marks etc, use that macro but that convention (from Plain TeX originally) is not enforced anywhere, and also redefining it might not be safe in all contexts (\edef for example) so some uses may need more explicit redefinitions to reset the colour.

Manage iOS devices without MDM profiles
Basic Mobile Management allows admins to mandate basic security on iOS devices without requiring users to install an MDM profile. It also relieves admins of the need to set up an Apple Push Certificate and the hassles of renewing that certificate regularly.
With Basic Mobile Management, admins can:
Enforce a screen lock.
Wipe a corporate account (but not the entire device).
View, search, and manage their device inventory.
Basic Mobile Management makes it easier for employees to use their personal devices at work as well, by allowing them to set up their corporate accounts just like they would their personal accounts.
Organizations that require additional restrictions, mobile audit, or application management on iOS devices should continue using the Advanced Mobile Management option.
For more details on Basic Mobile Management and how to get started, check out the Help Center.
Please note that agentless management is only available for iOS devices at this time. Users will still need to install the Device Policy app on their Android devices, even if their admin has chosen Basic Mobile Management.
Help Center: Set up mobile device management
G Suite administrators who want their employees to use their own mobile devices at work face a challenge: all Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions available today require an agent or profile to mandate corporate mobile policies, but employees are uncomfortable setting up these agents and profiles on their personal devices. Oftentimes, they choose not to add their corporate accounts to their personal devices at all.
To meet the needs of both admins and employees, today we're introducing an agentless way to manage iOS devices: Basic Mobile Management.

Customize your G Suite experience with App Maker and Recommended apps
(Cross-posted from The Keyword)
Posted by Elissa Murphy, Vice President of Engineering, G Suite
G Suite is designed to help you do your best work, whether that's through real-time collaboration that brings your teams together or machine intelligence that speeds up everyday tasks. But we understand your company has unique needs and workflows that G Suite alone wasn't built to address. We also know your teams rely on many third-party apps for things like CRM, support, and project management to get their job done. So today, we're announcing two new ways to customize and extend your experience on the G Suite platform: App Maker, a new low-code developer tool for building custom enterprise applications, and the addition of seven new partners to our "Recommended for G Suite" third-party partner program.
Introducing App Maker, a new way to build powerful apps for your business.
App Maker is a low-code, application development tool that lets you quickly build and deploy custom apps tailored to your organization's needs. Whether you're looking for better ways to onboard new team members, staff projects, or approve employee travel requests, App Maker helps you build an app for that in days instead of months.
Go from idea to app, fast: App Maker makes it easy for IT or even citizen developers (including analysts and system administrators) to quickly iterate from a prototype all the way to deployed app. It offers a powerful cloud-based IDE that features built-in templates, a drag-and-drop UI, and point-and-click data modeling to accelerate your app development efforts. App Maker also embraces open, and popular standards like HTML, CSS, Javascript and Google's material design visual framework, so developers can build apps quickly, in a development environment that leverages their existing skills and knowledge.
Build integrated, tailor-made solutions for every need: App Maker lets you build a range of applications customized to meet the needs of your organization and connects to a wide range of data sources and APIs. This unique flexibility starts with built-in support for G Suite products as well as popular services such as Maps, Contacts, Groups and more. You can also leverage other Google Cloud services such as the Directory API and Prediction API, or third-party APIs, to create richer, more intelligent application experiences.
Focus on delivery, not infrastructure: App Maker is built on the same secure and trusted infrastructure as G Suite apps like Gmail, Drive and Docs. Developers can safely deploy custom apps in the cloud without worrying about servers, capacity planning, infrastructure security and monitoring that would otherwise require internal support from IT.
Over the past few months, we've previewed App Maker with a handful of large G Suite customers and many have already built and deployed applications to their organizations. We're also working with the following consulting partners to help deliver solutions to our joint customers: Appsbroker, gPartner, G-Workplace, Ignite Synergy, Maven Wave, PwC, SADA Systems, and Tempus Nova.
Here are a few ways that enterprise customers and partners have used App Maker to make everyday business processes simpler and more efficient--whether it's to track suspicious login activities, take analog claims processes and make them digital, or track office inventory orders.
If you're interested in trying out App Maker, it's available today through our Early Adopter Program for G Suite Business customers. Apply for the EAP here.
Announcing new apps for the 'Recommended for G Suite' program
While G Suite helps your teams communicate and collaborate more easily, we get that you also rely on third-party apps to manage other aspects of your business including sales, marketing, and operations. We want to make it easy for you to integrate these solutions with G Suite, and that's why we introduced the Recommended for G Suite program last year. The program selects market leading applications, built by independent software vendors (ISVs), in a range of categories like project management, customer support, finance and accounting.
Today, we're adding seven new apps to the program that can help you be more productive. These apps solve critical business problems and offer deep integration and direct support with G Suite. Each app also goes through rigorous security testing and quality measures to qualify for the Recommended for G Suite program.
Our new recommended partners include:
Asana for project & process management
DocuSign for eSignature
Freshdesk for customer support
LumApps for corporate & social portal
Virtru for encryption
Xero and Zoho Invoice for finance & accounting
Since we launched this program with our first eight apps last year, we've seen many examples of how our customers have incorporated them with G Suite to drive more value for their business. We've created a webinar series to show first-hand examples of this, and you can sign up here if you're interested in attending. In addition, if you're an ISV that's interested in becoming a Recommended for G Suite partner, please submit your application here.
Try these new solutions today
We're committed to helping you get the most out of your G Suite experience by fostering the best ecosystem of cloud applications and partners. App Maker enables you to build powerful apps tailored to your organizational needs, while the Recommended for G Suite program helps your teams select leading apps to grow your business. Both solutions are available today, and we encourage you to try them out.

Google Team Drives Early Adopter Program now accepting applications
that we would soon launch an Early Adopter Program (EAP) for the Team Drives feature in Google Drive. We're now ready to accept applications for that EAP, which will kick off shortly.
Team Drives are shared spaces where teams can store their files and guarantee that every member has the most up-to-date information, no matter the time or place. Team Drives make onboarding easy, because every person and Google Group added to a Team Drive gets instant access to that team's documents. Moreover, Team Drives are designed to store the team's work collectively, so if a document's creator moves off of the team that document doesn't go with them. Advanced access controls make Team Drives even more robust, preventing team members from accidentally removing or deleting files that others need.
Before applying for the Team Drives EAP, please note the following restrictions:
The Team Drives EAP is only open to G Suite Business and Education customers.
Only G Suite admins can sign up for the Team Drives EAP. If you are not the G Suite admin for your organization, please contact that individual and ask them to sign up.
Admins will need to enroll their entire primary domain in the EAP. They will be able to restrict Team Drives creation to certain organizational units, but all users in the domain will be able to see and access Team Drives. They will not be able to enroll secondary domains.
At the moment, Team Drives does not support some features, including adding members from outside of one's domain, syncing to a desktop computer, and Vault capabilities.
Apply for the Team Drives Early Adopter Program (EAP) today, and help teams of all sizes at your organization work better together.
In September, we announced that we would soon launch an Early Adopter Program (EAP) for the Team Drives feature in Google Drive. We're now ready to accept applications for that EAP, which will kick off shortly.

[Pre-announcement] Drive sharing notification improvements to support Gmail smart hosting
Google Drive will no longer store a 'courtesy copy' in the mailbox of the sender. Gmail's comprehensive mail storage feature will now place a copy of Drive sharing notification emails in the sender's Sent folder.
If you use smart hosting (through an outbound mail server), you can now capture and deliver these emails through your preferred mail gateway.
If you previously relied on outbound gateway settings to route Drive notifications, you can now use content compliance rulesor sending routing rules to route these messages, making it consistent with other mail routing features.
What's not changing:
The "from" field is not changing. It will continue to be the sender when the recipient is a group, or drive-shares-noreply@google.comin all other cases, as it is today.
The message header fields are not changing. The envelope sender will still be [string]@doclist.bounces.google.com, not the actual account of the sender.
Request access notifications will not behave differently.
These changes will roll out to G Suite customers over a few days, starting on November 28, 2016.
Launching to both Rapid and Scheduled release
Starting on November 28, 2016, some small but important changes are coming to the way that Google Drive sends notification emails. Your users will not see any visible changes, but if you use Gmail's advanced smart hosting features, then you may notice a difference in the way new emails are archived or filtered by your mail solutions.

Export presentations in OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) format from Google Slides
Download as > ODP Document (.odp) to download your presentation as an ODP file. The file will be saved to your default download folder.
With this update, you can now import and export all three major OpenDocument file formats: .odt files for documents, .ods for spreadsheets, and .odp for presentations.
Please note that some formatting (e.g. tables and complex shapes) may be lost during file conversion.
Being able to save Google Slides in the OpenDocument Presentation (.odp) file format has been a popular request from the open-source community and organizations that use open-source office suites, such as LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Starting today, you can download your Google Slides presentations in the ODP file format.
From a Google Slides presentation, click File > Download as > ODP Document (.odp) to download your presentation as an ODP file. The file will be saved to your default download folder.

Save time with new custom templates in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms
, Action items, and other features to help your teams save time and focus on what's important: creating impactful work, quicker. We know time spent re-creating files in the workplace takes away from the time your team can spend collaborating and achieving results.
That's why, today, we're introducing custom templates in G Suite for the Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms files your teams use the most.
Simply submit files to shared template galleries in the Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms home screens for your co-workers to adapt and use as needed. With these customizable templates, your teams can focus less on formatting and more on driving impact and sharing success.
Note that if you disabled template submissions to the old Google Drive templates gallery in the Admin console, users in your organization will not be able to see and use the new galleries when they launch. You can enable the new galleries for your users in the Admin console (Apps > G Suite > Drive and Docs > Templates). You can also configure the categories available for your organization's templates from that same section in the Admin console.
In addition, G Suite for Business and Education customers can require templates be approved before they appear in the galleries, or prevent end users from submitting new templates altogether. These features are not enabled by default, so you'll need to update your settings if you want to moderate or restrict template submissions to the galleries.
The old templates gallery will be shut down in early 2017, giving you and your users time to transition to the new galleries. We'll let you know the exact date with a message in the old gallery, but it will not take place before February 1st, 2017.
An important note regarding this rollout:
To give you a chance to update your settings and curate your organization's template galleries, we're rolling out these features (both in the Admin console and in the home screens) to all admins, regardless of their release track, starting today. We'll launch to end users on the Rapid release track today as well, with the rollout to end users on the Scheduled release track starting on December 7th.

Build data-rich presentations in seconds with integrated apps and the Slides API
Posted by Vishnu Sivaji, Product Manager, G Suite
Presentations are a staple in business communication. When done right, they help tell a story that can captivate, persuade, or inspire audiences. But crafting that story can be tedious, especially if you're constantly flipping between screens to copy and paste charts, images, or figures into your slides.
If only there was an API for that….
Today, we're announcing the general availability of the Google Slides API which gives developers programmatic access to create and update presentations in Slides from any data source. We previewed the Slides API at I/O earlier this year to change how business presentations are built. Now, your teams can use a number of ready-to-go integrations to turn your business data into presentations, with just a click.
Build beautiful, up-to-date presentations in seconds using Conga, Trello, Lucidchart and Zapier
Whether you're looking to populate a quarterly business review (QBR) deck, add specs for weekly design review slides, or refresh event registration data for your daily update, the third-party apps below let you quickly and easily build beautiful, data-rich presentations.
Generate your next QBR deck with Conga: Conga makes document creation and reporting for Salesforce easy. With its Slides API integration you can create a quarterly business review presentation in Slides from your standard Salesforce Account records in seconds. Read more here.
Create vivid project updates with Trello: Trello helps you organize and prioritize project information in highly visual ways. With its Slide API integration, you can turn any Trello board or set of cards into a Slides presentation with just a click. Read more here.
Review complex visualizations with Lucidchart: Lucidchart helps you create complex diagrams and visuals easily. With its Slides API integration you can export flowcharts, mockups, and other such visuals, break them into slides to cover specifics in more detail, and rapidly iterate on the content. You can find Lucidchart on the G Suite Marketplace and read more about the integration here.
Create and respond to custom proposals requests with Zapier: Zapier lets you create and automate business workflows. With its Slides API integration you can create, collaborate, and share dynamic presentations using Slides with just a few workflow rules. You can get started with the Slides integration on Zapier or learn more about it here.
All of these app integrations are available to try today — and this is just the beginning. We're working with many other software vendors, including ProsperWorks, AODocs and Form Publisher to help you do more in less time in all sorts of ways.
Developers can start using the Slides API today. Documentation and demos are available at developers.google.com/slides and they can read more about it here.

A totally rebuilt Google Sites—now available to everyone
a completely revamped Google Sites with a select group of early adopters. Starting today, we're making the new version of Sites generally available to G Suite customers. In addition to the intuitive technology, integration with G Suite apps, and attractive design that our early adopters have come to know and love, the new Sites now includes the ability to track performance with Google Analytics, six new themes, and other helpful features. Read on for more information regarding this launch, and check out the Help Center and Learning Center to learn more about the new Sites.
The classic version of Sites will continue to exist
The previously existing, classic version of Sites will continue to exist in parallel with the new Sites as we add capabilities that are similar to those found in the classic Sites. The classic Sites and the sites created with it will continue to follow the Sites-specific settings in the Google Admin console at Apps > G Suite > Sites.
In 2017, we'll provide and recommend options to migrate your sites from the classic Sites to the new Sites.
Beginning in 2018, we'll send a timeline and instructions regarding the gradual process to shut down the classic Sites. The specific date for the shutdown of the classic Sites has yet to be set, but we'll inform you at least one year in advance of that shutdown.
Turn the new Sites on or off for your organization
The new Sites is ON by default, but your users will not be able to create or edit sites in the new Sites unless you have both Google Drive and the classic Sites turned on as well.
To turn OFF the new Sites in your organization, you can do any one of the following:
In the Admin console, go to Apps > G Suite > Sites > New Sites and select Users at [my domain] cannot create and edit sites.
Turn off Sites entirely.
Turn off Drive entirely.
The new Sites respects Drive sharing settings
The new Sites respects the Drive sharing settings in the Admin console (located at Apps > G Suite > Drive). It does not abide by the classic Sites sharing settings (located at Apps > G Suite > Sites). If you allow users to publish Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files on the web, they'll also be able to publish sites created in the new Sites on the web.
Check out the new Sites today, and get started creating useful, beautiful sites that work across screens to deliver your content in the most effective way possible.

Gmail and Google Calendar get a whole lot better on iOS
Posted by Matthew Izatt, Product Manager
Today we're making some changes to the Gmail and Google Calendar apps on iOS.
The new Gmail app for iOS
When you get the next Gmail iOS app update, you'll notice some exciting changes: The biggest overhaul of the app in nearly four years. It's the Gmail you know and love, with a fresh new look, sleeker transitions and some highly-requested features. It's a lot faster, too.
With the new app, getting things done on the go is a lot easier — whether you're trying to find a message your colleague sent you last month, or trying to get through your work inbox on a Monday morning.
Starting today, you'll be able to:
Undo Send, just like you do on the desktop, to prevent embarrassing email mistakes
Search faster with instant results and spelling suggestions (like when you type "flighht," but you really meant "flight")
Swipe to archive or delete, to quickly clear items out of your inbox
Google Calendar: Updated for you
Based on your feedback (thank you!), the Calendar app on iOS has some shiny, new features:
Month view and week in landscape view, so you have even more ways to see your schedule at a glance.
Spotlight Search support, so you can search for events, Reminders and Goals in Apple's Spotlight Search and find what you're looking for faster.
Alternate calendars. If you often look up dates in a non-Gregorian calendar — like Lunar, Islamic, or Hindu — you can now add that calendar to easily see those dates alongside your current calendar.
We'll continue to improve both Gmailand Calendarfor iOS so you can be more productive on the go.

Transfer data from one user to another with the Google Admin app for Android
Help Center: Manage user accounts from an Android device
You can now transfer data from one user to another in the Google Admin Android app, much like you can in the web-based Admin console. The process can be initiated from the User List page or the User Details page and can be done as a standalone action, before suspending a user, or before deleting a user. Just like on the web, you can transfer Google Drive files and Google+ pages. For more detailed instructions, please visit the Help Center.
Bulk enrollment of company-owned Android devices
the ability to manage company-owned devices running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). That launch included several new settings, including device lockdowns, account management, sharing freedom, application management, and factory reset protection. Today, we're going even further to make it easy to manage your company-owned Android devices.
First, you can now bulk enroll your Android inventory and deploy it to remote offices with your chosen settings enforced. Moreover, during the bulk import process, you can now associate your company-owned devices with a new attribute called an asset tag to better integrate with internal tracking and billing tools.
Second, the mobile inventory page in the Admin console (Device management > Mobile devices) now features improved filtering around device ownership and device actions, like blocking and wiping.
Finally, all admin activities around the management of company-owned devices—like bulk import and device actions—are now logged in the Admin Audit section of the Admin console (Reports > Audit > Admin), while all end user activities on company-owned devices—like OS updates, setting changes, and app installs and removals—are now tracked in Mobile Audit (Reports > Audit > Mobile Devices). Most importantly, you can now choose to receive a monthly report to help you monitor company-owned devices that have been inactive in the last 30 days.
Support for company-owned devices is provided to G Suite Business customers only. For more information, check out the Help Center.

Jamboard — the whiteboard, reimagined for collaboration in the cloud
Posted by TJ Varghese, Product Manager, Jamboard
Bringing the right team together for a meeting or brainstorm can take an idea from being good to great. When we tap into ideas from teams across the globe, our work becomes more collaborative and productive. It doesn't feel like...well, work. At Google, we've set out to redefine meetings. So today, we're introducing Jamboard — a collaborative, digital whiteboard that makes it easy for your team to share ideas in real-time and create without boundaries. We're moving the whiteboard to the cloud.
Your team's collaborative, cloud-first whiteboard
Jamboard raises the bar on collaborative creativity, bringing the same real-time collaboration found in G Suite, combined with the best of the web, to your team's brainstorms and meetings. You can work with teammates from across the world on other Jamboards or remotely use the smartphone or tablet companion app.
Jamboard makes it easy to enrich your brainstorm with the power of Google Search and your team's work in G Suite. Grab images and content from the web and bring them straight into your "jam." Pull in work from Docs, Sheets and Slides, or add photos stored in Drive. To capture your ideas clearly, Jamboard is packed with tools like sticky notes and stencils as well as intelligent features like handwriting and shape recognition.
It's a hassle when you use a whiteboard, reach the end of your meeting and have to quickly scramble to snap a picture of your work. How many times have you scribbled "do not erase" above your idea? Jamboard lets you take your work with you. When you "jam" with your colleagues, it lives in the cloud in Google Drive, so you can easily share what you've created or come back to iterate at anytime. Your brainstorm doesn't have to end when the meeting does.
Designed for precision and ease
Jamboard is intelligently designed to speed up collaboration among your teams with a 55-inch 4k display that features a best-in-class touch response time. Combine this with a built-in HD camera, speakers and Wi-Fi, and you're set up to collaborate and broadcast your work globally with Hangouts.
Jamboard's touchscreen was built for precision drawing. It automatically recognizes the difference between using the stylus to sketch or the eraser to start over, and neither require batteries or pairing. Jamboard can also sense when you're using your finger to wipe work off of the screen, just like a classic whiteboard (except you won't get ink on your hand). The intuitive, single-cable setup makes it easy to start creating quickly with Jamboard — just wheel it in, turn it on and start brainstorming.
Time to jam
We want to help teams get back to the heart of what they love to do: create new ideas. That's why we've worked closely with G Suite customers like Instrument, Netflix, and Spotify to refine the blend of hardware and software that drives Jamboard. We're also partnering with BenQ to tap into its network of channels and resellers to help bring Jamboard to market.
While touch displays have traditionally been expensive, at under $6,000 USD, Jamboard is a competitively-priced way to transform your team's meetings and will be available for purchase in 2017. As we "jam" on the final product details, we're ready to partner with a broader set of G Suite customers to perfect Jamboard through an Early Adopter Program. If you're interested, submit the form on the Jamboard website to receive more information about eligibility.

Create custom user attributes in the Admin console
or Google Cloud Directory Sync tool, you could also add custom user attributes to that pre-defined list. Starting today, you can create and view these custom user attributes directly from the Admin console interface; there's no need to employ the Admin SDK or GCDS.
For example, you can track the projects an employee is working on or store their hire date—whatever meets your organization's needs. Moreover, you can determine what type of data should populate each field (e.g. text, numbers, dates, email addresses, etc.) and who can see that data—admins and the individual user only, or all users in your organization. You can then edit and view these details on the User Details page in the Admin console.
For more information on how to add and manage custom user attributes, check out the Help Center.
Help Center: Manage custom user attributes
You have long been able to add, edit, and view various details about a user in the Admin console, from basic information like name and email address to workplace-focused data like job title, manager, and department. Using the Admin SDK or Google Cloud Directory Sync tool, you could also add custom user attributes to that pre-defined list. Starting today, you can create and view these custom user attributes directly from the Admin console interface; there's no need to employ the Admin SDK or GCDS.
Administrators can now take action on password-protected office files in Gmail
for Gmail is being released that will allow you to specify rules for how to handle password protected office files.
Once launched, you will have a new option in the attachment compliance filters which detects whether an attached office file, such as a Microsoft Office or LibreOffice document, is password protected, and therefore encrypted. From there, you can define what action to take on the message. For example, you can reject messages, detect particular attachment types or names, re-route the message, add a header, or prepend a string to the subject. You can also modify a message by stripping its attachments and adding an advisory notice to the message. The compliance filter is only triggered by whether the attachment is password-protected or not.
Many G Suite customers have already deployed Advanced Gmail filters from the Admin console in order to meet their specific IT security requirements. To learn more, visit our Help Center article on how to Set up filters for attachment compliance.
Whether you are in healthcare, financial services, or another regulated industry, G Suite is dedicated to giving administrators more control over their mail. For customers who need to store unencrypted copies of messages for regulatory purposes, a new attachment compliance filter for Gmail is being released that will allow you to specify rules for how to handle password protected office files.
Five new ways to reach your goals faster with G Suite
One of the core promises of Google Docs is to help you and your team go from collecting ideas to achieving your goals as quickly and easily as possible. That's why last month we launched Explore in Docs, Sheets and Slides — with machine intelligence built right in — to help your team create amazing presentations, spreadsheets and documents in a fraction of the time it used to take.
Today, we're introducing five new time-saving features designed to speed up and simplify the way you work, so you can focus on bringing your team's ideas to life.
1. Spend less time figuring out who owns what with Action Items
According to research by the McKinsey Global Institute, employees spend about 20 percent of their work week — nearly an entire day — searching for details internally and tracking down colleagues for answers. This can be especially true when a document is full of ideas, requests and comments, making it difficult to get a clear sense of who's responsible for what.
To help keep your projects moving, when you type phrases like "Ryan to follow up on the keynote script," or "Andrea to schedule a weekly check in" on desktop, Docs will intelligently suggest an Action Item to assign to the right person, thanks to Natural Language Processing (NLP).
You can also manually assign an Action Item to someone in the Docs, Sheets and Slides desktop and mobile apps by mentioning their name in a comment and checking the new Action Item box. The assignee will get an email notification and see the Action Item(s) clearly highlighted with a blue bar when they open the file.
2. Spend less time searching for the files that need attention
Once Action Items have been assigned, it's easy for team members to identify documents, spreadsheets and presentations that need their attention. The next time they visit Docs, Sheets, Slides (or Drive) from their laptops or mobile apps, they'll see a badge on any files with Action Items assigned to them, plus any unresolved suggestions that others have made to their files.
3. Spend less time building questions with smarter Forms
Since its launch in 2008, more than a billion questions have been asked in Forms, allowing us to identify common patterns, like question types and the response options that usually go with them. With the help of neural networks, we can now predict the type of question you're asking and suggest potential responses for you to choose from, giving you back about 25 percent of the time you used to spend creating a Form.
Let's say you're planning an all-day event at the office and need to know which day works best for your team. When you type "What days are you available next week?" Forms will intelligently determine that "Checkbox" is the ideal question type, and generate related response options that you can add one by one or all together.
Also debuting today is a top-requested feature from our business and education customers — the new "File upload" question type. Your respondents can now upload files from their computer or Drive — all of which are neatly collected for you in a new Drive folder. Note: This feature is only available for G Suite customers in Forms shared within their organization.
4. Spend less time typing with a set of new voice commands
Last year, we launched Voice typing in Docs on the web to help you capture ideas, big and small, without lifting a finger. Today, we're adding more ways to format and customize content with commands for changing text color, deleting words, inserting links and comments, plus a number of other ways to format, hands-free.
5. Spend less time switching between apps to get things done
We want you to be as productive and collaborative as possible, regardless of the tools you choose to work with, so we've partnered with Slack to make it even easier to work with Google Docs files. With a click of the "+" button in Slack, you can bring files from Drive directly into a conversation with your team, or create new Docs, Sheets and Slides files right from Slack. You can check out more details on Slack's blog.
With the introduction of Explore, and more and more updates to products that build in machine intelligence, taking back time spent on mundane, repetitive tasks will only get easier with G Suite. Now, you can focus your energy on creative and strategic work, not busy work.

Google Cloud Directory Sync v4.4.19: A new name and other updates
Google Cloud, a portfolio of products, technologies, and services designed for enterprises. Following that announcement, we're rebranding our Google Apps Directory Sync tool to better reflect the wide variety of products and services it supports. Going forward, Google Apps Directory Sync will be known as Google Cloud Directory Sync. In addition to this change, the latest version of Google Cloud Directory Sync will include the features and fixes described below.
The GCDS interface now shows only those sync features supported by your domain type.
The tool uses the latest Java JRE v1.8, which by default uses TLS v1.2 for HTTPS connections.
The GCDS EULA has been updated to include customers who may use a domain covered by the Managed Google Domain Terms.
"Force new users to change password" is now properly set on account creation.
Group memberships are now added properly on initial sync with group creation.
Instead of displaying "Connected failed - null" when there is a connection error testing SMTP notifications, GCDS now displays a proper error message.
Random passwords for accounts are no longer synced on the first and subsequent syncs; they are now set on the first sync only.
Users are now properly provisioned with the defined default password.
You can now re-authorize GCDS using a different account, even if GCDS has a valid auth token.
You can now perform a sync in GCDS, even if you haven't configured email notification settings.
Instead of displaying the raw HTML EULA when installing from the command line, the installer now displays the plain text EULA.
Check out the Help Center for more details, and download the latest version of GCDS.
