![]() ![]() It didn’t take long for him to get hooked. Simon worked there in the summers while in high school, meeting potato curators and plant collectors. It just so happens that he grew up in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin-down the street from a National Plant Germplasm System bank, this one housing the potato collection. Simon is a USDA/ARS plant breeder at University of Wisconsin-Madison who’s been breeding carrots and collecting seeds around the world for decades. If you’ve ever eaten a carrot, you might owe Dr. The National Plant Germplasm System plays a vital role by banking unrestricted seeds for plant breeders throughout the world. But because of the increasing privatization and use of restrictive intellectual property practices in the seed industry, plant breeders are having a more difficult time finding genetic resources they need to improve crops. It’s an ongoing process, which means that plant breeders are almost always on the lookout for new or wild genes to continue it. This is how humans have coevolved with plants through time-by selecting ones that have traits we need and replanting their seeds. Good plant breeders walk the line between developing a plant that’s reliable for the farmer while keeping the genetic pool big enough to allow for future breeding. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing for the plants, farmers, or the eaters. ![]() ![]() That’s because the uniformity we see on our tables, like all of the cherry tomatoes in a clamshell being about the same size, is the result of narrowing the variation in the plant’s gene pool. The selections plant breeders make each year to reach these goals end up narrowing the genetic diversity in the crop over time. Customers, like produce buyers or chefs, look for produce that’s similar in size and shape and tastes good.īut there’s a bit of a rub. Farmers look to breeders for plants that will germinate and ripen around the same time to help with farm planning and labor. While plant breeders keep eaters in mind, they also think about what farmers need-and that’s usually uniformity, flavor, and performance. Some plant breeders focus on making plants resistant to a nasty disease or veggies that are super nutritious.Ĭarrots in a rainbow of colors. Depending on their region, the farmers they work with, and the crops they focus on, they might be creating carrots in a rainbow of colors or something even more novel like a habanero pepper that isn’t spicy. Plant breeders select plants that fit their goals. Plant diseases change, climates change, and human tastes change, making the key to a resilient agriculture system a hardy and biodiverse seed supply. And since nature isn’t static, plant breeding is an ongoing endeavor ensuring human survival. Investing in seedsįor the past 10,000 years or so, humans have evolved alongside plants by selecting the ones that fit our needs and domesticating wild species for cultivation. Right now, plant breeders are raising the alarm that this bank needs attention-attention from everyone who depends on seeds for survival. Plant breeders have an incredibly important bank they can turn to for the essential tools they need to create crops for the future-the National Plant Germplasm System. They’re the unsung heroes building the foundation of our food system one seed at a time. In addition to farmers who grow the world’s food, we’ve got plant breeders to thank for our meals. Chances are most of us are not really sure. “It is just so much more important to have access to this material now than it was in the past because human intervention is challenging biological stability,” says Haga, adding people need to understand that “we have so severely impacted our natural environment that we have got to safeguard what we have.Ever heard the saying that you can’t eat money? Take a second to think about the last meal you ate and ask yourself where the seed that grew it came from. It’s an act of human intervention that is becoming more urgently needed as time goes on. “Ideally, we want to have a copy of each unique plant variety around the globe in Svalbard so if anything were to happen in any other seed bank around the globe, we could rest assured that we can still find the variety that we’re looking for and be able to use it for natural breeding for the plant that we need,” Haga said. In May 2016, more than 8,000 varieties of crops - including sheep’s food and chili peppers - from Germany, Thailand, New Zealand, and the World Vegetable Center were deposited into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.Īmong other seed types, there are currently 200,000 varieties of rice and 125,000 varieties of wheat being protected at the vault. ![]()

The clementine was named for this monk, Father Clement Rodier. Legend has it that a monk living in Algeria discovered clementines when he came across the naturally occurring hybrid between Chinese mandarin and sweet orange in the mandarin garden of his orphanage in 1902.Mandarins are one of the first citrus fruits-an ancestor of all other varieties of citrus that is native to Southeast Asia.The botanical name for clementines is Citrus reticulata ‘Clementine’.Mandarins were given this name because of the net-like interlaced pattern made by their pith, the spongy white portion between the flesh and the rind. “Reticulata” is a Latin word that means “reticulated,” a word that refers to a net-like pattern. The botanical name for mandarins is Citrus reticulata.That means that while all mandarins are not clementines, all clementines are mandarins. They are a hybrid between mandarins and sweet oranges. ![]() In short, clementines are a variety of mandarin. Keep reading to learn about the differences between mandarins and clementines when it comes to botany, appearance, taste, and nutrition. Both mandarins and clementines are citrus fruit similar to oranges, but smaller, sweeter, and easier to peel-but what’s the real difference between a mandarin and a clementine? The two fruits are so similar that it’s easy to see why some people think these are two words for the same fruit, but that’s not the case. ![]() ![]() ![]() The preview window has been tremendously updated: scale and rotate the supported file previews pin the window on top a previewed file can be selected for recovery even faster now with a conveniently placed checkbox. Confirmation alerts were added for cancelations of scan, recovery and backup processes During a backup copy creation, Disk Drill scans for and informs about bad blocks on the disk and whether their number is critical for the disk’s further functioning The session saving progress is now shown in a modal window for user’s convenience New comprehensive notification popup upon the scan completion Disk Drill is now officially compatible with Windows 11 What's new in 4.5.616 (see release notes for more)? Pro adds unlimited recovery, support for all file types and systems and powerful data recovery features aimed at home users.ĭisk Drill is a great undelete tool with some valuable extras. Although Disk Drill is free, a paid Pro version is available for $89. Note that the Free version is limited to recovering up to 500MB of data. If you accidentally wipe something then it can be recovered much more quickly from the Vault, and there's no chance of some vital file being accidentally overwritten. Tell the program to protect a drive and it saves copies of anything deleted from your chosen folders (Documents, say, or Pictures). There's also a surprising extra in Disk Drill's "Recovery Vault". That probably won't be practical for a full-sized hard drive - the file is going to be huge - but might be handy for external drives. If you don't have time to fully scan a drive right now, Disk Drill provides an option to create a backup image. Or you can save the current scan session, close the program, then reopen it later and carry on where you left off. If it's tying up to many file resources, you can pause the scan and resume it later. But after that, it's all very straightforward: click "Recover" for your chosen drive, wait for the results, optionally preview any images you've found, then select whatever you need and recover the files with a click.Īs with all undelete tools, the recovery process can take some time, but Disk Drill handles this better than most. The program requires installation, a problem as you might overwrite data you're trying to recover. It supports a wide range of file systems, including FAT, exFAT or NTFS, HFS+ and Linux EXT2/3/4.

Investors can select the markets through which they would like to send their trades, and the platform itself routes those orders directly to the market. Perhaps the most important feature that Lightspeed offers is the titular speed of its transactions. (Even within specific assets, however, investors should expect somewhat less information than they could find in a competing product like E*TRADE.) You must look up the stocks or options you’d like to invest in and then pull up any specific information you would like. ![]() While Lightspeed is built around technical trading, it is an asset-oriented product. You will find no fundamental analysis here, and not even many of the large sheets of market-oriented technical data. This service is geared toward high-volume traders, and as a result orients its tools around that market. Both offer largely comparable products, although with mildly different interfaces. Its core brand is its desktop platform, Lightspeed Trader, which is complemented by its web platform called Lightspeed Web Trader. Lightspeed offers two main trading platforms. If those tools seem like they might meaningfully change your trading game, Lightspeed might be worth your while. If you would like to search for assets by trading volume or volatility, you can do so. It also includes a customizable search tool called Lightscan, so that you can look for assets not just by name and industry but by a range of technical indicators. We’ll put it to you this way: One of the features that Lightspeed offers is the ability to pick your own trading venue based on the market currently offering you the best prices. Unless you make serious money as a day trader, you’ll get more for your money elsewhere.īut professionals might find this service worthwhile. Inexperienced investors, indeed anyone but sophisticated and high-skill investors, will find its interface confusing and its tools unhelpful. Ordinary investors will find little to love here. This is a trading platform designed for professionals. On its website Lightspeed calls itself “the home of professional traders,” and it is honest in its branding. Services & Features: What Does Lightspeed Offer? For a retail investor, you will probably do better to look elsewhere. ![]() The benefits of Lightspeed’s tools may outweigh the costs of using it. If you are a professional trader making some real money off of this system, it may work well for you. ![]() ![]() ![]() How it all ties together is a big unknown, however my gut feeling has sort of been along the lines of AS killing it's own people. The lyrics making it clear that not only was GlaDOS not killed, but that "she" is still developing more science both doing tests on, and working in the intrests of those who are still alive (seemingly implied as two seperate groups). Thus there might very well be a board of directors (and perhaps a certain infamously insane CEO) in the backround somewhere whom GlaDOS is answering to. "Bring Your Daughter To Work" day could very well have been a way of simply obtaining more targets, as well as creating a sense of jeopardy for the scentists in the building to try even harder to stop the AI as if it was combat conditions. Perhaps to test GlaDOS as a weapon by assigning "her" to kill all of the people they sent to the building, and to see if anyone could defeat the AI or if it had been perfected. I'm thinking AS was ultimatly running an experiment. I am guessing going by the epilogue/song that the case is 'no'. The big question to me here was whether or not GlaDOS killed all of the AS people or not. ![]() Indeed looking at some of the dirctor's comments about the red phone with the cut cord and such (a safety protocol for just this kind of thing that failed) it's pretty obvious that there was a crisis, and that what's more people knew what was going on as it happened since they tried to stop it and even install that morality core thing which apparently had no effect. I don't think there is any doubt about that. ![]() Looking at the evidence in Portal I'm pretty willing to accept that GlaDOS killed all those people.
