Winter Gritting & Maintenance: Don’t Wait – Prepare for Winter
The UK weather is unpredictable, but your business operations shouldn’t be. Without a robust winter maintenance plan, icy conditions can lead to disruption, increased risk, and costly liability claims. Planning before the first frost of the season ensures your sites can be properly assessed, mobilised, and, as a result, will be safe, accessible, and fully operational throughout the winter months.
Make international collaboration on space governance a priority
The science academies of G7 member countries have identified international space governance as a pressing issue for the G7 Leaders’ Summit, to be held from June 15-17 in Evian, France. The explosive growth of large satellite constellations over the last decade offers great promise for near-universal access to broadband internet. But this growth comes with risks that are not yet fully understood.

As corporations race for the stars, we need international collaboration on space governance
A satellite burns up as it travels through Earth's atmosphere. Several of these large satellite re-entries now occur every day. (European Space Agency/David Ducross), CC BY-SA Our understanding of the human impact on the near-Earth space environment is at a similar stage to our understanding of climate change back in the 1990s. We know that increased human activity is causing large disruptions to the space environment, but whether a tipping point is soon to be reached is not yet clear.

Rumoured Celtic Target Sparks Speculation with Airport Post
Michel-Ange Balikwisha has reignited transfer speculation after sharing a cryptic Instagram post from Nice Airport, just days after reports linked the Belgian winger with a move to Celtic resurfaced. The 23-year-old Royal Antwerp attacker is believed to be back on Celtic’s radar, with negotiations over personal terms reportedly underway. The Scottish champions have admired Balikwisha for some time, having previously shown interest in the forward during last year’s summer transfer window.
Water in ancient Mediterranean households
[Authors and titles are listed at the end of the review] Preview In an ancient Mediterranean context, the study of water frequently conjures images of structures on a monumental scale (such as aqueducts, bathhouses, or nymphaea). Rather than pursuing these particularly visible hydraulic projects, the essays in this volume deliberately focus on quotidian ways of using water, predominantly within domestic settings.

How to Attach a Patio Roof to an Existing House
A bare, uncovered patio facing west will often feel exposed and uncomfortable, especially during sunny afternoons. That’s the case designer-builder Peter Brown faced at the Cook residence in Bozeman, Montana. “This patio is essentially unusable on a sunny summer afternoon,” Brown says. The homeowners asked Brown to design and build a roof for the exposed patio, which sits outside the dining room, so he considered the options.

The landscape of the Zanj Rebellion? Dating the remains of a large-scale agricultural system in southern Iraq
Introduction A vast network of linear ridge/earthwork features, distributed across an area of more than 800km2, forms the standing remains of an agricultural system that once covered most of the Shaṭṭ al-ᶜArab floodplain in the Basra Governorate of southern Iraq.
Exploring patterns of female house mouse spatial organisation among outbreaking and stable populations
1 INTRODUCTION Home range defines an individual's access to space and resources, and in many species, may both determine and be shaped by interactions with neighbouring conspecifics (Powell & Mitchell, 2012). The size, orientation and distribution of home ranges reflect social and spacing behaviours such as territoriality and co-operation, which can impact survival and reproduction and have important consequences for population dynamics (Chitty, 1967; Kjellander et al., 2004; Krebs, 2013a).

From chip to SNP: Rapid development and evaluation of a targeted capture genotyping-by-sequencing approach to support research and management of a plaguing rodent (pdf) | Paperity
PLOS ONE, Aug 2023 The management of invasive species has been greatly enhanced by population genetic analyses of multilocus single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets that provide critical information regarding pest population structure, invasion pathways, and reproductive biology.
Effects of harvesting and stubble management on abundance of pest rodents (Mus musculus) in a conservation agriculture system
1 INTRODUCTION The shift to more environmentally sensitive agricultural practices over the last several decades has changed farmland landscapes. This includes the adoption of soil conservation practices, including zero-, no-, and minimum-tillage practices, whereby seeds are drilled directly into the soil with minimal disturbance, leaving stubble (residual stems and leaves) from the previous crop intact.
Mice control in the era of no-till
The recent transformation in cropping practices from conventional to conservation agriculture (CA) has changed the population dynamics of mice. Paddocks now appear to provide a year-round safe environment for mice, which includes undisturbed nesting sites and shelter provided by standing stubble. Overall, the shift has created large areas where mouse populations can increase and potentially form plagues.

Are Airbnb and other short term rentals ruining Columbia’s neighborhoods?
By ops@our-hometown.com | on October 27, 2022 Peter M. Brown, President of Colite That is the implied message of a headline article in The State newspaper October 5, 2022, “Columbia drafts policy to cap Airbnbs, short term rentals.” To be honest, such backward thinking by so called “Columbia Leaders” shouldn’t be surprising to anybody at this point.
Twelve Old Dogs and Hugs for Life
Sally was a Dutch Shepherd dog who arrived at Laurie Dorr’s Finally Home Senior Dog Rescue and Retirement Home in North Yarmouth, Maine, in 2019. Her owner was moving and was unable to keep her. At age 14, Sally would have been destined to live in a cage at a shelter, but the owner found Laurie’s rescue service instead. Laurie remembers sleeping on the living room couch, with Sally on a dog bed next to her, keeping her company for five days until the dog could readjust to her new home.
Three Cheerleaders Victimized by Deepfake Videos
It is only a matter of time before a schoolteacher loses her job because of one of these deepfake videos. —Gabrielle Carteris, President of SAG-AFTRA, 2019 The fact pattern sounds like the opening scene of a teen horror movie. Four girls in quiet Bucks County, Pa. are practicing at a local gym for a high school cheerleading competition. Three of the girls and the gym owners start receiving anonymous messages and videos where the three girls appear nude, drinking alcohol, and vaping.
Preserving Privacy in ‘Walled Gardens’
In response to increasing regulatory constraints, some of the Internet’s largest companies have created large aggregations of user data into “Walled Gardens” and data “Clean Rooms” where advertisers can test and target their messaging without violating the privacy of the data subjects. In his Technology Law column, Peter Brown explains how these large pools of data further the goals of the advertising industry without violating the increasingly strict national privacy regimes.
How are we feeling?
This year delivered a professional paradox: the coronavirus highlighted the importance of a vibrant press, yet the crisis introduced new levels of instability and viral disinformation, which piled on to the stresses of an industry already overloaded. To better understand how members of the media are faring, the International Center for Journalists and Columbia’s Tow Center for Digital Journalism began the Journalism and the Pandemic Project, surveying news workers around the world.
Calibration, collaboration and customisation
Combining made-to-measure reference materials and a collaborative approach is a smart solution that makes lab life easier How can you be sure that the analytes used across the environmental and food sectors are what they say on the tin – or in this case, the vial label? Calibrating chemicals to established accuracies assures crucial parameters such as quality, safety and traceability. Reference materials provide this accuracy and help ensure compliance with local, national and global regulations.
High mouse numbers in some regions mean growers must be vigilant
It is now more important than ever to monitor mouse activity - and reduce food resources and cover in paddocks - prior to seeding to reduce potential mouse damage. This is particularly the case in southern regions, where mouse numbers are moderate to high. Farmers need to walk through stubbles to determine the level of mouse activity in their paddocks. Mouse activity is not consistent across farms or regions, so monitoring needs to take place across a range of crop types and paddock history.

Bad metallic transport in a cold atom Fermi-Hubbard system
Much can be learned about the nature of a solid from how charge and spin propagate through it. Transport experiments can also be performed in quantum simulators such as cold atom systems, in which individual atoms can be imaged using quantum microscopes. Now, two groups have investigated transport in the so-called Fermi-Hubbard model using a two-dimensional optical lattice filled with one fermionic atom per site (see the Perspective by Brantut).

Spin-imbalance in a 2D Fermi-Hubbard system
Dual-comb spectroscopy relies on a pair of laser pulses with multiple frequencies distributed like tines in a comb. It is a rapid means of characterizing atoms and molecules in fine detail, but, when applied to complex mixtures, it can produce a sea of peaks that are hard to discriminate. Lomsadze and Cundiff present a protocol to extend dual comb spectroscopy into the nonlinear regime.
