![]() If we change our perceptions and see the dandelion flower for what it is – an absolute lifeline to our bees in early spring – we might learn to love them more.”Ī study by pollinator researchers revealed that many wild urban “weeds” rank very highly for the quantity of nectar and pollen each flower provides, often much higher than a variety of garden plants. And bird’s-foot-trefoil, a not uncommon urban verge plant, is a food plant for more than 160 different invertebrates. “Every flower counts and will be targeted by pollinators – a patch of nettles can be swamped with caterpillars. All these little micro niches build up to a wonderfully complex tapestry,” Dines said. “One survey of pavements in Sheffield found 183 different plants, another in Cambridge found 186 species on walls. Photograph: Courtesy of less spraying and weeding, we might expect to see up to 400 plant species on walls and paths, he suggests. In this special series of reports we'll be looking at how animals and plants adapt to city life, what to look out for right now and how we can encourage more wild cities in the future. It has also offered us the chance to notice and appreciate the natural world in cities in an unprecedented way. The Covid-19 outbreak has seen cities and towns across the world go into lockdown which has enabled wildlife such as wild boar, deer, monkeys, foxes and even lions to venture into territory previously dominated by humans. ![]() The role of green spaces in urban areas has even been formalised in a draft UN agreement to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, often referred to as the Paris agreement for nature. While urbanisation is a major driver of biodiversity loss, many conservationists and town planners are trying to make built-up areas more nature-friendly. Nature’s role in the wellbeing and happiness of billions of people will be more important than ever. This week, the Guardian's Age of Extinction site is looking at biodiversity in cities and urban areas around the world, shining a spotlight on the under-appreciated world of nature hidden among the highrises and busy roads.Īround 55% of the world’s population live in urban areas and that number is projected to rise to 68% by 2050.

![]() The logo is now hands-on, with a hand proudly grabbing a sign that can display a range of brand mantras while giving a big thumbs up. This informed the changing of the brand name, dropping the ‘s’ to change it from ‘Grabits’ to ‘Grab It’, a snappy and emphatic call to action that reflects the nature of the brand and inspires people to take a more positive approach to their food choices with the option to grab a healthy snack in one bite,” said Kristoffer Fink Parup, Head of Strategy.ĭiscussing how this translates into the new design, Design Director, Sam Lachlan, explained, “First and foremost we wanted to visualise our key message and make it both active and endlessly versatile. In a very competitive market, our question to ourselves was how could we create an interesting space in the industry and bring a little something different to snack time? This led to a core positioning and single-minded creative idea that great health, convenience and, especially, flavour shouldn’t be out of reach. “With healthy and free-from alternatives driving the industry, Grab It’s high-protein and convenient offer is ideal for today’s foodie but health conscious consumers. Preparing for re-launch with new recipes, punchier flavours and extended product shelf- life, Tyson approached Pearlfisher to modernise and elevate its hand-held healthy snacking brand.

A player can restrain an opponent with his stick hand and his free hand. These penalties often occur in the corners and along the boards. Designated as a “wrap,” this form looks more like a hug than a penalty. The final form of the holding penalty involves both hands of a defender. ![]() If a defender grabs an opponent’s stick and disallows the skater to move his stick, it is called “Holding the Stick.” A textbook example of a holding the stick penalty, the Penguin defender is grabbing the Stars player’s stick The concept is the same for holding the stick. You can clearly see the defender grab Pavelski’s hand with his free hand. Instead, take a look at some other examples of it happening in game action.Ī penalty shot was assessed in this situation because Joe Pavelski was denied a clear scoring chance and the offending Red Wing was the last skater back. To explain holding any further than “grabbing a player and restricting his movement” would be heavily redundant and severely boring. –NHL Rulebook, Rule 54.1 If the Avalanche player were to grab the Penguins skater, this would be a holding penalty (Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports) Holding and Holding the Stick Examples The NHL rulebook defines the holding penalty as follows:Īny action by a player that retards the progress of an opposing player whether or not he is in possession of the puck Often, it is the result of one player falling behind the progress of an opponent (read: getting burned). This is part of our Hockey 101 Series geared towards the new hockey fan.Ī holding penalty is another common penalty in today’s NHL. ![]() ![]() ![]() Using it in preference to -Xmx has become best practice because the effective limit can track changes to the container memory limit. The JVM parameter -XX:MaxRAMPercentage was added. In the times since this feature was developed, OpenJDK has grown its own container awareness and can read and respond to Cgroup memory limits. Until now, our container run scripts were responsible for querying the kernel Cgroup settings, calculating what the ceiling should be as an absolute value, and setting the OpenJDK -Xmx flag accordingly. The containers set a ceiling value on the amount of heap space that Java can allocate, defaulting to 50% and adjustable by setting JAVA_MAX_MEM_RATIO (e.g. We are making a change to the default JVM memory tuning parameters, moving away from setting the JVM -Xmx parameter and instead using -XX:MaxRAMPercentage ( OPENJDK-1486). The next release of the UBI8 OpenJDK containers, version 1.15, is more exciting. Removed an old, long-deprecated JBoss Maven repository ( OPENJDK-921).Adjusted the way we build, which should result in smaller images ( OPENJDK-1336).The next release of the UBI9 OpenJDK containers, version 1.14, is a relatively minor update with just two user-visible changes: What to expect in the next container update The next container feature update will be released by March 10, 2023. Our aim is to make approximately quarterly container updates spaced out between the CPU releases. In order to extend and enhance the containers, we need to release updates at other times. For CPU updates, we generally limit the container changes solely to the updated OpenJDK. We release updated UBI for OpenJDK containers with the updated OpenJDK versions very soon after the upstream releases. These typically land in January, April, July, and October. The OpenJDK project provides new updates on a quarterly cycle and it is called the Cumulative Patch Update (or CPU for short). This article explains the changes in this update and the updates to come. We are about to ship the next update to the Universal Base Image (UBI) of the Red Hat build of OpenJDK containers.
