The two could not reach an agreement, bringing about the creation of two stand-alone titles: Auto Chess by Drodo Studio, to be released on mobile devices and through a partnership with Epic Games, and Dota Underlords, developed and published by Valve. The game mode became very popular, and Dota 2 developer Valve reached out to the game mode's developer, Drodo Studio, in hopes of acquiring the rights to the game mode. Auto Chess was released on Januas a a custom game mode for Dota 2, playable in the game client through the Arcade feature. ![]() Much like Dota 2, which is a sequel to a popular game mode, Dota Underlords started as a modification of an existing title. ![]() ![]() ![]() All natural products have a light inherent scent, and sensitivities are a very individual matter.

This feature can be disabled by setting to false. The terminal will be reconnected and the UI state of the terminals will be restored, including the active tab and split terminal relative dimensions. Local terminal processes are now restored on window reload, such as when an extension install requires a reload. Integrated Terminal Retain terminal processes on window reload Manage and Accounts buttons inside the Activity Bar now properly announce they have a popup. Activity Bar, Side Bar, and Panel now have role:none, which will make the screen reader less chatty. Improved roles for views and buttonsīased on user feedback, we have improved the roles of multiple views and buttons across the workbench. Non-Windows platforms already worked as expected, so we made no changes there. They will still work, but we might remove them in the future. Now, when using word navigation, each word will be properly read out by the Screen Reader.ĭue to this change, we are deprecating the following commands. We have improved how word navigation is done on Windows to align with what Screen Readers on Windows expect from an Electron-based application. ![]() Thus the whole tab area is only one tab stop, and keyboard navigation between tabs should be done with the left and right arrow keys. As a result of this change, the workbench has far fewer tab stops, making it easier to navigate across all the parts.įor consistency, the same change was applied to the tabs area. ![]() Once the focus is on the toolbar, arrow keys should be used to move focus to a specific item in the toolbar. On the Downloads page, you can find more links to architecture-specific builds for Intel or Apple Silicon, which are smaller downloads compared to the Universal package.Īccessibility Toolbars and tabs occupy one tab stopĪll toolbars in the workbench now follow the standard navigation behavior, so the toolbar occupies only a single position in the tab order, and is navigable with the arrow keys. The default download of VS Code for macOS is now a Universal build that runs natively on all Macs. Thanks to the community for self-hosting with the Insiders build and reporting issues early in the iteration.

Reinvigorating our leadership team means that we’ll be able to focus on enhancing our combined business offering to support these needs whilst continuing to provide Australians with the things they already love about our platforms," he explained. Online classifieds are being led by consumers looking for a seamless process to buy and sell, and also by advertisers seeking contextual solutions driven by data. “As the needs of our stakeholders continue to evolve, so does our strategy. ![]() ![]() The appointments of Seewal, Evans and Fitzpatrick will also help to drive the business’ vision and strategy for 2022, spearheaded by Kehoe. Likewise, Kehoe said it also seeing value in offering its motor dealers listings across all three sites allowing them to reach larger audiences. Gumtree Australia, CarsGuide and Autotrader have since witnessed the benefits of business integration through its digital product development and the adoption of specific motors solutions from CarsGuide and Autotrader across the Gumtree platform. ![]() Fitzpatrick understands the role of data and how to connect with audiences through solutions that are client-centric," he added. Evans comes with a deep knowledge of product development in the transactional and mobile-first realm. “Each brings exceptional skills and experience to the business.

He added that each team member is a leader in their domain of expertise and will support the transformation to a single business across the three brands. According to Kehoe, the refreshed leadership team will guide the further integration of the business, with a focus on each brand leveraging from one another, realising synergies, and identifying growth opportunities. Alongside her appointment was Daniel Evans who joined as chief product officer and Shannon Fitzpatrick who joined as director of commercial partnerships. Mark Keho, MD for Gumtree Australia, CarsGuide and Autotrader, said Seewal offers highly relevant marketing experience in both horizontal and vertical classifieds businesses.

Last March, Seewal also started double-hatting as the CEO of, Indonesia’s third-largest C2C e-classifieds marketplace which was acquired by Carro in 2019. She was also responsible for forming in-house marketing teams in those four markets which includes brand, PR, social, SEO, performance marketing capabilities and an entire creative hub. Under parent company Adevinta, the new business direction will see synergies across Gumtree, CarsGuide and Autotrader realised through a combined ecosystem approach, allowing the brands to tap into new opportunities and achieve integrated outcomes, the company said.Īt Carro, Seewal scaled up the marketing function across Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. Adevinta now benefits from a highly diversified portfolio of classifieds platforms across geographies and verticals, notably in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada and Brazil. Citing statistics from Nielsen, she said Gumtree, CarsGuide and Autotrader have a total of 8.5 million users every month.ĮBay Classifieds Group was officially acquired by global online classifieds specialist Adevinta in June this year to create a globally scaled, pure-play online classifieds leader with a diversified and complementary portfolio of assets and brands. In her new role, she will build on the strengths of each brand to cement Gumtree’s position as Australia’s favorite local marketplace and build a leading destination for buyers and sellers in the Aussie automotive market through CarsGuide and Autotrader, her LinkedIn said.Īccording to her, each brand is known for their respective strengths: Gumtree, as the marketplace empowering economic opportunity through responsible living CarsGuide, as a popular automotive editorial guiding customers to confidently buy and sell cars and Autotrader, as a renowned automotive marketplace.

The unit delivers dredging rates of 1100 gpm over 800 feet horizontally, so it works effectively, regardless of whether you’re pumping spoils to a nearby shoreline, filling geotextile tubes or pumping directly to a barge for later disposal.Battlegrounds is a different game mode in Hearthstone that completely changes the way you play the game. The Dino6 is a powerful machine, featuring a 1500 gpm pumping rate and a high-torque, direct-drive cutter head. Capabilities: Don’t let its light weight and small size fool you.Also, thanks to its compact size, you can easily maneuver it into boat slips, as well as around docks and moorings of all sizes. Accessibility: Since you can transport it with one trailer and a haul vehicle, you can mobilize, launch and recover the Dino6 with minimal effort involved.Its footprint is a fraction of what many other dredges require to operate. Portability: At 22 feet long and six feet wide, with a total weight of only 3800 pounds and a mere 14-inch draft, the Dino6 is an extremely portable unit.It offers the following benefits that make it an ideal choice for removing sludge and sediment from marinas, with minimal impact on their operations: The Dino6 is a world-class compact dredging system. Designed to work in tight spaces around other equipment and obstacles, it’s the perfect choice for all types of marina dredging. All things considered, if the disruption to a marina is too great, the results of using the wrong type of dredge can have long-lasting negative consequences.įortunately, the Dino6 Sediment Removal System is a highly portable yet powerful dredge that can outperform dredges twice its weight and size. In addition to the potential impact of dredging on a marina’s operations, many larger dredges and excavators can pose problems for delicate shorelines and the wellbeing of aquatic life in the immediate area. When marina dredging is required, the equipment and method chosen for these crucial maintenance operations are vitally important to the safe passage of vessels, but also to the ongoing financial welfare of a facility and its clients. Why the Dino6 Is the Ultimate Marina Dredge This difference can have a significant economic impact on a marina and the companies that depend on its normal operation, such as charter boat and commercial vessel operators. Yet depending on the severity of the sedimentation, the type of dredge employed and the method of disposal of the dredge spoils, a marina may or may not have to close during the dredging operation. As a result, they deposit the sediment and debris they carry with them.Ī marina dredge is often the best solution to effectively remove accumulated sediment. However, since marinas are typically located in calmer, quieter spots that offer boats heightened protection from exposure to rough winds and pounding waves, they’re also often places where water currents slow down. Due to the very nature of public and private marinas that supply safe havens for mariners to moor, dock and launch their boats, the passageways of marinas need to be kept free and clear of obstacles and debris at all times. Of all the commercial marine interests impacted by the regular accumulation of sand, silt and debris - otherwise known as sedimentation - perhaps none are so adversely affected as marinas. ![]() Marina Dredging: What It Is, and Why It’s Important ![]() ![]() ![]() When someone tries to edit a video, he'll always like to make some changes to make it more relevant and engaging.

LCC is good, they say, but it has limitations. Since the discovery of LCC, researchers like Sonnendecker have been looking for new PET-eating enzymes in nature. Instead, LCC recognizes PET plastic as a naturally occurring substance and eats it like it would a natural polymer. Scientists working on LCC have found that the enzyme does not differentiate between natural polymers and synthetic polymers - the latter being plastic. LCC was a major breakthrough because it showed that PETase, a component of LCC, can be used to degrade PET plastic when it is combined with another enzyme known as an esterase.Įsterase enzymes are used to break chemical bonds in a process called hydrolysis. Scientists have been trying to find enzymes that will do that for decades and in 2012 they found LCC, or "leaf-branch compost cutinase." The second way is to force the plastic to degrade. This is what a grape container looks like after it's been treated with the enzyme PHL7 - the white particles are leftover terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, chemicals that can be used to create brand new PET rather than a lower quality version Image: Clare Roth/DW There are two ways to look at solving this problem: The first is to stop production of all PET plastic.īut the material is so common that even if companies stopped producing it immediately, there would still be millions of empty soft drink bottles - or tote bags fashioned from those bottles - lying around for thousands of years. So, a lot of PET is eventually fashioned into products like carpets and - yes - an exorbitant number of tote bags that end up in landfill sites. But the quality of the plastic weakens with each cycle. It can be refashioned into new products - it's not hard to create a tote bag from recycled water bottles, for example. Like nuclear waste or a nasty comment to your partner, once PET plastic is created, it never really goes away. PET plastic is everyoneĪlthough PET plastic can be recycled, it does not biodegrade. "Apparently, you go to nature and there are going to be enzymes that do this everywhere," said Howe. Howe, who also studies PET degradation but was not involved in the Leipzig research, appeared to be amazed by the study published in Chemistry Europe. "I would have thought you'd need to sample from hundreds of different sites before you'd find one of these enzymes," said Graham Howe, an enzymologist at Queens University in Ontario, Canada. And they found it was true: PHL7 was faster. To ensure their discovery wasn't a fluke, Sonnendecker's team compared PHL7 to LCC, with both enzymes degrading multiple plastic containers. ![]() PHL7 appears to 'eat' PET plastic times faster than LCC, a standard enzyme used in PET plastic-eating experiments today. To test the rate at which the seven enzymes broke down PET, Sonnendecker and his team added a mixture of water, a phosphate buffer, which is often used to detect bacteria, for example, and the new enzyme to seven individual test tubes Image: Clare Roth/DW After adding the mixture to the test tubes, the team added tiny slivers of PET plastic to each container to see how quickly it took to degrade Image: Clare Roth/DW Two enzymes 'eat' plastic: PHL7 vs. The PHL7 enzyme disintegrated an entire piece of plastic in less than a day. It was only the second dump they had rummaged through and they thought PET-eating enzymes were rare.īut in one of the samples, they found an enzyme, or polyester hydrolase, called PHL7. The scientists weren't expecting much when they brought the samples back to the lab, said Sonnendecker when DW visited their Leipzig University laboratory. It is commonly used for bottled water and groceries like grapes. They were hunting for proteins that would eat PET plastic - the most highly produced plastic in the world. While scavenging through a compost heap at a Leipzig cemetery, Christian Sonnendecker and his research team found seven enzymes they had never seen before. ![]() |
