extremely lightfooted in trot and active from behind She lacked proper bending on the voltes and in the corners but she showed a very clear differentiation between the working trot and the lengthenings the mare had great overstep and good relaxation In canter she was well balanced and forward thinking but got quick in the rhythm and lost some carrying power behind Guadeloupe needs to develop more swing and elasticity in the top line The wonderful mare was totally unphased by her surroundings She was dead quiet in the contact (maybe could have foamed a bit more) but her rider gave invisible aids and it was a very harmonious picture overall 9.2 for submission and 9.5 for perspective The judges loved Van der Velden's "beautiful riding" and they praised "the transitions to medium trot and back." World Championship debutant Kim van der Velden who works as an assistant trainer for Frenk Jespers “It was amazing and I really did not expect to win a medal It was special to do this in front of my home audience with all my family and friends that cheered us on The biggest surprise of the day came from the first horse to go in the 5-year old finals Danish warmblood mare Heiline's Danciera (by Furstenball x De Niro) Under Carina Cassoe Kruth the elegant black mare produced featherlight trot work a good walk and a decent canter which lacked some roundness in the legs The judges panel seemed to have received a memo before the start of the class that big notes were needed to bring excitement to the day When they started to announce the points of the first pair Not to say that Danciera is not a gifted horse but in the end her marks did not separate her enough from the winner who had far supreme basic gaits Danciera's 90.60% overall score with a 8.3 for walk 9.5 for submission (second highest submission score of the day) and 9.5 for perspective These scores more rewarded the beautiful riding and outstanding rideability of the noble mare than her ground quality It certainly was a good way for the judges to set the tone that proper classica riding was required for high submission marks Adelinde Cornelissen and Mr Korbeld's Dutch warmblood stallion Governor (by Totilas x Jazz) completed the top five in the finals The beautiful black stallion is quite short in the back and has some Jazzy underneck but he's a wonderful athlete with three very good basic gaits engaged from behind with a nice cadence and good swing in the body He was a bit rushed at the start but the rhythm improved and the extensions were brilliant The extended walk had good relaxation and overtrack  but could have been slightly more active In canter the black stallion was uphill and showed lovely simple changes On the left lead the hindquarters were slightly crooked The down side of the rider was certainly the contact opened his mouth and had the tongue appearing in front of his mouth he showed no ability of stretching the nose out and forward over the back Nonetheless Governor is a very talented horse for the future 8.2 for submission and 9.0 for perspective to total 86.80% The judges praised the athletic stallion for his "elasticity and swing in trot but he needs to be more round and through the neck."

Print Imagine visiting a mangrove in the Caribbean and discovering a human as tall as Mt Something like that happened to marine biologist Jean-Marie Volland — except instead of a human he stumbled upon a species of giant bacteria stringy microbes Volland found are more than 5,000 times larger than typical microscopic bacteria that play a vital role in ecosystems all over the planet The newly discovered species is so big that it’s easily visible to the naked eye Some specimens measure up to 2 centimeters in length the title of world’s largest bacteria belonged to a microbe the size of a fruit fly’s eye The new record holder, described Thursday in the journal Science Its discoverers thought it was so magnificent they named it Thiomargarita magnifica Beyond demolishing the notion of bacteria being microscopic the find challenges long-standing ideas about the nature of life on our planet The bacteria were first spotted in 2009 by Olivier Gros a biologist at the University of the French West Indies and Guiana while collecting underwater samples in Guadeloupe One of the sampling sites amidst the mangroves in Guadeloupe where scientists discovered a giant single-celled bacterium (Olivier Gros / University of the French West Indies and Guiana) “I noticed long white filaments attached to sunken leaves of mangrove trees,” he said I never imagined them to be single-celled bacteria.” years of follow-up studies involving microscopic imaging and DNA sequencing convinced Gros and his collaborators that the filaments were a member of the Thiomargarita genus of bacteria Rotting organic matter trapped in mangrove roots releases large amounts of foul-smelling sulfur-containing compounds that are poisonous to most animals But these bacteria devour sulfides to generate energy in a process known as chemosynthesis “Little tricks of how you can make a living when the environmental conditions may not be totally appropriate” enable sulfur eaters to push the limits of their size, said Victoria Orphan, a microbial ecologist at Caltech who was not involved in the study. Science & Medicine Geobiologist Victoria Orphan stands at the stern of the research vessel Western Flyer watching her colleagues put the last touches on an unusual spread Why these bacteria have grown to their gigantic scale is still up for debate magnifica may help it reach higher waters and take advantage of chemical gradients bridging a gap from where there is more oxygen to where sulfide is more abundant Another advantage is escaping predation — no one can eat the biggest fish in a pond Gros said the bacteria are not abundant in the mangroves the wild-caught samples researchers have worked with so far have been surprisingly strong and resilient I got to play with bacteria with a pair of tweezers,” said Volland a marine biologist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and lead author of the paper in Science A Thiomargarita magnifica bacteria cell seen under a microscope (Jean-Marie Volland / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory via Associated Press) Maintaining a bacterial cell thousands of times larger than normal is a logistical nightmare the way in which bacteria transport molecules within their single-cell bodies and exchange nutrients and waste with their surroundings magnifica would need several hours to move stuff around magnifica circumvents this problem by placing a large vacuole — essentially a scuba tank of nitrate that helps it breathe — right at the center of its cylindrical body This vacuole pushes the cell’s essential proteins sugars and metabolites against its membrane The operating instructions for a bacterial cell are stored in its genetic material that DNA swims freely within the confines of the cell has evolved novel machinery that packs its DNA in numerous copies each stored in a tiny membrane-bound compartment Scientists termed this new kind of bacterial organelle a pepin after the multiple small seeds or pips found in fruits like watermelons Thousands of pepins distributed throughout the length of T magnifica act as safe storage units for its genetic material and provide localized control centers for cell activities “If you want to generate proteins in response to something happening at the top or the bottom tip of the cell, it might work better to have another copy of the genome located close by,” said Jonathan Eisen a microbiologist at UC Davis who was not involved in the study Science & Medicine It’s a new class of antibiotic that promises to live up to its rough Latin translation: killer of bad guys. Until now, the packing of a cell’s DNA inside a membrane-bound nucleus, like the seed of an avocado, was thought to be strictly limited to cells of more complex, multicellular organisms. “This makes T. magnifica a fascinating example of a bacterium that has evolved a higher level of complexity,” Volland said. Despite its colossal size, scientists think it’s unlikely that T. magnifica are the behemoths of the bacterial world. Instead, its discovery highlights the narrow range of microbes studied in the lab, and the endless diversity of yet-unseen microbial life out in the wild. “I routinely remind people that bacteria aren’t primitive — they’ve evolved just as much as we have,” Eisen said. “If we keep looking, we will find more exceptions.” Sumeet Kulkarni is an intern with the Los Angeles Times’ science desk through the 2022 AAAS Mass Media Fellowship program.

Lurel also reiterated the campaign pledge of French president François Hollande which was to encourage the creation of labels and the obtention of controlled appellations for agricultural products grown in France's overseas territories in order to facilitate marketing Lurel stressed that the government was eager to move from words to deeds He also spoke of Martinique and Guadeloupe bananas as well as Victoria pineapples and Reunion lychees 'We must be aware that a brand builds and maintains,' he said 'The government intends to encourage and support initiatives like the one we are celebrating today.'
