Antsy publishers are starting to fear for their position within Facebook's powerful News Feed, now that tests have begun pushing their posts to an alternate timeline. On Monday, Facebook acknowledged it was testing a version of the social network overseas where publishers' articles appear in a river of content separate from the main News Feed, which would be reserved for messages by family and friends.

I'm often asked to speak about a thing that doesn't actually exist: diversity in publishing. Ironically, I don't think this is because people get any pleasure from hearing me talk about this thing that doesn't exist, any more than they get pleasure from hearing strangers tediously relay the details of their dreams.

Pivot to video? Easy to say. Harder to do.
Enter Wibbitz, which wants to make making videos easy — by getting computers to make videos, or at least help make them.
Wibbitz makes software that lets publishers including Reuters, Time Inc. and Hearst churn out as many videos as they'd like, as fast as they'd like. Wibbitz, whose Israeli founders started the company six years ago, says its 400 clients now generate 20,000 clips a month.

Its rise to hipster fame has catapulted the ampersand from the sketchbooks of type designers onto just about every printable surface you can imagine, the variations of which seem endless. From traditional representations all the way to hyper-stylised forms that bear little resemblance to the original mark.

Entomologist Vera Krischik has a bee and butterfly garden bursting with Mexican sunflowers, goldenrod, salvia and black-eyed susans. But when she has problems with aphids or Japanese beetles, she's careful to get rid of them responsibly. "We think that if we have a bug it will destroy the plant forever," she says. "It's easy just to cut out the insected area."

A gardener's work is never done, and during fall, this means it's time to get your growing space ready for winter. Now I know what some of you are thinking — is it really necessary? The short answer is yes! You've already spent a lot of time, energy and money on your garden, so it's important to protect your investment.
