If you're anything like me in the garden, each act — pruning a rose, weeding a flower bed, deadheading the annuals — supplies its own metaphor. "Cut the dead wood out," your brain says with glee, as you actively do just that. I remember struggling with grass in a flowerbed — as you do — and imagining myself a dictator trying to "root out" the resistance. "But it's a grassroots movement," my imaginary underling whined, "We'll never get it all." Grass is tenacious.

When I daydream about the world of tomorrow, my mind immediately goes to old Popular Science magazines with cover stories about flying cars and wondrous devices.
But ask most journalists about the future, and a look of demoralized panic will wash across their faces. Yes, technology makes modern-day reporting faster and more accurate, and the internet has been a boon to journalism and the art of keeping tabs on your local government.

The most aggressive response to the collapse of local journalism has come from hundreds of upstart news outlets that have formed over the last 15 years. We asked several industry innovators — three founders of local digital operations, and the architects of a program aimed at bringing legacy newsrooms into the digital era — to share their visions of what local news can look like without a local newspaper.

Marketers and tech giants may want to believe news audiences prefer a personalized experience, sourcing passive audience data to back the claim.
However, a significant percentage (48%) of Canadian adults worry more personalized news may mean they miss out on certain stories or perspectives. Given that more and more news is being consumed digitally, and that the mantra of massive digital media companies is "complete personalization," audiences rightfully have cause for concern.

It's not uncommon to meet a lawyer who'd like to work in renewable energy, or an app developer who'd like to write a novel, or an editor who fantasizes about becoming a landscape designer. Maybe you also dream about switching to a career that's drastically different from your current job. But in my experience, it's rare for such people to actually make the leap. The costs of switching seem too high, and the possibility of success seems too remote.

Have you read Victoria Helen Stone's False Step? No? Surprising, given that it's a best seller, and that you clicked on an article about books and publishing — I thought you were more widely read. Surely you've at least gotten through Loreth Anne White's The Dark Bones? Julianne MacLean's A Fire Sparkling? Claire McGowan's What You Did?
No?

What's New in Publishing
Photo and video-sharing social networks like Instagram and Snapchat have notched up notable growth, according to recent reports. Instagram is being seen as the fastest growing social platform for magazine media, while Snapchat's global user growth has exceeded expectations.
What's more, many magazines have seen substantial increases in follower count on Instagram, compared to almost negligible growth on Facebook and Twitter.

After a trial run in Canada that's been ongoing since May, Instagram announced on July 17 that it would be hiding publicly visible likes from users in six additional countries — Australia, Brazil, Ireland, Italy, Japan and New Zealand — in the name of shifting away from the app's emphasis on popularity. And while its "like ban" is only in an exploratory phase in certain regions, and Instagram is so far declining to comment on its plans for the U.S. market, the internet has been freaking out.

I remember when people casually referred to all striped invertebrates as "bees," when all insects were "bugs" and any such thing that buzzed in their vicinity required hosing with lethal poison.
Some people still see the insect world that way, no doubt, but I suspect the mass consciousness has shifted to a kinder feeling toward these creatures — and with it an understanding that most insects enrich the gardening experience.

Before man was, gardening waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.
OK fine, Cormac McCarthy was actually talking about war when he wrote that, but if you ask me, it still holds true for gardening.
Along with mastering fire, the purposeful cultivation of plants is widely considered to be one of the technological leaps that set humans on the path to complex civilization, for better or for worse.

If mosquitoes, gnats, black flies and no-see-ums are driving you buggy, then consider cozying up to some lavender, marigolds or basil. Scientists question their overall effectiveness, but many fragrant ornamental flowers and herbs grown around the home have properties that can repel insects. Insect repellents are divided into two primary chemical classes: natural and synthetic.
