Michael Keegan-Dolan’s Swan Lake/Loch na hEala is at Sadler’s Wells, London EC1R, from 30 November until 2 December. Box office: 020-7863 8000. Our results add to the growing evidence that terrestrially derived OM is not recalcitrant (Judd et al., 2006; Kellerman, Dittmar, Kothawala, & Tranvik, 2014; Kritzberg, Langenheder, & Lindstrom, 2006; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Roiha et al., 2016). Rather, t‐OM can undergo photo‐induced transformations and be degraded by EEAs, leading to CO 2 production in lake sediments (Karlsson et al., 2012). Although bacterial activity was not directly stimulated by aromatic OM, it was relatively higher in lake sediments dominated by aromatic OM, thereby suggesting that the terrestrially sourced fraction of DOM is relatively bioavailable and has a potentially high turn‐over rate (Karlsson et al., 2009; Kleber et al., 2011). These findings challenge the paradigm that t‐OM is highly degraded, recalcitrant, and otherwise unavailable to microbial degradation due to its chemical composition (Judd et al., 2007; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Sollins, Homann, & Caldwell, 1996; Zwart et al., 2016). Consequently, we suggest that t‐OM inputs to lakes will not remain unchanged in lake sediments, but will be altered by microorganisms and photo‐processes, which may change carbon budgets and/or transfer heterotrophic productivity to higher trophic levels (Cole, Caraco, Kling, & Kratz, 1994; Forsström, Roiha, & Rautio, 2013; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Tanentzap et al., 2014). More broadly, our results advance previous work by showing how the fate of t‐OM in lake sediments will ultimately depend on local environmental conditions and the bacterial community's genetic potential to degrade different OM qualities.

At some point before 22 June 1691, the Japanese Wizard Dai Ryusaki created the crown of Crown of Mneme and hid it at Hogwarts, creating the Cursed Vaults to protect it and building the Sunken Vault in the bottom of the lake as the resting place of the artefact. Bailey also occasionally puts us in the heads of other characters – usually insignificant ones. I perhaps spent too much time overanalysing whether this was a good or bad thing and it was probably neither as it simply gave us some hints or clues to help us work out whodunnit. it's a good, brisk read, and sometimes that's just what you need to get you through the brutal summer days when melting into a slop-puddle is a real concern. for me. some of you weirdos actually enjoy summer.

Functional genes involved in OM degradation were relatively more abundant in the dark than clear lake. Genes considered were those involved in (a) oxidase activity, which includes the sum of peroxidase and catechol, 1‐2‐dioxygenase gene abundances, (b) aromatic catabolism, (c) oxidoreductase activity, and (d) hydrolase activity, which is the sum of glucosidase, cellobiosidase, and xylosidase gene abundances. The line indicates a 1:1 ratio. Points above or below the line indicate a higher abundance of genes in the clear and dark lake, respectively

I was quite interested in the crime and its relation to the past, with lots of loose strings revealed throughout the novel. Unfortunately, when the conclusion came, I felt that a lot of things were left unanswered or nonsensical in their inclusion. I just couldn't understand a lot of what happened and the resolution left me feeling impartial and unaffected.Well here is a lake that conjures dark mystery in the opening chapters in this Australian would-be thriller
