Apium virus Y Apium virus Y "Apium virus Y" (ApVY) is a plant pathogenic virus in the genus "Potyvirus" and the virus family "Potyviridae". Apium virus Y is a recently described member of the potyvirus family. It was first found in Australia in 2002 in poison hemlock ("Conium maculatum": an immigrant weed in Australia).

One was a well-known potyvirus infecting the Apiaceae, "Celery mosaic virus" (CeMV). CeMV has been found in celery ("Apium graveolens") crops
Worse is better Rise of Worse is Better", Gabriel claimed that "Worse-is-Better" is a model of software design and implementation which has the following characteristics (in approximately descending order of importance): Gabriel argued that early Unix and C, developed by Bell Labs, are examples of this design approach. Gabriel contrasted his philosophy with what he called the "MIT/Stanford style of design" or "MIT approach" (also known as "the Right Thing"), which he described as follows. Contrasts are in bold: Gabriel argued that "Worse is better" produced more "successful" software than the MIT approach: As long as the initial program is basically good, it
