Stagwell brings Coconuts Media into its global affiliate network | Digital
Stagwell, the US-based marketing holding company, is making good on its recent pledge to grow in the Asia Pacific region through its global affiliate program through a new partnership agreement reached with Southeast Asia news publisher Coconuts Media.
Under the affiliate partnership agreement, there is no immediate cash investment. Instead, Stagwell and Coconuts will collaborate to develop and distribute an expanded media across the Coconuts network in Southeast Asia. In addition, Stagwell agencies such as 72andSunny, Forsman & Bodenfors, Allison and Partners, Assembly, Ink and others can collaborate with Coconuts' internal marketing agency, Grove, on joint campaigns, branded content and marketing campaigns. Revenue sharing will be split on a project by project basis depending on what is involved.
Coconuts Media, founded by journalist and entrepreneur Byron Perry in 2011, has grown steadily over the past decade, bringing online news and lifestyle content to millions across eight local markets (Bali, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila). , Singapore, Yangon) including documentaries and videos for major streaming services and networks such as Discovery and Netflix.
"We are eager to collaborate with Byron and the Coconuts Media team to deliver our leading blend of digital and media services to enhance APAC's offerings to our clients," said Stagwell President and CEO, Mark Penn. "With the opening of APAC's first-of-its-kind Stagwell headquarters in Singapore and the continued success of our agencies in the region, we are investing heavily in the Asia Pacific region as part of our global expansion this year."
In November, Stagwell announced that Senior Vice President of Executive Talent, Randy Duacks, would head the APAC office as Managing Director starting this month to drive "rapid growth" and expansion. The Coconuts Partnership is among the first such regional efforts from its new regional base. Duax . says Asia Pacific Campaign The two sides were mutually attracted, with Coconuts already on his radar for many years before connecting through the affiliate program.
"We are very passionate about coconut," Doakes says. "For us, they're in a lot of different markets, they're deep in social commerce, they have first-party data. It fills in a lot of the gaps that some clients in this part of the world have been looking for. They're very cooperative, and that's something we've been looking for."
While it is not uncommon for media publishers to collaborate with a single advertising holding company, the deal should allow Coconuts to tap into Stagwell's media services and research resources and enable the company to reach a global client base that it may not have previously had. The latter may be especially important as Grove, Coconuts Brands' in-house creative studio, becomes an increasingly important focus for the company.
"With our publishing roots as a foundation, we are growing our creative services, media buying and customer service business as a modern creative agency," says Berry, CEO of the company. "Partnering with a competitive marketing network like Stagwell makes perfect sense as we work with larger and more complex global clients."
Ally vs. Acquisition
What is important about these affiliate deals is that they are designed to be the first step on the path to a mutual takeover agreement. That's something Stagwell made clear when he first announced the partnership program a year ago.
"It's a nice way to introduce [Coconuts] To the holding company," Doakes explains. "We don't take ownership, nor are we saying you have to move to this office location. For the entrepreneur, if you want to keep control, that's the call."
Since its launch a year ago, Stagwell has registered nearly 50 subsidiaries, including other APAC firms such as Metric Design Studio in China, Enormous in India, This is Flow in Australia, and Hong Kong-based Beyond Media Global.
Highlighting how these affiliate deals represent an entirely different approach to "top-down holding company decisions," Duax explains that the program is designed for entrepreneurs looking for global opportunities to bring their own local opportunities and resources in return without the pressure of being forced to work for Global clients and projects don't want that.
Similar to the global partner network of purely independent agencies, the Stagwell group of companies is a network of entrepreneurs and successful companies that want greater opportunities.
Daux explains: "You have creative agencies in some of these markets that might have never had a media or research component. They might have a client who only needs to reach one specific market and they don't have that connection. But they don't. [yet] You want to sell it to a larger holding company. So it's an opportunity for us to see if the partnership is going to work and if they can do some of the bigger work that we can achieve."

This game is dealt out of a shoe made up of eight decks of standard playing cards. Each player makes a bet, and then receives a two-card hand, face up.

All numbered cards are worth their printed value, while face cards are worth 10 points each. Aces can be worth 11 points or one, depending on which is more beneficial for the hand. For players, the object of the game is to beat the dealer by having a more valuable hand, one that is as close to 21 as possible without going over. The best possible starting hand is, appropriately, called a blackjack — and it is made up of an ace and any ten-point card.
At the start of the hand, should the dealer have either an ace or a ten-point card showing, they will secretly check to see if they have a blackjack. In the case of them having an ace where it is more likely that they will complete their hand , they will first ask if the players wish to buy insurance.
This bet costs half as much as your initial bet, and pays out at if the dealer reveals a ten-point card. If that happens, the player will lose their hand bet but win the insurance, which causes them to break even for the hand. After players decide whether or not to take insurance, the dealer will do their check.
If they have a natural 21, all players lose except those who also started with blackjacks; those hands push. In all other cases, the players will now have the opportunity to play their hands. Players have a wide variety of options available to them, some of which are only available in certain situations.
Players can take any of these actions on their turn:. In this case, their hand is said to have busted, and they lose immediately, forfeiting all bets associated with that hand. Once all players have taken their turns, the dealer will resolve their own hand. First, they will reveal their down card.


There's a new Kickstarter campaign to renovate The Jennings, a wilted 100-year-old hotel in Joseph, Ore. And the individual behind the campaign, Greg Hennes, has some cool ideas to make the old hotel a destination spot for visitors.
The hotel has been a landmark in Joseph for more than 100 years. It's sat vacant or underutilized for more than 30 of those years, a victim to some unfortunate 70s remodeling decisions.
Hennes, who runs Clutch Camera, a photo rental shop and studio here in Portland, purchased the old hotel and plans to use Kickstarter funds to transform the hotel, with the help from designers and craftspeople.
So far he has Lisa Garcia, interior designer and founder of Soñadora Handmade, Matt Pierce of Wood & Faulk, and Brendon Farrell, architect and designer of Keeps Limited Edition, in the wings to begin work.
The Kickstarter campaign will help renovate the building but also give these designers a budget to buy materials. None of the designers are being paid. "Many are friends or colleagues of mine and they'll have complete creative control. I have my own aesthetic and each of these artists will bring their own aesthetic and make it more diverse," says Hennes.
Hennes isn't wasting any time getting started – he's already working on one of the rooms (when finished there will be eight rooms) and hopes each room, with each artist's touch, will be different than his. If the Kickstarter campaign gets funded, artists will begin work at the hotel this summer. The first room will be ready in early July.
Local tradespeople will be employed, mostly for specialized labor (i.e., plumbing, electrical) and Hennes will bring in local craftspeople, while artists will featured through an artist's residency program.
And then there's the retrofitting of the hotel.
Ceilings in each room at one point were dropped from 12 feet down to 8-and-a-half with a whole new structure with 2x6s and sheetrock. "I'll have to go through and disassemble all of that and rebuild a new ceiling," says Hennes.
Plans also call for balcony ("the only balcony in Joseph!") access to be retrofitted into a collective kitchen/dining room that will adjoin the lobby.
So far the campaign is doing well – even descendants of the people who built the hotel have contributed – but with only mere days away, it still hasn't met its goal.
If funded, the hotel will be a nice addition to Joseph and appears to be something the locals would welcome.

Take a closer look at pouring turbine foundations
By Paul Dvorak | December 31, 2012
Blue Creek Wind Farm, the first large-scale wind facility in Ohio and one of the biggest east of the Mississippi River, relied on Lafarge cement for turbines' concrete foundations and soil stabilization.
Lafarge provided Type I portland cement from its Paulding plant to Irving Concrete of Ohio, which built a portable ready-mix batch plant to produce about 122,500 cubic yards of concrete for the project.
Cement supplied by Lafarge North America played a key role in the construction earlier this year of the Blue Creek Wind Farm in Ohio, which is owned and operated by Iberdrola Renewables. One of the largest wind power plants in the world with 152 Gamesa G90 turbines, the facility has a generating capacity of 304 MW.
Lafarge provided Type I portland cement from its Paulding plant to Irving Concrete of Ohio, which built a portable ready-mix batch plant to produce about 122,500 yd3 of concrete for the project. The construction of 15 to 20-foot-deep concrete foundations to support all of the 328-foot-high towers with 2-MW turbines required 30,000 tons of cement. On average, each of these below-ground support systems used 60 truckloads of concrete (750 yd3), which was poured in two steps. A 2-ft. thick mud matte was poured first to create a solid base and then an upper pedestal where the tower connects was poured in step two. The huge bolts that fasten to the tower were embedded into the upper section of the concrete. Quality testing was conducted at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days to ensure a solid cure.
Lafarge also supplied 20,000 tons of Type I cement for soil stabilization of about 44 miles of roads, which allowed access to the site under difficult soil conditions and provided a base for permanent roadways. Because the rural roads were not designed to handle the heavy construction traffic loads, they were ground down, mixed with 5% cement at a 12-inch treatment depth, and then allowed to harden before being surfaced with asphalt. This made for a stable base that was engineered to handle the heavy truckloads of concrete and other construction equipment needed to build the wind turbines. "The rebuilt roadways will require a lot less maintenance in the future due to their stronger and more durable base underneath," said Tom Rapp, Major Market Manager at Lafarge. "In what is largely corn and soybean country, the improved long-lasting roadways are in much better shape now for trucks carrying these agricultural products."
Relative to the rest of Ohio's power generation fleet, the Blue Creek Wind Farm offsets carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.6 billion lb/year, which is equivalent to planting an estimated 138,000 acres of trees.

Willie M. Dean, Jr. says
Wind and Solar are great alternatives to fossil fuel sourced energy alternatives. The former erected in the Saraha could provide five time the entire world demand, while the latter at planned rates of installation could provide 14 times the entire world's demand. However, there are better alternatives: Nuclear Fusion, Blue Energy, Geothermal, Gravity Energy Storage and Battery.
There is a mistake in the numbers regarding the base of the turbine. It says the base is 30,000 tonnes and required 60 truck loads of cement. That would make each truck load 500 tonnes.
My understanding is that a 1-2MW turbine base requires a base of about 18m round x2 m deep. That equates to a volume of 177 cubic metres at a weight of 2400kg per cubic metre or 425 tonnes.
Richard Kosteniuk says
What they also don't say is how much carbon is produced, to mill,mix,truck,pour all the concrete. Also not mentioned is how these hole where dug. Also how much rebar and steel support material was used and how much carbon was created to produce,truck and install steel product. So I would bet that in the lifetime of one of these power turbines they will never be carbon neutral. Never mind how do we recycle them when no longer in service
The math in this article doesn't make sense. It says 30,000 tons of concrete needed, which requires 60 truckloads. A quick google search says that a concrete truck can carry 20 tons. 30,000 tons would require 1,500 concrete truck loads, not 60.
Ben Dirik says
IMHO… I think everyone is ignoring a few very foundational (pun intended…) factors around wind energy. The energy and resources needed to engineer, manufacture, transport, build, connect and maintain a single 2MW turbine are astounding! By resources, ignore financial costs and human resources because that is astounding as well, but just to combat the term "green", we cannot ignore the fact that there is a massive environmental impact in creating 30,000 tons of concrete… Just because these devices do not use fossil fuel to create energy does not mean they are "green". It will take nearly 500 2mw turbines to replace 1 of our 400+ 1Gw nuclear power plants in the world. This is only an estimate, but that's 150,000,000 TONS of cement….
This is a quote from a google search:
On average, to produce one ton of cement, 3.4 GJ of thermal energy (in dry process) and 110 kWh of electrical energy are needed [4,5]. Furthermore, manufacturing a ton of cement releases 0.73–0.99 tons of CO2 [6] which primarily depends on the clinker-to-cement ratio and other factors.
These numbers are astonishing. Let's not even mention the Steel and other resources needed, this is JUST to pour a SINGLE foundation for one of these things. Calling it "Green" is intentionally misleading.
We CANNOT consider these the "Future" of energy or how we will solve some environmental crisis.
Kenneth Anders says
Very interesting topic's, have been following the wind energy for quite some time. Our little big company is interested in working with the wind energy people. We are a small independent company located in Wisconsin, our expertise is in green technology we market resins that have bee proven and certified Polyesters Vinyl Ester epoxies etc. that have less than one percent voc's and haps. These materials can be used in manufacturing the wind blades in certain composites.
I know we could be of great assistance to the wind energy company's and would like to work with a company that would be interested in replacing concrete. SCP is a product that is not only green but has a life expectancy of well over three hundred years, YES! I said 300 year and has been tested and proven. Just think what it would do to complete the story of green technology used to replace concrete which is not green technology as we all know. Our product is highly chemical resistant and will not absorb water. We often hear about green technology that really isn't green, but is a he'll of a story that sometimes pulls the wool over the publics eyes and ears, its not right but we all know it is being done daily.
Oh! forgot the most important part, testing show's that we are 2.5 to 3 times stronger inch per inch compared to our competitors so what more could you ask for, if you or a friend has an interest in what this product is please feel free to contact me and I will be kind enough to send you specs and photo's and a power point.
IF we are going to brag about something let's all do it the right way, as best as possible including the truth.
Alan Blackburn says
I think that wind power is the future. It needs to be taken advantage of. We need to clean up the environment as much as possible. This is a great way to help with that. Solar panels are another great option. There is a lot of talk about wind mills and solar in Posey County In. Where I live right now. I think that it is a good thing, lots of people don't and some people doesn't think that it works. It does work. Change is hard for some people. We need to move forward. It is the future.

Discovering Our Connections: Was Fraidel Filshstein Gillick the mother of Joe, Louis and Jacob?
Was Fraidel Filshstein Gillick the mother of Joe, Louis and Jacob?
How Accurate is the Age in the Census Records?
My interest in genealogy started 4 years ago. When I started looking at pictures that my grandparents had, there were many people who were a complete mystery. Where were these pictures kept when my grandparents were alive?
One picture that interested me was Joe Gillick sitting on a park bench with my grandmother who also was smiling. It was rare to see my grandmother looking so content. To me that picture was a treasure. Who was he?
According to the 1911 census, Joe was born in January 1889. His father was Chaim Abraham Gillick. I learned this from the translation of his gravestone. Joe died 7 Jun 1956 and was buried in Sherbrooke.
Who was Joe Gillick's mother?
Fraidel Filshtein (born about 1856 in Ostropol, Volynnia, Russia and died in Sherbrooke, 14 Apr 1931) was remembered by her Echenberg relatives as being a Gillick. This is very intriguing since there are 2 brothers, Joe and his brother Louis Gillick who immigrated to Sherbrooke.
We do know that Fraidel married Israel Echenberg and had 5 children. Louis, Dean's grandfather, was the first born, April 1880 in Russia. This would mean that her children with her first husband Gillick would have to have been born before 1880. Joe 's birthdate would be off by 10 years from the 1911 Census birthdate, He would have been born ~1879.
That would mean that Fraidel would have married Chaim Abraham Gillick and was the mother of Louis Gillick, born about 1876, Jacob Meier, born 10 Nov 1887 and Joe, born abut 1879.
The further connection that links brothers, Joe and Louis and Fraidel was centred around Fraidel's third marriage to a widower, Samuel Genat. Fraidel's second husband, Israel, had died 29 Jul 1918 in Ostropol. The date was shown in the Sherbrooke Yizkor Tablets. Fraidel had arrived 20 Aug 1921 with her 3 youngest children, Jack, Claire and Isadore. She married Samuel Genat 28 Sep 1927 according to the Drouin Quebec Vital Records. What is interesting is that one of the witnesses is Joe Gillick. As well, when Fraidel died 14 Apr 1931, it was Joe Gillick who again was a witness. Furthermore Samuel Genat lived with both Joe and his brother Louis on 41 Alexander in Sherbrooke in 1935 as shown in the Canada, Voters Lists. so the level of association is clearly close!
Deb had done all this research yet I still can not understand how the birthdates could vary by 10 years and why Joe would not clearly state his birthdate as 1879 if that is what it was? I went back to Dean who knew Joe, who had lived with him. Dean initially thought Joe was just a few years older than his father Sydney who was born in 1908. With this new information, I asked him what he thought. He answered with the question he was reflecting on, "Was Joe Gillick 25 years older than my father, ie was Joe the same age as my grandfather? It is very difficult to tell and I am not sure. Joe was beardless and eunuchoid and it is almost impossible to guess his age. He was never referred to as uncle by my father but simply as Yussel. He was quite differential to my father because he worked for him, so there was a curious connection. I think that could substantiate a closer relationship than simply one of normal work.
We have not been able to find Joe's Passenger Record. Did he immigrate with another family? What all this reinforces is that dates on records are just part of the picture, that being able to reflect on our memories and brainstorm with others is so vital!

Babies are never too young to start learning about their ABCs. But baby drool and that uncanny infant ability to tear paper – and have a great time of it – means parents tend to keep alphabet books away from baby hands. Well, here's one very beautiful alphabet book that's made with the dribbliest, most destructive baby in mind.
Great design, custom printed fabric and made by hand with love is pretty impressive considering the super-reasonable price tag.
It's available at the Amanda Bergen Studio Etsy store for $19 and shipping is $10. While you're there, her blankets are also really lovely.

Recent Regulatory Announcement May Increase Leverage Levels on Buyout Loans

Further to our March 2, 2018 article, where we reported that Joseph Otting, the head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") cast doubt on the authority of the Leveraged Lending Guidance (the "Guidance"), the OCC announced recently through a joint statement with four other federal agencies that "supervisory guidance does not have the force and effect of law, and the agencies do not take enforcement actions based on supervisory guidance." Instead, they "outline[s] the agencies' supervisory expectations or priorities and articulate the agencies' general views regarding appropriate practices for a given subject area." In this joint statement, the agencies clarified that their intention is to "limit the use of numerical thresholds or other 'bright-lines' in describing expectations in supervisory guidance." These thresholds are more like examples and not requirements, the agencies said.
Introduced in 2013, the Guidance largely had been implemented by the regulated leverage finance sector as a set of baseline "rules" intended to reduce leverage. The Guidance encouraged pro forma leverage ratios at or below 6x and companies were expected to be able to amortize at least 50% of its debt within five to seven years of closing. However, with funding from regulated and unregulated sources, leverage for buyouts increased to 7.09x this past quarter, according to the LPC. This is the first time leverage has exceeded 7.0x since the fourth quarter of 2007, according to this source.

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State is a topic covered in the Johns Hopkins Diabetes Guide.
Initiated by osmotic diuresis due to hyperglycemia. Maintained by insulin levels sufficient to prevent lipolysis and subsequent ketogenesis, but inadequate to appropriately reduce blood glucose levels.
Associated with proinflammatory state, reversed by effective hydration and insulin treatment.
Usually seen in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), in whom it may be the initial presentation. Occurs rarely in children or patients with type 1 diabetes.

Married couples who decide to end their marriages often file a marital separation agreement prior to their actual divorce.
According to the reference, "Marital Separation Questions," a marital separation agreement is a document that is composed by a husband and wife and sets forth terms pertaining to various matters of their marriage.
The marital separation agreement often includes decisions such as the division of property and other assets, alimony or maintenance payments, debt division, and which spouse is allowed to live in the family home.
You may enlist the aid of an attorney to help you and your spouse with the details of the agreement. According to the reference, "Filing A Marital Separation Agreement," a lawyer can help you with the various legal processes as well as whether to file the agreement in court.
A separation agreement has no specific expiration date and can last for years, according to the source, "Marital Separation Agreements." During this time, you and your former spouse can modify the agreement, provided you both agree to the modification. It can also be modified by the court unless the agreement does not allow it.
A marital separation agreement is almost always approved by the court during uncontested divorce proceedings, provided the agreement is fair and neither forcibly nor fraudulently drawn up.

Greggs had a milestone year in 2018 with sales exceeding £1bn for the first time, while the launch of its vegan sausage roll provided a strong start to 2019.
The UK's largest bakery chain said total sales rose by 7.2% year-on-year in 2018 to £1.03bn, compared with £960m in the previous year.
Greggs has bucked the high street malaise in recent months, with strong demand for its breakfast ranges as well as its steak bakes and sausage rolls. It scored a marketing victory in January when it launched its vegan sausage roll. The Quorn-filled pastry attracted a large social media following and shops rapidly sold out.
The retailer said it had enjoyed a very strong start to the year, with like-for-like sales – stripping out those at shops open for less than a year – jumping 9.6% in the first seven weeks of 2019, bolstered by the popularity of the vegan sausage roll after Greggs sold hundreds of thousands of them in the first week.
Shares in the Newcastle-based company have surged to record highs during 2019 on the back of the publicity. At £18.05 on Thursday morning, shares remain about 14% above the start of the year.
Roger Whiteside, Greggs' chief executive, said the roll, which is now in every store in the UK, has made it into the chain's top five bestselling products.
Despite the vegan sausage roll effect at the start of 2019, Greggs warned of potential turbulence from Brexit. The company is stockpiling those materials which have a longer shelf life to cover several weeks of production if a no-deal Brexit disrupts imports.
However, Whiteside warned it would be harder to secure supplies of fresh ingredients, and said Greggs was examining what alternative products it could offer to customers if there were shortages of ingredients such as lettuce and tomatoes. If tariffs were imposed, that could also lead to price rises, he said.
Pre-tax profits rose by 15% to £82.6m in 2018 and Greggs said it expected to pay shareholders a special dividend in July.
Like-for-like sales at the shops Greggs manages grew by a more modest 2.9% in 2018, before the new year launch of the vegan sausage roll, compared to 3.7% growth in 2017.
The sales rise came despite difficulties with unseasonable weather, including the "beast from the east" storms a year ago, followed by the heatwave in June and July that weighed on the demand for baked goods.
Greggs also reorganised its manufacturing operations during 2018 in an attempt to better supply its growing network: store numbers increased by 99 during 2018 to reach 1,953 across the UK. Greggs has also increased options at different times of the day, including offering more breakfast options and hot food later on.
Trials of "click and collect" at some stores will be extended to lunchtimes. Whiteside also said Greggs was developing more hot meal options, including pasta, goujons, potato wedges and soups, amid talks with Deliveroo and Uber about meal delivery, which could enable it to sell evening meals, a potential new revenue stream.

Urbanization & Ecology – Two Sides of The Coin
By Dr. Alison Blyth and David Evans
In an inner city street a fox melts into the night in search of a meal. Maybe it will catch a rat, an animal equally at home among the trash cans and concrete alleys. Across the world, some animals who once lived among fields and forests are following the human trend for city living.
For other animals, our fondness for towns and roads, industry and parking lots spells decline and death.
What do these changes mean for conservation and how can we make the best of our changing environment?
An Urbanized World
Urbanization – the process of converting undeveloped land into cities and towns – has been described as "one of the most ecologically destructive forms of global change". However, urban areas are also the world's fastest growing category of environment. While wilderness and even farmlands are declining, cities and towns are spreading as human populations grow.
Urbanization affects every facet of a natural environment. Land cover, drainage, and nutrient cycles are all fundamentally altered, and even parameters such as temperature can be changed as buildings replace vegetation.
Natural habitats for many species are destroyed, degraded, or broken up into pockets. The remaining areas of vegetation are often fragmented, disconnected, and lacking in the mature complexity of a long developed natural area – all factors that reduce biodiversity and wildlife resilience.
Unfortunately, the areas where we centre settlements are also areas rich in wildlife – we, just like other animals, seek good environmental resources. We seek out running water, good soils, liveable climates, access to coasts and transport routes. These optimal environments are often also those with the highest biodiversity. Our most destructive form of change is preferentially affecting some of our most environmentally precious lands.
If you can't beat them, join them
Despite urbanization's potential for negative effects, some ecologists see the fight against the concept as a lost cause.
"As a species, we want to urbanize"
explains Bill Bateman, a behavioral ecologist specializing in urban wildlife at Curtin University, Australia.
"Humans have been congregating in settlements and later in towns and cities since the earliest stages of our history. The majority of people want to live close to resources and facilities."
Bateman argues that, since we can't avoid urbanization, the priority is to make the process work hand in hand with preserving biodiversity and wildlife.
"This is one of the most important challenges facing conservation today."
Embracing the new
The first key in building conservation minded cities is understanding exactly what effects these changes have on different wildlife populations.
"People assume urbanization is negative across the board, but there is actually huge variation in response depending on the animal in question"
Bateman explains. One crucial factor is that although cities represent highly changed environments, they also represent new environments – and sometimes these "novel ecosystems" provide exactly what an animal needs.
Bateman's favorite example of this is urban predators. Work undertaken with Trish Fleming of Murdoch University showed that urban environments can provide hunters with new advantages – for example, new and increased numbers of prey species as animals such as rats and mice exploit their own urban niche; and improvements to hunting patterns allowed by anthropogenic structures.
It isn't just predators who can gain surprise benefits from human changes to their environment. Recent work by Euan Ritchie and his team at Deakin University showed that southern brown bandicoots, an endangered Australian marsupial, are defying expectations to thrive on the outskirts of Melbourne. An extensive monitoring project showed that the small mammals were more successful in new and altered sites consisting of parks, gardens and road verges than they were in sites reflecting their natural environment.
A key facet in a species' ability to thrive in new and changed environments is their adaptability, and especially their flexibility of diet. Bandicoots for example, mostly eat insects, but aren't that fussy. Like their northern analogue, the hedgehog, they'll happily scarf down dog and cat food if they come across it. Likewise, the red fox, one of the ultimate urban predators, will happily top up from trash bins if a fresh meal isn't handy.
Greening the city
Although urbanization will always have negative effects on some animals – known as urban avoiders for their inability to live in human altered habitats – development doesn't always have to be bad news. Provided, of course, that it is planned with one eye on conservation.
A major aspect in improving urban environments is increasing green space. These spaces may be planned parks but can also be easily forgotten areas such as road verges and railway corridors. Ritchie's bandicoots were frequently found nesting in the blackberry bushes alongside roads. The simple presence of thick vegetation, even in this case an invasive weed, enhanced the conservation value of this human dead space.
Increasing green spaces is beneficial to humans living in urban areas too.
The WHO notes that access to urban green spaces such as parks has a positive effect on physical and mental health, while there are also pragmatic, economic benefits. Increasing tree cover in a city mitigates the heat island effect where reflection of sunlight from buildings and hard surfaces increases urban temperatures. And shade from street trees can reduce energy bills from air conditioning.
Urban vegetation also improves drainage and water run-off, reducing flooding risks. And of course, retaining local and regional biodiversity is not an abstract benefit. Humanity is dependent on ecosystem services such as pollination, and we unbalance that ecosystem at our peril.
Unfortunately, this message has not got through to all urban managers. Parks are closing because they take up precious building land or because councils can no longer afford maintenance.
Building trends lean more and more towards block filling fence-to-fence building design, maximising internal space but squeezing out green gardens in favour of a limited entertainment space. In cities across the US, trees are under attack due to maintenance demands, or complaints about the inconvenience.
The frustrating thing about this for scientists such as Bateman is how simple many steps to improve urban conservation could be.
"Road verges and railways corridors are an obvious easy win. We literally don't have to do anything, just let nature take its course. We'd even save money on maintaining them!"
Encouraging gardens, planning for communal green spaces, encouraging green building design and permeable land coverings are also all obvious options.
As Bateman says,
"Achieving more wildlife friendly urban spaces is easier than we think if we embed awareness of conservation and biodiversity as a normal part of life. We just have to want to do it."

I tried to cancel her birthday, but time marches on.
Today, Chloe is 6 years old! It feels a little impossible to me, since I tend to think in terms of where we're living, and Bria turned 6 years old here in Cedar City, too. Unbelievable!
Unfortunately, the little Birthday Girl is also very sick today. (You know Chloe is sick when she wakes up at 9:00 am, sleeps from 10-12, 4-9 and then 10-morning.) We got up this morning and she opened her presents from my parents and promptly went back to bed. Hopefully she'll be in better shape tomorrow, when Joel is fixing a luau for her. Her birthday portraits are just going to have to wait until she is feeling well enough.
Chloe is such a sweetheart, always wanting to cuddle with me and draw me pictures and write me love notes. She's been a night owl from the very beginning, and when she was around 2 years old she used to sit in her crib evey night and yell for us for hours. Whenever we would finally give in and say "What?" she would say "I love you!" and start the process over again.
She is loving Kindergarten, and her teacher is amazed at her love of learning. She is excited about everything, whether it's math, reading or art. She writes pages and pages in her writing journal every day and her teacher has to remind her that it's time for the next activity. Her reading has taken off in the last couple months and she is reading everything she sees. It's like a whole new world has opened up to her.
And then, of course, there is her love of art and her huge talent for it. She still goes through reams and reams of paper in very short amounts of time. Also markers and paints and pencils...she can use up a cheap set of watercolors in one sitting. Can't wait to see what she does with her passion. Just the other day, while we were in Las Vegas, she told the cashier at the store that she was an artist.
Happy Birthday Goose! I love you forever!
Happy birthday to beautiful Chloe!
It's bittersweet to see them growing up. Hope she feels good enough to enjoy some of her big day!
Happy Birthday Chloe!! She reminds me SO much of my Hannah. They sound like they could be 2 peas in a pod. Matter of fact--I wanted to name Hannah Chloe but my husband wouldn't let me.
Happy Birthday. I am sorry she is so sick on her big day. I am thankful that she is dong so well in kindergarten! You are an awesome mother Lara!
What a sweetie. Sorry she's so sick on her big day! Hope she's better for tomorrow!
Oh, she sounds like such a sweetie!
Hope she feels better soon! She is such a cutie pie! Can't wait to see those birthday pictures!
happy, happy birthday chloe dear!
What a bummer it must be to be sick on your birthday!!! I hope she feels better soon!
Happy Birthday Chloe!!! Feel better.
Time does have a way of getting on even when we're not ready.
Happy Birthday!! Hopefully she will feel better soon!!
Oh man, mention Joel's Luau and I start drooling. I hope she is feeling better for it!
Can't wait to see her birthday shoot!
Happy Birthday to Chloe! Sorry she's sick! Kelley has strep throat I found out today. The doc says it's going around...hopefully she gets better without too much fuss.
Happy birthday to you both! And what a cutie she is.
I sure hope she gets feeling better. She is such a cutie. Enjoy while she is still little.
What a precious little girl! You are a lucky mom.
I couldn't agree more. I hate seeing my kids grow up! Moxie will be one next week!
That photo is simply amazing! I wish you would come and take MY photo. You could probably make me look normal.
That photo of her is precious!!!! I wish many days that my daughter were still 6----------she is 31 now, so you are right, time goes too fast. Embrace her today.
Kristina P. is right. Chloe is indeeed beautiful. I have to ask you, Lara, where in the world do you find such fantastic hats for your girls? They always look so stylish. Seriously.
And who loves her more than the sky???? Mamah, that's who!!
Sweet Girl! Happy Birthday Chloe-We sure love you!
Oh no. Not a sick birthday. And a really sick one at that! Get well! And Happy Birthday!
happy birthday! lots of hugs and good wishes for all of you!


Recently included in the club for the " Most Beautiful Villages in Italy", Follina is an active tourist and cultural centre at the foot of the Treviso Pre-Alps. It is best known for the spirituality of its sights, which attract thousands of tourists every year in search of peace and harmony. In fact, the village is home to the Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria, a complex of great artistic value that is among the most famous and beautiful in the region. It is worth paying it a visit for the feeling of serenity it conveys.
Among the valuable works preserved within, there is the sandstone statue of the Madonna del Sacro Calice, which has always been an object of veneration and pilgrimage. The Romanesque bell tower is the oldest part of the entire building. The splendid cloister and small cloister of the Abbot from the 13th century should not be missed.
Follina is home to many craft activities, including the processing of wool. It was the monks of the Abbey themselves who brought this art to Follina and it was they who developed the activity of fulling, "follatura" in Italian (from which the very name of the place derives). Nowadays, this activity is complemented by that of silk and for art and design lovers we suggest the exhibition "La Via della Lana" (The Journey of Wool) for its innovative proposals.

Grimsby-raised MP Angela Smith among seven to quit Labour Party
She said Labour under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership no longer represented Grimsby families like hers
Patrick Daly
Grimsby-raised politician Angela Smith is one of the seven Labour MPs to have quit the party in protest at its direction under leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Mrs Smith, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge in south Yorkshire, announced on Monday that she had resigned from the Labour Party and would stand with her six colleagues as independents. It means she will not have to follow Mr Corbyn's instructions on how to vote in Parliament.
As well as Mrs Smith, the other MPs to walk out included Chuka Umunna, Luciana Berger, Gavin Shuker, Mike Gapes, Chris Leslie and Anne Coffey.
Dubbing themselves "The Independent Group" the cohort said they were not a new party but instead looking to break away from the "broken" party-led political system in Britain. They have all vowed to stay on as MPs for their constituencies.
Mrs Smith saw her majority slashed at the 2017 snap general election, diminishing from 6,700 to 1,300 votes.
Grimbarian Mrs Smith was born to working class parents and grew up in Waltham on the outskirts of the town. Her father spent some time as a fisherman before becoming a printer, while the politician's grandfather, Walter Smith, was a former Grimsby mayor and freeman of the town and her mother worked as an NHS receptionist.

She said, despite coming from a Labour supporting family, the party under Mr Corbyn's leadership no longer spoke to families like hers.
The former NHS employee and ex-Sheffield councillor said Labour "no longer represents what we stand for".
Speaking at a press conference in Westminster, Mrs Smith said: "For my parents, working-class pride was not about enjoying poverty and wearing it as a badge of honour. It was about self-respect and believing that we could do better, that there was nothing wrong in getting on in life.
"Most people are like my family and do not want to be patronised by left-wing intellectuals who think that being poor and working class constitutes a state of grace. What they do want is a fair crack of the whip and an opportunity to succeed."
Labour MP Angela Smith was raised in Grimsby
The pro-second referendum supporter, speaking on the BBC's Politics Live programme, said her family felt "very sceptical about the current labour Party".
The 57-year-old added: "One has to be brave about this and move on. The Labour Party cannot be rescued for sensible middle ground policies. It is over."
She said she hoped to see a new party emerge with more centrist policies.
The University of Nottingham graduate said her experience of moving from Waltham Leas Primary School to Tollbar Secondary Modern School (both now academy schools) in North East Lincolnshire shaped her own political stance.
Do you agree that the Labour Party no longer represents working class people?
0+ VOTES SO FAR
Yes, it has all changed since Jeremy Corbyn took over
No, Angela Smith is wrong
I don't think the party ever did
Mrs Smith said: "I went to a village primary and was recommended by my teacher for the top stream at our local comp – it was 1972.
"Imagine then my parents' dismay when I was placed in the second stream. My mother was encouraged to complain to the headteacher who could not deny that decisions on the limited places available in the top tier had been based partly on where they came from. We lived in a council house.
"After one term in my new school I advanced to the A-stream but unfortunately the damage was done. I doubted my academic ability and it hindered progress. (That experience) entrenched my belief that nobody should be judged for where they came from."
Great Grimsby MP Melanie Onn, however, did not agree with her fellow Grimbarian and said she would be staying put.
The shadow housing minister said: "It is deeply sad that some of my colleagues feel that they have no choice but to leave the Labour Party.
"I believe that the Labour Party is still the best vehicle for a better society and I will stay and fight to rid it of the problems that have led to this split today."

At the end of January, members of the Talbot Heath STEM team competed in the Land Rover 4x4 In Schools Regional Final.
On Tuesday 29th of January, six talented members of the Talbot Heath STEM team – known as Scientia - were lucky enough to travel to Harlow College, in Essex, for a Land Rover 4x4 In Schools Regional Final. The competitors had to design and manufacture a remote-controlled car, followed by a presentation about the design, and finally, to complete a testing track for it as if it were a real Land Rover. Designed to inspire young minds to take an engineering route in their careers and to encourage more people to take these jobs, the competition was highly challenging. The TH team designed a people carrier to transport citizens in high danger war-zones, such as North and South Sudan. The vehicle was designed for safety and functionality and so it would be robust enough to fit its purpose.


Are there fairies in the woods near Green Bay, Wisconsin? A woman named Lisa wrote me to ask whether such mystical entities could explain the trail cam photo below that appears to show a 3-D light form surrounded by things that look like partial orbs reflecting light from beneath them.
Whether fairies exist in any form is not something I claim to know, I believe this particular photo is about camera lenses, water droplets and light refraction. But it's a good photo to study for analysis of these types of photos, which I receive from people every now and then.
The photo was taken July 19, 2011 by an acquaintance of Lisa's on private property. There was no apparent triggering event (motion or heat) shown on the camera. (In my personal experience, small animals often can trigger the motion sensor yet remain outside the edges of the photo.) Both the smaller objects and the larger, central form seem to be repeated and maintain the same positional angles in relation to one another. To me, that suggests a possible, natural light refraction…but of what? There is one, small bright spot near the bottom of the photo and a couple of other pinpoints of light in the lower trees but the light objects display a complex depth of field.
Let me also add again that this neither proves nor disproves the existence of fairies. Still, we have a beautiful photo to look at that is no less visually entrancing just because it was created by explainable events and materials. And I, for one, am glad that Lisa shared it with all of us.

"La Survivance"
Woonsocket's historic French-Canadian community
By the time the talented and shrewd Samuel Slater arrived in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1790, the race to mechanize was on. Groups of carpenters and mechanics, funded by businessmen, were urgently trying to move beyond hand- and animal-power —to catch up with water-fueled, industrialized England. Some even sent scouts "to try and get a glimpse of what was going on over there," says Lori Urso, executive director of the Old Slater Mill Association, steward of the Pawtucket site where America's industrial revolution officially began.
Slater had worked at a state-of-the-art cotton mill in England for seven years, starting at the age of 14, and brought with him both the secrets of its patented machinery's inner workings and, more importantly, a keen sense of their systematic coordination, required for successful, large-scale production. Convinced that England's textile industry was overextended, he aimed to leverage his knowledge abroad. "Like so many others, he came to the New World for opportunity," says Urso, "and he must have known what he was doing, taking the information out of England, because he didn't tell anyone else—not even his mother—that he was leaving. So, over there, he is 'Slater the traitor,' and here he is 'the father of American manufactures.'"

Visitors to the Old Slater Mill National Historic Landmark also learn that, contrary to popular myth, he didn't accomplish that alone. The Blackstone River, which runs 48 miles from Worcester, Massachusetts, through Pawtucket, ultimately emptying into Narragansett Bay, was already powering valley farms, cottage industries, and artisans' workshops during the colonial era. Landing in New York in 1789, Slater heard about promising efforts in Pawtucket (a hub for the region's best ironworkers, mechanics, and carpenters) to advance existing spinning jennies; he traveled there to meet prominent Quaker and businessman Moses Brown, and quickly went to work with the machinist and brilliant inventor David Wilkinson and woodworker Sylvanus Brown, among others. Nearly a year later, guided by Slater's specifications for new parts, the group had built the nation's first successful water-powered cotton-spinning machine. Other preparatory machines followed, to break down the bales of raw cotton sent north from slave plantations, and then clean, fluff, and entwine strands (a process called roving) tightly enough to feed them into the spinner, according to Urso. Prior to mechanization, all that work was done by hand, she reiterates: "it could take a year for a mother to make a dress for her daughter." The new mill, built and owned by the Almy, Brown & Slater Company, opened in 1793 with nine employees, all younger than 12. That practice was common in English factories, partly, Urso reports, because children were nimble and energetic and their "quick little hands" could better accommodate machinery's moving parts. American child labor laws would not exist for another century.
That mill, and the larger White Mill that Slater built separately with Wilkinson across the river in 1797—which instead of filling custom orders pumped out cotton thread continuously, the system Slater envisioned, and split with Almy and Brown to pursue—became the model for more than a hundred other mills built in Rhode Island by 1815.
"The inventions and technology that first came out of that little Pawtucket building changed this entire valley landscape from farms into mills, and then into mill and factory complexes," says ranger and historian Kevin Klyberg, of the Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park. "And then that, of course, just got duplicated and expanded all over New England and the Northeast." Industrialization and the economic booms that followed—the massive mid-nineteenth-century factory complexes in Lawrence and Lowell, Massachusetts, and Manchester, New Hampshire—irrevocably shaped core aspects of the emerging nation's character, and the lives of its people. "Mechanization determined where and how people worked and lived, and even how they thought about their own identities," adds Klyberg; especially dramatic, and ultimately (so far) irreversible, was the shift from value, earnings, and trades derived from products grown and made by families, to "an hourly wage for the amount of time people spent with a machine."
The 1810 Wilkinson Mill
That race to catch up and compete with England—price wars raged for decades as the nations vied to produce and sell the most goods—also coincided with the seminal debate between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton over which governing and economic engines would prevail in the new country, and America's push for independent commerce and trade. Definitions and measures of "progress" and "success," for both individuals and the nation, began to be standardized and, literally, weighed and clocked by the wealth-holders: the new textile-manufacturing and other producers who increasingly controlled workplace conditions and the demand for labor. Over time, Klyberg notes, that also led to the influx of immigrant workers, the rise of labor unions, widescale railroad infrastructure, and even corporate-like business structures: "So much of what we consider modern America starts in the stories of these little valley towns and villages along the Blackstone River."
Waves of industrial activity through the nineteenth century, he explains, resulted in "almost constant innovation, change, and expansion." During the first half of the 1800s, fights over water rights accounted for a third of the lawsuits filed in Rhode Island, according to Klyberg. Farms and food production also evolved fairly quickly, growing from subsistence farming to production levels that fed valley neighbors now working in the mills. The advent of rail lines and travel to the Midwest "meant that grains and meats could be produced more cheaply out there and shipped east," he adds, "so local farms went to eggs, dairy, and vegetables—perishables that don't travel well." Worcester and Pawtucket became the commercial hubs, but mills and factories sprouted up along the river and its tributaries. Industrialization, like the crucial power looms manufactured in Hopedale, Massachusetts, at the Draper Corporation (once one of the world's largest producers), spread beyond textiles to hundreds of different products: rubber, wire, tools, steam engines, toys, and paper. Production peaked in the post-Civil War era, in the age of steam, roughly between 1870 and 1920. But the majority of enterprises were shuttered before, or by, the Great Depression.
Efforts to highlight and preserve the tangible aspects of this early history led to the 1986 designation of the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, which covers 25 communities within the watershed, each with its own self-guided tours. The Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, established in 2014, encompasses six non-contiguous sites within that corridor: the Old Slater Mill complex, Captain Wilbur Kelly House Transportation Museum/Blackstone River State Park, Ashton, and Slatersville (in Rhode Island), plus the Massachusetts communities of Whitinsville and Hopedale.
Of the national park venues, the Old Slater Mill landmark site—which includes the 1810 Wilkinson Mill and machine shop and the 1758 artisan's cottage once lived in by Sylvanus Brown—and the Kelly House Transportation Museum, offer exhibits, events, lectures, and guided tours from early spring through October. Klyberg reports that the innovations at the Slater and White Mills were followed by "this wildcat phase from about 1810 to 1815 where—almost like the tech boom of the 1990s, when everyone's saying 'Hey, I got this computer in my basement, let's make a billion dollars!'—local valley farmers are saying, 'Hey, I've got six machines and a farm, let's go make a textile mill!'" That's what happened six miles upriver from Pawtucket, in Lincoln, Rhode Island, across from what's now the Kelly House. Local farmers opened a small mill in 1810, which struggled and ultimately failed. Retired sea captain Wilbur Kelly bought it in 1823, and essentially "personifies the change from a merchant economy to a full-scale industrial economy in Rhode Island, with the infrastructure to support it," according to Klyberg.
Besides the mill, Kelly bought a swath of riverfront property, and then parlayed his connections to shipping magnates and his assets into partnerships in four major valley mills. Adjacent to one that no longer exists, he built a modest clapboard house in 1835 for his son, a mill supervisor.
Now a museum, the Kelly House's exhibits and tours chronicle the valley's "transportation transformation," as Klyberg puts it—from traditional Native American paths and horse-and-cart trails through construction of the Blackstone Canal and the Providence and Worcester Railroad, and the advent of street cars. The Kelly era, he says, reflects bigger investors entering the industrial arena—envisioning far more than simply textile production. Horse carts and wagons had transported valley commercial goods, but Kelly and others, inspired by the Erie Canal, pushed for a valley canal, which operated from 1828 to 1848, transporting food, commercial goods, and even passengers. Photographs and a video help illustrate the massive, three-year, primarily hand-dug effort, at its peak employing more than 1,000 laborers—African Americans and Irish immigrants, among others—wielding picks, shovels, and wheelbarrows to create the roughly eight-foot trenches and fortified banks. The lock systems alone required skilled quarrymen, carpenters, masons, and blacksmiths to construct manual and mechanical systems. In time, though, the canal was supplanted by railroads, just as steam had replaced water as the source of factory power by the late 1830s.
The Kelly House sits on a lovely spot, with picnic tables and benches, between the river and canal, and along the scenic 11.5-mile Blackstone River State Park Bikeway, which makes use of the former tow paths. Within sight of the museum, and across a bridge over the narrow river, stands the 1867 Ashton Mill. It was built after Kelly's death by the Lonsdale Company, which developed three distinct self-contained mill villages: Ashton, Berkeley, and Lonsdale.
Trails wind around the Blackstone Gorge, in Massachusetts.
Meandering around the mammoth brick structure, it's easy to see how the valley's 25-plus communities were developed in relation to these lucrative industrial sites. "The companies built everything residents needed—the mill, housing, railroads, churches, schools, cemeteries," Klyberg says. "And when you think about it, that sums it up. That's your life, that little pocket—until the days of the street cars in the late 1800s, when people could travel a little more." The national park is gathering oral histories from families whose relatives worked in the Ashton mill, which was last owned by Owens Corning and produced fiberglass until 1983. It has since been converted into private apartments, but duck into the lobby to get a sense of the scale and architecture of the original operations. Then head farther down the road to check out the original mill workers' homes. All but one remain, and have been rehabbed for subsidized housing.
The Ashton Mill was originally a full-service operation, turning raw cotton into sheeting/cloth that was transported south to the company's Lonsdale Mill bleachery and dye house. In countless places, the valley landscape and Blackstone River were re-engineered to benefit industrial operations during more than a century; the companies also produced grievous water and air pollution, even into the 1960s. Federal mandates starting in the 1970s, however, forced clean-up efforts that would enable the area to start shifting "from being an industrial sewer to being a park land," Klyberg reports, "and that is really the current chapter of the Blackstone River: looking at it as a recreational resource, whether it's paddling or going on the bike path or coming out with a park ranger to take a walk and learn some of the stories of what's gone on here."
The Blackstone River State Park Bikeway, currently connecting Cumberland and Woonsocket, Rhode Island, is a terrific way to explore the region. Stop at the Woonsocket end of the bikeway to visit the Museum of Work & Culture, located in a former mill building, which chronicles the history and culture of French-Canadian immigrants who flocked to the valley. During its industrial heyday, in fact, Woonsocket was almost completely French-speaking (see "La Survivance").
Scheduled construction this spring and summer is focused on extending that bikeway, especially developing the new off-road connecting stretch (of less than 1.5 miles) between where it now ends in Woonsocket, and where the 3.5-mile Massachusetts bikeway (part of the Blackstone River & Canal Heritage State Park) begins. Eventually those two primary pathways will be linked with the overarching Blackstone River Bikeway, to run 48 miles between Worcester and Providence, linking to the beautiful 14.5-mile East Bay Bike Path ending in Bristol.
Meanwhile, the Massachusetts 3.5-mile bikeway in the Blackstone River & Canal Heritage State Park starts in the town of Blackstone and goes north, ending in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. The path variously follows the river, canal, and railroad routes through town and rural sections, with playground areas, benches, and places to break for food and drinks.
From the state park's Uxbridge base, at the River Bend Farm Visitor Center, explore more of the valley's restored natural beauty. Take the easy Canal Towpath trail, stopping at the Goat Hill Lock, or roam past fields, cross a river footbridge, and head to Lookout Rock for valley views. The state park offers regular walks and talks at various historic sites including the Millville Lock and the Blackstone Gorge. These tours help highlight just how prevalent relics and other vestiges of this history are in the valley, hundreds unmarked and unheralded. Visitors might also take the Uxbridge self-guided tour that outlines the town's textile history, dating to an 1809 woolen mill, the precursor to other mill complexes, like the Stanley Woolen Mill that anchors the state park's southern entrance. That 1850 brick structure now houses the multi-dealer Stanley Mill Antiques, good for relaxed indoor meanderings—and hunts for purchasable industrial artifacts—after the nature trails.
Wherever visitors choose to go in the valley, they will find evidence of American industry and Samuel Slater's legacy. He died in 1835, having played a role in developing multiple mill communities, including Webster, Massachusetts, where his grave at Mount Zion Cemetery is marked by a simple granite obelisk. "If we think of that mechanical history as a pebble thrown into a pond," Klyberg notes, "then all the ripples coming off it are what really makes this a rich story. And here we are, more than 150 years later, with people still living and working here—so they did something right!"
