Distributed Urban Agriculture
While the majority of the population now lives in urban areas, the vast majority of our food still comes from far distant rural farms using increasingly destructive strategies to maximize their yield. All of a sudden, however, technology and the market are giving producers the opportunity to scale urban agriculture up to help make cities sustainable. Innovations in remote sensing, data conglomeration, irrigation design, and lighting are enabling farmers to grow healthy produce on a tiny footprint with fewer dangerous chemicals. In the process, urban farmers can reuse waste as construction material and fertilizer, while operating farms distributed throughout cities in derelict and underutilized spaces.

University of Michigan Professor of Robotics Chad Jenkins, center, speaks with attendees on day four of the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session at the Ford Motor Company Robotics Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, June 28, 2023.
Participants from Berea College, Howard University, Kennesaw State University, and Morehouse College spent the final week of June at the University of Michigan College of Engineering Robotics Department participating in the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The program, which began with the new Robotics 101 course in Fall 2020 being remotely taught to Morehouse and Spelman College students, enables instructors from different institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), to benefit from open-source resources available for new course development at R1 institutions. This collaboration provides students from HBCUs and MSIs with access to cutting-edge robotics education and helps promote equity in STEM fields.
In March of this year Robotics PhD student Jana Pavlasek and Professor Chad Jenkins were awarded the Claudia Joan Alexander Trailblazer Award for their work developing the new course for undergraduate students, Rob 102: Introduction to AI and Programming. Their commitment to creating opportunity in AI and Robotics continues to extend beyond the University of Michigan. In Fall 2023, Robotics 102 will be offered in this collaborative distributed format to the partner schools. This initiative will help to provide equitable opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to learn and grow in the field of robotics.

New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was distributed in the late 1960's by J. Hyman of Hove. The card, which has a divided back, was printed in Holland.
Saltdean
Saltdean is a coastal village near the city of Brighton and Hove. Saltdean is approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of central Brighton, 5 miles (8 km) west of Newhaven, and 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Lewes. It is bordered by farmland and the South Downs National Park.
Saltdean was open farmland, originally a part of the village of Rottingdean, and almost uninhabited until 1924 when land was sold off for speculative housing and property development. Some of this was promoted by entrepreneur Charles W. Neville, who had set up a company to develop the site. He also eventually built the nearby town of Peacehaven and parts of Rottingdean.
Saltdean has a mainly shingle beach, fronted by a promenade, the Undercliff Walk, which can be reached directly from the cliff top, by steps from the coast road, or by a subway tunnel from the nearby Lido.
The Undercliffe Walk continues to Brighton, ending by the Palace Pier. The buildings nearest the beach are the most architecturally varied, and include some influenced by international trends of the inter-war years, e.g. Bauhaus and Cubism, and there are some which are Spanish influenced.
The best known building is the Grade II* listed Saltdean Lido community centre, which includes a public library and the iconic open air swimming-pool, designed by architect R.W.H. Jones.
The Grand Ocean Hotel
Jones also designed other buildings in the area, including the former Grand Ocean Hotel, built using Art Deco 'ocean liner' architecture. Notable features include the internal staircase and foyer.
The hotel opened in 1938. During the Second World War the building was taken over by the fire service, and used as a fire service college. It was then bought by Billy Butlin in 1953 and became a Butlin's Holiday camp. In 2005 a theatrical production, Dirty Wonderland, was staged in the former hotel.
Shortly thereafter the main hotel building was redeveloped into luxury apartments.

Habitat: This species is distributed locally where larval food plant is found, mainly in limestone areas of the midlands and west of Ireland.
It has only one annual brood.
Flight Times: The adult may be found at almost any time except mid-summer.
Larval food plants:
Buckthorn Rhamnus catharticus
Alder Buckthorn Frangula alnus
Hibernation: Overwinters as an adult butterfly
The male Brimstone is often found quite a long distance from its food plant.
The Brimstone hibernates as an adult but often comes out of hibernation on mild, sunny winter days returning later to resume hibernation.
Life Cycle of the Brimstone
Ovum:
The bottle shaped eggs are laid singly on the underside of leaves or shoots. They can be laid up to a height of 4 metres or more, between mid-April and the beginning of July, but peaking in May and early June.
They are c.1.3mm in height and initially nearly white in colour but after a few days become a deep yellow turning grey before hatching. The egg stage lasts c.2 weeks.
Larva:
The mature larva is between 32-34 mm in length with a green body which changes to a blue-green on the lateral surfaces above the white supra-spiracular line. The body is finely speckled with black bristles as is the green head. Larvae can be found in June and July. The early instar rests on the upper side
of the leaf along the midrid with it claspers at the base and feeds by eating down through the
layers leaving the characteristic holes, the later instar rests on the leaf edge or along a petiole
and eats the entire leaf. The larval stage lasts for c. 30 days.
Pupa:
When fully fed the larva leaves the food plant to pupate at a suitable site - generally the underside of a leaf or stem in low vegetation. The pupa is attached to the plant by the cresmater and supported by a loose silken girdle.
Pupation takes place in July and lasts c. 2 weeks.
Adult:
After emerging in early July the Brimstone butterfly is active untill the end of September but does not mate and lay eggs until the following spring. Instead it feeds extensively in order to fortify itself for hibernation.
It has a preference for purple and mauve flowers such as thistle, purple loosestrife, buddleia and teasle.
Towards the end of September it goes in search of a suitable hibernation site.
The upperside of the male Brimstone wings are a clear lemon yellow but the hindwings have a slightly greener hue. There is an orange spot in the centre of each forewing near the upper margin and in the centre of both hindwings, and a series of small brown spots along the wing margins at the termination of each vein.
The female Brimstone has much paler upper wings with a green tint.
Both male and female have sharply angled wings and prominent veins and when at rest the colour and shape of their closed wings closely resemble pale yellow leaves. This gives perfect camouflage while overwintering among the holly, ivy or bramble leaves between September and May.

Anybody agree if Isuzu Philippines Corporation would
1: Import & distribute brand-new Isuzu Gala buses.
2: Expand their manufacturing facility to locally manufacture Isuzu Gala buses here with J-Bus's dicipline & under their license using Japanese machinery & parts to combine the exterior of the super high decker Isuzu Gala with the interior of the standard decker Isuzu Gala to make way for Isuzu Gala sleeper buses.
If Isuzu Philippines choose to make 2nd generation Isuzu Gala coaches here, everything will be the same, the exterior, the interior, the front & rear fascia, the bumper, the headlights, the side view mirrors, the taillights, the dashboard, the gear stick, everything

The White-throated Kingfisher, Halcyon smyrnensis also known as White-breasted Kingfisher or Smyrna Kingfisher is a tree kingfisher which is widely distributed in plains and lower hills all over India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Four races have been identified according to colour and size differentiation.
The adult has a bright blue back, wings and tail. Its head, shoulders, flanks and lower belly are chestnut, and the throat and breast are white. The flight of the White-throated Kingfisher is rapid and direct, the short rounded wings whirring. The large bill and legs are bright red. In flight, large white patches are visible on the blue and black wings. Sexes are similar, but juveniles are a duller version of the adult. The call of this noisy kingfisher is a chuckling chake-ake-ake-ake-ake.
White-throated Kingfisher is a common species of a variety of habitats with some trees, and its range is expanding. It perches conspicuously on wires or other exposed perches within its territory, and is a frequent sight in south Asia.
The nest is a 50cm tunnel in an earth bank. A single clutch of 4-7 round white eggs is typical.
Diet
This species mainly hunts large insects, rodents, snakes, fish and frogs. It is reputed to eat tired migratory passerine birds like Chiffchaffs where the opportunity arises. Like pied kingfisher, white breasted kingfisher also observes its prey from the superior position and the moment its within reach, a flash of lightening it catches it.

Avicennia marina is distributed along the east coast of Africa, Southwest Asia, throughout south and south-east Asia, and into Australia. It also occurs in New Zealand between 34 and 38 degrees south.
Avicennia marina is the most widely distributed mangrove species in Australia, occurring in virtually all mainland estuaries and embayments, including the southern most distribution of mangroves in the world, at Corner Inlet, Victoria. Avicennia marina has pencil-like pneumatophores and small orange flowers. Leaves have a silvery-gray under surface and a pointed tip. This species has three varieties, with significant genetic mixing where their distribution overlaps.
The other two subsp. are - Avicennia marina subsp. eucalyptifolia and Avicennia marina subsp. marina.

These images were taken at Shelly Beach, Red Head, NSW on the beach below the Littoral Rainforest. There are just 2 ancient trees, one of which must be many hundreds of years old. There is only one other small plant that appears to be now established. The nearest other mangrove species would be in Khappingat Creek to the north and west and in the Wallis lake Estuary to the south.
Although not considered a rainforest species I have included these images in my Hallidays Point Littoral Rainforests set of images due to the close proximity of the plants to Red Head Littoral Rainforest Reserve.

Zappa's Inferno
By Noë Gold
FRANK ZAPPA'S FULLY-EQUIPPED HOME RECORDING STUDIO is where he'd most rather be. "I never go out," he says, though his Laurel Canyon home commands a panoramic view of Los Angeles. "I could be just as happy if all this" - gesturing toward the array of equipment that surrounds him in this devil's advocate's workshop-"were in Utah. Except for the fact that the hardware and technicians are available in the L.A. area, and the stuff can be serviced here." The fact is, all Frank really wants to do is work.
Whether he acknowledges it or not, Zappa has been admired by guitarists for years because of the sheer free-flying gonzo-ness of his solos within the otherwise-precise organization of his compositions. He's always been a real Mother of a player. ...

Three Paralucia coppers in Australia, two are widely distributed in SE Australia, and a third, the Bathurst Copper (Paralucia spinifera) is known from a few sites in the hills of the central west of NSW to the west of Sydney. In Aug 2021 a population of a small blue copper butterfly is was adventitiously discovered by others in wooded hills in Namadgi NP to the south of Canberra, These were initially identified as Bathurst coppers and were as a couple of hundred kilometres south of other known sites. In Aug 2022, I went to a location where I thought it would like living and after some searching found them, breeding, another new location record for these insects. I found a number of other locations in the following days between bouts of winter weather. It gets more complex and interesting, in 2024 this population of butterflies was described as a new species – Violet Copper (Paralucia crosbyi) (see www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aen.12688) due to consistent differences between this and the original known populations of P. spinifera.
I guess this species has been overlooked, as few would bother going out to look for such a small butterfly in late winter in one of the coldest parts of mainland Australia at this time of year. A hardy little creature, until recently completely unknown, living close to Australia’s capital city. Just goes to show there is stuff out there to find.

Distributed Marketing systems, in the broader ecosystem of Marketing Resource Management, isn’t a simple shoe-in to solve for the challenges of decentralized marketing organizations. And perhaps especially due to the relatively young nature of the industry, both the technology, and the partner selected, need to be the proper fit to meet the challenges of such an organization head-on.
I thought about this while reading an article recently published by Adweek titled The Trouble with Back-Ends: Why Publishers can’t Publish on the Web.
The article highlights the high-probability of failure for Content Management System (or CMS) installations, even recounting a $20 million debacle at BusinessWeek that purportedly led to the publication’s financial demise. The giant takeaway from the article? There is no silver-bullet…..Every publisher has different needs for how they manage their content online.
Why do so many get it wrong? The lucky few were lucky….or they had enough foresight to think through all business requirements, and how the organization can grow with the platform to which they commit. For the unlucky? Over time, millions of dollars are invested – both in hard-costs and labor – which inevitably gets tossed aside once the white flag goes up.
So how can a decentralized marketing organization avoid the same pitfalls publications are making when choosing their CMS systems? There are a few key points that come to mind helping decision makers at decentralized marketing entities choose the proper distributed marketing partner.
Software versus Service – Does Your Partner Provide Both?
Perhaps the greatest point to look for in your partner: to what extent are they strictly a software company versus a marketing services company? How does your potential partner make a living? Let me explain why this is important.
Surely – no matter what type of company you look at, they must build, configure and maintain their own technology. The difference is software companies will license you their software (they make money on the software). A marketing services company, on the other hand, will provide you the software as a means to provide services to the field (they make money on the marketing services behind it).
All things the same…..which one is better? It depends.
Without a doubt, the number one rule in running a successful distributed marketing strategy to properly support decentralized marketing initiatives is putting people behind those initiatives. This includes strong Account Management (to be guiding forces of best practices through the use of software) and strong field customer service (knowledgeable experts on the phone to guide end-users of the software and preach local marketing best practices). Typically, a marketing services organization will provide much stronger Account Support when compared to a pure-play software company (whose Account support may be non-existent).
Large Fortune 100 enterprises may prefer the pure-software route because they want to operationally staff and manage the entire initiative – including the whole vendor marketing execution chain behind the system. On the other hand, organizations that feel it would be better served outsourced, or simply don’t have the resources to add another operational layer, often require strong account management.
We often like to quote a famous line from Field of Dreams – “If you build it, they will come.” In reality, nothing can be further from the truth. You need to push methods for strong field and user engagement behind the platform. Either way you slice it – the general rule of thumb is that without strong support (usually with a pure software install), a distributed marketing initiative will fail.
An Ad Builder? Or a Marketing Platform? Know the Difference.
Second rule. Whenever the onus is placed on the field to finish the marketing execution chain, it impacts adoption (negatively). We often refer to this as the “last-mile problem”.
What do we mean by this? Many companies represent that they have a marketing platform, but at the end of the day, all it really is is an Ad-Builder. The user builds an Ad (in whatever medium – e-mail, direct mail, social media, etc.), but then he/she is responsible for taking it the last mile…. to an e-mail system to send the e-mail, or a printer to mail the file, or a social media site to broadcast the message.
If your system can’t handle this in a turnkey manner, deflecting the responsibility to the field is a sure-fire way to decrease use of your marketing programs/materials and lead to a failed initiative.
Concentrate on Your Core Requirements, but Make sure you can Grow
In consideration to the above requirement, the honest feedback is that no one company has “all-areas” covered. You’ll also most likely need to take baby steps on how you launch your platform and corresponding services to the field. Its a marathon, not a sprint.
In marketing, we always love to focus on the buzz words of what’s hot. But what are your core requirements? What does your organization spend 80% of their time supporting, or what is the most difficult challenges you are facing with your field? By focusing there first, you are solving for problems that are immediate and most important, rather than getting jazzed up by a certain feature that may have little overall relevance in the beginnings of your system.
That being said, you also MUST explore your partner’s growth potential to ensure your future objectives are aligned with the product and service roadmap of your company of choice. In evaluating your partner, to what extent is their core focus squarely focused on solving the needs of decentralized marketing organizations? What is on their product roadmap, and to what extent do your opinions matter in developing this roadmap. Is this their core platform, or just an extension of their system outside their area of focus? Is development finished on the software platform, or are their continued IT resources improving the technology? What are these resources?
By not focusing on core requirements, and/or choosing a company not dedicated to solving the complex challenges for decentralized marketing initiatives, long-term viability of your solution is poor.
In conclusion – always remember……be forward thinking about the potential growth of your marketing intiatives. Where you will be two years down the line will be a lot different from today. Avoid the pitfalls of the CMS landscape by understanding who your partner really is – and their philosophies on helping you drive strategy to deliver valuable local marketing solutions for your network.
