  • Black Country Urban Park Barometer
    3333333 Black Country Urban Park Barometer April 2013 DRAFT WORK IN PROGRESS Welcome to the Black Country Urban Park Barometer. Transformation of the Environmental Infrastructure is one of the key to drivers identified in the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness. The full report looks at the six themes created under the ‘Urban Park’ theme and provides a spatial picture of that theme accompanied with the key assets and opportunities for that theme. Foreword to be provided by Roger Lawrence The Strategic Context Quality of the Black Country environment is one of the four primary objectives of the Black Country Vision that has driven the preparation of the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness through the Black Country Study process. The environment is critical to the health and well-being of future residents, workers and visitors to the Black Country. It is also both a major contributor to, and measure of, wider goals for sustainable development and living as well as being significantly important to the economy of the region. The importance and the desire for transforming the Black Country environment has been reinforced through the evidence gathering and analysis of the Black Country Study process as both an aspiration in its own right and as a necessity to achieve economic prosperity. Evidence from the Economic and Housing Studies concluded that ‘the creation of new environments will be crucial for attracting investment from high value-added firms’ and similarly that ‘a high quality healthy environment is a priority for ‘knowledge workers’. The Economic Strategy puts ‘Environmental Transformation’ alongside Education & Skills as the fundamental driver to achieve Black Country economic renaissance and prosperity for its people.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G. Dalton in the comfort of his easy chair at 1111 N – 2000 W Farr West, Utah in the United States of America in the Twenty First-Century A.D.

  • House of Pilkington
    House of Pilkington History/Background Our Pilkington Pedigree Pilkington Appendix The Pilkington family has its origins in the ancient township of Pilkington in the historic county of Lancashire, England. After about 1405 the family seat was Stand Old Hall which was built to replace Old Hall in Pilkington. The new hall was built on high land overlooking Pilkington's medieval deer park. Stand Old Hall was replaced by Stand Hall to the south in 1515 after the Pilkingtons were dispossessed. Stand Old Hall became a barn. It is possible that Sir Thomas Pilkington had permission to “embattle” his manor house in 1470 building a stone tower. It was a ruin by the 1950s and demolished in the early 1960s. The Pilkington name is taken from the manor of Pilkington in Prestwich, Lancashire. The Pilkington arms consist of an argent cross patonce voided gules. The Pilkington crest has a mower with his scythe and has a legend that an ancestor of the family, being sought at the time of the Norman Conquest, disguised himself as a mower + and escaped. Ye Olde Man & Scythe Inn in Bolton derives its name from the reaper using a scythe on the family crest. The crest was first recorded on a seal from 1424. Throughout the county there were a number of branches of the family, including those from Rivington Hall, Rivington near Chorley and from Windle Hall near St Helens, founders of the Pilkington glass manufacturers. The first known is Alexander de Pilkington, who was recorded in 1200 and held the manor in 1212. In 1212 Pilkingtons held Rivington in Bolton-le-Moors, which became the home of a junior branch of the family.

  • Southwestern Rare and Endangered Plants: Proceedings of the Fourth
    Conservation Implications of Spur Length Variation in Long-Spur Columbines (Aquilegia longissima) CHRISTOPHER J. STUBBEN AND BROOK G. MILLIGAN Department of Biology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003 ABSTRACT: Populations of long-spur columbine (Aquilegia longissima) with spurs 10-16 cm long are known only from a few populations in Texas, a historical collection near Baboquivari Peak, Arizona, and scattered populations in Coahuila, Chihuahua, and Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Populations of yellow columbine with spurs 7-10 cm long are also found in Arizona, Texas, and Mexico, and are now classified as A. longissima in the recent Flora of North America. In a multivariate analysis of floral characters from 11 yellow columbine populations representing a continuous range of spur lengths, populations with spurs 10-16 cm long are clearly separate from other populations based on increasing spur length and decreasing petal and sepal width. The longer-spurred columbines generally flower after monsoon rains in late summer or fall, and occur in intermittently wet canyons and steep slopes in pine-oak forests. Also, longer-spurred flowers can be pollinated by large hawkmoths with tongues 9-15 cm long. Populations with spurs 7-10 cm long cluster with the common golden columbine (A. chrysantha), and may be the result of hybridization between A. chrysantha and A. longissima. Uncertainty about the taxonomic status of intermediates has contributed to a lack of conservation efforts for declining populations of the long-spur columbine. The genus Aquilegia is characterized are difficult to identify accurately in by a wide diversity of floral plant keys. For example, floral spurs morphologies and colors that play a lengths are a key character used to major role in isolating two species via differentiate yellow columbine species in differences in pollinator visitation or the Southwest.

  • Geraniums Each Year the National Garden Bureau Selects One fl Ower and One Vegetable to Be Showcased
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 17 Feb 2012 NGB’s Annual of the Year 2012: Geraniums Each year the National Garden Bureau selects one fl ower and one vegetable to be showcased. These crops are chosen because they are popular, easy-to-grow, widely adaptable, genetically diverse, and versatile. For 2012 they chose garden geraniums (Pelargonium spp.) Introduction and Nomenclature The bedding plants gardeners plant out in late spring and bring inside in autumn are commonly known as geraniums; but geraniums they are not. They are pelargoniums. True geraniums are the cranesbills, hardy North American and European herbaceous perennials; while pelargoniums are semi-tender or tender plants, mostly from South Africa, that have graced our gardens with their large fl owers for Geraniums are popluar bedding decades. plants. We have to remember that botany wasn’t an exact science in the 17th century when the fi rst geraniums and pelargoniums were introduced. So, based on the shape of their fruit, plant collectors generally lumped both together as “geranium.” To tackle the complex history of geranium or pelargonium, one has to confront the use of common names versus scientifi c ones. Scientifi c names give individuals a common language by which they could communicate with other people, no matter the country they are from or what their mother tongue might be. In 1753 the famous and infl uential Swedish botanist, Linnaeus, published his two-volume book called Species Pelargonium quercifolium fl ower (L) and leaf (R). Plantarum, in which he attempted to pull together the names and descriptions of all known plants.

  • A Short History of the Dudley & Midland
    A Short History of the Dudley & Midland Geological Societies A Cutler Summary The history and development of the Dudley Geological Societies is traced with the aid of published transactions and other manuscript material. Both Societies established geological museums in Dudley, the surviving collections of which are now in the care of the Local Authority. Introduction It is not common knowledge that a geological society existed in the Black Country during the nineteenth century and probably even less so that there were two societies at different periods, which shared similar titles. That these societies existed at all should come as no surprise. The nineteenth century was a period of great scientific advancement and popular interest in all sciences was high. The period too was one of great industrial activity particularly in the Black Country and geological problems of a very practical nature relating to mining served to make the societies ideal forums for all interested parties. They were both typical nineteenth century scientific societies and possessed many essentially amateur members. But their contribution to Black Country geology was certainly not amateur and has proved to be of lasting value. The Original Society The original or first society (even referred to as the parent society in later references) was formed in 1841 and quickly attracted a most impressive total of 150 subscribing members. Lord Ward accepted the office of President and some thirty local industrialists, geologists and Members of Parliament became Vice- Presidents. The list of patrons included no less than thirteen peers of the realm, three Lord Bishops and Sir Robert Peel who is perhaps more well known for his association with the first constabularies.
