Preparing for a New Customer Reality

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant, short-term impact on consumer behavior, largely driven by social distancing, health protection and concerns about supply of essential products.  People are buying more online in general, and purchasing more survival items (e.g. food basics) and sanity products (e.g. entertainment).  While much of this is driven by the current predicament, what remains to be seen are the longer-term shifts in attitudes and behavior that will have a lasting impact on how companies relate to their customers.

In light of the global pandemic, there are several core developments that give rise to questions around enduring behavioral change, including:

  • Safety and security. Although there are a number of factors that have led people in western society to become more mindful of safety and security, the current crisis could compound this mindset, and even more than in the past, bring it to a very personal level.  New questions will be raised about the safety and security of most products/services both from a physical and digital standpoint.  As well, the new reality could drive change in demand for certain products and services, and/or changes to the manner in which they are delivered.
  • Compassion and globalization. Unlike crises of the past, the current pandemic is global in nature and impacts all of us.  This could give rise to a more enduring sense of tolerance and compassion for others.  The sense that we are all in it together could have a lasting impact on how people view brands and what they expect of the companies behind them.
  • Social patterns. We are social beings, but that could have a different meaning going forward.  There are products, services and, indeed, entire industries that are predicated on the desire by some to gather in larger social settings.  Might this give way in favor of smaller groups, greater use of technology and other behavioral change?

In the investment world, there is now much speculation around which industries could benefit and which could suffer longer term in light of the pandemic.  While the main motivation is to determine where to invest for the long-term, the underpinning of speculation is potential change in consumer sentiment and behavior.  Some of the speculation centers on industries that were very quickly and overtly impacted by the pandemic.  For example, the travel industry had been hugely impacted short-term, and the impact could carry through to longer-term reluctance to travel or to choose vacation options that involve congregating in larger groups (e.g. cruises, all-inclusive resorts).  Less obvious are the potential impacts on brands where attitudinal and behavioral change could have a more subtle impact.  For example, luxury brands typically involve a more high-touch sales process; will current events lead to a change in this process or, alternatively, increased aversion to luxury brands altogether?  Similarly, will increased online shopping activity during self-isolation have a more lasting impact on overall shopping behavior?  Also, will online access to services beyond tangible products or simple transactions lead to expansion of what people are willing to do online (e.g. more complex service interactions)?

The prospect of permanent shifts dictates the need for companies to keep pace with where their customers are going, and how their needs are evolving.  A recent article by McKinsey & Company1 outlined the imperative for companies to think across five horizons for a return to normal, including a “reimagination” stage to determine the impacts and implications of any discontinuous shifts.  Already, we are seeing examples of businesses adapting to the current situation by reimagining what and how they offer products and services.  Food services businesses are delivering food kits to satisfy functional and emotional needs of isolated consumers; clothing stores are offering online shopping parties; fitness clubs are offering online classes; benefit providers are offering virtual consultations with health care professionals, and so on.  While these attempts to adapt to a new reality are admirable, it remains to be seen what changes will endure and what this means for going forward value propositions.

More than ever, customer insights will be needed to determine what the new normal is with respect to expectations, needs, behaviors, and the shape of future products and services.  Research can be used to start understanding and gauging potential changes to layer onto initiatives and regular processes that were in place prior to COVID-19.  Through qualitative approaches, observation and analytics, companies can start to take stock of how things might have changed.  Armed with these observations, new filters can be applied to assess planned initiatives.  Eventually, insights can be used to look for and guide the development of new opportunities that emerge.

Throughout history, black swan events like financial crises and pandemics have tended to have disruptive impacts on society and business.  While companies have to walk a careful balance between staying relevant and being sensitive to the harsh circumstances of the moment, those that are prepared for eventual change will have a better chance of appealing to renewed market sentiment when the cloud lifts.

Legal Updates

Philadelphia Ejectment Lawyer

A Philadelphia ejectment lawyer may recover possession of your property in four to seven months.  In Philadelphia, PA an ejectment is a legal process to remove a squatter from property.  The time frame is four months to a year depending on whether the defendant takes action.  For example, if the squatter is well represented or has a Philadelphia ejectment lawyer the ejectment may take longer.  If the squatter is not actively contesting the ejectment the process may be more expeditiously resolved.  Speak with a Philadelphia ejectment lawyer about expediting the process with a motion for writ of possession.

Unlike an eviction an ejectment is a civil action initiated in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.  If the defendant is represented by counsel you may be forced to respond to discovery requests, motions for summary judgments and depositions.  Therefore, it is important you have a trained legal advocate to assist you where the defendant plans to challenge the case.

The ejectment process begins when the owner or Philadelphia ejectment lawyer files a complaint in ejectment.  The complaint must be filed with the clerk of courts.  The complaint must lay out the specific facts of the case.  This may be as simple as asserting the Plaintiff is legal and record owner; the Defendant is occupying the property illegally; and the Plaintiff wants the Defendant removed from the property by sheriff.  A Philadelphia Ejectment Lawyer may add particular facts to your case and sue for monetary damages.  Once the complaint is filed it must be served on the squatter.  The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure require in-person service at the defendant’s home or place of business.  Once the defendant is served he has a minimum of twenty days to respond.  If the defendant does not respond that plaintiff may take a default judgment.  In order to take a default judgment the plaintiff must file a notice of praecipe to enter default judgment and serve it on the defendant via USPS first class mail, proof of mailing.

Following the default judgment, the owner may wait for trial or file a motion for writ of possession.  The court will schedule a hearing date for the motion. At the motion hearing the owner or a Philadelphia Ejectment Lawyer must lay out the basis for taking possession of the property.  The court will ask to review the certified and recorded deed establishing ownership rights.  The burden is on the plaintiff to prove a right to possession by the preponderance of the evidence.  The motion must be served on the defendant via USPS first class mail, proof of mailing.  An affidavit of service proving the defendant is served must be provided to the court before the motion hearing.

If the defendant has answered the complaint the case may proceed to trial.  At trial the burden is on the plaintiff to show by a preponderance of the evidence that he has a superior right to possession of the property.  The defendant may raise defenses such as landlord/tenant rights or challenge the validity of the plaintiff’s deed.  Often times a sympathetic judge may give additional time to the squatter to leave the Property.  It is important you speak with a Philadelphia eviction lawyer before litigating a case in the Philadelphia court system.

Philadelphia ejectment lawyer
Speak with a Philadelphia ejectment lawyer about expediting the legal process by timely serving the squatter, filing a motion for writ of possession, and case management memorandums.

If you win the case the judge will grant you possession.  In order to finalize the lockout you must file a writ of possession.  The writ of possession is filed with the clerk of courts.  After the writ is filed with the clerk it is delivered to the Office of the sheriff of Philadelphia to schedule a lockout. The sheriff will call the owner or his attorney to finalize lockout particulars.  In Philadelphia, the sheriff often requires the owner to provide four movers, a twenty-four foot moving truck, and storage for the squatter.

At the appointed time and date, the sheriff will appear at the property for the lockout.  The sheriff will inform the squatter he must vacate.  If the squatter does not vacate he will be arrested.  The writ of possession is posted to the door of the property along with a notice from the sheriff.  The notice states that if the unauthorized occupant returns to the property they will be arrested.  This will be enforced and any further attempts to interfere with owners possession can be resolved by calling the police.

Ejectments are common after sheriff sales.   In many sheriff sales the prior owner or an unknown occupant is living in the Property.  The squatter may disincentive bidding at the sale.  Understand that an ejectment is a relatively straightforward process and success is likely if you are the certified and legal owner.  Therefore, purchasing a property with an unwanted occupant may be a great investment opportunity.

Please note it may make sense to file an ejectment if you are unsure whether a squatter is using your property.  In such cases obtaining a writ of possession will enable you to arrest the squatter for criminal trespass if they ever come back.  Once you successfully litigate the ejectment the Sheriff ejects or locks out any would be squatters. Those who refuse to leave are arrested.  Therefore the ejectment is permanent means to clarify and secure your property rights.

Finally, in cases where the property was purchased at tax lien sheriff sale the squatter may have a Right of Redemption.  Pursuant to Pennsylvania Statute, a property owner who loses his property at tax lien sale may repurchase his property from the new owner for the purchase price plus ten percent subject to conditions.  In such cases you may lack standing to bring the ejectment claim until nine months after the deed is recorded in your name.  If the ejectment complaint is brought before the end of the redemption period the plaintiff may have their case dismissed for lack of standing.

Our Philadelphia Ejectment Lawyers have experience trying possession cases.  We have personally handled hundreds if not thousands of ejectment cases in Philadelphia, PA.  In such cases, Mark Copoulos points with pride to a success rate well over 95%.  Feel free to watch the informational video below for more information about the ejectment process. If you have questions please schedule a free consultation at 267-535-9776.

Steven Anderson Flips Out, Admits Business and Church Share an Address, Says He's Been Contacted by U.S. Secret Service (w/Update)

Weirdness of weirdness. I was only hoping to do one blog post today, but fate took another turn.

I ended back up in Tempe, thinking protest organizer Leonard Clark might be doing another anti-Steven Anderson action for Anderson's 6:30 p.m. service. When I got there, Clark was being interviewed by ABC 15's Tim Vetscher, but there was no follow-up, really, to the protest of earlier that morning, which I've already blogged about.

Since I was at the church, and since Anderson's evening service was about to let out, I decided to wait so I could ask Anderson if the U.S. Secret Service had contacted him since I spoke with him last week. Vetscher wanted to do the same, so he waited with me. I'm glad he was there, because he ended up catching Anderson's wig-out on tape. (You can see some of what Vetscher captured, here.)

At first, Chris "AR-15" Broughton's mom stopped by. She seemed like a very educated lady, though she declined to make any comment about the church her son attends, as well as declining to give her name. She would only say that she's a "firm believer in fighting illness, not people." She also mentioned that she used to be an engineer, and that she believed "religion is a man-made thing." All in all, a very rational, pleasant individual.

Anderson opened the door of the church, and Vetscher asked the preacher-man if he'd been visited by the Secret Service since last week. Anderson admitted that the Secret Service had called him, but his attorney advised him not to speak with them. So he declined their request for an interview.

Rudy Mills, the owner of a salon in the same mall as Anderson's church, had stopped by to find out what all the controversy was about with the church. At some point, Mills began to challenge Anderson, in a very polite way, over Anderson's infamous Obama-should-die sermon.

"You should be preaching the spirit of forgiveness," Mills advised Anderson, calmly."You should be preaching redemption and turning away from sin, not condemnation."

Anderson accused Mills of defending a murderer (i.e., Obama -- um, because he supports access to abortion, which is legal, btw), and accused Mills of voting for Obama, though Mills said he didn't want to say who he voted for. The pastor declared that he (Anderson) had voted for Ron Paul. (No surprise there, eh?) In the midst of Anderson's twisted theological explanations, he got off on an odd tangent, and I felt the need to jump in.

"The apostles told the Jews that they killed Jesus," offered Anderson, trying to make the case for the concept of extended guilt. "Were they the ones that physically nailed the nails in his hand? No, it was a Roman soldier. But yet he said to the Jews, you have taken Jesus with wicked hands and have crucified him.'"

There was a pregnant pause, and I was getting a little peeved by what I perceived to be this odd anti-Semitic turn, so I let fly.

"Should the Jews be killed too?" I wondered of Anderson. You know, like the gays, and the president, and everyone else who doesn't fit into his perverse Biblical scheme. Anderson said I was full of boloney.

"You'd love to turn this into a race thing," he told me. "I know how you are, I've read your newspaper."

I informed him that I did not regard Jewish people to be a "race." Last time I checked, Judaism was a religion.

In general, it's hard to pinpoint if people are racist. Actions and words are a little easier to snuff out. I think Anderson's said some naive things, but I haven't gone so far as to call him a racist. A nut, perhaps, but he's no J.T. Ready.

Anyway, I started to ask Anderson about the fact that he lists the strip-mall address for his church as the address for his fire alarm business. This really seemed to set Anderson off, though he eventually admitted that his fire alarm business helps pay the rent on the church space, that his business receives mail there, and that he stores some business equipment there. Still, Anderson insisted that his business is run from his home.

"My business is exactly one year old," he informed me. "And my business pays part of the rent in order to store equipment in this room. See this door right here...The church doesn't use this room."

I quizzed him on the fact that a certain state government entity has a listing for his church and for his business online, and that they both list the same address, though not the 2707 E. Southern Ave. address, which the church now inhabits.

"It's the same address because that's my house," he advised me. Then he accused me of wanting to plaster his address all over the place online. I advised him, in turn, that I had no idea that was his home address until he told me. (Gee, thanks, genius.)

Remember, Anderson is the one who advised me of what his home address is. I'm not interested in posting it on this blog. I mean the guy has little kids, and they can't help it if their dad's an idiot and places his home address online, then mouths off about the president.

Anderson kept poking at me with his fingers, so I ordered him to cease doing so. "I'm not the Border Patrol, so don't touch me," I cracked, thinking of recent videos I'd seen on the YouTube site RP4409, where he provocatively bumps into BP agents.

"And I touched them, right?" he shot back, referring to an incident earlier this year in which he was Tasered. "I think they beat the crap out of me."

"I think you provoked them," I opined. I mean, I'm against Tasers, period. But in his case, he could have easily avoided getting Tasered in that now famous incident by just opening his car door.

Interestingly, Vetscher told me that he had recently been visited at his home by a member of Anderson's congregation, supposedly canvassing for souls to save. We both remarked on how odd a coincidence that would be, for such a small congregation as Anderson's to have someone show up at his house. Vetscher admitted that he owned his home, so presumably it would be listed under his name

While Anderson and I were having our back and forth, I confronted him about it, and asked if he had sent someone to Vetscher's house.

"No, that was totally random, they knocked on every door on the street," he told me.

You should play Lotto, pastor. Because if your story's true, you're the luckiest preacher in the world.

UPDATE 8/8/09:

The Greater Phoenix Metro Area resembles Dallas circa 1963: That's the message national ABC journo Susan Donaldson James got from me Labor Day when she called about my recent run-in with Pastor Steven Anderson. Check out James' report on Leonard Clark's successful Sunday action against the Obama-hatin' pastor, here.

Local affiliate ABC 15 has posted some raw footage of Anderson's flip-out Sunday evening. I should reiterate that this back and forth with Anderson was spontaneous. Up until a certain point, I was just listening to Anderson talk to businessman Rudy Mills. Once Anderson started getting into this creepy the-Jews-killed-Christ territory, I started asking him questions.

2006 is the year Faithful Word Baptist Church was registered as a non-profit, according to government docs. I said 2005 instead of 2006 while quizzing Anderson at one point. But you'll see that Anderson seemed to know exactly what I was referring to.

I talked to ABC 15's Tim Vetscher Monday, and he once again confirmed that Anderson's church recently knocked on his door. One of the church's members, bearing a gun stuffed into his waistband, stopped by Vetscher's home while they were supposedly canvassing the area. Vetscher informed me that other doors in his neighborhood were knocked on. It seems an amazing coinkydink that they would just happen to go through Vetscher's 'hood seeking converts, after Vetscher had reported on them.

(Smooth move saving souls with a gat in the waistband, BTW.)

For the lady who thinks I put the red eye into Anderson's pic, come by New Times' office sometime and I'll show you the photo as it is in my camera. I wouldn't know how to put red eye into a photo. That's a new one on me. I'll give you points for conspiracy-theory originality, though. For the guy who insists the Jews are a race, he should try telling that one to Ethiopian Jews. Or maybe he should rent some old Sammy Davis, Jr. flicks.

Pregnancy-related pain

Do you have pregnancy-related pain?

We can offer safe advice and treatment for musculoskeletal pain during and after pregnancy.

You may find regular tasks such as sitting, walking, standing and working difficult when pregnant.

Almost all women experience musculoskeletal discomfort during pregnancy, and as many as 25% of all pregnant women experience temporarily disabling ones.

This is due to the tremendous changes undergone by the body during any healthy pregnancy.

Around 75% of pregnant women will suffer with back pain during their pregnancy.

Most of the time the pain is pregnancy related and symptoms will subside once the baby has been born. Physiotherapy can sometimes help ease the discomfort of low back pain, pubic pain or sacroiliac pain.

Women also commonly experience muscle and joint pain postnatally. The following are contributing factors which would benefit from physiotherapy advice and treatment:

1. weakness of the lower abdominal and pelvic floor muscles in both vaginal and caesarean deliveries,

2. long periods spent sitting whilst feeding the baby can contribute to tightness in the upper body,

3. the hormonal changes post-delivery and whilst breast feeding loosens ligaments, which are then more vulnerable to sprains and strains,

4. unaccustomed lifting and bending over cots, car seats etc.

Hands Tingling at Night? Physiotherapy Can Help

  •   February 5, 2021

Do you wake up in the middle of the night with pins and needles or pain in one or both of your hands? This is a common experience for many. Physiotherapists can assist you getting the restful, pain free sleep you desire.

What can cause your hands to go numb at night?

Numbness, pins and needles, or a burning, prickling sensation (also referred to as paresthesia) are symptoms of sustained pressure on a nerve and usually disappears when that pressure is relieved.1 Most people have experienced temporary pins and needles when they have sat on their foot for too long or fallen asleep with their head resting on their arm. The symptoms can also occur when there is a narrowing of the space through which a nerve or blood vessel travels, causing pressure on the structure.1 Some examples of this include carpal tunnel syndrome (pressure on the median nerve as it passes across the wrist), arthritic changes in the neck (creating pressure on the nerves where they exit the spine) and thoracic outlet syndrome (pressure on the bundle of nerves traveling into the arm from the spine).

The remainder of this article will discuss the causes, diagnosis, and physiotherapy treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) specifically.

What is TOS?

The thoracic outlet refers to the space created between the first rib, collar bone, and a group of muscles crossing the front of the shoulder. The blood vessels and nerves that supply the arm must pass through the outlet and under or through the muscles before they enter the arm. (See Diagram #1) At any point in this journey, pressure can be placed on the vessels or nerves causing the sensation of pins and needles or pain. Holding the arm overhead, sleeping with an arm under the head or extreme rotation or bending of the neck can narrow the outlet and cause pressure on the structures. TOS is characterized by pain, paresthesia, weakness, and discomfort in the upper limb.1 It is reported that approximately 8% of the population will experience a form of TOS.2

Click to see full size.

Diagram #1

TOS is classified as vascular (vTOS) or neurological (nTOS) depending on whether the blood vessels (artery or vein) or nerves are compressed. nTOS can be further divided into true neurological TOS which happens when a bone or muscle compresses the nerve, or symptomatic (sTOS) when sleeping positions, work postures or activities, or sporting activities create temporary compression of the structures involved.2 Evidence identifies that over 90% of TOS cases are neurological with the majority of those classified as sTOS in nature.2,3

How is TOS diagnosed?

It is very important that the true cause of the symptoms be identified to determine the best treatment plan. As noted earlier, there are several causes for pins/needles or pain and numbness in the hand or arm. Each of these must be ruled out as each will be addressed differently to successfully reduce or eliminate the symptoms. There is no one test or investigation that will consistently diagnose TOS, so the diagnosis is based on a collection of symptoms.1 To obtain a clear picture of the source of the problem, a thorough exam must be completed and may include:1

  • A history of symptoms including:
    • The location(s) where the pins/needles or painful symptoms occur
    • The presence of stiffness, swelling or loss of muscle control or size in the hand or arm
    • Any postures or activities that aggravate or initiate the symptoms such as overhead activities, sleep positions, prolonged postures (sitting or lying), carrying a backpack or other items, sustained elevation of shoulder(s), or repetitive use of the hand or arm
    • Any history of previous injuries involving the neck, shoulder or arm or chronic diseases such as heart problems or diabetes which can also lead to paresthesia in the hand or arm1
  • A physical exam looking for:
    • Changes in skin color, temperature, or hair growth
    • Pain or symptoms reproduced with pressure on the muscles around the neck, shoulder, or shoulder blade
    • The posture of the neck, shoulder, and shoulder blade at rest and during activity
    • The flexibility of the neck, shoulder, shoulder blade, elbow, wrist, or hand
    • The strength of the muscles that move the neck, arm, or shoulder blade or pain when testing muscle strength
    • Instability of the shoulder joint
    • Abnormal or absent reflexes or sensation in the arm or hand
  • Tests designed to provoke symptoms by positioning or moving the neck, shoulder, arm, or hand in specific patterns or postures

Physiotherapists are well trained to complete these assessments and design a treatment plan. They also have the skills and knowledge to identify situations where a referral to a medical doctor may be appropriate. Conservative treatment, including physiotherapy, is the universally accepted first step in treatment for TOS.2,3,4 Surgery may be indicated when conservative treatment is unsuccessful,2,3,4 and may be the first option in the presence of vascular TOS due to the presence of a structural abnormality such as a cervical rib; however, the success and appropriateness of surgical intervention is controversial.

How can physiotherapy help?

Based on the assessment findings, a physiotherapist will design a rehabilitation program that focuses on reducing symptoms and correcting muscle or postural imbalances and misalignments.

Many individuals experiencing TOS have had symptoms for a long period of time and require assistance to understand TOS, become aware of what aggravates or relieves their symptoms, and strategies to reduce these symptoms allowing them to manage or prevent issues in the future.3 An individualized rehabilitation plan may include:3

  • Posture re-education and exercises to improve both resting and active postures
  • A home program of strengthening and stretching exercises to improve the strength and movement at the shoulder and shoulder blade muscles focusing on improving the control and efficiency of the shoulder girdle3,4
  • Hands-on therapy to the neck, thoracic spine, shoulder, and other associated structures to address any misalignments or stiffness may be performed by the physiotherapist, with self-mobilization techniques taught as part of a home program3,4
  • Recommendations for modification of workplace ergonomics, resting positions and sleep postures and education about strategies to address postures and activities that may bring on symptoms or make them worse.3,4

If you are experiencing frequent episodes of pins/needles, numbness, and/or pain in your arm, hand, obtaining a physiotherapy assessment is a great place to start your journey to manage your symptoms.

Urban Placemaking

Pickard Chilton’s approach to the design of any project is driven by Eliel Saarinen’s conviction to, “Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context—a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.”

We craft each element with the innate understanding that the interrelationships between the massing, materials, and interior and exterior spaces are ultimately experienced by people, and, as such, every facet should foster long-term well-being and enjoyment. Creating a more-than-the-sum-of-its-parts architecture, these environments support excellence in placemaking for communities, creating new communal opportunities, and raising expectations for quality in the built environment.

Pickard Chilton strives to create built environments that fully satisfy our client’s ambitions while exceeding the expectations of those who will live, visit, and work in and around our projects. We believe that buildings are not static and that they exist in dynamic environments inhabited by people. One of the lessons of building such projects is that the innovative ideas that emerge from the community can often give a building a flexible or defining feature that makes it both respond to and influence downtown development – resulting in a project that truly belongs to its community and city.

Each project tries to create within the greater urban context community-oriented public spaces that are human-scaled and teem with new vitality. Our deep experience and success in realizing these types of public spaces are exemplified in recently completed urban projects that include Devon Energy Center in Oklahoma City; Eighth Avenue Place in Calgary; 609 Main in Houston; River Point and 300 North LaSalle in Chicago; 1180 Peachtree in Atlanta; CalPERS Headquarters Complex in Sacramento; and Global Gateway Shinagawa, currently under construction in Tokyo, Japan.

Pure Style in the Garden

Pure Style in the Garden

Creating An Outdoor Haven

Turn your outdoor space into a beautiful retreat (and bring some beauty indoors)

Increasingly, outdoor spaces are becoming our haven – somewhere to breathe again, heighten our senses and escape  the onslaught of noise, clutter and technology. This book offers ideas and inspiration for making the most of any outdoor space we might have – whether it is a garden, a patio, balcony, or even just a window box – and for bringing touches of nature indoors for mindful enjoyment.

Bestselling author Jane Cumberbatch's 'Pure Style' philosophy is all about making the most of what’s around you and finding beauty in the simple and everyday as an achievable alternative to the stressful demands of consumer society. In this book, which was put together over the course of 2020, she draws on the inspiration of her own home and garden to supply ideas for life-affirming colour, scent and texture, and to show how even the most unpromising outdoor space can be a source of sensuous renewal.

Viewing the garden as an extension of the home, and with ideas for all seasons, this beautiful and inspiring book is illustrated with glorious photographs and enchanting paintings by the author herself.

A book for dipping into or enjoying as one long read, or both.

Jane Cumberbatch is a designer, stylist and writer, and the originator of the philosophy 'Pure Style', which emphasizes simplicity, thrift and longevity. She has worked as decorating editor for House and Garden magazine, Elle Decoration and the Sunday Telegraph magazine. She is the author of many books, including Pure Style (Rylands, Peters and Small, 1996), Pure Colour (Pavilion, 2015) and the cookbook Pure Style: Recipes for Every Day (Pavilion, 2011). Her south London home is frequently used for location shoots for magazines and TV.

The garden is a place to be as much as a place to grow things in.

The time for planning and dreaming. And what to do in winter.

First shoots. What to do in spring.

Summer of colour and scent. What to do in summer.

Long shadows and vivid plants. What to do in autumn.

Glossary, sources of inspiration, places to go, index, acknowledgements

"With the health benefits of gardens and gardening becoming more widely accepted over the last troubled months, this is just the book for our time...she packs in information, with practical gardening tips such as hints on the thorny subject of rose pruning, imaginatively simple recipes for home-grown produce, and suggestions for home decorations that bring the outside indoors."

The Gloss Magazine

David Urquhart Travel makes leadership change official

After weeks of rumour and speculation, the David Urquhart Travel Pipes & Drums have officially confirmed that Chris Armstrong of Airth, Scotland, is the band’s Pipe-Major.

Armstrong replaces Don Bradford, who led the band for the past three seasons.

“As a long standing sponsor and supporter of the band, David Urquhart (Travel) Limited hopes that the band can continue to grow from strength to strength and we look forward to many years of ongoing development under the leadership of Mr. Armstrong,” said David Urquhart, managing director of the band’s sponsorship company. “The promotion of opportunity to younger persons allowing them to release their potential, is of paramount importance to the company.”

The band referred to Bradford as a “temporary pipe corps leader.” Bradford took over after the band’s long-serving Pipe-Major, Alastair Fletcher, resigned. David Urquhart Travel finished eighth at the 2003 World Championships.

“The band is thankful to Alastair and Don for all the effort they have put in over the past few years,” said Neil Whitelaw, band chairman. “That is all in the past now and the band must look to the future. In doing so, there can surely be no better person to lead the band into that future than Chris Armstrong.”

Armstrong has focused his time on the solo piping competition, having won, among other awards, the Highland Society of London’s Gold Medal for piobaireachd at the Northern Meeting in 2003, and the Former Winners MSR at the Argyllshire Gathering in 2002. A prolific composer, his tunes and playing are featured on two solo recordings.

“I’ve been asked to do the job and I’m doing it,” Armstrong commented. “I’m just taking my time, there’s no hassle; there’s no pressure.”

Bradford is reportedly attempting to assemble a new Grade 1 band with former Royal Ulster Constabulary leading drummer Gary Corkin.

Breast / Breast Rekonstruktion

Breast teconstruction after breast cancer  (Mastectomy)

In some breast cancer patients, the complete removal of the breast (mastectomy) is a necessary part of the treatment. Today, various surgical methods help us reconstruct the breast, including gel-filled silicone implants, tissue flap procedures (own body tissue), or a combination of those two.

Which method we will choose depends on the patient’s needs and wishes and the surgical options in individual cases. Medical decisioncriteria include the patient’s general state of health, breast size, consistency of the breast tissue, scarring, and other treatment plans. Chemotherapy, for instance, affects the skin quality and thus the choice of surgery technique. If radiation therapy is needed, it is advisable to delay the reconstruction.

The timing of breast reconstruction varies greatly. It can be performed during a mastectomy or later, after the surgical wounds have healed and the necessary adjuvant treatment is completed. Some women prefer to wait between breast amputation and reconstruction, because they are not emotionally or medically able to undergo additional surgery or they want to be fully informed about the variety of options. We will be happy to offer you professional support during this process.

Breast reconstruction with implants

Breast reconstruction with implants is the most frequently applied method worldwide. Implants can be filled with silicone gel or saline solution (salt water). In most cases, they are inserted behind the pectoral muscle through pre-existing scars. After mastectomy, the overlying skin is too tight to allow a full-size implant to be inserted immediately, so a tissue expander is often needed. The tissue expander is stretched to the desired volume by gradually injecting additional saline, usually over several weeks or months. In this time, the overlying skin gently expands, providing enough space for the final implant. In a further operation, the saline-filled expander is replaced by a permanent silicone implant.

According to current information, modern, high-quality silicone implants pose no risk to health. However, complications such as capsular fibrosis or capsular contracture (implant hardening) may occur. In such cases, the implants must be replaced or removed. Young women in particular should be aware that removal or replacement of their breast implants may be necessary at a later point in time.

Breast reconstruction with implants is a relatively short surgical procedure which involves only few risks and has the benefit of no scars, except the amputation scar. We usually perform breast reconstruction with silicone implants in the nearby » Steigerwaldclinic.

Tissue flap surgery for breast reconstruction

Tissue flap procedures are an alternative to silicone implants. Flap procedures use tissue from the patient’s abdomen or back (rarely from other body areas) to create a new breast mound after a mastectomy. This technique involves transplanting skin and fatty tissue (with or without muscle) to the breast area, where the new breast is formed. Breast reconstruction with own tissue, especially free flap microsurgery is a challenging task and should be performed only by highly-qualified plastic surgeon teams at specialized centers.

The most common methods for breast reconstruction with tissue taken from the patient’s abdomen area are the TRAM flap (Transverse Rectus Abdominis muscle), which uses muscle, fat and skin), the DIEP flap (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) which uses only skin and fat, no muscle is sacrificed), and the SIEA flap (Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery) that uses fat, skin, and blood vessels. Tissue removal from the abdominal area could cause abdominal wall weakness.

In very slim women with insufficient abdominal fat, a GAP flap is a possible alternative. Both the I-GAP (Inferior Gluteal Artery Perforator) and the S-GAP (Superior Artery Perforator) involve transplanting skin and fatty tissue from the gluteal region (buttock) to the breast area.  However, buttock tissue is less soft and pliable than the lower abdominal tissue, making the shaping of the breast more difficult.

Depending on the size of the breast to be reconstructed, the tissue transplant could lead to asymmetric buttocks and long-lasting problems when sitting. In exceptional cases, skin, fat, and muscle transplant from the hips or thighs is also possible (Transverse Musculocutanaeus Gracilis Flap, also known asTMG flap). A LADO procedure or the LD flap (Musculus Latissimus Dorsi) uses muscle and skin from the upper back, but the amount is normally not sufficient to form a reasonably large breast. In most cases, to match the other breast, an additional breast implant is required.

In summary, own-tissue breast reconstruction is generally much more complex and stressful for the patient than breast reconstruction with implants. Tissue transplant from the lower abdomen and back results in additional long scars in these areas. Moreover, surgery takes longer, the risk of bleeding is much higher, and further complications such as partial or total skin necrosis (tissue death due to poor blood flow) may occur, making follow-up surgery necessary. However, own-tissue breast reconstruction offers a big advantage over breast reconstruction with implants: the breast feels more natural and the risk of capsular contracture is very low. Ideally, breast reconstruction should be done by removing abdominal skin and fat, which will have the additional benefit of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). We do not offer tissue flap breast reconstruction in our clinic, but would be happy to provide professional advice and recommendations.

Own-fat breast reconstruction (lipomodelling)

Breast reconstruction with fat alone (without skin and muscles) is not yet a mature surgical procedure, but still subject of research. Lipomodelling involves removing fat and the body’s own cells from the abdomen, back or thighs and injecting it into the breast. In Germany, this procedure has rarely been used, and when it has, then only under research conditions.

Nipple/areola reconstruction

In most cases, a few months after breast reconstruction, the nipple can also be reconstructed.  One technique includes transplanting a piece of the nipple from the opposite breast to create the new nipple mound. If the new nipple is too small, a small abdominal flap can be additionally used.  The areola (the darker area surrounding the nipple) can be reconstructed either using a stronger pigmented skin flap (from the inner thigh, for instance) or it can be achieved with medical tattooing in a specialized practice or outpatient clinic.

Surgery cost for breast reconstruction

Normally, the costs for conventional and established breast reconstruction surgery are covered by public or private health insurance programs. This also applies for surgery on the healthy breast to reduce breast asymmetry.

A vow is both a promise and a sign
That I am sure enough that this is true
To say it publicly, not just to you,
But to all those whose lives we here combine.
And so I vow to love you all my life,
To give you joy, for that is joy to me,
To be for you what I would have you be:
Each a home for each as man and wife.
I vow to give myself to that one self
Engendered by our mystical embrace,
And to nurture it through love and will.
For only thus we cross the inner gulf
That lies between our consciousness and grace,
Blessed by love, that makes good of all ill.

The time for love is now fast disappearing
As years tick on and flesh descends towards dust.
Death, so long a question, now is nearing,
And one makes peace with pain because one must.
Yet love still grips the heart with unspent yearning,
A hunger unappeased from birth to death,
A need for need, an unrequited burning
That casts its doomed delight past all regret.
O star that lights the else unlit creation,
Desiring ever what can never be,
Longing for some sense beyond sensation,
Candle to a light we cannot see:
Be for us now in these last years of life
The beacon that guides home a man and wife.

Well gang, the Super Trainer Showdown is only about a week away so a lot of this week's questions were about that.  There was also some info about WotC attending some conventions in July & August, and MT_Mike has landed a new position at WotC (congrats to him!).  Finally, in case you haven't heard, the Cross-Trainer Series that was scheduled for release this fall has been canceled (see http://boards.wizards.com/pokegym/Forum7/HTML/000045.html
 for more details), but the good news is that Southern Islands and Neo: Revelation are both still on track for release in October.

Just a reminder to all, I will be traveling next week on Thursday to be at the STS (I will be judging in the main competition) and will not be attending the Weekly Chat in person, so there may or may not be a Chat Report here next week.  If not, I'll try and get some info from it to you after the STS.

See ya there,

master_trainer_mike says, "Haven't been here much the last few weeks and that is because..."
master_trainer_mike says, "I have a new job here at Wizards of the Coast"
master_trainer_mike says, "I am now the Mass Market League Manager which means that I will help create and keep running the Pokemon League!"
master_trainer_mike says, "as well as some other upcoming programs (cough Harry Potter cough)"
master_trainer_mike says, "So, as usual if your league is missing any supplies or not getting what it needs, please send an email to
master_trainer_mike says, "make sure to explain what store it is, (location etc), who the gym leader is if you know and exactly what is missing and I will do what I can to make sure"
master_trainer_mike says, "the supplies get through"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #134 from chrisbo:
So Mike, since you now have a new title (congrats, btw), does that mean you will be spending less time with Pokemon or about the same?
master_trainer_mike says, "More! Just more behind the scenes."

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #3 from michel1be:
How many people have already registered for the STS ?
master_trainer_pat says, "Over 600 people so far have registered...yaa-hoo!"

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #9 from thundrchld:
i already preregistered..but when i called he never asked if i wanted to preregistered for one or both days... will it be automatically both days?
master_trainer_pat says, "When you call to register we automatically register you for both days...if you decide not to go for both that is fine."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #165 from chrisbo:
What time does pre-registration for STS begin on Friday night next week? Are you guys gonna be there?
master_trainer_mike says, "The check-in starts around 7:30 pm. We will be getting in that night but will be shagged out following a prolonged squawk."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #11 from
What time will the ECSTS start at on Saturday (and Sunday)?

I'm going to the sts and need to ask some questions.(1)-You can play in both tournaments on Saturday and Sunday right?(2)-I want to play and maybe earn some boosters for playing out of the tournament and My deck has 3 of this one card and 2 are japan
master_trainer_mike says, "Yes you can play in the main tournaments on both days UNLESS you win on day 1, then you cannot play on day two but there will be lots of other fun stuff to do if you do win"

master_trainer_mike says, "ummmmm"
master_trainer_mike says, "anything else?"
[CHRISBO NOTE: Also, if you have "Pokemon TCG for Game Boy" make sure to bring it to the STS too; you'll never find a better "gene pool" for Card Pop!  And besides, I still need those two "illusion cards" ;).  I've got a couple of virtual decks I'll play there if I have enough time.]

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #4 from dunjohn_:
why, when there's a small set like Jungle or Discovery, do you make two editions or the rares? It's good if you just want to get good cards to play with, but it's really hard to collect them all!
master_trainer_pat says, "There are a variety of reasons for this...one that we keep coming back to is that you can use the non-holo rares in your deck and the holos you can put away in your binder for collecting. Also, the sets are really small to start with."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #31 from darkchumaster:
Does discovery have any special pokemon cards like in the Japanese sets because i heard there is 2 espeon and umbreons?
master_trainer_mike says, "There are 2 different espeons and umbreons in the Discovery set"

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #109 from
Is there a Ruin Wall with a shadow of Pikachu and one with Raichu, like Japanese cards or is it or is it only Raichu?
master_trainer_pat says, "We just released one of them"

master_trainer_mike says, "Actually here is another announcement for you."
master_trainer_mike says, "If you still have not received your Happy Birthday Pikachu from your sent in Legaue Activity please call customer service at 1-800-324-6496 and we now have a complete list of all entrants. We will be able to help you get your missing card."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #179 from sd_pokemom: so is it too late to send in create a cards?
master_trainer_mike says, "yup, they were due months ago"

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #55 from great_1:
There will be only 30 Vending Machine series cards included in CrossTrainer? I thought there are like a over 100 of them in Japanese Vending Machine series.
master_trainer_pat says, "I'm afraid you may have missed the announcement that Cross Trainer has been removed from our release schedule. We will not be doing it now."

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #84 from pikachu89:
So, no Cross Trainer? Is the Southern Islands Gift Box still being released? master_trainer_pat says, "Correct, we're still on track for Southern Islands this fall"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #65 from trovtwo: So um when will there be a contest to get every promo? You've been hinting at it since the cows came home.
master_trainer_mike says, "Actually have you all heard about the Pokemon Gym at Origins and Gen Con yet?"
master_trainer_mike says, "The prizes from this prototype Pokemon Arena-like event will include a set of promo cards."
master_trainer_mike says, "More details to follow on the Pokegym and on next week's chat.,"

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #82 from daytongl:
What's the dillio at Origins?
master_trainer_pat says, "We'll tell you more later, suffice to say we will be there and there will be a chance to earn alot of promos and foils"
master_trainer_mike says, "Next week I'll have full details for ya! It'll be great! AND you can come meet and challenge MT Pat, DMT Mike, and me MT Mike!"

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #108 from chrisbo:
Can you tell us when & where Origins & GenCon are going to be?
master_trainer_pat says, "Origins is in Columbus, OH July 5th-8th and Gen Con is in Milwaukee, WI Aug 2nd-5th"
master_trainer_mike says, "Come win LOTS of cards!"
master_trainer_pat says, "Be there or be..."
master_trainer_mike says, "Show your skill!"
master_trainer_pat says, "yea"
master_trainer_mike says, "Meet the MTs!"

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #126 from daytongl:
Origins: Week of July 4, Columbus, Ohio @ the Columbus Convention center
master_trainer_pat says, "right."

master_trainer_mike says, "Thank you all for coming!"
master_trainer_mike says, "We will have full details on Pokemon at Origins and Gen Con next week!"
master_trainer_pat says, "See you all next week. Later."

Disasters can bury survivors in unstable rubble. Finding those victims may one day fall to small robots–but living insects enhanced with electronic parts could do the same job sooner. In 2012, researchers at North Carolina State University steered Madagascar hissing cockroaches by attaching electrodes to their antennae. Now, the scientists are developing tiny roach backpacks to pick up sound. “We’re trying to build a sensor network using insects,” says engineer Alper Bozkurt. “The aim is to detect calls for help.” The six-legged cyborgs will soon be tested at mock disaster sites.

How It Works

Cyborg Roach

1. Backpack

Researchers glue a 3D-printed mount onto the insect’s back. This base connects the insect’s body to a second block that holds the electronic components–including a printed circuit board that acts as a microcontroller.

2. Connectors

Tiny electrodes inserted and glued into the antennae stimulate the neurons that guide motor function. By zapping those neurons, researchers can control the cyborg’s movements: Zap the right antenna and the bug goes left; zap the left and it goes right.

3. Radio A two-way radio and a chip antenna communicate data about the environment, location, and nearby sounds. Computer algorithms can use this information to coordinate multiple cyborg roaches for search-and-rescue missions.

4. Microphone

Single or tri-directional microphones attached to the backpack capture sound and determine its direction. Algorithms analyze the sound to judge whether it likely came from humans. If so, the roach is deployed to further investigate.

5. Battery

A three-volt lithium-polymer battery, weighing just half a gram, powers the backpack. It can be disconnected for recharging; alternatively, a small solar panel can fit over the backpack and refuel a drained battery in less than two hours.

Dust Explosion Research Fuels Academic Pursuit

Chad Mashuga - Combustible Dust - Texas A&M
Chad Mashuga

By Joe Florkowski

Dust explosions have interested Chad Mashuga since he was a child – he remembers growing up in Duluth, MN and seeing television reports about grain elevator explosions. As an 8-year-old, Mashuga wondered, “How can grain possibly cause an explosion?”

Years later, Mashuga is still trying his best to understand why grain, and powders, and dusts, and various materials cause explosions as an assistant professor with the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M.

Mashuga has moved from the private sector to the public sector to better understand the science behind dust explosions and investigate ways that equipment and processes can be improved to prevent such incidents.

After spending 15 years with BASF and The Dow Chemical Co. Mashuga joined Texas A&M in 2014 to fill in some of the gaps in solid material education he discovered while working in the private industry. Working at BASF and Dow, Mashuga found that industry knowledge was limited regarding dry material and that is partly because colleges don’t offer much education in the field.

“If you look at chemical engineering, they don’t really cover solids,” Mashuga said.

Seeing these knowledge gaps in the industry spurred Mashuga to further his research at Texas A&M.

“What do we need to answer from an industrial standpoint to keep things safe?’ Mashuga said.

Some of the areas that Mashuga plans to explore are dust suppression systems, specifically examining inert, or non-combustible dusts, that are used to extinguish/suppress combustible dust explosions.

Find out more about the latest in Powder & Bulk Solids technology and equipment at Powder Show Canada June 16-18, 2015 in Toronto, Canada.

Inert dusts have been used for years within industries, Mashuga said, specifically citing the use of mixed powdered rock dust in coal mining to suppress explosions.

Research has shown that dust or powders that are small – 128 microns or less – are the most effective at extinguishing combustible dust, Mashuga said. Powdered materials that are small keep the oxygen and fuel from combining in a dust explosion, diluting the initial combustion, he said.

Knowing what type of dust to use to suppress an explosion or other combustible dust can be helpful, he said.

“What is the most optimal dust to spray in there?” Mashuga said.

The other area of research that Mashuga intends to explore is how testing equipment can be improved to better prevent dust explosions.

In the private industry, equipment follows ASTM standards but Mashuga discovered that companies would often need to modify equipment for unique situations.

One of the pieces of testing equipment that Mashuga would like to research is the 20 L device – a measurement tool that companies can use to determine the force and thermodynamics of combustible material. With the data from a 20 L device, companies can know how big to make the vent panels on explosion suppression equipment, he said.

If there is one solid piece of advice Mashuga can provide about preventing dust explosions, it’s to follow two cardinal rules – the first is know thy dust. If you are working with a dust or powder, you should know what its minimum ignition energy is as well as its Kst – the explosibility level of the dust. The second cardinal rule that facilities should follow is diligent housekeeping.

“It all goes back to the basics of dust hazard evaluation,” Mashuga said.

Particle Testing Authority, Surface Measurement Systems Announce Alliance

Particle testing lab in Munich-Unterschleißheim
Particle testing lab in Munich-Unterschleißheim

Particle Testing Authority (PTA), Micromeritics’ ISO17025 accredited contract testing laboratory, and Surface Measurement Systems, the global leader in sorption science, announce a strategic alliance to enhance access to dynamic vapor sorption technology in Europe and especially Germany.

PTA customers can now complement existing material characterization schedules with dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) testing to generate more complete sample profiles in the Munich-Unterschleißheim facility. At the same time, Surface Measurement Systems enables efficient customer sample testing and localized sales demonstrations in a key geography with the shared space. DVS provides important information for a broad range of industrial products including pharmaceuticals, foods, biopharmaceuticals, polymers, zeolites/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and catalysts.

“Surface Measurement Systems is the global leader in DVS technology, so we’re delighted to add these new systems to the lab as we work towards becoming the most complete materials characterization service in Europe,” said Greg Thiele, general manager, PTA. “We already have this technology in our laboratory in Norcross, Atlanta and we recognize the value of DVS for many of our clients, notably those in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors. DVS testing directly complements many of the measurements we already offer such as particle size and shape, and specific surface area, making it a great addition to our portfolio.”

DVS is a gravimetric sorption technique that measures how much of a solvent is adsorbed by the sample and how quickly. The sorption of water vapor by dry powders is a common focus of testing, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry because of the potential impact of moisture on drug stability and efficacy. However, testing may be performed with many other solvents, for example, to assess the potential of a new sorbent. Two Surface Measurement Systems DVS instruments will be installed in the Munich laboratory as a result of the alliance: The DVS Resolution as an advanced system for precise testing under well-controlled temperature and relative humidity next to the specified DVS Vacuum for measuring vapor and gas isotherms under low ambient pressure.

“This alliance significantly strengthens our ability to provide the highest quality support to customers in the DACH (Germany (D), Austria (A), and Switzerland (CH)) region,” said Prof. Daryl Williams, managing director, Surface Measurement Systems. “An area with a high concentration of industries that can benefit from DVS data. The set-up in the PTA lab will enable us to effectively demonstrate the performance and ease of use of our DVS systems and we look forward to working with PTA to help customers optimize their application of this valuable technique.”
