Cell-U-Sorb was compared to "Sphag Sorb", a peat moss-based product, for effectiveness as an environmentally safe all-purpose sorbent. Cell-U-Sorb performed equal to or better than Sphag Sorb in every beneficial characteristic listed for Sphag Sorb. Cell-U-Sorb is non-toxic, non-leaching, non-abrasive, lightweight, and biodegradable. It can be incinerated with minimal ash. The most outstanding characteristic for Cell-U-Sorb is its cost effectiveness. To illustrate this effectiveness the following test was performed.
Equal quantities of Cell-U-Sorb and Sphag Sorb were completely saturated with diesel fuel and allowed to stand for 10 minutes. The excess diesel was poured off and the saturated absorbent was placed on a pad for one hour. The samples were weighed to determine maximum absorption. This test was repeated using 30-weight motor oil to demonstrate effectiveness with heavier oil.
Cell-U-Sorb out performed Sphag Sorb two to one and is more desirable when disposal costs and other advantages are considered.
Cell-U-Sorb reduces problems with spills because it absorbs hydrocarbons from water cleaner and more efficiently than any other product available.

Stone CNC Router, the machine believe many contact carving knife, carving machine industry personnel are aware of, here we can not be introduced, this article mainly stone CNC Router motor fault types, and how to solve an introduction.
The first case is the stone CNC Router ( http://www.roc-tech.com/product/product35.html ) motor appears to reverse the situation. Staff need to check the motor line, because this situation is generally lack of phase of the motor line, you can also directly to the output UVW terminal exchange.
The second case is the stone CNC Router motor operation when there is noise. Appear this kind of circumstance are generally stone CNC Router motor internal failures, this situation must send producers there repair or replacement; if it is a stone CNC Router motor overload, then to adjust speed.
Third, stone CNC Router motor speed is very slow. This is the stone carving machine motor power problems, we are generally the first to check the cable to connect the stone CNC Router, check whether there is a short-circuit, may check the motor shortage phase.
In the fourth case, the motor of the stone CNC Router is hot. This kind of situation, the problem is the stone carving machine cooling system, we generally through the inspection of the pump is working, and circulating water there is no cooling lowest level this two kinds of methods to carry out.
Stone CNC Router motor fault types and the solution of the solution almost on the four, if the users have also found other types, you can contact us for a discussion.

Q: Make a featureGroup with a layerGroup that is also editable in Leaflet? I have a Leaflet map with a featureGroup, a layerGroup and drawControl however only the featureGroup is editable using the drawControl.
I think its because the layerGroup is separate from the featureGroup rather than a layer within it. Instead of .addTo(map) I have tried  new L.layerGroup().addTo(drawnItems) but to no avail.
My html code is:
var LeafIcon = L.Icon.extend({
    options: {
        iconSize:     [51.7, 25.3],
        iconAnchor:   [11, 46],
           }
});
var myIcon1 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s1.png'}),
    myIcon2 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s2.png'}),
    myIcon3 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s3.png'}),
    myIcon4 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s4.png'}),
    myIcon5 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s5.png'}),
    myIcon6 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s6.png'}),
    myIcon7 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s7.png'}),
    myIcon8 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s8.png'}),
    myIcon9 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s9.png'}),
    myIcon10 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s10.png'}),
    myIcon11 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s11.png'}),
    myIcon12 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s12.png'}),
    myIcon13 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s13.png'}),
    myIcon14 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s14.png'}),
    myIcon15 = new LeafIcon({iconUrl: 'images/s15.png'});

    //adds drawn items layer
    var drawnItems = new L.FeatureGroup().addTo(map);

//adds site tags layer

var sitetagItems = new L.layerGroup().addTo(map);

//add drawing tools to map and default polygons to red once zoomed and circle to default to blue
map.drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
    draw: {
      rectangle: false,
      polygon: {
          shapeOptions: {
            color: 'red'
          },
          allowIntersection: false,
          drawError: {
            color: 'orange',
            timeout: 1000
          },
          showArea: true,
          metric: true,
          repeatMode: true
           },

      circlemarker:{
         metric: true,
        radius: 343,

        color:'blue',
        fill:false
        }

      },
  edit: {
        featureGroup: drawnItems,
        layerGroup: sitetagItems,

     }
});

map.addControl(map.drawControl);

map.on('draw:created', function(e) {
    e.layer.addTo(drawnItems);
})

function Action1(){var bounds = map.getBounds();var center = bounds.getCenter();L.marker([center.lat,center.lng], {icon: myIcon1}).addTo(sitetagItems);};

A: As you discovered you can move marker icons around with mouse if you set marker option draggable to true, but this means that predefined markers editing is a bit different as drawn items editing.
if you want to edit predefined markers the same way as drawn items and latter remove only those predefined markers, you can achieve that by adding predefined marker to drawnItems layer, but defining them with some custom property, lets say isSiteTag: true that you can use later to identify markers that have to be deleted.
Relevant part of code could the look something like this:
function Action1() {
  var bounds = map.getBounds();
  var center = bounds.getCenter();
  L.marker([center.lat, center.lng], {
    icon: myIcon1,
    isSiteTag: true
  }).addTo(drawnItems);
};

function Action16() {
  drawnItems.eachLayer(function(layer) {
    if (layer.options.isSiteTag) drawnItems.removeLayer(layer);
  });
}

Every June, we take time to celebrate the fathers in our lives on the third Sunday of the month: Father's Day. But did you know that June is also Men's Health Month when men and boys are encouraged to become more aware of their health? In particular, this program is intended to highlight what they can do to prevent health issues through screenings and lifestyle changes. Two of the biggest threats to men's health are heart disease and cancer, especially prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 7 men, and it was estimated that for 2015, over 200,000 men would be diagnosed with this cancer while almost 28,000 would die from it. As with heart disease, the risk of getting prostate cancer increases with age (greater risk after 40 years of age) and family history. Also like heart disease, a healthy diet and regular exercise can help reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. A prostate exam may also help detect signs of this cancer early; when detected early, prostate cancer has a high cure rate.
This June, take time to consider your health and the health of the men around you. And don't forget that June 17 (the Friday before Father's Day) is Wear BLUE Day, a day when everyone is encouraged to "wear blue" in order to raise awareness of men's health issues. Be sure to #ShowUsYourBlue!


Up-and-coming Glume has teamed up with DeepEnd! regular FLO to create Albion Collective's fourth release: a clean-cut, 3 track EP featuring a heavy remix from Sepia. So far, Albion Collective have pushed out one release a year since 2015, each one exploring a different direction to the last. Because of this, future releases are hard to judge; previous ones range from introspective vocal jams, stomping dub, and most excitingly: evil, swashbuckling pirate riddims. Glume rolls the windows down and drives Albion Collective slowly through the cold, blue suburbs – a knowing ride through a dangerous neighbourhood.
Glume lays out the steady 808s (to make the place shake), whirlpooling trap and elements of Bandulu-influenced grime into the stern "Thug". The hair-raising collusion of natural, off-tone chords alongside the mysterious riff pull in a slightly different direction to the methodical, electronic stomps of the kick and sub, leaving it somewhere between the dancefloor and the nightbus home. FLO drops in for "Skateland", the EP's special move. After an intro where nothing is out of the ordinary – creeping funeral bells and an eerie pulse – fades away, a headbop-certified, bouncing bassline reminiscent of J:Kenzo's "Zbantu Shake" bumps into the mix. There are no circles in this one: from first drop to third, the calm, collected energy teases some classic wobbles, slips them into the beat and then finally goes full throttle.
Sepia steps up to remix duty with a tougher, meaner "Skateland". Distorted, disjointed hi-hats rap over the gnarlier, periodically pulsing bassline. It feels most in its element by the time the 2nd drop swings around, a few more loose sprockets adding colour, movement and essentially pace to the aggressively slow beat lead by an often-fidgety sand-worm sub bass. The EP presents a chilling journey through a clean blend of dubstep with dashes of grime and trap. While the lack of variation lets "Thug" down, "Skateland" demands not to be mixed out of quickly, allowing the EP's voice to fully explore itself and grow more complex. As for the label, 2018 is still young; there may be time yet for ALBION005 before 2019.
Thug is released April 27th and available from Unearthed Sounds, Redeye, White Peach, Juno and the Albion Collective Store.

Q: Do PCB manufacturers provide SMT soldering services for small runs (qty. 5)? I don't know whether this question was asked before or off-topic but I couldn't think of another site to have better answer than this stackexchange.
I sometimes build prototypes using two or three ready boards. Like using a small evolution MCU board a specific sensor with SPI, I2C, DAC ect. And in this case, I do not need to make the cost low because the circuit will be part of a very expensive large system and I maybe need max five circuits.
PCB itself can be designed by me but the thing is there's no skills, time and equipment for soldering hundreds of surface mount components. And in this case hiring someone for the purpose and buying equipment is also overkill expensive since as I mentioned only five pieces needed. My question is, in such circumstance do the PCB manufacturers provide also soldering services with extra payment or are there separate ones just perform this or there is no such thing exists.

A: It's called an assembly service. This may be provided by the same place that makes the PCB or by a different place that does nothing but assemble PCBs.
The more automated assembly (which is most of them) are not intended for five pieces because there are setup costs for the equipment involvement. They will gladly assemble five boards for you, but they will charge that fixed setup cost either way and it will get amortized across 5 pieces instead of 5000.
They also likely have some good manual soldering equipment for rework and fixes, but if you are hoping they will instead assign a human to solder your five boards for you and not charge the setup cost, you're going to be disappointed because both costs are for the labour of a human.
If the board is too complicated for you to solder, either because there are too many components or the components cannot be readily soldered by hand, then the cost for manual assembly of a few boards is going to approach the setup cost for automated assembly.
The setup costs for automated assembly tend to be right around the costs to get some good manual soldering equipment anyways (not a pick and place machine and reflow oven) so if you only have five boards and they can be manually assembled, most just buy the equipment and do it themselves since you recoup costs on being able to re-use that equipment. This also has the benefit that assembly and boards are not perfect, especially the first time around and you need equipment to debug and troubleshoot. You probably don't want to be respinning boards over and over again and paying for assembly for testing a bunch of minor fixes.
But if your board can't be assembled manually by equipment you can afford then you have no choice. The assembler doesn't care how many boards you need to put together as long as you're willing to pay what they want.

A: While I'm sure that specific recommendations are beyond the scope of this website, I've found suppliers use the phrase "turnkey PCB manufacturing" or "turnkey assembly" to describe this service.
In my experience with one provider, we provide GERBER files, drill files, and footprint position files for board manufacturing, along with a bill of materials listing every component. Usually the manufacturer takes care of component sourcing, though occasionally we've needed to provide hard-to-find parts. A few weeks later, assembled boards arrive in the mail, ready to install in our system.
Our orders are typically in the 50-100 board range; smaller orders are possible, but since a lot of the cost is in the setup, the per-board cost is significantly higher for small runs.

A: Yes some do, but those that I know of offer a relatively narrow range of components, so if you use a particular micro, switch-mode ic or whatever that they don't stock then you're out of luck.  I suppose if you choose a manufacturer and then design around what they have then it could work.  It can be worthwhile to talk to a contract manufacturer even for relays all quantities, probably not for 10 off but 50 or 100 units might be cost effective.  I don't think it's appropriate to name suppliers here, otherwise I would.

A: I have some experience with JLCPCB, it works just fine. Also for 5 boards.
You submit:

*

*the gerber plus nc drill files

*A BOM csv file

*A pick place file, also csv

If you care about fast and efficient it's recommended to use their standard stock. In Altium I made those components available in my library with a J (jlc) in their name. As a parameter I also included the C number, their catalog number, it's added in the BOM file.
When you create the footprints add the 3D step, assembly outline, assembly center mark, courtyard, .designator text, etc (Look at the footprint movie from Robert Feranec with Hausherr Extensive footprint movie) to make the process smoothly. The courtyard also prevents components being too close.
On the JLCPCB site I just enter all details, like double sided assembly and upload the files. Select and confirm the components and check their angle. It's advisable to use recognizable overlay markings for pin 1 and anode/kathode. Always let JLCPCB confirm your production files with you.
If they don't have the necessary components available, you can order the needed ones by global source (like mouser) and let it being send to them. (For your personal stock at JLCPCB) Extra waiting time: 1-2 weeks… Be careful to order extra for assembly mistakes, some also need a minimum to order. Made this mistake, took another 2 weeks. It's a pity you can't finish the ordering process and wait for the components, you just have to do this again when the components arrived.
Be aware: I pay with a creditcard, when the order has to be cancelled because of footprint issues etc, they pay back the prepaid money… But my CC company (visa) keeps the administrative charge. Around 60€. It's learn-money and I write down the reason of rejection in a paper I always check for next time orders. PCBWAY does the auditing first and charges you when they accept. But are also more expensive.
JLCPCB at this moment doesn't solder trough hole components, but they are easily done yourself. They supply them separately. But I wouldn't be surprised if they change this very soon; they already changed a lot of options like tenting and capping, more layer boards etc.

A: Usually PCB fabrication and PCB assembly are two different businesses.
But there are some companies that offer low volume assembly for prototypes. I'm sure there are a couple more, but the companies I know of of the top of my head are JLCPCB, CircuitHub and Eurocircuits.
The main thing here is that you have to figure out how to provide data to them. They usually require a specific way to keep setup cost low and being able to offer low volume assembly for a reasonable price. Or they might restrict you to a subset of components that they already have in their library (e.g. for their internal DFM checks) or have restrictions on specific mounting types (through holes, BGAs, ...).

Bariatric surgery shows metabolic benefits in lower-BMI patients
Publish date: November 7, 2019
Mitchel L. Zoler
View on the News
Findings add to a growing evidence base
This is a very important topic and study, and its findings are very positive and reinforcing for more liberal use of bariatric surgery. Results from several prior studies had documented the safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery in patients with lower body mass index, and its fantastic to now have additional data that show the same outcomes. A major challenge is making patients and more physicians aware of the range of comorbidities that can be effectively managed with bariatric surgery, even in patients with lower body mass index.
Dr. Mona Misra
Mona Misra, MD, is associate director of the Bariatric Program at Cedars-Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital in Los Angeles. She had no relevant disclosures. She made these comments as designated discussant for the study.
REPORTING FROM OBESITY WEEK 2019
LAS VEGAS – It's time to take bariatric out of bariatric surgery.
"The way forward is to not call it bariatric surgery or weight-loss surgery but surgery to treat diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and other metabolic diseases," said Oliver A. Varban, MD, at a meeting presented by the Obesity Society and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. "We need to reframe the conversation with patients about what success [with bariatric surgery] looks like. Weight loss can be a side effect of the operation if patients have surgery to resolve their diabetes. It's not about BMI; it's about treating metabolic disease."
Mitchel L.Zoler/MDedge News
Dr. Oliver A. Varban
Dr. Varban, a bariatric surgeon at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, reported data showing that bariatric surgery with sleeve gastrectomy in patients with baseline body mass index (BMI) levels below 35 kg/m2 was as effective at normalizing a range of metabolically associated disorders as it was in more obese patients in an observational study of more than 45,000 patients who underwent surgery in Michigan.
The findings add to an already extensive pool of evidence for loosening current guidelines that restrict bariatric surgery to patients with a BMI of 35 kg/m2 or greater, Dr. Varban said. But an influential bariatric surgery consensus statement from the National Institutes of Health that dates from 1991 and remains in place, recommends this surgery only for people with a BMI of at least 35 kg/m2, and this guidance often limits access to the surgery for patients at lower BMI, he noted.
A more inclusive assessment of patients as potential candidates for bariatric surgery should include a range of considerations in addition to weight and height, he explained in an interview. "Even if people have a BMI of less than 30 kg/m2 but have, or are at high risk for developing, metabolic disease, they should also be offered the operation."
The guidance from the NIH results in a U.S. bariatric surgery population that effectively centers mainly on women with a BMI of 40 kg/m2 or greater and makes procedures like sleeve gastrectomy unavailable to many other types of patients who could benefit from it, Dr. Varban said. In 2018, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery released a position statement that summarized the evidence for the safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery in people with a BMI of 30-34 kg/m2, and cited the lingering and restrictive impact of the 1991 NIH consensus statement.
Weight loss surgery linked to lower CV event risk in diabetes
A 'preferred treatment option' in obesity and type 2 diabetes?
The study run by Dr. Varban and his associates used data collected by 43 programs in the Michigan Bariatric Surgery Collaborative during 2006-2018 that included 1,073 patients who had a BMI of less than 35 kg/m2 on the day they underwent sleeve gastrectomy, and 44,511 patients who had the same procedure and had a BMI of at least 35 kg/m2. The operations were performed by any one of 81 surgeons who worked at the centers during this time.
The patients with lower BMIs were older, with an average age of 51 years, compared with 45 years in the higher-BMI group, and they had higher prevalences of certain metabolic disorders. Diabetes affected 37% of those in the lower-BMI group and 31% of those with higher BMIs; hyperlipidemia affected 57% and 45%, respectively; and gastroesophageal reflux disease affected 56% and 49%, respectively. Obstructive sleep apnea was more common in the group with higher BMIs, at 47%, compared with 41% of those with lower BMIs.
The average BMI in the lower group was 33.7 kg/m2; in the higher group it was 46.7 kg/m2. Dr. Varban did not have data on whether any patients in the lower-BMI group had a BMI below 30 kg/m2. Roughly a third of the patients in the lower-BMI group had a BMI of less than 35 kg/m2 at the time of their initial examination, whereas the other two-thirds had a BMI that low only on the day of their surgery.At follow-up 1 year after their surgery, patients who started with lower BMIs had, in general, a very similar pattern of responses as those who started with higher BMIs, with rates of discontinuation of treatments for diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, and gastroesophageal reflux of about 50%-80% and similar in both treatment arms. For example, discontinuation of oral diabetes drugs occurred in 79% and 78% of those with low and high BMIs, respectively, and discontinuation of hypertension medications occurred in 60% and 54%, respectively. Although the average absolute weight loss in the patients with lower BMIs was nearly half that of patients with higher starting BMIs, a much greater percentage of patients in the lower-BMI group achieved a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2, compared with the higher-BMI group (36% vs. 6%, respectively).
Patients from the lower-BMI group also showed high levels of satisfaction with their surgery and its results after 1 year. Questionnaire results from roughly half the patients in each treatment group showed that 90% were very satisfied in the lower-BMI group, compared with 84% of those who began with higher BMIs, with a dissatisfaction rate of 1% and 2%, respectively. The average body-image score at 1 year follow-up was significantly higher in those who started with lower BMIs. The rate of complications was low and similar in the two groups, with a 6% rate in the lower-BMI group and 5% in those with higher BMIs.
The study received no commercial funding. Dr. Varban receives salary support from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

Jon Johnson – Section 232 Aluminum Tariffs: Classic Bait and Switch
From: Jon Johnson
To: Canadians and Americans Fed-up with Section 232 Tariffs
Re: Section 232 Aluminum Tariffs – Classic Bait and Switch
With CUSMA in effect for barely a month, the Trump Administration announced that it will re-impose 10-percent tariffs on non-alloyed unwrought aluminum from Canada. The basis is Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act of 1962 that permits the president to "adjust" imports of articles that threaten US national security.
The US began imposing 25-percent tariffs on imports of steel and 10-percent tariffs on imports of aluminum from Canada on June 1, 2018. Canada adopted retaliatory measures, and the existence of these tariffs became a major impediment to completing NAFTA renegotiations, a top Trump priority.
On May 17, 2019, Canada and the US issued a Joint Statement announcing the end of these tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada. This was a welcome development, instrumental in facilitating the conclusion of CUSMA.
There were, of course, pitfalls, and one has materialized. The Joint Statement provided that if imports of aluminum or steel products surge meaningfully beyond historic volumes, the importing party (the US), may request consultations and re-impose tariffs on the products where the surge took place. Imports of non-alloyed unwrought aluminum from Canada into the US over the period June 2019 to May 2020 increased substantially over imports over the previous 12-month period. The Trump administration requested consultations (which took place without any resolution) and has now announced that it will re-impose 10-percent tariffs starting August 16.
The Joint Statement provides that if the importing party (the US) re-imposes tariffs, the exporting country (Canada) "agrees to retaliate only in the affected sector (i.e., aluminum and aluminum-containing products or steel.)" This effectively sanctions retaliation. And as announced last week, Canada will impose a 10 percent surtax on US aluminum and aluminum containing products chosen from a list set out in the Notice starting September 16. (Canada's list is more expansive than the product categories listed in the Joint Statement for identifying a surge. However, the Joint Statement does not confine retaliation to those product categories.)
So where does this leave us? Before Donald Trump's decision to re-impose the duties, Canadian non-alloyed unwrought aluminum entered the US duty free. Once the Trump action takes effect, the US importers will be penalized by having to pay a 10-percent duty. Products of the US aluminum industry satisfying CUSMA rules of origin currently enter Canada duty free. Once the surtax is in effect, the US products chosen by Canada will be subject to a 10-percent penalty.
It is difficult to see how anyone benefits from this. While the Canadian aluminum industry will suffer, the US aluminum industry will also be hurt, as will all US consumers of Canadian non-alloyed unwrought aluminum, a widely used product. It is even more difficult to see how any of this has the remotest connection to US national security.
The re-imposition of the Section 232 tariffs is particularly objectionable because in order for passenger vehicles or light or heavy trucks to qualify as originating for CUSMA duty free treatment, 70 percent of the steel and aluminum purchased by the vehicle producer must be originating. The 10-percent tariff on originating Canadian non-alloyed unwrought aluminum, which should enter the US duty free, will discourage US producers from using Canadian product to meet this requirement.
As Inside U.S. Trade reported last Friday, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told them that Canadian aluminum imports were not a national security threat. Ron Kind (D-WI) tweeted last Thursday that "President Trump's announcement today to raise tariffs on Canadian aluminum is extremely disappointing. This is not how we treat allies that we have recently agreed to a new trade deal with."
These are fine sentiments. However, to date Congress has shown no meaningful inclination to curb the expansive use of Section 232, a hallmark of the Trump Administration. Perhaps after the election, with a new Congress and possibly a new president, Congress may finally take meaningful action to end abuse of Section 232.
Jon Johnson is a former advisor to the Canadian government during NAFTA negotiations and is a Senior Fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute.

Caldwell, Hayek, and Math
Categories: Austrian Economics
Francis Fukuyama reviews Bruce Caldwell's Hayek's Challenge, an intellectual biography of Friedrich Hayek.
As Caldwell notes, Hayek initially thought the dividing line between possible and impossible positivism lay in the distinction between natural sciences and social sciences, but by the 1950s he had come to understand that the issue was really one of complexity. A positivist, predictive science is possible only for phenomena, whether human or natural, that are relatively simple—particle physics, for example. One can never fully model and predict complex phenomena such as the spontaneous orders produced by the interactions of simpler agents. These orders include the human brain, whose higher functions cannot possibly be inferred from its physical substratum, as well as ecosystems and, of course, markets, cultures, and other human institutions.
…Thus, the highly mathematical and ahistorical turn that academic economics has taken in recent years would have been, for Hayek, as much an abuse of reason as the socialist planning of earlier generations.
In discussing the role of math and econometrics, I think that the fundamental issue is how to evaluate an economic argument. How do we decide that on e person's paper is valid and worth publishing, while another person's is not?
If we believe that mathematics can establish the logical validity of an argument, and if we believe that econometrics can establish the empirical validity of an argument, then we have an approach to evaluating papers in economics. Otherwise, we do not appear to have clear criteria.
I believe that economic papers ought to be logical and scientific in spirit, with arguments expressed as precisely as possible. They ought to make falsifiable predictions. However, I believe that math and econometrics are neither necessary nor sufficient for establishing the validity of an economic argument. Thus, to borrow a Hayekian phrase, there is a "fatal conceit" to the sort of technical emphasis that was dominant when I was in graduate school.
For Discussion. If the mathematical approach to economics were eliminated, what would take its place?
Surely, the same thing that is used by journals now: Judgment.
Having served as a referee for many journals and as part of some editorial groups, I can assure you that all math does is ratchet up the minimum standards for acceptable publication. It does not eliminate the need for choice (not all sound models are published).
The problem is that good papers without the necessary modelling are not published. And useless models are tacked onto good papers just to get published. It is the latter cynicism that is wrong.
Further, as physicists understand, but many economists do not, rigor is not the same as mathematical formalism. Most formalism in econ is derived from math dept values not science. It has little substantive justification at any level.
Steve Keen puts it nicely in Debunking Economics…
"Many critics of economics have laid the blame for its manifest failures at the feet of mathematics. Mathematics, they claim, has led to an excessive formalism in economics, which has obscured the inherently social nature of the subject.
While it is undeniable that an inordinate love of mathematical formalism has contributed to some of the intellectual excesses in economics, generally this reaction is as erroneous as blaming the piano for the discordant notes of a bad piano player. If anything should be shot, it is the pianist, not the piano. Though mathematics has definite limitations, properly used, it is a logical tool that should illuminate, rather than obscure. Economists have obscured reality using mathematics because they have practised mathematics badly, and because they have not realised the limits of mathematics…"
What form would economics take if the current "formal" approach is cast aside? Tough to say, but hopefully it would take a form that stresses emperical validity and applicability.
May 10 2004 at 11:57pm
The problem is that in order to validate something empirically we at least need some sort of minimal mathematical model. Even in order to get a regression to be useful we need to make a myriad of mathematical assumptions about disturbance terms. Waving hands is an unacceptable substitute.
Fixed point theorems do seem pretty uninteresting, I'll grant you that. But verbal philosophy with five-syllable German words isn't any more illuminating. My personal preference is for English spiced with math where it actually helps make a point.
Chris misses the point that the number of "fixed point" style papers has exploded in the journals, while good mathematics at the level of the JPE in 1964 are unpublishable in many top journals. English spiced with math is more and more considered the barest minimum at a weak journal.
The point is not to go to German philosophy. The point is that the increase in mathematical sophistication from 1964 to 2004 has not been accompanied by a requisite improvement in a) logic b) applicability c) empirical sophistication or d) useful predictions.
The fact is that neither of Coase's seminal articles would be accepted to the American Econ Review today. And as Tyler points out, Friedman and Schwarz might not even make it as a Chicago PhD thesis today.
I say that except for the J of Math Econ or Econometrica, no major journal should have math more formal than that typical of the AER and JPE of 1964.
Resort to parallelism, or the fancy verbal drawing of pictures; wait, is that not what We do now, simply inputting numbers every time We cannot think of a correct word. lgl
The purpose of mathematical formalism is to cause the writer to not only be logically tight, but also specific enough to avoid arguments over semantics. While this may seem unnecessarily abstract, it is crucial to the advancement of science (incl economics). Steering economics to some sort of non-quantitative basis will only lead to unanswerable questions and unfalsifiable conclusions. I think physics would be the best model for how to apply math to a subject. The fact that a physicist works with real objects allows him to cut away a lot of the more cumbersome parts of mathematical formalism, but in such a way that the predications still have the sharpness of mathematics.
I absolutely agree that physics is a good model for this. But given the lack of clear tests, math economists have taken to using pure math as the standard, hence the excessive formalism.
I can assure you, most physicists I know are astonished when they see the degree of formalism in many economics journals.
There should also be a place for verbal speculation that can only be partially mathematized. Given our lack of power laws and true dynamic equations of motion it is imperative that room be given for good ideas that might be properly formalized after people have had time to digest and discuss the ideas.
Sean Hackbarth
The argument Hayek made to differentiate physics with economics is the latter deals with complex phenomena. In an economy, there's too many feedback loops, chaotic attractors, and other elements to make accuarate predictions possible. The best we can hope for is to explain the economic process taking place and describe the direction it's headed.

More than a channel operating in isolation, mobile is everywhere, influencing our entire lives. Now brands must exploit the blank canvas before them, James Kirkham writes.
Mobile will stop being a thing.
Eventually, there will be no distinction between the future of networking technology and the future of mobile devices. Two become one. Inseparable and impossible to split. Mobile is everything and mobile is everywhere.
It is the single most vital entry point to the real world and all human information that has ever been collated. Three billion people on this planet use the internet, and two billion of these access it from their phones. Internet and mobile are one. Social and mobile are one. To continue to split and syphon off mobile is naïve.
Through such ubiquity comes complete disappearance. As technology envelopes everyone and everything, it becomes invisible. People once discussed the use of electricity to light a room. No more. It disappears. So the word smartphone will start slowly disappearing too.
My five-year-old son, like most children, has a brilliant, captivating little imagination. Unbridled lunacy spouts out of his tiny head, and there is no apparent desire to rein himself in or want to stop. In one of his many make-believe rants, he tells me how he finds the incredible facts behind his tall stories.
Recently, he told of how a rainbow-stealing thief lived in the hills near our home and used to raid his garden for colourful treasure nearly 50 years ago. I go along with his ramblings and ask him how he knows all this. "It is here, on my phone. Look, I'll show you," he says. I probe for more information on his fantastical flight of fancy. "Let me look on my phone," he adds, motioning again to the pretend device in his little hand.
Children see mobile like TV science-fiction scriptwriters once did. As with Quantum Leap, my favourite show as a teenager, when Al briefed Dr Sam Beckett on his time-travelling escapades. They were the complete oracle. They were the way into all and the answer to everything.
Children will never talk about online – because, to them, they're never offline. Their world has always been blended, information anywhere accessed in a moment and entirely on demand.
So mobiles are a portal to every answer that we'll ever need, and a lens to the past or future. We as adults "do" social on them more than anything else too.
Because social and mobile are one. The rise of apps predicated on mobile beyond all else is impossible to ignore. Instagram, Snapchat and Yo were all entirely built mobile first by mobile people thinking in a mobile way for people on their mobiles.
This trend has been further cemented through the rise of joint social mobile platforms. Line and WhatsApp are the most obvious examples, where telephony is literally entwined and combined into systems: part-messaging, part-social communication, part-texting, part-emoji, part-Skype-style, part-image-sharing.
So mobile is too big to be a thing any more. If we're looking to the very near future, the year ahead, then we should view it with this context in our heads. Start seeing communications opportunity as a way to bridge these gaps, and help orientate us towards an exciting future with a world transformed and unrecognisable from when we were children.
Many people believe that advances in mobile will allow us to shop differently. With mobile commerce now becoming as normal as reading online news, there is an increasing clamour to find more inventive means to bring the consumer closer to the clothes.
Developments in haptic feedback are expected to enable brands to create "textures" alongside the products they showcase, effectively allowing you to feel items of clothing through your screen.
Furthermore, augmented reality means that mobile becomes a gateway for millions of new stores anywhere they wish. By creating "virtual" stores wherever you can get 3G reception, it means brands can "pop up" their shops wherever and whenever they want, without worrying about business rates or bricks and mortar. All of this feels very much like the death of real-world retail.
This year's progressive and aggressive coming together between mobile and retail will edge us further towards an entirely different era when the traditional high-street shopping experience is radically altered.
As usual, the persuasive nature of personalised communications and convenience will make this argument difficult for anyone else to win.
The reason it took so long for advertising to grasp mobile is because the few people who would play with it resorted to interruption. Yet this is the most personal of devices, so such methodology was wrong.
People fall in love with their phone. They use it and look at it and touch it and see it more than anything else in their waking, working worlds.
So any brand that realises it is less about push and more about pull suddenly starts to rise in the mind of the consumer. That's why an app such as Yo will be a big hit in 2015. What at first feels like something bordering on the moronic (the ability to send a "Yo" to a friend) then reveals a deeper, more exciting side.
Imagine sending a Yo to your favourite retailer or restaurant when emerging from the Tube in a new part of town.
Geolocation means you'll be sent back details of the nearest venue. What's more, it can fire back a discount and a coupon too. On arrival, it might go so far as to prepare your "regular" order, personalised with your Yo name on the wrapper. This is about the consumer asking and the consumer getting.
Shazam has had a bad rap from some quarters of advertising, where people complain that it takes too long to initiate in time to "listen" in on a TV ad. But what if you simply use it outdoors, at events, at installations, in shopping centres, so your shop can at any point be Shazamed in order for you to access additional content or an exclusive extra? There will be a rise of these incredibly simple apps and initiatives in 2015, all driven around a one-stop calling from the consumer.
The year ahead will see another rise in mobile advertising revenue, but don't be fooled by the statistics.
This is still the legacy of an industry only now seeing the worth and potential to advertise their wares on mobile devices at all. This will ultimately go the same way as the online banner and be consigned to history before properly smart, contextual, editorially driven advertising is king, when you can barely see the advertising join to the real world. Where the lines blur between content you're interested in and marketing you're being sold.
Mobile shouldn't be seen as the threat to other channels in 2015 – instead, we should see plenty of examples where it further fans the flames of older media channels and gives them a much-needed injection of excitement and interest.
This year will see far more social advertising examples, where our consumers expect more than just a 30-second TV spot. This isn't about clumsily applying a natty hashtag, either, but instead about providing a genuine opportunity to lead the viewer into a greater depth of experience via a mobile phone.
An example might be takeaway brands running advertising at precisely the same time that their TV spots are on, to give the consumer a coupon on their smartphone. Or it might be the chance to watch whole new content strands for brands such as Comparethemarket.com, which has created extended narratives. It can deliver against these through mobile concurrently when the TV spot tells them. So much can be done, and 2015 will see agencies and brands being more inventive more regularly with their ability to join the dots via a smartphone.
With 2015 upon us, let's consign the word "mobile" to history. Because it means everything to us.

OK Go Switches from Youtube to Facebook
Posted byChiang Li Ling Clara February 13, 2016 February 13, 2016 Posted inForum
Some of us have heard of, or even seen the music videos of the American alternative rock band "OK Go", famous for its viral videos. The band has enjoyed viral marketing success on Youtube because of its quirky music videos that are watchable and shareable.
Recently, OK Go released a new music video, "Upside Down & Inside Out", featuring the band engaging in their signature choreographed routine aboard a zero-gravity airplane ride (you can watch the music video on their Facebook page).
What is interesting is that this is the first time the band has turned to Facebook, instead of uploading it on Youtube, the usual go-to platform for music videos. If you try to search for the video on Youtube, you will only find a clip that encourages people to check out the music video on Facebook instead. OK Go cited a few reasons why they chose to go Facebook-only, mainly because of the increasing reach and engagement of Facebook when it comes to videos. In addition, Facebook has been working towards "increasing ad revenue for video content creators", making it an appealing alternative to Youtube. The band has also had a rough partnership with Youtube, largely because of the insignificant ad revenue gained each time its video gets played.
You can read about it here: http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/why-ok-go-went-facebook-only-debut-its-buzzy-zero-gravity-music-video-169599
Although the band is confident about its bold move, will it be able to replicate its viral marketing success on another native video platform, Facebook?
Here are some of its viral music videos:
Rebecca Lim's "Retirement"
3 Ways You Can Make PR and Social Media Work Together
One thought on "OK Go Switches from Youtube to Facebook"
MySpace was once the must-go-to site for video viral before Facebook fever, then it was YouTube, now it is Facebook which is venturing into this field as a next big thing?
While increasing grievances from video creators against YouTube Empire, the band "OK GO" seems to start to roll out a mild action to boycott YouTube. And, yes, you are right: the real point in this battle is whether Facebook can leverage this bold movement and can rise as a valid contender of YouTube as a video-creation platform.
Although most "consumption behavior" for video sharing and watching is happening on the Facebook platform, it is undeniable that YouTube is considered as a major platform for creators to earn traffic as well as ad revenue. However, consumption and creation interact in different ways as traditional "supply" and "demand" curves meet; this means that in this new digital-driven content ecology, "consumption" drives "creation" and vice versa and these two might not always be separate. Hence, no surprise that Facebook, the world's largest content consumption-sharing platform, is dreaming of being the content creation hub beating up YouTube.
My observation is that YouTube eventually will respond in a more proactive and appeasing way to this anti-sentiment from content creators. The subtle difference already was felt when they changed embedding/playing policy from banning video play at other blogs or Facebook page, then allowing it!
My expectation is that this movement cannot change the whole power-game surrounding video service giants in a single day. But it does seem obvious that this kind of movement will reappear and might be more contagious than we might imagine, thus could impact other content creators' moves.
We all know Rome wasn't built in a day. Well, neither was YouTube. But we also should bear in mind that Rome was tarnished, then rapidly fell and – once it happened – it got out of hand.
So now for YouTube, it's time to ask questions… are they tarnished and exerting overwhelming power over creators? Maybe yes or maybe not, but if many creators would say yes, exodus to Facebook or even somewhere else might be happening in the not-so-distant future.

Farid replied to backstory's topic in What's that got to do with anything?
i think they actually do--and the existence of the log-cabin republicans is itself seen as a contradiction. it is all very old-fashioned. not all liberals, obviously, but quite a lot. liberal attitudes to sexuality and race seek to do far less damage to homosexuals and racial minorities as those of the extreme right, but they're often as quaint. Well, maybe I'm not a typical liberal either. I tend to think that most generalizations, including the one immediately above, are suspect.

Has anyone in the US ordered overseas from Poilane?
Farid replied to Salli Vates's topic in France
I've never tried Hofpfisterei bread so I can't say what makes Poilane different. A friend of mine that I grew up with ended up marrying a baker who studied the old way through apprenticeship. They have a shop in old Lyon last time I was there. And I would say his bread is as good as Poilane, but he's not famous. He has the touch when it comes to forming loaves. Do you know what I mean? When you see a loaf made by a baker like that it looks totally different from mass produced bread. Anyway, all this is to say that Poilane is not the only bakery that can make great bread. So if there is a


A home is the single biggest investment that most individuals will ever make; it is typically the largest asset on the family "balance sheet." Also, the contents of a typical home, such as furniture, appliances, clothing, family heirlooms, and other movable personal belongings, represent a substantial additional investment.
Further, everyone faces the risk of personal liability. For example, a visitor to the home could slip and fall. Such accidents can result in court decisions awarding large sums to the injured party.
Homeowner's insurance: This provision pays medical or funeral expenses because of bodily injury and covers damage to the home or physical dwelling.
Personal property: The contents of the home, such as furniture, appliances, or clothing. Certain types of property may have specific dollar amount.
Loss of use: If the home is damaged by covered peril, "loss of use" helps meet the cost of hotel bill, eating out, and other living expenses while the home is being repaired.
Personal liability: payments that insured are legally obligated to make because of bodily injury or property damage.
The standard homeowner's policies specifically exclude a number of perils from coverage. Policy coverage of these excluded perils can generally be added through an "endorsement" and payment of an additional premium.
Ordinance or law: Many homeowners' policies do not cover losses due to a law or ordinance of the community in which the home is located.
Earth movements: Excludes loss caused by events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruption, or landslide.
Water damage: Refers to damage from flood, water that backs up from sewers or drains, or water seeping through walls.

Pull&Bear aims to dress dynamic people and fashion lovers who are young at heart.
Tracking the newest trends across technology, social movements and the latest developments in art and music, Pull&Bear was founded in 1991 with a clear mission of dressing young, environmentally-engaged and dynamic fashion lovers. The brand has fast become globally recognised for its fun styling, fusing international and club influences with a playful attitude.
Pull&Bear has two separate lines both for men and women. The first is primarily intended for teenagers, with casual and easy styling in sweatshirts, T-shirts, jeans, Bermuda shorts, plimsolls and hats. The second is more specifically designed for adults who have grown up with the brand, and look to it for eclectic styles that can be worn day or night, at work or play.
Pull&Bear's commitment to innovation is reflected in its cutting-edge new headquarters in Narón, Spain, which opened in 2016, and has since been awarded LEED certification for fulfilling a range of environmental factors including high energy efficiency and use of low-impact materials.
In 2016, the brand also launched its first 'for&from' store in Ferrol, Spain, as part of Inditex's programme to help the social integration of people with disabilities through professional employment.

The 2021 Recap
PH Turns 40 Years Old!
40 years ago, PH was a 2-person design firm started by George Pappageorge and David A. Haymes. Today, we are a team of 40 talented individuals united in our spirit of curiosity, creativity, and the belief that we can make a difference in the world.
To all our clients who have trusted us throughout the years, it has been an honor and a privilege to work with you – we could not have attained this milestone without you. As we begin our next 40 years, we look forward to sharing our journey of continued growth and success.
LA Lowrise Design Competition
Earlier this year, several PHamily members entered in the Low-Rise: Housing Ideas for Los Angeles Design Challenge, proposing urban residential design and planning solutions for various Los Angeles neighborhood contexts. Four PH teams took on this challenge to engage in imaginative thinking and derive targeted solutions for affordability, quality of life, and community enhancement. Georgi Todorov's ABC (Affordable Back Cottage) proposal was recognized with an Honorable Mention in the Subdivision category!
354 N. Union Under Construction
The 32-story, 373-unit apartment tower at 354 N. Union broke ground in April, and structural work is currently underway. An overpass bridge off of North Halsted Street is now fully formed and connected to the building's third level.
The development replaces a formerly vacant lot in Fulton River at the northeast corner of Chicago's popular Fulton Market district. The tower will join three other PH-designed buildings in the area and share borders with K2 Apartments – a PH-designed residential building completed in 2013.
Wolf Point East Challenge Coin
When Wolf Point East completed construction in 2020, Ron Weber, a Project Manager for Wolf Point East and a US veteran, introduced us to the idea of "challenge coins" used to honor accomplishments during his service in the military. Ron commissioned a special challenge coin to commemorate the completion of the project and celebrate the collective efforts of the clients, architects, contractors, and consultants who contributed to Wolf Point East's making. For many of us at PH, this coin is not only a reminder of the successful completion of an iconic building in Chicago, but also of Ron's mentorship and legacy at PH.
4601 N. Broadway Under Construction
A 9-story masonry building is planned on a corner site at 4601 N. Broadway in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. The mixed-use building consists of ground-floor retail and 200 rental apartments in studios and 1 to 3-bedroom units. Building amenities on the ninth floor include a fitness room, lounge, business center, and a rooftop terrace with views of the Downtown and Lake Michigan.
The project is currently under construction with first occupancy scheduled for fall of 2022.
Reside on Green Becomes Fitwel Certified
Reside on Green is the first PH project to achieve a Fitwel Rating by the Center for Active Design! This achievement showcases our commitment to advancing wellness for residents of the building by implementing health-promoting design and operational strategies that support the health of the building occupants. This marks an important milestone in the firm's focus on promoting human health through architectural design.
The Fitwel certification program is being headed by Greg Klosowski, who became a certified Fitwel Ambassador earlier this year.
One Oak Under Development in Austin, TX
Currently under development in Texas is a 4-story condominium building nestled alongside Bouldin Creek in the heart of booming South Austin, just minutes from downtown. The project embraces the site's natural beauty by orienting the central courtyard east toward the lush tree-lined creek. The exterior design uses timeless natural materials, thoughtfully subdivided massing, and a setback penthouse level that corresponds to the neighborhood scale.
On December 16th, the One Oak Sales Center celebrated its Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting event.
Chicago Plan Commission Approves 1203 N. California Development
A new 9-story residential building is under development at the vacant corner of California Ave & Division Street in Chicago's #HumboldtPark neighborhood. The site anchors the western gateway to the #PaseoBoricua, the vibrant art district and commercial corridor extending to Western Avenue. . The program also includes a large multi-story mural by local artist Antonio Beniquez celebrating Humboldt Park's multicultural heritage, ground-floor retail, indoor parking spaces, a multi-purpose outdoor recreation terrace, and space for sidewalk markets and cafes. Occupancy is scheduled for 2023.
Two Lakeside Banks Now Complete
Two Lakeside Bank branches completed in Oakbrook Terrace and Bridgeport over the summer. As seen in PH's portfolio of work with Lakeside Bank, each branch is unique and designed to relate directly to its site and context.
Situated in the vicinity of numerous corporate office campuses, the design concept at Oakbrook Terrace focused on modern aesthetics and the interplay of the building's volumetric massing. The Lakeside Bank at Bridgeport features historic design elements in a nod to the former Union Stock Yards just south of the bank location.
Architizer One Drawing Challenge
Greg Klosowski's hand sketch submitted to the Architizer One Drawing Challenge has been selected a finalist, three years in a row! This year, Greg submitted his ink on paper hand drawing, "Chicago : Drifted", which playfully reinterprets Chicago's Michigan Avenue that "defy[s] not only gravity but economic and ownership conventions, creating waves of assemblies that blur the historic blocks and obscure the metropolitan grid while accentuating important corridors such as this urban canyon". Similar sketches depicting different parts of Chicago have been submitted in the previous years, which have all been selected as finalists.
1400 S. Wabash Under Development
Following approval from the Chicago Plan Commission in August, 1400 S. Wabash acquired its foundation permit last month. The mixed-use residential tower located in Chicago's South Loop will rise 30 stories with 299 apartment units ranging from studio to 1- and 2-bedroom configurations. The development will also include a landscaped pocket park accessible for public use on its grounds.
The project is being headed by CMK Companies, who was also behind the development of Coeval – a PH-designed residential building completed in 2019 – which sits across the street from the new project site.
Nevel22 Under Construction
Chicago's West Town neighborhood is getting a new apartment building called Nevele22, and the photos show it's nearing completion! The blue and yellow exterior panels are mostly installed, and interior finishes have wrapped on the first few levels. The wedged-shaped 7-story building at 1122 W. Chicago will provide 97 rental apartments ranging from studio to 3-bedroom floor plans. A rooftop deck with grilling stations, dog run, and lounging area with panoramic city views are among the lifestyle amenities offered at the building. Retail spaces at the street level are set to join the vibrant commercial corridor at West Chicago Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue.
Moments in Nature
As a member of the Spring Creek Stewards, Ken DeMuth often spends his time out of the office volunteering at the 7,000 acres of Spring Lake Forest Preserve to keep invasive species away and help restore the land to its "pre-settlement" condition. While Ken has been working to restore the natural landscapes of Illinois, he has managed to capture on camera some extraordinary moments in nature. Ken was invited to display his collection of photographs at the Citizens of Conservation Art Show.
It's the season of sharing joy and giving back to the community! Once again, we participated in the "Letters to Santa" program, where handwritten letters by students from Chicago Public Schools located in disadvantaged neighborhoods were collected. Each PHamily member sponsored a child to buy the Christmas present requested in the letter.
A big thank you to everyone for taking part in the event!
The annual PH Pumpkin Carving Contest is arguably the most anticipated event of the year. A time when PH architects get to reminisce on the long grueling hours in architecture school making models with an X-Acto knife in hand, realizing that architecture school DID, in fact, prepare us for the real world – carving the best pumpkin on the block!
AIA 2030 Commitment 3-Year Badge
This year we reached our 3-year milestone since signing the AIA 2030 Commitment. PH made the pledge to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector, and work toward carbon neutral buildings by the year 2030. We are committed to reinforcing our sustainable design practices to benefit our clients, building occupants, and communities.
Peter Evanich has been leading the effort in project submissions to the AIA 2030 Design Data Exchange. We look forward to receiving our 4-year badge in 2022!
Cold Brook Crossing Under Construction in Sudbury, MA
Construction is underway at 36 North, a new 4-story residential development in Sudbury, Massachusetts. The contemporary craftsman-style buildings are designed with large windows to capture the surrounding woods and mountain views. The community offers 101 apartments distributed over two buildings, featuring light-filled interiors and boutique amenities including cafe-style lounges, a fitness center, and landscaped green spaces for the residents.
808 N. Cleveland Under Construction
Sited directly across from a PH-designed Hudson Tower, completed in 2017, a new 200-unit mixed-use apartment building is set to rise 22 stories at 808 N. Cleveland Ave, Chicago.
The project features various high-end amenities, including lounges, fitness rooms, and a co-working space. Atop the 5-story building podium is a landscaped roof deck with a pool, grilling stations, and dog runs. The units at the upper levels will have access to a large outdoor terrace with an impressive skyline view.
Three Awards for Grand Palmer Lodge
The Grand Palmer Lodge was the big winner this year, receiving three design awards! The adaptive reuse project at 3228 W. Palmer transforms a historic synagogue building into modern apartments with a corner park for community use. The project preserves a neighborhood icon that has served the Logan Square community for nearly a century and has given it a new purpose, this time as a residential building.
Christmas Ornament Decorating Competition
If there is one thing we've learned during the pandemic it's that PHamily gatherings have become more precious and meaningful and should not be taken for granted. So, before we headed home for the holidays, we had our last hurrah for the year with a Christmas ornament decorating competition!
🥇 Greg Klosowki
🥈 Sofia Ramos
🥉 Justin Palmer
Fifth + Broadway Grand Opening
The new Fifth + Broadway development in Nashville, Tennessee includes a residential tower, an office building, retail, restaurants, and entertainment components. The project celebrated its Grand Opening in March to mark its official completion. The PH-designed residential highrise at the west end of the development offers 387 apartments and a range of lifestyle amenities.
The building's podium is stylishly articulated to complement its historic urban context – its brick-clad exterior conveying a sense of permanence and age. In contrast, the apartment tower's modern, grey glass volume is designed to stand out as a recognizable feature in the city's skyline.
1847 N. Humboldt Project Complete
Located mid-block along Humboldt Boulevard, the Grand Logan Lodge transforms a century-old church into modern apartments. This adaptive reuse conversion incorporates six custom units within the church building characterized by the original exposed roof structure and pieces of the building history to create a unique experience for its residents.
The development also includes a new construction annex building with nine dwelling units connected via a set-back, glass-enclosed volume that acts as the building's central circulation and lobby.
The project was completed in April and leased to full occupancy by June.
Shahryar's Lunch Club
Since the pandemic, PH has been running a hybrid schedule, with some working at the office and others working remotely from home. With fewer people in the office, it had become harder to coordinate lunch with colleagues with different meeting schedules and deadlines, often resulting in eating alone at the desk.
When Shahryar Beyzavi joined PH in May, he was determined to eradicate the "sad desk lunch" phenomenon and introduced #LunchClub! Since then, the club has organized escapades to discover new local restaurants and spin the wheel to decide on lunch spots at random on busy days. All in all, this has been a great way to bring new staff into the fold, foster camaraderie, and most importantly, unwind and reset before getting back to work!
Staff Appreciation
PH comprises a unique group of creative individuals with diverse areas of expertise within the architecture industry, and this year, we welcomed seven such talented individuals to the PHamily! Each new staff made a positive impact on the firm, and we are lucky and thankful to have them join our team.
We've also had some exciting new promotions earlier this year, with Georgi Todorov and Scott Schultz being promoted to Associate, Carrisa Davis being promoted to Controller, and Adam Lavey, Greg Klosowski, and Robert Harris becoming shareholders of the firm.
Our amazing staff was at the heart of our incredibly busy and successful year, and we want to thank everyone for being an integral part of our growth in 2021!

SIG on Family Violence annual report
Special Interest Group News September 2018
Hagit Dascal-Weichhendler (Israel) at left, and Kelsey Hegarty (Australia) at right, co-convenors of the SIG on Family Violence report:
The Special Interest Group on Family Violence (SIG FV), active since 2014, has focused in 2017/18 on continuing our global connections and supporting family doctors to undertake identification and care of families affected by family violence.
The group continues to grow, connecting with other professionals who are interested in contributing their knowledge and ideas to the SIG FV. Our Call to Action statement of recommendations was approved by the executive group in March of 2018, focusing on exchange and dissemination of training curricula and new knowledge from research. The statement called for colleges and academies in WONCA to address family violence policy, training and procedures as a matter of urgent priority in order to have their members supported and resourced to manage this common problem effectively and in an evidence-based manner.
SIG FV has provided support, resources and education through presentations and workshops, including at the WONCA Rural Health Conference in Cairns (May 2017) the WONCA Europe conference in Prague (June 2017) and the WONCA Asia Pacific Regional Conference in Pattaya (November 2017). We have also contributed to a number of other conferences, such as the VdGM Family Violence Group in Strasbourg (April 2017) and the AfriWon Renaissance in South Africa (August 2017). Further to this, we are connecting with other groups such as the VdGM and Equally Different, with a successful workshop that had the objective to raise awareness of the characteristics and specific needs of the LGBTQ community related to partner violence presented at the 5th VdGM Forum held in Porto in January 2018.
An extremely productive meeting was held by the SIG FV (led by ex-chair Leo Pas) collaborating with the Europrev Working Group on Mental Health and Family Violence & the European Family Justice Centres Association in Brussels (December 2017) that gathered together an enthusiastic group of 130 representatives from multidisciplinary collaboration projects on domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse. The discussion centred around areas relating to family-oriented care, and to exchange information and risk management assessment in family violence, and the result aims to better promote a mutual understanding and collaboration of these issues amongst workers in the health care sector.
In 2018, we committed to several more conferences with abstracts accepted to hold workshops in WONCA Rural conference in India (April 2018), and WONCA Europe in Krakow (May 2018), and collaborated with both VdGM and WWWPWFM for these conferences.
We will continue to emphasize the needs for both training and research on FV. As a group we are collaborating with Dr. Raquel Gomez Bravo who is currently undertaking a PhD project related to training on Family Violence. SIG FV former Chair, Leo Pas, is currently working on training material with Young Doctors and Family Justice to combine their knowledge into a usable training package that eventually will be translated into English. We are continuing our efforts to strengthen young doctors' interest and involvement addressing family violence. We are also in the process of considering adding working consultancies to our group, to enable us to reach out, connect and support GPs and other health professionals, and to equip them with the tools and knowledge to better respond to cases of family and domestic violence.
At the international level we are exploring the idea of offering consultancies to regional areas, to help strengthen knowledge, education and training. We continue to cooperate with organizations such as the World Health Organisation and United Nations to support our goals of making Family Violence a global health priority.
Finally, we are continuing to connect and network through communications, and have started this by updating our website, and sending through a regular newsletter to our members.
