Prunella Clough is one of Britain's most respected painters. She is this year's winner of the Jerwood Prize for painting, and Kettle's Yard in Cambridge recently organised a retrospective of her work. Clough's first solo show was at the Leger Galleries in 1947, and included still lifes and landscapes. Throughout the late 1940s, she frequented the Suffolk Coast and her paintings of the time often feature coastal subjects. 'The White Root', shown here, belongs to this phase and depicts a bleached root structure, a wooden box and other debris. Although Clough derived the subject from observed reality, she has characteristically developed the root's abstract qualities. It represents a natural object, but is also explored as a highly expressive form.

Released on May 16 at Quelossim-Cortalim, Rio de Cortalim's debut tiatr, 'Hench Bogsonnem Kai?'

All is well until the boy goes abroad, following which there is no information of him. His girl's best friend's brother, meanwhile, has been ditched by his lover and, in desperation, takes to alcoholism. Prodded by her friend to marry the boy, she agrees. But, although he gives up drinking after their marriage, she disappears after having spent just three days with him. Later, a body is discovered," the young director explains, refusing to reveal the rest of the plot. The cast of 'Hench Bogsonnem Kai?' comprises Martin de Ponda, Prakash, Aloma, Andrew, comedians Alver, Milton, Joel, Bladwin and Felcia, Valencio de Caranzalem, Tony de Ribandar, Rons, Anice Miranda and director, Rio. The musical troupe has Sunny de Cortalim on the keyboards, Nazareth on the saxophone, Agnelo Lobo on the trumpet, Seby on the bass guitar and Steford Fernandes on the drums. Romeo handles the light effects, and Harman, the stage sets. Over the last nine years, Rio has been penning Carnival folk plays. One year, he set a precedent by presenting six plays through two groups.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Adam Kirsch will spend just one season in a Texas Tech uniform after transferring from Florida International.
But he made the most of it, and on Tuesday the native of Spring was recognized as the Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year.
OKLAHOMA CITY - There are usually two types of teams in the Big 12 Championships.
The first group is the teams that have to win the double-elimination tournament to earn the league's automatic berth into the NCAA postseason.
Texas Tech senior outfielder Adam Kirsch was named the Big 12 Conference player of the week after his two-home run effort helped lead the Red Raiders to a weekend sweep of West Virginia.
For the first time in a decade, a Texas Tech baseball team makes the trek to Oklahoma City all but guaranteed to play next week. Where they play, however, could still be up to them.
The Texas Tech baseball team is bound and determined to force the NCAA selection committee to come up with a good reason why the Red Raiders shouldn't host a regional in two weeks.
Teams that catch the eye of the NCAA committee in late May are the ones that are on a roll.
The teams resume the series Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Rip Griffin Park.
Tim Proudfoot and Bryant Burleson couldn't be from more diverse backgrounds, yet couldn't be closer as teammates if they were Siamese twins.
When TCU and West Virginia entered play in the Big 12 Conference last season, few expected the Mountaineers to be the newcomer to have the most success.
Texas Tech baseball was off this week for finals, and while the Red Raiders sequestered themselves in study hall, the rest of the Big 12 Conference revolved around them.
But, then, there really wasn't all that much movement.

I cannot seem to uncheck all of the checkboxes of a checkbox list. Is there any way to allow this?
I cannot seem to uncheck all of the checkboxes of a checkbox list. Is there any way to allow this?
I was able to get this working by moving a line of code around. On line 627 of verve-meta-boxes.php I moved "delete_post_meta($post_id, $key);" outside of the if statement so that it will always delete the existing data. Then, it will save if needed in the following if statement.
PS - I am not a WP guy and have not spent more than 30 seconds on this so use at your own risk.
I have this issue too.
Aleis - your 'fix' didn't work for me (not keen on editing plugin files anyway).
Only way to delete a selected checkbox is to 'reveal' the Custom Fields box and delete from there AND delete from the Verve Box too. Is ok for me, but not an acceptable fix for clients.
Would be good to get a fix for this :)
The fix worked for me—thanks!
I don't like editing plugin files either, but until the creators update that bug, I guess that's what I'll have to do.

Couple readies for Philippines' missionary work
By DON MUNSCH
Globe-News Staff Writer
Connie Cox taught nursing to graduate and undergraduate students at West Texas A&M University. But now, Cox will trade her teaching talent from physical care to spiritual care, as she departs for the Philippines for missionary work.
Connie Cox, along with husband Bob Cox, will teach at the Berean Bible School in Surigao City, Philippines. The Amarillo-based couple departs Thursday. They will spend some time in Oklahoma before going to the Philippines.
As directors of the school - which has been closed for three years and will reopen in September - the Coxes said they will be involved in all aspects of its operation and long-term planning. The couple also will work with the Full Gospel Revival Tabernacle, which involves visiting numerous churches and ministry stations scattered throughout the islands of the Philippines.
They also plan to preach in revivals and conduct seminars and conferences. The Coxes plan to host visiting ministry teams, evangelists, pastors, missionaries and teachers.
"We really love teaching the Bible and sharing it with others," Connie Cox said.
Bob Cox left his job at Cornerstone Outreach Center, a ministry in Amarillo. Despite leaving their families to work overseas, they said they enjoyed their previous stay in the Philippines and desired to go back.
They jumped at the chance when an opportunity opened up at the Berean Bible School.
The two will work with Severo and Emilia Tabile at the school. The Coxes said the Tabiles had been praying that an older American couple would come take over operations of the school.
"We count many things as miracles in the connections we've made," Bob Cox said.
Connie Cox and Bob Cox were divorcees when they met in January 1995 in a church in Griffin, Ga. They married two months later. They attended Christ For The Nations Institute in Dallas, and came to Amarillo a little more than a year ago. They are missionaries through the Oklahoma-based Independent Assemblies Fellowship.
Connie Cox said she enjoyed WT's relaxed atmosphere.
"I really did love teaching here, and if I weren't going to the Philippines, I'd stay here and teach," said Connie Cox, who has taught at other schools, including the University of South Carolina. "I never worked with a faculty that was nicer than at West Texas. The teachers get along with one another and work well with another. That's kind of rare in a college setting these days."

BuSpar (buspirone) is not a narcortic.
BuSpar is an anti-anxiety medicine (that is not chemically or pharmacologically related to the benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other sedative/anxiolytic drugs) that affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety.
BuSpar is used in the treatment of anxiety disorders and and for short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety, such as fear, tension, irritability, dizziness, pounding heartbeat, and other physical symptoms.
I'm not sure about it's effects on the blood test though.

In landscapes where natural habitats have been severely fragmented by intensive farming, survival of many species depends on connectivity among habitat patches. Spatio-temporal structure of agricultural landscapes depends on interactions between the physical environment and farming systems, within a socio-economic and historical background. The question is how incentives in agricultural policies may influence connectivity? May they be used to manage the land for biodiversity conservation? We used simulations based on property field maps to compare connectivity on the same landscape during seven years of crop succession for two dairy farming systems, one being representative of conventional systems of western France, the second one representative of systems undergoing intensification of production. Connectivity is a measure of landscape structure and species characteristics based on individual area requirements and dispersal distance. Models used are based on weighed distances, considering differential viscosity for different land uses. The results show that, for a given farming system, physical and field patterns constraints are such that landscape connectivity remains the same over years, while it is significantly different between the two farming systems. This is consistent with the recent input of policies to promote environmentally friendly farming systems, and confirms that policies must encounter the landscape level. The analysis also demonstrates that the localisation of forest patches, resulting from long term land cover changes, plays a central role in connectivity and overrides changes in agricultural land uses.

Officers with the Paris Police Department, the 15th Judicial District Drug Task Force, the Magazine Police Department and the Logan County Sheriff's Department conducted a search warrant last week at a residence on South Roseville Street in Paris and seized a large amount of suspected methamphetamines, a car reported stolen in Sallisaw, Okla., about $1,000 in cash and numerous items previously reported or suspected to have been stolen.
Paris Police Chief John O'Brien called the amount of suspected drugs seized one of the largest he's seen in Paris.
"As far as the meth goes, it's the largest amount I've seen in a while," O'Brien said Monday. "This was a big bust."
According to Joe Patterson, an agent with the 15th Judicial District Drug Task Force, the suspected methamphetamines seized weighed between two and three ounces, based on a field test.
"The official weight will have to come from the Arkansas Crime Lab," Patterson said. "But, it's a good chunk. Most of what we deal with weighs in the grams."
Patterson estimated the street value of meth at between $1,500 and $1,800 an ounce, meaning the amount of suspected meth seized last week is worth between $3,000 and $5,400.
Also seized was seven ounces of suspected marijuana, estimated by Patterson to be worth between $525 and $560 on the street.
Three men were arrested and charged in connection with the case. They are Rob Poole, aka Rob Bates, 34 of Paris, Joe Sidney Helms, 64, and Rick Amos Brock, 53, both of Sallisaw, Okla. The three men were jailed at the Logan County Detention Center in Paris.
Poole, aka Bates, has been charged with six felonies including theft by receiving, possession of methamphetamines, possession of drug paraphernalia, simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, altering or changing an engine or other numbers, and possession of a schedule IV controlled substance with intent to deliver. Helms and Brock have been charged with three felonies each, including theft by receiving, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Stolen property seized included a blue, 2003 Toyota Corolla reported stolen from Sallisaw, Okla. According to incident reports, Helms and Brock arrived at the residence in the car while officers were conducting their search.
Other stolen property seized included a camouflage game camera, a Cannon EOS camera with stabilizer lens and carrying bag, a stainless steel grill, a camouflage flack vest with trauma plate and a dirt bike with the Vehicle Identification Number removed.
O'Brien said at least 50-plus possibly stolen items were found at the residence.
"We couldn't determine whether a lot of them were stolen because either the serial numbers had been removed or the property owner didn't have serial numbers for items suspected of being stolen," O'Brien said. "We checked more items than I can accurately count."

Spatial status: The homeless and urban space
Milne, Elizabeth

Permanent link to Research Bank record:http://hdl.handle.net/10652/1531
This project investigates how the design of urban space might be influenced by the social phenomenon of homelessness. In central Auckland there are on average 150 homeless sleeping rough within a one kilometre radius of the Sky Tower. Homeless are drawn to the urban realm to receive social service support and to become absorbed within the public life of the city. Observations into what spaces homeless occupy and how they occupy them reveals a set of features including; alcoves, stairs, retail walls and bus shelters. These features form a basis for design that engages with the homeless. The underlying premise of this project is that Auckland's homeless are worthy of attention in the design process. The aim of the project is to develop a set of design techniques that will assist with the design of public space to help achieve inclusiveness and greater social equity.

Transfer of maternal hormones to the eggs is a major source of offspring phenotypic variation. The developmental and organizational effects of egg hormones can extend into adulthood and affect behavioral and morphological traits involved in sexual and reproductive behavior, with important consequences for offspring fitness. In this study, we injected testosterone (T) in egg albumen of captive ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) eggs. We then assessed the consequences for chick growth, cell-mediated immunity, and multiple male secondary sexual traits at maturity by comparison with a control group. We also compared the covariation between traits in the two experimental groups. We found that control males had redder wattles than males from T-injected eggs, suggesting that attractiveness and reproductive success of the offspring might vary depending on maternal transfer of T to the eggs. T treatment also modified the covariation between cell-mediated immunity and wattle coloration and between the area of the wattle and the expression of another secondary sexual trait, the ear tufts. These effects are likely to translate into fitness differences among the offspring if mate acquisition depends on the simultaneous expression of several traits that are differentially affected by the same maternal contribution. Maternal effects mediated by egg hormones might affect the fitness of the offspring not only by directional modification of phenotypic traits, but also by facilitating or inhibiting their covariation. This suggests the possibility that female choice based on the relative expression of multiple secondary sexual traits exerts a pressure on how maternal transfer of androgens contributes to developmental programs.

These selections present the core of Krishnamurti's teaching on meditation, taken from discussions with small groups, as well as from public talks to large audiences. His main theme is the essential need to look inward, to know ourselves, in order really to understand our own—and the world's—conflicts. We are the world, says Krishnamurti, and it is our individual chaos that creates social disorder. He offers timeless insights into the source of true freedom and wisdom.

I stayed at the Beach House for about 2 weeks. It was class. The whole vibe of the place and the attitude of the staff was awesome. You're perfectly placed to get out surfing with a few breaks to choose from nearby. I can't comment on rooms as I was staying in a hammock but in terms of value for money, overall goodness and really fun place to stay you'll be hard pressed to beat the Beach House.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Beach House is a small hostel located just outside the center of Tamarindo. Close enough to have everything in walking distance - it takes 5 min to get to the shops, bars, restaurants, banks and anything else you need, but far enough to get a good night's sleep with the sound of the ocean in the background. It is the perfect place if you're here to surf. Just in front of the hostel you will find the best breaks in Tamarindo. Wake up, grab your board and get in the water. And after a long day of surfing it's time to relax, have a cold beer and watch the sunset in our big tropical garden, where monkeys, parrots, hummingbirds and iguanas make their occasional visits. Our friendly staff is always more than happy to help you organize your surfing trips, excursions into one of the many national parks or just to show you around town. Of course we have all the good stuff like free wifi, free breakfast, private beach access, safe parking area, cable TV, big balcony on the 2nd floor, next to Baulas National Park, laundry room, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. ... more less

- The Beach House Hotel Tamarindo

The Cherries were thumped 6-0, with Sami Khedira, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria and Casemiro adding to a Cristiano Ronaldo double in front of a capacity crowd.
But Howe was upbeat about the relationship that developed between the clubs over the weekend and hopes it may work in their favour further down the line.
"I got the chance to chat to Carlo Ancelotti which was a real treat for me," he said. "Hopefully they enjoyed the game here and hopefully we can build good links between the clubs.
"You can't have too many good relationships with people in foreign leagues and who knows what the future holds? Certainly they've been very good with us and hopefully the relationship between the clubs has improved."
The Cherries started strongly and more than held their own for the first 20 minutes before the goal rush began and despite the quality of the opponents, Howe revealed his dressing room was still an unhappy one at the final whistle.
"The feeling after was disappointment," he said. "No one wants to get beaten and no one wants to lose. It is a horrible feeling no matter who you lose to. We are not downhearted but we are disappointed.
"From our perspective we knew it was going to very difficult and we didn't want to change anything too much so we could test our players with our style of football. It was a great experience for our lads."

Two other inmates were transferred to an Ottawa County Sheriff's Department patrol car after the crash and taken back to the jail.
All of the injuries were minor and damage was minimal, said Sgt. John Wolffis of the Sheriff's Department, who policed the scene.
Wolffis said a county corrections officer driving the Sentence Work Abatement Program (S.W.A.P.) van started to pull off School Street and onto westbound Savidge Street at about 1:20 p.m., but stopped due to an approaching eastbound vehicle. The van backed up to allow the car to pass, and the van's trailer hitch hit the bumper of a Toyota Camry that was stopped behind it on School Street.
Capt. Bob Tease said the corrections officer driving the vehicle is not suspended, Tease said. The conditions of the inmates taken to the hospital were also unknown, he said.

Virginia Oil and Gas Association Statement on EPA's Release of its Study of Drinking Water and Hydraulic Fracturing
Virginia's Natural Gas Industry has made it a priority to focus on the safe and environmentally sound production, extraction, and transportation of the state's natural gas resources for more than 80 years. At the request of Congress, the US Environmental Protection Agency conducted a five year "state-of-the-science assessment" of available data on hydraulic fracturing across the United States. The EPA's draft study affirms that hydraulic fracturing does not present systemic impacts on drinking water. In Virginia, more than 9,600 wells have been drilled with no cases of groundwater contamination associated with hydraulic fracturing.
Virginia's natural gas industry will continue to focus its efforts toward the safe and environmentally sound production of abundant and affordable natural gas resources within our Commonwealth. For more information on Virginia's Natural Gas Industry please visit www.vanatgasfacts.com or www.vaoilandgas.com
Download the 2015 Virginia Natural Gas Facts book for economic impacts, information on Hydraulic Fracturing, Pipelines, and more.
Remember FRACKING FUELS YOUR Summer Fun!
Plastics, motor fuel, electricity, and synthetic clothing are just a few of the thousands of products made possible by fracked oil and natural gas.
Remember when you start your car, play in the sand, go swimming, or play a round of Golf...Fracking fuels.... YOUR Summer adventures!

Soldier Will Admit to Killing Sixteen Afghan Villagers, and Discuss the Shooting
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales must talk to avoid the death penalty.
Under a plea deal with Army prosecutors, the soldier accused of slipping away from his unit and killing sixteen afghan civilians last year will not face the death penalty if he admits to the crime and finally talks publicly about it. It will be the first time Staff Sgt. Robert Bales will have spoken openly about the night he allegedly went on his killing spree. So far, he's said he remembers very little about it. "But as further details and records emerged, Bales began to remember what he did, the lawyer said, and he will admit to 'very specific fact' about the shootings," the AP reports. The relatives of those killed said no prison sentence was harsh enough. One who lost his daughter and mother told the AP: "I know we have no power now. But I will become stronger, and if he does not hang, I will have my revenge."

Kinect only :(
Who else wishes this was compatible with a controller as well? I have nothing against kinect, it's just the simple fact that I don't own one and don't want one, and I really enjoyed Mini Ninjas so was looking forward to this.
yeah man i want this too but dont wanna use the kinect
This sucks, I don't have Kinect!
what is worse is that you have to shout 'Ninja' kinda loud to the kinect several times to be allowed to progress through the game. very annoying if you want to keep your flatmates-relationship in a good climate and don't want them to think you are a retard weirdo.

"The World's Unhappiest Capital City!" Chisinau by Jetgirly
Chisinau Travel Guide: 298 reviews and 670 photos
After I read Eric Weiner's "The Geography of Bliss" I knew I had to include a visit to Moldova, the least happy country in the world, in my summer holiday. So after soaking up the sun on the Turkish Coast I flew from Antalya to Istanbul and on to Chisinau... a city that was at once totally unpredictable and exactly what I'd expected.
- Pros:Amazing vegetarian food, dirt-cheap shopping, the fear factor.
- Cons:(Unsurprisingly) little developed tourism infracstructure.
- In a nutshell:Go, just so you can say you did.

I would disagree in that they were wrong on the July 5 18Z TWO when they lowered 95L to "near 0%". They know that rapid organization/dissipation occurs and there is no skill in forecasting it. Never discount a potential system untill it has dissipated.

Pace Teams
Fleet Feet Sports Madison will be providing the Fleet Feet Pacing Team, sponsored by Brooks, for the 2016 Madison Mini-Marathon. Eight goal finish time groups will be offered with two pacers leading the group to finish at the target time.
All Mini-Marathon Participants will be able to meet the Pacers at the Mini-Marathon Expo on Friday, August 19th between 12 and 8pm. For planning purposes, those Mini-Marathon participants who wish to run with a pace group will be encouraged to register for that pace group at the Expo. The Pacers will have a dedicated booth at the expo and once signed up, participants will be provided with a pacing bib identifying them as part of that pace group.
The same pacers will also be the pace-group leaders for the Sunday long runs with the Fleet Feet Sports Mini-Marathon Training program between June and August. Participants must sign up for the training program in order to train with the pacers.
On race day the 8 pace groups will be clearly labeled in the starting corrals. Once participants find the appropriate corral they will queue up for the start. All Pacers will be in the appropriate corral by 6:45 am.
If you have any questions please contact Matt Anderson at Fleet Feet Sports firstname.lastname@example.com.
*In addition to the Flag Warning System and notification of change at all Mile Markers via air horns and colored flags, Pace Team Leaders will adjust their pace accordingly. In the event of a flag change, Pace Team Leaders will slow their speed and encourage runners around them to slow down and drink plenty of water. At this time, the race no longer has Pace Teams and Leaders will drop their signs and monitor pace for safety.*

El Salón México
El Salón México is a symphonic composition in one movement by Aaron Copland, which uses Mexican folk music extensively. Copland visited Mexico several times in the 1930's. The four melodies of the piece are based on sheet music he purchased during his visits.
Analysis and history[edit]
A 25 second sample of "El Salón México" demonstrating the refrain based on "El palo verde"
|Problems playing this file? See media help.
The work is a musical depiction of an imaginary dance hall in Mexico City, which, its name implies, represents the country of Mexico as Copland perceived it. The subtitle was "A Popular Type Dance Hall in Mexico City."
Copland observed that he despaired of the ability to portray, or even understand, the complexity that is Mexico. He continues to say that what he wrote, and what he knew he was writing, was a portrayal of the "visible" Mexico, to some extent the touristy Mexico. He chose dance as the vehicle for his musical portrayal.[citation needed]
Although Copland wrote in his autobiography that he had been taken to "El Salón México" by Carlos Chávez, he also learned of it from a guidebook:
Perhaps my piece might never have been written if it hadn't been for the existence of the Salón México. I remember reading about it for the first time in a tourist guide book: "Harlem-type nightclub for the peepul [ sic in the source quoted], grand Cuban orchestra. Three halls: one for people dressed in your way, one for people dressed in overalls but shod, and one for the barefoot." When I got there, I also found a sign on the wall which said: "Please don't throw lighted cigarette butts on the floor so the ladies don't burn their feet."
…In some inexplicable way, while milling about in those crowded halls, one really felt a live contact with the Mexican people — the atomic sense one sometimes gets in far-off places, of suddenly knowing the essence of a people — their humanity, their separate shyness, their dignity and unique charm.[1]
The work contains three musical styles and goes through the series of three twice, starting each time with the upper-class music, passing through a more vigorous working-class music, and ending with the foot-stomping dance of the peasantry. Divisions between the sections are clear, as if one had walked through a doorway. The upper-class music suggests formal European dancing of the nineteenth century, ugly and even a bit sissified, anything but lyrical. The peasant music is far richer rhythmically and more powerful, with a suggestion of the pre-Hispanic (Indian) in it. The work's conclusion celebrates this kind of music, not that of the well-to-do. Musically, the work displays beautifully Copland's populism.
Copland began the work in 1932 and completed it in 1936. The Mexico Symphony Orchestra gave the first performance under the direction of Carlos Chávez in 1937. The piece was premiered in the U.S. in 1938. Although Copland visited Mexico early in the 1930s, he based this tone poem not on songs he heard there, but rather on written sheet music for at least four Mexican folk songs that he had obtained: "El palo verde," "La Jesusita," "El mosco," and "El malacate." The powerful refrain that appears in the piece three times stems from "El palo verde." Critics have variously described the piece as containing two, three, or four parts, but many listeners find that it moves seamlessly from one theme to another with no clear internal boundaries.
At least three arrangements of the piece exist in addition to the orchestral score. Copland adapted the work for the 1947 musical film Fiesta, directed by Richard Thorpe for MGM. Leonard Bernstein created arrangements for solo piano and for two pianos, four-hands very shortly after the premiere. In addition, a piano transcription of the score was made by conductor Arturo Toscanini in 1942, when the Maestro included the music on an NBC broadcast concert.
In 2006, Paul Glickman and Tamarind King started work on an animated short film based on the Aaron Copland score. In 2007 "El Salón México" received a New Mexico New Visions $20,000 work grant. In 2009 "El Salón México" debuted at The Film Museum Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The computer-animated short was accepted into the following film festivals: Rome International Film Festival (2009 winner, Sylvia Award for Best Animation), Independent's Film Festival (2009 winner, Best Independent Animation), Santa Fe Film Festival, Kids First Film Festival, Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and the Tiburon International Film Festival. Additionally, it was named Best of Fest as one of "the best films you've never seen" of 2010.
Leonard Bernstein (for Columbia Records and Deutsche Grammophon) and Copland (for Columbia Records) himself conducted recordings of the work. Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra performed the music in a broadcast concert on March 14, 1942, which was preserved on transcription discs; according to biographer Mortimer Frank, Copland praised the performance in a radio interview. Other conductors who made recordings of El Salon Mexico include Arthur Fiedler, Eugene Ormandy, and Eduardo Mata.[2] Serge Koussevitsky, Boston Symphony Orch., recorded Nov. 1939 RCA Victor Album M651, transferred to Pearl GEMM 9492.

Segal: Speed and Flexibility Matter
June 8, 2009-- Home Textiles Today,
Retailing over the next few years will have to change radically, becoming quicker and more flexible to keep pace with consumers.
To remain successful, "we all will have to focus on logistics, custom products and quick availability," said Gordon Segal, co-founder and chairman of Crate and Barrel, the 166-unit lifestyle specialty store retailer.
In home furnishings especially, "we will have to be very quick and flexible," he said pointing to fast fashion apparel retailers like Zara and H&M as examples of the new direction.
"Consumers will no longer have biases about the type of stores they will shop in. Their demands are going to rise — and retailers will have to change and be better than the next guy," he remarked in an exclusive conversation with Home Textiles Today ahead of receiving the Lifetime Humanitarian Award by the Anti-Defamation League.
The award will be presented June 11 at a dinner/dance sponsored by the National Home Furnishings Industry division of the ADL.
"The ones that succeed in retailing in the future will be the ones most agile and quick. Customers are going to be more demanding than ever," he said.
And for the home furnishings segment of retailing, the focus will be on speed of delivery while at the same time providing custom products. "Customers want what they want and they want it quick. Look at the growth of special medications, clothing to order and specially outfitted cars."
Gordon cited his own company's track record in furniture — typically one of the slowest in terms of customization and delivery. "It used to be a matter of weeks to deliver stock furniture, now we deliver in five to seven days, and customers now expect two to three days."
To accommodate this aspect of the new retailing climate, the company is contemplating a new warehouse in New Jersey.
Pointing to Amazon as having set the standard for delivery service, Segal emphasized the new consumer mantra is "I want to get it when I want it."
Segal also pointed to the entire scope of product development as undergoing immense change. "Today, by the time a product is developed and sent to the manufacturer, it is knocked off."
In addition to speed to market, Segal views constant attention to quality as a critical piece of retailing survival in coming years. Again using furniture as an example, he said, "No matter where we have the furniture made it has to be good like hardwood construction with quality springs and upholstery — high quality with no defects."
In textiles, there is the challenge of offering more variety. "The consumer has a lot more creative choices, so many more options, more variety and opportunity for selection." If coming from overseas, "we have to have the ability to communicate effectively, help design a fabric and get it into production before you get home."
Overall, Segal opined, "Our job is to deliver quality. It has to be good even at lower prices." And while the marketplace has shifted in large measure from handmade to mass produced, "we still will have handmade in glassware and textiles." In fact, he observed "the whole shift in product production has shrunk the world."
And while product and product differentiation are key elements in Crate's success, Segal has his eyes closely fixed on the stores and the company's burgeoning direct business.
Looking at the company's roster of stores, which now also include six CB2 stores dedicated to a younger, urban customer, Segal said "I'm increasingly asking, 'Do we need stores this big? Is it necessary to carry a full array of product in every store?' " The question is key especially in view of the growing significance that catalogs and the internet have on company sales.
Using furniture again as the example, he pointed to the category's success on each medium.
But in questioning the need for big stores, he asked, "How far do we cut back the assortments without challenging the full array of product that gives us the impact?"
Similarly, "if we make the catalog smaller by too much it completely changes the impact and the impression of the offering. The breadth of offering is as much a factor as price in our success. We have to give selection, range of price and variety of choice in look, style and price."
Looking at an area of retailing that many others have cut back, Segal emphasized, "Well trained personnel are more important than ever — they're critical. In these times and ahead, consumers will be even more demanding than ever." The ability to communicate with customers will be more important than ever, and a skilled sales force is the front line for that, he said.
Turning to overall business, Segal said, "What we're going through now is a tsunami. The forecast is that the GDP will be down. There's never been a more spectacularly interesting time than now. The big question is how much retailing will come back from what it was."
One of the critical keys to future success, he emphasized, will be the ability to be very quick at change — "better than the next guy with a greater need for flexibility, and customer service. It was much slower 20 or 30 years ago."
Crate now changes its assortment store-wide six times a year — "all products except furniture, which is now twice a year."
Segal, who started the company in 1962 with his wife Carole, stepped down as ceo of the company in 2008, handing the reins to long-time associate Barbara Turf . He now serves as advisor and chairman, in addition to his many outside interests. "Barbara has done a great job in very difficult times," he emphasized.
Segal has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Cooper-Hewitt Design Patron award and the National Retail Federation Gold Medal award. He is a member of the World Congress' World Retail Hall of Fame. A former chairman of the National Retail Federation, he also is a member of the World Presidents' Organization and the Chief Executives' Organization.
As for himself, Segal said "It's been an incredible journey. I've been able to develop and sell quality merchandise in quality stores — and make a living."
