You could walk past Bluecadet’s office space without even noticing it, but the unassuming build-ing on the 1500 block of Frankford Ave is carving out a new niche in the economy of the River Wards. Bluecadet, along with other companies like O3 World, Jarvus Innovations and SEER Interactive is redefining the types of products for which Philly is known. Bluecadet is a digital agency. They work on everything from design-ing websites for universi-ties to installing large, multiuser participatory media in museums. A walk around the office shows their employees at

different stages of devel-opment with a mélange of different products. One person sits with their head down and headphones on composing music for an app. Another works on perfecting a digital in-teractive chemistry set. A third is perched on a stool looking down at a giant touchscreen laid out like a table. All of them are hard at work creating products that will be used all over the city and country. Josh Goldblum started Bluecadet in Washington D.C. after leaving a job at the Smithsonian Ameri-can Art Museum. After growing and relocating a few times, they decided to move to their current lo-cation in Fishtown. Gold-blum, originally from the

Abington area, says there were many factors which influenced his move to the neighborhood. He men-tions things like potential and architecture, but it comes down to something more simple. “It’s not as frenetic as downtown Philadelphia,” said Goldblum. “I just like the family environment of the neighborhood. I like the fact that this is like a real neighborhood. I like the mix of these businesses with the community and we’re really hoping we can really serve both.” It is not just the mix of business and commu-nity that makes the River Wards prime location for these companies. Chris Wink from Technically Philly has been follow-

ing Philadelphia’s bur-geoning tech sector since 2009. He says neighbor-hoods like Northern Lib-erties and Fishtown are well suited for this new outcrop of tech-focused business particularly since the demographics have changed. “I think we’re in a mo-ment where the new

people moving to those communities are the kind of creative class people who have design, market-ing, social web and similar backgrounds. So if you’re a firm, it’s a really sensible place to be,” said Wink. So many of these com-panies have taken root, particularly along North Third Street, that the city

has officially nicknamed the street N3RD Street. The moniker stretches from Market Street to Gi-rard Avenue. In that area, companies like Jarvus, SEER Interactive, Indy Hall and i-Site all call North Third Street home. That doesn’t mean N3RD Josh Goldblum, Founder and Creative Director at Bluecadet

poses in front of staff.

“It’s not as frenetic as downtown Philadelphia... I just like the family environment of the neighborhood. I like the fact that this is like a real neighborhood. I like the mix of these businesses with the community and we’re really hoping we can really serve both.” ~ Josh Goldblum

THE LOCAL LENS with Thom Nickelsby Thom Nickels

One of the greatest job opportunities for a young person today has to be in the security field. That’s right. For-get software technology, insurance, real estate, sales or becoming a law-yer. The security indus-try is the future. Let’s review. Going to law school is no longer a guarantee of getting a position with a reli-able law firm. There are just too many lawyers. In the last decade, I’ve met more out of work lawyers, or ex-lawyers, or law school dropouts than I can count. What about becoming a funeral director? That

can work but only if you do not have a fear of death, or dying. While there are no lawyers in my family, we do have funeral directors (the Donohoe Funeral Home Empire are relatives on my mother’s side). The death industry is a lucra-tive business, even with the popularity of crema-tion (somebody has to stoke the fires and gather the ashes). But it takes a special personality to work with dead people, especially in a culture where so many people are even afraid to attend funerals. How about real estate? While jobs in real estate may seem to be boom-ing, most of these “jobs” are part time and dicey

at best. Becoming a real estate agent these days is as common as becoming a mail order minister. In my own family, there are 4 or 5 real estate agents (and the numbers are still growing). These real estate nieces, nephews and one sister-in-law had

high hopes when they first got their license but once that happened, they discovered just how crowded the field is. For the most part, real estate jobs are a lot like baby-sitting jobs. Weeks can pass without any activity, but then there’s a high

cycle and all systems are go. In the interim, the agents stay glued to their cell phones twenty-four seven. “She’s showing another house,” I’ve heard my brother say many times, referring to his absent wife when I’d call on weekends. Real estate house showings know no boundaries—Sundays, holidays, even Christmas and Thanksgiving are all fair game “show” days. It’s the potential buyer, after all, who sets the schedule. The security industry, of course, has become big business since the nation went on a secu-rity roll after September 2001. There’s airport and Amtrak security,

TSA body friskers, yel-low vested agents pacing tarmac airfields, high-ways, parking lots, shop-ping malls, gas stations, vacant lots and isolated, overgrown-with-weeds Conrail yards. Go to a department store like Macy’s and you’ll see more security agents than customers. Yes, Virginia, the world has become a barbed wire camp, and with the new security conscious world there’s a preponderance of public cameras, both hidden and visible. In the Riverwards now there are scores of som-ber dressed in black secu-rity guards in the local Rite Aid, CVS, the vari-ous Dollar Stores and Dunkin Donuts. There are securi ty guards where there didn’t used to be security guards. There’s even a yellow vested security guard stationed in front of the Clothespin near City Hall. This guard stands mannequin-like watch-ing people as they loiter or wait for buses. Where are there not security guards, is per-haps the right question to ask, although whatever answer you might give will be sure to change by next year. Security jobs are lonely jobs where there tends to be a lot of standing and watching. Persons with weak knees (or eyes that cannot focus) need not apply. Ditto for fidgety types who can’t (and won’t) stand still. When security guards do move around, presumably it’s to patrol or “shadow” a shopper who seems sus-picious in some way. The trick for the guard is to do this without appear-ing to harass or follow someone outright, which might cause offense. One local store not far from my house has a stationed guard near the front en-trance, so that the guard is the first person you see when entering the store. As soon as the sliding glass door opens, you are confronted with a badge. This is a constant reminder that we live in that barbed wire society, and it’s depressing and disheartening. While these individual guards may be nice peo-ple, their role is to regard every customer as a po-tential thief and suspect, even if a customer hap-

pens to be a habited nun or an elderly woman in a flowered sun hat who walks with a cane. Even people in wheelchairs are prime suspects. Ev-erybody is a potential criminal. Given this situ-ation, how are we (the customer) supposed to react when we enter a store and come face to face with a guard who smiles and says hello but whose eyes seem to suggest that we may just be a shoplifter posing as “someone nice?” Accepting the new se-curity state as an un-fortunate inevitability suggests that we have come to terms with the fact that we live in a rot-

ten society where nobody can be trusted, and that we should just accept the fact that the same guard who smiles and nods to us when we enter a store will also watch us as we shop. Yet it is getting to the point where entering a store often involves forced ritual eye contact with a guard, even if you may not want to acknowledge the guard with a “Good morning.” “It’s a psychic energy drain,” as one friend of mine commented. “I might say hello to the sales clerk, but I don’t want to have to say hello to all of the guards in every store I visit. This makes it seem like pass-ing through US Customs. I just want to go into a store without being “in-

spected.” And I don’t want to go out of my way to smile and say ‘hi there’ when I just rolled out of bed.” One may blame the rowdiness of certain neighborhoods or cities for the new security state. “Are the people in this neighborhood prone to violent outbursts, or what?” I heard someone say, as they entered the local WAWA on a week-end night and counted four or five Philadelphia policemen standing in a row with their backs against the take-out sandwich counter. See-ing four police officers guarding an almost emp-ty store was an extremely odd sight indeed. Are things so bad in the Riverwards that it takes three or four Phila-delphia police officers to “guard” a WAWA, where at first glance the worst “criminal” offenses there seem only to be insistent panhandlers (Mother Teresa’s people), post-midnight drunks in multicolored Mohawks, lines at the gas pumps, or giggling girls rushing in for take-out snacks? One can only presume that WAWA knows what they are doing, but the negative effect of seeing so many police guarding a WAWA can be mis-leading. “Is your neighborhood turning into a slum?” a friend from out of town asked me several weeks ago. “Do you risk life and limb when going out for a cup of Hazelnut coffee? Has there been a shooting there?” “No,” I replied, “this neighborhood has always been super safe, and I know that most people here would like to keep it that way. “ Perhaps what I should have said is, “The guards are just standing around and waiting for that un-known something that may come down the pike…”•

Garrison’s Grocery has chosen the name Liberty for the name of our loyalty card because it is the first word in American consciousness. It was first made to mean something here in America. Liberty achieved independence and it made a nation. It was the word with which the American colonies electrified the world. It had been a dream despaired of elsewhere. Here it was realized. The soldiers of Rochambeau and the sailors of De Grasse and the soldiers of Burgoyne and Cornwallis went back to Europe to tell that Liberty was a fact in a new land and people everywhere have been freer since that day. This nation owes its existence to the desire for Liberty and it will maintain itself by that desire. So we chose Liberty for the name of the new loyalty card, Liberty because it is the last thing the true American possesses even if he is stripped of everything else.

Liberty is the innate, inherent principle of American life.

Street is the only place these companies can flour-ish. Like Bluecadet, the in-teractive agency O3 World have found themselves situated on the Frankford Corridor. The work O3 World does is amorphous. They do not provide a particular prod-uct, but instead a variety of solutions by concentrating on enterprise web design and development. In other words, they help compa-nies leverage technology to solve problems. “We’re more of an agen-cy for clients. So, rarely are they coming to us with just ‘here’s a brochure. We’re a website with ten pages, can you do it’” said Keith Scandone, Partner at O3 World. It is part marketing, part web development and a lot of understanding how people interact with tech-nology. They create things like the online shop for the White House Historical Association’s website and the famous Di Bruno Bros. They make interactive infographics for Thomson Reuters. The work they do is integral to how you experience brands online. The work created by O3 World is, in a lot of ways, complex, but at the same time it is very famil-iar. They create ways for companies to commu-nicate with their clients and customers. Before the ubiquity of the internet, this was accomplished with advertisements and store fronts. It was largely the realm of advertising agen-cies. Today, companies need to find new ways to interact with the public and those solutions can be found through technology with the help of compa-nies like O3 World. As it becomes more important for companies to com-municate in the digital space, tech companies like the ones sprouting up in Philadelphia will become more important.

Techcontinued from page 1

“If you’re a restaurant and you have a CRM you want a technologist on staff to help, said Chris Wink. “If you’re a bakery or a gas station or what-ever you want to be, if you want to build a business you need technology tal-ent to create the efficien-cies to make it work”. With all of the tech companies thriving in Philadelphia this could be a positive sign for the future economy of the city and neighborhoods like Fishtown and North-ern Liberties. Economics aside companies like O3 World and Bluecadet are already contributing in a lot of other ways. Both companies have worked hard to help out other lo-cal businesses and events and help build a sense of community amongst other tech companies and the neighbors who live here. “We did a site for Par-lour downstairs,” said

Scandone. “We did a site for the Kinetic Sculpture derby that recently took place. We helped the Lu-theran House across the street on their website. We’re kind of looked at as, almost, in some ways, a leader in this commu-nity and try to help out the community and host community events here”. Goldblum believes that while offering their skills and services to the com-munity is an essential part of their business, what the community can do to give back is much easier. “Just show up and be part of it,” he said. “Some of it is just bring-ing the right energy that will just keep this thing going and build momen-tum. And I think people want to be out there so-cializing and sharing and I think the more energy you can bring to that and the more positive energy you can bring to that, the more it will thrive.”•

N. 3rd Street from Market up to Girard is now known as N3RD Street due to the high concentration of tech companies along the corridor. The city has even changed some of the signs along the road to commemorate the title, like this one on N. 3rd Street and Spring Garden Avenue. /Photos: Matthew Albasi

For many people, the summer would not be complete without a trip to the beach. Spending lazy days on the beach and watching the seagulls dodge the surf is a popular warm-weather pastime. When faced with miles of sandy shorelines, have you ever wondered about the sand beneath your feet? Sand naturally occurs when rocks and mineral par-ticles are divided until they become fine and granular. The size and texture of sand can vary and gives geolo-gists an idea as to how the sand originated. Sand com-ponents vary based on geographic location and local rock sources. However, silica (silicon dioxide), calcium carbonate and aragonite are the primary components of the widest array of sand. Aragonite, which is granu-lar bits of sea life, including shellfish and coral, is the primary form of sand in many tropical areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for billions of years. Sand also can differ in color. Beaches with pink sand, for example, are found in very few locations, usually in

DID YOU KNOW about the Sand Beneath Your Feet? the Caribbean. The sand is the result of foraminifera, which are tiny sea creatures with red shells. As the shells break down into smaller pieces through time, they mix with other sands and form the pink hue seen today. •

CLEAN PLATE: Garlic Artichoke Pasta with Lemon

Casey Ann is a local foodie and blogger. Check out her recipes and reviews at www.cleanpl8.com

by Casey Ann Beck

With about five weeks left until Baby Beck’s ap-pearance, I was hoping to be less busy and wait for the whole “nesting” thing to kick in. It seems just the opposite; our schedule has been packed and whatever free time I have is spent off of my very swollen feet. Over the past two weeks, we’ve celebrated my brother’s high school graduation festivities with his senior awards assembly and graduation ceremony; we’ve spent as much time as we can down the shore, as our pending arrival has dic-tated when and where we can travel for the re-mainder of the summer; and last, but certainly not least (in my house, anyway) we’ve scheduled evenings based on World Cup games. Those events combined with the hand-ful of hot nights means my kitchen has been out of commission and we’ve rarely eaten dinners at home. Somehow I managed to carve out enough time over the weekend to make an easy dinner, and took into special consideration that I won’t be eating for two much longer – I have to take advantage of it while I still can. Lemons have been my obsession, but I’ve only been indulg-ing in the sweeter side of

the citrus fruit. This pasta recipe perfectly incorpo-rates their flavor into a savory dish.

Garlic Artichoke Pasta with Lemon1 box of dried pasta (I prefer whole wheat spa-ghetti)Extra-virgin olive oil1 large shallot, minced2 tablespoons minced garlic1 jar (12 oz.) marinated artichoke hearts, drainedZest and juice of one large lemon1 cup chicken broth¼ cup chopped basil1 tablespoon chopped chives1 tablespoon chopped sage3 Tbsp. unsalted butter2 tablespoons bread-crumbsSalt and freshly ground black pepperFreshly grated Parmesan cheese Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta

according to the pack-age directions. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook until soft. Add the artichoke hearts, lemon zest and juice, and chick-en broth. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and cook for about 10 minutes, un-til the liquid is reduced by half. Stir in two-thirds of the chopped herbs, add the butter and continue cooking and stirring until it blends into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep on low until the pasta is cooked. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, toss with the sauce, remain-ing chopped herbs, and bread crumbs. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This is one of those recipes that moves along smoothly; the two-part process can be done si-multaneously and, with things timed perfectly, you don’t feel as if you’re juggling too many spoons,

ladles, pots and pans. I prefer whole wheat pasta as my base, as I feel it has an earthy flavor that contributes well to but-ter sauces, but you can use whichever pasta you prefer. Garlic seems to be the star of the show, as there’s probably enough in this recipe to ward off a vampire, but the other ingredients overlap al-lowing it to peek through in each bite just enough. The butter and lemon combination is bright and smooth, and allows the sauce to coat every noodle evenly without a soppy mess at the bottom of your bowl. Fresh herbs and a very generous ad-dition of cracked black pepper incorporate a vibrant flavor, and the bread crumbs add a bit of texture. The artichoke hearts break apart during the cooking process, en-suring they scatter evenly throughout the pasta. I didn’t have to carve out too much time in my busy schedule to fit this recipe in but, let’s face it, I would have found time for it anyway. It’s a new favorite in my household and can be paired with chicken or shrimp to make a heartier meal. Though there was very little multi-tasking in the effort to make this pasta dish, we did eat it while watching a World Cup game, and I was able to cross two things off my schedule at once. •

Put the brakes on im-pulse buys, Aquarius. This week you may be tempted to spend more money than you have, and that will only lead to long-term financial concerns.

PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, it is time to re-brand yourself. This may start with a mini-make-over or more significant changes to your life and career.

Do not leave your pet alone in your car – vehicles heat up quickly in the sun, and animals left in them can succumb to heat stroke within minutes. Heat stroke is life threatening for both dogs and cats. Signs to watch for include heavy, loud breathing; a staggering gait; a bright red tongue or gum tissue; vomiting; diarrhea (sometimes blood); or changes in mentation and even seizures. If heat stroke is suspected, bring the animal to a cool place, put cold compresses on its belly, or wet it down. Because this is a medical emergency, take your pet to your veterinarian as quickly as possible. Brachycephalic (short-headed) dogs, particularly Bulldogs, and dogs with upper airway disease are particularly susceptible to over-heating during hot, humid days. To prevent your dog from overheating, do not exercise it in hot weather. If you want to run or walk with your dog, do it in the cool hours of the early morning or late evening. And be careful when walking your dog on hot pavement, as it can sometimes burn their footpads.Dogs and cats need a cool, shady place to sleep during hot weather, as well as plenty of clean, fresh water that is accessible at all times. Feed your dog or cat in the cooler hours of the day. Older animals have a hard time in hot weather, so be extra sensitive to their needs during the hottest hours of the day. Be sure that your pet’s vaccinations are up to date. Parvo virus, an illness that flourishes in hot weather, can be fatal to dogs that have not received vaccinations. Also, be sure your pet’s rabies vaccinations are current. During the summer months, pets often spend more time outdoors, increasing their chances of encountering wildlife (possible rabies carriers). It’s heartworm medication time! If your dog hasn’t been tested for heartworm this year, see your veterinarian. Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes, but it can be prevented by administering a monthly preventive between June and November. Additionally, make sure your pet receives flea and tick preventative medication. Many fleas and ticks carry infectious diseases that can affect your pet (e.g. Lyme Disease). Keep your pet well groomed. Daily brushing or combing lets you check for fleas and ticks. Ticks can carry infectious diseases and fleas can cause allergic reactions and “hot spots” in dogs. Hot spots are large, wet lesions that appear suddenly in areas where the dog has scratched. See your veterinarian for flea and tick preventives or if a hot spot appears. Play with your pet instead of simply stroking it to fend off July 4th firework fears. Playing a game with your pet when it shows early signs of anxiety, like pacing or trembling, can distract from the stressor and, in the long term, teach the animal to associate that same stressor with positive things such as play and treats. Follow your dog’s cue to help it “hide” in a favorite room or under a desk, complete with chew toys. Turn on the radio or TV to muffle outside noises. If your dog’s fear is severe, an appointment with the Penn Vet Behavior Service (215-898-3347) can help. Keep dogs away from picnic garbage. Ingesting corncobs and chicken bones can be life threatening.

Also, according to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the peels, fruit, and seeds of citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, limes, and grapefruits contain varying amounts of citric acid, limonin, and volatile oils that can cause gastrointestinal irritation and result in vomiting and diarrhea. The stems, leaves, and seeds of apples, cherries, peaches, and apricots contain cyanogenic glycosides that can cause vomiting and loss of appetite when eaten in large amounts. In severe cases, weakness, difficulty breathing, hyperventilation, shock, and even death can occur. In addition, grapes and raisins can cause severe kidney damage in dogs. Cats can develop kidney failure from chewing lily plants. Anti-freeze can be deadly, even in small amounts, to both dogs and cats. If you have a swimming pool, do not leave your dog unattended in the pool area. Not all dogs can swim and they can drown if they fall into the water.Use a heavy screen on windows or keep them closed if you have cats. During the summer, the number of cats suffering from “high rise” syndrome, or falling from windows, increases dramatically. Contrary to myth, cats do not land on their feet when falling from heights. The most severe injuries occur when cats fall from second- or third-floor windows. Penn Vet is a global leader in veterinary medicine education, research, and clinical care. Founded in 1884, Penn Vet is the only veterinary school developed in association with a medical school. The school is a proud member of the One Health Initiative, linking human, animal, and environmental health. Penn Vet serves a diverse population of animals at its two campuses, which include extensive diagnostic and research laboratories. Ryan Hospital in Philadelphia provides care for dogs, cats, and other domestic/companion animals, seeing nearly 33,000 patients a year. New Bolton Center, Penn Vet’s large-animal hospital on nearly 700 acres in rural Kennett Square, PA, cares for horses and livestock/farm animals, treating 33,000 patients each year – 4,100 in the hospital and 29,000 at farms through the Field Service. In addition, New Bolton Center’s campus includes a swine center, working dairy, and poultry unit that provide valuable research for the agriculture industry.
