The BikeBoard Rolls out on boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese

2007-12-17T15:56:00.000-05:00

PITTSBURGH, PA. - Kraft Foods is serving the BikeBoard as a compliment to its "cheesiest" product. Last year, the BikeBoard was featured in packaging and advertisements for Kraft Foods' Capri Sun fruit drinks. Now, the BikeBoard is appearing on boxes of Kraft Foods' Macaroni & Cheese.

The BikeBoard's prominence in Kraft's packaging and advertising speaks to the product's success. George Davison, CEO of Davison, is delighted to see the company's product on the back of Kraft's famous blue and yellow boxes. "It just amazes me to see our product there, on a box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, illustrated with all of the vibrancy and playfulness that makes it so distinctive," says George Davison.

Davison, a Pittsburgh-based product design company, was responsible for creating this novel product. Southern California native, John Iavarone, came to Davison with an idea for a hybrid sport product that could mimic the sensation of surfing. Iavarone's idea was transformed into reality through Davison's trademarked product development process. This skateboard and bicycle hybrid won an Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA) from the Industrial Designers Society of America, and was featured in BusinessWeek magazine.

Currently manufactured and distributed by The BikeBoard Company, LLC., the BikeBoard is one of Davison's most popular products. It has sold in various sporting goods and toy store chains and has appeared on ABC'S "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," "The Gear Guru," "American Chopper," and in the 2005 remake of "The Bad News Bears."

Davison is a new product development company that helps inventors, corporations and entrepreneurs. The company's services include research, industrial design, video, animation, product samples, packaging, presentation and royalty management. Learn more at http://www.davison54.com/.

Believe it or not, Inventionland featured in Ripley's "The Remarkable... Revealed"

2007-11-02T09:42:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH, PA - Ripley's Believe It or Not! describes Davison's Inventionland as a "Tree-mendous Office." The title is fitting for the Pittsburgh-based creative design facility, which is outfitted with a pirate ship, tree house and giant robot. In the recently published book, "The Remarkable... Revealed," the Ripley's franchise features Inventionland among many unique places, people and events from around the world.

Occupying nearly 60,000 square feet, with grassy knolls, larger-than-life trees, an abundance of flowers, and butterflies that flap their wings, Inventionland is unlike any other workspace. New products come to life in Inventionland's "sets." Davison employees sketch out their latest product development ideas in sets related to their particular product class. Toy designers' ideas set sail on the deck of the pirate ship Discovery. Pet product designers ponder inside the Pet Shack, as cookware designers whip up their ideas in the Concept Kitchen. Designers of automotive products let their minds race in the Inventionland Motor Speedway, while sporting goods designers ensnare their thoughts in the Creation Cavern.

Inventionland developed from the remarkable vision of G. Davison, the company's founder and CEO, who believes that creative people thrive in an imaginative environment. Each set was specifically engineered to evoke childhood memories and creative thoughts.

When asked for his opinion of Inventionland, Geoff Tolsdorf of the Schroeder & Tremayne Corporation said, "Honestly, I felt a little like Alice shortly after she fell down the rabbit hole. I was positively blown away." Tolsdorf's reaction is like that of most visitors. Those who visit Inventionland inevitably conclude that indeed, anything is possible.

Mr. Davison is thrilled to have his creation recognized by Ripley's. "Inventionland has been the subject of many news articles, business tours, and community events, but this mention in Ripley's is a true honor," says Davison. "I have always admired Ripley's," Davison says, "because they are a company that celebrates unique individuals and out-of-the box thinking and creativity."

Davison is a new product development company that helps inventors, corporations and entrepreneurs. Last year, the firm received two Industrial Design Excellence Awards from the Industrial Designers Society of America and BusinessWeek magazine. Ripley's Believe It or Not! book, "The Remarkable... Revealed," is available for purchase in stores and online.

Davison's Client featured on the Golf Channel Show

2007-08-23T13:33:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH - August, 16 2007 - GOLF CHANNEL's new original series, “Fore Inventors Only,” recently featured inventor and Davison client Alfonzo Dowe, who hired Davison to produce a product sample of his invention the "Golf Ball Twister Cleaner.”

“Fore Inventors Only” scoured the country interviewing and auditioning more than 1,000 inventors to find a cast to compete in the series. The judges for the series, PGA TOUR professional Fulton Allem, Golf Digest top-50 golf instructor Bill Harmon, and Golf for Women Senior Editor Stina Sternberg, are responsible for critiquing and paring down the initial 103 inventors to five finalists.

Alfonzo survived three anxious weeks of panel auditions and made it to the top 38. Alfonzo came to Davison with a patent and poorly designed prototype. Through Davison's Inventegration® Process, we determined that additional modifications needed to be made. We provided him with a professional product sample that he used on the show to illustrate his new product.
Founder and CEO George Davison said, "It is great to see Alfonzo getting the attention he deserves for this product. I am so proud to see him make it this far. Congratulations Alfonzo!"

...On the consumer side of innovation management, George Davison, Founder and CEO of Davison International, has discovered a shortcut to key market information. "We're not critics, we let the buyer be our critics," Davison says. "Because you can spend $100K doing studies, where for $10K, I can get the whole thing done, soup-to-nuts in a package, show it to chain store buyers and get their feedback.

Davison Design: I.D. Magazine selects Jack 'N Stand for Honorable Mention in Annual Design Review

2007-05-17T10:59:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH –I.D. Magazine recently awarded Davison Design and Development's Jack 'N Stand, an innovation of the automobile jack, an honorable mention in the concept design category of its annual design review competition.

I.D. Magazine's Annual Design Review, featured in its August issue, recognizes the best in design, and in the past awarded innovators like Apple, Bose, BMW and others. The awards have chronicled the evolution of design and its effect on our culture since 1954.

" The Jack 'N Stand combines both into one and does the same job in half the steps, " Jason Rogge, one of the Jack 'N Stand's designers. "I'm proud that we've created a safe, faster solution for raising and working under a vehicle."

Davison Design and Development is a new product development company and home of Inventionland, a unique innovative workspace. Recently, Davison was ranked as one of the city's Top 50 Best Places to Work in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Ft. Walton Beach man creates wrist brace, now sold in a national pharmacy

2007-05-17T09:40:00.000-04:00

FT. WALTON BEACH, FLA. A Ft. Walton Beach man recently licensed an invention he created seven years ago to a national health products brand.

Robert Huffman, 60, currently working in Afghanistan for Kellogg, Brown and Root, created the 360° Hot & Cold Therapy Wrist Brace to deal with the pains he experiences in his own wrists as a plumber.

" I wanted something to take care of [the pain] and help other people, " Huffman explained, noting that nothing on the market currently helped.

The brace is part of a line released through Health Enterprises' Acu-Life brand. It uses a patented hot/cold gel encased in a brace system, designed to ease sprain and strain recovery while allowing for mobility. It also uses a removable splint. The product was recently private-labeled to a national pharmacy retailer.

Seven years ago Robert Huffman hired Pittsburgh's Davison Design and Development to develop, design and prepare his concept for manufacturing; however, it would be some time before it would be licensed.

"It completely blows my mind," said Huffman. "In my heart I knew it was a good product and someone would pick it up some day, and seven years later someone did."

Huffman has not yet realized a net profit on his recently licensed product.

Davison Helps Inventor: Sports fan finds success with Zip Guard invention

2007-05-08T13:36:00.000-04:00

Taking an idea to the market is no easy task. Getting players from Red Sox, Knicks, Yankees and celebrities like Roberto Clemente Jr. and even Jerry Seinfeld to wear it is an even more difficult task. But for 43-year-old Alberto Spies of New York he accomplished all of this despite setbacks along the way over an eight-year period.

"I paid my dues," Spies explained. "I threw my whole life work into this. I'm surprised I did this on my own."

In 1999, Spies created the Zip Guard with the help of Davison and the Inventegration® process. Spies designed the Zip Guard with Davison to protect baseball players' forearms, while keeping their tendons tight and reducing sweat. It's perfect for batting especially, preventing vibration in the hands. However, throughout the years, the idea moved on to include basketball, tennis and other sports. Spies mentioned that it prevents scrapes on the forearm while playing basketball or when sliding into a base during baseball.

The Zip Guard also underwent ACE testing, according to Spies, for durability.

"If you put on a wrist band, it doesn't even give 10 percent of what my product does," said Spies.

Although Davison couldn't match Spies with a corporation to license his product, he used Davison's design work when he negotiated a licensing agreement on his own with Spalding. However, today, he manufacturers, distributes and markets the product on his own.

The product sold 9,000 units in a Manhattan store in one month and 200,000 units in a year in the Dominican Republic. Spies even sold 5,000 to the Knicks.

"The product is so well accepted," he said. "I've been overwhelmed. It's taken off very well."

Along with various sports players wearing the product, it's become greatly popular with artists and celebrities. He says that hip-hop artist Nelly uses the product. He's even seen comedian Jerry Seinfeld wear the product while playing tennis.

Davison worked with Spies to design and develop the Zip Guard, transforming it into a prototype ready for manufacturing. Spies said this about his experience in an e-mail to Davison:

"I came to Davison with a sketch and an idea, and before my very eyes you made it a reality. It did not come easy but because of your professional and dedicated staff my vision came to life. I would highly recommend Davison to anyone with an idea. I have to say that never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would make it to this level. I thank you and your staff for fulfilling my dreams."

The celebrities described within this article or depicted in the photo do not endorse Davison and its services, and, to Davison's knowledge, do not endorse the Zip Guard.

The sideshow tumbler, a unique interactive cup, lights up when a button at the base is pressed, which initiates a short film strip to rotate around the cup. The dinner spinner and plate allows children to spin their food with a touch of a button. The collapsible food tray comes equipped with collapsible legs to prop up the dinnerware whenever necessary.

The products were created in the award-winning Pittsburgh design firm's InventionLand™, the world's most creative workspace.

Pittsburgh Design Firm Builds New Creative Work Environment Complete With a Tree House to Foster Creativity

2006-11-10T09:27:00.000-05:00

PITTSBURGH (Nov. 13, 2006) - Very few CEOs can say they work in a tree house - unless they're George M. Davison III, CEO and founder of Davison Design and Development.

The product design firm recently opened InventionLand™, an innovative workspace designed inside its Pittsburgh warehouse to foster creativity among its staff, known as Inventionmen™.

The more than 60,000 square foot facility uniquely features waterfalls, moats and offices on the deck of a "pirate ship," in a faux cave and in a castle. The one-of-a-kind facility was built almost entirely in-house.

"Get creative people out of cubes," said Davison, who founded the company in a basement in 1989. "If I'm going to ask these people to put their hearts, bodies and souls into a project, I'm going to recognize that, because that's a heck of a sacrifice. So, I wanted to give them the best possible place to create in."

InventionLand is composed of 15 departments divided by focus, including automotive, outdoors, juvenile, home and toys. Each department is designed to increase creativity and to offer an environment where the products being developed can be used, tested and photographed in-house.

Davison spends most of his time in Thinktank Treehouse, a workspace suspended on a large faux tree above a stream fed from a waterfall in the rear of the environment.

"InventionLand is made to inspire creative people," Davison explained. "It was built to move belief out of the intangible mental realm and into the physical world. If you're walking in it and living in it, it's easier to be creative."

In addition to the unique, creative environments, InventionLand is part of Davison's factory, producing about 200 new product samples every month. The factory focuses on package samples, prototyping and product construction. For additional information on InventionLand visit InventionLand.com.

Davison Employee Licenses New Cooking Pot for Infomercial Marketing Firm

2006-10-16T14:44:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH – A Pittsburgh product designer and Art Institute graduate recently licensed a new cooking pot he designed and built to an infomercial marketing firm.

Frank Kulikowski created the Pivot Pot on his own about three years ago as a personal project. After joining Davison Design and Development in Pittsburgh, he used the design firm’s resources to design and build the pot. Davison designers are allowed to use the company’s resources and materials to build and design a personal project once a year. The Pivot Pot is a pot with a built-in strainer. It pivots on the corners, so when pasta is cooked, the pot can be tipped over a sink, draining the water and holding the pasta in place.

As a person who worked his way through Pittsburgh’s Art Institute as a cook, the idea was obvious to Kulikowski. In fact, he thought it would be perfect for restaurant use, reducing the time to prepare food. He graduated from the Art Institute in December 2005 with a degree in industrial and product design.

“I was in Kauffman’s looking at the cooking aisle,” he explained. “I just put two and two together.”

The product was licensed to Allstar Marketing, which has worked with QVC and HSN, for an advance on future royalties. When the Pivot Pot hits the market, Kulikowski will receive royalties on the project that he will share with Davison Design.

Kulikowski submitted the project to Davison Design when he first started on their award-winning design team about five months ago. He said he wanted to work on it, because he didn’t want to see the idea sit in the closet and go nowhere. What started out as the “Pasta Champ,” was later changed. He found that the design could be used for more than just pasta. He used it to steam vegetables and cook hardboiled eggs. Later it became the Pivot Pot.“I always hoped it would be licensed, but you never know until you try,” he said.

While Kulikowski had already designed and created the initial model proving that the gravity-driven project would work, he didn’t have much else when he presented it to Davison. From there he worked on the design and other Davison team members worked on graphics, engineering and the final prototype. Davison’s licensing department then worked on presenting the project to various corporations.

“When we showed it to Allstar it was an instant ‘yes, we want it,’” said Frank Vescio, vice president of licensing for Davison.Vescio noted that the design and simplicity of Kulikowski’s product made it easy to license.

Innovative Davison Pet Products Sold Through Brisky

2006-09-25T11:36:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH – A line of Davison Design and Development-developed pet products are now sold under the Brisky Pet Products name.

The products are geared towards “critters” and small animals, like chinchillas, hamsters and mice, and are currently being sold through Brisky’s Web site.
While the critter market is an often ignored sector of the pet industry, these seven new products are designed to accommodate owners of small pets, offering them more than just wood chips and small toys.

The Critter Vest is a fabric zipper vest, designed with pockets for food and a small pocket to hold your critter while traveling or walking. A take on the same idea is the Perfect Pocket, a small fabric pocket with a clip that serves as a portable home for small animals.

In addition to portable critter devices, small permanent homes are also being sold through the site. These include the Critter Cave and Mushroom Cave. Both are fabric homes for small pets to sit in shaded, low light settings. The Mushroom Cave is shaped like a mushroom, adding a decorative aspect for a pet owner’s living space. Complimenting the caves is the Critter Hangout. Similar to the Critter Cave, this small pet home can be suspended, opening more spatial options for a pet owner’s home.

Also recently introduced in the line are the Critter Net and Critter Ladder. These two fabric pieces can be set up to satisfy a critter’s climbing needs. While the net is larger, covering more space, both are equipped with pumice stones to condition the animal’s nails.
South western New York’s Brisky, sells its products online and in bulk to dealers, providing products to animals with specific needs and dietary requirements.

Davison Design and Development, Inc. is a cutting-edge 110,000-square foot product design and development factory. It garnered international recognition with two designs that won 2006 Industrial Design Excellence Awards, including one featured in BusinessWeek magazine.

KDKA Pays Davison a Visit

2006-09-19T10:07:00.000-04:00

For years Davison Design and Development has operated in almost total secrecy, with little information leaving its doors. However, Wednesday Sept. 13, that all changed. The first broadcast camera entered our doors, shining a local spotlight on our talented staff of Inventionmen.

KDKA-TV Channel 2, Pittsburgh's CBS affiliate, sent Dave Crawley to visit Davison and showcase some of our recent accomplishments.

The Daves, this includes the cameraman who is also named Dave, toured our build shop, our package engineering department and Edison's lab, documenting a small portion of our facility to air soon as a short two-minute feature, set to broadcast Monday or Wednesday.

During his time here, Crawley interviewed InventionLand Motor Speedway staff Jason Rogge and Ralph Kalkbrenner with the award-winning Hover Creeper and its various early prototypes. Crawley even took a spin, floating through the build department.

Later they met up with Anthony Keys, Trevor Kemmerer and Jarrod Campbell in packaging. The three put their heads together earlier in the day to build a poetry box, specially-designed for Crawley's “My Doggy Ate My Homework” children's poem. It was a quickly Invetegrated box that showcased our package engineering capabilities.

Following up the flute door and desk, Crawley spoke with Nathan Field on the desigining of the BikeBoard. Meanwhile, a group of Inventionmen showed off the BikeBoards, while a cameraman rode in a cart in front of them.

Six Davison Design Clients Brainstorm Products with CEO

2006-09-14T13:24:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH – Six Davison Design and Development clients recently brainstormed new product ideas with Davison CEO during a private tour of the Pittsburgh facility.

Six inventors of Davison-developed products visited InventionLand for a private tour with founder and CEO G.M. Davison, 42. During the tour, the group sat down to brainstorm new product ideas with Davison.

“If we come up with something out of this,” Davison told the group, “everyone is cut in on the future royalties.”

Davison Design and Development uses its Inventegration process to turn ideas into products that can be presented to a corporation. The clients all used Davison’s exclusive method when pursuing their products.

The group of inventors included Southern California’s John Iavarone, creator of the BikeBoard, which recently earned international recognition with a bronze 2006 Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA). The IDEA is an annual design competition cosponsored by BusinessWeek magazine and the Industrial Designers Society of America. As well, the Hover Creeper, also designed by Davison’s team of Inventionmen, won a silver concept IDEA.

Also present for the tour was Christopher Seeley, inventor of the OverBoiler Clip; Ruth and Gary Frazier of central Pennsylvania, inventors of the Twister Caps and Twister Bolts; Florida’s Curtis Hargrove, creator of the Personal Air Freshener; Raul Rubalcava of California, inventor of the Wine Butler; and southwestern Pennsylvania’s Judith Chmielewski, creator of SAF-T – an illuminated addition to the bottom of canes and walkers.

The team of inventors created six concepts during the hour-long brainstorm. The ideas were earmarked for an entertainment company. All of the concepts were sent to the patent and research divisions of Davison.

All six concepts will go directly from research into design for continuing development.

InventionLand, Davison’s latest creation, is slated for a November public opening.

Davison-developed Products Gain Footing in Northern Tool Company Stores

2006-08-04T09:16:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh-developed tool products have gained footing in a large international tool distributor.

Davison Design and Development’s line of products developed for the Lehigh Group’s Crawford have helped gained four additional feet of shelf space in the more than 50 Northern Tool Company stores in 11 states.

Northern Tool – which boasts selling more than 15,000 products in stores, its catalog and its online store – also sells its products in Canada and the United Kingdom. While Crawford products were already being sold in the store, six new products developed by Davison will be added to its repertoire.

The products include the Magna Jar, designed to hold up to a pound of screws, bolt, nuts, etc. in a small jar with a magnetic lid. The lid is designed to attach to any metal surface, and since the magnet doesn’t magnetize the contents of the jar, the magnet’s charge won’t be weakened. Also featured in the line are three pegboard organizers, a pencil/tape measurer holder, a drill holder and a towel holder. Additionally, the Magna Bin mounts to tool boxes with divider trays to hold workshop contents.

World reknowned inventor gives his thoughts on Davison's direction.

2006-07-24T16:35:00.000-04:00

Former CEO of RCA and world reknowned inventor, Dr. Joseph Donahue's had this to say about Davison's direction.

Dear George,

You have kindly given me a tour of your operation on a number of occasions over an eight-year period. I was impressed with your modest operation on the first visit when it was located in your grandfather's home. The progress you have made and level of proficiency you have now achieved from that modest start is now beyond imagination. I am not only very impressed but thrilled to witness such a dynamic and constructive organization in action.

I have been associated with new technologies all of my professional life. Examples include the beginning of color picture tubes, where I was a key inventor, the transistor, integrated circuits, liquid crystals and high definition television. The enclosed resume provides a little of this history. Because of this background, I feel particularly qualified to assess the creative and productive capability of your organization. You turn out advances and inventions at a prodigious rate that is probably unmatched anywhere in the world.

Not only do you create your own advances, but you are flexible enough to help other inventors through the many precarious steps of turning their idea into a reality. Many inventors are not capable of, nor realize the importance of the steps of patent search, patent filing, designing a product that satisfies a need and that is readily manufactured in a cost effective manner, designing functional packaging, producing realistic prototypes of the product and the packaging, and presenting the product to the key people in the commercial world. Your organization is well versed in all of these areas and they provide a very worthwhile service.

Probably the most impressive part of your organization is the creative function. They tackle challenges in extremely diverse fields of endeavor. And now, the new workplace wherein the creative process can be conducted in a practical surrounding associated with the end use of the invention. I am sure that no other organization has even dreamed of such a positive working environment. Your facility is truly breathtaking.

I feel privileged and proud to have had the opportunity to visit your unbelievable organization. It is a living example of what makes America great. The entrepreneurial spirit and success you have demonstrated is fantastic. Your contributions benefit all of those associated with it. Even the products that don't make it in the marketplace have had a good shot.

Please accept my heartiest congratulations on the success you have achieved and on the contributions you are making to our great society. If I were a little younger, I would seriously consider applying for a position in your creative section.

Thanks again, and keep up the fabulous work!!!

Sincerely,

D. Joseph Donahue

Davison Design: BikeBoard Article

2006-07-19T10:23:00.000-04:00

This article appear in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it is one of many recent articles about the award winning BikeBoard, a product that was design and developed by Davison.

Stuff: It's a bike, it's a skateboard ...

Sunday, July 16, 2006By Virginia Linn, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

An idea is only as good as its design. Last week, the O'Hara firm of Davison Design and Development Inc. was recognized nationally in BusinessWeek magazine for turning the idea for a skateboard-bicycle hybrid into the BikeBoard.

The BikeBoard company was founded in Newport Beach, Calif., in December 2003 by John Iavarone. He brought his idea to Davison to design the product, which combines for riders the feeling and dynamics of skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and BMX riding. Riders push off with one foot and use the handlebars to steer. It earned a bronze in the 2006 Industrial Design Excellence Awards, sponsored jointly by the magazine and the Industrial Designers Society of America.

Another product the firm designed -- a Hover Creeper, a 14-pound garage creeper that helps mechanics navigate the undercarriage of a car -- won a silver in the 26th annual contest. There are four versions of the BikeBoard: the Tyke model for ages 4 and up, the Mini for ages 7 and up, and the Cruiser and Freestyle for ages 10 and up. They range in price from $69.99 to $129.99 and can be found locally at Dick's Sporting Goods

Davison Design and Development Brings Home Two Design Awards in Prominent BusinessWeek-Sponsored Competition

2006-06-30T09:39:00.000-04:00

PITTSBURGH, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Two Pittsburgh-developed products won prominent international design awards today, making them two of the top 106 products designed this year.

The city's own Davison Design and Development earned recognition in the 2006 Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) for its Hover Creeper, which took a silver award, and The BikeBoard, which earned a bronze. The unique hybrid bicycle-skateboard will be featured in the July 10 issue of BusinessWeek magazine, along with other IDEA winners.

It's great to see our hard work rewarded," said President and CEO G.M. Davison. "A lot of people don't associate Pittsburgh with innovative design and product development. This just shows exactly what we're doing and what we're capable of from our corner of Pennsylvania."

Some of last year's winners include the Motorola Razr, the Apple iPod Shuffle, the Nike Considered Boot and the Sony QUALIA016 Digital Camera.The BikeBoard concept was brought to the Pittsburgh firm by Southern California's John Iavarone. Davison developed an entire line of BikeBoards for The BikeBoard Company. Iavarone's products have made their way into various sporting goods and toy store chains, as well as being featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, The Gear Guru, American Chopper and the 2005 remake of The Bad News Bears.

The Hover Creeper, a corporate product owned and licensed by Davison, won in the concept category. It's a 14-pound floating garage creeper that uses compressed air bladders to stay afloat, making it easier for mechanics to navigate the undercarriage of a car. Davison's Ralph Kalkbrenner, a 73-year-old former Westinghouse engineer, was key in the development.

In 1997, the Davison-developed Oil Filter Gripper won a bronze IDEA.

The IDEA awards, co-sponsored by BusinessWeek and the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), recognized 27 gold, 39 silver and 42 bronze award winners from 20 countries. Eighteen leading thinkers in the design world judged products based on design innovation, benefit to user and client/business, ecological responsibility and appropriate aesthetics and appeal.
