John Graver Johnson (1841, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – April 13, 1917, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an American corporate lawyer and art collector. The Philadelphia law firm that he founded in 1863 continues under the name Saul Ewing. His collection of nearly 1,300 paintings forms the core of early European works at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Career
The son of a blacksmith, he attended Philadelphia public schools, and apprenticed in the law offices of Benjamin & Murray Rush. He was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in February 1863, and served briefly in the American Civil War. He had an extraordinary memory, reportedly memorizing Shakespeare plays as a youth, and reciting extended citations of law in the courtroom.

He argued 168 cases before the United States Supreme Court, beginning in 1884. He represented the Standard Oil Company, the Sugar Trust, the American Tobacco Company, and the Northern Securities Company; and was counsel for J. P. Morgan & Company, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the New York Central Railroad, the Baldwin Locomotive Company, the United States Steel Corporation, the Amalgamated Copper Company, the American Distilleries Company, and many other corporations and banks.

Johnson declined offers to be nominated to the United States Supreme Court from Presidents James Garfield and Grover Cleveland. President William McKinley unsuccessfully sought him to become U.S. Attorney General.

In an April 15, 1917 obituary, The New York Times called him, "the greatest lawyer in the English-speaking world," and, "probably less known to the general public in proportion to his importance than any other man in the United States."

Art collecting

Johnson amassed one of the finest art collections in the United States. Relying on his own judgment and study, he concentrated on early-Renaissance Italian primitives, Spanish, Flemish, and Dutch paintings. He also bought works by artists who were his contemporaries, including Eduard Charlemont, Gustave Courbet, Mariano Fortuny, T. Alexander Harrison, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent, and James Whistler. He made annual trips to Europe, and wrote a short memoir: Sight-Seeing in Berlin and Holland among Pictures (1892).

An assessment of the collection from 1914:

Family

In 1875, he married Ida Powel Morrell, a widow with three small children. They had no children together. The family lived at 506 South Broad Street, and he later bought the adjacent house to store his art collection.

Bequest
In his Will, Johnson left the collection to the City of Philadelphia with the provision that it be exhibited at 510 South Broad Street. A proposal to build a museum on the new Benjamin Franklin Parkway to house the collection was considered and abandoned. Following six years in storage, the City opened the house museum in November 1923, but the first two floors provided only enough room to display 275 works. More than 1,000 works were stored on the upper floors or in rented space elsewhere. In 1931, the unexhibited works were moved into storage at the newly built Philadelphia Museum of Art. The City's fire marshal subsequently found 510 South Broad Street not to be fireproof, and in June 1933 the 275 exhibited works were "temporarily" transferred to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The City demolished the Broad Street house in the late-1950s to build a medical clinic.

Johnson's art was exhibited as a separate collection within the Philadelphia Museum of Art for more than 50 years. In the 1980s legal approval was granted for the Museum to integrate the works into its full collection. The current 100-year loan of the collection lasts until 2083.

We have posted many articles about typography but there are a number of projects in particular that really catch our eye. Whether it's the striking visual outcome or the technique behind it, we're blown away by the amazing talent that surrounds us. That's the case of the Melting Offf Unmasked project by Noelia Lozano for the Offf conference. It's awesome to see the video that Noelia shares showcasing a behind the scenes peek into the intricacy and craftsmanship involved throughout the process.
Contribution to the OFFF UNMASKED art book celebrating the 15th edition of Barcelona's OFFF festival. Featuring contributions from renowned illustrators and graphic designers around the world, presenting OFFF as a polytheistic cult,a secret religion with it´s own sacred rituals, places and prophets. The book was designed by Barcelona design studio VASAVA in collaboration with the OFFF team.
I grew up watching "futebol", that's the way we call soccer in Brazil. My father was the one that introduced us to the passion behind this sport in Brazil. We used to go to pretty much every soccer game that our local team would play.
As a former skateboarder and still avid fan of the sport I try to follow what's going on in that industry especially because, in my opinion, I believe they set a lot of trends in style.


If you're looking to buy or sell a new home, some real estate markets have recovered better than others. Recently, CNN Money ranked their top five markets for buyers, and two Carolina real estate markets made the list.
Coming in at number one was southern South Carolina, which includes towns such as Beaufort, Hilton Head Island and Charleston. Currently, homes are averaging 156 days on the market and being listed at $269,900. This means that buyers have a longer time to shop around for their perfect home, although they shouldn't expect great deals to stay on the market as long.
The Asheville market makes the list at number four with 146 days on the market on average and a median listing price of $249,900. Housing here still remains inexpensive especially considering that the city consistently ranks as a top place to live. However, those looking to buy will find that inventory has dropped significantly over the past few years.

The community takes pride in calling itself a "nature preserve" with marsh-front as well as lagoon-front homesites. The amenities in Overlook include a community center, pool, summer kitchen, a dock, parks and walking trails. The Overlook was deserving of this award for being a unique, eco-friendly community inside the charming town of Beaufort.

Hamas to Israel: 'Let's get it on'
Hamas mocked the lack of Israeli reaction to its latest round of rocket fire on Thursday, describing the Jewish state as being in a 'state of confusion.' Unfortunately, that is a fair description of Israel's 'leadership.'
Hamas also accused the Egyptians of having given Israel a 'green light' to conduct a limited 'military operation' in Gaza to overthrow the Hamas 'government.' They may be right about that one too.
The armed wing of Hamas, Izzadin Kassam, said it would not be deterred by Israel's threats of a military operation. The group also threatened to expand the range of its rockets and missiles so that they would reach more Israeli communities.
"We won't succumb to the logic of threats made by the Zionist war criminals," the group said in a leaflet. "Today we are prepared more than ever to foil any aggression against our people."
The Hamas wing also warned that if Israel carried out its threats it would face a "volcano of fury that would turn the Zionists' tears into blood."
Boasting that it had fired dozens of rockets and mortars at Israeli towns in the past few days, the group pointed out that Israel was "hopeless and desperate" because it doesn't know what to do to stop the attacks.
"The enemy is in a state of confusion and doesn't know what to do," the leaflet read. "Their fragile cabinet has met in a desperate attempt to stop the rockets while thousands of settlers have found refuge in shelters which, by God's will, will become their permanent homes."
Hamas legislator and spokesman Mushir al-Masri said Wednesday's rocket attacks on Ashkelon and nearby communities were a warning message to Israel as to what awaits it when and if it decides to enter the Gaza Strip.
He too threatened that Israel would pay a "heavy price" if it launched an attack.
"Israel's threats don't scare us," he said. "We're not afraid of assassinations and invasions and we are prepared to sacrifice our leaders."
Well, yes, except Hamas' 'leaders' are afraid to be sacrificed. They are all in hiding.
The Egyptian story certainly sounds plausible.
In another development, a top Hamas official in Gaza City told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday that the Egyptians have given Israel a "green light" to target Hamas figures and installations.
The official claimed that Egyptian Intelligence Chief Gen. Omar Suleiman told Defense Ministry envoy Amos Gilad last week that Cairo would not oppose a "limited operation" that would lead to the downfall of the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip.
The allegation by the Hamas official followed a report in the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, in which Suleiman was quoted as saying that the time has come to "teach the Hamas leaders a good lesson."
Citing "informed" Palestinian sources, the report added that Suleiman made it clear to Gilad that Egypt was not opposed to a limited operation that would bring down the Hamas regime.
The report said that Suleiman was furious with Hamas because of the movement's last-minute decision to boycott a "national reconciliation" conference he was planning to convene in Cairo in early November.
According to the newspaper, Suleiman referred to Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal as the head of a "gang" and said told Gilad that Cairo would like to see the movement's leaders punished.
"The Hamas leaders have become very arrogant," the report quoted the Egyptian official as saying. "It's time to teach these leaders a lesson so that they would wake up from their dreams."
Hamas wants a military operation so that it can cause civilian casualties and then make Israel into the villain in the court of world public opinion. And Israel will likely fall right into that trap and not see the operation through to the end and oust the Hamas 'leadership.'
Unfortunately, our 'leadership' is as self-serving and confused as theirs.
At 6:45 PM, What is "Occupation" said...
The good news?
the world doesnt care about gaza anymore...
that's so yesterday....
The world has moved on...
Hamas and Israel should see the world as it is now...
Israel shoot back and crush em...
hamas? bitch and die...
I cant wait to spit on your graves
At 9:19 PM, NormanF said...
Israel's leadership is afraid of another bungled military operation. They're probably right in that they don't really want to crush Hamas - they want to exchange one terrorist regime for another there. And I see no point to wasting Israeli lives to do so.
I'm baffled why Israel continues to put up with constant rocket attacks. Why not line up Israeli rockets and return two for everyone fired by Hamas. Sounds like a simple solution to me. Vern

Oxford Brookes Honorary Graduates for 2014 announced
Novelist Hilary Mantel, campaigner for human rights Baroness Lawrence, and Olympic gold medallist, Dr Katherine Grainger are to receive honorary degrees at Oxford Brookes University's graduations this month.
Further recipients include Joanna Simons, Chief Executive of Oxfordshire County Council, Jonathan Douglas, Director of the National Literacy Trust, Bahram Bekhradnia, President of the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) and David Levin, Chairman of Capital Group.
Writer Hilary Mantel CBE won her first Booker Prize for the 2009 novel, Wolf Hall, a fictional account of life in the court of Henry VIII. She won her second for the 2012 sequel, Bring Up the Bodies and is the first woman to receive the award twice.
Oxford Brookes became the permanent home of the Booker Prize Archive in 2003. The archive is soon to move to the impressive library in the John Henry Brookes Building, Headington, which opened earlier this year.
Hilary Mantel said: "I am looking forward to receiving an honorary degree from Oxford Brookes.
"As home to the Booker Prize Archive and an excellent Creative Writing MA course, the University is a custodian of contemporary fiction while at the same time inspiring a new generation of novelists.
"Education fires the imagination, instils self-belief and provides a strong work ethic – all important traits whatever one chooses to do in life, but particularly vital for authors!"
Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon OBE is a leading figure in the field of human rights, with an extensive record of influencing government policy and driving change. She is a Director of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, which she set up in 1998. She was elevated as a life peer to the House of Lords in 2013.
Baroness Lawrence said: "Oxford Brookes was founded on strong values that continue to be instilled in its students today. One of these is the importance of social justice. Education is key in creating individuals who campaign for a fairer and more open society.
"I am looking forward to visiting Brookes and meeting staff and students who are driven by their values as much as by their pursuit of educational excellence."
Dr Katherine Grainger CBE won three Olympic silver rowing medals in Sydney, Athens and Beijing and in 2012 she won the Olympic gold with Anna Watkins in the double scull. Katherine is the only British female athlete from any sport to win medals in four consecutive Olympic Games. She has recently been involved in Oxford Brookes' Social Entrepreneurs Awards Programme.
Joanna Simons CBE is a former Chair of Governors at the University and is Chief Executive of Oxfordshire County Council.
As Director of the charity National Literacy Trust, Jonathan Douglas leads programmes which improve social justice by raising literacy levels – working at the heart of deprived communities.
Bahram Bekhradnia has worked in education policy for more than 40 years as a civil servant, a director of the Higher Education Funding Council for England and as the Director and now President of higher education think tank, HEPI.
David Levin is owner and Chairman of London's Capital Group which incorporates Levin Wines, the London Bakery, the Capital Hotel and the Levin Hotel.
Professor Janet Beer, Oxford Brookes' Vice Chancellor said: "Each of this year's recipients for an honorary degree is an exceptional role model for our students.
"Baroness Lawrence campaigns tirelessly for justice and for strong community relations.
"Hilary Mantel's award-winning novels have been enjoyed by millions of readers. As Brookes is home to the Booker Prize Archive it will be a great honour to welcome the only woman writer to win the prize twice to our new library.
"And as the University boasts an elite rowing squad, which has trained four Olympic Gold medallists in the sport since 2000, I am also very pleased we will be presenting Katherine Grainger with an honorary degree."

🎉 Zogo is now partnered with financial institutions in over 35 states!
What is financial dignity?
by Hannah L. | Jul 17, 2020
  
At Zogo, we created a gamified app that teaches financial literacy concepts — and one of the first modules our users complete, after an introduction to the app, is a lesson about financial dignity.
Why is this concept so important, and why do we make sure it's the first thing our users learn?
We define financial dignity as the ability to make smart, informed financial decisions to reach your financial goals. It's the opportunity to take control, and to have autonomy and freedom in one's financial life.
We describe it like this: imagine you're playing basketball, but all the players know the rules except you. How can you make the most of the game? How are you supposed to win or score any points?
But, in finance, it isn't just a game of basketball — it's your livelihood.
78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 21% aren't saving for short or long-term goals and nearly a third don't have an emergency fund. This is a pressing problem, and it's one that keeps many Americans from achieving true financial freedom.
Some people in finance profit off the myth that there's no winning unless someone else loses, and that the only way to gain wealth and success is by taking it from somewhere or someone else.
But it's not right to play a game that isn't fair. And as members of the finance industry, it's our responsibility to work for a more equitable market and a fairer financial world.
At Zogo, building financial dignity for our 60,000 users is a core part of our mission— and financial literacy is the superpower that will help us all get there.🌅
How does your institution work to build a better world of finance?

I did another bout of driving today, I really miss my car when I'm in London so I'm not bothered at all doing the driving. However, it does mean I forget to take photos!
We spent the afternoon driving around looking for our 'secret spot', an area we frequently visited as kids, but still struggle to relocate! We eventually gave up and went for lunch then home. Tomorrow will be the day!
The photo is of Rhuddlan Castle right by my nanas house 🙂 I love it hear, so many memories.

Migraine is a neurological syndrome characterized by altered bodily perceptions, severe headaches, and nausea. Physiologically, the migraine headache is a neurological condition more common to women than to men.
The typical migraine headache is unilateral (affecting one half of the head) and pulsating, lasting from 4 to 72 hours;symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (increased sensitivity to light), and phonophobia (increased sensitivity to sound). Approximately one-third of people who suffer migraine headache perceive an aura—unusual visual, olfactory, or other sensory experiences that are a sign that the migraine will soon occur.
Initial treatment is with analgesics for the headache, an antiemetic for the nausea, and the avoidance of triggering conditions. The cause of migraine headache is unknown; the most common theory is a disorder of the serotonergic control system.

Quick Critique: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
No Comments on Quick Critique: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Ebbing, Missouri is a small town with a small town mentality. The complacency, ignorance and general incompetence of its local law enforcement is put to the test when Mildred (Frances McDormand), the mother of a murder victim, pays to have three billboards put up on the highway directly calling the town's local sheriff Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) out for the lack of arrests made. This shakes up the town considerably, in particular Willoughby and his deputy Dixon (Sam Rockwell), who work to diffuse the situation and eventually try to turn their community against Mildred when she proves to be unrelenting.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri feels like a topical movie if there ever was one. On top of the racial element frequently brought up in terms of the police's corruption, the general lack of trust or fate in the system being in the interests of the people is quite palpable. There's a serious cultural shift, and Three Billboards wishes to, and pardon the pun here, signpost that. This is an excellent deconstruction of the price of challenging a system, which is seen as an affront to common decency even if what you are doing is something people claim they desire.
This is easily one of the best cast movies I've seen in years. A lot has been said about Frances McDormand's performance, and I'm still not sure it's enough. She's an absolute hero of this modern day folk tale-acerbic and defiant, but in way over her head and not having the ability to realise when she's gone too far. Also commendable are the performances of Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell, making the impossible possible by having me get emotionally invested in the story of racist cops. Neither are good people, but they feel so real and well realised, and I love the arc that Dixon in particular goes through. Other noteworthy performances come from Caleb Landry Jones, Clarke Peters, Abbie Cornish and Peter Dinklage.
Much is to be said about the direction from Martin McDonagh, who continues to be the master of bleak black comedy. His ability to make you care about despicable people is rarely mastered, and the way information is revealed in this film and parsed out is nothing short of excellent filmmaking. I love the reveal of the billboards in particular, or how a certain plot twist is pulled off. It's a legitimately surprising story that keeps you wrapped up in wondering exactly where it's going to go.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri manages to find the balance of that very wavy tightrope of being both topical and timeless. Even if you're not on board with connecting to its more sociopolitical themes, you can just get wrapped up in a great crime comedy-drama with an extremely lovable cast and achingly sympathetic subject matter. It's morose and bleak, and while it strains credulity in certain places, it's an excellent study of a town forced to face its privileges and set ways by a woman who can only feel rage being punished for demanding justice.

Public Access Opinion 19-007
Improper Denial of Request as Commercial Information
Freedom of Information Act - FOIA
Case: Public Access Opinion 19-007
Date: Monday, September 23, 2019
The City of Chicago Department of Public Health (Department) violated FOIA by improperly denying a FOIA request using the trade secrets and commercial information exemption of Section 7(1)(g). On March 29, 2019, the Department received a FOIA request for records concerning the amount of manganese that enters and leaves a business's facility. On April 12, 2019, the Department provided the Requestor with the requested records for four manganese-bearing material providers' reports.
Later that day, the Department sent an email to the Requestor stating that the request for manganese reports from S.H. Bell were denied, citing Section 7(1)(g) of FOIA, which exempts, "trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person or business where the trade secrets or commercial or financial information are furnished under a claim that they are proprietary, privileged or confidential, and that disclosure of the trade secrets or commercial or financial information would cause competitive harm to the person or business, and only insofar as the claim directly applies to the records requested." The Department's denial included a statement from S.H. Bell explaining why the information should not be disclosed. On June 9, 2019, the Requestor submitted a Request for Review to the PAC contesting the Department's withholding of the reports from S.H. Bell.
To withhold a record under Section 7(1)(g), a public body must demonstrate that: 1) the record contains a trade secret or commercial or financial information; 2) it was furnished to the public body by a person or business under a claim of confidentiality; and 3) disclosure of the trade secrets or commercial or financial information would cause competitive harm to that person or business. Because S.H. Bell had submitted its reports to the Department under a claim of confidentiality, the PAC reviewed whether the Department had demonstrated that disclosing the reports would cause competitive harm to S.H. Bell.
Finding no clear and convincing evidence that S.H. Bell would suffer competitive harm, the PAC held that the reports were not exempt from disclosure under Section 7(1)(g) and that the Department violated FOIA by withholding them.
This opinion is binding only to the parties involved and may be appealed pursuant to State law.

St. Leo University Florida Presidential Poll out shows Donald Trump with 30.5 % — Marco Rubio 15% — Jeb Bush 14%

Alex Rizo posts best fundraising month this cycle to defend Florida House seat
Hillsborough County Affordable Housing reports $54 million investment in 2021
Donald Trump continues to lead in the GOP presidential race in Florida, according to a new poll released Wednesday by St. Leo University Polling Institute.
The NYC businessman is at 30.6 percent, up nearly 5 percent points from a similar survey conducted in October. Marco Rubio is in second place with 15 percent, a drop of over 6 points over the past two months. Jeb Bush is at 14.3 percent, a drop of 1 percent since October.
Ben Carson slips to fourth place with 10.9 percent, compared to 14.7 percent in October. And Ted Cruz is now at 10.2 percent in the poll, up from 4.9 percent in October.
It should be noted that only 147 Republicans were contacted in this survey. Overall, 531 Floridians were polled by the institute from November 29 to December 3, 2015; a national survey of 1,007 adults was conducted in parallel during the same time frame. The margin of error for answers from the above subgroup is plus or minus 8 percentage points.
On the Democratic side, it's not much of a contest at all. Hillary Clinton gets 58.8 percent of the vote to Bernie Sanders 26.9 percent. The margin of error on Democratic likely voter responses was plus or minus 7.5 percentage points. The subgroup numbered 160.
When asked who would be the best candidate would "likely mount the strongest and most effective effort against terrorists worldwide while protecting Americans at home?" the winner was Trump, with 25.2 percent support. Clinton was a close second with 22.8 percent. No other candidate received more than 10 percent support.
However, Clinton leads every Republican in the survey, and would also win in a three-way race with Trump running as an independent.
Clinton, 48.9 percent, vs. Trump, 41.2 percent.
Clinton, 48.9 percent, vs. Rubio, 41.2 percent.
Clinton, 51.2 percent, vs. Carson, 39.1 percent.
Clinton, 47.3 percent, vs. Bush, 37.9 percent.
Clinton, 53 percent, vs. Cruz, 34.7 percent
Clinton, 55.2 percent, vs. former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina, 29.7 percent.
Three-Candidate Presidential Race Projections from Florida
Likely voters in Florida were also asked whom they would choose if there were a three-way presidential ballot with Trump running an independent candidacy, with Clinton running on the Democratic ticket, and with each of the major current Republican candidates emerging as the party nominee. In all scenarios, the results broke in Clinton's favor, shown below in descending order:
Clinton, 47.5 percent; Fiorina, 12.9 percent; Trump, 30.7 percent.
Clinton, 46 percent; Cruz, 21.3 percent; Trump, 26 percent.
Clinton, 45.5 percent; Carson, 20.3 percent; Trump, 27.7 percent,
Clinton, 44.8 percent; Rubio, 21.8 percent; Trump, 28.2 percent.
Clinton, 41.8 percent; Bush, 19.1 percent; Trump, 33.4 percent.

In the last election, 2014, the Florida Democratic Party insiders tried to pull a fast one over their own Democratic party members when debates between former Republican Charlie Crist and Democrat Nan Rich were not permitted to occur, despite strong desire by the members to hear debates between the two candidates. The Florida Party, in essence, performed the same function the Republican Party took care of by gerrymandering voting district lines to force Republicans to support "Party" chosen candidates, only. The Democrats tried this line of political discipline forced upon it's members but failed when vast numbers of Democratic voters did not bother to vote since the Democrats "appointed" a Republican turned Democrat puppet, Charlie Christ whom no one really wanted in office. Now, the national Democratic Party is trying to pull a fast one over Democrats before the Democratic Primary election but having "friendly" mass media supporters cut out all mention of Bernie Sanders, and how a new poll displays the truth of the matter . . . Democratic voters do not trust Hillary or the party insiders at this point, because too much questionable manuvering has taken place behind the scenes with big money donations buying Hillary Clinton's designated "democratic" sponsored Presidential candidate. However, voters may not permit such political corruption to take place this time around; too much is at stake to trust an untrustworthy woman who seems to have a poor sense of "karma", "ethic" or "Love." Bernie Sanders on the other hand is wholly trustworthy; has a political record and voting record that amply displays that he is a candidate of the people, for the people who will be elected by people like me, the 99% who are aware of what is going on and working on the grassroots level to increase voter support in the Democratic primary election coming up in three months, this next March, 2016. Folks like myself who are registered Independents will re-register for the primary election, and never switch back after Bernie Sanders is nominated to be the Democratic candidate for President. It may become something to be proud of again . . . a Bernie Sanders Democrat, just as many of us supported Barack Obama for President for excellent reasons . . . one of which was Hillary Clinton, a well paid, bought and sold representative of the Wall Street fat cats who play and pay for both political parties. Just follow the money . . . it becomes easy to see how a small group of super-wealthy can control both the Democrats and the Republicans, as well as individually funding each of the separate candidates of both parties to make it appear as if some real "choice" was offered to U. S. voters. Once in a blue moon, a Bernie Sanders comes along and people see they still may have an honest chance . . . and we act upon it . . . one by one, family, friends, neighbors . . . one voter at a time . . . our numbers are growing to become ever more vast.

Fishing net recycling program looks to increase production in Cordova
Nets are compressed by a new bailer at the Copper River Watershed Project.(Shae Bowman)
By Grant Robinson
Published: Jan. 13, 2021 at 1:30 PM AKST
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Eleven years into its fishing net recycling program, the Copper River Watershed Project is working to get more nets to recyclers.
Though the program has already collected around 260,000 lbs nets, with the recent addition of a commercial bailer, the nonprofit will be able to fit significantly more nets into a shipping container that will carry the nets to Portugal.
Though direct tracing is difficult, the destiny of the Cordova nets will be a variety of plastic products, and they could potentially be included in a line of Grundens products made from recycled nets.
"I think the thing that's exciting about recycling nets is that we have such a large amount of them and unlike other types of plastics that could be recycled, these nets are very consistently the same material," Shae Bowman, Operations Manager at Copper River Watershed Project said.
The Copper River Watershed Project is working with Net Your Problem, a company that works to coordinate the logistically complex business of recycling nets at an international level.
"Depending on what the material is, they can mechanically recycle it, which is basically they grind the nets up, wash them, melt it, and then put it through extruder, which produces very small plastic pellets and then those pellets get resold on the plastic market and you can just use that as a replacement for virgin plastic," Net Your Problem founder Nicole Baker said. "The other option is sort of like what's called depolymerization, or some kind of chemical recycling where the nets get basically turned into their carbon and hydrogen building blocks and then you can make a variety of petroleum products out of that. You can also make a fiber out of that, which is what the goal is for the nets from Cordova, for them to get sent to a company that makes a fiber. Grundens has been supportive of the project in Cordova because they're going to be releasing a line of clothing next Spring that's made from recycled fishing net fibers."
Baker says the biggest challenge in expanding net recycling programs is keeping costs competitive or below other alternatives fishermen use to dispose or store old nets.
In Cordova, the net recycling program is well established and free, whereas disposing of nets in the landfill costs money. However, changes in the recycling market have created some additional challenges for the program.
"The big thing is that the fishing web really needs to be stripped of all your lines and it needs to be cleaned up. And that can be pretty challenging because these nets are really big and they're good at catching things," Bowman said. "For a long time we have accepted nets kind of coming in in any shape or form, and with the changing recycling market we really had to up our game as far as the quality of nets we're sending to recyclers."
Bowman says that an in-kind donation from Alaska Marine Lines helps cover shipping, and without that donation, the program might not be possible. Baker says a construction company plays a big role in helping load the nets at a collection site in Kodiak.
"There is a place for anybody who thinks that they could contribute, either communications, logistics, financially," Baker said. We need everybody in order to figure out ways to make this solution available to fishing communities."

mSecure Support
Knowledge Base Forums Submit a ticket Login
Shared passwords
My wife and I have several shared accounts (Netflix, mortgage, house wifi password, etc.).
I'd love to have a separate list of records for shared passwords, that would sync when either of us create, update or delete records in that list (assuming we both have mSecure).
The way I envision it is to have a "Open List" option in the menu. It would show lists I have created. I can create a new list (using a different password for that list), and choose to share that list with another user, based on their msecure account email address. Her account would then show that list when she chooses "Open List". I would tell her the password for that list, so that she could unlock it. I'm guessing a requirement is that the backup is stored in msecure cloud, so that both accounts can access it.
It's a large sized Feature Request, but it would be great for couples, families, etc.

No problem at all @Thomas! I can help here as well, but I like to keep all of the beta instructions in the other threads =) You'll find the Sharing Center in the menu of each app. It's one of those features that could be in Settings, but it's also big enough that it demands its own UI more up front in the app. On iOS, if you tap the menu icon in the top left of the main view, you'll see the Sharing Center option in the slide out menu. Tap that, then you'll see the Vaults and Users tab. In the Users tab, you can invite other mSecure accounts to connect with yours, and once you do that, you can add those connected accounts to different vaults you create in the Vaults tab.
Great! Even if I expected it to be in Settings, it works fine once you find it. Have made same vaults I have in 1Password now and it's no problem it seems.
Hi again @Thomas. I just saw your post in the other thread, and I wanted to follow-up with you here. I believe the feature you are looking for here is tags and not vaults. While it's possible to use vaults to create buckets for different sets of data, they really are a mechanism intended for data sharing between different accounts. And, with vaults, a record can only belong to one of them. With tags, you can easily add one or many of them to the record to help with isolating data when you need to find it quickly. There is a tags filter in the menu of the app, so once you have tags on a record, you can find that tag in the list of filters, tap on it, then only records that have that tag will be displayed in the main view record list.
On the one hand, tags can feel a lot like a vault, but fundamentally, they are very different features. Tags are meant for the ultimate in flexibility when you're organizing and finding your data based on search queries, while vaults are meant for cross-account sharing.
Go ahead and edit a record, then scroll down, and you'll see a field labeled "Tags." Tap in that field, and start typing. After you have added a tag, or multiple tags, that are appropriate for helping you organize the data in that record, you can save it. After saving it, open the menu of the app on iOS/Android, or go to the left column on Mac/Windows. You should see the Tags filter list, and you'll see the tag(s) you just added to the record. Select the tag, and you'll see the records list in the main view get updated. Alternatively, after adding the tag, tap in the search field and enter the tag's name. The list will be filtered appropriately.
Ok, I'll try that.
Sounds good @Thomas. Let me know if you have other questions about v6!
Hi Mike. As a matter if fact I noticed that my vaults from 1Password was indeed imported as tags to mSecure. Cool. No need to go through all and manually tag them. Q: if I do vaults, can I as admin see what's in them? Would be good if say my wifes iPhone gets damaged and she needs a pw from there? But now that I noticed the tag-imort we will probably not use vaults. Is this about tags and vaults and import from 1Password possible to find in FAQ or support pages? So it is easy for new users to find?
Thank you for the report about vaults getting imported as tags in mSecure. While I have used 1Password, and I know about their vaults feature, I was actually not aware that the vaults were getting imported as tags, so I'll have to look into this. I would have though that only the tags for records in 1Password (that app has a tags feature as well) would have been added as tags in mSecure.
The difference between tags and vaults is a little more subtle than I would like it to be. When I think of the features, I think more about the code implementation, as I'm responsible for the cloud code that handles some of the record processing, so it's much, much different at that level. In the app, however, the functionality looks really similar. The way to think of tags, and forgive me if this is all obvious stuff I'm rambling about here, is as a quick, almost transient, label you're placing on your records for purely organizational purposes. mSecure can very quickly look at the labels, and then isolate record based on them.
In contrast, vaults are like buckets or collections of data. Those buckets can have other user accounts added to them with privileges moderating the access the other users have to the data stored in them. Also, and this important, vaults are really only needed if you are sharing data between different mSecure account. So if you and your wife have your own mSecure accounts, and you want to have data shared between those two accounts, then you have to use vaults. In that case, the tags you add to records would never be seen in your wife's mSecure account, because without having access to vaults you add your wife's account to, her account has no way to see any of the data stored in your account. That sentence is poorly written, but the short way to say it is, vaults provide access to the same data shared between different accounts.
Do you and your wife share one mSecure account, or do you each have your own account?
Also, at this time, we don't have a FAQ describing particular points of interest when it comes to data imported from 1Password, but I believe we're going to need to get that ready for v6. I am happy to help in any way I can though =)


What happens when a play that advertises itself as showing "the dark side of the environmental movement" is performed in San Francisco?
In 2016, Caltech researchers Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin proposed evidence for the existence of a new planet, and a search for Planet Nine ensued. In February, campus graduate students Michael Medford and Danny Goldstein introduced a novel search technique.
Last week, the UC Board of Regents filled two systemwide positions: UC provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and chief compliance and audit officer at UC Office of the President.
Nearly a year after the December Black Lives Matter protests, more than 100 members of both the Berkeley and Oakland communities stuffed into a lecture hall on campus, participating in a forum for the movement Thursday evening.
A group of approximately 15 people congregated on Monday evening at the intersection of Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue, where they mostly stood in a circle and discussed the importance of standing in solidarity with the recent Baltimore protests.
Berkeley City Councilmember Lori Droste has never seen her 3 year-old son behave as well as he did when they went to his first city council meeting together. Droste said he now asks her to come to "the castle" with her, their nickname for her office.

Tønnesminde er en gård ved Tranebjerg på Samsø, på hvis jorder der er et arkæologisk område. Arkæologiske undersøgelser på stedet har vist, at der været bosættelser i området fra omkring 4000 år f.v.t. til i dag. Der er gjort fund fra tragtbægerkulturen i stenalderen, bronzealderen, jernalderen og vikingetiden.

Området er blevet udgravet og undersøgt i forskellige etaper. Nationalmuseet undersøgte omkring 500 m2 i 1999, hvor man fandt fund fra stenalderen. I 2014 foretog Moesgaard Museum og Havard Summer School udgravninger.

Even though we may be aware that biases affect us, we are still not able to control them due to their subconscious nature;
Perhaps the game lies not in not being biased, but managing to hold our opinions and perceptions more gently.
We're all biased - and there's not much we can do about it
Do you consider that you are more or less biased than the average person?
In a 2015 study, a few hundred US citizens were asked the same question - and surprisingly, more than 85% of them believed that they were less biased than the average American. (Study here)
It seems that most people believe themselves to be less biased than others, which is obviously statistically not true.
Simply put, the bias blind spot means that they are less likely to detect bias in themselves than in others.
Being self-aware increases your chances of realising when your bias is impacting your behaviour and perceptions - although it can do little to prevent it from happening in the first place.
A really good resource for identifying your subconscious bias is the Implicit Association Test by Harvard, which you can access here.
In just 5 minutes, you'll be able to see which way you are biased in relation to different variables, such as race and gender.
The distorted appreciation of the quality of our own decision-making seems to be linked to another bias called the 'self-enhancement' bias.
This one plays a role in motivating us to see ourselves in a positive light. Because biases are seen as undesirable, we may try and distance ourselves from them as much as we can - thus biasing us further into thinking that we are rational in our decision-making.
It's a complete vicious circle or biases intertwined with more biases.
So what's the solution?
Unfortunately, there isn't one.
Research shows that even people who are aware of the biases affecting them can still not control them, and that is because of their subconscious nature.
So even when we know we are biased, we can not help it.
What we can do, however, is be aware of the fact that the way in which we see the world is intensely personal and subjective, flawed and tainted by bias.
If we develop the self-awareness necessary to hold our opinions gently, we'll at least have a chance at communicating well through accepting the fact that our way of seeing the world may not be the best way, while also being more understanding of other people's reasoning flaws.

With €500,000 for a property, a foreigner can now be a resident of Spain and can even get a Schengen-area access. Thanks to the new Golden Visa legislation approved by the Spanish Congress recently.
After the legislation's passage in the Spanish Congress and Senate and publication in the official gazette the BOE (Boletin Oficial del Estado) these past few days, Spain wants to prove that it is better late than never.
Spain joins neighbouring European countries Portugal, Cyprus, Malta and Greece, which had earlier approved similar laws, but with lower price ceilings for properties to be acquired to gain a residency visa.
In exchange for a visa in Cyprus, the property must be at €300,000, in Greece it must be at €250,000. Spain's property threshold is similar as that of Portugal, but it was quite expensive than what was earlier proposed at €160,000.
Property agents are hoping to entice more buyers from Russia and China, who comprise two of the largest buyers of property in Spain since the global recession hit property markets world-wide.
Land values in Spain have varied in the past 12 months, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Development. On average urban land values declined by 17.4% in the second quarter at €161.5per square metre compared to that of 2012.
In more densely populated municipalities with no less than 50,000 residents, land prices have risen by 10.6%. In Barcelona, land prices rose to €714.9 per square metre; Ciudad Real recorded €571.8 per square metre; and a square metre is priced at €426 in Zaragoza, Diario Sur said in a report.
A similar trend occurred in Spain's smallest towns where land prices went up by 21.3% Kyero.com reports citing data from the government agency.
On the other hand, a decline of 17.2%has been noted in towns with less than 5,000 and 10,000 inhabitants.


Now that the holiday season has started in many counties, the number of incoming e-mails asking recommendable onsen ryokans is increasing, and it's getting difficult for me to respond each request.
I suggest you to look up the official website of the Japan Ryokan Association. It has English, Korean, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese sites.
It carries overall information on ryokan in Japan like "What is Ryokan", "How to choose" and "How to stay". It has extensive list of ryokans all over Japan as well to help you finding suitable ryokans.
Please note the ryokan itself is Japanese style inn, not necessarily supplies onsen. The number of the ryokans accepting solo travelers is limited. Usually they provide dinners and breakfasts and charge per head, not per room. Check in time is generally around 3:00 - 4:00 P.M, and check out time is 10:00 A.M.

Report details on the tax credit for household expenses for 2018 in MyTax.
How to file tax credit for household expenses in MyTax.
Alternatively, you can file the information on paper (Forms 14A, 14B and 14C).
Report the information only once. If you have reported the information for the tax card or on Palkka.fi, it will be transferred to the pre-completed tax return automatically. Check the amounts when you receive the tax return.
Save the receipts for what you've paid for the work done. We may ask you to show them later.
Request that your household expenses lower the withholding rate on the card. When you have submitted a request for a new card, your withholding for the current year may decrease.
When you have asked for your tax card to be revised, the household expenses will be transferred to the pre-completed tax return that you receive next spring. Check the amounts when you receive the tax return.
You can claim the expenses for a tax credit for household expenses for 2019 in your tax return. You can use MyTax for this purpose already now. If you prefer, you can wait until next spring and claim the expenses after you receive the pre-completed return form.
Report the information only once. If you have reported the information for the tax card, or on Palkka.fi, it is transferred to the pre-completed tax return automatically. Check the amounts when you receive the tax return.
If you do not want changes to be made to your tax card, you can alternatively file the expenses entitling you to the tax credit for household expenses in the palkka.fi service (in Finnish and Swedish only). There you can also file any reports and payments relating to wage payment.
You can file tax credit details for 2018 on palkka.fi until 31 December 2018. After that they will be transferred to the pre-completed tax return of 2018. Check the amounts when you receive the tax return.
Individuals who qualify for the credit can claim the expenses directly for their tax-card calculation so that their withholding rate can be lowered. Another option is to claim the expenses in MyTax. The amounts giving rise to the credit will be shown on the taxpayer's pre-completed tax return.
Please check the facts at ytj.fi. You can look up any business entity by its name or Business ID. Type it in the search field.
Always check that the company, business, entrepeneur, etc. is registered in the prepayment register before you make an agreement with them. The business must be registered at the point in time when you make the agreement. If a company is on the register at that time, you will be granted the tax credit for household expenses even if its registration had been terminated by the time when you pay the invoice.
However, if registration is not valid at all, you cannot be entitled to the credit.

Q: Need enhancement on android mapview overlays I'm trying to run a specific code that regularly adds/removes markers on a map, I tried the AsyncTask approach instead of thread and runnable,
in the doInBackground :
mapView.getOverlays.remove()
mapView.getOverlays.addOverlay(new overlay)
mapView.getController.animate(center point)

actual problem is, that code runs continuously and while executing map gets rendering and tries to get overlays to draw, while the code is removing and adding into the list, so ConcurrentModificationException is thrown and the application halts
I need help about it, I feel that I'm on the wrong path, what really should I use when trying to run code in background thread that updates regularly markers on the map ??

A: UI is not thread safe so you must not update ui components from non-main thread. AsyncTask has mthods which are called from the main thread. The idea is to prepare all the data in doInBackgraound and then update UI in postExecute method.

A: If you do not want to render the points all in one go like slkorolev suggested, use the UI handler mechanism.

Handler myHandler = new Handler() {
publicvoid handleMessage(Message msg) {
switch (msg.what) {
case TestHandler.NEW_OVERLAY_ITEM_EVENT:
mapView.getOverlays.remove()
mapView.getOverlays.addOverlay(new overlay)
mapView.getController.animate(center point)
break;
               }
super.handleMessage(msg);
          }
     };

// post this UI update event
Message message = new Message();
message.what = TestHandler.NEW_OVERLAY_ITEM_EVENT;
TestHandler.this.myHandler.sendMessage(message);

Purpose: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor (EIF) plays a vital role in protein synthesis. EIF3B is a core subunit of the EIF3 family, and is overexpressed in many tumors. EIF3B is associated with an unfavorable prognosis, as well as the genesis and development of tumors. However, the potential role of EIF3B in gastric cancer (GC) remains unknown. In the current study, we explored the clinical significance and the possible mechanism of EIF3B in the progression of GC.
Methods: EIF3B expression was analyzed in 78 GC tissue samples through quantitative PCR and in 94 GC tissue samples through immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The correlation between EIF3B and clinicopathological features was analyzed in GC tissues. The role of EIF3B in GC progression was investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays.
Results: EIF3B expression was upregulated in GC tissues (73.4%, IHC). High expression of EIF3B was significantly correlated with the depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P=0.000, 0.000 and 0.000, respectively). Multivariate analysis indicated that GC patients with high EIF3B expression suffered a poorer 5-year survival. EIF3B promoted GC cell proliferation and was strongly associated with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression in GC samples (P=0.009). It also enhanced tumor cell migration and invasion, which were affected through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the Stat3 signaling pathway. Knockdown of EIF3B in GC cells suppressed the growth of xenograft tumors and lung metastatic colonization in vivo. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and Western blot results demonstrated that EIF3B activated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that EIF3B plays an oncogenic role in GC progression and serves as an independent prognostic factor for GC patients.
Keywords: EIF3B, gastric cancer, prognosis, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway

My journey as a Division I football prospect during the COVID-19 pandemic
Photo courtesy of Kamau Ransom
Ransom runs a route before catching a pass
Kamau Ransom, Staff Writer
This past year for me, as an athlete, has been somewhat of a blessing.
Since four years of age, football has always been my sport. Every single year, I've played and enjoyed it more. It has been my passion, my escape and has put me at mental peace for a while now. Before high school, football was still important to me—the sport had never failed to take up my summer and my fall—but, before high school, I wasn't nearly putting in as much work to better myself as I could have. So, as I made the transition into high school, the game went from a summer and fall situation to a year-round dedication.
Forever, I've wanted to play college football, but it wasn't until high school that I realized that I needed to put in a ton of work to get to where I wanted to be—stepping onto the field as a Division I college football player. I had played defensive end my whole life, but, freshman year, my coach put me at slot receiver too, simply because of my size and hands. I didn't think offense would be my side of the ball in the future at all; I've never had the quickness or "swag" you'd see a normal receiver acquire from the jump. I was just long and stiff—with no rhythm. None.
After my freshman season, Coach Healy, my varsity coach, said he wanted me to play for him my sophomore year at the receiver position. As soon as I heard that news, my work ethic elevated greatly. Every day, from then on, I was working on bettering myself. Whether it was in the weight room, catching footballs at the field or watching film, I was always working. Come sophomore season, I turned myself into a starting wide receiver, despite the fact that the position had felt foreign to me just a year prior. I made obvious strides, but they still were not good enough. My season was nothing amazing, but it showed me where I needed to be by the time my junior season came around so that I could dominate whoever lined up across from me.
So, the work continued… only to be challenged five months later by this pandemic.
We started quarantining in March. This cut into my offseason, 7-on-7 team. 7-on-7 is touch football for quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs. Basically, it's football with no lineman and no tackling. It is nothing more than extra exposure and another opportunity to be seen by college coaches.
My team travels the nation trying to win tournament championships and the end goal—hopefully a national championship. At this time my 7-on-7 team was EFT Football Academy. I knew everyone, I was comfortable with everyone and we were winning games. The season was going great.
We were in Michigan for a tournament when we found out everything would probably be shut down. The very next weekend, we were supposed to be in Kentucky, so we were in full swing of things.
As the world started slowing down, I had to find ways to keep improving. I knew a lot of athletes wouldn't be working as hard because nobody was forcing them to do anything, and their excuse would be "quarantine." So, I decided to form separation between me and them, the same way I've learned to do as a receiver.
In March, I was going to Mount Trashmore every morning to run the hill for speed and explosiveness. Although the hill helped tremendously, I strongly dreaded every single second of it. I got resistance bands to keep my legs in shape while at home. I did jump squats, one leg raises, slow shuffles and backpedals. For keeping my upper body in shape, I was doing simple stuff like elevated push-ups and chair drops.
As the weather got warmer, I got a ladder for footwork and endurance. In the span of March to May, I might've touched a football a couple of times. I was strictly focused on speed, quickness and bettering my body. Skill work was limited.
Come June, approaching my all-important junior year, everything started opening up with limits. With football on a bit of a hold, I played travel basketball with Full Package Athletics to stay in shape—and, because, if there was a basketball season, I wanted to bring my game to a level where I could contribute offensively and defensively. I was getting full games and workouts almost every day of the whole summer on the court.
At the same time, I went back to my workout place—EFT Football Academy. I was at the field every day, perfecting my craft. Meanwhile, Evanston team practices started back up, in hopes of a season. I knew that the junior season for every athlete is the most important year if you're looking to get a scholarship or a college offer to play at the next level.
Junior season is when coaches start realizing potential and how you can fit into their program. It's also traditionally the first year that the majority of athletes start playing for their varsity team. The stakes are always high. Most athletes also commit to their colleges after junior season and before senior season, so that an injury senior year can't affect them. With that being said, junior season is extremely crucial to an athlete's future. In a normal world, I would be put in a position to have the best season possible, which would then put me in the position to have a shot to
play Division I football.
One of my mentors, one of my wide receivers coaches from outside of school, ended up transferring to my school to coach my position and help with the offense. They had me playing the X, a wideout position that forces me to exploit one-on-one match-ups because they trusted my ability to do so. I was hoping for a season, but when they proposed the idea of playing in the spring, I wasn't fully against that. I don't know what clicked for me in September or October, but I started making obvious improvements. Every day, you could visibly see I was better than I was the day before. To be honest, I was kind of surprising myself. Canceling the season obviously wasn't fun, but it ultimately gave me more time to work.
I'm so much better today than I was back in March.
Overall, the past four or five months have been extremely beneficial to my future despite the delay of an entire season. I have been invited to and attended some showcases for extra exposure. Showcases give college coaches the ability to see what kind of player you are and if they should keep in touch with you. Also, these events give an athlete the ability to become comfortable with media outlets that can be a gateway to colleges and recruiters. With Illinois being on hold, showcases have been held in Indiana. At the same time, I've put together a recruiting video with my football program (EFT), and I've just been constantly working.
In hopes of a season in the spring, I put myself in a position to be looked at as a player to "keep an eye out for."
This pandemic has had so many losses, of course, but, overall, I've tried to take advantage of every single opportunity.
