South Philly couple opens bookstore on East Passyunk
"A Novel Idea on Passyunk" proposes to further foster the local literary community.
Newlyweds Alexander Schneider and Christina Rosso-Schneider are opening an independent bookstore, "A Novel Idea on Passyunk," along the East Passyunk business corridor. Featuring the work of local writers while hosting workshops and open mic events, the business proposes to further foster the local literary community. (GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review)
Scrolling through Tinder a few years ago, South Philly resident Alexander Schneider swiped right on particularly quirky candidate.
The prospect, Christina Rosso-Schneider, caught the graphic designer's eye with a peculiar quip about desiring a pet alligator after recently returning from New Orleans.
Alexander, though, would soon discover Christina's witty prose surpassed her dating app bio, as the professional writer dreamt of owning her own bookstore where she'd spotlight not only her own words but the words of others.
Three years later, the couple, who was married last month in the Big Easy city, the impetus of their online kismet, is bringing another one of their reveries to life — opening a bookstore, "A Novel Idea on Passyunk," a compendium of publications — old and new, bestsellers and regional works, which will host a soft opening on Dec. 1.
The business, located at 1726 E. Passyunk Avenue, which currently serves as one of the only bookstores in South Philadelphia and the sole store of its kind along the East Passyunk business corridor, is a synthesis of the pair's passions, as the couple recalls when the idea floated in the ether after it surfaced as a jest last year.
"We revisited it as a conversation and then both realized that it wasn't actually a bad idea," Schneider, a Long Island native and graduate of the University of the Arts, said. "It was a joke at first, and as we talked more about it, why not? It brings a lot of her strengths into the space — teaching, reading, writing, to do bookclub, to do writing groups, to do all that kind of stuff here. My side is design, doing all the merchandise, displays and things like that."
As the vision began to crystallize, the duo felt the cornerstone of this new venture lay in shedding light to local writers and presses. While the store, which is currently under renovation after the couple acquired the space in August, expects the arrival of more than 2,000 mainstream books next week from supplier Baker & Taylor, a chunk of titles lining the shelves will be both written and printed around the Greater Philadelphia area.
Networking through publishing and writing sources, such as her graduate school, Rosso-Schneider, who recently relocated to South Philly, has steadily acquired a repertoire of regional works from presses such as Lanternfish Press, Empty Set Press, Thirty West Publishing and Split Lip Press.
Along with embracing nearby penmen, the business is planning other avenues to cultivate local creativity, encompassing writing workshops, author readings, book clubs and open mic events, a pastime Rosso-Schneider has been running for the past year at the Lucky 13 Pub on 13th and Passyunk.
"Philadelphia has a pretty good literary community that already is in existence," Rosso-Schneider, a graduate of Wagner College and Arcadia University, said. "There are a lot of awesome local writers and we have so many talented local writers . . . it's awesome that in the next couple months, we'll be selling some of my friends' or some writers that I really admire's work, having events with them and just continuing to help this literary community grow."
The business already has a writing workshop planned for the spring with Blue Stoop, a local literary hub, whose mission is to "support and nurture writers and readers from all walks of life who live in greater Philadelphia." Starting in mid-January, the organization will host an eight-week workshop at the space, including poetry, advanced fiction and food writing classes.
While "A Novel Idea on Passyunk" is in its infancy, both inventories and activities will remain relatively broad, as ideally the store will evolve based upon the community's desires. Considering ever-changing transitions of the immediate neighborhood, including influxes of immigrant and millennial populations, the couple intends to trim and add inventory as the business gains momentum.
"Especially from living in South Philly for so long, it might not seem, it but it's extremely diverse. There's families that live there all their lives. There's a lot of young families. There's now a lot of kids, first-born, second-born children," Schneider said. "So, that alone will have us range from classic stuff that a lot of people like — thrillers and mysteries and things like that and holds a big demographic. But, having a kids section, with a daycare and a uniform shop (down the street), that's important. And a lot of it is figuring out what everyone else wants, what the people around us want. So, starting with a more generalized group."
The couple stresses "A Novel Idea on Passyunk" aims to sell an experience more than anything. Aside from featuring literature, the store will hang and sell the works of visual artists on its white gallery-like walls and sell local handmade products, such as bath bombs and candles.
Surrounded by shelves of books and canvases of paint, the store also proposes to host other occasions by partnering with neighboring businesses, planning events such as animal-shelter fundraisers, yoga classes, magic shows or even bone readings — a form of divination which the couple says predicted their success.
Anyone interested in planning such partnership is encouraged to reach out to the couple. But, above all, they're continuing to seek local writers to be featured in the shop, as they've established an Google form which applicants can submit online.
"I've been literally reading and writing since I was able to do those things. So for me, bookstores have always been a sanctuary. So, why wouldn't I want to, on my own, have a place that I can go and read and hang out and everything? But, I never thought it was going to be a reality," Rosso-Schneider said. "It was just a dream. … The dream is to continue to promote local writers. I am a professional writer who is hoping one day to get a book published and if I do go the route of small press, not a lot of bookstores are willing to take them to sell them."

Info: "A Novel Idea on Passyunk" is looking for local authors with books/collections who want to be featured in the shop. Interested authors can fill out a form at (https://goo.gl/forms/2ynVBfndYc4eVCMX2).
Also, the business is open to events, so if anyone is interested in hosting or has suggestions, they can fill out our events form here (https://goo.gl/forms/IpFhTF3sKieLf4Nt1).
Dec. 1 is a soft opening date and will feature baked goods all day, and starting at 5 p.m., there will be a a happy hour with complimentary wine, beer and snacks. The couple is planning for the store to be open just weekends through the end of the year, and then, starting Jan. 2, they will be open six days a week. They will have a grand opening the first weekend of January.

Q: Use of Multithreading in VB.Net I am not a trained and professional programmer.
My VB.net program displays a dialog box and collects data from the user. It then opens another application and adds this data to a document in that application.
Since opening of the other Application takes time and my program has to wait for considerable amount of time, I was thinking if multithreading can help.

*

*Start program.

*Open the Application using a thread.

*While the application is opening, display the form and collect data from the user.

*After User click OK button, make sure that the Application is open and only then start adding the collected data to the document in the application document.

I would appreciate if somebody can guide me.

A: An easy way to go is to use a BackgroundWorker. It hides the details of the multithreading problematic. There is a good description for VB here: The Background Worker

Neural networks have surpassed the performance of virtually any traditional computer vision algorithm thanks to their ability to learn priors directly from the data. The common encoder/decoder with skip connections architecture, for instance, has been successfully employed in a number of tasks, from optical flow estimation, to image deblurring, image denoising, and even higher level tasks, such as image-to-image translation.
To improve the results further, one must leverage the constraints of the specific problem at hand, in particular when the domain is fairly well understood, such as the case of computational imaging.
In this talk I will describe a few of my recent projects that build on this observation, ranging from reflection removal, to novel view synthesis, and deblurring.
Orazio Gallo is a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research. He is interested in computational imaging, computer vision, deep learning and, in particular, in the intersection of the three. Alongside topics such as view synthesis and 3D vision, his recent interests also include integrating traditional computer vision and computational imaging knowledge into deep learning architectures. Previously, Orazio's research focus revolved around tinkering with the way pictures are captured, processed, and consumed by the photographer or the viewer.
Orazio is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions of Computational Imaging and was an associate editor of Signal Processing: Image Communication from 2015 to 2017. Since 2015 he is also a member of the IEEE Computational Imaging Technical Committee.

I adopt an end-to-end approach to Product Design. My Product Design Process consists of 4 main phases — Research, Ideate, Validate, and Implement. It's meant to be efficient, versatile, and adaptive.
The Research phase aims to gain an empathetic understanding of the problems I am solving. I believe building a good product begins with understanding the users — their needs, frustrations, motivations, and goals. Preliminary user research can take place through interviews, observations, workshops, surveys, or simply by talking to whoever interacts with customers on a regular basis.
Understanding the business values of the product and product visions can provide a better context of what I am designing. I interview Product Owners and business stakeholders to get a sense of what the business is hoping to achieve with the product and how its success should be measured. In essence, I constantly seek answers for what are we building, why are building it, and who are we building it for.
Methods: Contextual Inquiry, User Journey Mapping, Usability Audit, Stakeholder Interview, Kick-off Meeting, Competitor Audit, Persona.
Same attitude, minus the gun.
The Ideate phase is all about visualizing solutions and building prototypes, with a focus on the utility and function of the product. I take charge of information architecture (deciding how things should be organized) and interaction design (figuring out what happens next when users click, hover, type, etc).
During the Ideate phase, I produce numerous inexpensive, scaled down versions of the product or specific features of the product. I delay any conversation relating to look-and-feel and micro-interactions and revisit it once the solutions are validated and agreed upon by the team. The levels of fidelity for the deliverables vary; they can be paper prototypes, wireframes, flow diagrams, and/or interactive prototypes depending on the time constraint and complexity.
Methods: Ideation Workshop, Sitemap, User Flow Diagram, Wireframe, Screen-flow, Interactive Prototype.
Same scribble, minus the suit.
The Validate phase aims to eliminate problems and user difficulties that were unforeseen in other phases. User testing helps with identifying usability issues and uncovering insights that inform my design decisions. I put prototypes in front of users, get their feedback, refine them, and repeat. If time and resources are limited, as an alternative, I partner up with Product Managers to set up small, incremental tests on the live sites to test out my hypotheses. I share the insights with the rest of the team and remind our team that our users may not use the product the way we do.
Furthermore, I set up checkpoints with Tech Leads and Product Owners, so that I can ensure its technical feasibility and satisfy product requirements. Although trade-offs will likely take place during checkpoints, I make sure that we as a team keep good usability as one of our top priorities.
Methods: User Testing, A/B Testing, Multivariate Testing, Product Owner Check-in, Tech Lead Check-in.
Same question, minus the dramatic expression.
The Implement phase focuses on providing design specifications and support for the development team. I turn our low-fidelity prototypes into higher fidelity mockups with all the necessary information to moving development forward. I utilize existing elements from our design system and provide design spec for any new design pattern. I also provide annotations and links the final deliverables to corresponding development tickets in the Jira system.
However, delivering perfect specs is hard, the gaps must be filled with constant communication and collaboration. I follow what is being built and provide guidance around the accuracy of implementations. I make myself available to answer questions and discover opportunities for improving usability with the current built.
Methods: Mockup, Demo, Post-Live Usability Review, Design Pattern.
Same focus, minus the extra arm.
No two projects are the same. In essence, my Product Design Process is very flexible. Each phase can be repeated iteratively, rather than sequential step. They all contribute to moving development forward.
Research — Understanding users and business goals.
Ideate —Visualizing solutions and prototyping.
Validate — Conducting user tests and gaining buy-in.
Implement — Providing design specs and supporting development.
And of course, I didn't reinvent the wheel; I took references from Jesse James Garrett's The Elements of User Experience, Stanford D School's Design Thinking, Google's Design Sprint, The British Design Council's Double Diamond, Andy Boynton's DeepDive™, and Eric Ries's The Lean Startup.

A recent study reported in JAMA Oncology evaluated 10-year and 20-year breast cancer-specific mortality following diagnosis and treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries. (1) The study included cases of pure DCIS (without lobular carcinoma in situ or microinvasion) diagnosed from 1988 to 2011 among women younger than age 70. It evaluated variables including age, race, income, type of surgery, radiation, subsequent diagnoses of invasive primary breast cancer, and, when applicable, cause of death.
Overall mortality rate was 3.3%
Mean follow-up was 7.5 years, with a 20-year breast cancer-specific mortality rate of 3.3% overall. Mortality was higher among young women diagnosed before the age of 35 years (7.8% vs 3.2%), and among black women (7.0% vs 3.0% for white women). The risk of dying from breast cancer was 18 times higher for women who developed subsequent ipsilateral invasive breast cancer. Mortality also was related to adverse DCIS characteristics such as grade, size, comedo-necrosis, and lack of an estrogen receptor.
Among patients who underwent lumpectomy, the addition of radiation reduced the risk of subsequent ipsilateral invasive breast cancer at 10 years (2.5% vs 4.9%; P<.001). However, radiation did not improve the 10-year rate of breast cancer mortality (0.8% for women who had lumpectomy with radiation, 0.9% for women who had lumpectomy alone, and 1.3% for women with unilateral mastectomy).
The prevention of ipsilateral invasive recurrence with radiation did not reduce mortality rates, as more than 50% of the women who died of breast cancer did not have an ipsilateral invasive recurrence prior to their death.
How these findings fit into the larger picture
The findings of this landmark study confirm earlier reports, which showed that radiation after lumpectomy can reduce local recurrence but does not improve survival. (2)
Likewise, mastectomy, when compared with lumpectomy, offers no survival benefit and does not represent appropriate therapy for most women with small, unifocal DCIS. (3)
DCIS itself is not a life-threatening condition and has been described as a precursor lesion that, over 10 to 40 years, can lead to the development of invasive disease (FIGURE). (4,5) High-grade DCIS tends to lead to high-grade invasive ductal carcinoma, and low-grade DCIS may develop into low-grade invasive disease. (6)
The increasing prevalence of screening mammography means that more small in situ lesions are being identified in US women. Unlike colonoscopy, which can prevent colon cancer by removing colon polyps, mammography with subsequent surgical treatment of DCIS has not reduced the incidence of invasive breast cancer. (7) This finding leads us to question whether all DCIS should be considered a precursor lesion. This well publicized study is generating controversy regarding overdiagnosis and overtreatment of DCIS.
Limitations of this study
The majority of patients in the SEER registry underwent surgical treatment of DCIS with or without radiation and had a survival rate of more than 97%. Because there was no untreated control group, this study does not allow us to draw any inferences on the role of expectant management of DCIS.
Although it is often declined by patients, tamoxifen reduces the risk of ipsilateral and contralateral invasive and in situ breast cancer. Regrettably, information on the use of adjuvant hormonal therapy after an initial diagnosis of DCIS was not included in this analysis.
Why did death from invasive cancer sometimes follow a diagnosis of DCIS?
Several factors could have contributed to the 3% mortality rate from invasive breast cancer among women in this large study of DCIS. For one, it is challenging for pathologists to perform comprehensive tissue sampling of mastectomy specimens--or even large lumpectomy specimens. Accordingly, occult microinvasive disease could be missed. (8,9) As a result, occult invasive disease could go untreated, which could have contributed to the breast cancer mortality observed in this study.
Recommendations for practice
How can we better predict the behavior of DCIS and tailor treatment based on the biological behavior of each patient's disease?
Individualize therapy. The likelihood of local invasive breast cancer recurrence should be estimated for each patient based on the size and grade of her disease. Furthermore, genetic profiling of DCIS has been developed with the Oncotype DX test (Genomic Health) multigene assay. This test can be performed on pathology specimens and has been shown to estimate the risk of in situ and invasive in-breast recurrence in patients who have undergone margin-negative lumpectomy for DCIS and who prefer to avoid radiation but are willing to take tamoxifen. (10)
Counsel precisely and accurately. Beyond such testing, we should focus on what is important to our patients in explaining the diagnosis:
* Our patients want to know that they are going to survive. Explain that DCIS is not a life-threatening cancer but a significant risk factor and is fully treatable with a long-term survival rate of 97%.
* Do not omit surgery. Follow-up surgical excision is still recommended after a core needle biopsy diagnosis of DCIS, as there is a 25% risk of finding invasive disease upon surgical excision. (11,12) In our opinion, surgical excision represents the standard of care for DCIS, as some lesions may harbor invasive breast cancer.
* Explain the pros and cons of radiation to the patient once surgical excision has confirmed the diagnosis of pure DCIS. If the patient's goal is to avoid any recurrence, then radiation can be useful and is particularly appropriate for women with high-grade, large, and estrogen-receptor-negative DCIS. However, patients in this setting need to recognize that radiation will not improve their already excellent rate of survival. For many patients, any recurrence, whether it's DCIS or invasive disease, can be a devastating emotional event. But even in patients who experience a recurrence, early detection and treatment portend a very good outcome.
* Be aware of the fear of chemotherapy. Avoiding chemotherapy is a paramount (and understandable) desire for many women diagnosed with breast cancer. Women who choose radiation reduce their likelihood of invasive recurrence and potentially avoid the need for chemotherapy in the future.
* Know when mastectomy is indicated.
Multicentric extensive DCIS is still an indication for mastectomy. The safety of avoiding mastectomy in this setting needs to be assessed by randomized trials. It may be safe for some women with DCIS, such as elderly patients with low-grade lesions, to undergo lumpectomy to rule out underlying invasive disease and be treated with endocrine therapy and observation, with or without radiation therapy. The issue of multiple re-excisions for close margins is also being re-evaluated.
Informed and shared decision making is key
DCIS is an increasingly common and usually non-life-threatening condition. Radical surgery such as bilateral mastectomy for small unifocal DCIS is excessive and will not improve a patient's outcome. As a prominent breast surgeon has written:
A high level of anxiety regarding
breast cancer is associated with
rates of contralateral prophylactic
mastectomy that are as high as
those seen among women with two
first-degree relatives with breast
cancer or known mutations. Contralateral
prophylactic mastectomy is
an extremely expensive, resource-intensive
way of treating anxiety,
and we need to find better ways of
communicating the lack of benefit of
this procedure to patients. (13)
We must balance the small risk of breast cancer recurrence after lumpectomy for DCIS with patients' quality of life concerns. This goal is best accomplished by using an informed and shared decision-making strategy to help our patients make sound decisions regarding DCIS.
Surgical excision represents the standard of care for DCIS, as some lesions may harbor invasive breast cancer

Q: Reportlab: How to add uncertain contents using BaseDocTemplate? I want to add contents on first page. But the data is uncertain, contents must draw depend on the data.
I try to fix this problem by drawing twice, calculating and recording the contents, and it works well.
But it wastes time and ungainly.
Can I insert first page after completing drawing? Or other ways to fix this problem?
Sorry, I'm poor of English..

A: If you use Platypus with ReportLab you can get a table of contents "for free": just see the ReportLab manual for details but you basically just add a TableOfContents to the list of Flowables for the document and you're done. Otherwise you'll have to figure out all the logic for building a table of contents yourself.

Yesterday, the Council of the District of Columbia had an opportunity to provide needed relief to middle class families but failed to do so. Due to lack of support at the Council, the "Homestead Exemption Increase Act of 2019" was returned to the Committee on Finance & Revenue.
As I traverse Ward 4, I hear concerns from longtime homeowners and new about the rising cost of real property taxes, especially in light of many homeowners having just received their new property tax assessment for 2019. In July of 2018, I introduced the "Homestead Exemption Increase Act of 2019" with the aim that it would lessen the burden for ALL District homeowners by increasing the current deduction from $74,850 to $125,000. This increase in deduction would provide for $426 in every homeowner's pocket this year- that's real savings, right away, and middle-class residents shared that it would make a difference to them.
According to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) in 2019, the District will collect over $445 million in residential property taxes from homeowners. In 2020, the OCFO predicts the District will collect over $480 million, an increase of $35 million in revenue. That $35 million would almost cover the entire fiscal impact of the "Homestead Exemption Increase Act of 2019".
Opponents of the bill argue that this would benefit wealthy homeowners. The tax assessment reduction would benefit thousands of everyday middle-class District residents. Additionally, there is a misguided belief that residents who live in homes valued at $ 500,000 or more are wealthy and that they are not in need of financial support to help them maintain the condition of the homes, educate their children, and take care of aging or parents or family.
DC homes values have risen much faster relative to growth in average household income according to an April 2017 report from the District of Columbia CFO based on research conducted by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The Report indicates that single-family housing values in DC have risen much more over 25 years than in the metro area or the US. In the 14 years from 2002 to 2016, the District's home price growth was 147% compared to 55% in the metro area and 36% in the US. The average household income from 2002 to 2016 grew 63%.
The accumulation of annual expenses such as property taxes, utilities, and the maintenance on older housing stock creates increasing financial hardship for homeowners and put them at risk. The loss of home has a multigenerational impact on the wealth of families.
I introduced this bill to support thousands of middle-class homeowners. For our hardworking teachers, firefighters, and police officers who are committed to living in the city they serve. For our seniors who built this city, endured the hard times, and desire to age in place in the neighborhoods where they have raised their families, worked and enjoyed throughout their lives but are faced with a property tax bill that make their own homes cost-prohibitive. For our young families that moved to the District, purchased their first home with their life savings and struggle paying for childcare, utilities, mortgage, student loans, and taxes. This bill was introduced for all District homeowner across all eight wards.
While I am disappointed with yesterday's outcome, I remain committed to ensuring that the voices of middle-class families in the District who want to remain here are heard.
On Tuesday, March 5th, the Council met in room 500 of the John A. Wilson Building for their regularly scheduled Legislative Meeting and additional Committee of the Whole.
In March, the Council will embark on one of its most critical functions: agency budget hearings. Directors of government agencies come before the relevant DC Council Committee to report on their actions and programs and justify their use of taxpayer dollars in Fiscal Year 2019. Additionally, they will present their vision for Fiscal Year 2020 and why they are requesting a specific amount of funding. Stakeholders and constituents are also afforded the opportunity to testify on their experience, the quality of service, and areas for improvement for each agency. The annual budget process is a crucial accountability mechanism, ensuring that the branches of government check one another and that citizens have the opportunity to make their voices heard.
The Mayor will come to present her budget Friday, March 22, 2019. Agency budget hearings will be scheduled beginning the following week.
For more information regarding hearings or legislation, please contact my Legislative Director, Keiko Yoshino, atkyoshino@dccouncil.us or (202) 724-8052.

Q: how to stop TappedEvent when DoubleTappedEvent is fired in UWP? I have a Stackpanel with tapped and doubleTapped Event.
        StackPanel ButtonPanel=new StackPanel{Widyh=100,Height=30};
        ButtonPanel.IsDoubleTapEnabled = true;
        ButtonPanel.DoubleTapped += ButtonPanel_DoubleTapped;
        ButtonPanel.Tapped += ButtonPanel_Tapped;

        private void ButtonPanel_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
        Debug.WriteLine("Tapped");
        }

        private void ButtonPanel_DoubleTapped(object sender, DoubleTappedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
        Debug.WriteLine("Double");
        }

When I double tap on Stackpanel,it fires tapped event first and then doubleTapped event.In this case,I Don't want to fire tapped event . How to stop firing tappedEvent when double tapped?.I want to do separate actions for tapped and doubeTapped Event. How to do it in UWP?

A: The official document mentions that "If you want different logic for Tapped versus DoubleTapped, your Tapped handler may need to use app-specific variables and a timer in order to avoid running on interactions that are eventually interpreted as a DoubleTap action."
So you could solve this issue like the following.
    public bool singleTap;
    private async void ButtonPanel_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        singleTap = true;
        await Task.Delay(200);
        if (this.singleTap)
        {

            Debug.WriteLine("Tapped");
        }

    }

    private void ButtonPanel_DoubleTapped(object sender, DoubleTappedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        singleTap = false;
        Debug.WriteLine("Double");
    }

Meet Kevin
Fighting for a Government that Works
Ban legislators from accepting campaign contributions from industries they directly oversee and committees they serve in, so they can no longer put their self-interest over public interest.
Impose a 5-year ban on lobbying for former legislators, to limit people from going back to lobby their former colleagues and taking advantage of their inside knowledge.
Work to make the Inspector General's office independent
Tax contributions over $1000 to finance publicly funded elections—allowing anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status an opportunity to serve in elected office.
After thirty years of the same representation, we have to ask ourselves, who has Illinois been changing for? It is no secret that lobbyist and corporate PACs have a huge influence in financing campaigns; thus, shaping the faces of our elected officials. However, something we don't often shine a light on is how these very PACs and lobbyists shape our democracy. Representatives whose campaigns were funded by PAC's and lobbyists have brought change that benefits these groups instead of change that benefits the working people, middle-class, immigrants or people of color. Unlike my opponents, I am the only candidate who refuses to take a single dollar from neither lobbyist nor PAC's. I am determined to limit the influence of corporate interests, fight corruption, and put power back in the hands of the people of Illinois.
When legislators accept campaign contributions from the industries they directly oversee or committees they serve in, they no longer serve the interest of the people of Illinois, but the interests of the industries or committees that are making them money (paying them). I vow to ban legislators from accepting contributions from industries and committees (for personal gain) that do not benefit the working people of Illinois.
In order to represent the best interest of the working class, we need to create opportunities for anyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, to have the chance to serve in office. This is why I plan on taxing all campaign contributions over $1000 and limit those with money of being the only eligible candidates with the chance to represent us in office. This tax will create more financial equality between candidates for a better representation of the people, by the people.
Departing lawmakers are highly sought after by lobbying firms, especially if they held a position of power during their Hill tenure. The five-year ban would limit people from going back to lobby their former colleagues and taking advantage of their inside knowledge. Companies like ComEd and Exelon hired such capable lobbyists to achieve their 1 billion dollars in tax cuts in subsidies for their nuclear power plants in western Illinois. This money could have gone towards a cause that helped the people of Illinois, such as clean energy initiatives.
Fighting for Lower Property Taxes
Enforce a longer property tax freeze for seniors and increase senior homestead exemptions, so seniors with a fixed income can afford to continue living in their homes.
In school district 73.5, 82% of property taxes goes to local schools. It is time to hold the state of Illinois responsible to its constitutional obligation to fund education. It is time to stop pressuring the middle-class and working residents in paying the shortage of education funds by increasing their property taxes.
Reform TIFs ensuring that tax dollars that should be going to public goods are NOT used to subsidize big corporations.
Ensure that the Fair Tax is passed and that voters are educated on the issue and the billions of dollars it will create in financial relief for Illinois residents.
Our community is being pushed out of their homes due to a broken property tax system. I will work to create a transparent system that holds the ultra-wealthy accountable to paying their fair share while reducing the burden on the middle-class.
There are many different types of exemptions aimed at providing tax relief to different groups, from veterans to people with disabilities. However, even with the current tax freezes and exemptions, many citizens who are 65 and older are having a hard time paying their taxes. Most elderly people are on a fixed income; thus, less able to adjust to increasing property tax bills. To help seniors afford to live in their homes, I will implement an increase of senior homestead exemptions and the Senior Freeze value.
Illinois has a broken school funding system. While schools are predominantly funded by property taxes, the inflation of property taxes has fallen most heavy on middle-class citizens, whose salaries have not increased in accordance to their property taxes. It is time for the state to start making more contributions towards education funding in all districts, giving all children in Illinois the right to a worthy public education. Investing in public education is one of most effective ways our government could reach economic prosperity. boosting spending on public education significantly increases employment and reduces poverty. A well-educated workforce also raises median wages in a state. For these reasons, I will work relentlessly to assure there is more governmental coverage of school funding, to take pressure and funding discrepancies off of the every-day, working-class family.
I will fight to ensure that the Fair Tax proposal is passed in 2020. Illinois has one of the most unfair tax systems in the U.S. In Illinois, working-class and middle-class families pay more of their income to taxes than the wealthy do. Illinois is one of only eight states that have a flat-rate income tax system. A total of 33 states have a progressive income tax system that requires individuals to incrementally pay more as their earnings rise. I would further educate voters in key reasons of choosing the Fair Tax proposal, which include: tax fairness based on ability to pay, cutting taxes for working-class and middle-class families, providing property tax relief for Illinois homeowners, raising revenue and help produce budget stability, boosting the economy and creating jobs .
Protecting access to Women's Healthcare
Support legislation that removes barriers to reproductive freedom and provides further protections, ensuring the right for each individual to choose what is right for her and her body.
Protect and promote funding for organizations like Planned Parenthood, so women have access to affordable healthcare and reproductive rights.
Support repealing the 1995 parental consent law, because we need to trust youth in our state to make the health care decisions, without forcing them to risk their health.
Mandating that sexual education is properly taught in every school, because the gap between the sex education students should receive and what they actually received is still wide.
Unfortunately, despite the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that protects a woman's right to choose, abortion laws look different from state to state. Extreme politicians are trying to turn back the clock and restrict women's reproductive freedom. I believe that every woman has the right to choose what is best for her and her body. I will work tirelessly for women's healthcare rights through supporting legislative initiatives to remove barriers to reproductive rights, supporting organizations such as Planned Parenthood, and reforming sexual educational programs in schools.
Investing in a Sustainable Future
Revoke bailouts for fossil fuel companies. Billions in tax dollars have gone to subsidize outdated and dangerous forms of energy.
Support and promote the Clean Energy Jobs Act, which will push Illinois' energy sector to become carbon free and 100% renewable by 2050.
Work towards creating clean energy jobs across the state so that every community can benefit from this growing industry.
Ban Fracking state-wide
Invest in sustainable public transportation in every community that can significantly reduce pollution while creating safe transportation for all.
Replace lead lined pipes throughout the state so that every resident has access to clean drinking water.
Coal mining pollutes water, damages or destroys prime farmland, and pollutes our air. Illinois regulatory agencies regularly award permission to mine through streams and wetlands, which also threatens water quality. Billions in tax dollars have gone to subsidize fossil fuels companies. By revoking bailouts for fossil fuel companies, and electing the Clean Energy Job Act, we can extinguish outdated and dangerous forms of energy that threaten our lands and lead way to more jobs and economic growth that will help Illinois become carbon free and 100% renewable by 2050.
I believe that a ban on fracking is the best way to prevent this irresponsible drilling practice. Fracking endangers communities while it poisons air, water, and the environment. Methane, fracking fluids, and wastewater contaminate water supplies. Although States regulate fracking, most allow oil and gas companies to withhold the identity of the chemicals used because they are "trade secret"—Many of which can be unknown chemicals and carcinogens linked to health problems. Frackers use a controversial legal tool known as "forced pooling" to force resistant landowners to submit to drilling. Under current Illinois law oil and gas companies can impose drilling on landowners if more than half of neighboring properties have agreed to gas or oil leases. Promoters of fracking deceptively use the creation of new jobs to get their practices approved. This is not quite true, as fracking jobs are short-term, often filled by out-of-state workers. Today, three times more Illinois workers are employed in renewable energy divisions than in fossil fuels.
Illinois waterlines are facing challenges as a whole. In Chicago alone, there are 392,000 known LSLs and up to 512,000 service lines that may be lead. EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believe there is no safe level of lead exposure. Lead is harmful to health, especially for children. Drinking water can contribute 40 to 60 percent of an infant's lead exposure. I will fight to work towards replacing lead lined pipes throughout the state so that every resident has access to clean drinking water.
Despite transit's important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, funding for the Illinois transit system is inadequate. While the transit agencies have been successful in recent years obtaining federal and state grants to fund green initiatives, additional funding is needed to implement the strategies included in this plan. I will support increased funding for public transportation and environmental that will allow the Illinois transit system to improve its emissions efficiency and become more environmentally sustainable.
Taking on Big Insurance
Build a public option allowing Illinois residents to buy into Medicaid while moving towards a universal healthcare system.
Strengthen the state's ability to go after insurance companies who wrongfully deny coverage for life saving medical treatments.
Support Legislation that cap the rising cost of prescription drugs such as Senate Bill 667, which caps the price of insulin to $100.
I am committed to fighting massive health insurance companies who have taken our healthcare system hostage. I am the only candidate running for the 16th district in the Illinois House who has not taken money from a corporate healthcare lobbyist. Illinois needs a public option so that working families have access to affordable, quality healthcare.
If they choose to, public-option plans would allow middle-income, working-class adults to choose a public insurance plan — like Medicare or Medicaid — instead of a private insurance plan. I believe that medical coverage is a right for all citizens, not just those who can afford it. Through public option efforts, we can move towards a goal attaining a universal healthcare system.
Part of equality in healthcare for all includes holding insurance companies liable for the coverage of life saving treatments. Too many times, the health of our fellow citizens are held in the hands of big insurance companies who deem lives as a transactional means of making money. These companies will be held liable for denying coverage to those in need of treatment to survive, despite the difficulty or cost of the treatment.
Illinois has taken a bold step towards a long road of fixing a broken medical system. By Passing the Senate Bill 667, which caps the price of insulin at $100, we have chosen to protect our citizen's health. I look forward to continuing my support for this legislation and any other plan to help strengthen our state's accessibility to affordable, quality healthcare.
Lift the ban on rent control, an issue that has gained traction in Chicago and its gentrifying neighborhoods experiencing steep rent increases.
Ensure that in all eviction cases, there is a court appointed attorney present to defend tenants.
Putting an end to background checks on renting applications so every family has access to housing, regardless of their past.
Stopping evictions from permanently denying families opportunities to housing.
Stop criminalizing people experiencing homelessness and strengthen social services.
Illinois is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis. While wages stay stagnant, rent is rapidly increasing, making it extremely hard for families to stay in their homes. To diffuse the affordable housing crisis and protect tenants from losing their homes, we must lift Illinois' statewide ban on rent control. Furthermore, in order to fairly represent the tenant facing eviction in the court of law, proper representation by an appointed attorney is required for a trial that is just and without prejudice.
The Illinois background check on rental applications limit the eligibility of families in accessing housing based on credit, criminal, and rental history. Limitations such as prior evictions for already struggling families can hinder their chances in attaining safe, affordable housing. Constraining struggling families to their past, ensures a low probability of prosperity in their future. I will work towards initiatives which aim to stop evictions from permanently denying families housing opportunities. It is time we took action and stop criminalizing people experiencing homelessness by strengthening social services.
Work on initiatives which put Illinois on a path to having tuition free, public universities and community colleges for Illinois residents.
Increase investments in community college and trade schools for lower tuition costs.
Fully fund state universities, to keep our residents from moving to other states for schools.
As a recent college graduate during uncertain times, I understand how much of a burden student loans can be. The burden of student loans are not just on the student, but their families. Families have an enormous amount of pressure to send their kids to college. Unless you are part of a very small group of parents who were able to save for their child's college tuition, middle-class families are labeled as making "too much money" for financial assistance, forcing them to take out student loans.
The average annual in-state college tuition in Illinois was $18,329 for the 2018-2019 academic year. This is $3,922 higher than the U.S. average and ranks Illinois amongst the costliest as the 10th most expensive and 43rd most affordable state or district to attend college. The higher tuition and board rates are causing Illinois residents to leave home and attend college in other states. This is why it is imperative that our state's students have access to higher education at an affordable price. I will work on initiatives which ensure our residents have access to tuition
Increase State funding for local education so that access to quality public education is not heavily dependent on property taxes.
Reform the broken student-based budgeting model, ensuring that each school meets their needed budget.
Ensure that the state's new funding formula is fully funded every year.
End the proliferation of charter schools.
Make sure teachers and support staff have the ability to bargain for the resources needed for their students.
Support legislation for an elected school board representing the interests of parents, students, and community stakeholders.
As a product of public schools, I believe every child, regardless of area code, race, or socioeconomic status, should have access to high quality public education. Illinois' current education funding system focuses entirely on the distribution of taxpayer money, vs. what is good for the students.
By design, Illinois leaders long ago constructed a school funding system that relies on local property taxes for their funding. It's been two decades since the last significant attempt to alter the dynamic. Originally intended to support the state's most at need school districts, the $4.8 billion GSA (General State Aid) has become, in a single decade, a non-inclusive formula that provides subsidies to a few select districts. Vast majority of the GSA was distributed to school districts that exhibited the need. Nearly 90% of aid went to districts that lacked the local funds to meet the state's minimum funding standards (property taxes). This has caused pressure for middle-class families with inflating property taxes meant to make up for the lack of government support towards education funds. Our government must take responsibility for providing more education funding and stop pressuring middle-class families with inflating property taxes.
our experience in Chicago shows that charter proliferation presents a surplus of schools. This over-flow is now driving declining enrollment, budget cuts, layoffs and charter schools closing, just as it has been doing at district schools. Charter school boards are unelected and almost always exclude parents. With few exceptions, charter schools are founded without unions and kept that way through a harsh, anti-union setting. Teachers risk getting fired when they want to advocate for student rights. I am in support of ending the proliferation of charter schools. I am passionate about reform within the broken student-based budgeting model, while ensuring that each school meets their needed budget, making sure teachers and support staff have the ability to bargain for the resources needed for their students.
Initiate further funding efforts for youth programs that keep kids in safe and productive environments.
Advocate for stronger gun laws that require comprehensive background checks on all gun purchasers and more harshly punish illegal gun sellers who bring dangerous weapons into our communities.
Invest in underserved communities and address the affordable housing crisis.
I am committed in developing a comprehensive approach to dealing with issues around public safety. I propose further funding initiatives for programs which keep kids safe and advocate for stronger gun laws which require comprehensive background checks.
Support the Workplace Transparency Act, which amends the Illinois Human Rights Act while working towards implementing extensive sexual harassment training for all employers including remedies available to victims of sexual harassment.
Support extending the statue of limitations to file suit from 300 days, to 5 years for victims of sexual harassment.
It is time we change our culture in the workplace, preventing abuse and discrimination from happening while supporting victims to come forward. In the wake of several #MeToo allegations in state government, it is imperative we work together to abolish sexual harassment within both local and government workplace.
Hold our government responsible for creating more funding to invest in our social services across the state of Illinois.
Work to make sure that every school in Illinois has enough social workers.
We must end the homeless crisis.
It is our government's responsibility to create adequate funding to meet our resident's needs. This is why I will work to promote and help support laws that aim to increase the budget plans assisting programs such as Meals on Wheels for senior citizens, and childcare assistance for working families in need.
Abolish cash bond system which disproportionally affects people of color.
Invest in communities across the state that have not seen economic opportunity.
Racial minorities are jailed for all crimes at rates higher than whites. In juvenile detention centers, racial minorities are disproportionally represented. Courts considerably higher bail amounts for people of color than they do for white individuals, which only increases the chances of people of color serving pretrial time for crimes they are accused of.
Courts are using digital risk assessment algorithms (RAAs) to advise bail amounts for accused criminals. But these systems are repeatedly prejudice, falsely flagging people of color twice the rate of whites. The algorithms of these systems are biased. A recent Harvard Law Review explained, "risk assessments depend upon criminal justice data that is neither neutral nor objective." When computers look at data about which populations are arrested at a higher rate, centuries of racism from slavery to the modern Jim Crow are embedded in the data alongside classism and other prejudices. This is why I am passionate about abolishing cash bond systems which prejudicially target people of color.
Support laws and initiatives which better protect the LGBTQ+ community from discrimination.
Create mandatory training courses for teachers to becomes educated on LGBTQ+ issues, so they can better advocate for students in need.
Create mandatory training courses for staff and correctional officers of jail, juvenile and prison systems on LGBTQ+ issues, so they can better advocate for inmates in need.
One in four LGBTQ+ people report undergoing discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity over the course of a single year. It is to my truest belief that no one should ever be unsafe, unheard, or disempowered because of who they are or who they love. This is why I will work to create training courses for teachers in schools and staff of our prison systems with education and training to help better protect and advocate for vulnerable people in the LGBTQ+ community.
Supports strengthening the Firearms Owner Identification Card (FOID) system
Supports legislation to ban assault weapons and large capacity magazines
Supports background checks for every gun sale
Supports keeping guns outside of schools
There is no shortage of disturbing statistics about our gun violence epidemic. The rate of gun deaths in Illinois increased 41% from 2008 to 2017, compared to a 17% increase over this same time period nationwide. In Illinois, there is an average of 17 hours between gun suicide deaths. An average of 765 people in Illinois die by gun homicide every year. I am passionate about supporting future laws and policy to increase standards of purchasing guns to better protect our community.

New clinical trial at OHSU tests donated antibodies
Nationwide trial to test effectiveness of convalescent plasma to treat people with mild symptoms of COVID-19
By Erik Robinson August 19, 2020 Portland, Oregon
OHSU is participating in a randomized, controlled clinical trial intended to determine whether convalescent plasma -- the liquid portion of blood collected from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 -- is effective in fighting infection caused by the novel coronavirus. (OHSU/Kristyna Wentz-Graff)
Oregon Health & Science University is part of a randomized, controlled clinical trial intended to determine whether convalescent plasma -- the liquid portion of blood collected from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 -- is effective in fighting infection caused by the novel coronavirus.
The study will recruit clinical trial participants who show up at emergency departments with relatively mild symptoms of COVID-19. The goal is to prevent a mild infection, which can be treated at home, from worsening to the point that it results in a patient being hospitalized. Participants must have at least one other factor that presents a risk to their health, such as hypertension or being over age 50.
Convalescent plasma has been tried with varying levels of effectiveness. Led by Stanford University, the new trial is the first to test effectiveness through a randomized controlled trial – the gold standard of clinical research.
Half of participants will be given an injection of convalescent plasma, and half will be given a saline solution with multivitamin as a placebo.
Bory Kea, M.D.
"Despite some of the media attention around convalescent plasma, we don't really know if it works," said Bory Kea, M.D., associate professor of emergency medicine in the OHSU School of Medicine. "There has not been a randomized, controlled trial using this intervention, and that's why we need to do this study."
Nationwide, the trial aims to recruit a total of 600 people with relatively mild symptoms of COVID-19, then test whether convalescent plasma is effective in preventing the disease from progressing to severe illness or death. Roughly 80% of all cases are considered mild, with 5% developing severe forms of the disease. Based on the size of the study, researchers expect they will be able to discern a statistically valid signal of effectiveness.
Aside from the injection, all patients will receive standard treatment.
The antibodies are elicited during infection, which is part of the body's natural immune system mobilized against the novel coronavirus and contained in convalescent plasma. The idea is to supplement each patient's immune response with antibodies donated by people who have successfully fought off the disease.

OHSU is part of a research consortium of emergency departments across the country, which makes it ideally suited to be part of the new trial.
Kea, who is leading the OHSU trial, estimated that OHSU sees about two people a week who fit the criteria for recruitment: Ill enough to have symptoms requiring a visit to the emergency department, but not so sick that they require hospitalization. Nationwide recruitment will occur over the next six to 12 weeks.
Given the lack of proven medications, Kea said the new study could be quite significant.
"Usually we have years to identify effective treatments, and we're doing it all in months," Kea said. "It's pretty amazing to see what we can do when we all put our minds together."
Support for the trial is provided by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, grant award 1OT2HL156812-01.
The study will recruit patients with mild cases of COVID-19 who also have at least one of the following additional risk factors:
More than 50 years old
Chronic lung disease
Obesity (body mass index greater than 30)

Google Set to Say Goodbye to Chrome Apps From March This Year
March 4, 2020 February 19, 2021 Jason Osei 0 Comments Apps, chome apps, google chrome, web apps
Google has announced that it will begin phasing out support for Chrome apps across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms starting this year. From March, Chrome Web Store will stop accepting new Chrome apps, while developers will get the option to update their existing apps through June 2022, the company said in a blog post. The new development is a follow-up of the announcement that Google made back in August 2016 to reveal the departure of Chrome apps. The search giant had cited "less usage" as the primary reason for its decision to kill the apps that were initially designed to take on traditional Web apps.
The timeline provided by Google has confirmed that Chrome Web Store will no longer accept new Chrome apps from March. The company will also end support for Chrome apps on Windows, macOS, and Linux starting June this year. However, customers on Chrome Enterprise and Chrome Education Upgrade will get a policy in place to extend support through December.
Chrome OS users will continue to receive support for Chrome apps until June 2021. Support for NaCI, PNaCI, and PPAPI APIs will also go offline from June next year. Moreover, Google will end support for Chrome apps on Chrome OS for all users from June 2022.
The changes pertaining to Chrome apps won't impact support for Chrome extensions.
"Google will continue to support and invest in Chrome Extensions on all existing platforms. Fostering a robust ecosystem of extensions is critical to Chrome's mission and we are committed to providing a useful extension platform for customising the browsing experience for all users," said Anthony Laforge, Technical Director, Chrome Platform Team, in the blog post.
A dedicated hub has been provided for developers to help them migrate their Chrome apps to Web apps or build Android apps for Chrome OS. Developers also have the option to transform their experiences by working on Chrome extensions or build Progressive Web App (PWA) solutions.
Google believes that developers would move from Chrome apps and start using open Web standards such as PWA over time. This would eventually help users avail similar experiences of Chrome apps across all modern browsers.
