Volunteer Stream Monitoring Workshop
Throughout the neighborhoods of Cleveland, Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights, volunteers have begun to monitor the quality of our local waterway, the Doan Brook. People are rolling up their sleeves, donning hip-waders and delving into the brook's substrate in search of aquatic insects for a myriad of reasons. Some wish to take individual action to augment data that isn't collected by local and regional agencies. Others find it a meaningful and educational way to spend time with their children. And still others are just curious about the natural world around us. At our training workshop you will learn about:

I received a postcard for the gallery opening of this exhibit. I've summarized the basics below. Please visit the website for more details.
SPACES mounts the first exhibition in Ohio to explore the idea of Afrofuturism, the subculture that deals with the interplay between time, technology, race and culture in the USA. Seventeen artists, from both historical and future viewpoints, tackle the impact of technology on the physical, social and spiritual lives of black people.
From science fiction to film and cultural exploration, the artists create work in painting, video and video games, sound installation, spoken word, sculpture, cinema and drawings. Conceived by The Soap Factory and Obsidian Arts in Minneapolis, the exhibition Afrofuturism was originally curated by Minneapolis-based artist Ernest Bryant and Suzanne Roberts of Obsidian Arts. SPACES introduced six northeast-Ohio artists into the exhibition.
Artists in the exhibition include:

THERE WAS A WORLD, ONCE, YOU PUNK
Andreas Greiner, Dunja Herzog, Florian Meisenberg, Lars Bjerre, Lydia Ourahmane, Markus Hoffmann and Serkan Taycan
Curated by Point Project
BLOK art space, Istanbul
Motifs and colours of nature have long been essential in the history of art, especially in Romanticism, to express the creator's devotion to nature and its sublime aura. Until today, images of nature, embedded for example in advertise, in the supposedly eco-friendly display of products, and in visual culture in general, are employed to symbolise an ideal habitat of all living creatures. Popular culture, such as movies, often express a notion of utopia or paradise through imagery of nature, as opposed to the constricted and artificial feeling of the city in which most characters are used to live in. Continually threatened, nature has thus not only become appreciated as a precious sanctuary for society, but it is also perceived as a public space for physical and mental freedom.
In the course of the exhibition "There was a world, once, you punk", the curatorial collective Point Project aims to mark the increasing deficiency of nature in the urban space. Set at BLOK art space in Istanbul, the topic owns a particular level of actuality keeping the recent events mind, when hundreds of people began occupying one of the last remaining green islands in the city centre, demonstrating against plans to replace trees and a green field with a shopping mall and luxury flats. Functioning as a breaking point for further nationwide environmental resistance movements, the demonstration's topics have been broadening beyond the urban development of the park, touching upon issues of freedom, the ownership of public space and democracy. Therefore the question that comes to mind is how much of our desire for nature is linked to a desire for society's or one's personal freedom? What happens to the human being, if these fundamental needs are being suppressed in the on-going creation of artificial space and industrialisation?
With these questions in mind, three themes and perspectives are being explored within the exhibition: Firstly, the political symbolism of nature and its deficiency in urban space, targeted in the works of Andreas Greiner (DE), Lydia Ourahmane, (ALG) and Serkan Taycan (TUR). Secondly, the aesthetic dimension of nature and botany, embedded in strategies employing motifs or material from nature in a poetic or immersive way of storytelling, as in the works of Dunja Herzog (CH) and Lars Bjerre (DK). And thirdly, critical reflections on the commonly affirmative and utopian symbolism that nature implies in today's visual culture, such as in Florian Meisenberg's (DE) and Markus Hoffmann's (DE) installations, by juxtaposing natural and artificial landscapes, and by rendering destructive materials into aesthetic environments.
Introducing both, site-specific and already established projects of the artists, the exhibition eventually poses the question whether art can do more than just pointing to such a critical issue, by initiating a return to nature possibly through a performative act. As part of the exhibition, a rich program of talks and discussion rounds will be encouraging an open debate and thinking about the on-going change of "natural" habitat in urbanity.
Sol: There was a world, once, you punk.
Det. Thorn: Yes, so you keep telling me.
Sol: I was there. I can prove it.
Det. Thorn: I know, I know. When you were young, people were better.
Sol: Aw, nuts. People were always rotten. But the world 'was' beautiful.
Soylent Green (1973)
Andreas Greiner (D)
"Der freie Grundriss" (2014-16)
Fly in a cocoon; contract in a frame; photo of a fly in a frame.
In November 2016 a pupated fly maggot is placed inside a hole in the walls of BLOK art space Çukurcuma in Istanbul. Once Özgür, the fly, hatches from its cocoon it may move freely as flying sculpture through the exhibition space without any limitation from the gallery or its staff. The curators, Anna-Lena Werner, Anneli Botz and Lars Bjerre are bound by contract to respect the fly as a living artwork and provide for its well being. The contract stipulates the allocations of autonomy and responsibility, raising the question for a need of a new sensitivity towards all living forms that we share our environment with. Forming an anthropogenic thesis, Andreas Greiner's work challenges and collapses the common oppositions between nature and human, subject and object, by granting the fly rights traditionally reserved for human beings. Andreas Greiner was born in 1979, he lives and works in Berlin.
Dunja Herzog (CH)
"Shoji (Living Space)" (2014-2016)
Algae/Nori sheets attached to the window
Inside the gallery space there are more than a hundred Nori seaweed sheets attached to a large window. Having a pixelated aesthetic, the window is covered in a dark green colour and is thus literally coming to life. Being one of the oldest photosynthetic organisms on our planet and responsible for cleaning the oceans, the seaweed also has a transitioning effect on the gallery space: The marine algae's material creates a natural habitat with its own rules. The immersive installation raises the sensual perception of light, colour and smell inside the space, manipulating the atmosphere into an under-water-experience. Typical to her work, Dunja Herzog uses 'objets trouvé', such as the Nori sheet, that she re-contextualises or combines with other ready- mades, thereby creating alien environments. Dunja Herzog was born in 1976 and currently lives and works between Berlin and Basel.
Florian Meisenberg (D)
"Blowing from the west, fallen leaves, gather in the east." (2016)
Projection run by custom-made script
Projected on a carpet on the gallery's floor, text appears in the shape of white letters formed by the artist's own, digitalised handwriting, thereby reminding of a signature's typography. It dissolves as quickly as it appears. The order and structure of the text is generated by a program that Florian Meisenberg developed with software engineer Tommy Martinez, using an algorithm that accesses and utilises text files from the entire WikiLeaks website – an archive that embeds 40 gigabyte of confidential material. Acting as a sort of artificial intelligence, the program continuously generates new text fragments, preventing the information to repeat itself. Both, the calligraphic, soft form of presentation and the random choice of content add a poetic note to sheer endless number of text files, undermining the data's importance and their eventual brutality. Despite being accessible for everyone, the enormous amount of knowledge and political intelligence stored online is thus introduced as an alien dimension, detached from individual feelings. Here suggested by the personal note of handwriting and the projection on a comfortable carpet, the subject of intimacy in a digitalised world is a coherent theme in the artist's work, expressed in both physical and digital relations of beings and objects.
Lars Bjerre (DK)
"Untitled" (2016)
The motif of Lars Bjerre's painting shows more than a dozen, colourful watering cans locked to a rusty structure. A green and softly applied hedge forms the background, taking the shape of an unusually wavy bottom that seems to flood over the grey, tiled floor in the foreground. Doodles, dots and pastel-coloured smudges hover above the floor, adding an unreal atmosphere to the already peculiar scenario. Using painting as a means to create open narratives and cinematic sequences, many of the artist's works discuss the positive, emotional value of natural environments, such as the woods, and juxtapose these to objects or man-made-structures of human interferences. Visually apparent consequences of larger social processes like urbanisation and deforestation, as well as their ambivalent outcomes, are thus central to his practice. Lars Bjerre was born in 1975, he lives and works in Berlin and Copenhagen.
Lydia Ourahmane (ALG)
"Arzew" (2016)
Polaroid & Video loop
In Lydia Ourahmane's video loop "Arzew" a burning car is firing up in the middle of a wasteland. Dark clouds of smoke accumulate into the air, setting a stark contrast against the blue hour's cool sky; the breaking of the fast - a scenery of a melancholic aesthetic. The footage was shot amongst the gas refinery of Arzew in Algeria from which underground pipelines carry the gas 2,235 km to the reservoir of Saint Illiers, in northern France. The burning car of "Arzew" is set in direct relation to the pollution of Arzew, where the waste fuel is mainly burnt off into the atmosphere unfiltered and direct. The particular gas flares, the artist is referring to, have been burning since 1973, reducing the air quality in these areas by around 20% in comparison to major cities in Algeria. Within her research Ourahmane discovered that the toxic fumes emitted from these kinds of gas refineries have been linked to multiple cancers and birth defects with continuous complaints from residents in surrounding villages that they "cannot breathe". This has caused a steady depopulation. Lydia Ourahmane was born in 1992 in Saϊda, Algeria. She is currently living and working between Oran, Algeria and London, UK. Her work explores youth and transitional existences, surveillance and complex social and political structures.

"Bikini Atoll Containment" (2016)
Coconuts from the Marshall Islands, lead plate, salt water, glass cube
Placed on top of a lead plate, that is used to shield nuclear radiation, 37 coconuts are positioned next to a plinth carrying an aquarium that is filled with salt water. Floating in equilibrium, in the middle of the water, hovers a radioactively contaminated coconut from the Marshall Islands that the artist filled with lead. Some of the coconuts carry inlays of silver lead in reference to the navigation tools, the so-called "Stick-Charts", which the island's local seafarers use. Markus Hoffmann's installation suggests the coconut as a metaphor for nuclear waste transportation and migration into the marine environment and thus into the world: His work refers directly to current consequences of nuclear testing that have been made during the Cold War at the Bikini Atoll. Contaminated by the isotope Caesium-137, the topsoil was deposited beneath the nuclear test crater – the so-called Cactus Dome –, but is now becoming a danger to the ocean, due to leaking cracks and the rising sea level. While coconut plantations were installed on the islands, using the plants to withdraw radioactive poison from the soil, the coconuts themselves are not consumable as they are toxic, too. As in many of the artist's works, an object, such as the coconut, is transformed in a formally aesthetic and minimalist manner, while it carries ambivalent and uncanny connotations once the viewer learns about its origin. Markus Hoffmann was born in 1982, he lives and works in Berlin.
Serkan Taycan (TUR)
"Shell 1 & 13" (2012)
Archival pigment print on aluminium
In the photographic series "Shell" artist Serkan Taycan sets out to reveal the fragile nature of massive cityscapes along of Istanbul, raising questions about the potential change of its urban landscape. What might be the new image of this ancient city, as it is turning into a megalopolis that is facing intense social and ecological problems due to unbridled construction projects? Artist Merve Ünsal says, "Serkan Taycan's photographs represent the shifting identity of a city that is marked by an amoebic, amorphous expansion that its inhabitants have become acclimated to. This acclimation, of course, is charged with a sense of resignation, wrapped in crusted frustration. After all, how could there be a claim of an identity when the periphery is both vaster and more illustrative of the current?" In his observations, Serkan Taycan uses photography as a tool of research and analysis. Due to the slow process of their production, his photographs enable the artist to stay in the respective area for a longer period of time. A tangible presence that results in a close observation and a careful composure of the final image. Serkan Taycan was born in 1978, he lives and works in Istanbul.

Beijing's Plan to Cut Executive Pay at Odds With Market-Oriented Reforms
Sep 3, 2014 3:03 pm HKT
A flag printed with a logo of the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) flies alongside a Chinese flag outside a branch in China's southern city of Shenzhen.
Beijing's recent order that state-owned enterprises cut executives' salaries is sending a mixed message.
The administrative cap on pay is at odds with government efforts to make state firms more market-oriented, but nonetheless the reform seems to have received little resistance so far.
Executives at China's state-owned banks, one of the main targets in the campaign , told reporters at their recent first-half earnings press conferences that they fully support the Communist Party's decision to curb their pay and perks.
"Executives at central-level state firms are appointed by the party to implement related policies and to shoulder relevant social responsibilities. From this perspective, our political duties are bigger than their economic ones," Wang Hongzhang, chairman of China Construction Bank—the country's second-largest lender by assets—said at a briefing Monday.
Though the state banks all have publicly listed shares, the government is their biggest shareholder and the lenders' top executives are appointed by the Organization Department, which controls Chinese Communist Party personnel matters and top-level appointments.
Mr. Wang said his current salary was reviewed and approved by China's Ministry of Finance and that he would strictly implement the party's plan to rein in executives' pay.
"It's still unknown how much it will be cut, but it definitely won't affect our working enthusiasm," he told reporters at the briefing. "On the contrary, it will encourage us to fight more actively on our positions and to fulfill our tasks."
While Chinese bankers' remuneration isn't unreasonably high compared with their Western peers—Brian Moynihan, chief executive of Bank of America, the second-largest U.S. lender by assets, received $13.1 million in compensation for 2013 while Mr. Wang got 1.13 million yuan ($182,258) last year—critics argue that the government's protective policies have made bank executives' job much easier and helped the lenders to easily generate huge profits.

Chinese state-owned banks have been subject to a barrage of criticism over their massive profits and the monopolistic power they hold over the country's economy. The top five state banks reported a total of 509.29 billion yuan ($82.1 billion) in net profit in the first half of this year, up 9% from same period last year. The growth rate was down substantially from 20% in the previous years, but it still exceeds China's overall economic growth rate of 7.4% in the first six months of the year and is well ahead of Western commercial banks.
State-regulated interest rates, which guarantee a fat spread between deposit and lending rates, are the main source of Chinese lenders' large profits. Critics also argue the deposit rates, capped by the government at 3.3% for one-year savings, are rigged against savers.
Nevertheless, Beijing's vowing to make banks more market-driven and inviting more private investment into state lenders on one hand while forbidding the market from setting executives' salaries looks quite contradictory.
A better suggestion might be to loosen control over interest rates and inject more competition into the state-dominant banking sector so bankers can work their butts off to earn what they deserve.

Q: How to make an element look resizable I was trying to create a look similar to how Adobe Illustrator looks when you are resizing or moving an element. I was unable to find helpful sources on the matter of how to achieve this via CSS only.

A: JSFiddle
HTML:

  Label:
  <input type='text' />

CSS:
#input_container{position:relative; outline:#333 dashed 2px;}

.resizeStyles:before, .resizeStyles:after{
    content:'';
    position:absolute;
    width:100%;
    height:6px;
    border-width:6px;
    border-style:none dotted;
    border-color:#333;
}
.resizeStyles:before{top:-4px; left:-6px;}
.resizeStyles:after{bottom:-4px; right:-6px;}

Note: I am generating elements via jQuery, so it made sense for me to add & remove a class .resizeStyles to attach styles to.
