  2. #Donation bins: #Charity or #profit?

    Cons, confusion and—in one case—connections to a #cult are among the reasons #Toledo-area #charities say they want a crackdown on #donationbins that siphon money away from their missions.

    #Goodwill Industries of Northwest #Ohio is leading the charge, concerned that #forprofit companies are using donation-style bins that most people associate with local charities to mislead well-intentioned people.

  3. Este era un problema inevitable: #Toledo está en fondo de saco. Y vamos a hablar claro: poner las estaciones en Mordor, como en Cuenca y Segovia, fue (y es) una mala idea. Pero también estoy en contra de un viaducto sobre el Tajo de todas las maneras. La única solución estética que le veo es tunelar, como en Amberes Central —pero eso no solo incrementa el coste sino que retrasa la obra, y en #Extremadura ya tienen bastante

  4. #ClimateChange Contributes to Shift in #LakeErie’s Harmful #AlgalBlooms

    Blooms over the past decade have started earlier in July and had longer peaks, according to #NOAA researchers.

    "Lake Erie’s harmful algal blooms have started sooner and had longer peak periods over the past decade compared to earlier years, newly released data shows. Warming temperatures linked to climate change are a cause, according to researchers for NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, with interactions among species likely playing a role as well.

    "The NOAA scientists discussed the shift and forecast a moderate to above-moderate algal bloom for the lake’s western basin this summer during a briefing last month at Ohio State University and Ohio Sea Grant’s Stone Laboratory, off the coast of Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie.

    "Algal blooms occur when #cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, grow out of control due to a combination of excess #nutrients, #weather patterns and other #ecological factors. The blooms can be a serious public health problem because some types of cyanobacteria produce toxins. #Microcystin, for example, can lead to skin rashes, gut problems and liver and kidney issues. Relatively high levels of it in August 2014 prompted a two-day shutdown of #Toledo’s public #WaterSupply, which comes from Lake Erie."

  5. #Toledo #Comics readers, I'll be signing at Monarch Comics from 4:30-6:30pm Thursday, Feb 2.

    I'll also have a pack of Baron von Bear postcards to sign, so you don't even have to buy anything--just stop by.

    This appearance is a result of a partnership between Monarch Comics and Toledo Public Schools, as part of my artist residency funded by the Ohio Arts Council (oac.ohio.gov).
