April 2011 – Helena Wright, Curator of Graphic Arts at te National Museum of American History, suggests a research project that someone might want to undertake. Last week I was doing some research in the Peter Force papers at the Library of Congress, Manuscript Reading Room. Among his bills and receipts are a number for type he acquired from the Baltimore Type Foundry, specifying number of "founts" and their names, sizes, etc. as well as costs. I was looking only in materials from the 1840s, but his career as a printer and editor extends back into the 1820s and forward into the 1860s, and there are plenty of folders of bills for the entire scope of his working life. He was a newspaper editor, sometime Mayor of Washington, and also reprinted countless documents of early American history, and he seems to have done some job printing as well. It might be possible to link his type orders to specific publications. The Peter Force collection is a rich vein waiting to be mined by historians of typography.
April 2011 – Mary Mashburn is quoted in an article on NPR Music about the recent purchase of the contents of Globe printing by the Maryland Institute College of Art. "It's a treasure trove — it's unbelievable," says Mary Mashburn. "The first time you see it, you just can't really take it all in." Mashburn runs a small printing company called Typecast Press, and teaches printing classes at Maryland Institute College of Art — or MICA — in Baltimore. She's also a member of Friends of Globe. She says most letterpress shops today are small boutique operations, printing invitations, stationary, and the like. But young people, her students at MICA among them, have taken an interest in the method. "To them it feels very, very old and removed as an industrial printing method, but it feels very fresh and exciting to translate from their all-digital world to something that has a real hand-craft to it," says Mashburn. Mashburn had the idea that maybe MICA would be interested in purchasing Globe's massive printing collection for its students. She teamed up with Gail Deery, chair of the printmaking department at MICA, to move the idea forward.

I am a letterpress printer with a special love for 19th century wood type. I am always looking for a reason to print since printing is an avocation. (I am a builder during the week.) I am also always looking for reasons to display my collection of wood type. Recently Antioch College, my Alma Matter, has been struggling to survive and reinvent itself, as it has done several times in its history. I belong to a national printer's sharing group called the Amalgamated Printers Association. One of the members promised to send out a tube big enough to handle posters. I had been working, somewhat without direction, on a poster displaying the Tuscan family of wood type. All of these factors came together in this poster dedicated to Antioch College. This poster is also the first item I have printed on a 1949 Vandercook 25-25 proof press, which I had been restoring.

December 2007 – Member Stan Nelson relayed this story to Stephen Saxe.
"At the end of May, I was flown to London by the BBC to participate in the filming of a television program on Gutenbeg's invention of printing with moveable type. This show, called 'The Machine that Made Us', focuses on efforts to better understand just what Gutenberg actually invented, with particular attention on the press. I showed the host of the show, the movie actor Stephen Fry [V is for Vendetta and the narrator for all of the Harry Potter films], traditional techniques of punchcutting and typecasting. Stephen (who is a descendent of the famous typefounders Fry) proved to be an apt pupil, and through the magic of film they cut a punch, struck a matrix, and cast copies of Gutenberg's lower-case p which then went into a forme of Theo Rehak's B-42 Bible type, set by Kitty Maryatt of Scripps College. This re-setting of a page of the Gutenberg Bible was printed on an experimental wooden press made by Alan May. This program will air sometime in 2008.
After filming in England, I traveled to Parma, Italy, with James Mosley to survey the type moulds of Giambatista Bodoni, the famous 18th century typographer. I organized the collection of moulds by size, and sorted out some misplaced pieces. During the second work day, I cast type from one of Bodoni's original moulds, using a matrix from the appropriate set of mats. As expected, the fine lines of Bodoni's design were demanding and hard to cast. Complicating matters, it was not practical to shake the mould, which is essential with such designs if one is to get a sharp face on the type. There is unbelievable material in this collection. Working with it, however briefly, was a wonderful experience that must be repeated — soon."
December 2007 – Members Ray Nichols & Jill Cypher have finished a year-long project designing the book Histories of Newark 1758-2008, celebrating the 250th anniversary of Newark, Delaware, the town they live in.

On November 30, 2016 an international conference organized by the Ministry of Transport of Republic of Latvia named "Progress of project Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica 2016" was held in Riga, where the representatives of the ministries and implementing bodies informed about their achieved progress in each of the Baltic states. Among the spokesperson in the conference were representatives from the three Baltic states including the CEO and Chairperson of the Board of the joint venture RB Rail AS –Baiba Rubesa.
Evaluating this year's development of the Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica project implementation from the perspective of RB Rail, the main project coordinator, it should be noted that we have moved slowly, but definitely step by step and forward. We have entered the phase of important tasks that must be faced in 2017 and which are expected from us by the citizens of the Baltic countries, the European Commission, as well as project partners in Poland and Finland. This means that project maturity must be reached and effective usage of resources implemented. That is what Baiba Rubesa, the CEO and Chairperson of the Board, noted during her speech in the international conference.
She explained that 2016 has been the year of duty fulfilment and responsibility division among the involved parties in the project. This year the Inter-beneficiary Agreement was signed defining the management of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) funding. The Agreement sets the procedure in which the joint venture receives the European Union funding and distributes it among the beneficiaries (ministries of all the states), as well as it defines reporting procedures for the use of the funding. After long and detailed discussions among three implementing bodies and ministries, also the Agreement on Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica Contracting scheme was signed defining project related procurement order and roles. On the Independence Day of the Republic of Latvia also the second Grant Agreement was signed with the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) of total value 225 million euros for construction of the Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica high-speed railway. The total value of the CEF investment in the project rounds up to 633 million euros, which is 82% of total eligible costs.
"In the next year, we have two important goals to achieve. Firstly, our work has to prove certain project's maturity – point of no return, which will be the basis for further funding requests from the European Union for the railway construction works also after 2020. This means that the railway routes in all three countries must be officially approved by the governments, all necessary intergovernmental agreements must be signed , most significant researches and analysis have to be carried out, and all project activities must be going in accordance to the plan, as well as procurement procedures have to be made clear to all involved parties so that the construction phase can be launched. What is more, the project must prove its good governance and transparent financial flow," Baiba Rubesa pointed out.
"The second aim is the effective use of resources. It is important that the implementing bodies and the joint venture RB Rail AS is not duplicating different functions, therefore we have to strive for a model of single Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica implementing body. RB Rail offers to create Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica expert group, which will provide its expertise to all involved implementing bodies – forming RB Rail as a project knowledge and expertise hub. In addition, its resources after the project's implementation can be sold as a service to other similar large-scale projects. Such model would allow to deal with various issues, such as, many project web pages, or employment of many experts in each country."
Baiba Rubesa also pointed out the main tasks of the RB Rail in the project implementation during the next year: the Management Board must be appointed so already in Spring it is fully operating, also an organization corresponding to project needs must be developed, closing the year with 50 employees. Important task is also development of common standards for all of the procurement documentation carried out by all implementing bodies and for supplier qualification. It is also planned to set clear procurement calendar available for public interest. During the next year it is necessary to conclude the cost-benefit analysis, ten-year infrastructure and company business plan as well as design guidelines of the track. Additionally, an analysis must be carried out to determine infrastructure manager in all three countries as well as separate analysis of the already built section from Polish/Lithuanian state border to Kaunas and its compliance to Global Project definition. During this period feasibility study will be carried out for the light rail or tram connection in Tallinn. In her speech, she also stressed the need to strengthen the cooperation with Finland and Poland during the next year in order for them to become an official shareholders of RB Rail.
She expressed confidence that the success story of the project depends not only on the Baltic state cooperation abilities, but also on a common and clear stakeholder vision. The future passenger of the Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica currently is 8 years old. For our next generation to develop the economies of the Baltic states and strengthen competitiveness of national countries, a much faster way to commute from point A to point B must be provided, as well as faster cargo flows and faster access to new services, knowledge and resources. Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica project provides opportunities that must be seen today, to be able to use them tomorrow.
Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica project has to form an economic corridor which will closely connect the North East of the Europe with the rest of the Union; which will create the necessary infrastructure in the Baltic states in order to create industrial and logistic centers stimulating small and medium- sized business development in the surrounding area as well as to facilitate cross-border scientific and cultural cooperation. All of this is possible only by expanding the horizons of our current scope," says Baiba Rubesa.

Used mobile phones can be a magnet for scammers, but if they're properly secured, you don't need to worry. The key is to be prepared before you sell a device, and immediately after you purchase a replacement, so that your data is always save.
Here's our myth-busting guide to used mobile phone security.
1. Your data will be stolen when your phone is recycled
As long as you're careful, there's no reason to believe that your data will be at risk when you're selling or buying a phone. You just have to know how to secure it.
In a study by CPP, 54% of used mobile phones were found to still have data from the old owner. But this is easy to prevent with a factory reset.
When you do a factory reset, all of the personal data on the device is wiped. Of course, you'll need to back up the data first.
Don't forget to remove memory cards from their slots, too; it's surprising how many used mobile phones are sent off for recycling with precious photos still stored on the card.
2. You'll be billed for other people's purchases
When someone buys your recycled mobile phone, they won't be able to access your payment details. But you must ensure that the device is fully deregistered.
On an Android device, you need to remove all accounts on the phone. On an Apple device, you need to log into iCloud and remove the device from your account so that it's no longer associated with an Apple ID.
The safest option is, again, a factory reset.
Remember: some manufacturers like Amazon will link a device to the account for the person that bought it. So if you sell on a pre-registered device, even if it's never been opened, there is a risk that someone could go on a spending spree.
Be sure to switch on devices — even brand new, sealed ones — and remove all of these authorisations and locks before you sell your phone.
3. Used mobile phones will have out-of-date software
Older phones (particularly Android devices) can be vulnerable to running out-of-date software that doesn't include the latest security patches.
Manufacturers are generally better about keeping on top of updates than they used to be, so this is less of an issue than it was.
Providing you're buying a modern smartphone, there's no need to worry. According to Tom's Guide, iPhones are generally completely safe for five years after they're originally made, while Android devices tend to be supported for about three years. So there's plenty of life in used mobile phones.
Get the Best Used Mobile Phones Wholesale
Phoenix Cellular grades and tests all of the used mobile phones it sells. With thousands of high-quality smartphones on offer, we're one of the leading and largest wholesalers in Europe.
If you'd like to buy used mobile phones in bulk, we offer tested and graded handsets that are safe for your customers to use. Get in touch with our team if you'd like to know more about how we can offer safe and secure used mobile phones.

Coming Fall 2019: Improved .zip Downloads in Review, Promotion & Tenure
Planned for release in fall 2019, the following changes will be made to the process of downloading case materials in Interfolio Review, Promotion & Tenure:
- We will add a new, built-in sub-folder structure for .zip downloads of any number of materials at once (such as full packet downloads, or just a selection of materials)
- The new sub-folder structure will reflect the packet sections as defined in Interfolio
- We will retain both combined PDF and individual PDF download options
Have questions? Please contact your Interfolio Account Manager or Project Manager—they can help you determine any impact to your processes with this upcoming product change.
This coming product update affects only the Review, Promotion & Tenure module.
What this means:
If your process for faculty review and/or promotion cases involves someone (such as a chief academic officer) reviewing candidate materials outside Interfolio as a single combined PDF, you can still achieve that with the .zip download option. In that case, you will need to combine separate PDFs outside of the Interfolio environment.
For one example, here are Adobe's instructions for using Adobe Acrobat Pro to combine PDF files: https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/how-to/merge-combine-pdf-files-online.html
At present, we plan to retain the existing combined PDF download option for the foreseeable future, although as outlined here, we encourage you to consider .zip format for better performance, especially concerning large cases.
Why we made this change:
Downloading packet materials in .zip format (instead of as a combined PDF) helps to prevent situations where someone at your institution sits waiting for a candidate packet to download from Interfolio and is unsure of the status, or the system seems to freeze.
This upcoming feature expansion will make the .zip download option much easier to navigate, making this format a more user-friendly alternative to a (potentially massive) combined PDF download. It is part of a variety of technical improvements we are making to the performance of the Interfolio platform.
Benefits of the .zip download option:
Save time and relieve uncertainty: By making .zip download format more user-friendly, this upcoming product change will help prevent situations where someone at your institution (whether administrator or faculty committee member) must sit and wait for a candidate packet to download from Interfolio and may be unsure of the status of the download. The changes will also help prevent instances when the system appears to freeze during processing.
Improved performance: By encouraging .zip downloads instead of combined PDF downloads, this product update will also substantially reduce the risk of multiple, simultaneous large download attempts causing a traffic jam that slows down our system as a whole.
Improvements to .zip sub-folder structure:
To support the .zip format download, we have invested some work into the presentation and structure of .zip downloads in the system. Zip files will now include separate folders for all case sections from a Review, Promotion & Tenure case and, in the future, the associated Faculty180 vita sections. This will make these larger packets far easier to work with in the future.
Here is an example:
