WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Mark Morgan, the former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has joined the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the nation’s oldest and largest immigration watchdog organization. Morgan will serve as a Senior Fellow and as an additional spokesperson for FAIR. Morgan brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the immigration policy debate and, in his new capacity at FAIR, he will continue to be an important voice in the ongoing debate about immigration enforcement and border security.

«Mark’s experience and unwavering commitment to enforce our nation’s laws has made him one of America’s most respected experts on immigration. His expertise and ‘tell it like it really is’ approach is needed now more than ever as the Biden administration is whittling away interior and perimeter controls at breakneck speed. As Mark has done so many times during his decorated career, he once again answers the call to serve his nation as Senior Fellow at FAIR. Quite simply, Mark is the right guy, at the right time, in the right place,» commented Bob Dane, executive director of FAIR.

Morgan’s entire professional career has been dedicated to service to his country. Prior to leading ICE, Morgan served in the United States Marine Corps, had a long and distinguished career with the FBI, and was appointed to lead the Border Patrol by President Barack Obama. In addition, he holds a law degree from the University of Missouri.

In assuming his new role at FAIR, Morgan stated, «I’m honored to serve as a senior fellow with FAIR, which is dedicated to engaging in meaningful dialogue to influence, formulate and promote responsible immigration policies for the 21st Century and beyond. I am delighted to be part of the effort to seek out solutions to mitigate the tremendous burden and negative impact of uncontrolled immigration on our country’s national security and economic prosperity.»

«There are very few people with as much front-line knowledge of immigration policy as Mark,» noted Dan Stein, president of FAIR. «As we reckon with an administration that appears to be bent on dismantling immigration enforcement and exercising executive power to maximize immigration even during a period of crisis and high unemployment, and efforts in Congress to grant mass amnesty to tens of millions of illegal aliens, Mark is uniquely qualified to assess the impact of those policies.»

KAWANISHI-CTY, Japan, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Metal organic framework (MOF), also known as porous coordination polymer (PCP), are materials composed of metal cations and organic ligands that bridge component metals. MOFs are synthesized as super-porous materials by modifying their metal and organic ligand, as well as the shape and size of pores. Pore size can be controlled in less than nm order and MOF possess extremely large specific surface area (1000 – 9000 m2/g) and their chemical group can be tailored at the molecular level. With conventional porous materials such as activated carbon and mesoporous silica, it was difficult to create such exact porous structure with desired shape, pore size.  Although with MOF, one can artificially design the structure, surface area, shape and size of the pores at the molecular level.  Because MOFs are completely new ultimate inorganic–organic hybrid porous materials, chemical industry and academic researchers have recently been highly focused on them.  

Green Science Alliance has been synthesizing various type of MOF and have been applying MOF to rechargeable battery, fuel cell, water vapor adsorption, gas adsorption, metal adsorption, deodorizing, photo-catalysis, solid acid catalysis and artificial photosynthesis, etc. 

This time, Mr. Tetsuro Kajino and Dr. Ryohei Mori have developed inkjet ink based on one of their MOF which have been synthesized at Green Science Alliance.  They have prepared MOF inkjet ink and printed onto paper and plastic film with general type of cheap printer for home and office. Fuji Pigment Co., Ltd. as their group company had been in the research and manufacturing business in the field of inkjet ink for over decades.  They are specialized in manufacturing water, various type of organic solvent, UV (Ultra Violet) cured monomer based inkjet ink, with both organic and inorganic pigment.  They have utilized that technology and experience to make MOF inkjet ink this time.  Green Science Alliance had developed water based MOF inkjet ink with average size of MOF diameter being 100 -180 nm.  Concentration of MOF in the water is approximately 0.5%.  They will further challenge to enhance MOF concentration in the liquid and develop MOF based inkjet ink with various type of organic solvent and UV cured monomer.  Furthermore, they will investigate various kinds of MOF inkjet ink functions as catalyst, gas adsorption, solid acid catalysis, electrode for battery, fuel cell, etc. So far, MOF inkjet ink had been developed by universities and research institute although it could be the first time in the world to be developed as commercial base.

Hawai’i Life Reports Record-Breaking $2.17 Billion In Real Estate Sales As Hawai’i Luxury Home Sales Jump 26 Percent In 2020

HANALEI, Hawaii, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hawai’i Life, the only statewide, locally owned and operated, full-service brokerage, today releases its 2020 <a target="_blank"…

HANALEI, Hawaii, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hawai’i Life, the only statewide, locally owned and operated, full-service brokerage, today releases its 2020 Hawai’i Luxury Market Report and announces its best year on record. Despite the extraordinary events of last year, Hawai’i’s luxury property sales increased by 26.25 percent in volume over the previous year as Hawai’i Life’s luxury market share grew substantially. The combined dollar value of Hawai’i Life’s luxury sales transactions—defined as homes and residential land priced above $3 million—more than doubled, and the company’s total sales at all price points soared from $1.6 billion in 2019 to $2.17 billion in 2020.

«This past year has certainly highlighted the incredible value we place on our homes, community and sense of place – both intangibly and in very real numbers,» said Matthew G. Beall, Hawai’i Life CEO and Principal Broker. «I’m proud of our team’s ability to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing marketplace and evolving consumer demands.»

Hawai’i Life represented 15 percent of the total buyers and sellers of luxury property in Hawai’i in 2020. Market activity strayed wildly from the familiar pattern of most years. The first quarter set the stage for a powerhouse year, and then sales activity slowed in the second quarter as the pandemic spread and travel halted. The latter half of 2020 witnessed unprecedented sales velocity with the fourth quarter alone accounting for 43 percent of all Hawai’i’s luxury real estate sales – totaling nearly $844 million.

While overall luxury sales by dollar volume dropped on O’ahu and Maui in 2020, trading in the luxury price segments on both Kaua’i and Hawai’i Island increased substantially over the previous year. Highlights of statewide sales in 2020 include:

  • Kauai‘i recorded 38 sales above $3 million with seven sales above $10 million, reaching $273.3 million in total sales. The highest sale was a $36.75 million North Shore estate in Hanalei, listed and sold by Hawai’i Life.
  • Hawai’i Island recorded 107 sales above $3 million with six sales above $10 million, reaching just shy of $586 million. The highest sale was a $37 million Kuki’o estate.
  • O’ahu recorded 128 sales above $3 million with five sales above $10 million, totaling almost $621.8 million. The highest sale was an $18.7 million oceanfront estate in Kailua.
  • Maui recorded 90 sales above $3 million with six sales above $10 million, for a total of $478.6 million. The highest sale was a $24 million Kapalua home, listed by Hawai’i Life.

With low inventory in the single-family residential market expected to continue for several more years, Hawai’i Life anticipates an uptick in the luxury condominium sector with townhomes and detached condominiums leading the way. The company expects the upcoming year to closely mirror 2020. A mild increase in visitor activity is predicted in the summer and fall with foreseeable demand from foreign buyers coming once the vaccine reaches a certain global distribution threshold.

A dwindling number of quality homes available for sale at the high-end may be one of the market’s biggest challenges in 2021. The company encourages its clients to begin working with their broker well ahead of any planned purchase or sale and to act decisively when opportunities present themselves. As a continuous market leader in luxury sales, Hawai’i Life has demonstrated its ability to adapt to shifting consumer demands, and utilize advanced tools and technology to reach new audiences globally.

On the heels of its benchmark sales year – and 12th year in business – Hawai’i Life has joined Forbes Global Properties, a new, curated consumer marketplace that connects luxury buyers directly to best-in-class properties and the high-performing agents representing them. Hawai’i Life was hand-selected as one of Forbes Global Properties’ founding members and the exclusive brokerage for the state. Hawai’i Life will leverage Forbes’ worldwide reach and audience of more than 140 million monthly visitors to provide an additional platform for the company to introduce more discerning buyers, sellers, and real estate aficionados to its luxury listings around the state. 

For additional information on Hawai’i Life, and to access available listings, please visit: hawaiilife.com.

Hawai’i Life remains the only statewide, full- service brokerage firm that is 100% locally owned and operated.

BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — New Age Meats («NAM»), a cultivated and plant-based meat startup in Berkeley, CA with an initial focus on pork, announces an additional $2M in Seed extension, adding to funds raised post-Seed announced late last year. In total, the company has raised $7M and now turns its sights towards a Series A in the coming months.

The additional funds allow New Age Meats to continue construction of a team experienced in bringing products from inception to mass market. Hires over the last year include not just bioengineers with product development and scaling experience, but also a food team featuring key Impossible Foods alumni. NAM reports that their first products, pork sausages and dumplings, replicate the taste, aroma, and mouthfeel of conventional pork better than any product currently available.

«Ultimately, we will fail if our products are too expensive and low volume to be served anywhere but luxury restaurants,» says Brian Spears, the company’s CEO. «We’ve focused relentlessly on driving down the cost and scaling production of our product: hybrid cultivated and plant-based meat that doesn’t sacrifice on flavor. We want to make the world a better place by making the better decisions easy. We are well on our way to bringing that vision to market after our upcoming Series A.»

«As we continue to ramp up to market, we strategically brought on investors aligned with our short and long term growth,» Spears continues. «This round includes a very large, significant industry player in Asia who for now must remain confidential. Additionally, Peter Rahal’s Litani Ventures has joined. His experience with RXBAR, from founding to exit, is invaluable as we navigate to become the largest meat company in the world.»

Other investors in the round include follow-on investments from ff VC, SOSV, and Innovating Capital, as well as new investments by San Diego Tech Coast Angels, BeniVC, Oceanic Partners, Deep Ventures, and Climate Capital.
