Learn from a panel of insiders how to avoid common pitfalls to get your projects successfully funded and implemented. The ongoing digitalization enables industries to launch innovative products and services, but at the same time brings numerous challenges. One of these is time-to-market and the implementation of new offerings on existing systems. This session will explore how new, recurring business models in IoT are being implemented today to help companies achieve breakthroughs, including the development of 'as a Service'.
Learn how Blockchain builds trust in a multi-sided business delivery model and how artificial intelligence is helping to gain consumer insights. Across all industries, billions of remote assets will soon be connected to increase productivity, reduce costs, and create new revenue streams, in ways previously unthinkable. This moderated, yet totally unscripted, panel of participants will discuss some of the pressing challenges which facing these enterprises are facing when they want to connect their remote assets, as well as and cover the latest trends in IoT connectivity.
The panelists will also discuss talk about ground-breaking innovations from the cellular and satellite industries, some of which are becoming a reality today.
Join us for this session for thought-provoking debates and accelerated learnings from renowned industry and IoT industry experts. They provide consumers with new services that make tasks easier, from downloading new programs to installing new software releases for appliances and receiving remote diagnostics and monitoring. Learn how they developed a system architecture that enables a secure connection for their products, enabling them to provide their customers with convenient services without compromising on security, including remote diagnostics and monitoring, the ability to download new programs and the ability to install new software releases for appliances.
In fact, some of the data that should arguably be publicly accessible can help create products and services such as improved brakes that may eventually become standard. Creating cost-effective ecosystems is key to achieving the highest ROI. In this session, we will explore what data should be stored in the vehicle, the cloud, the edge, or at a data center; how data is collected from other vehicles, infrastructure, and the environment through sensors; and how to set up data management systems to collect, index, and tag the data to aid analysis and support AI workloads.
We will consider different scenarios, such as using black box systems vs. The challenge then becomes how to manage these new servers while maintaining data integrity, security and availability. Scaling from a small proof-of-concept environment, to a smart factory can challenge even the most willing manufacturer. Through collaboration between IT and OT teams, manufacturers have been able to standardize and deploy industrial grade IT infrastructure with proven IT management, ensuring scalability, security and manageability.
Join this dynamic session to hear how a leading tools manufacturer, a global automotive manufacturer, and several other customers have overcome the PoC to production scaling challenges. AI is powering the breakneck transition from the Information Age to the Age of Intelligent Machines and creating profound changes in business and society.
Autonomous cars, personalized medicine, chatbots and co-bots, and other types of intelligent machines promise to automate processes, boost efficiencies, and create new disruptive products and services. But these intelligent machines will also track our every move, create and expose societal biases, eliminate jobs, and, some fear, will one day develop a will of their own and go rogue. In his talk, Joe will offer a perspective on the future of AI and machine-learning technologies.
He will explain the principles of AI and machine learning technologies, what they can and cannot do at least not in the foreseeable future , and discuss the opportunities and threats posed by autonomous machines in a future dominated by AI. Renewables, like solar or wind, have empowered everyone to become an energy generator. This technology will reduce the price you pay, reduce blackouts and increase the amount of green energy we use.
While DLTs have the ability to disrupt many different parts of our lives,one of the most significant areas it will affect is how we produce and consume electricity. This session will explore the impact of DLTs on the ways we personally distribute and consume electricity. We will examine real world examples used in the energy industry and what the future of energy generation, distribution and consumption will look like. We are told that the world is digitizing and the solution is technology but digitization is a one-way street — from old to new ways of working with new and untested eco systems.
Success in a digital world will be driven by the partners you embed rather than the technology you select. This session will explore how to improve the management of water and energy in cities through the use of artificial intelligence, helping to meet UN SGD 6: "Ensure access to water and sanitation for all". In Madrid, as in any other big city, the combination of public and private mobility services promise to provide citizens new ways of transport that could help to reduce the number of cars in the city. One important friction point for citizens to start using mobility services is that each service require an independent "onboarding" in the operator "APP" to be able to use the service.
Climate debate cut from national curriculum for children up to 14
Thanks to blockchain technology, the mobility ecosystem can authenticate and validate users, register transactions for payments and shared operational data between the different participants, facilitating the access of citizens to their services maintaining citizens data privacy.
In this session, we will share examples of organizations that have rapidly put their aspirations into play at planet-scale. Learn how Xi IoT can be used in smart retail to do cashierless checkout systems, in smart cities to do traffic analysis, and in smart factories to do predictive maintenance and product quality checks. The EU's GDPR puts the spotlight on the topic of personal data, and individuals are concerned about big tech companies monetizing their data and privacy. Businesses struggle with regulations like these. On the one hand they collect and use tremendous amounts of personal data for delivering services we all want, while also trying to comply with GDPR's requirements.
During this fireside chat we explore how enterprises are trying to marry conflicting goals regarding data collection with individual desire for privacy and control. We specifically focus on blockchain technologies and the privacy challenges these bring with them. But we also discuss what options blockchain technologies may offer actually help complying with privacy rules like the GDPR. The session will explore the use and benefits of IoT devices that leverage AI to utilize observed data and enable process understanding, as well as asset optimization to leverage hidden potential in manufacturing processes.
In industrial factory automation, the OPC Foundation's Unified Architecture OPC UA has fast become the universal interoperability foundation for structuring and accessing metadata and configuration of complex factory systems down to the smallest components, and for flowing state information and telemetry between the components of such systems and providing telemetry and process data into external business and control systems, either on the factory floor or in the cloud. The DIN standardization effort builds on this foundation and attempts to answer the question how the value proposition of 'product as a service' can be realized for all suppliers in the industrial equipment supply chain: How can the manufacturer of a sensor built into a drive built into a robot that is part of a production cell get access to live telemetry information from its product?
How are telemetry streams structured? How are they routed and filtered and split?
How are trade secrets protected? Nowadays, most manufacturers are focused on digital transformation and eager to achieve game-changing results with their products and process. While some have achieved success, others struggle to get started and some ponder how to leverage an overwhelming amount of data.

The Dubuque Community School District is pleased to announce the appointment of Julie Lange as the district’s new director of digital literacy.
In this new role, Julie will work to ensure equitable curricular offerings and skills needed for instructional online delivery, provide support-teaching and guidance to faculty and students in the use of instructional hardware and software, and establish and lead best practices for educational content creation, delivery and organization. She will also coordinate the district’s assessment plan as well as Iowa Testing, ACT, FAST and other standardized tests.
“Julie is well-versed in the use of technology to support strong instructional practices,” said Superintendent Stan Rheingans. “Her expertise in this area, combined with her strong relationships across the district and her deep familiarity with our instructional practices, make her an excellent fit for this new position.”
Julie currently works at the district level as a teacher on special assignment overseeing elementary science, social studies and technology. Prior to this, she was the district’s lead elementary technology coach, technology integration coach at Kennedy Elementary School, and a teacher at both Kennedy and Lincoln Elementary School.
She holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education, as well as an instructional coach certificate from the University of Northern Iowa. In 2019, she completed her master of arts degree in educational leadership also from UNI.


The Senate Armed Services Committee gave near-unanimous approval Wednesday to Donald Trump’s choice to head the Pentagon, voting by 26-1 to approve retired Gen. James “Mad Dog” Mattis as the next secretary of defense. The nomination now goes to the full Senate for a confirmation vote, expected this week, as soon as Trump is inaugurated and submits the nomination officially.
Every Republican followed the lead of committee Chairman John McCain in voting for Trump’s Pentagon nominee. Among the Democrats voting for Mattis were Tim Kaine, the Democratic candidate for vice president in 2016, and Elizabeth Warren, touted as a leader of the party’s liberal wing.
Even the lone Democratic dissenter, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, said she viewed Mattis favorably, but voted no because his selection violates a longstanding legislative prohibition on naming a recently retired military officer to the top civilian job at the Pentagon. Earlier this week, Congress approved a one-time waiver of the requirement that seven years must have elapsed between the officer’s retirement and his appointment. Mattis retired in 2013.
Mattis, a career Marine commander, headed the US Central Command and clashed with the Obama White House over its Iran policy. He favored a more confrontational line, particularly in day-to-day military operations in the Persian Gulf. He was effusively praised by Democrats at his confirmation hearing, particularly because he espoused a hard line against Russia in seeming contrast to the conciliatory posture adopted by Trump throughout the election campaign and during the transition period.
At the confirmation hearing, Mattis advocated a role for the US military in virtually every part of the world, declaring, “America has global responsibilities, and it is not to our advantage to leave any of those areas to the world absent from our efforts.” He told the committee that world order was “under the biggest attacks since World War II,” adding that the attacks were coming from “Russia, from terrorist groups, and with what China is doing in the South China Sea.”
Asked to list “threats” to the US, Mattis began with Russia. He continued, “[A]nd then it would certainly include any nations that are looking to intimidate nations around the periphery or nations nearby them whether it is with weapons of mass destruction or—I would call it unusual, unorthodox means of intimidating them.” In other words, any country in the world can become the target of the Pentagon.
At a press briefing Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (Democrat from New York) indicated that Trump’s nominees to the three top national security posts—secretary of defense, secretary of homeland security and CIA director—could be confirmed as early as Friday, the day that Trump takes the oath of office as the 45th US president
Schumer said he was discussing with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Republican from Kentucky) the logistics of scheduling confirmation votes Friday for Mattis, for retired General John F. Kelly to head the Department of Homeland Security, and for Representative Mike Pompeo to head the CIA. “Those three nominees were not on the list of the nine that we had the most trouble with and wanted the most extensive hearings,” he told reporters.
Trump’s national security nominations were endorsed as well by another prominent Democrat, former CIA Director Leon Panetta, who was interviewed in Houston after he addressed an oil industry conference and praised Trump’s selection of Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as secretary of state.
“If President Trump is willing to listen to people like Rex Tillerson and to James Mattis, the new secretary of defense, as well as Mike Pompeo and others, I feel much more confident that he will make the right decisions,” Panetta said.
The unanimity of Democratic support for Trump’s national security nominees demonstrates the real nature of the transition from the Obama administration to the Trump administration. Whatever their political differences, the Democrats and Republicans are united in their allegiance to the military-intelligence apparatus of US imperialism.
Schumer made a vigorous display of opposition and outrage at his press briefing, complaining that the Republican majority was seeking to ram through nominees without allowing sufficient time for questioning, and in many cases before the nominees had even completed the necessary paperwork to allow potential conflicts of interest to be vetted.
The Democratic leader declared, “This is a swamp cabinet full of bankers and billionaires,” significantly remaining silent on the other primary component of the Trump cabinet, former military officers, including, in addition to Mattis and Kelly, retired Gen. Michael Flynn as national security adviser and retired Gen. Keith Kellogg as chief of staff of the National Security Council.
Schumer also suggested that Representative Mick Mulvaney might withdraw as the nominee for budget director because of his failure to pay more than $15,000 in payroll taxes for a nanny. Similar tax delinquencies sank the nomination of former Senator Thomas Daschle to be Obama’s secretary of health and human services, but failed to stop the confirmation of Timothy Geithner as Obama’s first treasury secretary.
Democratic senators made loud noises at several confirmation hearings, particularly those for Representative Tom Price, named to head the Department of Health and Human Services, and Scott Pruitt, nominated as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. But their criticism was perfunctory, however loud, given that a unanimous Republican majority on each committee will move the nominations to the floor of the Senate and the 52-48 Republican majority in the Senate will confirm the nominees.
Even Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Education, billionaire heiress and charter school advocate Betsy DeVos, appears likely to sail through, although her confirmation hearing exposed her complete ignorance on basic education policy issues.
Only Rex Tillerson for secretary of state is in jeopardy, and then only because a single Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Marco Rubio of Florida, has criticized him sharply while claiming to be undecided. Rubio’s opposition, like that of McCain and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, is from the right, echoing Democratic Party criticism of Trump’s foreign policy as too soft on Russia.
The main conflict raging behind the scenes, although ventilated in the public charges of “Russian hacking,” is whether the main focus of American military-diplomatic aggression should be directed first against Russia or China. This dispute not only pits the Democrats and a section of congressional Republicans against Trump, but appears to run as a fault line through the Trump cabinet-in-formation as well.
Trump’s nominee for UN ambassador, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, denounced Russia at her confirmation hearing Wednesday, declaring, “I don’t think we should trust them,” and calling for the retention of sanctions imposed after the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
The most significant criticism of the incoming Trump administration took the form of press reports of disarray in the process of staffing the lower levels of the national security bureaucracy, particularly in the Pentagon, State Department and National Security Council. Foreign Policy magazine flayed the Trump transition team because it “has not yet named senior deputies for the State or Homeland Security Departments.” The magazine continued: “Meanwhile, dozens of important posts at the Defense Department remain vacant” because of a dispute between Mattis and Trump aides over who gets to make the selection.
CNN reported that at least six senior officials in the Pentagon would stay on for the first weeks of the Trump administration, as well as several top aides in the State Department. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates has been asked to stay on as well, reportedly because an official at her level is required to approve wiretapping and other surveillance requests that come in daily from the spy agencies.

Day 1 Arrival Beijing
Transfer via: Flight on your own arrangement
Upon your arrival you will be greeted by our local guide and then transferred to your hotel by a private air-conditioned car. For the rest of the day you will enjoy some leisure time.
Day 2 Beijing (B, L)
Sightseeing: Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square , Forbidden City
This morning our tour will begin with a visit of the Temple of Heaven, which was completed in 1420, and expanded over the years by two Qing Dynasty Emperors. It was the place where the Emperor came every winter solstice to worship heaven and to solemnly pray for a good harvest. With the three blue-tiled cone-shaped roofs, a unique wooden and blue-tiled structure built without a nail, it has become a worldwide symbol of Beijing. In the park nearby you will see people practicing Tai Chi or singing relaxingly.
After lunch, we will go on our city tour to visit Tiananmen Square, the symbolical heart of China and gathering place for the masses. It is the biggest public square in the world, which can hold one million people.
From here we will walk across the Golden River Bridge to visit the Forbidden City and experience the ancient Emperor's daily life. For 5 centuries Chinese emperors carried out their administration here. With almost 10,000 rooms, it was the centre of the Ming and Qing dynasties, a massive complex of palaces, pavilions, courtyards and gardens where 24 emperors used to live. Forbidden City was the largest palace in the world, and in the past it was indeed a forbidden place for commoners. Your tour here will include private access to the Emperor's palace.
Day 3 Beijing (B, L)
Sightseeing: Badaling Great Wall, Ming Tombs , Sacred Way
After experiencing the royal lifestyle, today we will be transferred to the surrounding countryside of Beijing and visit the Badaling Great Wall, the pride of China and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Whereas Genghis Khan contemplated it as a military obstacle, Richard Nixon described it as one of humankind's greatest achievements. You will be able to climb and walk one of the best preserved sections of the 2,000 years old ancient wall, admiring the splendid mountain views. Bring a jacket and layer- although it is breezy, the climbing is tough. So be in a good shape!
In the afternoon we will visit the legendary Ming Tombs, which are situated at the foot of Heavenly Longevity Mountain, Changping, northwest of Beijing. Since there are 13 Ming emperors buried there, this place was called the 13 Ming Tombs. You will walk along the Sacred Way, a road guarded by stone statues on both sides, as the ancient emperors did to hold a memorial ceremony for their ancestors. Finally, you will encounter the marble tombs of the Ming Dynasty emperors and visit one of the spectacular tombs, indeed an underground palace.
On the way back to hotel, you will be driven to visit the main 2008 Beijing Olympic venues, take an exterior visit of both the, Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest/Olympic Stadium), National Swimming Centre('The Water Cube'),feel free to take some photos of the stadiums.
Day 4 Beijing / Xi'an (B, L)
Transfer via: Flight on our arrangement
Sightseeing: Hutongs, Summer Palace
We will experience a unique Hutong tour by taking a rickshaw this morning. Hutongs are a kind of ancient city alley or lane and are very typical for Beijing. Most of them can be found close to the Forbidden City, and many were built during the three dynasties of Yuan, Ming and Qing. Today, the Hutong is a living museum of Beijing history showing the traditional lifestyle of Beijing people.
After having lunch at a local restaurant, you can spend the whole afternoon to visit the famous royal garden-Summer Palace. In 1888, the notorious Empress Cixi used the money intended for the Chinese Navy to build this opulent summer retreat for herself. We will have a lakeside cruise on the lovely Kunming Lake and enjoy the magical views of the temples, pavilions and covered corridors around. Later, you will take your flight to Xi’an. Arriving in Xian, you will be met and transferred to hotel by our local guide.
Day 5 Xi'an (B, L)
Sightseeing: Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, Bell Tower, Big Wild Goose Pagoda
Today you will experience the highlights of Xi’an. After breakfast, you will depart you’re your hotel. You will visit the amazing 2000-year-old Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses. Regarded as the 8th Wonder of the World, the Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses are the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century. Over 2,200 years ago, the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, ordered the construction of a vast army of Terra-cotta warriors in search of immortality. After his early death they were buried with him to protect his empire. More than 7000 vivid figures in full battle array are formed for battle in several large pits.
Then we will go on to visit the Bell Tower, which is the best-preserved and best-known one among many. The Bell Tower was built in 1384. In early mornings of ancient times it had the mission of ringing the bell and giving the correct time to the whole city, hence called "The Bell Tower". With magnificent carved beams and painted rafters, this classical building is truly elegant.
Our last stop today will be the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Situated in the south of Xian city, it is one of the main constructions in the famous Buddhist temple-Da-Ci-En Temple. There, the well-known Buddhist Master Xuanzang (Monk Tripitaka) stored his collection of classic Buddhist artifacts brought from India in Tang Dynasty. Now it is the Landmark of Xian.
Afterwards you will be transferred back to your hotel.
Day 6 Xi'an / Shanghai (B, L)
Transfer via: Flight on our arrangement
Sightseeing: Ancient City Wall, Shaanxi History Museum
In the morning we will visit Ancient City Wall. You will experience a half-hour's hike along the Ancient City Wall. It is the largest and best preserved present city wall in ancient China and is probably the best military battlement in the world. If you want to, you can rent a bicycle for a ride on top of the spectacular city wall. The wall was built in the Tang dynasty (618 -907) and enlarged in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).
Then we will move on to visit the Shaanxi History Museum. It is a magnificent architectural complex in the Tang Dynasty style. The Museum possesses a treasure of 113,000 historic and cultural artifacts unearthed in Shaanxi, and it covers an area of 1,100 square meters for exhibition.
Later you will be transferred to the airport to take the flight to Shanghai. There, you will be met by our local guide and transferred to your Hotel. Take a walk to the famous Nanjing Road and the Bund. They are among the most recognizable architectural symbols of Shanghai and therefore a must-see when visiting Shanghai.
Day 7 Shanghai (B, L)
Sightseeing: Yuyuan Garden, Shanghai Museum, Jade Buddha Temple,Oriental Pearl Tower
Today we will start the day with a visit of Jade Buddha Temple. The old-time and classical architectural style makes the temple unique and inimitable in this modern city. Both, the Sitting Buddha and the Recumbent Buddha are carved with whole white jade. If you're lucky, you can watch the monks serving a ceremony in a side room.
Then we will head to the Oriental Pearl Tower, the highest TV Tower in Asia, which creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the imagination and attracts thousands of visitors all year-round.
After lunch, we will visit the Shanghai Museum which is the biggest museum of China. It incorporates a collection of over 120,000 pieces of Chinese art & cultural relics and is especially famous for its treasures of bronzes, ceramics, paintings and calligraphy.
Then we will take a relaxing walk to the lovely Yuyuan Garden, a beautiful garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Wandering through it, you will find pavilions, corridors, streams, courtyards as well as many other natural features.
Day 8 Departure Shanghai (B)

We are back home and I just wanted to send you a note and let you know again how pleased we were with the tour package that you put together for us. It was last minute and I realize this made things more difficult for you. Everything worked out so very well!
All of our guides were wonderful. We wanted to send a special letter to let you know that we were most impressed with our last guide, Mr. Yak (Tserang). He was with us for the Tiger Leaping Gorge hike and then in Shangri La. He was the high light of our trip! Mr. Yak was so very helpful, knowledgable about the culture and the area and he was tremendously thoughtful and professional. Joe and I have traveled the world quite extensively and can say that Mr. Yak was one of the best guides we have ever experienced.
We certainly will reach out to you again when we are ready for our next trip to China.

I wish to THANK YOU for making our visit to China the very positive visit that it was. The itinerary was rich with what China is all about. You kept us busy and I thank you for that.
All of the local guides were outstanding. They were always very timely, right where they needed to be each and every time. Besides being punctual I found each of them to be wonderful people who represent China in such a positive way. Thank you! Thank you!!
I'm so happy that we finally got to meet each other. We worked on this adventure for about 2 1/2 years and the itinerary needed to be revised several times. I appreciate your patience and I thank you for that.
We're now friends and that will of course continue. I hope to visit both Mongolia via a tour and also, the Silk Road. Hopefully you can put together a 2 week tour itinerary for both of those places. When I visit Morocco I would like Beijing included in such a visit.
You are a delightful young woman and I'm so happy that we are friends.
My best to you Sandy.

Daniele Watts and her boyfriend, chef Brian James Lucas, were both charged by the City Attorney's office with a single misdemeanor count of lewd conduct in connection with the incident in Studio City that led to her widely seen claim of racial profiling by the LAPD. The cops had received complaints of a couple having sex in the open door of a car parked in mid-afternoon near the CBS Radford studio. The responding cops encountered Watts and Lucas on the sidewalk; they fit the description. When she walked away rather than engage with the cops, one of the cops cuffed her. Then she engaged, challenging the authority of the LAPD to question her and alleging it was all racial. (Watts is black, Lucas is not.) After the stop ended without any arrest or citation, Watts and Lucas posted photos on Facebook and said she was treated as a suspected prostitute due to her skin color. Somebody else (frankly I forget who) posted video and audio of her berating the cops, generating a backlash from, among others, leading LA civil rights activists who urged her to get real. Watts made some TV appearances to push her case, but I saw more ridicule of her than support in social media, then she sort of faded away. Meanwhile, the LAPD looked into the actions of its officers.
Now today the City Attorney says there is enough evidence to prosecute Watts and Lucas for I guess the original alleged sex act. Watts said previously they were kissing fully dressed and not having sex, though some witnesses reported some graphic details of a sex act.
Arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 13.
Earl Ofari Hutchinson and Najee Ali, two of the activists who chastised Watts, said the City Attorney prosecution sends the right message: that claims of racial profiling should not be used to cover up real wrongdoing. "We made it clear from the moment that Watts and her boyfriend claimed racial profiling when their was no evidence that this was the case," the activists said in a statement this afternoon. "Racial profiling is not a toy, a plaything, and something to be charged frivolously, but a deadly issue that civil rights leaders and organizations take very seriously and have waged and will continue to battle against when it's justified. That wasn't the case with Watts and her conduct and the city attorney's action proves that."

Pennsylvania Dutch tradition alive and thriving at Kutztown Folk Festival
Sarah Edris is 22 years old, but she has attended every folk festival in Kutztown for the past 23 years.
The Mohrsville native joked that she attended her first folk festival when her mother was pregnant with her, and hasn’t missed one since.
“The folk festival has always been very meaningful to me, I identify strongly with Pennsylvania Dutch people,” Edris said.
Perched on a ladder above the dozens of stalls, and the slowly drifting crowd of thousands, Edris painted on a small barn.
The black-and-gold symbol she designed was new, but it stems from an age-old tradition, the barn stars, which have long graced Berks County barns.
The barn star Edris painted was just one of countless pieces of Pennsylvania Dutch history and culture on display at the Kutztown Fairgrounds on Saturday afternoon, as the 73rd Annual Folk Festival of Kutztown kicked off its opening day.
The ubiquitous melody of fiddlers playing upbeat tunes pairs perfectly with the smell of fried treats, sausages and roast beef drifting through the dozens of stalls and displays.
Decked out in traditional Pennsylvania Dutch attire, Amy Trumbauer kept the air fryer warm as funnel cakes flew off the counter into the hands of hungry attendees.
Stan and Michele Mascibroda of Pottstown enjoyed a new batch of funnel cakes while lounging on a haystack.
“They’re good. I used to do that a long time ago,” Stan Mascriboda said.
Michele Mascirboda said the highlight for her was craftsmanship, especially pottery.
In a nearby tent, master potter Steven Hunter offered handcrafted pots, bowls and cups adorned with chickens, faces and other unique designs.
He said red ware, or pottery made from clay rich in red shale, was commonly used by the Pennsylvania Dutch to store essentials like corn, molasses and whiskey.
Families gathered around a display of a Conestoga covered wagon, and in the heart of the fairgrounds, people filtered in and out of a small, one-room schoolhouse.
A few dozen children gathered around one of the many stages to watch the sheep being sheared.
The show’s star lay contentedly as Chris Stitzel carefully cut his woolen coat, first using electric shearing but switching to a hand tool at the end to show how farmers of the past sheared their flocks.
Stitzel’s father, Randy, said his family had run a wool shearing operation in Fleetwood since 1896.
Seven-year-old Magdalen Lloyd watched the sheep with rapt attention.
She said her day was absolutely awesome and her favorite parts were seeing the animals and getting her face painted with butterfly wings.
Her father, Lawrence, said the family had recently moved to the Illinois area and this was their first time attending the festival.
“We did birch beer, sarsaparilla and stuff like that,” Lawrence Lloyd said. “The hex symbols were cool, just seeing all the different types of paint.”
In an arts and crafts barn, customers browsed the wares of artist Linda Doucette, who designs hand-felted artwork, using dyes extracted from plants to create colorful wool figurines and paint pictures on wool canvases.
Throughout the fairgrounds, Pennsylvania Dutch craftsmanship overflowed, with stalls at every turn offering painted tin metalwork, rattan chairs, carved decoys, paper cutouts, beanies, baskets, soaps and many other handcrafted items.
Elsewhere, the four-person brass band Der Doppeladler Sauerkraut took to their trumpets to play a style of German folk music described by band member Bill Folk as eclectic.
Folk said he and Leon Moll, Jeff Oxenford and Crystal Cammauf met nearby while attending Kutztown University.
“We look forward to seeing each other (at the festival every year),” Folk said. “It helps preserve the culture.”
This year’s festival was the first since 2019. It was postponed to 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19.
Attractions are open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. until July 10. For more information, visit the Kutztown Folk Festival website, www.kutztownfestival.com.

I have had on going depression for many years, but after two sister's homocides, I started having anxiety attacks, feelings of disconnect, very poor sleep, and then broke out in skin lesions, all over my arms, elbows, face, in my ears, and on my head. I have had several biopsies, and no one report comes back the same. My sleep has deteriorated, even further, since this all started. My sysmptoms started with muscle spasms, pain, headaches, and anxiety...then the sores...that won't go away. I am not causing the sores. They just appear, and take weeks, to months, to heal...I went to the U of M, and a doctor in dermatology wanted to prescribe Doxepin...I didn't understand the connection....and had just recently switched anti-depressants, from Cymbalta to Prozac, so I did not feel comfortable starting another anti-depressant, given my mental state...The anxiety I had was so bad, I could not make myself walk out my front door. I have never had anything like this happen to me...I have seen several different specialist's, and none of them agree on anything in partciular....I need some input here.

SKYCITY Darwin has officially changed hands to Delaware North after the sale of the top end casino resort was finalised yesterday.

SkyCity CEO Graeme Stephens said that ultimate completion of the sale will occur on Thursday.

“I’m really pleased that following a very competitive tender process Delaware North has emerged as the successful bidder. They are a highly-respected and well-established hospitality and gaming company and I’m very comfortable handing over the business we have built up over the past 14 years to an operator of this calibre,” said Stephens.
“The sale is consistent with our strategy to sell certain non-core assets and to allocate capital to assets and businesses.”
The $188 million buys Delaware North 100 per cent of shares in SKYCITY Darwin, but will not include the disputed Little Mindul property, which is adjacent to the resort.
“We’re proud of our contribution to Darwin and the Northern Territory over the past 14 years. Since we purchased the business in 2004 we’ve developed Darwin’s casino into an integrated entertainment destination, refurbishing the resort, adding new restaurants, bars and VIP facilities, a new 5-star resort hotel and supporting various community events,” said Stephens.
“So now feels like the right time to hand the baton across to a new owner to continue the next stage in Darwin casino’s journey.”
Lou Jacobs, CEO of Delaware North, said that Australia had become a second home for the North American company.
“We are thrilled to have grown our business into a diversity of operations across the country, which has been possible because of our incredibly talented and diverse workforce of more than 10,000 people,” Jacobs said.
“With SKYCITY Darwin, we are expanding our presence in the gaming and entertainment market. We look forward to working with SKYCITY Entertainment Group to welcome their employees at SKYCITY Darwin to the Delaware North family.”

11 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in León
Steeped in history, León has the monuments to prove its rich heritage. Besides a brief stint under the Moorish rule of Al-Mansur in the 10th century, León's heyday was in the 10th to 12th centuries when it was capital of the Kingdom of León. During this medieval period, León was an important stop for pilgrims on the Way of Saint James route to Santiago de Compostela.
The old monastery that lodged pilgrims over the centuries is now a luxury hotel and is an important landmark of Spanish Renaissance architecture. Other remarkable buildings include the 11th-century Collegiate Church of Saint Isidore and the city's magnificent Gothic cathedral with its spectacular stained-glass windows.
León's renowned gastronomy is part of its rich cultural heritage. Tourists enjoy sampling regional culinary specialties at the city's authentic eateries. Hidden within a maze of narrow cobblestone streets are lively little tapas restaurants that serve delicacies such as cured meats and croquettes.
Discover the best places to visit in this fascinating historic city with our list of the top attractions and things to do in León.

1. Real Colegiata de San Isidoro de León
The Royal Collegiate Church of Saint Isidore is considered among the most important Romanesque monuments in Spain. The original 10th-century church was built in the pre-Romanesque style of Asturias, similar to the ancient buildings in Oviedo.
This early church was destroyed in 988 by Al-Mansur and later renovated by Christian Kings Alfonso V and Ferdinand I in the 11th and 12th centuries. In classic Romanesque style, the church was rebuilt with three naves and three apses. Because it houses the tomb of Saint Isidore (Bishop of Seville), the church has special importance to Spanish Catholics.
The finest features of the exterior are the two Romanesque doorways: the Puerta del Cordero (Doorway of the Lamb); the main doorway with sculptured figures of Saint Isidore, Saint Pelayo, and the Lamb of God; and the Puerta del Perdón with a relief of the Crucifixion.
On the west end of the church is the 11th-century Panteón Real (Royal Pantheon), a vaulted chamber that contains the burial vault of kings, princes, and nobles of the León region. The Royal Pantheon features intricately adorned capitals and exquisite frescoed ceiling known as the "Sistine Chapel of Romanesque art."
The Panteón Real houses the Museo de San Isidoro that features exhibits about the historic Kingdom of León. The collection contains artifacts from the region, including ancient Roman gravestones, medieval manuscripts, and Romanesque artworks.
The church and museum are open to the public for visits (with an entrance fee) every day year-round. Guided tours are available.
Part of the Royal Collegiate Church of Saint Isidore complex has been converted into a three-star hotel.
Address: 4 Plaza de San Isidoro, León
2. Catedral de León
With its soaring towers and ornately decorated facade, the Cathedral of León is a breathtaking sight. The impressive building, constructed in the 13th and 14th centuries, is one of the great masterpieces of Early Gothic architecture in Spain, with a distinct influence from French Gothic cathedrals in Reims and Amiens.
On the west front, the Torre de las Campanas and Torre del Reloj frame a magnificent rose window and three richly sculpted doorways. The finest doorway is the Puerta de Nuestra Señora la Blanca in the middle, with a figure of Santa María la Blanca and a representation of the Last Judgment.
On the right-hand Puerta de San Francisco are figures of prophets and the Coronation of the Virgin; on the left-hand Puerta de la Regla are scenes of the Nativity and Childhood of Jesus Christ.
The harmonious interior is equally awe-inspiring, with stunning traceried windows creating an ethereal lighting effect in the sanctuary. The cathedral has more than 1,800 square meters of stained-glass windows dating from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Also notice the magnificent 15th- to 16th-century choir stalls, which were carved by Flemish craftsmen.
The north side of the cathedral features a beautiful cloister in the Plateresque style, built in the 14th century and altered in the 16th. The frescoes in the cloister were created by Nicolás Francés.
Arranged in the rooms around the cloister, the Museo Catedralicio Diocesano de León displays exceptional treasures of religious art. Highlights of the museum's collection include a 10th-century edition of the Bible, the Castilian and Flemish triptychs, and the assortment of Romanesque sculptures from the 12th and 13th centuries.
Address: Plaza de Regla, León
3. Convento de San Marcos (Parador de León)
On the banks of the Bernesga River, the magnificent former Convent of San Marcos has been converted into the Parador de León, a luxurious five-star hotel with a fine-dining restaurant and a peaceful garden. Guest rooms are decorated in an upscale contemporary style.
This historic convent has welcomed visitors since the 12th century, when pilgrims stopped here on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The convent was part of the knightly Order of Santiago.
In the 16th century, the Catholic Monarchs rebuilt the convent in splendid Spanish Plateresque style. A jewel of Renaissance architecture, the convent has a lavish facade with richly detailed sculptural decorations. Over the main entrance is a Baroque figure of Santiago (Saint James) in his legendary role as the Moor-Slayer (Matamoros).
At the east end of the convent is the Gothic Church of San Marcos (consecrated in 1541), built on a Latin cross plan with beautiful choir stalls dating to 1543. The sacristy and medallions of the cloister are the work of Juan de Badajoz el Mozo. The floral decorations in the cloister by Juan de Juni are also outstanding.
The Convent of San Marcos also houses an annex of the Museo de León.
Address: 7 Plaza de San Marcos, León
4. Museo Casa Botines Gaudí
This striking Neo-Gothic palace is the work of renowned Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí. Standing on the spacious town square of Plaza de San Marcelo, the Museo Casa Botines Gaudí has the look of a fairy-tale medieval castle with a few surprising modernist architectural details. Notice the unique stained-glass windows and the sharply pointed turreted towers.
Gaudí started the project in 1891, when it was commissioned by textile merchants of León, who worked with the Catalan sector. Business was conducted on the ground floors, and the upper floors were designed as private apartments.
The building was designated a Historic Monument in 1969 and today houses a Museum of Fine Arts that displays works by Francisco de Goya, Joaquín Sorolla, and Salvador Dalí among others. The museum is open Friday through Sunday.
A highlight of the Casa Botines is El Modernista, a gastronomic restaurant that serves traditional cuisine in a chic Art Nouveau-inspired dining room
It's also worth exploring the Plaza de San Marcelo, which is a hub of activity. Several important historic monuments stand on this square, including the Iglesia de San Marcelo. Built between 1588 and 1627, the church contains a precious reliquary of Saint Marcelo.
Address: Casa Botines, 5 Plaza de San Marcelo, León
5. Linger at the Plaza Mayor
A few blocks away from the cathedral, the Plaza Mayor is the main town square of León. This historic square is a center of social activity and has a bustling atmosphere, especially on market days.
The Plaza Mayor is a wonderful place to stop for a meal or to sample tapas. Within its arcades are many trendy restaurants. On warm days, the covered passageways provide welcome shade at patio tables. For those who prefer, outdoor terrace seating on the plaza allows for dining in the sunshine.
On the west side of the square is the Consistorio Viejo (also called the Consistorio Antiguo), which formerly was the Town Hall. This impressive twin-towered Baroque building dates to 1677.
6. Stroll the Charming Streets and Plazas of the Old Town
At the heart of the Casco Antiguo (Old Town) is the Plaza de San Martín, where the 13th-century Iglesia de San Martín stands. This quaint public square is lined with many shops and restaurants. From the Plaza de San Martín, many lively little streets wind their way around the medieval maze of the Old Town.
Locals often take their paseo por la noche (evening stroll) in this area. Tourists will also enjoy wandering the atmospheric cobblestone streets, with stops to sample delicious appetizers at the enticing tapas restaurants.
The historic streets around Plazuela de San Marcelo are also full of charm and interesting hidden corners. The Calle del Cid is an especially pleasant tree-lined street with several sidewalk cafés.
7. Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León
With a multicolored facade reminiscent of stained-glass windows, this stunning "cuboid" building offers a hint of the exciting modern art that awaits visitors. The Castile and León Museum of Contemporary Art features five galleries of innovative exhibits in a 21,000-square-meter space.
Diverse works of art are presented with an interdisciplinary approach. The museum aims to create an interactive experience, immersing visitors in the world of contemporary art, while inspiring dialogue about the creations.
The museum also has a library that specializes in books on contemporary art, and an auditorium that hosts concerts, film screenings, and other cultural events.
Address: 21 Avenida de los Reyes Leoneses, León
8. Centro de Interpretación del León Romano
Continuous archaeological digs in León and the surrounding area have provided a wide range of artifacts from Roman occupation, and this museum focuses on the military aspects, in particular the early years when the Roman legions first occupied.
Located in the historic Casona de Puerta Castillo, this museum is dedicated to the profound impact that Roman invaders had on the region's cultural heritage.
Among the exhibits, tourists will learn about the conquest of Spain and details about the two legions responsible for taking over this region, including examples of body armor, shields, and helmets.
An especially impressive display shows findings from the camp of the Legion VII Gemina, a 1st-century AD installation of Roman army legionaries.
Address: Plaza Puerta Castillo, León
9. Palacio de los Guzmanes
Next to the Casa Botines, this impressive 16th-century Renaissance palace was designed in the style of an Italian palazzo. Created by architect Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, the building has an imposing facade with rounded arches, large corner towers, and wrought-iron balconies.
On the lower part of the building's facade are corbels with the Guzman family's coat of arms; the upper part is adorned with iron balustrades. At the center of the building is a courtyard featuring pleasant arcades adorned with classical columns.
The palace currently houses the León Regional Government offices. Listed as a National Monument, the Palacio de los Guzmanes is open to the public for visits (free admission). The site also has a café/restaurant.
Address: Palacio de los Guzmanes, 6 Plaza San Marcelo, León
10. Iglesia de San Salvador de Palat del Rey
Dating from the 10th century, the Iglesia de San Salvador de Palat del Rey is the oldest church in León. This fascinating ancient monument was originally built as a convent, then served as a royal pantheon before it was converted into a small church.
The Pre-Romanesque building incorporates elements of Mozarabic (Spanish-Islamic) architecture, influenced by the Moorish culture of Al-Mansur's reign.
Although the church was rebuilt in the 16th century, and remains of the early church are limited to the foundation and the transept, visitors still get a sense of its historical value. Many interesting details of the original structure were carefully restored.
The Iglesia de San Salvador de Palat del Rey is open to the public for visits (free admission) Monday through Saturday.
The church is in an area of León that is famous for its tapas restaurants and is a great area for tourists to sample the best gastronomy of the region.
Location: Between Calle Conde de Luna and Calle del Pozo
11. Museo de León
Through its comprehensive collections, the León Museum presents the history of art from the Paleolithic period to the present day. The collections provide perspective on the human experience during key historical periods.
The main building of the museum is on the Plaza de Santo Domingo, and an annex is in the historic Convento de San Marcos. A few kilometers away at the Villa Romana Navatejera, the archaeological site of an ancient Roman village, is another exhibit of the museum.
Some of the most interesting exhibits focus on antiquities of the classical Roman period and the Middle Ages. The assortment of ancient coins and inscriptions is exceptional.
The Museo de León is open year-round every day except Mondays. The museum has a boutique and a café/restaurant. Throughout the year, the museum hosts classical music concerts.
Address: 8 Plaza de Santo Domingo, León
