Description: A Sachem and Civil War adjutant to Ulysses Grant, Ely Samuel Parker was an important figure in the Seneca Indian nation during the first half of the nineteenth century. Trained as an engineer, Parker was deeply involved in the Senecas' land disputes with the Ogden Land Company and he played an important role in interpreting Seneca culture for a white audience, most notably as a consultant for Lewis Henry Morgan. Collected by Arthur C. Parker, the Ely Samuel Parker Papers include correspondence, manuscripts, and printed materials relating primarily to Seneca affairs, history, language, and culture, as well as politics, education, engineering, and the Civil War. Several letters relate to Parker's service as engineer of public buildings in Galena, Illinois, and to his Masonic activities. Among the noteworthy items in the collection are several essays on Seneca history and culture, a fragment of Parker's diary, 1847, and a significant quantity of material on the Seneca language assembled by Asher Wright. Rich in information on Seneca history, culture, and language and on Parker's varied activities in both the Indian and white worlds, the collection is a major resource for examining the land and political struggles of the Seneca nation during the 1840s and early 1850s. Comprised of a mix of personal and professional correspondence augmented by a smaller quantity of printed materials, notes, and manuscripts, the collection is richest for the period 1845-1860, with only a few letters pertaining to Parker's Civil War service, and even fewer for the post-war period.

ERICA WANTED WEREWOLF POWERS SO SHE COULD DISTRACT THE BOYS AND GIRLS WITH HER HOT BOD AND STEAL ALL THEIR APPLES BECAUSE SHE REALLY REALLY LOVES APPLES.
Baum’s mother-in-law was none other than famous activist and suffragette Matilda Joslyn Gage. She was a frequent visitor at their house, as were many other suffragettes of the time, including Susan B. Anthony. Baum was not only sympathetic to their cause, but active towards it, serving as the secretary for Aberdeen Women’s Suffrage Club, and writing editorials for the “Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer,” urging citizens to vote for women’s suffrage. The revolt of Jinjur in “The Marvelous World of Oz” is an allusion to the women’s movement, and it’s said that the gutsy character of Dorothy was inspired by Matilda, though one can easily see a bit of feisty Maud in her, too.
Though Baum brushed off claims that Oz was at all political, he made a decided choice to make women front and center of the series. They’re princesses, ordinary farmgirls, witches (both good and bad), rag dolls, generals, pastry chefs, and problem-solving faeries. They have adventures, lead search parties, rescue one another, solve difficulties, and challenge the Nome King in combat. Perhaps most significantly, none of the characters -– not Ozma, Glinda, Betsy or Dorothy –- ever engage in romantic relationships. Baum made a point of avoiding such trappings as love interests, because he believed children would find passionate romance boring, and an emotional element which they wouldn’t truly understand. Perhaps there was a personal element in this as well, as Baum, conscious of what Maud sacrificed in order to marry him, allowed his heroines perpetual youth and personal freedom."

tywinning asked you:
As a professor, may I ask you what you think about fanfiction?
I think fanfiction is literature and literature, for the most part, is fanfiction, and that anyone that dismisses it simply on the grounds that it’s derivative knows fuck-all about literature and needs to get the hell off my lawn.
Most of the history of Western literature (and probably much of non-Western literature, but I can’t speak to that) is adapted or appropriated from something else. Homer wrote historyfic and Virgil wrote Homerfic and Dante wrote Virgilfic (where he makes himself a character and writes himself hanging out with Homer and Virgil and they’re like “OMG Dante you’re so cool.” He was the original Gary Stu). Milton wrote Bible fanfic, and everyone and their mom spent the Middle Ages writing King Arthur fanfic. In the sixteenth century you and another dude could translate the same Petrarchan sonnet and somehow have it count as two separate poems, and no one gave a fuck. Shakespeare doesn’t have a single original plot—although much of it would be more rightly termed RPF—and then John Fletcher and Mary Cowden Clarke and Gloria Naylor and Jane Smiley and Stephen Sondheim wrote Shakespeare fanfic. Guys like Pope and Dryden took old narratives and rewrote them to make fun of people they didn’t like, because the eighteenth century was basically high school. And Spenser! Don’t even get me started on Spenser.
Here’s what fanfic authors/fans need to remember when anyone gives them shit: the idea that originality is somehow a good thing, an innately preferable thing, is a completely modern notion. Until about three hundred years ago, a good writer, by and large, was someone who could take a tried-and-true story and make it even more awesome. (If you want to sound fancy, the technical term is imitatio.) People were like, why would I wanna read something about some dude I’ve never heard of? There’s a new Sir Gawain story out, man! (As to when and how that changed, I tend to blame Daniel Defoe, or the Modernists, or reality television, depending on my mood.)
I also find fanfic fascinating because it takes all the barriers that keep people from professional authorship—barriers that have weakened over the centuries but are nevertheless still very real—and blows right past them. Producing literature, much less circulating it, was something that was well nigh impossible for the vast majority of people for most of human history. First you had to live in a culture where people thought it was acceptable for you to even want to be literate in the first place. And then you had to find someone who could teach you how to read and write (the two didn’t necessarily go together). And you needed sufficient leisure time to learn. And be able to afford books, or at least be friends with someone rich enough to own books who would lend them to you. Good writers are usually well-read and professional writing is a full-time job, so you needed a lot of books, and a lot of leisure time both for reading and writing. And then you had to be in a high enough social position that someone would take you seriously and want to read your work—to have access to circulation/publication in addition to education and leisure time. A very tiny percentage of the population fit those parameters (in England, which is the only place I can speak of with some authority, that meant from 500-1000 A.D.: monks; 1000-1500: aristocratic men and the very occasional aristocratic woman; 1500-1800: aristocratic men, some middle-class men, a few aristocratic women; 1800-on, some middle-class women as well).
What’s amazing is how many people who didn’t fit those parameters kept writing in spite of the constant message they got from society that no one cared about what they had to say, writing letters and diaries and stories and poems that often weren’t discovered until hundreds of years later. Humans have an urge to express themselves, to tell stories, and fanfic lets them. If you’ve got access to a computer and an hour or two to while away of an evening, you can create something that people will see and respond to instantly, with a built-in community of people who care about what you have to say.
I do write the occasional fic; I wish I had the time and mental energy to write more. I’ll admit I don’t read a lot of fic these days because most of it is not—and I know how snobbish this sounds—particularly well-written. That doesn’t mean it’s “not good”—there are a lot of reasons people read fic and not all of them have to do with wanting to read finely crafted prose. That’s why fic is awesome—it creates a place for all kinds of storytelling. But for me personally, now that my job entails reading about 1500 pages of undergraduate writing per year, when I have time to read for enjoyment I want it to be by someone who really knows what they’re doing. There’s tons of high-quality fic, of course, but I no longer have the time and patience to go searching for it that I had ten years ago.
But whether I’m reading it or not, I love that fanfiction exists. Because without people doing what fanfiction writers do, literature wouldn’t exist. (And then I’d be out of a job and, frankly, I don’t know how to do anything else.)
Tweenbots by Kacie Kinzer:
Given their extreme vulnerability, the vastness of city space, the dangers posed by traffic, suspicion of terrorism, and the possibility that no one would be interested in helping a lost little robot, I initially conceived the Tweenbots as disposable creatures which were more likely to struggle and die in the city than to reach their destination. Because I built them with minimal technology, I had no way of tracking the Tweenbot’s progress, and so I set out on the first test with a video camera hidden in my purse. I placed the Tweenbot down on the sidewalk, and walked far enough away that I would not be observed as the Tweenbot––a smiling 10-inch tall cardboard missionary––bumped along towards his inevitable fate.
The results were unexpected. Over the course of the following months, throughout numerous missions, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their start point to their far-away destination assisted only by strangers. Every time the robot got caught under a park bench, ground futilely against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passerby would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once was a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the “right” direction, if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, “You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road.”
The Tweenbot’s unexpected presence in the city created an unfolding narrative that spoke not simply to the vastness of city space and to the journey of a human-assisted robot, but also to the power of a simple technological object to create a complex network powered by human intelligence and asynchronous interactions. But of more interest to me, was the fact that this ad-hoc crowdsourcing was driven primarily by human empathy for an anthropomorphized object. The journey the Tweenbots take each time they are released in the city becomes a story of people’s willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of vulnerability, of being lost, and of having intention without the means of achieving its goal alone. As each encounter with a helpful pedestrian takes the robot one step closer to attaining it’s destination, the significance of our random discoveries and individual actions accumulates into a story about a vast space made small by an even smaller robot.
*weeps all over the place* I have robot feelings, okay?
Always reblog bot feels.

FOR ALL YOU STUDENTS THAT ARE BAD TRIPPING LIKE I AM
WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I NEEDED IT SO BADLY A YEAR AGO
I drew this with one of my favourite fairy tales in mind, the story of Tam Lin.
Perhaps some of you are familiar with the story, but I’ll summarize it for you all, anyways. It’s a Celtic/Scottish ballad about a young lady who wanders into the forest one day and meets Tam Lin (or Tamlin) a man who has been captured by the Queen of Fairies. They fall in love, like young people tend to do in fairy tales. She goes back to visit him a bunch of times, until one day, he asks for her help.
There is celtic mythology and brave humans and wolves and you know exactly where my mind is going.
I’d set my house on fire..
Reblogging for the comment.

TEMPE, Ariz. – Colorado’s football team has never had an easy trip to Sun Devil Stadium.
On Saturday night, the Buffaloes were bruised and battered, but finally got out of Tempe with a win.
James Stefanou drilled a 44-yard field goal with 2 minutes, 3 seconds to play to lift the Buffs to a 34-31 win against No. 24 Arizona State.
Steven Montez threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns – all to Tony Brown, who caught a career-high nine passes for 150 yards.
The Buffs had lost 35 consecutive games against ranked opponents away from Folsom Field, dating back to a 2002 win at UCLA.
While the victory was monumental for the Buffs (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12), it was also costly.
Star receiver Laviska Shenault left the game in the first half with unspecified injury and defensive tackle Mustafa Johnson left early with an ankle injury. Cornerback Chris Miller (sternum) also left the game and didn’t return, while several other Buffs were banged up and missed some time before returning.
Despite the adversity, the Buffs finally got their first win against the Sun Devils in this stadium, ending and 0-for-5 drought.
They did so behind the arm and leadership of Montez, the hands of Brown and a defense that stepped up when needed.
After the Stefanou field goal, the Buffs forced ASU to go 4-and-out to give the ball back to the offense, which ran the clock out.
CU became the first team to solve the stingy ASU defense, racking up 34 points and 477 yards. In their first three games, the Sun Devils had allowed a total of 21 points – seven to each opponent.
ASU, in fact, had not given up a point in the first three quarters of any game before Saturday, but the Buffs didn’t waste time getting on the board.
CU took the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards in 10 plays, capped by an Alex Fontenot 1-yard touchdown run.
After and ASU missed field goal, the Buffs drove 70 yards in 11 plays, with Montez hooking up with Brown for a 29-yard touchdown and a 14-0 Buffs lead.
That lead didn’t last long, though.
ASU scored on a 53-yard pass from Jayden Daniels to Brandon Aiyuk to cut the CU lead in half. Then, the Buffs’ KD Nixon fumbled the ensuing kickoff return.
Seven plays later, Eno Benjamin scored from 1 yard out to tie the game at 14-14.
It was back and from there on out.
CU scored on another Montez-to-Brown touchdown, but ASU responded with another Benjamin touchdown to tie the game.
Just before the half, the Buffs’ James Stefanou booted a 25-yard field goal, but late in the third, ASU’s Cristian Zendejas hit a 23-yarder to tie the game again, at 24-24.
CU responded to that with another Montez-to-Brown touchdown, this one from 20 yards out, to put the Buffs ahead 31-24 with 1:10 to go in the third quarter.
The Sun Devils needed just five plays to match that, as Daniels hit Frank Darby for a 39-yard touchdown pass, tying the game at 31-31 early in the fourth.
The score would stay that way until the final minutes when the Buffs would secure the win.


text: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths. Despite the modern diagnostic and therapeutic advances, 5-year survival rate of all cases of lung cancer does not exceed 15%. Therefore, sensitive tumor biomarkers are needed for the early detection and differential diagnosis of lung cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of HE4 (Human epididymis protein 4) and CYFRA 21-1 in patients with lung cancer. Serum samples were collected from 80 patients; Group 1 consisted of 53 patients with lung cancer and Group 2 consisted of 27 patients as control. HE4 and CYFRA 21.1 levels were measured by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA). The cut-off limits for HE4 was 70 pmol/L and 2 ng/mL for CYFRA 21-1. Serum mean HE4 levels in Group 1 (94.79 +/- 50.56 pmol/L) were significantly higher than that of Group 2 (52.00 +/- 21.06 pmol/L), (p < 0.001). CYFRA 21-1 levels in Group 1 and Group 2 were 5.15 +/- 7.89 ng/mL and 1.75 +/- 2.11 ng/mL, respectively (p = 0.004). The sensitivity rates were 73.5% for HE4 and 50.9% for CYFRA 21-1. Both tumor markers were clearly related to stage with significantly higher ratio of increase in advanced stages (III-IV) than in early stages (I-II), (p = 0.021 for HE4, p = 0.003 for CYFRA 21-1). HE4 and CYFRA 21.1 might be used as potential diagnostic markers for lung cancer patients. Especially HE4 may be candidate as a "leading-marker" for the discrimination of lung cancer because of its high sensitivity, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy.

The Wonders of the Isle of Wight
What a fantastic time we had on the Isle of Wight!
On top of Alum Bay we had a breathtaking view across the Needles, we could clearly see the multi-coloured sand cliffs.
To remember our visit we went to the craft shop where we filled a bottle with different layers of coloured sand from Alum Bay.
We watched a live demonstration from skilled craftsmen making amazing glass items. It was extremely clever and fascinating to watch!
We went to see the donkey's at the Island's donkey sanctuary. It was lovely to stroke and feed them.
After a beautiful drive to the pretty little village of Godshill, we explored the incredible model village. We had so much fun there and felt like giant next to the small architecture!
We had a cracking time at then pin bowling and some great scores were made.
Our evenings were packed full of fun and laughter. Every night we watched different entertainment shows with a lot of singing and dancing!

Bitcoin is a circulated, peer-to-peer device. Because of cryptocurrency signals telegram there is no "core" hosting server or even factor of control. Bitcoins are actually developed via a method referred to as "mining," which includes contending to discover options to a mathematical complication while refining bitcoin deals. Any type of individual in the bitcoin network running the full bitcoin process stack) might operate as a miner, using their personal computer's handling electrical power to confirm as well as videotape transactions. Every 10 mins usually, a person has the ability to legitimize the purchases of recent 10 minutes as well as is actually compensated with brand brand-new bitcoins. Practically, bitcoin mining decentralizes the money issuance and also clearing functionalities of a reserve bank as well as changes the necessity for any type of reserve bank using this worldwide competitors.
The bitcoin method includes built-in formulas that regulate the exploration function across the system. The difficulty of the processing activity that miners need to carry out is actually adjusted dynamically to make sure that, generally, somebody does well every 10 mins no matter of just how many miners (as well as the amount of processing) are contending at any kind of instant.
The procedure likewise halves the fee at which brand-new bitcoins are actually generated every 4 years, and restricts the total amount of bitcoins that will certainly be actually produced to a taken care of total just listed below 21 thousand pieces. Due to bitcoin's decreasing price of issuance, over the long condition, the bitcoin unit of currency is actually deflationary.
Behind the scenes, bitcoin is additionally the label of the procedure, a peer-to-peer system, and a circulated processing development. The bitcoin unit of currency is really simply the initial application of this particular creation. Bitcoin represents the end result of decades of investigation in cryptography and dispersed devices and also includes four essential developments taken all together in a distinct as well as highly effective blend. Bitcoin features:
• A decentralized peer-to-peer system (the bitcoin procedure).
• premium crypto signals (the blockchain).
• A set of rules for independent purchase recognition and also unit of currency issue (agreement regulations).
• A device for reaching worldwide decentralized consensus on the legitimate blockchain (proof-of-work formula).
As a programmer, I find bitcoin as similar to the Internet of amount of money, a network for dispersing worth as well as safeguarding the possession of digital properties via circulated calculation.
There's a great deal even more to bitcoin than initial comes across the eye.
Deals, Blocks, Exploration, and also the Blockchain.
Rather of a main trusted authorization, in bitcoin, count on is actually achieved as a nascent home from the communications of various participants in the bitcoin body. In best telegram channels for crypto signals , our company are going to take a look at bitcoin from a very high degree through tracking a solitary transaction by means of the bitcoin unit as well as watch as it comes to be "counted on" and allowed by the bitcoin mechanism of distributed opinion and also is actually ultimately documented on the blockchain, the circulated journal of all deals.
In https://www.folkd.com/submit/http://classicalmusicmp3freedownload.com/ja/index.php?title=%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:ElmaHahn7196/ , a deal says to the system that the proprietor of some bitcoin value has licensed the transactions of that worth to one more manager. The brand-new proprietor may currently spend the bitcoin through developing yet another transaction that authorizes transactions to yet another proprietor, etc, in an establishment of ownership.
Deal Inputs as well as Outputs.
Each transaction includes one or even additional "inputs," which are actually like debits against a bitcoin profile. On the other edge of the transaction, there are actually one or additional "outcomes," which are actually like credit ratings added to a bitcoin profile.
WHAT IS ACTUALLY ETHEREUM (ETH)?
The very first thing concerning Ethereum is that it is not just a digital unit of currency. It is a blockchain-based system along with several uses and also attributes, consisting of clever deals, the Ethereum Virtual Device (EVM) and it uses its own currency named Ether which is the straight matching of Bitcoin.
https://www.instapaper.com/p/7939456 makes it possible for designers to develop and set up decentralized uses, and also is actually actually being used through major banks all over the world for its clever contracts include. Merely like Bitcoin, Ethereum is actually a worldwide network. It is connected through computer systems or nodules which hold out, execute and also validate systems in a decentralized fashion.
Devices of money referred to as bitcoins are actually used to broadcast as well as hold market value among attendees in the bitcoin system. Users of bitcoin own tricks that permit all of them to verify ownership of bitcoins in the bitcoin system. Bitcoins are generated via a process referred to as "exploration," which involves completing to locate solutions to an algebraic issue while refining bitcoin transactions. https://getpocket.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdostoyanieplaneti.ru%2F?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=5301689 of individual in the bitcoin network operating the full bitcoin procedure stack) might operate as a miner, using their personal computer's handling electrical power to validate and also capture deals. In this chapter, we will review bitcoin coming from a very high degree by tracking a singular purchase through the bitcoin body and watch as it comes to be "relied on" and also accepted through the bitcoin system of distributed consensus as well as is actually eventually videotaped on the blockchain, the distributed journal of all transactions.

How long before the next big food scare?
Earlier this month BBC Radio 4’s excellent ‘The Life Scientific’ featured Professor Chris Elliott. He is Professor of Food Safety and Microbiology at Queen’s University Belfast and is a founding director of its Institute for Global Food Security. He has developed a reputation as the foremost ‘food detective’, developing scientific solutions to detect contaminated and adulterated food, much of which results from criminal activity.
In that programme Professor Elliott made the remarkable statement that “more money is made in food crime than there is in the entire heroin trade in the world”. Thankfully, I have never partaken of heroin but I do eat quite a lot of food, so this bit of information is quite alarming.
Professor Elliott came to public attention when, 10 years ago, he was asked by the then Defra Secretary of State, Owen Paterson (remember him?), to carry out a review of the horsemeat scandal which engulfed Tesco, ABP Food Group, Findus and other retailers, food service suppliers and food manufacturers. The shock and horror that certain supposedly beef products contained horsemeat (and also pork) was front page news. It seriously damaged corporate reputations and confidence in the integrity of the food we regularly eat. Horsemeat in itself was not necessarily a health risk, although we generally prefer the beef on the label, but it could have contained prohibited equine drugs such as ‘bute’.
Ireland was the first country to report the presence of horse meat in burgers and this led to a widespread product recall in the UK in January 2013. The subsequent Parliamentary Select Committee report found that the horsemeat contamination resulted from criminal activity in the supply chain rather than the deliberate procurement of horsemeat by food manufacturers.
It was Professor Elliott’s later report which highlighted the need to prioritise food safety and prevent food crime, putting the interests of consumers above all other considerations. The clear concern was that cost saving may have resulted in ‘beef’ being sourced from less reliable suppliers on the Continent, the raw material often going through multiple ownership.
The Elliott Review led to the creation in 2015 of the National Food Crime Unit as the law enforcement function of the UK’s Food Standards Agency. A number of the leading food retailers and manufacturers also came together in the same year to found the Food Industry Intelligence Network, now comprising over 50 companies, to collect and share intelligence on food integrity,
You might think that the massive wake-up call provided by the horsemeat scandal, which not only affected burgers, meatballs and lasagne but also wiped over £300m off the Tesco share price, would have resulted in a major investment in the area of local authority environmental health and trading standards. Not only has this not happened but, post-Brexit, no checks and inspections are taking place as food enters the UK from Continental Europe. The first line of defence which was Rotterdam is no longer there and free passage to the UK provides a perfect opportunity for food fraudsters.
Professor Elliott is less concerned about the big companies supplying the major retailers, which have put in place greater technical resources, but this may not be the case for those supplying independent retailers and the huge food service market. To quote Professor Elliott, the next food crisis is “coming down the road”.

Computing, Libraries, Tennis, India & other interests of Vikas Kamat
|Occult of Durga-murga|| |
| When I was growing up in Dharwad, we regularly used to come across entertainer/devotees who would beg in the name of a deity. The woman would play the drums and the man would beat himself up with a humongous whip. They were referred to as "Durga-murga" or "Durgamurugi".|
The superstitions perhaps have been healed, but the status of the descendants of the community who practiced this cult, is pathetic.
Anyway, I found this beautiful toy depicting a lost way of life, and thought I'd blog about it.

Dying to Vote: Countering Strategic Efforts to Suppress Voting Rights
On Tuesday, Feb. 27, a lecture on voting rights in the United States was hosted by Chris Deluzio, a counsel of the Brennan Center for Justice’s democracy program. The Brennan Center has been instrumental in pushing back against restrictive laws and harsh voter ID laws and voter registration restrictions. This lecture is the second of three programs, and is sponsored by the League of Women Voters (LWV) of Saratoga County.
The lecture opened with a question from the President of the Saratoga chapter of the LWV, who asked why the auditorium was not full when the lecture is about a subject that has been discussed often, stating that people may not care about the issue unless it affects them. As an example of the issue’s relevance, she brought up the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors’ recent vote to reject calls for early voting and automatic registration. The Board claimed it was too costly to implement, but a cost analysis was not provided.
Deluzio began by detailing the history of voting rights in the United States. Originally, the right to vote was limited to white, property owning men, but it was gradually expanded, thanks to constitutional reforms, by reducing voting age from 21 to 18, allowing people of all races and genders to vote, and eliminating the poll tax. Other key measures included the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which made it easier for Americans to vote and to maintain their registration, and the 2002 Help America Vote Act, which computerized the voter databases at the state level.
At the same time, however, there have been measures in place that have prevented the American people from voting. In the years after the Civil War, “Black Codes” were put in place by Southern states in order to circumvent the 14th and 15th Amendments and continue to suppress the newly freed African-Americans. The 1965 Voting Rights Act reversed those measures and required pre-clearance for election law changes for states with discriminatory history. In recent years, the 2013 Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder challenged pre-clearance, and as of Feb. 2018, at least 28 bills to restrict registration and voting were introduced in 14 states.
Deluzio attributes this to the flawed voter registration system in place, which needs lots of resources before it can be fixed. In 2012, one in eight registrations were rendered invalid or inaccurate. There are approximately 51 million eligible, but unregistered, voters, with 6.1 million Americans unable to vote due to felony convictions — something which affects minorities significantly. Out of those 6.1 million, 4.7 million of them are out of prison and face a variety of restrictions, with most states requiring completion of sentences, fines, fees, etc. New York’s laws enable voters with felony convictions to vote on probation, but not on parole, but each state’s laws vary.
The problem of suppressing voter rights is quite prevalent today. Misinformation in the higher parts of government have been seen in President Trump’s various claims of the elections being rigged, something that Deluzio calls “ridiculous” and the Brennan Center has found no substantiation for. These claims led to the creation of the Pence-Kobach Commission — the short-lived Commission that was intended to deal with voter fraud. It should be noted that both Pence and Kobach have a problematic history with voting rights, with Pence making his own voter fraud claims during the presidential campaign, and Kobach supporting strict voter ID laws in Kansas.
One solution Deluzio listed was some of the things the Brennan Center has been doing to increase voter turnout. He advocated for automatic and electronic registration, which would increase registration rates and accuracy, and reduce costs. He used the states of Oregon, Arizona, and Washington as examples of where voter registration has increased since automatic and electronic registrations were implemented. Expanding the right to vote can also be seen in 11 states where they have bills that would extend the voting rights to people with past criminal convictions.
Just as Deluzio is in favor of extending the right to vote, he is also in favor of securing election results — another problem caused by the growing cybersecurity threats to undermine confidence in the system. This is a pressing issue, especially with 40 states having voting machines that are at least ten years old. Russia is the most highlighted threat, but other nations and groups such as North Korea, Al Qaeda, and ISIS could present potential threats. The 2017 Secure Elections Act is an example of one measure put in place to solve the problem, but much more needs to be done.
Deluzio’s lecture sheds light on an important issue that is crucial to the way the United States elects its leaders. There may be concerns about the current system of government, but by understanding the issues in place, perhaps measures can be taken to find solutions.

The end of the year is near! As we wrap up 2020, we are rounding up our top 10 SOLIDWORKS webinars presented by our team of Application Engineers.
In this webinar, we explore the power of SIMULIAworks, the structural analysis solution powered by ABAQUS technology. SIMULIAworks allows SOLIDWORKS users to expand their existing Simulation capabilities with a more advanced scalable solution. Explore the user interface and capabilities as well as technology highlights to help benefit your product development workflow for structural analyses. Finally, we’ll take a look at SIMULIAworks with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and how to collaborate better with your users.
A large assembly in SOLIDWORKS isn't necessarily defined by its size or number of parts; it’s usually just a file that is having performance issues. These issues are normally caused by the complexity of the geometry, machine hardware, and the number of components. Go behind the scenes of your large assembly and learn best practices, hardware recommendations, and more.
Consider a partially filled tanker traveling along and then suddenly coming to a stop. The liquid inside its tank will continue to move forward, slamming into the walls, sloshing back and forth in waves. How much force did that just apply on the tank? Will it cause a dangerous pitching moment? How long will the waves last? Could a particular baffle design within the tank reduce the overall force, turbulence, and time to settle? We used SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation to find out.
This webinar explains four areas of Design for Manufacturing: Minimize - Minimize the number of parts it takes to make your product and reduce the number of fasteners that go into your assembly. Reuse - If you’re going to take the time to design a part, try to make it reusable in other designs. This can be done by taking advantage of the design library feature in the task manager. Design Intent - You want to have intent to make parts with symmetry and parts that align with other parts. Top Down Design - Parts locating parts and taking advantage of the design style can simplify assembly instruction and the assembly process.
Creating ballooned drawings and inspection report forms can be an arduous and error prone task. In this webinar, we’ll show you how SOLIDWORKS Inspection can help you automatically create ballooned drawings and First Article Inspection Report Forms (aka F.A.I.R.’s) from native CAD or PDF files. You can also use SOLIDWORKS Inspection as a data logger/import CMM results that will track your measurements with color-coded results. This can be helpful for manufacturing to reject units before it reaches the quality group, thus minimizing the amount of Non-Conforming Material Report (NCMR) forms needed to be filled out. This will ensure your products are released faster rather than waiting on them to be released until the NCMR is completed.
It all starts with a sketch! But is it a good one? Poor or inefficient sketches can result in errors and hours of troubleshooting. This webinar features four presenters with a combined 50+ years of experience demoing their favorite SOLIDWORKS sketch tools.
“Unable to find file” is an unwanted dialog box that pops up from time to time when trying to open an assembly or drawing in SOLIDWORKS. Common scenarios that cause this pesky popup is that you’re not using PDM (however, if you are using SOLIDWORKS Professional or Premium then PDM Standard is available which will take care of a lot of these problems), generic/duplicate file names which cause external references, using network drives, and you’ve selected the “Dhow Show Again” checkbox. This webinar covers the obscure search routines SOLIDWORKS runs every time you open files, how it uses memory and how we can unexpectedly save the wrong files when working with large assemblies. Learn how to redirect individual files, folders and different options for mass fixes and what causes broken file references and network/cloud work environments you'll want to avoid.
2D Drawings are STILL the 'old standby' go-to deliverable for most design communication. 2D Drawings can be tedious and time consuming, and contain a lot of duplication of effort if you aren't careful. In this webinar, Darin shares a ton of features every SOLIDWORKS user should be aware of.
In this webinar, we introduce some basic concepts of surfacing and how to achieve more of what we consider hybrid modeling. We’ll explain how to use surface tools to augment your current toolbox of solid features that you’re already comfortable with in SOLIDWORKS. Surfacing allows you to start with simple shapes and constructing something that is very complicated or would be difficult to make using solid geometry. We explain some theory behind these tools along with providing practical examples of how to use these features to easily obtain more complex geometry. Some of the functionalities demonstrated are how to create surface bodies from solid bodies, how to repair imported geometry and how to augment solid features with surface bodies.
In this webinar, part of a series of three, we discuss heat transfer modes and how they relate to Thermal and Flow Simulations. Some background on thermal resistance is covered to help understand how a hand calculation might be compared to Thermal and Flow studies. Then we walk through a demonstration using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation and Thermal Analysis.
That’s a wrap! We hope you enjoyed this roundup of our top 10 SOLIDWORKS webinars in 2020. To see what’s in store for 2021 check out our webinar schedule.

The recent financial and climate crises clearly demonstrate that paradigms built on infinite economic growth are impossible. Yet progress in addressing these issues lags behind the changes rapidly affecting our societies and planet. Those in power continue to pursue economic growth, while indigenous peoples, peasants, and other marginalized groups continue to struggle to preserve their ways of life and our planet.
We must take advantage of the growing doubts around the economic growth model to advance alternative paradigms such as buen vivir (living well). The challenge is how to articulate such paradigms to make them viable realities for the population at large.
Buen vivir or vivir bien describes the indigenous peoples’ way of life in the Andes region of South America, but similar concepts also exist in Asian indigenous cultures. Central to the idea of Buen Vivir is living in harmony with nature, which is contradictory to the current extractivist nature of our economies today.
This video documents our series of forums held in the Philippines in 2014 called “Learning from our Roots, Advancing our Struggles: Continuing Conversations on Buen vivir (‘Living well’) and Alternative Pathways for Asia”. The events brought together indigenous leaders from India, Thailand, the Philippines, and Ecuador in discussions anchored on concrete struggles of resistance and alternatives across Asia and Latin America.
The video report from our 2013 forums on buen vivir is available here.

The Daily Beast reports:
To horrified voters, onlookers, and the Democratic opposition, it was another clear instance of the sitting president openly telegraphing his plans to seize power, something some administration officials fear will soon take form within the federal government and among major party organs. But to Trump, it was… funny as hell.
According to two people familiar with the matter, hours after the president stepped away from the cameras, Trump continued following the fallout in the press, including on cable news, and began privately remarking how amusing it was that his answer was making media and liberal heads explode, and also predictably dominating TV coverage.
“He seemed to get a real kick out of it,” one of the sources said, adding that the president seemed to relish making the press, in Trump’s words, “go crazy” over his non-commitment to democratic norms and procedure.

Big Little Lies is an awesome show that has a great direction and cinematography. Fans have watched this show directly after binge-watching Sharp Objects the only reason being Jean-Marc Vallee. Although show grips your way from the start and you won’t get bored a single minute. Nicole, Shailene, Reese have done great acting, which feels realistic like someone’s life is being directly broadcasted to you. And that’s the great thing about this show.
The second episode is meant to air in a very few hours, and therefore the fans are too compelled regarding it. The show is, therefore, involving that the fans would undoubtedly run out for a lot of details once finishing the second episode, that we’ve noncommissioned here.
The second episode can feature legal hassle for Gordon, and it’ll be a retardant for Renata similarly, as she is going to have a lot of uncertainty regarding her future. Moreover, you can see a reasonably cringy moment once Corey will raise Jane for a ‘practice’ date. You can find that there’ll be plenty of funny moments while watching the movie. To boot, Celeste is going to be finally talking her heart out regarding her relationship with Perry. Most significantly, Bonnie’s ma, Elizabeth, is going to be back.
The show is currently 2 episodes deep into the second season, whereas the third episode is due next week. The third episode of huge very little Lies 2 is ready to air on 23rd June 2019. The show is airing on HBO Channel on each Sunday at 9:00 PM. The upcoming episode is titled as The End of the World.

Farmhouse Chic is a huge trend that I am seeing this spring in home goods. With it’s light colors, and focus on flowers and natural elements, it’s an ideal way to transition your home from winter to spring. It is also great inspiration for spring parties! Can’t you picture a bridal shower with a kitchen theme, featuring natural linens and fresh flowers?! Perhaps a linen napkin tied with burlap, and accented with fresh vegetables?! Or a baby shower, with a “feather-her-nest” theme, complete with small bird’s nests at each place setting?! You can take this trend and really run with it to create a shabby chic-like, spring event!
Stay tuned for our take on hosting a “Farmhouse Chic” spring brunch (perfect for Easter, by the way!)…..

Helping adults get creative
Connecting adults who want to find a creative outlet with the the artists and crafters who can help them tap into their creativity.
Creativity Found is an online directory of creative experiences for adults – online and nationwide – that also supports the small businesses who provide those experiences.
Find courses, workshops and kits to try, and if you provide those courses, workshops and kits, promote them and find support from likeminded creative facilitators.
All backed-up by an award-winning and inspirational podcast telling the stories of other adults who have found a creative outlet that benefits their whole life.


The project is included in the cycle of bioconstruction workshops organized by the entity, the Aula Ambiental del Bosc del Turull, in the neighborhood of Vallcarca, where we have our premises.
The idea of the project has been to make a construction that can accommodate different events that take place in the outdoor space of the entity, such as outdoor cinema sessions in summer, children's play area of the nearby schools that are going to play there, and as a stage space in front of the already existing bleachers.
Construction of the structure was done through a weekend session workshop with adults interested in reed construction.
The built structure is a simple design of two structural reed arches and secondary structure ribs that make it more rigid. The innovation in this construction has been the foundations, as part of the support of the structure must be solved with a superficial foundation and the other can be buried.
The collaboration of Ferran Noguera, who works with iron, has been requested to solve the surface foundation. Together with Ferran, we designed a bucket to reach the arches, which later also serves as a bench.

The Tigers are in the middle of a rebuilding season, so expectations coming into this year were low. But they started off the season well, and going into last month they were still within reach of first place of the American League Central Division. Then in the first week of May, Miguel Cabrera was placed on the Disabled List. Due to the surprisingly solid play from replacement John Hicks and Jeimer Candelario, the Tigers were still able to put up a winning record in May. Their luck quickly ran out the following month after the news that Cabrera would not be returning this season came out. Since the start of June, the Tigers have won only 15 games while losing 23. That puts their total record at 41 wins and 57 losses, which is 13 games behind first place in the AL Central. Due to this deficit, the club has to be reasonable about what they can achieve in the final half of the season. So, what goals should they set?
The first goal that the Tigers should have is to trade away any of their rental pieces for the year that they can in order to continue to improve upon their farm system. Players like Francisco Liriano, Mike Fiers, and Jose Iglesias are on the top of this list. These players are not considered the best at their respective positions, but they can still provide a lot of value for a team competing for the postseason. Teams like the New York Yankees, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Atlanta Braves would be possible landing spots for Liriano or Fiers in particular. If the Tigers can manage to move these players for even a modest return that can be considered a success for the club. They should avoid moving Nicholas Castellanos and Michael Fulmer if they can due to the fact that they still have control over the pair for at least one season apiece via arbitration.
The next goal for the club is to give an opportunity to more of their developing talent in the minor leagues. They should completely steer into the fact that this is a lost season so that they can allow players like Sandy Baez and Ryan Carpenter a chance to get playtime at the major league level. This could prove to be invaluable for both the players and the team. The players get to put their talent to work against the best players in the world to see if they have what it takes to compete at this level. Meanwhile, the team gets to see firsthand just what they can do, and see if these players have the potential to help out in the long run. One of the best uses of a losing season in baseball is to test the younger players in the organization with playtime in the majors.
The final, and arguably most important goal for the Tigers in the second half of the season is to build synergy in the clubhouse and on the field. The major league roster is made up of quite a few young players that have plenty of team control left on their contracts, so they should put those players on the field as much as possible. By doing that, they allow the players to get used to each one of their teammates’ playstyles, and how best to accommodate their own playstyles to best match that. This also has the added benefit of allowing the coaching staff to focus on developing the teams potential rather than trying to win every game despite being at a major disadvantage every step of the way.
If the Tigers can manage to accomplish even two of these three goals, then this season should be considered a success. Every baseball fan knows that a full rebuild takes time, so the club should make the most out of that time. By trading away veterans for more capable prospects they help build an organization of capable talent that can perform at a major league level at a moments notice. By allowing young talent to get playtime on the Major League roster, it gives the player a chance to get used to the difference in the level of play. And by playing these young players consistently, the team can start to build a synergy on and off the field that will allow them to consistently compete for the postseason every season.

LVEDC continues to monitor effects of COVID-19 on Lehigh Valley’s economy. We update this page often with information about resources available to businesses.
Lehigh Valley in Green Phase of Reopening
Governor Tom Wolf is implementing a plan for reopening Pennsylvania’s economy. The governor identified three reopening phases: red, yellow, and green. Phases are based on conditions by counties or regions.
Lehigh and Northampton counties moved to the green phase on June 26. In the green phase, some restrictions on work and social interaction are eased, but limits on large gatherings remain in effect. Work at home is encouraged. Businesses operating at 50% capacity in the yellow phase may increase to 75% capacity. Masks are required when entering a business.
The governor announced statewide targeted mitigation efforts effective July 16 in response to a recent increase in COVID-19 cases. These efforts include:
- Indoor events and gatherings of more than 25 people are prohibited
- Outdoor events and gatherings of more than 250 people are prohibited
- Unless not possible, businesses are required to operate remotely; where telework is not possible, businesses must comply fully with state safety and masking orders

Pennsylvania DCED COVID-19 Statewide Small Business Assistance
This program, administered by Community Development Financial Institutions, offers grants of $5,000 to $50,000 to small businesses that have been economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The administrator for Lehigh Valley small businesses is the Rising Tide Community Loan Fund.
To be eligible, businesses must have annual revenue of $1 million or less, have 25 or fewer employees, and have been in business as of Feb. 15, 2020. At least 50% of the grants will go to historically disadvantaged businesses: those at least 51% owned and operated by people who are Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian-American, or Pacific Islander. Additional consideration will be given to women-owned businesses, rural communities, and communities targeted for state investment by programs such as Main Street.
Pennsylvania DCED COVID-19 Hazard Pay Grant
This program was established to provide employers with hazard pay funding that can help them retrain employees in life-sustaining occupations. Eligible industries include Health Care and Social Assistance, Food Manufacturing, Food Retail Facilities, Public Transportation, Ground Passenger Transportation, Security Services for businesses that remained in operation during the business restrictions, and Janitorial Services to businesses and dwellings.
Applications will be accepted from July 16 to July 31.
US Small Business Administration Programs
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) reopened July 6. The SBA extended the deadline to apply for PPP loans until Aug. 8. Businesses that have received PPP loans may request repayment forgiveness if they meet employee retention criteria and used PPP funds for eligible expenses.
The SBA is accepting applications from eligible businesses for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL). These loans provide financial assistance for small businesses experiencing a temporary loss of revenue. Some businesses not eligible to receive PPP loans may qualify under the EIDL program.
The SBA’s EIDL Advance program provides up to $10,000 of emergency grant assistance to businesses experiencing temporary difficulties. EIDL Advance grants do not have to be repaid.
SBA Express Bridge Loans provide small businesses with existing relationships with SBA Express lenders access to up to $25,000 to bridge the gap while applying for an EIDL loan. The bridge loan will be repaid in full or in part with proceeds from the EIDL loan.
The SBA also provides Debt Relief to small businesses with existing 7(a), 504, and Microloans. The SBA will pay 6 months of principal, interest, and associated fees. Borrowers do not need to apply for payment relief. It will occur automatically.
Federal Reserve Main Street Lending Program
Loans range in size from $250,000 to $3,000,000. They are 5-year loans with floating rates. Principal payments are deferred for two years. Interest payments are deferred for one year. Lenders will work directly with businesses to determine eligibility and loan approval. Information for borrowers is available here.
Northampton County COVID-19 Relief Small Business Grant Program
Northampton County has designated $4 million of COVID-19 County Relief Block Grant funding for a Small Business Grant Program. The Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce is administering the program on behalf of the county. Northampton County businesses with fewer than 100 employees may apply for grants of up to $15,000 for COVID-19-related expenses.
Eligible uses of grant funds include payroll costs, costs related to continuation of group health care benefits, insurance premiums, mortgage and rent payments, utility costs, working capital for the costs of reopening businesses that were closed due to the pandemic, costs related to compliance with reopening guidelines (specialized equipment, barriers, protective equipment, employee training, etc.), and any COVID-19 expense not already covered by other federal, state, or regional grant or loan programs.

The winery is located in the municipality of Volkach (Maindreieck area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia
. It was founded in 1918 and built up by four generations. In 2015, the business was sold by the long-standing owner family Flammersberger to Peter Heidecker. Master cellarer Sebastian Schubert is responsible for the winemaking. The vineyards cover around 11 hectares of vines mainly in the single vineyard Ratsherr (Volkach), some of which have a slope
of over 50%, as well as Sonnenwinkel (Altmannsdorf). They are planted with the white wine varieties Silvaner, Riesling, Rieslaner, Müller-Thurgau, Gewürztraminer, Bacchus, Kerner and Chardonnay as well as with the red wine varieties Domina, Pinot Noir, Acolon, Schwarzriesling and Regent.
The vineyards are cultivated in an environmentally friendly and natural way, which includes a cover crop
of the vine rows. For the purpose of quality-enhancing yield reduction, manual thinning
is carried out. The top wines include the barrique-aged white wine HEMERA (Pinot Blanc & Chardonnay) and the red wine cuvée NYX (Black Riesling & Pinot Noir). In years with suitable weather conditions, ice wine
is also produced. In addition, Secco (sparkling wine), noble brandies (fruit, berries, sloe), liqueurs (sour cherry, hazelnut) and white mulled wine are also produced. The winery is a member of the Franconian winegrowers' association Frank & Frei

A third round of feeding trials conducted by a team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Purdue University has again shown that the dietary supplement L-glutamine can naturally promote growth and wellness in pigs.
Jay S. Johnson, an animal scientist with the ARS Livestock Behavior Research Unit in West Lafayette, Ind., and his Purdue collaborators are investigating L-glutamine as a natural alternative to using dietary antibiotics, ARS said in an announcement. Swine producers were using antibiotics to help piglets cope with stressful events like being weaned from their mothers and then transported, which can lower young animals' immune function, feed intake and growth.
The team's investigation of L-glutamine, a naturally occurring amino acid found in the body and in food, is part of a broader research effort to identify suitable replacements for antibiotics that are just as effective, safe and economical to use, ARS added.
The latest study is an expansion of trials conducted in 2017 and 2018. As before, groups of piglets were weaned and then transported for 12 hours, simulating what they might experience in a commercial operation. After transport, the piglets were housed in a nursery barn. This time, the researchers supplemented the young animals' diets for 14 days with L-glutamine at one of five feed concentrations: 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% or 1.0%, ARS said. Another group of piglets also received feed with antibiotics (chlortetracycline and tiamulin) but no supplemental L-glutamine, and a final group received a non-supplemented diet.
ARS highlighted the following results, which were published in Translational Animal Science:
- As with prior trials, pigs treated with L-glutamine performed similarly to those in the antibiotic group, and both of these groups fared better than piglets given non-supplemented feed.
- The study outcome indicated that the increased weight gain and other benefits of treating piglets with L-glutamine above the original 0.2% test can be as profitable as using dietary antibiotics.
- The optimal L-glutamine supplementation level for improving pig welfare and performance immediately after weaning and transport was 0.4%, while 0.8% appeared to offer the most long-term economic benefit.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has announced his resolve to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor made the position known on Thursday amid calls for him to dump the party over the lingering crisis.
Wike spoke during a meeting of PDP stakeholders in the state at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
“We will do the fight in the party. We are not like them, when in 2014 they walked out from Eagle Square. They’ve forgotten. They walked out and joined APC.
The Rivers helmsman said those who run away from fight are weak people and that he would not do so.
The governor noted that the constitution of the party clearly states that elective and party offices must be zoned.
“You have taken the presidential candidate, you have taken party chairman, you have also taken the DG of the campaign. We are talking about party politics.”
Wike said decisions are made by the presidential candidate, party chairman and the DG of the campaign.
“You can put pressure on the BoT chairman to resign when his tenure hasn’t come to an end. But you cannot put pressure on the chairman to resign”, he added.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — A small study could have far-reaching effects for pregnant women. It points toward autism forming in children, while they are still in the womb. Disorganized brain cells were discovered in tissue samples from brain regions important for regulating social functioning, emotions and communication, which can all be troublesome for children with autism.
Authors found the defects occurred during the second or third trimesters of pregnancy. About 1 in 88 children in the US have one of the autistic spectrum disorders.

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby expects summer transatlantic travel in 2022 to be at the highest level ever. To help meet that anticipated demand, United is adding 1o new transatlantic flights next year and will also commence previously-announced new routes delayed due to the pandemic.
10 New Transatlantic Routes For United Airlines Summer 2022 Season
In a move that United heralds as the “largest transatlantic expansion in its history,” United will add five new international destinations to its route map, including:
- Amman, Jordan
- Bergen, Norway
- Azores, Portugal
- Palma de Mallorca, Spain
- Tenerife, Spain
The move come as United reports a surge in interest in 2022 travel. Let’s explore each new route.
Washington (IAD) – Amman (AMM)
United will begin new capital to capital service between Washington, D.C. and Amman, Jordan starting May 5th. The service will run 3x weekly and be operated by a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
Patrick Quayle, Senior Vice President of International Network and Alliances at United, told Live and Let’s Fly that close-ties between the USA and Jordan as well as untapped tourism potential for the Hashemite Kingdom.
Newark (EWR) – Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal (PDL)
United will add services to the Azores, its third destination in Portugal, from Newark starting on May 13th. The flight will run daily.
This is a short flight, but United will operate a Boeing 737 MAX 8 on it, which will features its United Next interior with the latest mood lighting, high speed internet, and seatback enturinent, but will not have lie-flat beds in business class.
Newark (EWR) – Bergen, Norway (BGO)
United will offer 3x weekly service to Bergen, Norway, a gateway to the fjords. Service begins on May 20, 2022. For this route, United will utilize a Boeing 757-200.
I have family that lives in Bergen and never thought I would see a U.S. carrier service this city of 271,000. I am excited about the new route and would love to take my family to see the Sognefjord and other natural beauty in Norway. I hope that Norway will re-open its borders to foreign travelers by next May!
Newark (EWR) – Palma de Mallorca, Spain (PMI)
3x weekly flights to the Spanish island will be begin on June 2, 2021 utilizing a Boeing 767-300ER. The move complements United’s service to Barcelona and Madrid and marks the only carrier to offer transatlantic service between the USA and Mallorca.
This is a popular island…for Europeans. German is more readily spoken than Spanish and Lufthansa was running Airbus A350-900s and Boeing 747-8s between Germany and PMI this summer. United hopes, despite the greater distance, this island will attract U.S. visitors as well.
Newark (EWR) – Tenerife, Spain (TFN)
In addition to the Balearic Islands, United will commence service to the Canary Islands as well, with new 3x weekly service to Tenerife from Newark. United will use a Boeing 767-300ER on the new route.
I spent a week in August in the neighboring Las Palmas, which was reachable from Tenerife by boat. There’s a lot to like (though do watch out for the volcano in Gran Canaria).
Other New Routes To Existing Cities
In addition to the five brand new destinations, United will also add five additional new flights to cites already served from other hubs. Those include:
- Denver ⇄ Munich – daily
- Chicago ⇄ Milan Malpensa – daily
- Newark ⇄ Dublin – will go double daily
- Newark ⇄ Rome – will go double daily
- Washington ⇄ Berlin – daily
Aircraft type and schedule has not yet been released.
Finally, previously announced flights that were delayed due to the pandemic will run next year:
- Chicago ⇄ Zurich – daily, beginning April 23
- Newark ⇄ Nice – daily, beginning April 29
- Newark ⇄ Frankfurt – second daily beginning April 23
- San Francisco ⇄ Bangalore – daily, beginning May 26
- New Tokyo Haneda Routes – start by March 26th
- Los Angeles
These new routes demonstrate United’s continued shift toward leisure travel but also a bold move to try to create demand in 2022 where it might not currently exist. I was expecting more conventional destinations like LAX-MUC or IAD-ARN and instead Untied announced it will serve Jordan and two Spanish islands. But if United’s forecasts prove to be correct, it stands ready to capture additional market share through a number of innovate new routes.
What are your thoughts on Untied’s new transatlantic routes? Which route would you like to try?

As 2019 comes to a close, the Retail Design team at Campbell Rigg looks back at some of the trends that shaped fashion and grocery retail over the year and helped set some of the trends for the next decade.
It was a year when the grocery industry got to work solving some of the biggest issues holding it back, from changing shopper behaviour to e-commerce profitability.
The expansion of physical stores for digital pure-play brands. While digital brands like Bonobos and Fashion Nova started online, some digital brands have recently contacted us to help them launch brick-and-mortar retail outlets.
Retailers will find new ways of engaging with customers in a way that benefits sales across three broad themes: information, convenience, and entertainment.
They are finding that creating a sense of community can help brands set themselves apart and build stronger relationships with their customers. This, in turn, drives sales and loyalty.
The worlds of fashion and food merge into one-store experiences, and we are seeing the emergence of the style cafes in fashion stores.
Fashion brands are incorporating cafes into their spaces, or creating co-spaces from scratch in which both clothing and food can be purchased and enjoyed. These retail spaces offer the benefit of an experiential purchase journey in which consumers are able to slow down and better appreciate the products being offered. This benefits the brand by enhancing the likelihood of purchase.
Grocery stores became more of a destination. For example, in the more affluent areas, of the city, customers are allowed to relax at the bar while associates do the shopping. On the other hand, some retailers have scaled down their stores to cut costs and make quick trip convenience shopping easier for the consumer.
Other trends include alcohol delivery, the expansion of grocery pickup and in-store meal kits.
The âExperience Economy' may well be something more of a basic requirement in all retail stores of the future.
In 2020, stores will still exist, but their prime function will gravitate over time to customer experience.
Food trends are difficult to follow these days. Just like the hip fashion and tech sectors, the food industry is coming up with its own peculiar terms when describing market shifts.
One of the latest trends is the “grocerant,” a word combining “grocer” and “restaurant.” The term has been around for a few years, but it seems to have gone mainstream recently.
The term “grocerant” is also in fact quite relevant and accurately captures what is happening in the food industry these days. In short, a grocerant is a grocery store that sells in-store prepared meals, to either eat on-site or take home.
The two business models are currently merging in the freshly prepared ready-to-eat spaces in supermarkets and grocery stores. The concept caters to people seeking a meal solution away from home. It can also provide a meet and greet opportunity to enjoy the company of friends whilst eating something that has been freshly prepared from curated menu options. The design of these spaces provides an opportunity to shrink zones within the store by including the in-store a grocerant, offering high-quality ethnic food that is relevant to regional tastes. Increased footfall to the store, convenience, entertainment and increased loyalty to the brand. It has to be a win-win situation for the retailer.
Our internal process of renewal, allows us to continually benchmark and write about the best in class retail trends in many market sectors across the globe. Please take a moment to review other news items linked to this page.
Why not call us and talk about your retail brands or store design renewal programme, digital and social media requirements.
