The WWII Comet Escape Line & a GIVEAWAY
by Cindy Kay Stewart

During WWII, thousands of citizens in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the Basque region of Spain hid Allied soldiers and delivered them along various escape routes to British consulate officials stationed in Spain. From there, the men flew back to England so they could continue their fight to free Europe from the grip of the Nazis.
The Comet Line was established by the Belgians in August of 1941 and continued to operate until the end of 1944. The line ran from Brussels, through France, and across the Pyrenees to northern Spain (red line on map below). How did this line start, and who was behind its formation?

After Belgium surrendered to the Germans in 1940, Mademoiselle Andrée De Jongh, known as Dédée, cared for wounded British soldiers in Brussels. By 1941, she decided to find a way to help the many soldiers and airmen hidden in Brussels to escape back to England. Many were survivors from Dunkirk who hadn't been caught by the Germans.
Dédée and her father, known as "Paul," formed an escape line from Brussels to St. Jean de Luz in southwest France. In August of 1941, Dédée escorted a Scottish soldier and two Belgians who wanted to fight for the Allies to the British Consulate in Bilbao, Spain. At first the Consul didn't believe that the twenty-five-year-old young woman had crossed the Pyrenees on foot, but she convinced him otherwise. She offered to bring more soldiers but asked for financial support to feed and house them on the long trip from Brussels to Bilbao and to pay the Basque guides who would lead them over the mountains. The Consul petitioned the British Foreign Office to support Dédée's plan, and the Comet Line was born.

Meanwhile, back in Brussels, Dédée's father Paul began plans for collecting the Allied servicemen and young Belgians scattered across the country. He sought aid from likeminded friends - some gave money and others offered to house soldiers.
Early on, one of Dédée's guides and the servicemen he was escorting were arrested at the train station in Lille, France, and the Germans learned of Dédée's participation in the escape line. The Gestapo visited the De Jongh home and questioned Dédée's family at length on her whereabouts. After the Gestapo left without answers, Paul sent word through a trusted messenger that Dédée must not return to Belgium but run the line from France. He took over the Brussels operation.

Paul escorted the servicemen to the Brussels train station and handed them off to Charlie and Elvire Morelle, a brother-sister team, who guided them into France. Dédée met up with them just across the border and traveled with the men on a series of trains to Paris and then immediately on the overnight express to Bayonne in the far south of France.
The southern end of the Comet Line was run by the De Greef family. They had fled Belgium when the Germans invaded and then settled in an empty villa in the village of Anglet above the bay of St Jean de Luz, close to the Spanish border. Once recruited, the whole family worked tirelessly for the line. Elvire De Greef, known as "Tante Go," established a black-market enterprise, which provided good food for the escaping soldiers and their guides before making the arduous crossing of the Pyrenees. Tante Go bribed the Germans with her goods, and her black-market activities provided a good cover for her resistance efforts with the Comet Line.
An Allied soldier's fake identity card
Tante Go's husband, L'Oncle, obtained a job as interpreter at the German headquarters in Anglet. This gave him "access to special passes and certificats de domicil required for visitors to the forbidden zone established by the Germans along the Atlantic coast." L'Oncle was also responsible for billeting German troops in the area, which gave him access to other headquarters of German units. He stole official stamps and blank identity documents and forms in small enough quantities that the theft went unnoticed. These items were then sent to the branches of the escape line in Brussels and Paris.
Tante Go recruited helpers in Bayonne, Anglet, Biarritz, and St Jean de Luz and located those who were willing to provide safe houses for the parties before their crossing into Spain. She and her seventeen-year-old daughter, Janine, regularly bicycled to these locations. Tante Go also hired Basque guides to take the groups over the Pyrenees.
In the coming months, I will share many exciting stories as well as tragic events that took place on the Comet Line.

Having grown up around horticulturists – my grandfather Dr. Carl Campbell was a Professor Emeritus of Horticulture (tropical fruit crops) for the University of Florida (UF) – a strong passion for researching and consuming horticultural crops has always been inherent. A three-time UF gator, I received both my bachelor's and master's degrees from UF, studying food science with a focus on the sensory sciences. Currently I'm pursuing my PhD at the UF Mid-Florida Research and Education Center (MREC) researching medicinal and beverage crop production in the state of Florida, with an emphasis on butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea). Florida is normally associated with large scale citrus production, but the industry has been devastated by disease. The USDA reports that for 2016-2017 the state had a decline of 16, 28, and 17% in the previous season in orange, grapefruit, and total citrus production, respectively, due to the incursion of Huanglongbing (HLB) disease. Affected growers and producers are actively seeking replacement crops. Growers want crops with multiple economic values, one of which is an elevated concentration of important secondary metabolites that can be extracted, as is the case for the anthocyanin content of butterfly pea. An important forage legume in SE Asia, use of the fresh or dried flowers has become increasingly popular due to anthocyanin's unique ability to convert from deep blue to light purple instantaneously when exposed to a mild acid such as lemon or lime juice. As a function of our extension appointment, research is currently being conducted to assist growers as they transition to these new crops, primarily through development of improved cultivation practices. In one example, our results instruct growers how to use a Konica Minolta SPAD-502Plus hand-held meter to non-destructively estimate leaf chlorophyll concentrations. Using a known SPAD index-value, producers can determine the relative leaf chlorophyll content of their plants with 99.89% accuracy. This can then be correlated to overall plant growth and function. By developing techniques like these, we're able to directly assist growers and producers in our area, saving them valuable time and resources while diversifying the horticultural portfolio of the state of Florida.
Sean Campbell won an ISHS Young Minds Award for the best oral presentation at the II International Symposium on Beverage Crops in China in October 2018.

Der Krummbachstein ist ein  hoher Berg in Niederösterreich. Er gehört zur Rax-Schneeberg-Gruppe und ist die höchste Erhebung des Gahns; er ist nur durch den Krummbachsattel vom Schneeberg getrennt. Vom Krummbachstein eröffnet sich ein schöner Ausblick auf den Schneeberg sowie ins Höllental.

150 Meter östlich des Gipfelkreuzes liegt die 1909 errichtete und nur sehr einfach bewirtschaftete Alpenfreundehütte (). Der Nebengipfel ca. 500 m östlich des Gipfelkreuzes ist nur unwesentlich niedriger als der Hauptgipfel.

An der Südseite des Krummbachsteins liegt das Naturfreundehaus Knofeleben, von dem der Gipfel in weniger als einer Stunde über den sogenannten Schiblsteig (grüne Markierung) erreichbar ist. Für den letzten Teil des Weges stehen zwei Varianten zur Verfügung, ein Waldweg zur Alpenfreundehütte (unschwierig) und der direkte Gipfelanstieg (Felsen, Schwierigkeitsgrad I−). Der Berg ist über Wanderwege auch vom Alpleck im Osten (gelbe Markierung) und vom Krummbachsattel im Norden erschlossen.

Support for The Alice Austen House & Documents from the American Housing Crisis
Foreclosure Alley by Guillaume Zuili – Vu
The Alice Austen House, a fantastic and under-acknowledged resource for photography in New York City, is an exhibition space and museum dedicated to the ground-breaking, absolutely independent and unique photographer Alice Austen (1866-1952). One of America's earliest and most prolific female photographers, Alice Austen broke away from the constraints of the Victorian era to create her own independent life.
Help the Alice Austen House take some much needed steps toward its own preservation and restoration via the 2012 New York initiative Partners in Preservation. All you need to do is go to http://www.PartnersinPreservation.com and VOTE – a vote for this site will help direct national funding to keep the Alice Austen House vital and able to continue its programming of exhibitions and education in a beautiful, unique historic space. Voting ends tonight, 11:59PM EST on Monday, May 21.
Through June 14, 2012 the Alice Austen House Museum is pleased to present Foreclosed: Documents from the American Housing Crisis. The exhibition includes works by: Bruce Gilden, Lauren Greenfield, Todd Hido, Imara Moore, John Moore, John Francis Peters, T.J. Proechel, Brian Shumway, Brian Ulrich and Guillaume Zuili, examining how artists are using photography to record the aftermath of the housing bubble; from its' beginning in 2006 to the dramatic effects it still has on the American Landscape today. The artists and photographers in the exhibition depict the ruins of rich and poor neighborhoods, as well as the families affected by the economic downturn. As a result, the exhibition aims to explore the disintegration of the American dream and how it effects a culture where home ownership is no longer a reality.

apertureWEEK: Online Photography Reading Shortlist
Aperture aggregates the best posts from this past week in the photography blogosphere.
Time's Lightbox profiles 'Act': Meditations on the Disabled Body by Denis Darzacq, a two-year project of photographing "people who have had trouble finding a place in society from the beginning of their lives," he says. The Paris-based photographer known for his high-energy images and dynamic subjects will be giving an artist talk at Aperture this Monday, April 16, 2012 at 6:30 pm, FREE.
Kathy Ryan, editor of The New York Times Magazine Photographs, shares the fascinating backstory of a photograph of Mohammad Ali with his future wife Lonnie that ran in the Sunday Magazine, taken at "the moment Cassius and I met," Lonnie wrote in an email to the photographer, Steve Schapiro.
The New Yorker's photo department shares a collection of reader-submitted, "Hand-Picked Instagrams," (as Wall Street Journal did last week, and more publications probably will in the future) alongside a thought-provoking essay by Ian Crouch, "Instagram's Instant Nostalgia." This, in the same week New York Times' Bits Blog reports Facebook will buy Instagram for $1 billion.
The British Journal of Photography reports on a controversial ad campaign for photographers' rights launched by the French organization Union des Photographes Professionnels – Auteurs. In related news this week, the American Society of Media Photographers has filed a class action lawsuit against Google, PetaPixel reports, for "scanning, indexing, and storing copyright work without permission of the copyright holders" for their ambitions Google Books project.
DIY gallerists take note: Phototuts+ shares "An Expert Guide to Matting and Framing a Photo," which should be useful after you've watched their video lecture on Ansel Adams–delivered by Allan Ross who was Adams' darkroom assistant for many years–and printed a bunch of restrained, expertly metered black-and-white landscape photographs of your own.
American Suburb X shares a number of Nan Goldin readings this week, including an essay by Nan on actress and close friend Cookie Mueller who died of AIDS in 1989, as well as a fascinating in-depth paper by Mihaela Precup, "The Wound Which Speaks of Unremembered Time: Nan Goldin's Cookie Portfolio and the Autobiographics of Mourning." All great reads; our only quibble is: where did they come from? [UPDATE: ASX has appended the source of one of the pieces, created originally by Dirck Halstead at the once-pioneering web journal digitaljournalist.org]
The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation announce their 2012 Fellowships in photography, PDN Pulse reports. Ten photographers, including Doug Dubois of the monograph All the Days and Nights, and John Gossage, whose exhibition The Pond and a Little Romance opens today in Chicago, join the ranks of past recipients Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Robert Adams, Richard Mosse, Brian Ulrich, and Penelope Umbrico.

Penelope Umbrico and Brian Ulrich in Conversation
Penelope Umbrico on her piece For Sale/TVs From Craigslist at Aperture (May, 2009).
Consumer culture can be an ugly reality to face. Despite what might seem to be an oxymoronic concept, the contemporary sense of self is increasingly predicated on possessive individualism, a self-definition by way of consumption, or more simply put, the thought: 'I am what I buy.' Not only has shopping long become a pastime, so too has the proclamation of these purchases across social media.
This consumer culture is what we the audience are confronted with in the work of Penelope Umbrico and Brian Ulrich. On Tuesday, April 17, 2012, two of the most exciting photographers working today, come together for a conversation about how their use of images address this facet of our society. The event will take place at Julie Saul Gallery, where Ulrich currently has his exhibition Is This Place Great or What: Artifacts and Photographs on view through May 5, 2012.
Umbrico's work over the past few decades offers a radical doubletake on the consumer and vernacular images with which we are bombarded. She aggregates photographs that follow a kind of "script," compiling thousands of somehow related images found on social media websites like Craigslist and Flickr. Some are selling used products, others are sharing personal but generic vacation moments. All, however, have hints of privacy or intimacy in them. As she explains in the clip above, the used TVs people sell on Craigslist often bear reflections of themselves or their apartments. Her most recognized work Suns From Flickr, which made the cover of her conceptual first monograph from Aperture in Fall, 2011 Penelope Umbrico (photographs), is made up of thousands of found snapshots, generic vacation photos tagged with term "sunset," cropped down to sun alone, sometimes 5% of the original photograph, and installed on a mural-sized grid. The monumental result is meant to explore "what [these images] can tell us about our relationship to photography, technology and each other."
Ulrich's work on view at Julie Saul is part of a decade-long exploration of the American consumer landscape for a series called Copia. The project, he explains for Time's Lightbox, is something he embarked on as a response to the president's call for the nation to bolster the economy in the wake of the 9/11 attacks by way of shopping. The series, comprised in three parts tracking the degradation of this consumer cycle–"Retail," "Thrift," and "Dark Stores,"–was also published by Aperture in Fall, 2011 as Ulrich's first monograph, Is This Place Great or What.
Gurnee, IL (2003); from the series Retail (c) Brian Ulrich/Aperture Foundation
"Retail" features often vibrant candy-colored, mostly medium-format images taken in big box stores. He captured candid moments with the help of a waist-high viewfinder. The nameless shoppers within his frame carry hollow expressions that convey a kind of alienated stupor during the precise moment, Ulrich says, "the Germans call Konsumieren Rausch or Consumer Intoxication." "Thrift" features more cluttered images of consignment stores and second-hand shops where the original goods are discarded, while "Dark Stores," features images of derelict, hollowed out, abandoned malls and shopping centers across the country that have shut their doors.

Artifacts, Photographs and Ulrich @ Julie Saul Gallery
Fast Food, 2009 by Brian Ulrich
Brian Ulrich's photographic investigation of the American consumer psyche has for the past decade examined the complex relationships consumers form with the industries that seek their consumption (Copia, 2002-2006), the trickle-down movement of consumer goods (Thrift, 2005-2007), and the end remains of dead malls and big box stores, stripped of product and identity (Dark Stores, 2008-2011).
Ulrich's upcoming exhibition at Julie Saul Gallery looks at this decade-spanning body of work, juxtaposing photographs with artifacts from the past (a vintage sign in florescent italics announcing Fast Food), objects culled from an expansive archive, amassed by the photographer in simultaneity with the development of his images.
Is This Place Great Or What: Artifacts and Photographs opens Thursday, March 22nd at Julie Saul Gallery, New York City.
This exhibition coincides with Ulrich's first published monograph, Is This Place Great or What, published by Aperture Foundation, with an essay by Juliet B. Schorr and 95 plates ($35, available here).
Also consider Ulrich's limited-edition, "Chicago, Illinois, 2005," from the series Thrift ($600, available here).

TIME's Best Photojournalism of 2011
Sometimes words just aren't enough. We realize that's a bold statement for a news magazine to make. After all, words are our currency. Yet we know that there are times when, to fully tell the stories that need to be shared, we need more than words.
This year it was as evident as ever. From the tsunami in Japan, to the war in Afghanistan, to the Arab Spring, our reporters, columnists and correspondents worked tirelessly to bring you the stories that matter. But beyond the words and interviews that filled our pages, our photojournalists sought out the pictures that told a deeper story. Whether they were behind the political scene like Diana Walker as she photographed Hillary Clinton aboard a military plane or risking life and limb like Yuri Kozyrev as he captured the conflict of Libya's revolution, TIME's dedicated photographers brought the stories to life.
In March, acclaimed TIME contract photographer James Nachtwey traveled to Japan to capture images in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami. A veteran photojournalist, even he found himself at a loss for words when trying to describe the country's devastation. Yet in his hauntingly bleak images of ravaged towns and wounded families, we glimpsed what language failed to convey — and it was heart breaking.
TIME's words offer the important facts, clear-eyed insights and sharp analysis needed to understand the story. Our photojournalism offers the chance to not only see, but also feel the story. —Megan Gibson

Have you ever looked at the scale and didn't like those numbers staring back at you? Girl, same! I'm at this point in my life where I can't just eat whatever I want, whenever I want and not face the consequences. I've never been that girl that works out all the time and I've never been all that athletic. As I'm getting older though, I'm realizing that fitting fitness in my day to day life is a must!
HOW THOUGH? The struggle is real because I'm a busy mom. From juggling the full-time work life to running my own business to family life and trying to have a personal life of my own…it can all get overwhelming. Fitness where? Who has time for that? Well, YOU DO if you plan it out. You can totally get some weekly fitness goals in no matter how busy of a mom or person you are. Trust me! I'm doing it right now. Just keep it simple. Let me give you a little fitness motivation!
I promise you this will make your fitness life so much easier! Figure out what you can accomplish in a week. Start off small so you don't get overwhelmed. This will take some trial and error until you get it right. Currently, my fitness goals for the week is to get 10,000 steps 5 times a week and to work out at least 3 times a week.
When I figured out what my fitness goals were, I basically mapped out my day to help me reach those goals. For example, I try to make sure I already have 1,000+ steps before I leave the house every morning. I also try to choose days where I know I'm not going to be as busy to get a home workout in. I usually don't try to make Mondays a workout day because I know I'll be getting home later because baby girl has ballet practice.
Find someone to be there for you and cheer you on! If you have someone working out with you, it makes working out more enjoyable. Sometimes people can be flaky though right? What really holds me accountable is my Fitbit Charge 2! It reminds me to walk every hour, tells me how close I am to my goals, challenges me, and more!
I love my Fitbit because it's basically my accountability partner and I don't have to worry about it flaking on me unless I forget to charge it! I also try to share that I've reached my goal for the day on our @MeetTheChambers Instagram stories to also hold me accountable and give others some fitness motivation. So if you don't have a fitness tracker you should definitely think about getting one. It's super helpful. Add me as a friend on Fitbit by clicking HERE.
Don't like hitting the gym, don't have time to, or don't want to pay that monthly gym membership fee? No worries, just workout at home! I enjoy working out at home because it's convenient for me. Start with an easy exercise at home. My favorite way to workout at home is by using YouTube workout videos. The workout YouTube channels that I like the most is Superhero Fitness TV and POPSUGAR Fitness.
PopSugar Fitness has all kinds of workouts from boxing to dance. They actually have a new dance fitness series they just created that I'll be trying soon called Dance FitSugar. I like that they have such a variety from beginner to advanced. I definitely recommend this channel if you're looking for all kinds of workouts to do at home.
Ever heard of Tabata training? I like Tabata workouts because you give an exercise move all you've got for 20 seconds and then you rest for 10 seconds for a total of 4 rounds. It's a really good workout! I found out about Hip Hop Tabata workouts from PopSugar and Keaira LaShae of Superhero Fitness TV was leading it. Keairra LaShae is so bomb! Her workouts are fun because it's basically a hip hop dance workout so you really don't even feel like you're working out. If you like to dance around you'll love her workouts. She also has some other workouts that don't involve dancing and the workouts have simple exercises to do at home.
Walking while I'm at work really helps me meet my fitness goals. Sometimes I may just have way too many things to do after work so getting the majority if not all of my steps in while at work is awesome. How can you get some exercise in at work? It's quite simple. Do some things differently. Be intentional. Park at the back of the parking lot instead of trying to find a close parking space at the front. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk during your 15-minute breaks. Walk during half of your lunch break.
I can usually get 10,000 steps or close to it before coming home from work. Walking while at work is a must for me. It helps me reach my fitness goals with ease. Get up from that desk and walk every hour if you can. Walk with a co-worker and chit chat instead of chatting it up in the breakroom. Challenge your co-worker and see who can get the most steps for the week. It will help you stay on track and you'll get used to walking more. You can do it!
Feeling like you can't get a workout in because of your kids? Let your kids join in on the workout fun! My baby girl WANTS to workout with me. When she sees me doing a YouTube workout or jogging in place she joins in. She'll copy what I'm doing and she thinks it's so fun. Try it!
Another thing you can do is put on some Kids Bop, the radio, or someone they are crazy about like Jojo Siwa and dance! Baby girl loves to dance and it'll keep her busy and wear her out! Working out together will benefit you and your child. You're spending quality time together, he's not stopping you from working out, and he's getting fit like mommy. Win-win!
See, busy mom workouts are possible! Now, excuse me while I go get some more steps in! Good luck on your fitness journey!


Between gravy, casseroles and grandma's apple pie, you could end up eating two days' worth of calories in a single sitting on Thanksgiving. But that's no reason not to splurge a little on the one day of the year that's all about eating. After all, who wants to spend a holiday counting calories? Instead, why not use the five days before the feast to ramp up your routine, so you can feel free to relax, spend time with friends and family and enjoy a few of your favorite fall treats (like these). Here's how to detox the right way — so you can enjoy your holiday, no regrets.
Let's make one thing clear: There's no juicing on this plan. Instead, making small tweaks to cut calories over the next five days can essentially help you "save up" for Thanksgiving, says Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Spokesperson Jim White, RDN, ACSM-HFS. Cutting 500 calories each day, which is what's often recommended for safe weight loss, would make a huge dent in your holiday meal, he says. That may seem hard to do, but consider this: A grande latte from Starbucks (made with whole milk) will run you 220 calories, and a pumpkin spice latte of the same size, without whipped cream, clocks in at 350 calories. It can be as easy as knocking a few of those extras off your daily menu.
Flexing your culinary muscles (perhaps with one of these healthy chili recipes) for the rest of the week is another way to slash calories while cleaning up your diet, says White. A recent study found that people consume an average of 200 more calories on days they eat out compared to days they cook at home. And people who prepare most of their meals at home consume fewer carbohydrates, less sugar and less fat than people who cook less often or not at all, research finds. Plus, you'll save some cash for day-after Thanksgiving sales.
Loading up on fruits, vegetables and lean protein in the meals leading up to Thanksgiving will not only give you a nutrient boost, but will keep you full longer, helping to ward off cravings, says Minno. (Here's what 25 grams of protein looks like.) And filling up on a hearty breakfast of protein n' greens for breakfast on Thanksgiving Day will help you make more mindful food choices (think: one of these awesome smoothies). "You don't want to go into Thanksgiving starving; then you're going to eat everything in sight," she says.

EWU President Cullinan steps down
Abrupt announcement came this morning, Aug. 4
Dr. Mary Cullinan
CHENEY — Eastern Washington University President Mary Cullinan has announced she is retiring from her position, effective immediately. The university's Board of Trustees has named Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs David May to serve as interim president.
The announcement came at a virtual board of trustees meeting this morning, Aug. 4.
"I have been honored to serve as Eastern Washington University's first female president," Cullinan said in a news release. "EWU is a valuable asset to this region with exceptional students, faculty and staff, alumni and community supporters. I look forward to working with the leadership team to ensure EWU continues on the road to success during these challenging times."
May has been given a two-year contract by the trustees to serve as interim president. Cullinan will remain with the university for the next six weeks to assist the university in its transition in leadership.
Cullinan has been embattled for the past several months in her role as president. Members of the faculty and staff have questioned her leadership capabilities and alleged lack of vision for the university.
In a faculty evaluation in February, Cullinan received a 70 percent overall rating of "poor or needs improvement" and faced allegations of poor communication practices and financial mismanagement. On June 22, she was the recipient of an overwhelming vote of no confidence by the Faculty Organization Senate.
Faculty Organization President Julia Smith praised the selection of May for the interim role, while also thanking Cullinan for her six years of service to the university.
"I personally, and I think the faculty have never doubted her sincerity to the university and her devotion to the good of the university," Smith said in an interview Tuesday morning. "She is someone who has shown me a lot of leadership."
Cullinan was the university's first female president, and 26th president overall. May served as EWU vice provost beginning in 2017, becoming interim Provost in 2019 before being moved into the role permanently this past March.
Dr. David May
In elevating May to interim president, the trustees said continuity of leadership is important as EWU faces some long-term and short-term challenges. May has led the university's reorganization efforts, converting seven existing colleges into four, along with efforts to ensure student success and safety during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
"David May's vision and leadership during this historical stretch gives the board the utmost confidence he will keep the university on the path to success," BOT Chair Vicki Wilson said in a statement.
Faculty Organization President Smith said she has confidence in May's leadership abilities, but noted a change at the top doesn't change the challenges EWU is facing.
"I think he (May) is a wonderful guy who has done a lot of things for the university and is dedicated to the university," Smith said. "It doesn't change the challenges we face, but we have great hope for a stronger vision."

New York Economic Dev. Non-Profit NYCEDC Opens Blockchain Center
The New York City Economic Development Corporation has announced the opening of a Blockchain Center in the city.
New York's economic development non-profit opens a blockchain education and development center in the city
The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) has announced that it is opening its Blockchain Center in Manhattan, Bloomberg reports today, Jan. 10.
The organization told reporters that the center is part of a partnership with international trade organization Global Blockchain Business Council and affiliates of New York-based venture capital fund Future Perfect Ventures.
Located in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, the 4,000-square-foot center will reportedly offer blockchain-oriented educational services to the general public, such as programming classes to lectures for software developers.
Ana Arino, chief strategy officer at the NYCEDC, told Bloomberg in a phone interview that the organization is "playing the long game" in terms of the potential of blockchain tech, and looking to keep New York at the forefront of future development. Arino stated:
"[Blockchain is] a nascent technology, so there's bound to be uncertainty around this evolution from year to year. While we don't know what the future holds, we want to make sure we have a seat at the table shaping it."
The city is reportedly contributing a "one-time initial investment of $100,000." Bloomberg reports that the organization will seek to raise further funds via membership fees and through corporate partners, which already reportedly include Microsoft Corp. and International Business Machines Corp.
According to Bloomberg, the city has tentative plans to test the use of blockchain tech this fall.
The NYCEDC's president and CEO first announced plans to open a blockchain-focused resource and education center in the city in May.
This month, a New York state legislature assemblyman announced that New York had become the first United States state to create a cryptocurrency task force aimed at studying the regulation, use and definition of digital currency.

Savannah of Savvie Studio is an artist and maker who is based out of Denton, Texas. She fell in love with the process of laser cutting while attending the University of North Texas for Visual Art Studies. During her senior year of college, she took a leap of faith and invested in her first laser cutter. She sold off her bedroom furniture to make room and turned her small apartment bedroom into a full blown laser cutting studio. Every spare second between classes and work was spent experimenting, creating and dreaming of what Savvie Studio could be.
Savvie Studio has greatly evolved since the early days of laser cutting, however she still designs, laser cuts and assembles all of her products in her home studio. Every step from idea to final packaging happens there as well. In a world of mass produced goods, Savannah finds great joy in making the artist's hand evident in every piece; and find hope in the community that handmade goods create.
Through her studio, Savannah aims to celebrate life, nature, and the spaces that we share with those we love. She aims to create goods that spread happiness and boost confidence through modern, energy-filled designs.
