Daleman and art are inseparable. As leading frame-makers for years, skilfully framing all types of paintings, our knowledge of art has grown enormously. We are frequently in contact with artists and art lovers, where a lot of knowledge and experience is shared. In addition, topics such as the type of paint, the choice of the canvas and the frame regularly come up Daleman is now also specialized in the restoration and cleaning of paintings.
This is not only due to the qualities described above, but also to our intense interest in art and our interest in the artist and his/her inspirations. Meanwhile, Daleman manages a large art collection for both sales and art lending. Various artists exhibit in the store and there is also the initiative to create this web store. In this way, our knowledge and experience with regard to art and artists is not only limited to the people around the two stores, but everyone in the Netherlands can benefit from the wide range and expertise of Daleman. In addition to this comprehensive website, everyone is welcome in both shops for advice, to view the artworks and of course to order.
Important tip: If you want to view a particular work of art, please contact us first to determine in which of the two stores it is located.
You can expect us to update our collection regularly. We do this in order to fill the vacancies that occur due to sales or rental with new artworks. However, we are also expanding the collection further. We do this partly by purchasing new artworks and partly by presenting on this website works of art that are still in the possession of the artist. In all cases you will also find all relevant information, such as the name of the artist, the price range and the size.

Pac-Man is heading to Ableton's Max for Live
But it's not the game we all know and love...
Andrew Rafter
Thursday, June 15, 2017 - 19:01
A version of Pac-Man is heading to Ableton Live's Max for Live, which has been developed by Isotonik Studios.
Now, it's not the game that we all know and love but instead a specially designed tool that takes cues from the original game and allows Ableton users to control variables like note velocity and length.
The new tool — which has been teased on Facebook (below) — is part of Isotonik Studios' Arcade series which reimagines classic 8-bit games — like Asteroid, Tetris and Pong — as sequencers and other music production tools.
There's no release date for the Pac-Man tool yet, but you can see the company's Asteroids sequencer in action below.

Rebel Gets Postseason Honor
A postseason honor for an Ole Miss Rebel. Tight end Evan Engram is the 21st recipient of the C Spire Conerly Trophy. It goes each year to the most outstanding college football player in Mississippi. Engram finished his career at Ole Miss with the most receptions, receiving yards and touchdown receptions by a tight end in school history.
Supreme Court Runoff Winner
A Circuit Judge who has served Tallahatchie, Panola and Yalobusha counties is now a member of the Mississippi Supreme Court. Bobby Chamberlin of Hernando won a runoff Tuesday in the northern district, defeating Columbus attorney John Brady. Chamberlin begins an eight-year term in January.
Tornadoes Touch Down
The damage is still being tallied after at least six tornadoes touched down in central Mississippi. The impact from Tuesday's storms was felt in seven counties, but there are no immediate reports of injuries. Forecasters are predicting more rain by this weekend.
Holiday Travel Toll
The final figures are in for Mississippi's holiday travel injuries and fatalities. The Highway Patrol says two people died and 67 were hurt during Thanksgiving weekend. There were more than five-thousand traffic citations, including 67 for DUI. The deadly crashes took place in Leflore and Wayne counties.
MHP Stretched Thin
The Mississippi Highway Patrol is being stretched thin because it can't hold on to troopers. The "Clarion Ledger" says the patrol had a hard time increasing its visibility during the Thanksgiving holiday. Last year, it had 48 cadets who became troopers, but it lost 66 troopers. Some are leaving for higher paying jobs with the feds or the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Runoff Voting Tuesday
Folks in North Mississippi have some more voting to do. There's a runoff tomorrow for state Supreme Court District Three, Place One, between John Brady and Bobby Chamberlin. District Three is made up of 33 counties, including Calhoun, Carroll, Grenada, Lafayette, Leflore, Montgomery, Panola, Tallahatchie, Webster and Yalobusha. In Grenada, there's a runoff for District Five Election Commissioner between Celina Hayward and Jeannie Todd.
MS Drivers 17th Worst
If you're returning home after that Thanksgiving road trip, be sure to buckle up. A new survey finds Mississippi has some of the worst drivers in the U.S. "Car Insurance Comparison dot com" reports that Mississippi is 17th overall, coming in fourth for fatalities and 12th for careless driving.
MS Baseball Legend Dead
Mississippi baseball legend Boo Ferriss is dead at the age of 94. He passed away at his home in Cleveland surrounded by family. Ferris helped lead the Boston Red Sox to the World Series in 1946 before suffering a career ending shoulder injury.
MS #17 in student debt
Mississippi students are in the top 20 in the nation when it comes to the most college debt. The financial website 24/7 Wall Street looked at data from the website Student Loan Report to rank Mississippi 17th. Students in Mississippi have an average undergraduate debt of nearly 18-thousand-dollars.
Batesville Thanksgiving Dinner Free
Folks in Batesville who can't afford a Thanksgiving dinner or have no one with whom to celebrate Thanksgiving are not left out. Volunteers will be serving up holiday meals at the Batesville National Guard Armory on Keating Road from 10 AM to 1 PM. Anyone who needs a ride to the armory or to have a meal delivered, can call 609-3846.

Turoa (or Tūroa) is a skifield on the south western side of Mount Ruapehu, the highest mountain in the North Island of New Zealand, in Tongariro National Park. The area has been used for skiing since before the completion of the Mountain Road, but the first lifts opened in 1978.

There are two beginner areas, and many intermediate and advanced trails. The upper field is a mix of natural pipes, steep drops, fast plains, and easier slopes, along with several terrain parks. The lower field contains the field's single narrow beginner trail, Clarry's Track, and a few other intermediate trails. They also serve as access to the base area from the upper mountain, and are often crowded. The field is  and has a  vertical drop.

The skifield is reached via the Mountain Road from the town of Ohakune. The Mountain Road was built by locals from Ohakune, mostly during weekends after they formed the Mountain Road Association in 1952. Their aim was to open Ruapehu's southern slopes for skiing, partly as a replacement industry for the decline in logging which had sustained the town for the previous decades. The now renamed Ministry of Works helped with the road on one occasion by 'misplacing' a culvert destined for another roading project. The 17 kilometre road was opened in 1963. It winds up through spectacular native forest before breaking out above the tree line and finishes at a complex of carparks below the bottom chairlift.

Turoa has been owned by Ruapehu Alpine Lifts since 2000, which also owns the nearby Whakapapa skifield, also on Mt. Ruapehu. It is possible to traverse from one field to the other. The two are operated together, with a combined lift ticket for both fields. Together, they are considered to be the largest ski resort in New Zealand and possibly the southern hemisphere.

On a good day it is possible to hike to the top of the mountain with skis or snowboard in hand, view the Crater Lake, and then ski back down to the field, or to Whakapapa. Also on a clear day Mount Taranaki can be seen.

In 1995, skiers were evacuated from the skifield when a small volcanic eruption occurred at the crater lake, ejecting rocks, ash and steam.

In 2007, a high speed six-seater chairlift, the High Noon Express was installed, replacing an existing T-bar to the top of the mountain.  The lift had several faults after being installed, such as cable derailments.  In winter of 2010, two pylons on the lift collapsed, and the lift was redesigned with 15 new shorter pylons instead of 10 higher pylons in the original design and was open 2011 season.  The redesign required relocating an older fixed grip quad chair which previously passed under the lift.

Voluntary administration
In 2022 following a poor snow season attributed largely to climate change, Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, the parent company of both Whakapapa  and Turoa skifields, entered voluntary administration in an attempt to avoid bankruptcy.  The company is a not-for-profit business that was established by members of ski clubs in 1953. In August 2022, Ruapehu Alpine Lifts laid off 130 workers  and its total debt climbed to over NZ$30 million. The financial situation of Ruapehu Alpine Lifts deteriorated rapidly following disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts to secure additional funds from investors or the New Zealand government initially failed.

However, in December 2022, the government provided a $6 million loan to Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, to help ensure that both Ruapehu skifields could operate in winter 2023. This was in addition to $15 million provided in 2018 from the Provincial Growth Fund.

Lifts
There are three proposed ski lifts at Turoa, which are due to be complete before 2030. A new Quad express set to be positioned west of the high noon express, to give better access to where the old Jumbo T-Bar used to operate near. The existing Giant fixed grip chairlift is set to be replaced by a new detachable quad express.  A gondola is planned to be constructed on Turoa, replacing both the Parklane and Movenpick chairs, starting at the base area and terminating at the location of the top station of the Movenpick chair with a mid station allowing for access to the Wintergarden beginners area.

The lifts are capable of taking up to 11,300 people per hour on a busy day, the second most of any ski area in New Zealand, behind Whakapapa. A new high speed six-seater chairlift was added for the winter of 2007, replacing an existing t-bar to the top of the mountain.

Renew Your Vows #4: MJ plays feminism card so Peter will endanger child
Written by Douglas ErnstPosted on February 9, 2017 18 Comments
Gerry Conway's fourth issue of The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows came out this week, which means that Peter Parker fans are treated once again to a light-hearted and fun read devoid of Slottian baggage. The writer's "All In The Family" tale wraps up with the Parkers defeating Mole Man, but it doesn't come without a few creative red flags for the future.
Ask yourself this question: Is it sexist for Peter Parker to want his young daughter as far away from megalomanic super-villains as possible? This version of Mary Jane thinks so, and for some bizarre reason the hero backs down without much of a fight.
Check out my latest YouTube review for a better explanation of why RYV appears to be taking a problematic stance towards the family's superhero dynamic. As always, let me know what you think in the comments section below — and be sure to subscribe if you enjoy the video format.

Magnetic Eye says:
I've gotta admit RYV is definitely a fun read. Conway has a familiarity with these characters that certainly gives the book far more authenticity than Slott's ASM.
I guess I've accepted that in this alternate universe, there are things Conway is going to push more than if he were scripting a more grounded in reality version of Spider-Man.
I for one am enjoying the ride, but I still yearn for a mature adult Spider-Man to return to his roots, perhaps through the restoration of ASM after the removal Slott.
The Spider-Incredibles is fun for sure, but I'm really hoping Marvel will restore Amazing Spider-Man to showcasing his individual uniqueness, competence, formidability, resourcefulness, maturity and independence.
Man, I miss the JMS style of writing.
Douglas Ernst says:
I totally agree, Magnetic Eye. In many ways, we're still getting a shadow the real Peter Parker. It's fun, but it's not the ASM Peter Parker that is waiting to some writer to let him shine.
I think that may have been the last time on ASM that I felt someone actually got the character.
Update: Thank you for the kind words over at ComicVine, Magnetic Eye. I really appreciate it. I find it interesting that certain individuals like to talk a lot of crap over at other websites, but they won't say it directly to me on my blog. If they don't like my work being shared on ComicVine, then they don't need to click it. It's as easy as that. But for some reason they go out of their way to ask that it not be made available. Interesting…
No worries Doug, you're more than welcome. I think even if people disagree with each other's opinions, a common ground can always be found. We can still be humble and civil in disagreements. We all love the Spider-Man mythos and we all want to read good stories.
I can always count on you to keep up the good work. Your articles are interesting and informative.
🕷
The thing that is incredibly bizarre to me is that unless I just give some sort of blanket "awesome!" review to [insert person's pet title here], there are a lot of people who interpret it as "this is horrible!" It's like they're incapable of nuance. I can say that I enjoy a book like RYV, but if I point out a couple of things that irk me then suddenly I'm being negative.
Thanks, man. And like I said, I appreciate it that you actually speak to me directly when you have questions instead of just lobbing insults from afar. At this point in time I would think it would be obvious that the guy who writes on national defense issues, politics, faith, religion, movies, and comics … would also bring those issues into his comic book reviews as a possible segue into deeper discussions. I guess not! 😉
Carnage 707 says:
This really could have been a great moment for Peter to plant his feet on the ground and really give something for M.J. and Annie to think about. It's obvious that this will be a thing going forward with Peter reluctant to have Annie come along in certain scenarios, so this would have been a good chance for Peter to make his position clear to her on the matter.
When M.J. says that "Only Peter is allowed risk his life, and the rest of us should just stay home?" Peter should have calmly looked her in the eyes and said:
"I have been risking my life since I was 15 years old, I have done it because I have this great power, and it is my responsibility to do the right thing with it. But I also started with inexperience, and with that came mistakes. With mistakes, people die. The people we love can die. You two also have great power, but you need to use it responsibly and don't throw it away with risks. I don't want you two to make the same mistakes I did. And speaking from experience, this is too dangerous for her to come. Trust me. M.J."
Maybe she would have listened, maybe she wouldn't have, and I'm sure Annie still would have gone off on her own anyway, but at least Peter doesn't look like a pushover and states his reason as to why he feels the way he does.
'I have been risking my life since I was 15 years old, I have done it because I have this great power, and it is my responsibility to do the right thing with it. But I also started with inexperience, and with that came mistakes. With mistakes, people die. The people we love can die. You two also have great power, but you need to use it responsibly and don't throw it away with risks. I don't want you two to make the same mistakes I did. And speaking from experience, this is too dangerous for her to come. Trust me. M.J.'"
Ah, Carnage. I can always count on you to be a voice of reason and a sea of….
Why do you get it and so many others don't? It's baffling that so many people say they are fans of Peter Parker, and yet they cannot see something that right in front of their faces. It's like a giant hand that's slapping them and yet they're like, "Do you feel something? I feel like something is trying to get my attention, but maybe I'm just hallucinating."
Chuck Haynes says:
Or maybe:
"Yes. Shut up and go home."
"…and make me a sandwich"
"…I'm only kidding about the sandwich part…though I won't turn it down"
Is there a hero like this even left in the Marvel Universe?
WebLurker says:
General thoughts: Liked it overall, although it felt a little rushed. Maybe another issue would've helped (like having issue 4 focus on the Parkers working out the disagreement and resolving it and then have issue five be them carrying out a plan to save the day)? Agree that the art is good. As a warmup story, I think it worked fine.
As for the feminist thing, I think I'm going to say "nay," at least from MJ's perspective. My case is as follows:
A.) When reading the conversation, the fact that MJ and Annie are female doesn't seem to be a factor; the issue is revolving around them being immediate family members. For example, I don't think the argument would change if Peter and MJ had a son instead of a daughter.
B.) The rhetorical question if MJ and Annie should be waiting at home instead seems to stem from the fact that it's one of the few alternatives to them all working together in the field. What else would she say? Also, while I've gathered that 616 comics have done some exploring what it means for MJ to be at home and the baggage that would come with, I do know that the Ultimate comics showed that it was very hard on Ultimate MJ knowing that her significant other was out there risking his neck and her not knowing if he'd come back okay or not. So, there is a precedent that she might want to be more active in this part of her husband's life and that she would have negative feelings towards that specific role. (I guess I'd also take that as the answer to why MJ suddenly wants in on the superhero gig now that there's a door open. Maybe a little inelegant, but I'm having trouble thinking of any really better alternatives.)
C.) In the second issue of the series, we have MJ thinking: "Six months later [after joining in as a superhero] [Peter] still seems to think I'm kidding." She also compares being left out as being "shut out," which regardless of how logical or fair that is, does give some idea of she feels. If we assume for the sake of discussion that joining the team is important to her as the comic is telling us, I wouldn't blame her for being sore if she thought that Peter didn't take it seriously. While slightly different characterizations do apply, in "Spider-Man 3," MJ was really hurt when Peter was dismissive of something that was important to her. At any rate, the series has already set up that the question of if the family should be superhero-ing together is a sensitive subject for her, meaning that the argument erupting over it is a fairly logical outcome this early in the game, as is her reaction in the cave scene.
D.) Every one is stressed out and pretty worked up by this point in the story, so I'm not sure how much stock we can put in they're saying; we all can say things we don't mean or aren't thinking through when we're angry enough. Since MJ was jumping from "I don't think Annie should be here" and hearing it as "Both of you shouldn't be here," I think we're meant to read that as her overreacting in the heat of the moment, not as "She's right, he's wrong." Also recall that after pulling themselves out of the pit and discussing that Peter's still getting used to not working alone, he seems to be reaffirming that he's accepted MJ coming with, further undermining the weight of the "stay at home" line. We also don't get to hear the entire conversation, since Annie tunes it out shortly after it gets started, so we're drawing a conclusion from a fragment, not a whole.
E.) For what it's worth, I liked that they're showing some growing pains and a learning curve as everyone is trying to adjust to the new normal and figure out how to make it work, where the limits are, second guessing decisions, disagreeing on execution, etc. It made for a more interesting start than just having everything running like clockwork from the get go.
As for the Brant and Jameson exchange, there could be shades of it there, but I took it mostly as a simple way to establish that Brant has been promoted to a new job since the original comics (we don't see Brant's face or hear her name until Jameson warns her to be careful) and to set Jameson up for the joke regarding her misreading his ire that Spider-Man has a new "partner in crime," so to speak. (Seeing Jameson being annoyed while holding a lollipop is quite funny. The idea that he quit smoking and is using candy as a substitute isn't going to get old.)
Now, as far as the logic in Annie coming along on the missions, I will concede that it's probably always going to have some suspension of disbelief. However, that was the deal going in, the idea of kid superheroes working with adults has always been a tradition that comics have used, so I'm not sure what else we can do about it. (Given an announcement for an upcoming issue in the series, I wonder if Conway is going to be playing with the idea that Annie is a newbie in the business.) Interestingly enough, the entire family seems to be using web shooters pretty well, which might imply that they're been training between the original miniseries and the present.
As far as Annie misbehaving and getting away with it:
A.) The resolution to web shooter incident in the first issue wasn't shown, but the scene ended with Peter and MJ clarifying that they're still not happy with her, so I'm not sure she got off scot-free.
B.) We have yet to see if the grounding she was told she was getting for getting involved in the Mole-Man fight in the second and third issues was forgotten about or not, esp. given that MJ was pretty consistent on that point (bringing up three times) and seemed to have Peter's support.
I actually appreciated that the third issue gave Annie a sympathetic reason for sneaking off to the fight (getting the vision of her parents in trouble and wanting to prevent that) instead of just having her do it out of sheer rebellion or something. Not saying it should automatically excuse it or anything, but there was more depth to the decision. I do hope that the future issues don't overuse the idea of her getting into trouble; that'll get old really fast and not reflect well on the characters.
Maybe I'm wrong about all the above, but that's was my impression. Mileage may vary and all that.
I have noticed a few reviewers who were not very happy with the Mole Man characterization. This's my first exposure to the character, so I was curious what you thought of him, Douglas?
"As for the feminist thing, I think I'm going to say 'nay,' at least from MJ's perspective. My case is as follows…"
That was a seriously impressive mental gymnastics routine. I'm not even going to try and rebut your arguments other than to tell people to read the book and check it out for themselves. And if they are on the fence about Conway and the feminism thing, then I suggest scrolling through a few days of his Twitter feed…
Honestly, I'm not too up on Mole Man because I've never been a huge fan of The Fantastic Four. I know how I would write him if I were the guy penning Marvel comics, but in general I have no beef with what Conway and Stegman are doing with him. What are the criticisms? I didn't know people were that invested in the character. Haha.
J.R. Handley says:
Seems like Mommy Insanity is trying to kill off her daughter. The writer clearly does NOT have kids, to think parents would throw them into the lions den like that.
With every other argument I see, this statement is by far the most relevant. Anyone that has a child knows that throwing a young teen into danger…at least in modern times…is not going to illicit a tale of courage and sacrifice, it's a tale of horror and stupidity. A dead youth and a picture of 2 people who completely dropped their most solemn responsibility for a cheap go at sharing the glory of heroism. This is the thought process of suicide bomber parents, not loving people.
Gerry has kids, though, which just makes it worse to me. Along the lines of "are you stupid?" and " how long have you've been sucking up that Cali BS". As I know personally, you get into a the political world they live in and everyone is a sacrifice, even your kids.
"…A dead youth and a picture of 2 people who completely dropped their most solemn responsibility for a cheap go at sharing the glory of heroism. This is the thought process of suicide bomber parents, not loving people."
Punishing critique, Chuck. That one left a mark!
"Gerry has kids, though, which just makes it worse to me. Along the lines of 'are you stupid?' and "how long have you've been sucking up that Cali BS". As I know personally, you get into a the political world they live in and everyone is a sacrifice, even your kids."
It's kind of like people who bring to their kids to political rallies and use them as props. There is nothing more bizarre to me than seeing little kids dressed in "I'm with her!" or "Feel the Bern!" or "MAGA!" gear … jumping up in down like mini-activists because their parents wouldn't let them just be a kid.
Again, vicious blow with a sword of truth there, Chuck.
Sadly true, you have to wonder how they rationalize it to themselves.
Okay, fair enough. My case was intended along the lines of "I don't hold that view and this is why," not "I'm trying win a debate." Guess it goes to show that different things will stick out to different people. Right now, my red flag, so to speak, is the messy continuity between the original miniseries and the ongoing, which is something you haven't chosen to comment on, I guess like how your red flags are either things I'm not that worried about or are not picking up on.
"What are the criticisms [about Mole Man]? I didn't know people were that invested in the character. Haha."
Some constants I've seen are that they don't care for the dialogue he's been given. A podcast review I heard from the "Spider-Man Crawlspace" website had a panelist who specifically held the opinion that Mole Man's lines were bad writing (incidentally, a couple of panelists are also not fans of Mary Jane being a superhero). Personally, I didn't mind, although I will concede that a few of his lines do fall flat.
Another common critique is that Mole Man is out of character in this story. Since I don't follow "Fantastic Four" either, I couldn't say if that's true or not.
In my own opinion, I do think that Mole Man was an odd choice for an opening villain (although I have heard the theory that the Parkers are supposed to be like the "Fantastic Four," so he makes sense thematically). I also think that his role in the story is kind of perfunctory. However, since the main focus of the arc was the Parkers themselves, I don't think he was supposed to be the main focus but the catalyst to drive the former forward.
I think both Gerry Conway and Ryan Stegman have kids.
"Okay, fair enough. My case was intended along the lines of 'I don't hold that view and this is why,' not 'I'm trying win a debate.'"
I have no doubt that you were not trying to solely "win" a debate, given that I've interacted with you on this blog for quite some time. My stance is that it takes some serious mental gymnastics to ignore the in-your-face "girl power!" pandering via Betty Brant and MJ in this issue.
Enh. It's superhero comics, normal rules barely apply. We could complain about all the Robins over the years. Though MJ shouting like a knee-jerk feminist at an Ashley Judd poetry slam sounds stupid.
This is a kid who can stick to walls, has psychic visions, and can (I assume) bend iron bars with her bare hands. Some bully could sock Annie, and bust her hand on Annie's unnaturally tough muscles. What I'd like to see are the Parkers training her to know the difference between, "I can help here" vs "I'm in over my head."
Though having an elementary-school aged superhero does create story problems. Annie being in regular public school but still running off during school days to have adventures is going to become either ridiculous or played for comedy after a while; as will be her showing up at school with bruises! The Parkers will end up arrested for facilitating truancy or suspected child abuse! It would help to have the principal be placed there by a friendly agency (Avengers? Shield?) who covers for them, or set up a scenario where Annie is allegedly being partially home-schooled.
"Enh. It's superhero comics, normal rules barely apply. We could complain about all the Robins over the years."
I think that is a pretty interesting point. Are we supposed to be examining this situation in as great of detail as we are? Now, obviously we can and it's a fair idea to explore (esp. as Conway has been addressing the issue himself), but I have the suspicion that the whole family as a superhero thing is primarily being used as a vehicle to explore the family dynamics in an interesting manner, not to be a deconstruction or completely true to real life. It's also a very common trope for series writing with families; have them all working as a job that'll involve opportunities for adventure along the way.
"Though MJ shouting like a knee-jerk feminist at an Ashley Judd poetry slam sounds stupid."
You can read stuff I wrote above for what I thought of that, mental gymnastics or otherwise. (Although, giving it thought, I've been a Trekkie for some time and involved in various discussions on that. Based on how some of those conversations go, I can assure you that my theories about this comic barely qualify as warmups in comparison to the mental gymnastics I've seen and provided for "Star Trek," but whatever, right?)
Yeah, I like the idea of that.
Two theories, either they will address it or it will be another suspension of disbelief for the sake of the premise. Which it is and how well we'll accept it depends on the quality of the stories and writing, I think.
The Four says:
I think that comment by Mary Jane about staying home has more to do with how she often worries for his safety and nothing feminist. Because there is no blatant saying that women are better than men thing going on here.

State and Local Legislation
State Ballot Questions Produce Mixed Results
David Jaroslav
State & Local Legislative Manager
FAIR Take | December 2022
Voters in two states considered immigration issues on their ballots this year while ballots in another couple of states considered whether voting rights should be extended to non-US citizens. In Arizona, voters decided to grant in-state tuition to illegal aliens while Massachusetts voters chose to provide driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Meanwhile, Ohio and Louisiana voters overwhelmingly resolved to reserve voting rights in their state and local elections to American citizens only.
Arizona: In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens
In November voters considered Proposition (Prop.) 308 which will grant illegal aliens in Arizona in-state college tuition rate if they have attended school in Arizona for at least two years and graduated. This proposition partially overturned a ballot question from 2006 which banned illegal aliens from receiving in-state tuition, public educational financial aid, or state-subsidized childcare assistance. Prop. 308 was narrowly approved by Arizona voters 51.24 to 48.76 percent.
According to Lending Tree, average in-state tuition at 4-year public colleges and universities in Arizona is $11,220 a year while out-of-state tuition is $29,750 a year, a difference of $18,530 or slightly over 165 percent.
Massachusetts: Drivers' Licenses for Illegal Aliens
The Massachusetts legislature overrode Governor Charlie Baker's (R) veto of the so-called "Work and Family Mobility Act" to provide driver's licenses to illegal aliens. However, a referendum petition to negate the legislature's decision was successful and Massachusetts voters had the opportunity to reject the law when they cast their ballot in November. In order to prevent the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) from providing driver's licenses to illegal aliens, voters needed to vote "no" on Question 4.
Question 4 was approved by the voters 53.93-46.07 percent and the RMV will start issuing driver's licenses to illegal aliens on July 1, 2023. The vote on Question 4 was close despite the fact those opposed to giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens were outspent 16-1. Open-borders advocates and corporate interests spent $3.6 million in support of granting driver's licenses to illegal aliens while those opposed spent just over $200,000.
Ohio and Louisiana: Citizen-Only Voting
Voters in both Ohio and Louisiana overwhelmingly approved amendments to their state constitutions to ensure only US citizens are allowed to vote in state or local elections. Both were driven in part by reaction to New York City granting local voting rights to foreign nationals in January, a decision which a state trial court has since blocked but which New York City has appealed.
In Ohio, Issue 2, which was included on the November ballot, passed 76.9-23.1 percent. In addition to providing that only a citizen may register and vote, the amendment also specifically bans local governments from creating alien voting rights for their own local elections and offices.
In support of the amendment, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) stated "a vote is a sacred right that many have fought and bled to protect – but only a right that is earned by birth or the oath of citizenship. American elections are only for American citizens — and that should never change."
In Louisiana, Amendment 1, which was included on the December ballot, passed 73.44-26.56 percent. Amendment 1 provided that "[n]o person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be allowed to register and vote in this state." According to Rep. Debbie Villio (R-Kenner), who sponsored the legislation to get it on ballot, Amendment 1 was "needed to prevent towns and cities in Louisiana from doing what New York City did."
These states now join Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, and North Dakota to have constitutional amendments that explicitly allow only citizens to vote in their elections. Efforts have already begun in Iowa to put a similar state constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2024 and are likely to be introduced in other states as well.
Any person who is not a United States citizen or national, but who is residing in the U.S. legally. Resident aliens are categorized into permanent residents, conditional residents, and returning residents.

Decipher how the Pleistocene glaciations determine the distribution of species in Europe
A group of researchers, in which the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC) and the University of Alcalá collaborate, has analyzed how the glaciations that occurred during the Pleistocene (between 2 million and 21,000 years ago) influenced the distribution of species.
Specifically, they have worked with the genus of Coleoptera Carabus and they have verified that the glaciations caused the mixture of species of different lineages and a distribution based on responses to climate in the north and landforms in the south.
This investigation, that could be extrapolated to other groups of species, reveals how changes in climate affect the distribution of animals.
The Genus Carabus, a group of forest beetles that lives mainly in humus and preys on other animal species such as nematodes, worms or other insects, is made up of more than 1000 species, of which around 130 inhabit the European continent.
The research has been based on understand the processes that generate the sets of species that inhabit the different European regions. The authors have found that there is a very marked difference between the north and the south.
As they say, the separation is very clear precisely in the area where the ice limits reached during the last ice age, which also coincides with the distribution area of Central European deciduous forests in which the species of this group have great diversity.
The most prominent effect of the ice ages is that cause species of different evolutionary lineages to mixthe authors state. By analyzing the kinship relationships between the species, they have found that only some recent lineages are found in the same regions.
This shows that the current configuration of species originated as a result of the glaciations, which results in the loss of the endemic character of the oldest lineages.
Another conclusion reached by the group of researchers is that the distribution of species groups in the south is based on geographical barriers, while in the north the groups are distributed according to their climatic requirements.
This makes them think that Northern European species are recent colonizers.

August Bebel (Deutz, cerca de Colonia, Prussia, 22 de febrero de 1840 - Passugg, Suiza, 13 de agosto de 1913) fue un destacado dirigente socialdemócrata alemán. Participó en la fundación del Partido Socialdemócrata Alemán (SPD) en 1869, convirtiéndose en su figura más relevante durante las siguientes cuatro décadas.

Juventud y primeros contactos con la política
August Bebel fue hijo de un suboficial. Su padre murió temprano, en 1846, por lo cual Bebel vivía en la pobreza. Entre 1847 y 1854 iba a un colegio para pobres y burgueses en Wetzlar. Tenía que contribuir a los ingresos de la familia con trabajo a domicilio. En 1854 murió su madre.

De 1854 a 1857 aprendió la profesión de tornero y trabajó como tornero en Wetzlar. Siguiendo una antigua tradición, de 1858 a 1860 pasó los años de aprendizaje itinerante en Austria y en Alemania del Sur. Finalmente, en 1860, fijó su residencia en Leipzig.

En 1861 ingresó en una asociación educativa para trabajadores, el Leipziger gewerblicher Bildungsverein, donde «recibió su primera educación y comenzó a interesarse por la situación política alemana. En 1865 se convirtió en secretario de dicha organización y conoció a Wilhelm Liebknecht, un socialista ilustrado que le introdujo en los debates ideológicos del socialismo y que se convertiría en una de las principales influencias tanto en su vida privada como en su carrera política.»

En 1864 se convirtió en un oficial autónomo como maestro tornero. En 1864 o 1866 se casó con Julie Otto, hija de un obrero ferroviario.

Ascenso en la política
En 1866 Bebel fundó junto con Wilhelm Liebknecht el Sächsische Volkspartei, el Partido Popular Sajón. En 1867 se convirtió en presidente del Verband Deutscher Arbeitervereine, la Unión de Asociaciones Alemanas de los Trabajadores y, en el mismo año, en diputado del parlamento del Norddeutscher Bund, la Confederación Alemana del Norte. En 1868, bajo la influencia de Wilhelm Liebknecht, se une a la Primera Internacional.

En 1869 participa en la fundación del Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei, el Partido Socialdemócrata Obrero (uno de los dos partidos de los cuales en 1875 nace el Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, el Partido Socialdemócrata Alemán [SPD]), y pronto se convierte en presidente del mismo.

Como diputado de la Asamblea de la Confederación del Norte junto con Liebknecht se declaró en contra de autorizar créditos para financiar la guerra franco-prusiana. Fueron los únicos miembros de la Asamblea en hacerlo. Después de la fundación del Reich alemán en 1871, Bebel fue miembro del parlamento del Reich, el Reichstag, para el Partido Socialdemócrata Obrero. Ocuparía su escaño de forma ininterrumpida hasta su muerte.

Bebel en el parlamento del Reich alemán
En el Reichstag, se convirtió en una de las principales figuras de la oposición al gobierno de Bismarck. Atacó con dureza y brilliantez la política expansionista, las leyes discriminatorias contra la Iglesia católica y la anexión de Alsacia-Lorena tras la victoria alemana en la guerra franco-prusiana. En cambio, apoyó públicamente y con ardor a la Comuna de París, la rebelión socialista que había estallado en la capital francesa tras la caída de Napoleón III. Estas actitudes le condujeron a la cárcel, tras ser juzgado y hallado culpable de alta traición en marzo de 1872. Sentenciado a dos años, Bebel aprovechó de la mejor manera posible su período en prisión: se recuperó de una tuberculosis que la falta de reposo había convertido en crónica y se volcó en el estudio sistemático. No fue la única vez que estuvo en la cárcel, en total pasó casi cinco años en la cárcel por difamación (entre otros de Bismarck y del Bundesrat) y por «difundir doctrinas peligrosas para el Estado».En una reunión celebrada en Gotha en 1875, Bebel apoyó la fusión del SPD y del grupo socialista gradualista encabezado por el pensador Ferdinand Lassalle, en aras a conseguir la unión de todos los socialistas alemanes. Cuando en 1878 se promulgaron las Leyes antisocialistas, Bebel se convirtió el la figura principal de la oposición: desde 1878, el SPD tuvo que luchar contra la ofensiva lanzada por Bismarck contra los socialistas a través de una serie de leyes de emergencia que se sucedieron hasta 1890. Bebel consiguió mantener a flote la organización mediante un contundente rechazo de las estrategias de lucha violenta y agitación revolucionaria, pues consideraba que éstas ponían en peligro la pervivencia del partido. A pesar del estado de semiclandestinidad en el que operaban las organizaciones obreras, Bebel continuó realizando su labor de oposición mediante la difusión de panfletos y periódicos y a través de charlas y conferencias en los medios socialistas. En 1886 fue detenido y nuevamente encarcelado bajo la acusación de lesa majestad. Una vez liberado, se afincó en Berlín en 1890. En las elecciones de ese año, el SPD obtuvo un 20 % de los votos, después de que las leyes de emergencia fueran derogadas y el canciller Bismarck retirado del gobierno por el Kaiser Guillermo II.

Abogó por el sufragio universal para hombres y mujeres en todos los estados del Reich alemán (las mujeres pudieron votar por primera vez en la República de Weimar, el 19 de enero de 1919). Fue uno de los autores principales del Programa de Erfurt de 1891 del Partido Socialdemócrata Alemán (SPD). Al contrario del ala izquierda del partido, abogó por una lucha con medidas pacíficas y se opuso a una revolución.

Bebel no abandonó su trabajo como tornero, que le permitía mantener a su familia (se había casado en 1864 con la hija de un obrero ferroviario), ya que no cobraba sueldo alguno del parlamento. Hasta la década de 1880 no consiguió vivir enteramente de sus escritos. Bebel se había concentrado profesionalmente en la fabricación de pestillos para ventanas y puertas de cuernos de búfalo. Durante la «época de los fundadores» pudo ampliar su negocio. Durante su arresto, su mujer dirigió el negocio. El personal de su fabrica abarcaba un jefe, seis ayudantes y dos aprendices.

Bebel como presidente de los socialdemócratas
Mientras el SPD aumentaba rápidamente su implantación entre el electorado alemán, Bebel consolidaba su liderazgo en el partido, del que fue elegido presidente en 1892. Durante los años siguientes, intentaría imponer la línea teórica diseñada por el filósofo Eduard Bernstein: un socialismo de corte reformista y gradualista que rechazaba la estrategia revolucionaria y abogaba por la progresiva mejora de las condiciones de vida de la clase trabajadora dentro de un sistema democrático. Los debates internos en torno a la línea política a adoptar culminaron en el congreso del partido celebrado en Dresde en 1903, en el que Bebel condenó cualquier desviación de la doctrina reformista-gradualista del ala mayoritaria del partido y se enfrentó a los radicales, que exigían la implicación del SPD en la lucha revolucionaria. El abandono de Bebel de cualquier veleidad revolucionaria quedó sellado en 1905, al establecer con los sindicatos un pacto por el cual el SPD renunciaba a dirigir la agitación revolucionaria del proletariado alemán y se comprometía decididamente con la socialdemocracia.

Todavía bajo su liderazgo, el SPD obtuvo la mayoría parlamentaria en las elecciones de 1912, con 110 escaños en el Reichstag. Sin embargo, Bebel moriría al año siguiente, a la edad de 73 años, mientras se encontraba en Passugg, cerca de Chur (Suiza).

How to Partition a Hard Drive
There are many reasons to partition your hard drive: security, data redundancy, or simply for filing. It's easier than you think. Here's how.
By Whitson Gordon
https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive
Ever wish you could split your hard drive in two? Maybe you want to encrypt a portion of your drive for sensitive files, or maybe you want do dual-boot Linux alongside Windows. It's actually easy to do, and all the necessary tools are built right into Windows.
This process is called partitioning your drive, and in fact, your drive is probably partitioned out of the box: the majority of the drive is occupied by the C: partition, but most PCs also have a small "Recovery" partition that can help repair your system if something goes wrong. If you aren't using all the space on your C: drive, here's how to divide it into multiple partitions for other uses.
Should You Partition?
Partitioning your drive seems convenient, but it isn't always the ideal solution to your problem. If you want to encrypt files, for example, it may be easier to create a virtual disk with a program like VeraCrypt instead of partitioning—though partitioning allows you to use Windows' built-in BitLocker to encrypt an entire partition without third-party software.
Similarly, partitioning allows you to allocate one portion of your drive to Windows itself, with another for all your music, videos, and other files—so they don't get deleted when you reinstall your operating system. This is convenient, but can cause as many problems as it solves—like if you run out of space on one partition and have too much free space on the other.
If you don't have to partition your drive, consider the pros and cons before continuing. If you're dead set on partitioning—or you're doing something that requires partitioning, like dual-booting your computer—then read on.
Check for Free Space and Back Up Your PC
First, open Windows' File Explorer and make sure you have enough free space for the partition you want to create. Click on "This PC" in the sidebar and look at your C: drive—if it's almost full, you won't be able to create a new partition, and you'll either need to free up some space or buy a new hard drive.
If you have some free space, make sure it's enough—we can't tell you how much you'll need for what you're doing, but make sure you have enough to give you some breathing room for expansion.
Next, before partitioning your drive, back up your data. Messing with partitions always carries a small risk that you'll erase the wrong thing and lose some files, so don't start this process before backing up the drive. Here are some backup services we recommend.'
Shrink the C: Drive
Click on the Start menu and type "partitions." You should see an option appear to "Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions." Select it, and wait for the window to load. You'll be presented with a list of drives and their partitions, with a graphical view along the bottom.
Most computers will look something like the image above: a Recovery partition at the beginning, a small 100MB partition where boot information is stored, and your C: partition, which takes up the majority of the drive (note that this graphical representation is not to scale). In order to create a new partition, you'll first have to shrink the C: partition. Right-click it and choose "Shrink Volume."
Windows will present you with a somewhat confusing window asking how much space, in megabytes, you want to free up (remember, 100,000 MB = 100 GB). By default, it'll set your drive to shrink as much as Windows allows, but you can type in a lower number to free up less space. Make sure you have enough room to fit the files you expect to put on the second partition, plus some extra. Click the "Shrink" button and wait for Windows to do its job.
Format the New Partition
Once you've shrunk your C: partition, you'll see a new block of Unallocated space at the end of your drive in Disk Management. Right-click on it and choose "New Simple Volume" to create your new partition. Click through the wizard, assigning it the drive letter, label, and format of your choice.
If you'll be using the partition from Windows, you can format it as NTFS, though if you'll be sharing that data between other operating systems—like macOS or Linux—you might want to choose exFAT, which is readable and writable from other platforms. If you're going to install another operating system on that partition, it doesn't really matter how you format it, since the OS installer will likely re-format it anyway. When you're done, you should see the new partition appear in Windows Explorer, and you can do whatever you want with it.
Just remember that while Windows shows the partitions as multiple disks, they're still on one hard drive—so if the drive fails, all your partitions will fail. Keep both partitions backed up regularly so you don't lose data.
If You Run Into Trouble, Try a Third-Party Tool
Unfortunately, partitioning a drive doesn't always go this smoothly. Maybe there are unmovable files near the end of the disk, and it won't let you shrink the existing partition. Or maybe your drive has accumulated a bunch of recovery partitions that Windows' Disk Management won't let you delete.
We can't go into detail on fixing every possible issue here, but if you hit a wall, you might want to try a third-party utility like MiniTool Partition Wizard. These programs tend to be a bit more powerful than Windows' built-in options, but certain features may cost money, and if you aren't careful, you can lose data in the process. As always, back up before you start messing with the drive, and you should be fine.

Suitcases, mattresses, socks and gloves. In Nyhavn it was possible to make final requisitions before departure.
Agents of Emigration
Nyhavn in Copenhagen was the hub of Danish emigration. Alongside lodgings and taverns travellers found agencies of the major international steam line companies offering tickets to cross the Atlantic.
Steam line company agents stood ready when ships from the Danish provinces arrived with a steady load of Danes leaving their native country. They used every trick in the book to grab those potential emigrants who had not yet bought a ticket.
The emigrants were easily recognised by their large pieces of luggage. Needless to say, the merchants in Nyhavn would sell everything from socks to mattresses and utensils to those still in want.
Cunard Lines office in Aalborg. The speed and size of the ocean liners was an important competitive parameter.
The Provincial Gateway
In many Danish provincial towns, you could find shopkeepers, innkeepers and craftsmen who earned a supplementary income serving as agents for the major steam-line companies.
The provincial agencies gave people an opportunity to browse brochures from American railway-and immigration companies and even bought them their tickets for the Atlantic crossing. Agents received commission from these sales, and in the many years of mass emigration, the business proved to be quite lucrative.

Motorway across the Atlantic
Emigration from Europe to America rose dramatically after the end of the American Civil War. Technological advances and new means of communication like the telegraph, railroads and steamships tied the continents ever closer together.
The early Danish emigrants crossed the Atlantic onboard English or German ships leaving from Liverpool, Bremen or Hamburg. From 1880 until 1898 it was possible to sail directly from Copenhagen with Danish entrepreneur C. F. Tietgens' Thingvalla Lines. Until the middle of the 1930s the journey from Denmark could be made with DFDS' Scandinavia-America Line.
Imagine the sea-voyage they had...
"No boat that I ever since have been on swayed its way quite like 'Norge', sliding up and down the abysmal Atlantic waves. The Atlantic that I got to know at that time has since been lost, simply because nowadays, on the tall modern ships, you look at the sea from above. At that time, you saw it from below, barely above the surface, and in rough weather the waves would rise tall forming a narrow horizon of watery mountains with transparent bottle green peaks looming over the boat deep down in the trough between them, and when the boat would ride the wave, you could gaze upon ranks of Niagaras, one after the other. For weeks the deck was flooded with water and the entrance to the lower decks, where hundreds of Scandinavian emigrants were quartered, had to be kept shut. Imagine the sea-voyage they had!"
The emigrant station on Ellis Island, New York, 1895. Each emigrant was registered and underwent a very quick examination.
Setting Foot on Ellis Island
The Ellis Island Immigration Reception Station in New York was where many emigrants first set foot in the New World. Newcomers were registered and inspected before being allowed to enter the American mainland.
The Reception Station on Ellis Island was inaugurated in 1891 and in use until 1954. In that period more than 12 million people passed through its gates.
New York was most often where Danish emigrants first encountered the New World. Seen from a distance, the towering buildings on Manhattan were awe-inspiring, compared with the modest profile of Copenhagen. The constant noise and ever pulsating street life made an unforgettable impression on newcomers. Incredible wealth and social misery existed side by side, and the almighty dollar reigned.
Danish emigrants were warned not to linger and get stuck in the American cities but instead encouraged to move westward. Nevertheless, the Danish speaking population in New York added up to a few thousand persons around 1900 and the city held around 20 different Danish organisations.
Tower houses on the southern tip of Manhattan, 1910. The 190 metre Singers Building at the centre was the world's tallest at the time.
A surplus of daring...
"The tower houses in the lower city, facing Battery Place, are what you see at the entry having passed the Statue of Liberty, the famous skyline […] The impression is related to the great natural phenomena, mountain ranges and volcanos, but with the additional fascination that what you stand before is made by man. A surplus of daring and dimensions of thought have found an expression here, the American temperament…"
Chicago's network of Danish journalists, intellectuals and businessmen gathered around iconic Round Table, c.1900.
The Round Table in Chicago
A circle of more prominent Danes in Chicago met regularly around the 'Round Table' in Wilkens Cellar restaurant. The group fostered several initiatives meant to strengthen the ties between Danish emigrants and their native land.
Initially, the Danish-American Society was founded in 1906 for the purpose of sending Danish artists and actors on tour in America. A few years later the idea of a recurring 4th of July meeting between Danes and Danish-Americans in Rebild was launched.
Notably, the photo shows William 'Black' Hansen (1854-1909) (front left). Formerly engaged in the Danish socialist movement, he was for many years a driving force in Chicago's Danish-American network.
Presidential candidate Woodrow Wilson paid a visit to The Danish Pioneer in Omaha, Nebraska, 1913.
Sofus Neble & The Danish Pioneer
Sofus Neble (1858-1931) was born on the island of Falster and trained as a typographer. In 1883 he emigrated to the USA and found an occupation at The Danish Pioneer newspaper in Omaha, Nebraska.
With Sofus Neble at its helm, The Danish Pioneer grew to form an almost indispensable bond between the tens of thousands of Danes that each year emigrated to America. The newspaper was written in Danish and, apart from carrying practical and useful information, it was marked by Neble's personal and socially engaged journalism.
Neble's direct language put the newspaper at odds with both major landholders and religious and industrial circles in Denmark and America. On the other hand, it earned Neble the respect of farmers and workers. Over the years, The Danish Pioneer established itself with correspondents in every major Danish settlement. With almost 30,000 subscribers in 1914, it was undisputedly the largest Danish newspaper in America. The newspaper is still being published in 2020.
Chicago street c.1900. With a population of more than 1 million, it was one of America's largest cities.
Chicago is one of Americas major economic hubs. It is vibrant international metropolis and a gateway to the American Midwest. It formed a centre for both distribution of homestead land, speculation in railway bonds, and trade with farm products from the prairie states.
At the turn of the century roughly 10,000 Danes lived in Chicago. The colony was populated by an upper class of businessmen, traders and journalists and a large majority of craftsmen and unskilled workers. Being one of the latest groups to settle in Chicago they lived in the city's poorest neighbourhoods.
Chicago, presumably c. 1900.
The crowded American cities were an overwhelming experience to most emigrants. Chicago, c. 1900.
All peoples of the world on both sidewalks...
"From 23rd street the automobile moves down Broadway. Approaching Manhattan's south tip, the street grows more and more like a long deep canyon with towering houses on both sides and thundering traffic at the bottom. A living amalgam of all the worlds peoples flow on both sidewalks. They wander. Nowhere else is the pace set by errands like on this broad street leading from work and to work. No one can be identified by his boots like the New Yorker. They resemble a new type of hooves, wander-feet, bruised and dusty from the grit they tear off the street, coal dust, metal and stone particles that wear of a city, they look like mountaineers, and so they are, every day they cling on to the stony ridges of the modern city, they advance over ground vibrating from traffic like a volcano, they breathe the poisonous air, fertile with the electricity of a thunderstorm; they manoeuvre their way between lava-streams of people that are constantly rallying with trams and trains over their heads and underground, they listen in a noise that is more isolating than silence, a sedative street-blast, a rockslide where airwaves are simply crushed. This is the high pressure they must go through; this is the way that leads across New York."
The North American prairie plains were flat and desolate. Settlers had to bring almost everything for a fresh start.
Danish Mass Emigration
Danish mass emigration began around the middle of the 19th century, with people notably leaving the eastern part of the country. Their destination was most often Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin, still considered the western outskirts of civilisation on the North American continent.
When emigration from Jutland picked up speed in the 1870s, focus shifted to the prairie states. Over the following decades Minnesota, Iowa, Montana and the Dakotas were dotted with well-known Danish place names like Dannevirke, Rosenborg, Viborg and Askov.
Once the flood of emigrants began to ebb away in the 1920s, almost half of the Danish immigrants to the USA had settled in the prairie states.
Forest labour or building railroads offered an opportunity for many poor emigrants to save money and eventually buy farmland.
The early generations of Danish emigrants would often settle in forested states like Michigan or Wisconsin.

Building a New Life
The first settlers to arrive on the Great Plains lacked suitable building materials. Most often newcomers dug into the prairie soil and built a sod house. The construction work was required to be completed before winter started, as it brought high winds and freezing temperatures.
Better building materials, fuels and other modern conveniences were not readily available until railway lines were within reach.
Women's Life on the Prairie
The women who accompanied their husbands to their new homesteads often led hard and lonely lives.
The first couple of years on the prairie were especially difficult. Freezing winters and hard labour with a small outcome put both marriage and family lives to the test.
A simple sod house was the first home to many settlers on the prairie. It was easily made with available materials.
Turning the homestead wilderness into farmland was a formidable task. Before the advent of motor power, oxen or horses were very important.
Many Danish emigrants made use of the Homestead Act, a piece of American legislation through which an applicant could acquire ownership of 240 acres of government land or public domain, as long as the applicant occupied and farmed the land for 5 years.
The Homestead Act helped populate the American Midwest. At the turn of the century, however, most suitable farmland had been occupied, and many latecomers found that a 240-acre plot of land was too small to support a family. It took years to cultivate the prairie soil and competition from mechanized and more well-established farms in the eastern states made life difficult.
From the turn of the century onwards the larger proportion of Danish emigrants settled in either Americas cities or in small rural communities. Quite a few travelled on to Canada where land was abundant and the homestead dream lived on.
The tale of freedom in America...
"The real reason why the tale of freedom in America […] still attracts emigrants, and occasionally whole fragments of peoples at a time, is that America still contains a certain ethnographical vacuum providing the characteristic movability of the American. The population is not a mass at rest but in continual fluctuation renewed by immigration, nowhere standing still, hence the rapid tempo. The reason why the battle for subsistence is less bitter than in Europe, somehow with a brighter tone, must be due to the fact that vast reserves of space still exist here."

I'm generally against capital punishment except in cases of dumbasses willfully using "alot" as a word. That said, I fully recognize English spelling rules do no one any favors. For example, the words "sail" and "sale" are pronounced exactly the same but have entirely different meanings. So are "scent," "sent" and "cent." And don't even get me started on that "i before e" crap.
Over time many have noted the problem lies in the fact that we use an alphabet which essentially hasn't changed in 1,000 years. The English of Chaucer's time only bears a passing resemblance to the English of today. So why are we still using the same damn letters? My guess is a combination of force of habit and general laziness.
The Georgian alphabet never caught on here, not even in Atlanta.
It's said during quiet nights on the Metro, you can still hear Congress laughing.
… Eh, same facial hair.
Yup, ending up in Utah after being unceremoniously thrown out of every place else they'd been, the Saints wanted to do everything their way. They even created a new alphabet to communicate amongst themselves. Attempts to change the alphabet were nothing new, not even in the 19th Century. No less than Benjamin Franklin himself made such a proposal in the 1760s. However unlike Franklin, who apparently lost interest in his proposal soon after he made it, the Mormon Church made a serious effort to implement their alphabet for daily use. Thus, the Deseret alphabet was formulated.
LDS Church President Brigham Young, noting many of the same problems with English spelling rules that Franklin observed decades earlier, formed a committee at the recently-established University of Deseret (now the University of Utah) and charged them with creating a more phonetically friendly alphabet. In January 1854, the university announced it had succeeded.
Having between 38 and 40 letters in its various incarnations each corresponding to a different English phoneme, the Deseret alphabet was touted by Young as a solution to those silly spelling rules and that "the years that are now required to learn to read and spell can be devoted to other studies." Young didn't elaborate on what those other studies should be, but I'm willing to bet they didn't involve 8 Ball.
Being a religion, the LDS Church set out to publish its scriptures in the alphabet, including the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. For a time the Deseret News published a section in the alphabet as well. A couple of textbooks were thrown in for good measure. There's even an extant headstone and coin utilizing the alphabet.
Unlike fry sauce and Jell-O molds, the Deseret alphabet never caught on in despite Young's enthusiasm. Public indifference and the prohibitive costs of transcription and printing combined to doom the alphabet. After Young died in 1877, the project was quietly abandoned.
Still, the Deseret alphabet isn't quite dead. It's been part of the Unicode standard since 2001. It's also the official alphabet of the Republic of Molossia.
Technical note: Today's sub-headers are written in an attempt to use the Deseret alphabet. If you can't see them you may need to download and install a Deseret font. I'm sure you'll find it very useful in the coming years, or something ….

Q: How to detect gesture between swipe and drag? I want to create one view in main view and apply both swipe and drag (pan) gesture to that view. But how to know that that is swipe or pan gesture?

A: @dfd is correct. You should always use the built-in iOS gesture recognizers for this. If apps were to each implement their own logic for determining gestures, iOS would be a very inconsistent experience for users.
Every gesture recognizer is going to be a subclass of UIGestureRecognizer. You should read the documentation.
In your case you want UISwipeGestureRecognizer and UIPanGestureRecognizer.
Here's an example:
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        let swipeRecognizer = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(userSwiped))
        swipeRecognizer.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1
        swipeRecognizer.direction = .left

        let panRecognizer = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(userPanned))
        panRecognizer.minimumNumberOfTouches = 1

        view.addGestureRecognizer(swipeRecognizer)
        view.addGestureRecognizer(panRecognizer)
    }

    @objc private func userSwiped(recognizer: UISwipeGestureRecognizer) {

    }

    @objc private func userPanned(recognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {

    }

}

Here, I create the gesture recognizers and add them to whichever view I want. You don't have to do this in viewDidLoad. By setting the target, we are setting which method should be called when the gesture is recognized. The recognizers automatically pass themselves as arguments to your custom functions so that you can query the state property, etc. You should read the documentation to understand how this process differs for each gesture recognizer.
