Main article: History of Sioux Falls, South Dakota
The history of Sioux Falls revolves around the cascades of the Big Sioux River. The falls were created about 14,000 years ago during the last ice age. The lure of the falls has been a powerful influence. Ho-Chunk, Ioway, Otoe, Missouri, Omaha (and Ponca at the time), Quapaw, Kansa, Osage, Arikira, Dakota, Nakota and Cheyenne people inhabited the region previous to European descendants. Numerous burial mounds still exist on the high bluffs near the river. These people operated an agricultural society that built fortified villages on many of the same sites that were previously settled. Lakota populate urban and reservation communities in the contemporary state and many Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, and other Indigenous Americans reside in Sioux Falls today.[6]
The first documented European visit was made by French voyagers/explorers, in the early 1700s, who mapped the area and took census counts of the Indigenous cities communities at that time (with the Blood Run population being 10,000 people, not outnumbered in population until the 1800s by Euro-American settlers, thus this area has been a thriving urban area for quite some time).
The first documented visit by an American (of European descent) was by Philander Prescott, who camped overnight at the falls in December 1832. Captain James Allen led a military expedition out of Fort Des Moines in 1844. Jacob Ferris described the Falls in his 1856 book "The States and Territories of the Great West".[7]
Two separate groups, the Dakota Land Company of St. Paul and the Western Town Company of Dubuque, Iowa organized in 1856 to claim the land around the falls, considering a promising townsite for its beauty and water power. Each laid out 320-acre (1.3 km2) claims, but worked together for mutual protection. They built a temporary barricade of turf which they dubbed "Fort Sod," in response to hostilities threatened by native tribes. Seventeen men then spent "the first winter" in Sioux Falls. The following year the population grew to near 40.
Although conflicts in Minnehaha County between Native Americans and white settlers were few, the Dakota War of 1862 engulfed nearby southwestern Minnesota. The town was evacuated in August of that year when two local settlers were killed as a result of the conflict. The settlers and soldiers stationed here traveled to Yankton in late August 1862. The abandoned townsite was pillaged and burned.

Fort Dakota, a military reservation established in present day downtown, was established in May 1865.[8] Many former settlers gradually returned and a new wave of settlers arrived in the following years. The population grew to 593 by 1873, and a building boom was underway in that year.The Village of Sioux Falls, consisting of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2), was incorporated in 1876 and was granted a city charter by the Dakota Territorial legislature on March 3, 1883.[9]
The arrival of the railroads ushered in the great Dakota Boom decade of the 1880s. The population of Sioux Falls mushroomed from 2,164 in 1880 to 10,167 at the close of the decade. The growth transformed the city. A severe plague of grasshoppers and a national depression halted the boom by the early 1890s. The city grew by only 89 people from 1890 to 1900.
But prosperity eventually returned with the opening of the John Morrell meat packing plant in 1909, the establishment of an airbase and a military radio and communications training school in 1942, and the completion of the interstate highways in the early 1960s. Much of the growth in the first part of the 20th century was fueled by the agriculturally-based industry, such as the Morrell plant and the nearby stockyards (one of the largest in the nation).
The old Minnehaha County Courthouse is currently used as a museum showcasing the history of Sioux Falls.
In 1955 the city decided to consolidate the neighboring incorporated city of South Sioux Falls. At the time the city had a population of nearly 1,600 inhabitants, according to the 1950 census. It was third largest city in the county after Sioux Falls and Dell Rapids. By October 18, 1955 South Sioux Falls residents voted 704 in favor and 227 against to consolidate with Sioux Falls. On the same issue, Sioux Falls residents voted on November 15 by the vote 2,714 in favor and 450 against.
In 1981, to take advantage of recently relaxed state usury laws, Citibank decided to relocate its primary credit card center from New York to Sioux Falls. Many claim that this event was the primary impetus for the increased population and job growth rates that Sioux Falls has experienced over the past quarter century. Others point out that Citibank's relocation was only part of a more general transformation of the city's economy from an industrially-based one to an economy centered on health care, finance and retail trade.[10]
Sioux Falls has grown at a rapid pace since the late 1970s, with the city's population increasing from 81,000 in 1980 to a 2007 estimate of 154,997.[1]
In 1992, a healthy economy, low unemployment, and a low crime rate led to Sioux Falls being named "the best place to live in America" by Money Magazine.[11]
In 2006, Men's Health Magazine ranked Sioux Falls as the 93rd Angriest City in the Nation, out of 100 cities studied in the survey.[12]
In 2007, Allstate awarded Sioux Falls with the Allstate Safety Leadership Award in recognition of the safe drivers of the area, with Sioux Falls residents averaging an accident once every 13.7 years.[13] Sioux Falls was honored with the award again in 2008.
Also in 2007, Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal ranked Sioux Falls the 9th Best City for Minor League Sports, In its ranking of Minor League Markets.[14]
In the November 2007 issue of Men's Health Magazine, Sioux Falls was ranked #2 on the list of cities with the least debt, finishing just behind Billings,Montana.
Forbes named Sioux Falls the #1 Best Small Place For Business And Careers in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Forbes also released the University of Cincinnati's 2006 "United States Drinking Water Quality Study Report", which had Sioux Falls ranked 3rd in Cleanest Drinking Water.
In 2009, CNN ranked Sioux Falls the 45th best place to live and launch a business out of a list of 100.[15]
The Sioux Falls Actors Studio next to the community playhouse is said to be haunted. When it was Rainbow Bar and Grill, a man dancing with a married woman was caught by her husband who was away, but he wanted to suprise her. In a fit of rage, he killed the man and he is seen walking and whistling Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

The council consists of five members elected to represent specific sections of the city and three additional seats that represent the city as a whole (that is, at-large). Sioux Falls operates under a home rule arrangement with the state of South Dakota.[21]

Originally centered on quarrying and agriculturally-based industries, the economy of Sioux Falls has become greatly diversified and more service-based over the last half-century, making the city an important location for financial services, health care, and retail trade.
Partially due to the lack of a state corporate income tax, Sioux Falls is the home of a number of financial companies.

Because of the relatively long distances between Sioux Falls and larger cities, Sioux Falls has emerged as an important regional center of shopping and dining. The Empire Mall, with over 180 stores, anchors one of the primary retail zones in the southwest section of the city. This area, centered mainly around the intersection of 41st Street and Louise Avenue, contains many large national chain stores and restaurants. Dawley Farm Village is a major commercial development that is being constructed for the east side of Sioux Falls. This major shopping district will be located at the intersection of Arrowhead Parkway (SD Highway 42) and Powder House Road (SD Highway 11). Downtown Sioux Falls is another important retail zone, offering more small, independent shops and restaurants than the Empire Mall area.
While no longer as economically dominant as it once was, the manufacturing and food processing sector remains an important component of the economy of Sioux Falls. The John Morrell meat packing plant is the third largest employer in the city. Other important manufacturing companies include Raven Industries, Bell Incorporated, Tyco, and Gage Brothers.
Sioux Falls also boasts the lowest unemployment rate in the United States.[26]

In the past decade, Sioux Falls experienced a renaissance of cultural interest. With a plethora of white collar jobs in the area, Sioux Falls' leaders saw a need for more arts and culture in the region. Several building projects excited change from a city with almost no theatre, and very little art, to an area with high attendance of theatre and arts events.[citation needed]
The Sioux Empire Arts Council continues to be an initiating leader in the arts scene of the Sioux Falls area and give out Mayor's Awards each year in several categories for excellence demonstrated by Sioux Falls residents within the particular form.[28]
Poetry and literary events began to come to greater popularity with the opening of the Sioux Empire Arts Council Horse Barn Gallery and due to a National Endowment for the Arts-supported Writer's Voice. The Writer's Voice included a reading series of 38 nationally known poets and writers (per year) who performed works and youth workshops through the Sioux Falls Writers Voice in local performance spaces, at the YMCA afterschool program, and in local area schools.[29]

Interstate 229 forms a partial loop around Sioux Falls, and connects with Interstate 90 to the northeast and Interstate 29 to the southwest. A grid design system for city streets is the standard for the central (older) area of the city, while newer residential areas have largely abandoned this plan. Due to current and expected regional growth, several large construction projects have been or will be undertaken. New interchanges have recently been added to Interstate 29. An interchange is also planned on I-90 at Marion Road. I-29 has recently been improved from I-90 to the 26th Street exit. This upgrade includes additional lanes and auxiliary lanes.

Trump accuses North Carolina of using coronavirus to hurt his re-election, but cites no evidence
Sep 10, 2020 Newsofth
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – President Donald Trump used a campaign rally in battleground North Carolina on Tuesday to accuse the state's Democratic governor of imposing coronavirus restrictions to hurt the president's re-election chances, though he cited no evidence to back up that claim.
"Your state should be open," Trump told an enthusiastic crowd that erupted in cheers in Winston-Salem.
The president, still stung from the loss of the GOP convention that was supposed to take place in the state last month but was moved to a nearly all-virtual event because of COVID-19, said North Carolina and other key battleground states such as Michigan were keeping their states shut for "political reasons."
Trump has leveled those claims before, and has never cited evidence to back them up. He has also contradicted himself on the point, pressuring states to open while at other times arguing, as he did in July, that the decision would be "up to governors" and "based based on the data and the facts on the ground."
North Carolina has had 27.9 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 people, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, putting it roughly in the middle of all states by that metric. New Jersey, by comparison, has had 179.5 deaths per 100,000 people and Alaska has had 5.7, according to the university.
"On Nov. 4th, every one of those states will be open. They're doing it for political reasons," Trump said in remarks that lasted 76 minutes.
Trump urged North Carolinians to vote against Gov. Roy Cooper and to instead vote for Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest because of the COVID restrictions. Aides to Cooper did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's remarks.
The campaign rally marked Trump's third appearance in as many weeks in North Carolina, a crucial state the president needs to win in order to secure his re-election chances. Trump won the Tar Heel State by nearly 4% in 2016 but recent polls in the state show Biden with a narrow lead,
Trump used the rally, held at an airfield entirely outdoors, to lash out at two favorite subjects: Biden and China.
"If Biden wins, China wins. It's as simple as that," Trump said. "Joe Biden's agenda is made in China, my agenda is made in the U.S.A."
He also laced into Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, who he said "could never be the first woman president."
"People don't like her. Nobody likes her," Trump said of Harris. "She could never be the first woman president. She could never be. That would be an insult to our country."
Trump said Biden "has now formed an unholy alliance" with the "radical left" by naming Harris to the Democratic ticket.
The president repeated his suggestion that voters in North Carolina should test their state's election system by voting once by mail, then trying to vote a second time in person, which is illegal and an example of the very kind of voter fraud that the president has spent months railing against.
"Make sure you send the ballot in and then go to your polling place and make sure it counts. Make sure. Because the only way they can win is by doing very bad things," he said.
North Carolina became the first state to mail out absentee ballots on Sept. 4, which they did for voters who request them. The North Carolina Board of Elections sent a message to voters last week to remind voters that it is illegal to vote twice after Trump encouraged residents to do so during a visit to Wilmington Wednesday.
Nearly a quarter of votes were cast by mail in 2016, but election officials expect a surge in mail-in ballots this year over coronavirus pandemic concerns.

The president's comments came as he ignored a request by the Republican chairman of the local county commission to wear a mask during the speech, which would have followed the state's coronavirus requirements.
"It's been ordered by the governor," said Dave Plyler, the Republican chairman of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in North Carolina, do as the governor says."
Several thousand supporters gathered near the control tower of the Smith Reynolds Airport hours before Trump arrived – some sitting in folding chairs and others lining barriers around the podium with little chance of seeing anything more than a brief glimpse of the president. Campaign volunteers handed out signs that read "Evangelicals for Trump" and "this is a peaceful protest."
Unlike some of Trump's rallies in the COVID era, the one organized in Winston-Salem was fully outdoors.
Three large risers were set up behind the podium, ensuring the crowd would make its way into the camera frames behind the president. Elsewhere, though, supporters sat at ground level as prop planes buzzed overhead. Very few supporters — maybe one in 50 — had donned a mask.
"It's been a crazy year, hasn't it? It's been one alarm after another," said Carl Horstkamp, a 50-year-old Winston-Salem man who was attending his first rally Tuesday.
Horstkamp, who works for a manufacturing company, said he felt businesses in the state were compelled to close too quickly in response to the coronavirus, and that those closures had hurt the economy.
"I think people are really looking for a return to normal," Horstkamp said. "It's hard to feel confident about the future when you're not sure what's going to happen next week."
It was an argument many Trump supporters here raised: That the media was overstating the risk of the virus and that policymakers had responded too aggressively. Some saw it as an effort to discredit Trump and undercut the strong economy he had hoped to tout as a centerpiece of his reelection campaign.
"I believe that the country is divided by the media," said Dylan Phillips, a Winston-Salem man who said he supports Trump for reelection because he has "backbone."
"He's not so spineless as other people," Phillips said. "We have a lot of leadership in the country…that cave to what big money wants."
People wait for the arrival of President Donald Trump before a campaign rally at Smith Reynolds Airport on September 8, 2020 in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
The North Carolina Democratic Party attacked Trump for not respecting COVID restrictions, including the wearing of masks.
"North Carolina has recorded more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases today so far," the party said in a Twitter post. "Ahead of Trump's rally tonight, even the local Republican County Commissioner says there's 'no excuse' for the president to not wear a mask. Will he put public health first?"
Doug Heye, a Republican strategist and Winston-Salem native said Trump's criticism of COVID restrictions is part of an overall effort to appeal to his conservative base.
"Despite so many indications that suburban voters, especially suburban women, may decide the election, Trump makes clear his strategy to maximize his base above all else," Heye said. "There is a smaller universe of persuadable voters this time and Trump is not going to try. This is all about motivation."
The president's campaign rally comes three weeks before the first of three presidential debates between Trump and Biden on Sept. 29 in Cleveland.
Earlier on Tuesday Trump told reporters he planned to ramp up his travel schedule as Nov. 3 draws near.
"We're going to Florida. We're going to North Carolina. We're doing a double stop. We'll be doing some triples along the way, but right now we're, sort of, in the earlier stages," he said.

"YuYu Hakusho", SNS and fashion in Milan
Author AFFECTUS
The arrival of the collection season. From the Milan and Paris FW21 collection, this time it features Milan Men's.
Human multifacetedness revealed by SNS
Many of you probably know the manga "Yu Yu Hakusho." The manga is written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi, which supported the golden age of "Weekly Shōnen Jump" in the 1990s, the serialization ended in 1994. However, it is still popular even after more than 35 years. In December 2020, a live-action series of "Yu Yu Hakusho" was announced on Netflix to prove its popularity, and Japan's proud manga was transmitted to the world.
I like one of the characters Shinobu Sensui that appeared in "Yu Yu Hakusho" (I'm curious who will play it in the live-action show). I refrain from giving details to those who have not read this manga. Let me tell you that it is fascinating that Shinobu Sensui has a multifaceted nature, his perspective and words spoken from that multifacetedness have the appeal of declaring its actions as evil.
Human beings cannot be described in one word. It's not just about the world of manga, but it's also true today, where we live. TikTok should now be added to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I'm assumed there are few people who spend their modern life without using any of these SNS. I think it is rare, especially in the young generation.
However, as I experience SNS, I gradually become aware of it. The world view is felt as if the SNS itself has a personality, and users are required to behave in a way that suits the world of the SNS. The world view is different between Twitter and Instagram, and you can feel the difference in the posts sent by users. For example, I use both Instagram and Twitter, but the world of Instagram feels so dazzling to me that I spend an overwhelming amount of time on Twitter.
On the other hand, many users enjoy the world of both Twitter and Instagram, and SNS has revealed the multifaceted nature of human beings and proved that it is interesting content. It's no wonder those who like tranquil and beautiful landscape photography love horror movies that have cruel horror-struck one after another. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone dressed like a "Craig Green" constructal clothes today who hated avant-garde clothes until yesterday (whether it's available on the market or not). Inconsistent ー that exactly what human beings are.
It was SNS that made it interesting to reveal one's multifacetedness so that one person has multiple personalities. I also feel this phenomenon of realizing in the world of fashion. I would like to mention two brands that were announced at the FW21 Milan Men's Collection.
Invisible trends appear
A phenomenon that seems to have begun to reveal another personality that one person had hidden. The first time I felt the phenomenon appeared in the fashion scene was FW20 Men's season. It's not big enough to be called a big wave. But it certainly feels. What kind of phenomenon is that it announces a design in the opposite direction to the design that symbolizes the brand.
At first glance, there is no sense of unity that can be called a trend. For example, a brand specializing in minimal design shifts to a design that pushes decorativeness to the front. And a brand specializing in printing and embroidery shifts to an undecorated design with color development centered on gray and beige. This is because they are different in appearance.
However, when I focus on the phenomenon of "design shift in the opposite direction," it brings a sense of unity. For the past few years, as I continued to observe and consider the fashion scene, I felt a mysterious feeling about the phenomenon that appeared in the SS21 Men's collection. It can be called an invisible trend.
Why they change their signature design? Moreover, to the opposite vector. The question that remains in me draws attention to the brand that has been riding the wave of the phenomenon. The mystery always attracts people's hearts.
Samuel Ross begins the game with silhouette and style
"A-COLD-WALL" has moved from London to Milan since the SS21 season, which I felt the scent of the future and the street from the first time I saw it. The collection presented by designer Samuel Ross during the London era is an image of a young man who has time-leaped from the future to the present, wearing modern streetwear and walking around the city, keeping the sensibilities cultivated in the future.
When Ross moves to Milan, he shifts his iconic street style. From the futuristic street style to a contemporary tailored style with a clean taste. It was a surprising change. Perhaps some fans of "A-COLD-Wall" have doubts about this change in Ross. It's no wonder you're wondering about the changes that abandon your style.
But I was feeling the evolution of Ross's changes. The intricate details shown in London have been suppressed, the sophistication of the silhouette of the clothes has been refined, and the chic beauty that combines the sophisticated silhouettes blends in with the scent of workwear, ending in a mere tailored style. A man who grew up on the streets of London had the skills to show off his elegance in Milan. I was very excited about the surprise.
And then, Ross shows further evolution. At the FW21 collection held in Milan last month, he unveiled a design that mixes the old style of the London era with the new style of "A-COLD-WALL" that he showed last season.
A-Cold-Wall Men's FW 2021
It emerged a style with a stronger street color and workwear scent than in the SS20 season while inheriting the chic beauty shown last time in black and white monotone colors. The number of tailored jackets themselves has been reduced from the previous time. Dyeing the street style of "A-COLD-WALL" with elegance, Ross has re-evolved into a style that was once left behind.
I don't know why he changed the design now. Did he feel the trend from street to elegance, keep up with the times and update his own design, choosing Milan as the right place for the new style? Was there such a strategic design? This will remain a mystery unless I interview with Ross.
However, in Ross's challenge, who boldly changed the symbolic design that raised his reputation, I felt that it was a fashion spirit that challenged newness. The time would come when the designer would be challenged to renew even his own sensibility.
"Sunnei" also abandons its favorite style
And there is a brand in Milan that shows even more mysterious changes than "A-COLD-WALL." "Sunnei" by the designer duo of Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo.
It was four years ago that I first got to know about "Sunnei." Their FW17 collection is a clean and boy style worn by intelligent and elegant boys. However, I was impressed by the fact that it had a strong habit that was not limited to cleanliness. A boy who is repulsed by being said to be well-bred, hates to dress properly and neatly, intentionally puts an unbalanced look in volume and styling, and enjoys the appearance of people laughing at it. That was the impression I had of "Sunnei" for the first time.
Since then, I've been paying attention to the "Sunnei" collection, and the description of clean and pure has always come to mind. Nevertheless, This "Sunnei" also shows a change to abandon the clean and boy style that should be a characteristic. It started in the SS21 collection; this FW21 season is even more mysterious.
Sunnei Men's FW 2021
Indeed, the colors are blue, green, and white, the form of the clothes is simple, and the styling is just as simple. Although these looks are beautiful and clean, they gave me a completely different feeling from the boy style.
Insanity lay deep inside him, who looked like a pure boy, and now it has awakened. However, in order to prefer simple and clean clothes, he had him create a "simple avant-garde" designed for his madness. Pure and crazy, simple and avant-garde ー a mysterious collection of contradictions was being shown.
I felt a slight embarrassment. The beautiful style based on the casual basic wear they showed us before should match one of the trends that the COVID-19 has made it more common to live indoors, relax, and elegant. But, as if ignoring such a trend, "Sunnei" changed their favorite style and began to take their own path.
Abandon the style that they are good at and shift to the opposite design. This invisible trend, which showed "Sunnei" as well as "A-COLD-WALL," may still be unpopular with fans. To be honest with me, the old style is much more attractive. On the other hand, the bright colors and simple form that are supposed to make you feel beautiful, these gave me an impression of an avant-garde atmosphere somehow; the opposite of them. I'm attracted to this distorted sensation and feel fresh. In other words, as a result, I take the change of "Sunnei" positively.
Fashion affirms that human beings have contradictions
When a brand gains popularity, it creates a unique style with strong originality. People are attracted to it and become fans of the brand. At one point, the brand may abandon the style that has been acclaimed by the brand and make new changes, moving away from the love of its fans. I strongly feel the phenomenon recently. I don't know if the changes of the times made it so, or if it was due to some change that happened to the designer himself, or both.
But now it attracts me as a quiet trend. And favorably.
I think human beings are contradictory creatures. It should not necessarily be summarized in one description. Human beings aren't that simple, and sometimes they're disappointed when they look different, and they're sure to be happy sometimes. "A-COLD-WALL" and "Sunnei" prove that human beings are multifaceted and interesting. And it seems to be a projection of the present age, which can be said to be the heyday of SNS.
When I got to know about the process by which Shinobu Sensui, who appeared in the "Yu Yu Hakusho" mentioned at the beginning, fell into the darkness, I was even more attracted to him. And in the story, it wasn't human beings who were able to snuggle up to his thoughts. It also attracts me to Shinobu Sensui.
Fashion beautifully expresses the contradictions what human beings have. Milan had the origin of fashion. It was the young designers who taught me that.
The collection scene moves to Paris. What kind of people do brands gathering in Paris express in fashion?

The San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Office announced May 16 that it is the first law enforcement agency in the County to begin carrying and administering Naloxone to those experiencing an opioid overdose.
Naloxone is a drug designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses by quickly restoring a person's normal respiration.
"It's been proven to save lives and we here at the Sheriff's Office are proud to be the first law enforcement agency in the County to provide this to all our Deputies on patrol," San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said.
San Luis Obispo County's opioid-related death rate was 13.3 people per 100,000 in 2016, as opposed to the national rate of 11.8 deaths per 100,000 people.
At the beginning of 2018, the County Emergency Medical Services Agency adopted a policy and protocol authorizing law enforcement officers to carry and administer Naloxone when necessary.
In early April, Naloxone kits were distributed to stations in the county and made available for law enforcement officers to carry.
"It's about saving lives," Emergency Medical Services Director for the County Public Health Department Vince Pierucci said.
This came after the San Luis Obispo Bangers Syringe Exchange received a state grant in August 2017 that allowed them to stock Narcan, the brand name of Naloxone. After these kits were made available in San Luis Obispo, the opioid overdose average in San Luis Obispo fell below the national average, though the number of opioid perscriptions has not.
While opioid overdose deaths are down in San Luis Obispo from their peak in 2016, opioid addiction and deaths remain a national and local crisis. President Donald Trump declared the opioid crisis a state of emergency in October 2017.
Naloxone is available to the public without prescriptions at pharmacies throughout San Luis Obispo County.


We're Excited With Our Redesign!
For the past few years, we've been helping teachers with our posts guiding you to contests, grants, giveaways and more avenues for possible free products for their classrooms.
The emails and social messages informing us of your "wins" are thrilling to receive.
We're constantly approached by businesses asking us to work with them because of the QUALITY of our readership. Remaining true to our readers, we turned down many opportunities that did not fit into our very narrow content.
Weighing those opportunities with you in mind, we've decided to change Penniless Teacher appealing to a wider audience but not abandoning our loyal readers. This is SCARY stuff for us. We don't want to lose you with these changes, rather offer you more opportunities along with topics that are not exclusively giveaway or contests. The changes will afford us greater appeal for larger campaigns offered by companies.
Teachers will find the same content they have come to expect by hovering EDUCATION and then selecting TEACHER in the navigation bar.
With this change, I've taken on a partner with more coming to expand our editorial team. My 9 year old niece is turning into a great little blogger. She is now providing her opinion and handiwork for blog posts on her own! Be still my heart!
Be sure to subscribe to our emails so you'll get notification of our new posts.
So, take the NEW Penniless Teacher out for a spin and let us know what you think. We're be rockin and rollin with a humdinger of a teacher post coming Sunday!
Hi…hmmm…I actually liked the way it was before…there were just your posts, specific to teacher/classroom needs, and I did not land on some other general contest website. I actually don't understand this redesign…too bad…to me, it was more helpful the "old way," if you will. But, I understand your need to expand.
Penny, I LOVE the new look! My whole classroom is beachy, but that is not really why I like the look. You put a lot of time and effort into updating your site, and it shows in a great way. Good luck for continued success and for giving teachers opportunities to gain new materials for our classrooms.

Friends, Trading, and Gifts Come to Pokémon GO!
An impressive new update to Pokémon GO allows you to make friends, send Gifts, and even trade Pokémon!
Get ready, Trainers! A big update has come to Pokémon GO, and it will change the way you play the game! The friends feature has gone live, allowing you to connect with your real-life friends and interact with them in a variety of exciting ways.
To become friends with another Trainer in Pokémon GO, simply enter their Trainer Code in your game. Trainer Codes are unique ID numbers given to each player, and once you enter a friend's code, they will be sent a Friend Request. If they accept it, you will become in-game friends, and you'll see them in your Friend List. Note that the Pokémon GO friends feature will not be active at launch for accounts registered to players who have identified themselves as under 13 years of age.
One way that you'll be able to play with your friends in Pokémon GO is by giving Gifts. When you spin a Photo Disc at a PokéStop or Gym, you have a chance of collecting a special Gift. Although you can't open these Gifts yourself, you can send them to someone on your Friend List. The Gifts contain a variety of helpful items and come with a postcard showing where the Gift was collected.
Gifts can also contain a special surprise: a special 7 km Egg that, when hatched, reveals an Alola form of a Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region!
Becoming friends with someone in Pokémon GO isn't just a static thing—you can increase your Friendship level with others by playing with them for several days in a row. Sending Gifts or participating in a Raid or Gym Battle with friends boosts your Friendship level as well, and as that level rises, bonuses can be unlocked. For example, if you and a Great Friend participate in a Gym or Raid Battle together, you can earn an attack bonus that gives your Pokémon an edge. You can increase your Friendship level once per day per friend.
There's another way to build your Friendship level, and that's by trading Pokémon! If you are near a friend and have a Trainer level of 10 or higher, you can trade Pokémon with them. Completing a trade earns a bonus Candy for the Pokémon you traded away, and that bonus can increase if the Pokémon the two of you trade were caught in locations far apart from each other.
All trades are powered by Stardust, and some trades require more Stardust than others. As your Friendship level with the friend you're trading with increases, you'll find that trades can be completed with much less Stardust.
Certain Pokémon, such as Legendary Pokémon, Shiny Pokémon, or Pokémon that are not currently in your Pokédex, require a Special Trade to complete. These Special Trades can only occur once per day with a Great Friend or Best Friend, and often require a lot of Stardust to complete.
With so many new ways to connect with your friends, you'll find that Pokémon GO has become even more exciting. Get out there and continue exploring, and make sure to swap Trainer Codes with other Trainers you meet during your journeys!

Spider-Man: Edge of Time first-look preview
By Brett Elston 05 April 2011
Two spider-men team up to save the day - and each other
When welast saw Spider-Man, he and three alternate spider-men had succesfully un-shattered their respective dimensions and saved the world yet again. Apparently everything in the Noir and Ultimate universes wrapped up quite nicely,while both Amazing and 2099 still have some lingering issues to deal with. Namely, the apparent death of Spider-Man and the complete corruption of time as we know it. Oops!
It all starts when a mad scientist travels from 2099 to present day, where hefoundsthe evil Alchemaxcorporationand starts a chain reaction that, among other things, leads to the death of present-day Spidey. Spider-Man 2099 escapes the effects of the time change (so only he notices the suddenshift in reality), then contacts Spider-Man to warn him of his impending doom. Thing is, for the moment, this alternate timeline is treating Peter Parker very well, so he doesn't believe some screaming Spidey wannabe from the future. Nevertheless, Parker does infiltrate Alchemax to stop any shenanigans, and that's where our demo kicks in.

Throughout the game you alternate play as Amazing and 2009 Spider-Men, with one appearing in a picture-in-picture display in the corner every so often to request aid in their timeline. For example, while playing as Amazing, 2099 will say he's pinned down bya giant robot. Your goal as Amazing Spidey is to find the prototype for said robot in present day and dismantle it, which, through the magic of time travel, makes 2099's robot menace transform into a different, less imposing enemy.
This "cause and effect" gameplay is said to be a cornerstone of Edge of Time, where the two Spideys are in constant communication. While playing as Amazing Spider-Man, 2099 will make requests and, once they're handled, his future changes for the better. Conversely, as 2099 you'll see entire walls or enemies disappear or change mid-game, as Amazing is back in the past getting into trouble. We only saw a few basic instances of this gameplay feature (a dead end hallway became a new pathetc), but the concept is cool and could lead to some interesting level designs.

Outside of this new premise, the fundamentals looked rather similar to Shattered Dimensions; combat, character animations and the linear, tunnel-like levels were all reminiscent of last year's Spidey title. There are a couple of new wrinkles, such as 2099's holographic decoy power that can distract enemies, but for the most part Edge of Time looks like a tweaked and upgraded sequel instead of brand new idea. But why revisit just ONE of Shattered Dimensions' four playable universes? Well, that's one of the questions I asked in this interview with creative director Gerard Lehiany:
Edge of Time launches this fall, presumably in the same September area as Shattered Dimensions. We'll likelylearn more (including which villains made the cut) during June's busy E3 week.
