It has been observed that roughly 3 out of 4 antibacterial bars and soaps contain triclosan which is a certain type of drug previously used in hospital premises. The usage of triclosan in other products like hand wash and gels is yet to be verified and proven safe. Due to lack of proper evaluation there have been a number of instances where antibacterial soap has done more harm than good. Here are a few reasons why you must reconsider using antibacterial soap:
1. It creates bacterial resistance
Triclosan is closely associated with a number of health issues, bacterial resistance being the chief among them. Repeated usage of antibacterial soap can promote the growth of antibiotic resistant bacteria. It might effectively terminate regular bacteria but it is basically useless against the resistant bacteria. The bacteria resistant formula present in these hand washes might cause complications in the long run.
2. It can potentially disrupt endocrine functions
Triclosan has a close resemblance to the thyroid hormone and hence can tip off its receptor sites. This occurrence can lead to major complications like artificially induced early puberty, fertility issues, obesity and sometimes even cancer. Hence it can be said that antibacterial soaps should be avoided in order to prevent such far reaching side effects.
3. It can cause serious health problems in children
Triclosan present in certain hand wash can adversely affect the development of the immune system in children. At a growing age, children develop natural resistance to certain diseases. Prolonged use of antibacterial hand wash and soap can diminish their exposure to bacteria and obstruct the proper development of their immune system. Therefore it is safer to use normal soaps instead which are as effective and do not contain triclosan.
4. It is extremely harmful for the environment
Prolonged and regular usage of hand wash containing triclosan would in turn increase the amount of this drug that gets flushed through the drainage. Triclosan is generally left untreated in the sewage treatment plants which later enters the water bodies and disrupts the food chain since it primarily affects the growth of algae. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor and ask a free question.

Pregnancy is a thrilling time period for every woman, but at times things can go wrong and turn out to be scary due to certain complications. Pregnancy Induced Hypertension or Preeclampsia is a high blood pressure disorder of pregnancy. It is a major problem that occurs in women during their pregnancy and it has an effect on nearly 7% of the first-time mothers. The Pregnancy Induced Hypertension causes serious complications and in severe cases, it is dangerous for the baby as well as the mother. Pregnant women suffering from this condition are induced with labor early if they suffer from PIH or pregnancy
The Three levels of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension include:
- Only high blood pressure
- High blood pressure and protein in urine or swelling
- High blood pressure, protein in urine, convulsions and swelling
Common Symptoms of Preeclampsia:
The main symptoms that occur are:
- Blurred vision
- Upper right Abdominal Pain
- Swelling in the Face and Hands
- Infrequent Urination
- Rapid weight gain
The methods that are used to test Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
- Cold pressor test
- Rollover test
- Isometric handgrip tests
These tests are carried out in pregnant women during their 29th to 31st week of pregnancy. These Pregnancy Induced Hypertension tests when proved positive and the diastolic rise in pressure was found to be about 20 mmHg. The pressure observed was not more than 140/90 in women in any case of two consecutive occasions. These results specify that not any of these trouble free physiologic tests are of any application as a predictor of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension.
Preeclampsia occurs in women with a history of hypertension in parents, high proteinuria, BMI or Body Mass Index and family history of diabetes. It is by using a partial set of maternal characteristics that pregnant women are at an increased risk of developing Pregnancy Induced Hypertension.
The cure for this condition-preeclampsia is delivery and in many cases, doctors insist their patients go for a caesarian section. Sometimes the Doctors suggest for an early delivery as it includes an additional threat of loss to the mother to be due to prematurity.
The inflammatory disorder is characterized by anti-angiogenic protein in high levels and soluble forms like tyrosine kinase in the maternal circulation. It is very important that pregnant women adopt the process of self evaluation to safeguard from risk of high blood pressure. They must monitor their blood pressure from time to time as it would empower them to care for their pregnancy and reduce the chances of complications during pregnancy.

Guilty Gear Strive has announced the first character for the game’s Season 1 DLC, with a surprise release of the character Bridget.
Revealed at EVO 2022 today, Bridget will release for Guilty Gear Strive on the 8th of August in the US, meaning 9th for fans in Asia.
UPDATE: Given the reveal that Bridget is trans, this article has been edited with the character’s she/her pronouns.
The character sports a lot of her gimmicks from her last appearance in Guilty Gear X2, with yo-yo based combat including setups to keep your opponents guessing.
Here’s a description of Bridget’s playstyle, courtesy of Arc System Works:
Let’s Rock ! Bridget is the latest character to join the Guilty Gear -Strive- roster! Bridget is an all-rounder easy-to-pick-up fighter who combines long-range attacks, top mobility and tricky moves using a yoyo.
Bridget’s appearance in Guilty Gear Strive comes as simultaneously a huge surprise and none at all- the character is constantly in popularity polls for Guilty Gear, alongside other requested picks like Slayer and Johnny.
At the same time though, given his appearance in the story mode, many fans had expected the first character to be Sin Kiske.
Season 2 is bringing big changes to Guilty Gear Strive- they’ve announced that beta for the game’s cross-play would be starting soon, and the season started with a huge patch bringing big balance changes to the entire cast.

Chinese in America: "Honorary White" or "Forever Foreigner"?
By Min Zhou
The stereotype of the "honorary white" goes hand-in-hand with that of the "forever foreigner." Today, globalization and U.S.-Asia relations, combined with continually high rates of immigration, affect how Asian Americans are perceived in American society. Most of the historical stereotypes, such as the "yellow peril" and "Fu Manchu" have found their way into contemporary American life, as revealed in such highly publicized incidents as the murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese American mistaken for Japanese and beaten to death by a disgruntled white auto worker in the 1980s; the trial of Wen Ho Lee, a nuclear scientist suspected of spying for the Chinese government in the mid-1990s; the 1996 presidential campaign finance scandal, which implicated Asian Americans in funneling foreign contributions to the Clinton campaign; and most recently, in 2001, the Abercrombie & Fitch tee-shirts that depicted Asian cartoon characters in stereotypically negative ways-slanted eyes, thick glasses, and heavy Asian accents. Ironically, the ambivalent, conditional nature of white acceptance of Asian Americans prompts them to organize pan-ethnically to fight back- which consequently heightens their racial distinctiveness.
So becoming white or not is beside the point. The bottom line is: Americans of Asian ancestry still have to constantly prove they are truly loyal Americans."

By Carol Vaughn —
Gov. Ralph Northam in a press briefing Wednesday urged Virginians to download and use a new app, COVIDWISE, that can notify users if they have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The free app can be downloaded from both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
“Virginia is the first state in the nation to use this technology,” Northam said, calling the app “a really powerful tool in our toolbox.”
Northam and other officials who spoke at the briefing said the app does not track or store the user’s personal information, but uses Bluetooth low-energy technology, assigning random keys to positive cases.
COVIDWISE works by using random Bluetooth keys that change every 10 to 20 minutes. Devices that have the app installed will anonymously share these random keys if they are within close proximity for at least 15 minutes.
Each day, the device downloads a list of all random keys associated with positive COVID-19 results submitted by other app users and checks them against the list of random keys it has encountered in the last 14 days. If there is a match, COVIDWISE may notify the individual, taking into account the date and duration of exposure, and the Bluetooth signal strength which is used to estimate proximity.
Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 will be notified by a health department case investigator and will be given a unique numeric code. The code is entered into the app by the user and serves as verification of a positive report.
The app’s use is voluntary.
“You are in control; all of this is your choice,’ Northam said.
Go to covidwise.org for information.
“We know people are contagious before they show symptoms. This can really help us catch new cases early, before they spread as far,” Northam said, adding that getting notified by the app of contact with a person who tested positive “means you know to take action.”
“As COVID-19 cases continue to be identified across the Commonwealth, it is important for people to know whether they have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for the disease,” said Dr. Norman Oliver, state health commissioner.
“COVIDWISE will notify you if you’ve likely been exposed to another app user who anonymously shared a positive COVID-19 test result. Knowing your exposure history allows you to self-quarantine effectively, seek timely medical attention, and reduce potential exposure risk,” he said, adding, “The more Virginians use COVIDWISE, the greater the likelihood that you will receive timely exposure notifications that lead to effective disease prevention.”
Northam noted the state’s positivity rate is holding steady at 7.2% and the seven-day trend in the eastern region is leveling off, hovering at around 10% positivity, after the region saw cases increase in recent weeks.
“We can’t let up on our efforts to get the numbers down,” he said.
Additionally, Northam announced Virginia is joining with six other states — Maryland, Michigan, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Ohio, and North Carolina — to negotiate with two companies, Becton Dickinson and Quidel, to purchase FDA-approved rapid antigen tests, which give results in 15 to 20 minutes.
Each state wants to purchase 500,000 tests.
“This is another way that the states are leading America’s national response to COVID-19,” Northam said.
The bipartisan, multi-state coalition should result in increased purchasing power, according to Northam.
“The people in our states want to see action and together we’re delivering,” he said.
The rapid tests will help because current delays in getting test results make it more difficult to trace contacts and mean people who have been tested must quartantine while they wait days for their result.
“This is about expanding testing and saving you money,” Northam said.
Pastor Keith Jones of Shiloh Baptist Church in Norfolk spoke at the briefing about a collaborative effort by faith and community leaders along with the Norfolk Health Department to create a video and otherwise get the word out to at-risk communities about COVID-19 testing.
The effort came about after the health department starting in April contacted more than 700 residents of public housing in an attempt to spread the word about the need to get tested for the virus if they had symptoms.
Only four people requested testing after that effort, Jones said.
The video, which was shown during the briefing, shows a number of pastors and other community leaders getting a COVID-19 test and talking about the need to get tested.
Jones said a group of leaders have been meeting regularly to share information during the crisis.
“Our question was how do we care for a community that has been chronically underserved” and as result has “an age-old mistrust” of health care, Jones said.
Pastors have spoken about testing from their pulpits and testing has been conducted at churches, which Jones called “places of trust.”
Around 1,188 people have been tested in the area since the initiative began.
Northam said the Hampton Roads initiative “will be a model for the rest of Virginia.”
Northam said one person in Lancaster County died as result of Tropical Storm Isaias.
Suffolk, Courtland, Lancaster County, and Gloucester County were particularly hard hit, he said.
The National Wealther Service has confirmed four tornadoes in the state during the storm.
The Virginia National Guard staged 80 soldiers and 30 vehicles in preparation for storm response, Northam said.
Dominion Energy said Isaias was one of the top 10 storms the company has dealt with in terms of power outages, according to Northam.
“This is just the first storm of the hurricane season,” he said, urging Virginians to be prepared for future storms.

With the season-ending knee injury suffered by Oriol Romeu against Sunderland last weekend, signing a central midfielder in January would appear to be a priority for Chelsea in January’s transfer window.
The Blues were already short in that area of the pitch, having allowed Michael Essien to move on a season-long loan to Real Madrid and new boss Rafael Benitez is now likely to push for reinforcements.
Against Monterrey in the semifinals if the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday, David Luiz was pushed forward into a midfield role but, although the Brazilian acquitted himself well, it remains to be seen whether he can be considered a long-term option in that position.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea could well get an up-close look at one of their leading targets in the Final of the competition in Japan, when they take on Corinthians and midfielder Paulinho.
The Brazil international has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for some time and could well be seen as the kind of box-to-box midfielder to replace Frank Lampard.
The 24-year-old recently suggested that he was happy to remain at the Copa Libertadores winners, although that may change should a significant bid arrive for his services next month. Paulinho is also likely to be favorable toward a move to Chelsea by the Brazilian contingent already in place at Stamford Bridge in international teammates Luiz, Ramires and Oscar.
Lampard, who has been linked to the L.A. Galaxy, is widely expected to leave when his contract expires in the summer. Chelsea may also need to replace Ashley Cole, who has been linked with a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Daily Star has listed Marcelo as a potential replacement for Cole, with Real Madrid said to have let Chelsea know that the 24-year-old would be available for £25 million.
The Brazil international, lauded for his attacking abilities, moved to the Bernabeu in 2007, but has had to vie for the left-back slot with Fabio Coentrao in recent times. Marcelo is currently sidelined until next month with a broken metatarsal.
Chelsea are also said to be looking to Spain for Malaga attacking midfielder Isco. Spanish publication AS claims that Chelsea, along with Manchester United and Manchester City, are all eagerly pursuing the 20-year-old starlet who has earned rave reviews, particularly for his performances in the Champions League this season.
Isco currently has a release clause of just €21 million (£17 million), meaning he could well be ripe for the picking in January. With that in mind, Malaga are eager to offer the Spain Under-21 international a new contract with a higher buyout clause of €40 million (£32.5 million), according to AS.
Given that Chelsea already have a trio of attacking midfielders whom appear to prefer a central position in Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard, a move for Isco would seem to make little sense at this point.

Facebook is starting to expand Brand Collabs Manager (BCM) to include Public Groups in a bid to help communities collaborate with brands.
Back in the summer of 2018, Facebook launched its Brand Collabs Manager – a search engine for brands to find creators, and a platform for creators to promote themselves. Over the last two years, the Brand Collabs Manager has expanded geographically and is now even available to some Instagram creators. Now, Facebook is bringing BCM to Public Groups as well.
Related | Facebook Announces New Tools For Groups
Brand Collabs Manager is a marketplace that allows brands to easily connect with creators to help promote their products and services, so it makes total sense to open up to Public Groups. Apart from collaborating with creators to help increase engagement, creators themselves (and public figures) can get discovered for paid partnerships and monetize their Facebook or Instagram presence.
Furthermore, brands will be able to connect with audiences that are relevant to them, in the spaces that people really trust and actively engage with. Group admins will be able to earn money as part of their work running engaged communities.

This is the first Family album and a masterpiece of the post Sgt-Pepper era. The album was released at the height of the British hippie scene. This first album demonstrated Family's dramatic sound. It's a neat trick to intermingle progressive rock with psychedelia and write songs that are appealing and original. Every track is laudable. What gets Family of the launching pad is talent: a lead singer who sounds like no one else, a guitar player adept at an amazing collection of styles and two multi-instrumentalists who brought in instruments not usually heard in a rock band. At the time this was real cutting edge music. However if this record was released today it would surely draw a lot of interest from all of us music heads.
Anyway”is a stupendous album. It's divided into a live side and a side featuring some amazing studio work. It's hard to describe Family's music since it's so astonishingly eclectic, but these guys pull it off. Side one starts with the seven minute "Good News-bad news" a monster rhythm section driving Roger Chapman's lions roar voice. Right in the middle of the tune there is a vibe solo worthy of two very special jazz musicians: Bobby Hutcherson and Milt Jackson. "Willow tree"is a solid and very pretty jazz piece. There's no jazz rock here, Famiy delivers the real product.
"Holding the compass" and "Strange Band" round out the the side and the group brings a violin into the mix. Side two lowers the decibels and other than "In in my own time" the songs slide into a peaceful suite. As with all of Family's music every album is unique. I hadn't heard "Anyway" in quite a long time when I reviewed it, but it wound up on my turntable for over a week. Though attractive, the cover lists nothing about the band nor the song titles. I'm not sure this is the best way to market an extraordinary album. Unless you are familiar with the band you really don't have any idea what it is. You can find the band performing "In my own time" on you tube. Our advice, Get This Record. We at Vinyl History give it our highest recommendation. Family "Anyway" has been discontinued by the manufacturer of the CD, but it's well worth hunting down.
Totally seamless set of short songs which we think are the high water mark in their canon. This is signature Family, heavy and full of power and passion. From the opening chords of "Between Blue and me" To the fade of "Burning Bridges" the listener is drawn into their world.
Fearless is the most English of the Family output, but we are not referencing the Kinks. Picture yourself in a British pub on a cold night hoisting a pint by the fire. The songs: "Sat'dy Barfly", the gorgeous acapella "Larf and Sing" and "Spanish Tide" are unforgettable. Vocals are shared by Charlie Whitney, John Wetton, And Roger Chapman.
For the unfamiliar, we note that Roger Chapman's vocals can flatten the ears of small mammals. Poli Palmer Adds some enticing vibes and Rob Townsend Pushes it all along with tasty percussion.
There isn't a throwaway, and the original record has a booklet style gate fold cover. This is great vinyl to search out but if you must go the CD route Amazon's vendors carry it. However you do it, You've got to hear this music
More progressive rock with a rhythm section that cooks. You can't have an album of this caliber without great songwriting. Though the vocals are somewhat softer, Family is capable of crafting ingenious, colorful arrangements and this record has the wide sweep and grandeur heard on Fearless.
The original vinyl issue has a gate fold cover of a television set, which can be opened to to view the inside parts. Highly Recommended

It's been a "roller coaster" for the owners of Shuford's Smokehouse since late last month, when the restaurant faced a wave of social media harassment after it took a nearly $1,000 order to provide food during a rally in support of law enforcement.
Janice Williams, who helped organize the rally on June 27, said she gathered donations from other law enforcement supporters to place the order for 250 sandwiches and 250 chips.
"The people that were volunteering and wanted to show support wanted to provide meals for the officers," she said. "We were going to purchase the meals."
"We've done orders like that before," said Madison Davis, manager and daughter of Shuford's business owner Jeff Davis. "An insurance company bought some for like the hospital back during COVID ... so we didn't think literally anything of it."
But when word spread that the barbecue restaurant had taken the order, local activists took to social media to incorrectly state that the restaurant was hosting the rally. The activists have been protesting police brutality since the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The smaller "back the blue" rally on June 27 was a reaction to the Floyd protests.
"Shuford's Smokehouse is racist. They are mocking the movement and awarding brutality of black people by police by feeding them today and having a Blue Lives Matter rally," activist Cameron "C-Grimey" Williams, a leader of the local George Floyd protest movement, wrote on Facebook.
At the time the post was made, several people commented saying they would be leaving bad reviews on the restaurant's Facebook page.
"Bad reviews will shatter their 4.7 stars," one woman wrote.
Davis said the business was getting harassed via Facebook, Instagram and phone calls. They ultimately canceled the order and shut down the restaurant's social media accounts. Davis said they called police to request extra patrols at both of their locations — in Chattanooga and Red Bank — after someone threatened to burn down the Signal Mountain Road location, though that threat could not be verified.
Cameron Williams has since said his movement does not condone unprovoked violence.
The Signal Mountain Road location is used only to smoke the meat, Davis said, as it has been closed to the public after a mudslide leveled the business next door last year. She said they just obtained permits to start building a retention wall.
"That's why, whenever someone threatened to burn it, we canceled the order because we did not want to risk losing that building because we have literally been working for about a year just trying to get those permits," she said.
"People are like, 'Oh, you're a coward for canceling your order.' If you had known what we've been through the past year just trying to get that building back up and running, you would have probably canceled it, too."
Davis said that, after the initial backlash from protesters, "once word got out what was going on, people really supported us."
"But then at the same time, a lot of people were calling us cowards, and that they weren't gonna do business with us because ... we don't serve the police, which was totally false. But now since it's made national news, we are so busy ... We got people calling from all over the country wanting to just donate money to us. And just to say they support us."
The news was picked up by multiple conservative media outlets after U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, weighed in on the issue.
"I think that it's just awful that there are threats that are made against them, their physical safety," Blackburn told reporters in a recorded phone call on Wednesday. "There are threats that are made against them against their home, simply because they filled an order that was placed with them.
"It is a concern when you have groups that think they can shut a business down simply because they don't agree with the way that business is run. It is a legal business that is operating in that community," Blackburn added.
On Thursday, Cameron Williams told the Times Free Press, "ICantBreatheCHA as a movement does not condone unprovoked violence against others, and it's sad what efforts people will go through to slander a group who they clearly want to silence while they profit off our cooking traditions."

New players at Vegas Casino will receive their hands on some of their favorite bonuses all year round by claiming one of their new player welcome bonus offers. These special offers are geared towards new players and let you receive a 100% first time bonus up to a maximum of $1,200 on the first two deposit amounts you make. To ensure you get the maximum bonus amount, be sure to make all your deposits before the bonus period ends. The more you play, the larger your initial deposit amount will be, and the bigger your bonus will be.
It is important to understand the actual terms and conditions of these offers in order to fully benefit from them, as well as understanding the wagering requirements. For each online casino bonus you can receive a varying number of free spins on your favorite games, as well as either one free spin or two free spins after your deposit. The maximum number of free spins you receive is dependent on the wagering requirements you have chosen.
There is no limit on the number of casino bonus offers that players can qualify for, and they are not restricted to specific games. This means you could qualify for a maximum of five free spins on any one game. Once you have qualified for your deposit bonus, you will be eligible for the same number of spins on every single game offered. In effect, the more you play, the more you will be rewarded.
Each casino offering promotions of this nature aims to reward and encourage loyal customers. The higher the percentage of players that keep coming back, the more successful the casino will become. That is why casinos often offer a bonus to new customers as part of their incentive program. They want their customers to come back and not only be a repeat customer but to actually become a valued customer.
Many online casino bonus offers are designed to be very easy to qualify for. The bonuses may require a deposit of a specific amount, or they may require no deposit required. The only requirement that seems to restrict the maximum wagering requirements is the minimum account balance. That can vary from one casino to another, so it is worth doing some research to find the requirements that apply to you.
You should also take a close look at the wagering requirements before applying for any bonus. Some require a minimum opening account balance, others may not. Again, do some research to make sure the casino promotions you are interested in are actually going to require a minimum balance. Remember, you do not have to pay any deposits to participate in casino promotions. Some may require you to make a deposit, others may not. Before accepting any bonus, make sure you are actually going to be eligible to receive it.
The wagering requirements are also a good way to learn more about the casino games offered. Most promotions will give you a bonus for making deposits in certain casino games. However, some other promotions will give you a bonus for depositing in other casino games. Find out what kind of bonuses you are getting with each promotion. For example, some casinos will give you a bonus for depositing in a particular casino game, while others will not.
These are just a few of many things to take into consideration when choosing a casino. Be sure to do your homework before choosing a site to play games. Look at the bonuses and the wagering requirements. Also, keep in mind that the terms and conditions of each offer may differ slightly from others.

There's no real overarching plot to this game, it's basically just a series of episodic levels, called scams. There are six total scams, including two bonus levels which are unlocked if you're able to find hidden pieces of clothing. None of the levels are particularly challenging, but a lot of your objectives are, unfortunately, unclear to a confusing degree. Aside from those few moments that will have even veteran gamers scratching their heads, the game does have some decent gameplay elements a kid could really enjoy.
The game allows you to switch between Ed, Edd and Eddy on the fly, and they all have special abilities. Eddy, the leader, can throw stink bombs, sling his yo-yo, and form a tower consisting of him and his three teammates to reach high objects. Ed, the idiot tall one, can slam his head into the ground, dig in sandboxes, throw heavy objects, and form a battering ram with the other Eds. Edd, the smart one with the hat, can manipulate objects and switches in the environment, fire his slingshot, and get hoisted up by his teammates to reach higher ledges. As you progress through this extremely short game, you'll find that each level requires you to use each skill quite frequently.
Though the beginning levels give you a short of tutorial about where to use each skill, you'll quickly find yourself on your own. Afterwards, the challenge of the game is figuring out exactly which skill to use in which situation. So, in the haunted house level, it may take you a while to figure out how to get a can of grease to drop out of a picture frame. After what seems like a countless amount of time, you may eventually find that you needed to use Eddy's tower ability to grab an urn off a cabinet and put it on a shelf. Similarly, in one of the later levels you'll need to traverse a muddy bog. Using Edd's slingshot you'll knock down planks to help you get safely across. However, there will be one point where you'll continue to fall into the water, and you'll have to almost accidentally figure out that you needed to boost Edd up to a trailer roof and use his board to knock down a tire onto a tarp to help you get across.
Aside from these annoying points, the game has a decent amount of variety despite its brief length. You'll play sequences where you'll need to beat a timer, race opponents, or even stealth past town residents. These stealth sequences are suspiciously similar to Metal Gear Solid, requiring you to hide under boxes and putting question marks over the head of those you're trying to evade when they notice you. Nonetheless, it adds a nice variety to the gameplay, though not much depth.
Still, this is a children's game, and as such it works pretty well. There are tons of collectibles to gather, including jawbreakers, chicken eggs that unlocks special game modes like Big Heads, and the costumes that unlock hidden levels. One of the hidden levels, Edzilla, was actually a lot of fun despite its simplicity. It gives you control of Ed as a fictional monster, and he needs to destroy all the buildings in a city while taking out tank manufacturing plants.
Graphically, the game captures the style of the TV show to an accurate degree with well animated, cel-shaded character models and cartoony backgrounds. Unfortunately there isn't a huge enemy variety, mostly rats, spiders, and squirrels. Too many of the environments look almost exactly the same, save for a few levels, and there is strange graphical flickering in some places. Also, you'll notice loading issues. There's no transition between indoor and outdoor environments. One second you're approaching a door, the next you're outside, which is disorienting for sure. The game unfortunately suffers from imprecise collision detection which strips away any strategy to the combat. To kill enemies, the best strategy is just to charge forward while slamming the attack button.
Though there's little to be heard, the sound is pretty good. Each level's music track is a subdued saxophone arrangement which fits with the shows main, whistling theme. The character voices can be hilarious at times, especially Ed's proclamation that he's just like a woodpecker, except with dirt, or his "Dig a hole, dig a hole," expression when he's clawing sand. The problem is each character only has around two or three things they'll say as you go through levels. You're definitely going to get sick of Double D calling out, "My, my, intriguing!" every time he manipulates a mechanical device. Given how there's voice work throughout each cut scene, it would have been a welcome addition to include more of it in the regular gameplay.
In terms of characters, you'll find most of the regulars here, including the Kankers as your main opposition. You'll also run into Jimmy, Jonny and Plank, Rolf, and Sarah, who all also take part in the animated cut-scenes. They mostly function to give you quests within the game's levels. Unfortunately, many of these quests are annoying, especially the timed basketball tossing quest, which you might actually break your controller trying to complete. It wouldn't be an issue if the camera wasn't so slow to respond. Also, your character's walking speed takes a while to get to full bore, and under a timer this turns into a problem.

Here is where my brain goes when I think of tranquil, the sounds of a light breeze through the leaves, next to still, calm waters.
I missed day 1, because I chose to colour a piece that did not need colour.
Brush Pen, Copic Markers, White Gel Pen
Attempted one of those adventure things, it was supposed to be darker and spookier, but my love of bright, vibrant colours betrayed me.
Kuretake Brush Pens, Pentel Sign Pen, 0.3 mm Pigment Liner
A bathroom, with a tub I’d like to own one day. Even when using a ruler I still cannot manage to draw straight lines. Also trying to draw inside spaces since I’m terrible at them.
FW Acrylic Ink, Dr. P.H. Martin’s White Ink, Kuretake Brush Pens, Water.
My heart wasn’t really in it today. She did turn out okay considering I used not watercolour appropriate paper.
Kuretake Brush Pens, White Gel Pen, FW Ink, and 0.5 mm Micron Pen
Aside from needing to learn to take better photos, plus making a better attempt at backgrounds, this turned out nicely. I also gave her the outfit I normally wear to run errands, minus the hat and boots (I’m typically found in pointy patent flats). Also I’m going to pretend her hat is extra large to accommodate her massive amount of hair 😉
Kuretake Brush Pens, Water, FW Ink, White Gel Pen.
It’s really difficult trying to put out a drawing every day. I went through 4 different drawings before I was finally able to create this, and I’m only slightly pleased with it.

Who is Robert Edward Lee? Information on early life, biography, civil war and postwar life of Robert Edward Lee. Robert Edward Lee life story.
Robert Edward Lee;(1807-1870 ) general of the Confederate armies in the American Civil War. One of the truly gifted commanders of all time, he was a near-genius in divining precisely what his opponents were going to do and in reacting to those intuitions with force and daring. The affection of his soldiers was akin to hero worship. And his many military successes—in the face of seemingly overwhelming obstacles—have led writers to praise him as “one of the greatest, if not the greatest, soldier who ever spoke the English language.”
Lee was a product of the South’s most distinguished aristocracy. One of his forebears, Thomas Lee, was a royal governor of the Virginia colony. Two others, Francis Lightfoot Lee and Richard Henry Lee, were eminent statesmen of the Revolution. His father, Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee, was a brilliant cavalry leader in America’s war for independence.
Robert E. Lee, a fifth child, was born on Jan. 19, 1807, at the family home, “Stratford,’ in Westmoreland County, Va. While Lee was still an infant, heavy debts forced the family to move to a small house in Alexandria. There Lee spent his youth and received his early education. He was a serious-minded lad who enjoyed long hours in his father’s well-stocked library.
In 1825, Lee entered the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. Four years later he graduated second in his class and without a single demerit to blemish his record. Lee received his commission as a brevet 2d Lieutenant of Engineers and then served 17 months at Fort Pulaski, Ga. In 1831 he was transferred to Fort Monroe, Va. Shortly thereafter he married Mary Ann Randolph Custis, whose father was a grandson of Martha Washington. This union produced seven children. All three sons later served in the Confederate army, with two of them—George Washington Custis Lee and William Fitzhugh Lee—attaining the rank of major general.
During the period 1834-1837, Lee was attached to the U. S. Engineers office in Washington, D. C. His most noted service in that tour of duty was in surveying and defining the boundary between Ohio and Michigan. He also supervised engineering projects in St. Louis harbor and along the upper Mississippi River.
Mexican War and Other Service.
Lee first gained nationwide attention by his service in the Mexican War. He performed brilliantly as a bridge builder, scout, and army engineer. On the decisive Veracruz expedition, he was chief of staff to Gen. Winfield Scott, who praised Lee as “the very best soldier he ever saw in the field.” The Mexican War brought Lee three brevet promotions for gallantry and the deep and lasting friendship of his commander, General Scott.
Lee spent three years at Fort Carroll in Baltimore before his appointment in 1852 as superintendent of the U. S. Military Academy. As commandant of West Point he came to know well many of the budding officers who later fought beside and against him. In 1855 he was named lieutenant colonel of the elite 2d U. S. Cavalry. Six years of duty in Texas followed. For Lee, this was not a happy period. Long absences from his family were painful, particularly since his wife was becoming an arthritic invalid.
In 1857, Lee and his wife inherited the Custis estate on Arlington Heights overlooking Washington. (The mansion is now the central office for Arlington National Cemetery.) Lee was there on an extended furlough when, in October 1859, John Brown staged his raid on Harpers Ferry. Lee took command of a detachment of U. S. Marines tjiat succeeded in capturing Brown and the remnant of his force.
THE CIVIL WAR
The year 1861 was the most critical in U. S. history, for the Union dissolved in civil war. Lee found himself caught between opposing loyalties. On the one hand was the nation that he had faithfully served as a soldier for 35 years. On the other side was beloved Virginia, to which Lee owed his very heritage. Complicating the issue even further was Scott’s offer to Lee on April 18, 1861, to assume command of all federal forces.
Two days later, Lee made his fateful decision. He explained his action in a letter to his sister: “With all my devotion to the Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the army . . .”
Lee was then 54 years old. He was a strikingly handsome figure who stood five feet, ten inches tall and weighed about 170 pounds. His hair and full mustache were then black—although by 1863 they would be snow-white. Strongly compact and straight of posture, Lee had an aura of dignity that commanded both attention and respect. He abstained totally from the use of alcohol, tobacco, and profanity, and he practised his Episcopal faith on a daily basis. A private who fought under him thought that Lee “looked like some good boy’s grandpa,” and he added: “His whole makeup of form and person, looks and manner, had a gentle and soothing magnetism about it. I fell in love with the old gentleman.”
First War Duties.
Late in April 1861, Lee proceeded to Richmond and, at the invitation of Gov. John Letcher, took charge of all military and naval forces in Virginia. Lee demonstrated gifted powers of organization by molding scattered militia and volunteer units into a one-year provisional army and by systematizing procedures for quartermaster and commissary distribution.
Although Lee was appointed a full general in the Confederate army on June 14, 1861, arfull year would pass before he would take command of any large-scale military operations. His first assignment for the Southern nation was to supervise the scattered forces then defending western Virginia. Coordinating the movements of small armies under egotistical and jealous generals was a hopeless task. In the end, Lee was able to do little more than save these Confederate units from complete annihilation at the hands of larger, more efficient federal armies. The western counties in contention were soon lost to the enemy, and Lee returned to Richmond as a scapegoat for the reverses.
A short inspection tour of the defenses along the South Atlantic coast provided Lee with no opportunity for improving his reputation. President Jefferson Davis recognized his potential, however, and in March 1862 named Lee his chief military adviser. At first Davis sought the general’s advice only on minor matters. Lee proved a master diplomat by curbing his impatience for field command and by offering counsel only when it was requested. Through tactfulness and courtesy and through keeping the president fully informed of affairs, Lee avoided those clashes with the touchy Davis that ruined such generals as Joseph E. Johnston and P. G. T. Beauregard.
Lee’s brilliance as a military strategist began to emerge that spring. As Gen. George B. Mc-Clellan advanced up the Virginia peninsula with a seemingly invincible Union army of 121,000 men, Lee assisted General Johnston in strengthening the defenses of Richmond. Lee knew that the Confederates could never be the numerical equal of McClellan’s forces; yet a serious blow delivered elsewhere against the North might weaken McClellan’s position. Lee therefore conceived the plan of having Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson carry out heavy diversionary attacks in the Shenandoah Valley. This counter-strategy, known as the 1862 Valley Campaign, proved to be one of the most sterling movements in military history.
Johnston’s forces brought McClellan’s advance to a halt at the battle of Seven Pines (May 31-June 1), where Johnston fell seriously wounded. Lee was appointed to lead the Army of Northern Virginia. Thus began an association between general and soldiers that lasted the remainder of the war.
Always a master of the unexpected, Lee assumed command of an army that had been retreating for a month—and promptly made plans for a massive counterattack. Lee was an unwavering proponent of maximum concentration of forces against isolated segments of the enemy army. Seeing that McClellan’s right flank was dangerously exposed, Lee hurled his brigades against that flank in two battles—Mechanicsville and Gaines’s Mill—that opened the Seven Days Campaign (June 26-July 1). McClellan rapidly withdrew southward toward the James River. Only faulty staff work and the dereliction of subordinate commanders prevented Lee from winning a decisive victory. Yet with the neutralization of McClellan’s army, Richmond was temporarily spared from capture.
In mid-July, Lee received word that a new federal army under Gen. John Pope was massing along the Rapidan River in northern Virginia. Concluding that Pope was more likely to take the offensive than McClellan was to resume it, Lee dispatched Jackson’s divisions northward to meet the new threat. Lee followed with the remainder of his army when McClellan’s withdrawal from the peninsula became apparent.
Lee could not allow those two federal armies to unite and bring superior numbers to bear against him. He thus unfolded what became his basic offensive pattern throughout the war: a flanking movement by one segment of his army to divert attention, followed by smashing assaults from both front and flank. Such tactics worked to perfection at the battle of Second Manassas, or Second Bull Run (August 28-30). Pope’s army fled in panic back to Washington.
Battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg.
The moment was now opportune, Lee reasoned, to carry the war into the North. An invasion of northern territory might produce a decisive, war-ending victory; if not, such an offensive could prompt recognition—and aid—from England or France as well as secure Maryland for the Confederacy. In any event, Lee’s army in the North could obtain badly needed supplies while relieving Virginia momentarily of battle pressures. The plan conformed to Lee’s “offensive-defensive” strategy of confounding and dividing his foes by feints and actual movements against the North.
Early in September, Lee’s army splashed across the Potomac River into Maryland. McClellan, reacting desperately, rushed to block Lee’s move. On September 17, the two armies collided at Sharpsburg, Md. The resultant battle of Antietam was the bloodiest one-day engagement of the Civil War as total casualties on both sides exceeded 23,000 men. Lee was forced back to Virginia. When Abraham Lincoln used this battle as a basis for issuing his Emancipation Proclamation—thus elevating the war to a struggle for human freedom as well as for preservation of the Union—the South’s hopes for foreign aid and ultimate victory dimmed.
Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside shortly replaced McClellan as commander of the federal army of the Potomac. Early in December, Burnside pushed southward toward Richmond. Lee quick-y took an impregnable position at Fredericksburg and, in a December 13 battle, won possibly his most convincing victory. It was at the battle of Fredericksburg that Lee made his famous observation: “It is well that war is so terrible—else we would grow too fond of it.”
Battle of Chancellorsville.
Lee’s finest hour as a military strategist came five months later in a densely wooded area of Virginia known as the Wilderness. The federal army, 130,000 strong and then under Gen. Joseph Hooker, advanced southward in two wings, each of which was larger than Lee’s 60,000-man army. Hooker’s plan was to use his forces as a strong pincer and to destroy the Army of Northern Virginia through superior manpower and a 2-pronged attack.
The Confederate commander reacted with moves as dangerous as they were brilliant. Leaving a third of his army to confront Hooker’s left wing at Fredericksburg, Lee hastened westward to block the other federal contingent. He further divided his army by sending Jackson’s corps on a 14-mile (22-km) arc around Hooker’s vulnerable right flank. Then, in typical fashion, Lee struck Hooker’s isolated wing from two directions. The ensuing battle of Chancellorsville (May 1-4, 1863) exacted a total of 29,000 casualties on both sides, including the irreplaceable “Stonewall” Jackson, but Lee once more sent the federal army reeling in defeat.
Battle of Gettysburg.
Lee could not afford to waste the fruits of the Chancellorsville victory. Moreover, his men were desperately in need of supplies, the hope still prevailed for foreign recognition, and an invasion of the North now might force Gen. U. S. Grant to. relinquish his strangling siege of Vicksburg, the South’s last bastion on the Mississippi River. Accordingly, in mid-June, Lee’s 50,000 veterans again crossed the Potomac. Lee was staking everything on one bold thrust.
On this second invasion, however, everything went wrong for the Confederacy. Federal cavalry captured Confederate dispatches announcing Lee’s intentions for a northern movement. Thus the Army of the Potomac followed in close pursuit of Lee. Then Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, perhaps overly anxious to atone for a defeat at Brandy Station on June 9, rode off on a cavalry expedition (June 25-July 2) that left Lee with no reconnoitering force. On July 1, elements of Lee’s army accidentally met federals at Gettysburg, Pa., and the war’s most famous battle began.
The conflict lasted three days. The casualties en both sides totaled 43,000. Not one of Lee’s principal generals acted up to par. Lee himself was guilty of poor staff work, the failure to issue forceful and precise orders, and an overeagerness to continue assaulting strong positions manned by superior numbers. Lee assumed all responsibility for the stunning defeat. His army spent the next ten months guarding northern Virginia against any major federal intrusion.
Lee versus Grant.
The year 1864 brought face to facc, for the first time, the Civil War’s two best generals: Lee and Grant. As the North’s new general-in-chief, Grant resolved to wage a strategy of attrition—to press southward toward Richmond and to hammer unceasingly at Lee’s dwindling forces. The fighting that ensued was the heaviest and most sustained of the war.
Each commander tried to seize the initiative from the other. Yet after a costly victory at the battle of the Wilderness (May 5-6, 1864), Lee realized that his army was too weakened to be again an attacking force. He could only repel Grant’s assaults and hope that mounting federal casualties would lead Northern public opinion to force Grant’s withdrawal from Virginia. If the Army of Northern Virginia ever became pinned down in the defenses of Richmond, the days of that army—and of the Confederacy—were numbered.
Grant was not deterred by his high losses. At Spotsylvania (May 12), North Anna (May 19), and Cold Harbor (June 3), he launched massive attacks that, although unsuccessful, carried him nearer to Richmond while taking a high human toll from Lee’s army. The defensive moves employed by Lee during this campaign were flawless. He predicted and counteracted each of Grant’s thrusts, he masterfully used his interior lines of defense to maximum advantage, and his earthworks and gun emplacements were so skillfully spaced that “he elevated axe and spade to near-equality with musket and howitzer.”
Having failed to take Richmond by direct attack, Grant on June 12-16 shifted his army toward Petersburg, a vital rail junction south of the Confederate capital. Lee managed to keep his army between Grant and Richmond, but the fatal trap had been sprung: Lee was locked in the Richmond defenses. Grant was now content to iise siege operations, for such strategy would erode Lee’s army of its remaining strength.
The siege of Richmond and Petersburg was, for Lee’s ragged warriors, a 9-month ordeal of hunger, cold, disease, and constant federal pressure. An attempt by Lee to create a diversion by sending Gen. Jubal Early’s division on a raid against Washington came to nothing. Desertions mounted as morale sagged.
Last Days of the War. In February 1865, President Davis appointed Lee general-in-chief of all Confederate forces. Lee began planning for a union between his army and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston’s, then retreating through North Carolina in the face of Gen. William T. Sherman’s advance. By the spring of that year, Grant was ready for the final blow against Lee. It came on April 1 at Five Forks, and it shattered the thin Confederate defenses. Lee’s army retreated westward, with Grant in close pursuit. At Appomattox Court House, Lee found his march blocked by flanking federal cavalry. On April 9, 1865— Palm Sunday—Lee met with Grant and agreed to terms of surrender.
Lee submitted calmly to defeat and returned to Richmond as a paroled prisoner. For the first time in 40 years he was a private citizen. He received a number of lucrative offers in industry, but he accepted instead the presidency of impoverished Washington College at Lexington, Va.
In just a few months he brought such inspiring leadership and high scholarship to the school that it became known reverentially as “General Lee’s College.” Lee never ceased to do everything within his power to promote nationalism and brotherhood at a time when sectionalism and the bitterness of Reconstruction were prevalent. He died on Oct. 12, 1870, in Lexington and is buried in the chapel on the campus of what is now Washington and Lee University.
Robert E. Lee was pious and courteous as a person, bold and audacious as a general. In the words of Winston Churchill, he was “one of the greatest captains known to the annals of war.” Lee possessed the intellect to foresee enemy movements, the boldness to strike when the occasion presented itself, and the godlike character to inspire both devotion and sacrifice in the face of extreme hardships. Some critics have accused him of being too shortsighted in not seeing the Civil War beyond the boundaries of Virginia. Yet the defense of that state was always his primary responsibility. Other writers fault Lee for being overly combative at times, such as on the third day at Gettysburg. Still, it was this “fighting blood” in Lee that made opponents wary of confronting him. Possibly his greatest weakness was his extreme kindness and humility in dealing with subordinate officers who needed forceful and direct leadership.
Lee’s homes at Arlington and Stratford are now national shrines, and his statue is one of Virginia’s representatives in Statuary Hall of the U. S. Capitol. Through his noble character, Lee gave new life to the South—and to the nation.

You are familiar with the stats, but they’re worth repeating. In the U.S., we throw away 30 to 40 percent of our food while nearly 50 million Americans live in food insecure households. Healthcare expenses resulting from hunger and food insecurity cost the U.S. economy about $160 billion a year.
The impact on the environment is even more significant. As food waste breaks down anaerobically, it releases methane gas into the atmosphere. (Methane gas is 21 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.) The United Nation Food and Agriculture Organization stated that food waste represents more greenhouse gas emissions than any country in the world except for China and the United States.
With the big picture in mind, people are acting locally to address the waste-hunger paradox—a critical component of regional food system innovation. Efforts involve a broad spectrum of parties, from public and private enterprises to non-profit organizations to volunteers. At the heart of these initiatives is the innovative application of technology.
In her article for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette entitled “412 Food Rescue mobilizes volunteers with Uber-like app,” Dana Cizmas overviews how the Food Rescue Hero app from 412 Food Rescue is helping volunteers “rescue” food deemed un-sellable and distribute it to shelters and charities.
Touted as the only app in the U.S. that works like Uber, Food Rescue Hero shows both surpluses and needs. Local restaurants and grocery stores provide details on what they have to donate and where it can be picked up. Non-profit organizations communicate their locations and needs. At any time, a volunteer driver can look at the app to determine which pick-up/drop-off will be most convenient. A built-in navigation system directs them through the process. The recipient closes the loop by signing in to the app and marking the donation as delivered.
The Food Rescue Hero app is available of iTunes and Google Play for free. As Cizmas reports, it has helped 412 Food Rescue rally over 1,000 volunteers and rescue 1 million pounds of food in just 20 months. Donors are sidestepping waste and receiving tax incentives. Rescuers are making meaningful connections with recipients. Nonprofits are alleviating hunger. Along the way, social media posts inspire others to get involved in the cause.
The goal of 412 Food Rescue co-founder and CEO Leah Lizarondo has been to find an innovative way to make the food recovery process efficient and sustainable. Like every viable solution, the organization’s app made it to the finish line with the help of investors. Cizmas notes that Food Rescue Hero is the first phase of the Food RescueX technology platform. Lizardono’s ultimate goal is to expand nationally.
Pittsburgh may be the first city to put the Uber approach to work, but they are not alone in the fight to end food waste and hunger. Here are just a few of the many recent success stories:
- Real Time Mobile Applications Help Cut Down on Food Waste
- D.C. juicing startup fighting food waste picked for national incubator
- How Silicon Valley, land of free grub, is fighting food waste
- Startup that fights food waste expands to Twin Cities
Stay tuned for more insights on the innovators and investors bringing about change.

You’ve got your brand new pair of running shoes and an energetic playlist on Spotify. The course is all mapped out, and you couldn’t be more excited to start your new running routine.
While excitement is a necessary ingredient to fall in love with running, it’s also important to remember that running can put your body through a lot of stress. If you push yourself too far, or don't properly prepare, running can easily result in injury.
If you're new to running (or even if you're not but need a refresher), these four tips will help you prevent injuries so you can keep up with your plans to get in shape.
While running strengthens muscle and vastly improves cardiovascular function, it also has a tendency to tighten the hips, IT band, and the arches of your feet. Spending a few minutes on the yoga mat after each run is proven to help decrease injury.
Not only is hydration important for basic bodily function, it’s crucial to resupply the body with water after an hour or two of intense activity. Consuming too little water can result in dizziness and sub-par performance.
Too much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing. This is why sports doctors often advise their athletes to participate in cross-training. By strengthening muscles that running doesn't target, your overall strength increases, and you're less likely to hurt yourself.
So bust out the bicycle, kayak, or hit the weights at the gym. Cross-training is a great way to keep your body and your mind engaged with exercise. By mixing it up, you'll look forward to your runs even more.
It's not always easy when you're pumped, but it's important to start slow. Going from 0-60 on a training plan is a recipe for disaster, pain, and a long road to recovery. So take your time, and enjoy the miles ahead of you.
Along with these four injury reducing methods, Lily Trotter compression socks help improve circulation, and can even help prevent and reduce inflammation from shin splints. They’re essential in every new runner's tool kit, so you can spend less time injured and more time loving your runs.

The Brisbane Baylands encompasses approximately 660 acres, generally bordered on the west by Bayshore Boulevard, north by the City and County of San Francisco, east by the U.S. Hwy 101 causeway, and south by Brisbane Lagoon. It is comprised of a former municipal landfill and former rail yard, and presents both exciting opportunities and formidable challenges for the City. The site's history left a legacy of contamination requiring millions of dollars and years of remediation, which is still ongoing. Yet the remediated site holds the promise of enhanced environmental quality, opportunities for use and enjoyment by Brisbane residents via trails and enhanced open spaces, and new sustainable development contributing to the City's economic health, social diversity, and environment.
The City is committed to a planning process which engages the community and maximizes opportunities for open dialogue and input along with public review and comment. You may direct general comments or questions regarding the Baylands to firstname.lastname@example.org. Also, for general information on past and future activities, agenda reports and presentations, see the Sequence of Events. Some of the most commonly asked questions may be viewed at FAQs.
Please visit this webpage for updates. Also, to be included in future email updates, please submit your email address on the email submission page.
The Brisbane Planning Commission has set aside the Baylands public hearing of November 16th and December 1st, for community groups and December 10th for the applicant to make presentations regarding the Baylands before the Commission considers making its recommendation to the City Council. The respective meetings will be from 7:30-10:30 pm in the Community Meeting Room at Brisbane City Hall, 50 Park Place, Brisbane.
The Baylands survey results are now available for review. The City Council received a presentation from the City’s survey consultants regarding these results on October 27th. This was a mail-in survey sent to all registered voters in Brisbane to gauge community opinions and attitudes on a number of issues pertaining to the Baylands. The survey was sent out on August 25th, 2015 with a response deadline of September 12th, 2015. The survey results are an important factor in the City’s decision-making process for the Baylands.


Regional Cities Initiative: Road to One Million
Shared from the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership
The Regional Cities Initiative is a public-private partnership proposed and led by Governor Mike Pence with support from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). The goal of the Regional Cities Initiative is to make Indiana a magnet for talent by creating a national identity for Indiana cities. Northeast Indiana is competing for up to $42 million in state matching funds by submitting “The Road to One Million” proposal with a slate of game‐changing, quality of life projects (amenities and attractions that will attract and retain young talent).
The Road to One Million plan draws from hundreds of existing community plans, focus groups in each county, interviews with stakeholders, walking tours and planned private sector investments. The full portfolio of $1.4 billion in investments features 70 projects including phase 1 projects (years 1 and 2); longer term projects (years 3-8 implementation); and ideas for projects beyond the state’s initial 8-year timeframe.
View: Executive Summary
Regional Development Authority
The Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA), currently the largest RDA in the state, consists of Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties. The RDA was formed June 24 to apply for matching funds available through the state’s Regional Cities Initiative, which seeks to make Indiana a magnet for talent attraction by creating a national identity for Indiana cities. Formation of the Northeast Indiana RDA, which was formed in less than 30 days, demonstrates the region’s grit and demonstration in the face of obstacles. Only the RDA may apply to the new state funded Indiana Regional City Fund (administered by the Indiana Economic Development Council) for matching grants and loans; it may also accept loans, grants, and other contributions from federal, state, and private sources. If Northeast Indiana is selected as a winning Regional City and can move quickly to implement projects, the region will be eligible for additional funds in subsequent years.
Regional Development Authority Board
The RDA is overseen by a five-member board, each appointed by consent of the executives of the member counties and municipalities. Board members must have at least five years of professional work experience in one of the following: transportation, regional economic development, business or finance, private sector, nonprofit sector, or academia. Board members may not be elected officials or employees of a member county or municipality. Terms last for four years, with no term limits articulated by the state.
- Chairman Jeff Turner of Metal Technologies
- Vice Chairman Bob Marshall of Campbell & Fetter Bank
- Secretary and Treasurer Gene Donaghy of Northeastern REMC
- Brad Bishop of OrthoWorx
- Andrew Briggs of Bank of Geneva

Canadian fund manager Third Eye Capital has launched the Third Eye Capital Alternative Credit Trust (ACT), an open-ended, unincorporated investment trust. It will invest in privately-negotiated senior secured debt primarily of Canadian companies that are “Ignored or misunderstood by traditional financing sources”, the company said in a statement.
Its principal investment objective is to “Achieve superior risk-adjusted returns with minimal volatility and low correlation to most other asset classes,” the statement added.
Toronto-based Third Eye already ‘sub-manages’ a Luxembourg-domiciled vehicle, Third Eye Capital Credit Opportunities Fund, and the Canada-based Sprott Private Credit Trust. Both have similar strategies to the new fund.
The firm was founded in 2005 by chief executive Arif Bhalwani and vice chairman David Alexander. The firm’s bench also includes former CIT Canada chief credit officer Algis Vaitonis, who is head of portfolio operations, and chief financial officer Brian Hick.
“By looking through multiple lenses, Third Eye Capital has a proven ability to see quality in companies that other lenders do not see or appreciate. This has resulted in several businesses being able to free up hidden asset values and broaden their credit availability in order to solve the financing problems,” the firm said.
The ACT fund will only be available to Canadian investors, the firm said, with units initially offered at $10.00 per unit until 28 June, with a minimum subscription amount of $150,000 or $10,000 for those who qualify as ‘accredited investors’.

The holiday tradition of Ballet Quad Cities' “The Nutcracker” returns this weekend. And this time around, it features guest dancers from Quad Cities Ballet Folklorico (QCBF).
After collaborating for the first time in June, the two dance companies are partnering for the first time in performing the classic Tchaikovsky fairy tale. The performance, with live music by Orchestra Iowa, debuted last weekend in Cedar Rapids, and comes to Davenport's Adler Theatre this weekend.
“The audiences in Cedar Rapids loved the addition of that whole look. It was fabulous,” BQC executive director Joedy Cook said of four QCBF dancers in the Act I party scene and in the Act II Spanish dance scene.
“I've been thinking about it for so long — adding that element of Mexican folk dancing because they're here,” Cook said. “There's an element of crossover between Spanish and Mexican: the passion, flavor, movement, music. It's a natural.
"People always talk about partnering, but it has to be a partnership that works," she said. "You have to share common passions, goals, loves. This works. Dance is the passion of Ballet Quad Cities and Ballet Folklorico.”
The Spanish dance, with BQC's Aubrey Clayton, has QCBF dancers Caillou Delapaz of Rock Island and Justin Garcia, Michael Garcia and Matthew Garcia of Davenport in traditional Mexican costumes.
“I think the audience enjoyed it; it kind of surprises them,” said Ray Terronez Jr, director of QCBF. “It's an amazing show, very professional work. It's a positive addition to the show; it showcases diversity."
“It works fine; they put the footwork in the piece, and people love it,” said BQC guest dancer Domingo Rubio, who plays toymaker Drosselmeyer and performs the Act II Arabian dance. “It fits right there."
Terronez agreed that the collaboration was a nice fit.
"Obviously, we're two different styles, but we can find common areas," he said. "We're learning a tremendous amount from them, and they're appreciating the variety of cultures, the different styles from us.”
Moline-based QCBF began in 1984. Terronez, a QCBF alum, has been the director since 2008. Over that time it's grown from about 30 young dancers to 80, performing at 41 events this year.
This is the first time Terronez and many Folklorico dancers had seen “Nutcracker,” which premiered in 1892 in St. Petersburg, Russia.
“This combination is exposing them to that art, to that show,” Terronez said of his dancers. “I'm hoping some of my families take their kids. It's an amazing show.
Terronez has taught at BQC School of Dance, which also features Dorian Byrd instructing students on African-American styles, Cook said.
This “Nutcracker” has an extra dash of Mexican flair with the return of Rubio, a veteran Italian-Mexican dancer, who performed Drosselmeyer in the Quad-Cities about 10 years ago and has been a frequent “Dracula” in BQC productions. This weekend, he also does the Arabian dance with Mica Ward.
In another twist, Aubrey Clayton dances the Rat Queen (a variation on the traditional Rat King) with the QCBF boys. Terronez choreographed his dancers; BQC artistic director Courtney Lyon created movements for Clayton and much of the rest of the ballet. Emily Kate Long did choreography for the gingerbread cookies scene.
Clara is alternately danced by two girls, Ava Harrington, 12, of Bettendorf, and Maleah Golden, 14, of Davenport. “You have to make sure you have two equally strong dancers,” Cook said. “They're equally as talented. They share rehearsal time and share stage time.”
Oliver Klipsch, 14, of Davenport, is the young prince and Drosselmeyer's nephew. He escorts Clara into the Land of the Sweets.
“He has a way of moving," Rubio said. "He does one gesture, and he's better than a professional.”

The jewellery by Maria Marchegiani: works that bloom in the small town of Jesi.
There are jewels that are not born in Paris, and even in Milan, Vicenza and Valenza. There are jewels that, however, are born in a city of Italy, which isn’t famous for its boutiques. Yet in Jesi, a small town in the Marche region, works with appropriate conviction the creator and designer Maria Marchegiani. Coincidentally, as for other designers, she has an artistic background: he started with build sets for the theater, paint, restore old paintings, ironwork, ceramics. In her story, among other things, has a diploma at school of the sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro with Iris Project, a jewel-anthropological and contemporary sculpture.
She turns herself, then, to goldsmith’s art: began his career in 2004 when he opened a studio of design and laboratory Goldsmith Art Marchegiani in the historic Via degli Orefici that another coincidence, it is the place where he worked Lucagnolo, a student of Welcome Cellini. With this patron saint in the area, Maria Marchegiani uses silver, gold, precious and semi-precious gems, with metal alloys that are created entirely within the laboratory, also with special colors. The inspirational motifs are the most diverse: from the natural and the man. Are more than abstract ideas real models. But also she can make also custom jewelry.

Genre: Mob/Crime Fiction/Dystopian/A bit of Mystery
Release Date: 9/6/2011
Add to Goodreads
About the Book: Anya Balanchine lives in a future where chocolate and caffeine is illegal and paper is rationed. As the daughter of a chocolate "mob boss" Anya could work in the family business. Anya wants nothing to do with the chocolate business that killed her parents and injured her brother. She wants as normal of a life as possible for herself and her siblings. But life gets complicated when Anya is accused of poising her ex-boyfriend with an illegal chocolate bar.
I have loved Gabrielle Zevin's two previous YA novels, so I went into this book with high expectations. Luckily I was not disappointed! I was sucked into the story and couldn't put this book down until I had finished.
The book is set in a future where the government has more control, things have been rationed due to supplies running low, and some items, such as chocolate, have become illegal. Anya is the daughter of a powerful chocolate boss who runs a chocolate company-chocolate is still legal in other countries, plus the government is corrupt enough to trade favors when needed and look the other way. We're given hints about the future setting and the world Anya lives in, but we don't know much. The world intrigued me, but this isn't a book that relies heavily on world building. It's a more character driven story than anything else. For readers who are looking for a dystopian novel, this aspect might be a bit disappointing, since the dystopian part isn't as fleshed out. I wasn't bothered by it because I found the crime family/mob storyline interesting and I really liked all the characters.
While the book has a dystopian aspect to it, it really felt more like a Prohibition Mob story but set in the future. The future setting isn't so distant (Anya's grandmother was born in 1995) that it feels too futuristic. Instead it felt like a contemporary novel with some changes. To me, this is what made the book so engaging. I have an obsession with stories from this era-one of my all time favorite movies is the musical Bugsy Malone-so I was easily hooked on the crime story. I think readers who enjoy reading stories set in the 1920's/1930's would also be interested in All These Things I've Done.
I loved Anya. She's strong and wants to take care of her family. She cares very much for her siblings and is very loyal to them-so much so that she'll take the fall to protect them. She's also very logical and can be a bit distant, but I found her to have a bit of wit to her that I really liked. There's a star-crossed romance to the story as Anya and the new DA's son start to fall for each other. I have to say props to Anya for not falling into the love at first sight trap! She even mentions at one point that it was too soon to say she loved Win, which was a bit refreshing after reading many "he's the one for me" YA novels.
The story is a bit quiet, but I felt that fit the book well. The dystopian setting is light and this isn't an action-packed book by any means. I was sucked into the story and I liked Anya, so I wanted to stick with her. Plus, I felt this fit the Mob mood of the story-quiet and cool.
There's a lot packed into the book that surprised me and I really appreciated that Ms. Zevin took some twists and turns with the story. It wasn't what I expected going in and I liked that the characters and the story surprised me throughout.
It's a romance, crime fiction, and a bit of a dytopian all mixed into one and I loved it! I've been recommending this to everyone I know. By the time I got to the ending, I wanted to start all over and read it again. I can't wait for the next installment!!
