Press Release' TRANSFORMERS TRADING CARDGAME IS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Wizards of the Coast have issued the following press release regarding the launch of a Transformers trading card game.
TRANSFORMERS TRADING CARDGAME
IS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
TRANSFORMERS TCG from Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to Launch Later in 2018; Fans to Get Sneak Peek with Convention Edition Item at San Diego Comic-Con and Gen Con
PAWTUCKET, RI AND RENTON, WA–JULY 10, 2018 –Hasbro, Inc., a global play and entertainment company, and Wizards of the Coast,a subsidiary of Hasbro and the publishers of the seminal trading card game Magic: The Gathering, provided more details today about a trading card game inspired by Hasbro's iconic TRANSFORMERS franchise: the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game. Designed for players ages 8 and up, the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game will be available for purchase in the United States and certain other markets later in 2018.
The TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game is a fast, easy-to-learn action battling card game designed for two players. Players build a team of TRANSFORMERS character cards and power them up with a customizable deck of battle cards. TRANSFORMERS character cards are huge – character cards in the AUTOBOTS Starter Set and Booster Packs are twice the size of standard playing cards, and can be flipped from bot mode to alt mode and back – and feature premium printing treatment on one of their sides. The deck of battle cards features Action and Upgrade cards to enhance TRANSFORMERS character cards.
"The TCG format lets us pull TRANSFORMERS characters from across the brand's massive history. From Bumblebee to Sunstorm – the game is digging deep into the TRANSFORMERS lore," said Drew Nolosco, TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Brand Manager. "We can even focus on different aspects of the same character. Optimus Prime, for example, is immensely powerful in combat, but he's also a master tactician. The Transformers TCG will let players explore the characters' depth through engaging and tactical gameplay."
At launch, TRANSFORMERS fans can look forward to the following:
· AUTOBOTS Starter Set – The AUTOBOTS Starter Set contains cards for two players to begin gameplay, and features OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, IRONHIDE and RED ALERT character cards. It will be available for purchase at retailers in the United States beginning on Sept. 28, 2018, and in certain other markets later in 2018.
· TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Booster Packs – Players can add to their character card teams and battle card decks for full gameplay with Booster Packs. Each Booster Pack contains 1 TRANSFORMERS character card and 7 battle cards from a pool of 40 character cards and 81 battle cards. Booster Packs will be sold separately and available for purchase at retailers in the United States beginning on Sept. 28, 2018, and in certain other markets later in 2018.
Fans can get a first look at four cards for the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game in July with the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Convention Edition. Limited quantities will be available for purchase at Comic-Con International 2018 in San Diego, Gen Con 2018 in Indianapolis and through the Hasbro Toy Shop at HasbroToyShop.com, where available, after the conventions. The TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Convention Edition contains two TRANSFORMERS character cards (CLIFFJUMPER – RENEGADE WARRIOR and SLIPSTREAM – STRATEGIC SEEKER) and two battle cards (All-Out Attack and Tandem Targeting System) not available in the AUTOBOTS Starter Set or the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Booster Packs.

IDW Hasbro Universe Comics Event First Strike to Arrive in September 2017
CBR are reporting that Mairghread Scott and David Rodriguez will be writing the next Hasbro Universe cross-over arch called FIRST STRIKE which focuses on Cobra, led by Baron Ironblood, deciding to directly target the Transformers. The artwork shall be provided by Max Dunbar withissues solicited as coming out from September.
IDW Publishing has a new Hasbro crossover on the way, and it doesn't sound like good news for the Transformers.
CBR has the first details on "First Strike," announced Thursday at the Diamond Retailer Summit in Chicago. The story starts with two issues in August, from the writing team of IDW Transformers vet Mairghread Scott & David Rodriguez (Narrative Director at Vicarious Visions, the game company best known for the "Skylanders" franchise) and artist Max Dunbar, recently of IDW's "Micronauts" series.
Following 2016's "Revolution" event — which saw IDW's licensed Hasbro properties united in one shared universe — "First Strike" picks up with Earth about to join the Cybertronian Council of Worlds. That peaceful event is interrupted by Cobra, as Baron Ironblood — historically the British counterpart to Cobra Commander — has targeted all Cybertronians for termination, putting the Transformers in serious jeopardy. The G.I. Joes, led by Scarlett, and the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, stand in the way in the face of extinction — enlisting help along the way from, apparently, an unlikely ally in the form of Soundwave of the Decepticons.
While this certainly sounds like the comic book equivalent of a blockbuster summer movie, Scott said it's also a "deeply personal character story."
"One man attempts to dominate, one woman stands against him," Scott said in a statement to CBR. "Watch as Scarlett leads her G.I. Joes on a daring mission to save all of Cybertron from their gravest threat yet. 'First Strike' is a fast-paced, hard-hitting, and deeply personal character story set against the backdrop of intergalactic war with all the giant robots, cyborg ninjas, and massive explosions you could ask for."
IDW Publishing Editor-in-Chief David Hedgecock described "First Strike" as the natural progression from what the company started in "Revolution."
"In 'Revolution,' we united our Hasbro comic book titles into one shared universe," Hedgecock said. "In 'First Strike,' we see what it's like to live in the shadows of a massively powerful, ancient, alien race that has been warring with itself for millions of years and, in doing so, has brought death and destruction to every planet it has touched."
"What, if anything, can one man do to save his planet? What depths will he go to in order to save mankind? How do you destroy all the Transformers?"
True to the "Revolution" spirit, it won't just be Transformers and G.I. Joe getting involved in "First Strike" — the M.AS.K. team will also be involved.
"'First Strike' is your childhood toy box exploding onto the [comic] page: the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and M.A.S.K. teams brought together, each of them positioned on different sides of this planet-spanning conflict," Rodriguez said in a statement. "Sometimes the groups will line up along expected party lines, but other times, you'll see them being torn apart from the inside, as they are forced to face the impossible concept of one human man declaring war against Cybertron and then being really good at it."
"First Strike" will run for three months, with six issues planned to ship on a twice-monthly schedule. Tie-ins to the event will be revealed at a later date. Covers for each issue will be illustrated by "Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" artist Freddie E. Williams II, along with multiple variants.

In 2006, seeing the steady progress being made by Ikale Progressive Association in NY/NJ, Durojaye Odimayo Akindutire, who was then the president of the "Egbe", was mandated to reach out to other Ikales in North America on the formation of an all-encompassing Ikale Association. The initial breakthrough came when some Ikales were invited to attend the end of the year gathering of the Egbe in New York. Prince Rinde Akinsola and Dr. Salewa Olafioye honored the invitation. These two gentlemen sat through the night with Akindutire. This was how Ikale World Congress (IWC) began.
Dr. Akindutire shared the egbe's call with them, briefed them on the result of the discussions/consultations he had with other Ikales, and narrated the vision and mission for IWC. These three individuals shared information and projected what should be the way forward for IWC. The Leadership of the Ikale Progressive Association NY/NJ then were-Mr. & Mrs. Ayo Lijirin, Mr. & Mrs. Babatunde Basorun, Dr. & Mrs. Benson Akingbemi, Mr. & Mrs. Adelokiki, Dr & Mrs. Odimayo Akindutire, Chief & Chief (Mrs.) Aiyeku, Dr & Mrs. Olokungbemi, Dr. Babatunde Omolola, Mr. & Mrs. Babatunde Ogunwolere, Chief (Dr.) & Chief Mrs. Aiyeku, Mr & Mrs. Akindutire, Mr & Mrs Bamgboye, and Pastor & Mrs. Omowole.. The trio continued the discussion and regional/state coordinators were incorporated. This led to the first inaugural convention held in Maryland which was fully attended by Ikale indigenes from different states in the US and Canada. At the formation in 2007, there were three affiliations of Ikale World Congress called chapters; they include New York, Texas, and Maryland. Later in 2008, four additional local chapters became members, these includes Dallas, Missouri, Philadelphia and Atlanta.
During the inaugural convention back in 2007, about 1000 indigenes of Ikale land were in attendance with the common goal to bring people in Diaspora together to chart a course of unity, love and progress that is in consonant with the move that was taking place at home in Nigeria where our differences are being minimized as a group and our unity is firmly established for progress and development of our cultural and political rebirth. Dr. Salewa Olafioye was the first appointed Chairman of IWC and during the 2009 Convention in Maryland, the constitution of IWC was adopted. Dr. Durojaye Akindutire was elected as the first elected President of IWC and Dr. Salewa Olafioye was selected by the Board of the elected Directors to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Founder's Quote
"Ikale will be what we want it to be if we jettison those divisive amongst us, embrace ourselves as brothers and sisters and above all willingly decide to nourish the new baby with all it takes to make Ikale nation reach its apogee". 2007
"I am really happy that no matter what, Ikale people are talking to themselves more, doing things together more, and exploring ways to better their lots more, both here and back home" 2011
"Ja 'pimo wa po, ja ka mu imonsokan, ajo se wa ma ni baje, Ilosiwaju wa dowo 'ra wa" 2008.
"Unless we work hard to do something beyond what is already established. We will never make a difference in the lives of our people and community. I boldly confess and my mind is receptive to work cooperatively with my brothers and sisters to advance the mission of IWC. Therefore, in whatever way possible, I am fully prepared to give sacrificially and serve selflessly with honesty and integrity to uplift my people and community. So help me God"
"The birth of Ikale World Congress is an important vehicle in transforming Ikale to that enviable position we all dreamed of. It is imperative for all of us to nurture this baby (IWC), we should not let this baby die because of insufficient nourishment" 2007.

My Comments: Every now and then something surfaces that has nothing to do with finance, but is both interesting and useless. This is one of those things.
Such a holiday may have just arrived: A group of science enthusiasts have established "Galactic Tick Day," which celebrates the journey that the sun takes around the nearly circular disk of the Milky Way galaxy.
David Sneider, one of the creators of Galactic Tick Day, said the motivation for inventing this new holiday is "kind of loosely defined," but mainly the group hopes it will simply bring some awe and excitement to people's lives.
Sneider is 26, lives in northern California, and is a self-described entrepreneur and "startup guy," who works on the "commercial, strategy and messaging side of things." He isn't a scientist (there are no professional scientists behind Galactic Tick Day), but he likes discussing big ideas from science — such as when a person on Earth stands very still, he or she is still moving around the sun at about 67,000 miles per hour (110,000 kilometers per hour), and around the galaxy at something close to 514,000 mph (828,000 km/h).
This is a fascinating fact, and in Sneider's experience it can lead people to meditate more deeply about their place in the universe. In his spare time, Sneider volunteers with Black Rock Observatory, a group that "brings meteorites and telescopes to art and science festivals in California," which is one of the places where he can discuss these cosmic ideas with people.
The folks behind Galactic Tick Day went with an estimate of 225 million. Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, which means it has lived through about 20 complete loops around the galaxy.
To celebrate the age of human beings, we have to know the exact day on which they were born. Since the exact birth date of the sun is a bit vague, the creators of Galactic Tick Day had to pick some other specific starting date to start counting the passage of galactic years. (New Year's Day, for example, is used to mark the passage of the Earth's journey around the sun, but it is essentially an arbitrary date).
Sneider and his friends chose Oct. 2, 1608, the day that Hans Lippershey filed the patent for the first telescope.
That day was selected in honor of the "telescope's power" in bringing about "awareness of the nature of the universe," according to the Galactic Tick website.
If the sun travels in an approximate circle around the center of the galaxy, then that circle can be divided up into degrees — every circle is 360 degrees. Every degree can be divided up into 60 pieces, each called an arc minute. Every arc minute can be divided into 60 arc seconds. (These units can also be used to measure the distance between objects on the sky). The creators of Galactic Tick Day then divided each arc second by 100 (a "centi-arc second").
Sneider said they call each of these centi-arc seconds a "tick," sort of like the tick of a second hand on a clock. Every time the sun completes one centi-arc second in its orbit around the galactic center, they will celebrate Galactic Tick Day.
With that in mind, the sun moves through one centi-arc second of its orbit around the galaxy every 633.7 days, or 1.73 years, and Sept. 29, 2016, will be the 235th Galactic Tick Day.
Because it happens every 633.7 days, Galactic Tick Day won't fall on the same calendar day every time it comes around. Fans of the holiday will have to calculate when the next celebration should be.
Galactic Tick Day is a great celebration of science, and it is also an example of how social media is making it possible for just about anyone to kick off their own science outreach projects. Sneider and his friends aren't affiliated with any science organizations; currently, they don't have any celebrities (scientists or otherwise) pushing their message out. (Sneider did reach out to multiple science news outlets, including this one, and there's been some coverage). A YouTube video describing the holiday has a few thousand views, and a Facebook event page (location: Earth) has been shared by a few hundred people.
Sneider said he and the other founders are planning their own event for Galactic Tick Day in San Francisco that will include talks by space scientists and interactive events that relate to the cosmos. The event is not listed on the Facebook page, but Sneider said anyone interested in attending should message the creators on Facebook.

Sonatina in F Major, Anh. 5 (2/2) -- Urtext
Sheet music for : Piano
Difficulty level :
Rondo - Sonatine Kinsky-Halm Anhang 5, No. 2 (II Rondo : Allegro)
This lively Rondo is the second of two movements in Ludwig van Beethoven' s beautiful Sonatina in F Major.
The first movement is labelled Allegro assai.
Either movement of this sonatina is appropriate for Grade 5 piano students.
Together with Beethoven's Sonatina in G Major, this Sonatina in F Major is part of Beethoven's Zwei Klaviersonatinen, Kinsky-Halm Anhang 5.
This sonatina was first published in 1830, three years after Beethoven's death.
This score is an Urtext edition of the second movement of Beethoven's Sonatina Anhang 5, No. 2 in F Major.
It is important to perform the ornaments in accordance with the performance practice of the Classical period. In this sonatina, the ornaments are :
Turn (measure 4 and other similar measures) : played ON the beat, starting on the upper auxiliary note (hence : G-F-E-F)
Appogiaturas (measure 74) : played ON the beat, the appoggiatura taking up one half of the main note's value (hence, all notes of this measure become sixteenth notes)
Note also that the a tempo indication in measure 75 is editorial but is customarily added to this measure by the majority of music editors.

of McClellan before Richmond, and his retreat to Harrison's Landing so uncovered Washington to an advance of the Confederate army, that it became necessary to rush additional forces to the defense of the capital of the nation, and only a week was allowed for equipment and drill of the 121st at Camp Schuyler. On August 30th the regiment left camp under orders to proceed to Washington. The journey was made by railroad to Albany, by boat to New York, and by railroad through Philadelphia and Baltimore to Washington. The events of this journey are graphically told by members of the regiment. Colonel Beckwith's is the most explicit, and before quoting from his diary of this and future events, a sketch of his previous army experiences is almost a necessity. At the age of fifteen he went to Albany and enlisted in the 91st N. Y. Infantry, and with them went to Florida where he was unable to endure the climate, and was discharged for disability. Returning to his home in Utica, he so recov

he 6th Corps, if he had desired to do so, for a portion of the works in his front was bare of defenders. But all the facts seem to point to a different conclusion. Gordon goes on to say that the first of these objects was attained, but it was found impossible to free the prisoners, and no attempt was made to reach them. In the affair at Fort Stevens only two divisions were engaged. The 3d Division, which started from City Point the day before the rest of the corps, was disembarked at Baltimore and advanced from that city to Frederick City, where it joined the forces of General Lew Wallace, and took part in the battle of the Monocacy. In this battle the small force of General Wallace, by successful maneuvering and stubborn fighting, delayed General Early an entire day, and thus gave the time necessary for the 6th Corps to arrive at Washington, before the Confederates could enter. General Early afterwards said that when he saw the banners of the 6th Corps in the works at Fort
