July 2015 Kickstarter Updates
Hello July! The constant heat and brightness from the day orb has many of us gamers in Seattle flocking to public spaces to enjoy AC, a cold beer and a board game or two.
Compete in the black market game to make potions and conjure powerful magic in Apotheca. The first Apothecary to create three sets of three different potions wins the game and gains entry into The Secret Potion Society. This bold theme of alchemy brings together spacial strategy, deception and deduction into a quick tile game.
As gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon, you are the powers of the universe and demand the worship of mortals on the earth. More and more citizens are turning away from prayer and piety so it is your job to put the fear of god(s) back into them by sending down a torrent of deadly monsters. Send in gorgons, attack cities and scare people into worshiping at your temple again. The god or goddess who won the most faith by the end wins the game! Full card art and gorgeous renditions of classical Greek monsters give Monstrous even more allure.
If you love complex market simulation Euro games, it is worth checking out The Gallerist (which only has 4 DAYS left in their campaign). The player represents a mega art manager: one part art dealer, museum curator and artist manager all rolled into one goal: build the most wealthy and lucrative art gallery. Players will compete for artists, gallery fame and influence in international markets in order to grow their own prestige. The set up reminds me a lot of Pret a Porter: a French game with a similar focus and goal except the player represents the fashion designer looking to start their own business and successful line of clothing.
EFFWORDS brings together the casual, party game and Scrabble tiles to deliver an entertaining word-creation game. From a group of 7 tiles a lead player forms a completely fictional word to which the other players will submit a card with a definition. The lead player decides on his or her favorite definition and play continues. It is a straightforward game and lets players add their creative touch in making up the words.
The successful 4x micro civilization game is back with its second edition printing and brand new features as well as the opportunity to pair the Heroes’ Call expansion in one pledge. The expansion has a new resource, new territory maps, new races and added heroes. Build, Defend and Learn in this great gateway Euro-style game.
Vampires, Humans and Werewolves will never be able to live peacefully together, will they? In Blood Oath, players choose one of the factions to represent in a card battling game. Each player commands a leader of the faction and summons hoards of your kind to fight off your enemies. The recommended gameplay is a 3 player free for all with the winner being the last faction standing alive. Blood Oath features an intuitive turn combat format and tactical unit placement (there are 2 flank positions on the player mate) combined with various strategy from leader, character and spell abilites.
Just as the game implies, players control a group of prisoners plotting to escape their prison. In order to make a successful escape they will need to gather items to Macgyver them into useful tools. The prisons must collect these items in the different rooms of the prison without being caught by one of the cards. These bad guys (and hopefully maybe some bad gals too? *hint hint*) steal items from each other and actively work against each other because the first player to get two of their prisoners out will win.
Is my favorite game on the list in terms of theme, price and casual card gameplay. Hocus combines poker and magic spells in a competitive hand management game. Players are attempting to be the first to score a number of points. At just $15, Hocus is an accessible game at that price and it includes different levels of difficulty to suit different gamer’s abilities.

Service gradually being restored to Fifth Third customers
Service is gradually being restored to Fifth Third customers following a Friday afternoon outage.
The outage, which began just after noon, prevented many customers from using debit cards or withdrawing cash.
"We are experiencing an issue with our network," a statement from the Cincinnati-based bank read. "We are working as quickly as possible to restore service for our affected customers, and we apologize for the inconvenience."
Laura Trujillo, a public relations official with the bank, said she doesn't know how far-reaching the problem extends.
The bank's website and mobile app were also down for an extended period of time.
As of 3:45 p.m., bank officials said service is gradually being restored, and should be back online for all customers within the hour.
Officials said there is still no evidence to indicate this was the result of an external threat.
WLWT is working to learn more and will update this story as details develop.

WHO IS AFRAID OF CHANGE & HOPE?
Roswell Georgia newspaper, the Roswell Beacon had adopted a page from Hilary Clinton and Mike Huckabee's scripts targeting Barack Obama. The conspiracy is mounting, from Mike Huckabee's supposed joke at a National Rifles Association convention that Barack Obama has a gun pointed at him to Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton's assertion that the reason she had remained in the race impliedly is just in case Barack Obama is assassinated in June just like Robert Kennedy. Now the deep south enclave of KKK and racist red neck white supremacists town of Roswell Newspaper has followed suit with the publication above, depicting Barack Obama in the cross hairs of a sniper rifle. These are not just mere coincidences and the world is watching the America of 2008 to see if it has moved on from its 1968 self. However, as we pray that nothing evil comes Barack Obama's way, the over seventeen million Americans whose mandate Barack Obama presently holds, will not keep quite should the unthinkable happens. Mike Huckabee, Hilary Clinton and now Roswell Beacon are by this publication being put on notice by Icheoku that the amber of flame which they have ignited is flickering and they would be principally held accountable should their nightmarish scenario ever come to pass! They are all instigators and baiters hoping some nutcase somewhere will bite and bring to fruition their dark sided minds. This is not healthy for a twenty first century America and yet this is the land of the free and home of the brave! Shame on you hate baiters!

The Miramar (Fla.) police department issued an arrest warrant on Thursday for Giants corner DeAndre Baker for four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm stemming from an incident that allegedly occurred Wednesday night.
The affidavit also says one of Baker's accomplices was wearing a red mask and alleges, according to testimony from multiple witnesses, that "Baker directed the assailant in the red mask to shoot (an unnamed person), who was just walking into the party."
Seattle Seahawks corner Quinton Dunbar also has a warrant out for his arrest connected to the incident for four counts of armed robbery.
The affidavit and application for arrest warrant, submitted by Detective Mark Moretti of the Miramar Police Department, states that at approximately 11 pm Wednesday, Baker, 22, was “armed with a semi-automatic firearm” and “took money and watches belonging to the victim(s) with force” at a party at a Miramar residence.
Baker is charged with aggravated assault because he allegedly "intentionally and unlawfully threatened the victim(s) with a firearm, creating a reasonable fear that violence or harm is imminent."
A witness said under oath that Baker “pointed a gun at him and he was in fear for his life.”
One witness said Baker and Dunbar had lost "about $70,000" at a party in Miami two nights prior. Multiple witnesses said Baker and his cohorts had getaway cars "pre-positioned outside the residence in a manner that would facilitate an expedited departure from the residence."
Baker and his accomplices are alleged to have stolen at gunpoint, in order of the alleged victims’ listed items stolen: $7,000 in U.S. currency and a $25,000 Hublot watch; $4,000 in U.S. currency and a $17,500 Audemars Piguet watch; $600 in U.S. currency and “a Richard Mille knock-off valued at $600.”
The Giants released a statement saying: "We are aware of the situation. We have been in contact with DeAndre. We have no further comment at this time."
The NFL released a statement: "We are aware of the matter but will decline further comment at this time."
The Athletic reported that Baker hadn’t participated in the Giants’ virtual meeting on Thursday or any of the club’s other voluntary minicamp meetings this week.
Dave Gettleman traded up into the back of the first round last year to draft Baker No. 30 overall out of Georgia. Baker had a horrible work ethic and attitude as a rookie and it reflected in poor play. He admitted to not being in his playbook until the back third of the year.
Gettleman has made a big deal about cleaning up the "culture" left behind by former GM Jerry Reese. It was one of his primary stated goals when he took over in Dec. 2018.
Gettleman traded Odell Beckham Jr. in March 2019 and when asked a month later by NJ.com if he had a culture problem with the Giants, he smiled and said “not anymore.”
After cutting Janoris Jenkins this winter, Gettleman declared "he's it, he was it" of the culture problems he had to clean out of the Giants' building.

Paul Lewis: “The Energy That an Audience Gives to a Performance Is Unique; It’s Irreplaceable”
Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana.
This interview with acclaimed pianist Paul Lewis delves into his musical journey, from early memories of a toy organ to formal education at Chetham’s School of Music and the Guildhall School of Music in London. Lewis reflects on pivotal moments, including interactions with master pianist Alfred Brendel, competitions, and the gradual unfolding of his career in the 1990s. The conversation then shifts to the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on his relentless schedule, providing an unexpected opportunity for self-reflection and a reassessment of life priorities.
Lewis discusses the challenges posed by the pandemic, the initial attempts to maintain normalcy, and the subsequent realization of the need for a reset. The interview explores Lewis’s upcoming projects, including performances of Beethoven concerto cycles and Schubert sonata series. As he contemplates the future, Lewis emphasizes the importance of balancing his previous nervous energy for performing with newfound reflections on family and home.
The conversation extends to broader issues affecting musicians, such as the complexities of untangling composers from their compositions and the impact of Brexit on the music scene in the UK. Lewis shares insights into the practical difficulties faced by musicians post-Brexit, shedding light on the bureaucratic challenges and the potential repercussions for the classical music landscape.
Addressing the future of classical music, Lewis expresses optimism grounded in the unique connection between performers and live audiences. He emphasizes the irreplaceable energy and shared experience that live performances offer, despite the challenges posed by an aging classical music audience and the recent shift to online platforms during the pandemic.
The interview concludes with Lewis sharing details about his upcoming projects, including a comprehensive exploration of Schubert’s sonatas, blending the Copland Concerto for Piano and Orchestra with Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, and the release of the second volume of his Joseph Haydn — Piano Sonatas album. Lewis offers valuable advice to young musicians, emphasizing the importance of learning extensive repertoire early in their careers and cultivating patience for long-term growth and development.

Queensland’s network of thriving neighbourhood and community centres have the chance to share in $1 million to buy vital equipment and host events and activities, thanks to the Thriving Queensland Communities grants – Round three.
Minister for Communities Coralee O’Rourke today (11 March) announced the opening of the grants round, which has already provided more than $1.4 million to the state’s neighbourhood and community centres over the past two years.
“The grants round helps centres buy vital equipment such as computers, run training programs for staff and volunteers, and host events, activities and programs to benefit the local community,” Mrs O’Rourke said.
“Grants of up to $25,000 each are up for grabs.
“I encourage Palaszczuk Government-funded neighbourhood and community centres to apply for funding under this year’s grants.”
Last year, 72 neighbourhood and community centres across Queensland shared in more than $800,000 under the Thriving Queensland Communities grants – Round two.
For example, re-roofing of the Sandgate Community Centre received $20,000 to upgrade its roof and the Maryborough and Bowen neighbourhood centres received $19,510 and $15,400 respectively to purchase new equipment.
Mrs O’Rourke said the Palaszczuk Government was committed to ensuring that the state’s network of 124 neighbourhood and community centres are supported to keep Queensland communities connected.
“We know how important these centres are for their local communities, providing services and support to some of the most vulnerable Queenslanders,” she said.
“Supporting the state’s neighbourhood and community centres is the cornerstone of our vision for thriving communities in Queensland.
“We want all Queenslanders, regardless of their personal circumstances, to be included and able to participate in their communities, be resilient and enjoy social and economic wellbeing.”

Beijing History Facts and Timeline
Since the first walled city, Ji, rose in the 11th century BC, Beijing has remained at the heart of Chinese civilisation. It was often the capital city for whoever was running the province at the time, and even today has emerged as modern China's administrative capital.
Packed with culture and history, Beijing offers a tantalising glimpse into the many facets of mysterious China.
Imperial State Capital
Beijing started out as the capital of the State of Yan, one of the big powers during the Warring States era of 473 to 221 BC. Although the Yan eventually fell, the city's conquerors liked the location sufficiently that it was subsequently made the prefectural capital of the region during the following Qin, Han and Jin dynasties.
Things really changed for Beijing's history when Mongol forces burned the city of Zhongdu to the ground in 1215. Following this, in 1264, Kublai Khan, a relation of Genghis Khan, built his new territorial capital of Dadu right next to the levelled city, around today's landmark of the Drum Tower, in the northern part of the city. The Mongols continued to rule for the next century, until the first Ming emperor razed the city in 1368.
Beijing is Born
The third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle, changed the city's name to Beijing in 1403 and gave it co-capital status alongside Nanjing. Yongle was responsible for starting the Forbidden City project, which was completed in 1420 and remains one of the world's most stunning architectural creations. Once the Forbidden Palace was built, the city officially became the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Of interest, 13 of the 16 Ming emperors are buried just outside the city.
A Global City
It is believed that Beijing was the world's biggest city from 1425 to 1650. Most of modern Beijing's shape was created during the early years of the Ming Dynasty, with notable landmarks like Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven being built during this time.
When the Ming era came crashing to an end in 1644 due to a peasant revolution, the Qing quickly stepped in to become China's new rulers. They held on to the city until the Second Opium War (1856 to 1860) saw French-Anglo forces loot and burn the city's two summer palaces in 1860. Some 40 years later, in 1900, Beijing's history was again shaped by the Boxer Rebellion, which heralded the end of dynastic China and the beginning of a new state.
The People's Republic
During the Republican era, Beijing went through a rough patch brought about by warring Chinese powers and Japanese occupation of the city in 1937. When Mao Zedong won back control of China in 1949 and instituted the People's Republic of China, Beijing was once again tapped as the national capital of the new country.
Today, it continues to be on the frontline of China's evolution, with internal struggles like the Tiananmen Square incident of 1989 and more recently, its designation as the host of the 2008 Summer Olympics, marking memorable moments in Chinese history. As China continues to discover its latest role in global geopolitics, the history of Beijing will be sure to evolve in step.

Many individuals flip to their laptop or telephone after they’re looking for a recipe or saving a favorite, however platforms like TikTok and Reddit have renewed curiosity in an previous custom: the recipe field.
Some at the moment are scouring storage and property gross sales looking for packing containers crammed with household favourites — or bygones like tuna salad Jell-O, Swedish meat rings and chocolate sauerkraut cake.
Meals columnist Elizabeth Chorney-Sales space advised The Homestretch on Wednesday that the development is probably going born out of a quest to remain occupied and posting on social media throughout COVID-19.
“They have been digging up previous recipe books, and even higher, folks’s grandmothers’ recipe playing cards, and making all of those recipes that most likely appear fairly wacky to anybody who grew up extra just lately than the Nineteen Seventies,” Chorney-Sales space mentioned.
“[And] as a result of we’re speaking about social media, the weirder the higher … a number of that is extra alongside the strains of, ‘What does this bizarre recipe really style like?'”
Why all of the bizarre meals? Pilsbury, Jell-O and accessibility
In keeping with Chorney-booth, a lot of the cookbooks with wilder recipes have been printed by corporations like Jell-O or Pilsbury within the ’50s and ’60s.
“They have been bending over backwards to get folks to make use of their merchandise as a lot as doable, in order that’s why you’ve issues like lime Jell-O with shrimp and asparagus ideas floating in it being handed off as a salad,” she mentioned.
In the meantime, recipes for TikTok recreations equivalent to tomato soup cake or vinegar pie have been doubtless conceptualized based mostly on what was readily available on the time, and meals was much less accessible.
“Earlier than, , you possibly can get an avocado in the course of January, just some blocks away on the grocery retailer,” Chorney-Sales space mentioned.
However for her, the last word finds are the recipe packing containers that inform a narrative.
“I do not know something in regards to the individuals who made the [recipe] packing containers that I’ve, however I really like their handwriting,” Chorney-Sales space mentioned.
“The magical factor about these recipe packing containers crammed with personalised playing cards is, they’re issues that individuals really made for his or her households, issues that house cooks clipped out of newspapers or had handed on to them by neighbours.
“So, you’ll be able to really discover some actual gems.”

A small private school opened last month in DeLand, promising an elite educationand 100 percent college attendance for its students, many of whom attend thanks to state-backed scholarships.
DeLand Preparatory Academy won approval from the Florida Department of Education over the summer to receive the scholarships, even though just months earlier the school’s director had shuttered an Orlando-area school — one that also relied heavily on the scholarships — with a troubled track record.
In March, a former teacher of the closed campus, Beta Preparatory Collegiate Academy, sent a two-page complaint to the education department,accusing a coworker of touching students “in a sexual way” and watching child pornography at school.
The department said it forwarded the complaint to the Florida Department of Children and Families, but DCF said it didn’t receive the document. DCF began investigating the allegations only last month, after an Orlando Sentinel reporter — who had received the complaint through a public records request — shared it.
“The allegations in this complaint are appalling, and we are working with the Department of Children and Families to determine appropriate next steps,” spokeswoman Meghan Collins wrote in an email to the Sentinel.
Earl Barnett, the director of both schools, said he also did not know about the complaint against his former employeeuntil informed by the Sentinel. Beta closed at the end of the last school year for financial reasons, Barnett said, and the personnamed in the complaint is not teaching at his new Volusia County school.
“I’m just going to keep moving forward,” Barnett said.
The allegation against the employee wasn’t the only problem for Beta Preparatory Collegiate Academy. During the two years the school was open, it moved three times,once evicted for not paying rent andleaving its last landlord — an Orange County church — owed a “substantial amount” of money. Parents and teachers said promised technology never arrived and student classes weren’t rigorous. And a former teacher, who said she didn’t receive her full pay, successfully sued the school to recover unpaid wages.
Aisha Martin, who taught at Beta during the 2016-2017 school year, said Barnett did not seem focused on providing an education. She saw the school’s abrupt moves as a sign of trouble.
“Whatever he’s doing, he’s running away from people,” she said.
The problems at Barnett’s previous school didn’t prevent him from opening another school and continuing to receive state scholarships, known as vouchers. State law only allows the education department to deny scholarships to schools for a few reasons, including an operator’s criminal history or the failure to pass a fire or health inspection. New schools must provide evidence of financial solvency, though previous evictions won’t stop an operator from opening another campus.
Last year, nearly 2,000 private schools statewide received about $1 billion through three state-backed scholarships programs. Those schools served 140,000 students who are from low-income families or have special needs. This year, lawmakers added a fourth program for students who say they have been bullied in public schools.At some of these schools, all or most of the students use these scholarships to pay tuition.
And the system allows some troubled schools that receive state money to remain open for years. In October, the Sentinel published its “Schools Without Rules” series that documented problems including campuses that hired teachers without degrees and with criminal records, that forged fire and health inspection forms, andfaced eviction midyear because they failed to pay their bills.
On the move
Barnett is a graduate of Evans High School and returned there to teach in 1993 after receiving his bachelors degree from Valdosta State University. He cycled through several different Orange County public schools over the next 13 years before resigning from the district. Just before he started Beta, he worked as a director for Richard Milburn Academy, a charter school company with several campuses in Florida, where his personnel records show he was terminated in April 2015. Barnett said he accepted a buyout because he frequently disagreed with his supervisor.
A year later, Barnett opened Beta. The school served at least 27 students and received $118,966 in state-backed scholarships during the 2016-17 school year, records show. All or nearly all of the students who attended used a scholarship available to children from low-income families.
“We did the best we could with what we had,” Barnett said. “It’s all about serving kids.”
The first year, Beta bouncedfrom a former Target store to a Hiawassee Road church to an office plaza on Orange Blossom Trail. At that location, classes met in a cluster of windowless offices alongside bail bonds offices with names like “Whozz Next,” and a place called “Drug Tests R Us.” The landlord evicted Beta after six months because Barnett wasn’t keeping up with rent, court records show.
Last year, the school landed at a second church near the Carver Shores neighborhood and stayed there until classes ended last spring.
The education department received complaints in March about the school from former teachers MaryKein Fuentes and Olga Ray, who said Barnett owed them money. Ray also claimed students told her that another employee touched their bodies under the guise of fixing their uniforms and watched child pornography on campus.
The Sentinel is not naming the employee because that person hasn’t been charged with a crime. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is not investigating the school. DCF has closed its case, though a spokesman would not say whether the agency found wrongdoing by the employee or the school, citing confidentiality laws.
Because Beta was a private school, the employee’s record there isn’t subject to public review, but personnel files from three previous public employers are. They show the employee was fired twice after a host of relatively minor offenses, such as repeatedly showing up late for work. The Orange County public school district investigated the employee, who worked there for 14 years, for misconduct several times. In 2002, the employee admitted to hitting a student in the face while breaking up a fight at Memorial Middle School, records show. The principal at Memorial reprimanded the employee, who resigned from the district in 2007.
“I knew he had a troubled background,” Barnett said. “You try to give your teachers a chance.”
The school closed not because of the complaints but because of financial problems, Barnett said, though he received more than $150,000 in scholarships during the 2017-2018 school year. By the end of the school year, Beta only had about 20 students, he said, not enough to make ends meet.
Beta had a one-year lease at Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church near Carver Shores, said Gary Johnson, the church administrator, and left at the end of that term. Johnson said the school owed a “substantial amount” of money by the time classes ended, though he declined to say how much. Barnett acknowledged he had missed rent payments and said he hopes to make them up eventually.
In August, Barnett opened a new school for grades 8 through 12in a church near his home in DeLand. Like Beta, the DeLand school relies on vouchers to pay tuition for the majority of the 46 students who attend.He said he hopeshe can keep the school running because he’ll face less competition from other private schools than he did in the Orlando area. The latest venture features mandatory uniforms, small class sizes, field trips to college campuses and amenities “envied by those across the state and region,” according to the website.
The school doesn’t offer any Advanced Placement or honors courses, though Barnett said he hopes to add them in the future. Five students are taking courses at Daytona State College through a dual enrollment program.
Teaching ‘kitchen chemistry’ without pay
Barnettdescribed the same type of vision for Beta — a technology campus designed to support low-income students — when he persuaded Martin to quit her job as a scientist in Texas and relocate to Orlando with her two small children on a week’s notice in 2016. She was enthralled with the idea of teaching science to disadvantaged students.
“I wanted to share my love of science with them because a lot of times, people who have made it in that field don’t come back and mentor,” said Martin.
But when she arrived, Martin said she realized Beta didn't have the equipment she needed to teach science. The campus in a former Target store on West Colonial Drive had no laboratories. No microscopes. When Martin protested, she said Barnett told her she needed to be creative. Teach kitchen chemistry, he said.
Barnett said he didn’t have enough money to outfit science labs when he opened Beta, but hoped to do so as enrollment grew. Asked whether he had such equipment at the DeLand campus, Barnett said he isn’t offering science classes until the second semester. The school operates on a block schedule, so students switch classes midyear.
There were other problems at Beta, Martin said. She and the other teachers reported to work Aug. 8, one week before classes started. She didn’t get her first paycheck until Sept. 30. Then, she didn’t get paid until Nov. 4. Her third paycheck came Dec. 14.
By that time, Beta had moved to a church on Hiawassee Road, where Martin taught in what appeared to be a Sunday school classroom. Some of the teachers had already quit.
Right after Christmas break, Barnett told Martin he was laying her off but refused to provide official documents she could use to qualify for unemployment. She sued Beta, saying she hadn’t received payment for about two months of work — at least $5,833. In July, an Orange County judge ordered the school to pay her $18,793, which includes her attorney’s fees and court costs. Barnett declined to comment on the suit.
Martin isn’t the only former employee who says the school missed paychecks or paid them late.
Ray, who lodged a complaint against Beta with the education department, said she never received her paycheck for November 2017. After teaching English at the school for three months, Ray quit when Barnett told her he was cutting her pay in half.
Her former colleague, Fuentes, also complained to the state in March 2018, saying she never received her December 2017 paycheck.
‘Not living up to what they’re promising’
Tequesha Harris-Permenter heard about teachers being paid late or not at all while her three middle and high school-age children attended Beta during the 2016-17 school year. The teachers seemed dedicated and well-qualified, she said, but several left the school within a few months.
Though her children previously had attended A-rated public schools, Harris-Permenter feared they weren’t receiving enough one-on-one attention, so she applied for and received the Florida Tax Credit scholarship for low-income families. Beta, which was brand new at the time, promised a technology-rich campus focused on science and math instruction.
“I did my homework,” Harris-Permenter said.
To complete the preparatory school experience she expected for her children, she said she spent hundreds of dollars out of pocket on uniforms.
But she was quickly disappointed. Computers that were supposed to arrive by the start of the school year never showed, Harris-Permenter said, and the school switched campuses twice during the few months her children attended.
And she worried her children’s grades, particularly those of her oldest daughter, then a high school junior, overstated their performance.
Fearing her children were falling behind, she transferred them to a charter school. Her oldest daughter didn’t get credit for a couple of classes she took at Beta, including math, so she didn’t graduate this past spring as planned. The teenager, who will turn 19 in December, is still finishing high school.
All parents have high expectations for their children, Harris-Permenter said, and the state should do more to ensure that private schools that take scholarship money provide the type of experience they advertise.
“A lot of these schools are just ripping us off,” she said. “They’re not living up to what they’re promising.”


It finally has arrived once again.
The greatest tournament in sports, where anyone can win and where Cinderellas make a name for themselves.
North Carolina (24-10) is in the field of 68 of course once again, but the Tar Heels have a tough road through the first weekend as the No. 8 seed in the South region, with a potential matchup with Kansas looming on Sunday,
But first things first, the Tar Heels will have to face a pesky Big East team in Villanova (20-13), led by head coach Jay Wright, who hasn't had the best of luck against North Carolina in the tournament.
The game will be played in Kansas City, MO on Friday night at 7:20pm eastern time (6:20pm central).
Head Coach Roy Williams was a little taken back when seeing his team seeded so low.
"The reaction, it was unusual. I don't mind telling you, I was stunned. When I saw North Carolina in the No. 8, I was stunned. It took me a couple of seconds (to realize), 'Hey, that's us. That's not somebody else---that's us,'" Williams said.
But all that is out the window now and the Tar Heels have to focus on how to defeat Villanova, who has been playing in one of the top tier conferences this year (the Big East received eight bids into the tournament this year).
As a No. 8 seed, which is tied for the lowest seed for UNC in the tournament, history has been good to the Tar Heels, as the Tar Heels reached the Sweet 16 in 1990 and reached the Final Four in 2000 before losing to Florida.
As mentioned before though, North Carolina has had Villanova's number overall (record of 10-4) and in the tournament, going 4-1 against Villanova in NCAA Tournament play, beating the Wildcats in 1982, 1991, 2005 and 2009 and losing in 1985.
But this year could be a little different, as North Carolina is in a little bit of a different position than they were in 2005, 2009, and even last year.
"(It's) great to be in Kansas City. Great to be in the NCAA tournament. To play this Carolina team, it's going to be challenging, a lot of fun. It should be a great game. Our guys are fired up to be here," said Villanova's Wright on Thursday afternoon.
With North Carolina winning their last 8 of 10, including making it to the finals in the ACC Tournament, the Tar Heels are looking to surprise a few more teams on their recent success, especially teams that might not know how to matchup with UNC quite yet.
But they can't overlook the Wildcats and what they have done so far this year.
"I've known (Villanova head coach) Jay (Wright) for a long time," Williams said. "He really does a really nice job. We've played twice in the NCAA Tournament. One was a great, really close game (in 2005). One was great for us (in 2009). But anyone that beats Louisville, Marquette, Georgetown, and Syracuse down the stretch, that's pretty impressive. And you've got to understand that."
Both teams have glaring issues that each will be looking to take advantage of.
MATCHING UP UNC AND 'NOVA
UNC and Villanova seem to contrast in styles and how they play, as the Wildcats play at a much slower pace than the Tar Heels and Williams like to play.
Villanova ranks #161 in the nation (as of Thursday) in points per game, only averaging 67.4 points, while defensively, the Wildcats are only giving up 64.9 points per game to their opponents.
Nova' likes to slow down the pace of the game, working the ball around and getting to the free throw line.
On average, the Wildcats shoot only 51 attempts a game, making around 21 field goals a game, ranking them near last in the nation in both categories.
But their success at the free throw line offsets their slow pace game, as Villanova leads the nation in free throws and attempts (averages 19 free throws out of 26.3 attempts a game).
Getting the Tar Heels in foul trouble, could certainly damper the party for UNC, as Williams has shortened his bench tremendously from the beginning of the year and the lack of offensive power coming off the bench (Leslie McDonald only true threat off the bench for the Tar Heels).
Villanova is led by their 6-7 sophomore forward JayVaughn Pinkston, who has been averaging 13.1 points per game and 4.9 rebounds per game.
Coach Wright has always liked to have close to a four guard lineup, similar to what North Carolina has had to use this year, as Nova' has four players around the perimeter that can shoot the three, while Mouphtaou Yarou is down in the paint (averaging 9.7 points per game and 7.8 rebounds).
However, the Wildcat's have two glaring weaknesses on the team, including defending the three and turnovers, something that UNC could take advantage of.
Villanova ranks over #200 in the nation in defending the three, giving up almost seven or more threes per game, while allowing teams to shoot 19 attempts per game, something that the Tar Heels have shined on all year long.
Coach Wright joked about UNC's hot outside shooting during his press conference with reporters on Thursday afternoon.
"That is an area we have struggled all year, is defending the three‑point line. So, of course, this is the way it works. Who do you get in the NCAA tournament? The only Carolina team that ever has relied strictly on a three‑point line (laughter). That's the way it works," Wright said.
During the ACC Tournament, the Tar Heels were firing on all cylinders from behind the arc, as Marcus Paige, Reggie Bullock, P.J. Hairston, and Leslie McDonald were lighting it up from behind the three.
During the tournament UNC shot 30 of 72 from three, with each game shooting 21 or more attempts.
"Transition defense, defending their threes, is really important," said Wright. "They're really good at it. (P.J.) Hairston within their offense can at any time find a three. Even if they're running something for (Reggie) Bullock, he can find one. I think this will be as good a three‑point shooting team as we've played all year."
"We've practiced against it. At the same time, if you leave a guy like (James Michael) McAdoo alone inside one‑on‑one, he's very effective. I think that's what makes them good," Wright continued.
Villanova struggles with turning the ball over, averaging 15.6 per game, ranking them #326 in the nation, so in addition to making outside shots, the Tar Heels will want to apply pressure defensively to force mistakes.
Since the smaller lineup change, the Tar Heels have thrived on forcing teams into turnovers, and this appears to be an opponent in which that trend could continue.
There could be multiple factors that determine the outcome of the game, but which team will be able to force their offense on the other could be the ultimate determining factor.
One can't look at records and determine who will win Friday's matchup, because if so, one could look at the Tar Heels record against tournament teams (2-8) this year, while looking at Villanova's record against Top 25 teams this year (4-2) and defeating three Top 5 teams.
Coach Williams would like nothing more to earn a victory over Villanova, not just setting up a possible matchup against his former team in Kansas, but also earning his 700th victory in his career, a true milestone for very few coaches.
The tournament is called March Madness for a reason and it looks like this tournament could be set up to just be that, with so many quality teams in the field of 68 and potential upsets all over the field.
North Carolina in Kansas City might be crazy to some, Coach Williams included, but all they can do now is go out and play quality basketball. If so, they'll certainly have a chance of surviving the weekend and moving on to next week's South Regionals in Arlington (Tex.).

President Donald Trump wants to cancel the 2.1 percent salary increase for federal employees that are scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, according to the letter that the White House sent to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate.
The letter indicates that the U.S. President has the right to implement changes on pay adjustments for civilian federal employees, citing that it would be inappropriate given the current economic status of the country. He said that federal agency budgets cannot sustain the increases to be applied.
Apart from the 2.1 percent pay hike, the across-the-board locality pay increases that were also scheduled for next year are likewise included in the pay adjustments that Trump wants to block.
Though the President has released this letter, Congress could still overrule this by passing the bill that would still include the salary increases. The ruling would take effect after the President has signed it. The Senate has already passed its version of the bill, with 1.9 percent increase for federal employees, however, Congress did not accept it.
The 2019 National Defense Authorization Act
The letter also states that the adjustment pays for federal employees would cost the government $25 billion, which could be ‘inappropriate,’ according to the letter.
Ironically, before the blockage of this pay increase, President Trump has signed the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act that would increase the salaries of the troops by 2.6 percent. Their basic allowance for subsistence and housing would also increase 3.4 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively.
Not the only critical move toward civilian federal employees
In May, President Trump also signed three executive orders: 1) reconstruction of federal bureaucracy that would allow easier termination for federal employees that have issues with performance and misconduct; 2) better negotiation of union contracts by departments and agencies; and 3) restriction of time that federal workers can spend on union-related concerns, per The Boston Globe.
The Democrats, together with the unions, think that this move to block the pay increase is a form of attack on civil workers, per The New York Times.

Accelerators and Superconductivity: LHC and
Near Future in Europe
Lucio Rossi, Member, IEEE
CERN, Accelerator Technology Department, CERN-AT,
Geneva 23, CH 1211; Switzerland
Abstract— Superconductivity and accelerators have mutually benefited of tight liaisons for more than 30 years. For the Large Hadron Collider, whose construction is finished and that is under commissioning at CERN in the Geneva area, some 1750 main superconducting magnets and about 8000 superconducting corrector magnets have been manufactured, cold tested and installed in the underground tunnel. Also the giant superconducting magnets for the LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, have been manufactured and tested in the final assembly. The paper reviews the goal of particle accelerators and the reason of success of superconducting technologies in accelerators. It underlines the main features of accelerator magnets and discusses in detail the characteristics of the LHC magnets. The trends in development of accelerator magnets, both for applications (medicine) and for future research projects (FAIR, CERN injector upgrade) are presented.
Index Terms— Accelerators and detector magnets, accelerators, large-scale superconductivity, LHC, Nb-Ti superconductors

An international team of researchers has identified a contagious form of cancer in Far Eastern mussels. The disease can negatively affect populations of the mussels, which are actively bred in Russia. The study was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
“form of cancer, in which the infectious agent is the cancer cells themselves, was first discovered in dogs in the mid-19th century. It was transmitted by a venereal route from a sick individual to a healthy one. In the 1990s, infectious cancer was discovered in the Tasmanian devil. It turns out that it occurs in only two mammalian species. Scientists used to think it was quite rare. However, today the picture of the world is changing – it appears that infectious cancer is very widespread among bivalves” – Maria Skazina.
Disseminated neoplasia is a massive fatal form of cancer of bivalves that can be compared to leukemia in vertebrates. In diseased mussels, cancer cells circulate in the hemolymph, which serves as blood. As neoplasia develops, they invade all tissues and organs, disrupting their function.
“Last year, a study was published that suggested a mechanism for cancer cell transmission between individuals. It turned out that when a mussel is stressed, its hemolymph cells can leave the body, exist for a while in the environment and penetrate other mussels. This process has been observed in healthy mollusks. It is possible that cancer cells use this very mechanism for infection, – says Maria Skazina. – However, this is only a hypothesis. Difficult experimental studies would be necessary to understand its validity”.
Two genetic lines of infectious cancer, BTN1 and BTN2 (from the English name of Bivalve Transmissible Neoplasia) have been described in the mussel genus Mytilus, the most important commercial invertebrate. Both are derived from the Pacific mussel Mytilus trossulus, which is found in the Far Eastern and Northern seas of Russia, among others.
“The BTN1 line is currently found only in one population of mussels on the Pacific coast of North America. At the same time, BTN2 is much more widespread – before our study, it had been recorded in mussels of other species in Europe and South America, but not in the parent species Mytilus trossulus,” says Maria Skazina.
In 2019, marine biologists from St. Petersburg State University, the A.V. Zhirmunsky National Research Center for Marine Biology and the University of Helsinki teamed up to look for contagious cancer in Russian seas mussels. To diagnose the disease, they developed an integrated approach, including cytological and molecular genetic tests, and applied it to mussels Mytilus trossulus from the Sea of Japan, in which disseminated neoplasia had previously been noted.
Neoplastic cells – large cells with polyploid nuclei and abnormal cytoskeleton resembling needles of a bristling hedgehog – were found in hemolymph of mussels from Gaidamak Bay near Nakhodka by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry methods. Genotyping of hemolymph and other tissues by nuclear and mitochondrial traits revealed genetic “chimerism” – the presence of more than one individual genotype in sick mussels. Multiple alleles (different forms of the same gene determining the development of a particular trait) were separated by molecular cloning. All mussel patients were found to have “additional” genotypes corresponding to BTN2. Thus, for the first time, SPbSU scientists together with their colleagues proved the presence of BTN2 in Mytilus trossulus and contagious cancer in mussels of the Sea of Japan and the Northwest Pacific.
In the next stage of the study, the scientists compared the BTN mitochondrial gene sequences they obtained using molecular phylogenetics with all the homologous sequences of the mussels themselves stored in the NCBI gene bank. It turned out that mitochondria BTN2 most similar to mitochondria Mytilus trossulus from the Russian seas. Probably, that is where the “patient zero” – the mussel, which “gave birth” to this infectious cancer, lived.
It also turned out that BTN2 is present in Baltic Sea mussels as well. In 2014, Polish biologists found an unusual mitochondrial genotype in one Baltic mussel, which they interpreted as that of Mytilus trossulus. It is now clear that it was not the genotype of the mussel, but of BTN2. It turns out that the contagious cancer that scientists were looking for in the Far East could be found much closer to St. Petersburg. However, how widespread the disease is among Baltic Sea mollusks remains to be seen.
At present, scientists are still searching for contagious cancer in mussels in different seas of Russia. Preliminary data suggest that it does not occur only in mussels of the Sea of Japan and the Baltic Sea and that its diversity is not limited to the BTN2 lineage. They are also developing a method for rapid diagnosis of the disease for the purpose of monitoring it in natural and commercial mollusc populations.

After a couple day hiatus, I return. Shirley Stamps, a pioneer in the school desegregation movement passed away yesterday at 59. For all those who seem to believe Affirmative Action has run its course, let us not forget that less than a generation ago school were segregated by law and now are segregated by fact.
Do you like what you hear? If you have managed to tune into Black radio have you noticed there is a striking lack of news, well at least credible news. The Black Commentator has a fly exploration of why that is. The FCC voted on Monday to relax restrictions on ownership of media and the cost could be high for our community. Some Dems and even some Republicans are thinking about taking congressional action to block the action. What every happened to People’s radio? Stay up!
I hadn’t written on this because I think I hold a grudge against Russell Simmons, but nonetheless it’s important! Simmons and company are trying to get the Rockefeller laws overturned through the, “Countdown to Fairness” coalition. So far they have gained some mainstream political clout as well as grassroots support from young members of the hip-hop generation. I heard the process was stalled recently when the city wouldn’t give him permits for a demonstration he wanted to had . . . good thing demonstrations are sanctioned by cities now, or else we may actually disturb something while demonstrating ;) And is anyone else scared of 50 cent speaking up on these laws? Is that who we want representing us?
Also, as Goodspeedupdate has reported, this week’s lead article in the University Record decries an editorial that was published in the Wall Street Journal saying U of M lied and supressed info about Pat Gurin’s research, a lynch pin in the Affirmative Action cases.

How many dishes that you cook could you honestly say are actually new?
Sure, we have more recipes than ever before - in cookbooks, magazines and any of thousands of recipe sites online - but almost all of them are variations on the things we already cook. That's not a criticism; I think exploring new flavours within our existing styles is fundamentally important. But the fact remains that even with all the whiz-bang new technology at our fingertips, we still love to cook what we know.
You could bemoan our lack of imagination in food, but I look at it differently. Everything we know about food is changing - where we buy it, what we can buy, what we consider healthy, how we eat, where we eat, how much it costs - butin our own kitchens we can make food that is just for us.
Adam Liaw recipe: Marmalade Custard Cake. Photo: William Meppem
In our own kitchens we get to look at everyone out there telling us what's good or bad for us, what we should be eating, doing or thinking, and hold a finger to our lips and say: "Shhh. I got his."
Sunday roast salad
This salad couldn't be easier. Roast a few ingredients together, then toss them with some leaves and a dressing. That's it.
• 6 chicken thighs, trimmed of visible fat
• 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
• 1 small red capsicum, deseeded and cut into strips
• 1 small eggplant, cut into 1cm cubes
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 anchovies, very finely chopped
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
• 8 cups mixed baby salad leaves
• black pepper, to serve
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• a pinch of salt
Heat your oven to 210ºC. Combine the chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, capsicum, eggplant, cherry tomatoes and anchovies in a bowl, add the oil and stir to coat. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a lined baking sheet large enough to fit everything in a single layer with a bit of space between the vegetables. You can use two baking sheets if you prefer. Season well with salt. Roast the chicken and vegetables for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are starting to char around the edges.
Whisk together the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Thickly slice the chicken thighs and toss everything together - the chicken, roast vegetables, raw onion, salad leaves and vinaigrette - so that the salad leaves slightly wilt under the hot vegetables. Grind over plenty of black pepper and serve.
Marmalade custard cake
This magical cake separates during the cooking process to a thick custard layer that sits below a spongy cake layer.
• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 125g butter, plus extra for greasing
• 4 eggs, separated
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1 cup plain flour
• 500ml milk
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• ¼ cup icing sugar
Heat your oven to 160ºC and line a 20cm square cake tin.
Combine the marmalade and butter in a small saucepan and heat until the butter is just melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the egg yolks and sugar, beating until pale and fluffy. Add a tablespoon of cold water and the melted butter and marmalade mixture and whisk to combine. Add the flour with the mixer set to a slow speed, and when it is incorporated add the milk a little a time until the mixture is smooth.
Separately whip the egg whites to firm peaks and add the vinegar, whisking to combine. Fold half the egg whites into the batter mixture until combined, then fold in the remaining egg white. Transfer to the cake tin and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is brown and the edges are well set. The cake should still be very wobbly in the centre. Cool to room temperature in the tin, then chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Remove, slice and dust with icing sugar to serve.
Even if you don't like anchovies, it's worth including them in this salad. They're finely chopped and will disappear during the roasting process, but will leave a rich flavour on the chicken and vegetables. If you must avoid them, add some porcini powder to the vegetable mix, or even gravy powder to increase the umami.

PUBLICLY listed companies and those with registered securities should inform the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week if they are having difficulty in filing the 2019 annual reports and 2020 first-quarter reports.
In a July 3 notice posted on its website, the SEC said it is giving five days from the notice’s issuance for companies to file their SEC Form 17-L, or the notice of inability to file annual reports and quarterly reports.
This after the June 30 deadline to file the said reports lapsed. The regulator earlier gave a 60-day deadline extension, acknowledging the problems faced by companies in submitting the reports amid the lockdown.
“Despite the aforesaid (deadline) postponement, concerned companies, or through their representatives, have filed queries for additional extension…[I]n view of the lapse of the period provided… concerned companies are given five days from issuance of this notice to file their respective SEC Form 17-L,” the SEC added.
It noted the non-filing of the SEC Form 17-L within the prescribed period will warrant consequences and will be treated on a case-to-case basis.
The SEC in March issued a memorandum circular extending the deadlines for the filing of annual reports to accommodate companies that are challenged by quarantine restrictions.
Companies that operate domestically were given until June 30 to submit their filings, while those that have foreign operations have until 60 days from the date of lifting of travel restrictions to submit. — Denise A. Valdez

Iberê Bassanti Camargo
Iberê Bassanti Camargo, Brazilian artist (born Nov. 18, 1914, Restinga Sêca, Brazil—died Aug. 9, 1994, Pôrto Alegre, Brazil), was a leading Abstract Expressionist painter who experimented with colour and form, using bold gestures and heavy paint encrusted on huge canvases. Camargo, who confessed that his first toys were a pencil and paper, was a loner who drew inspiration from childhood memories of his native countryside. After studying at a local art school, he continued his education (1939) at the Institute of Fine Arts in Pôrto Alegre before attending the National School of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro. He launched a professional career as a printmaker and returned to the National School of Fine Arts as the inaugural teacher of printmaking. Camargo dabbled in figurative and Constructivist art before exploring the limits of Abstract Expressionism. His style, initially typified by a light-hued pallette, was later marked by gloomy dark colours, anthropomorphic forms, and monstrous figures that produced an unsettling effect. Camargo, who saw himself as a cyclist peddling against the wind, also frequently used cyclists as a theme. His lack of artistic conformity--he would not bend to producing fashionable Surrealist-inspired fantastic art or to Brazilian abstract and conceptual art--resulted in the exclusion of his works from a retrospective of Latin-American art mounted in the U.S. and Europe.

Retaliation is a huge problem in the workplace, and this is why there are many legal protections in place in order to attempt to prevent it from happening. However, unfortunately retaliation still persists in the workplace after an incident occurs.
Most people have an idea of what sexual harassment is in our heads, and it is usually quite an extreme vision. It might be rape, forceful touching or blackmail. Although these things do constitute sexual harassment, many people do not realize that acts like this are only the tip of the iceberg. There are thousands of people throughout the country that have suffered sexual harassment that do not realize that legally, they can do something about it.
When you are demoted at work, it can be a very disheartening experience. You may feel as though your skills are being underestimated, and your confidence is likely to take a hit. But many have reason to believe that their demotion was wrongful.
There are situations in life that can be uncomfortable and awkward. This could mean meeting an ex in the supermarket and feeling awkward when he or she asks you on another date, or it could mean telling a friend that you want to stop hanging out with him or her.
Many people are confused as to where the line is drawn when it comes to sexual harassment. The most common and recognized form of sexual harassment is when a person in a position of power within the workplace asks another employee of a lower position to perform a sexual favor in return for a work-related reward. This might be a promotion or a pay rise in return for sexual activity of some sort. This is always completely prohibited in the workplace.
Being harassed or sexually harassed at work should never be tolerated, and the legal system has many protections in place for victims of harassment at work. If you are suffering at work because of another employee's behavior toward you, then you should take some time to understand how the law defines sexual harassment at work so that you can apply it to your specific situation.
Many people that are being sexually harassed at work feel that if they take action, they will be judged as making a big deal out of nothing. They might think that their boss needs to have attempted to have sex with them in order for it to constitute sexual harassment. However, it is important for all sexual harassment victims to know that this is not the case.
Unfortunately is extremely common for people both in professional and personal contexts to be subject to unwelcome sexual advances. This could be in subtle forms, such as unwelcome compliments in the office, or in much more unsettling ways, such as a manager attempting to engage in sexual activity.
When feeling intimidated, embarrassed or pressured by someone at work, it can feel terrible. But while trying to figure out the best way to deal with the situation, you may also wonder if you are making a big deal out of the situation. When feeling embarrassed about an event, it is likely that you would prefer not to raise any more awareness of the situation to others.
Sexual harassment at work can be a very unpleasant experience, and one that can make employees feel ashamed or embarrassed. You may also feel as though by taking action, you are making a big deal out of nothing. But this is not the case. If you have been feeling uncomfortable at work due to a colleague's sexual advances, the chances are that you have a reason to make a sexual harassment claim.
