Being A Noob at Maths Ain't that bad
A/N: This is an America/Russia fanfiction which includes fluffy mush stuff that anti-yaoi people don't wanna see. But if you don't like Yaoi, what are you doing here? Shoo~ The 'Back' button is just there. Right at the top left corner. Still here? Yay! The people are quite OC. My language isn't that great either. So, please forgive me if you find this boring. They are about… 17 or something in this story. And they are the same age.
Summary: Alfred sucks at Additional Mathematics. His teacher is giving on him. But, then, this guy who is super GOOD at the subject appears (He just never noticed the guy) and he approaches him with the excuse of being horrible at Add Maths (even though he is…)
"Alfred F. Jones. This has been the fifth time you have flunked your Additional Mathematics .What am I going to do with you?" His teacher sighed in exasperation.
Alfred was never good at additional mathematics. He hated Maths. He loathed numbers. He just never liked them. Flunking was not his fault. Okay, It WAS his fault for not studying. But he was just not interested.
His teacher passed his red-marked exam sheet back to him, "I suggest you learn from that boy… Uh… Ivan, who scores top in class."
Alfred took his paper from his teacher, rolling his eyes and turning around to walk back to his seat. He bit his lip. Who's Ivan? Even though he had been in this class for almost three years, he didn't know who this Ivan was.
Sitting back down in his own chair, he nudged his brother sitting next to him, "Iggy, who's Ivan?" he whispered.
Arthur looked at him like he was crazy, "What? Ivan Braginsky! The guy sitting at the back of the class. There!" he pointed to a light blonde haired boy, wearing a long sleeved beige shirt and scarf wrapped around his neck sitting in the last row, nest to the back door. Who wears scarves in the middle of summer? Alfred raised a brow. Sure. He didn't know this guy at all. Maybe he was just so quiet and scary and disappeared out of class just as fast as he got in, so no one saw him coming in or out.
"He's like the smartest guy in class too. He's so quiet you'd think he is scheming or cooking up some evil plan at the back there, yeah?" Arthur added, watching Ivan scribbling something in his notebook at high-speed, "He's got this really intimidating aura that says : 'I'm Emo, don't come near me' or 'I disembowel you if you touch a single strand of my hair.' Don't you reckon?"
Alfred nodded his head absentmindedly, not really listening to Arthur's blabs. Seriously, when was this Ivan even IN school, in THIS class? He never noticed him at all. But, he noticed that this boy, emitted an aura that was more pleasant that what his brother described him to be. And he found it quite interesting.
What he thought next was that he could use the excuse that he needed to ask some maths problems so that he could find out more about this guy.
The last bell rang, indicating that school was over, Alfred quickly packed his books. (He told Arthur that he would ask Ivan for maths tuition.) He looked to the back of the class. Good, Ivan was still there. Oh my god this person is fast, thought Alfred as he saw him practically sweep all books into his arms and getting up, like he had already prepared for leaving minutes ago.
Alfred slid through tables so fast that the corners jabbed him in the sides. Wincing, he was still determined to catch up with this mysterious boy.
"W-wait!" he called, grabbing the long sleeved boy's arm.
The boy turned around.
"Whoa." Alfred gasped for a while. Purple orbs stared at his blue ones intently. More like glaring at him intently. Okay, this does not mean good. But the purple in his eyes mesmerized him like a fly to the light. He just couldn't look away.
"Excuse me. Are you going to let go of my arm? I swear it's going to break with that kind of grip." Someone said. The voice came from the front of him. It sounded so sweet and soft…
Then only he realized the voice came from Ivan.
"O-oh. A-hah! Sorry!" Alfred let go of his arm like it was a hot plate.
"What do you want from me?" Ivan asked.
Alfred put one hand behind his head and pretended to scratch his head, "I'm Alfred… Oh, and I wanted to ask you to be my tutor for additional mathematics? Please?" he asked, using his puppy-dog eyes that Arthur taught him when they were still kids.
Ivan just stared at him blankly.
Alfred was not going to give up on this and chewed on his lip, "Please! I'll give you three burgers! Double cheese!"
Ivan winced at the thought, "No, no hamburgers, the disgusting things."
"I really need help! Since you're the smartest kid in class, share some of your smartness with me! Come on! Don't be selfish! I'd do anything!"
The American nodded.
The next moment, he swore he saw an evil glint in the Russian's eyes.
Alfred wondered how he got himself in this mess. He wore an apron, and held a mop in his hands.
"Alfred. You haven't got this part mopped up yet."
Alfred scowled at the Russian, sitting on the couch, reading his book about…
"How To Ask Someone Out? Why in the world are you reading such crap?" he asked, looking up from his mopping at the book in Ivan's hands.
Ivan's face pinked a little. Alfred looked at him.
"Ooh~ Ivan has a crush~!" Alfred squealed like a little girl. He smirked at Ivan, "Who is the unlucky person?"
Ivan frowned, "Shut up. Why does that person have to be unlucky?"
Alfred thought for a moment, the mop still in his hands, "Because, you, my not-friend-yet-friend, are so stoic and you have this evil aura coming out of you from all directions. Man, you've got to take a break. Maybe you're too smart for your age…"
"Shut up and do your work, pig."
Alfred shrugged and continued mopping. Stupid Ivan. Shouldn't have said '- I'd do anything.' In the first place. Now he was stuck with a whole year contract, paying for his tuition fees with Ivan by cleaning his house. The WHOLE house, EVERYDAY. Like, be his maid. For a year. After what seemed like ages, he threw down the mops and brooms.
"Whew. I'm done. Can we start now, boss?" Alfred sighed, mopping the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.
Ivan stood up to inspect the room. He brushed his finger against the table against the wall, "Not bad for an idiot."
"Hey! I'm not an idiot you commie bastard!"
"I'm not a communist."
"It just fits you. You look like one."
Ivan rolled his eyes "Whatever. Okay, where do you want to start?" he took out the textbooks and placed them on the table.
"The differentiation thingy."
"Okay. It's like this…" Ivan got out a pencil, paper and sat next to him on the floor, using the square coffee table as a proper table and taught him slowly, making sure he understood, explaining with most detail, looking at Alfred frequently to see if he understood
Ivan's voice is like music. Odd… Not odd enough to beat Iggy's faeries and weird black magic stuff… thought Alfred as he started to doze off.
"Alfred, do you understand?"
Alfred was already in dreamland with the UFO's to answer. He fell asleep on Ivan's shoulder.
Ivan jumped. He felt Alfred's warm breath against his neck. Turning to look at him, he found out that he was asleep. He poked Alfred's cheek, "Alfred? Alfred?" in hope to wake him up. No avail. No wonder he failed Additional maths. Ivan shook his head. He sleeps in class. I just started teaching him a bit of Differentiation and in five minutes, he's asleep. He's cleaning my house for nothing.
"Alfred, wake up." Ivan poked again. Nothing.
"Iggy~ I wanna sleeeeeeep~" Alfred moaned sleepily.
This time, Ivan poked him harder. More like shoved him over. Alfred fell towards the floor, head first.
"Oooooooooowie!" The American sat up, rubbing his head. He pointed accusingly at Ivan "You! Why the heck did you that?"
"I should be the one asking you! You fell asleep after I explained only five minutes of differentiation to you!" the Russian boy shouted back at him.
Alfred crossed his arms, "I was so sleepy after doing all that stupid house chores you gave me dumbass! Your fault!"
Ivan just gave him the cold look and turned to the textbooks again, "Do you want to pass this exam or what?"
Alfred bit his lip, and scooted over next to Ivan. He propped his head on his hand, listening to Ivan explain all over again. He looked at Ivan's serious face. He never noticed that Ivan had really pretty eyes. They were as clear as amethysts. Before he got lost in them, he quickly looked back at the book and paper that Ivan was scribbling on and focused on what he was saying.
"There, you must change the x into…"
Alfred paid attention, nodding to indicate he understood. If Ms.P's voice was so nice, he would have paid attention and never flunk his exams. Dumb Ms.P.
They studied until it was dinner time.
"Whoa. That was quite a intensive study session." Alfred yawned. His stomach grumbled, "That's from no snack-times and coffee breaks studying so much and using up all brain power to concentrate."
He got up, stretching, accidentally exposing a bit of his skin. Ivan blushed.
"Get a bigger shirt to cover the excess fat in you, pig." Ivan commented despite his slightly pink ears.
Alfred frowned, "I'm not fat! I'm just tall."
Ivan almost snorted. I'm taller. He thought, snickering to himself "Dinner anyone?"
"See? That's why you're fat! You eat too much junk."
The next day, Alfred just had the mood to go to Ivan's house even though he didn't like add maths or mop floors.
During recess, Alfred walked with Arthur to an unoccupied table, "Iggy, you should actually hear him speak! He doesn't sound emo and scary or anything like that. In fact, he's a really nice and cool guy! After that session yesterday, I just felt that…he is REALLY smart!"
Arthur rolled his eyes, listening to rants about Ivan from his younger brother. It was like he was obsessed or something. Obsessed with Ivan Braginsky? Never. No way.
"What are you? Obsessed with him or something? You've been at it all morning." Arthur jabbed a straw into his carton of orange juice.
"No! He's just a friend. I guess. We talked. We're friends right?"
Alfred's brother wanted to tape his mouth up as badly as ever. Would he stop talking about him for a while? Silence ensued between them for a while and Arthur was grateful. But…
"Look, Iggy! There he is!" Alfred cried. He waved at Ivan who just got his food, "Ivan! Ivan! Here! There's and extra seat here!"
What Arthur feared more than Francis trying to grope his ass just happened- Ivan came over and put his tray next to him. (Maybe not that bad, just exaggerating.)
"Ivan, this is Arthur my older brother. Arthur, meet Ivan!"
Ivan raised a brow and sat down next to Arthur, "Hi, nice meeting you."
"Yeah, nice meeting you too." Arthur mumbled.
Alfred unusually happy today, asked Ivan through a mouthful of hamburger, " Are you free this afternoon after school?"
The Russian boy nodded, "You can come over today. Are you sure you understood everything from yesterday?"
"Of course! I've got it all in this here!" Alfred points to his head where his brain was situated.
"Don't worry. I'll help you if you don't."
"See, Iggy, I told you he's nice." Alfred beamed back at his brother. Arthur scowled.
"Yeah, I hope so."
"Come on, Iggy!"
Ivan looked at them. He chuckled. Alfred was such a ball of happiness that just made him want to roll him in the heart of his palm and squeeze him. That sort of feeling. He smiled and resumed eating his lunch.
Alfred gasped. He smiled to himself, Ivan looked so cute when he smiled. Not like the serious Ivan who was days before. It made his heart skip a beat. Arthur saw it.
"Alfred, you're scaring me." Arthur mumbled, leaning away from the table, "Why are you so happy? Smiling to yourself and stuff?"
"He's just a bit crazy because of all the drills I gave him yesterday." Ivan stated.
Arthur agreed with him, "Maybe." Maybe this Ivan guy wasn't so bad after all huh?
"Where do I have to start cleaning now, your highness?" Alfred was already in the apron he wore while cleaning Ivan's house.
"My room. Upstairs isn't done yet."
"Okay." Alfred dragged the broom and the mop upstairs. When he reached, he looked down the corridor. Where the heck is his room. No. WHICH one is his room?
Alfred walked around, and finally came to stop at the room with a sign saying : IVAN'S ROOM. Do Not Enter.
"Well, I'm entering." Alfred said, pulling the stash in his hands into the unlocked room.
Alfred leaned his cleaning utensils against the wall, he looked around. He felt the wall for any light switches. He found them, and…
"Whoa..." Alfred looked around the room. 'Ivan loves flowers' was the first thought that came to his mind. The room was full of sunflowers and weird steel pipes- most likely taken from the toilets- strewn everywhere. The sunflowers were in a vase next to his bed, next to the bathroom door, next to the cupboard, on the curtains (It was the pattern of the curtains). And believe it or not, there was a sunflower plushie in the middle of the bed.
Alfred tried not to laugh. He picked up his broom and started sweeping. As he swept away, he bumped into the small bookshelf next to the study desk. The bookshelf shook and something fell out of it.
"Ouch." He massaged his sore side, and looked around. He saw a small brown book on the floor. Curious, he picked it up and looked at it. No title, no name, no label. Weird book. He flipped it open.
It was last year's entry.
20 August 2009
He never notices me. Even when I walk past him. He's really cool, his personality is like sunshine, and I have never met such a person before. I want to just be his friend. Previously I just thought he was an annoying cheerful and positive idiot who just poked his nose into everyone's business. But, I feel like there's something more to him. I actually like him a lot. Because of his sunny personality. It's so stupid. I've never felt this way before. I'm such an idiot.
Alfred's eyes widened, Must be Ivan's crush! He grins to himself. He would find out the secret person and taunt Ivan with it! Good!
He flipped a whole lot more pages.
There were a bunch of other entries about living in a field of Sunflowers.
Entries written in his native tongue- Russian.
And boring school stuff.
11 September 2010
His eyes are like sapphires when they are in the light. So beautiful. Like the snow back home. His name that I have never mentioned before is…
Alfred jumped, startled by the voice "What? What?" he shouted, dropping the book that he had in his hands.
"Where the hell did you find this?" Ivan stormed into the room, bending down and snatching the diary away before the American could pick it up.
"It fell off the shelf okay? I didn't mean to see! I swear! I didn't even read anything!" Alfred lied. He didn't really see anything but he did find something…
Ivan sighed in relief. He sat on his bed, "Oh my god that was close…"
Alfred was feeling a bit frustrated and annoyed partly because he didn't get the information he wanted. He was so close to finding out something. And also he was awkwardly annoyed by the fact that Ivan REALLY had a crush. He just felt an uneasy feeling wash over him.
"We're good?" Alfred asked, sitting next to the Ivan. Ivan looked at him.
"I'm not forgiving you for this so easily you fat pig." Ivan looked really scared. And shaken. What was it? What was so important and private in there that he couldn't know?
"Aww, please… Tell mee~ Who?" Alfred pleaded.
"Who what?" Ivan snapped.
"Who it is. Please, please, please, please."
"Ivan's no fun."
"What makes you think I would tell you?"
Alfred pouted, "We're friends."
Ivan glared at him, "No we're not. I'm just teaching you Add maths. That's all." He looked away and played with his sunflower plushie.
Alfred just sat there, "We'll be friends. I know it. We'll start over."
"Come on, teach me another chappie and I'll treat you to burgers."
"No thanks," Ivan stood up, taking the book with him "You can stop cleaning this room. It's too dangerous for you to be here."
Alfred pursed his lips and nodded, not forgetting to take the brooms out of the room before shutting the lights.
For the next few weeks, Alfred would look out for anyone who went near or talked to Ivan.
France the pervert was Alfred's initial suspect, being able to grope everybody. But, N-ah, that can't be. France only chased his brother around these days. He was being oddly loyal. And Alfred was pretty happy with that.
It couldn't be Toni either 'cause he was currently with Berwald, the scary Swiss. Alfred thought them weird. Toni just followed him everywhere like a chick following the mother hen. A really cold and boring relationship. Who knew?
Then, Alfred noticed this Chinese guy who seemed quite close to Ivan. What was his name again? Oh yeah, Wang Yao. He always spent his time during recess with him. They would talk for hours and laugh so loud that Alfred could hear them in the other table.
It was the same in class too. Alfred put him in the suspect list as the top suspect.
"Hey, Iggy, don't you think they look close. Like close, close?" Alfred asked Arthur who looked up from his Biology notes.
"Huh? Who?" Arthur asked, looking around.
Alfred sighed, "Ivan and Wang."
"I don't know. They just look close…"
'Iggy' just looked at him. Suddenly, this revelation hit him like a wave. He looked at his younger brother who was looking at them in envy.
Ah ah… He's jealous. My dumb brother the nitwit has grown up! He's in love!
But Arthur wouldn't tell him. No. He was going to let him figure that out for himself.
Alfred blushed when Ivan turned to look at him, after Wang Yao had left and returned to his seat.
Oh my god! What was this funny heat rising to his ears? Alfred looked down at his table, hiding his face in his arms, hopefully enough to also hide his ears from view. His heart just went ticking fast like it was going to explode any second.
Arthur pretended to continue reading his Biology notes when in actual fact, he was sniggering behind them. Ah, Alfred, how cute.
Alfred, still feeling the heat in his ears, responded with a small 'Hnn' so that he wouldn't need to get up.
"Are you coming to my house today?"
It was Ivan. Alfred took deep breaths to cool himself down. What the hell was going wrong with him? He looked up, "Nope," he answered in his usual tone "I gotta be home with Iggy 'cause mum needs help with the cookies. New neighbors." He said "Why?"
"Oh, nothing much. I was just making sure. Wang Yao is coming over."
"O-oh," Alfred's heart dropped "Studying?"
"Yeah. And we got some other stuff to do too, so…"
"Uh-huh. Cool, see you tomorrow then." Alfred's voice shook a little for some reason. He cleared his throat "See you then." He repeated and looked away, pretending to look for something in his stack of books.
He waited until Ivan was out of sight before he turned to Arthur. He put his forehead on his older brother's shoulder. Why was he so confused and angry? He didn't get it.
The next day at Ivan's house, Alfred just studied as usual with Ivan, covering another chapter. And at the end of the day, having debates about what they should have for dinner.
"Do you have anything in your fridge?" Alfred pulled the refrigerator door open and peeked inside. Okay… Vodka, cabbage, lettuce, a small piece of cheese so small it wasn't even worthy for a mouse. Alfred's eyebrow twitched, "How the hell do you survive on this… this… stuff!" he left the fridge and searched the cupboards. What the hell? Rows and rows of canned soup.
Ivan shrugged, "I'm used to it. My parents aren't here, so, I don't really cook. I don't know how to cook anyway."
"What? And you never bothered to learn anything to fix for yourself? Canned soup is bad for health! And Vodka! You're still underage!"
Ivan ignored him and sat down on the sofa with a soft plop, "Do you cook? Make me something then." He suggested, putting his arms behind his head.
"Hmmm…" Alfred pulled out a can of soup and a cabbage, "I might be able to do something with these two things… Oh, just help me UFOs I don't burn anything." He dumped the stuff on the table and pulled out a pot.
Ivan watched Alfred's back, getting to work, chopping up the cabbage, and prying the can open, emptying the contents into the pot.
Minutes later, the smell of soup filled the kitchen.
"Whew! This sure beats Iggy's cooking!" Alfred exclaimed, pouring the soup into two bowls "Hey, Ivan! Dinner's done!"
Ivan got out of the sofa and walked over to the kitchen, "Whoa, that smells good." He sat down at the dining table.
"Yeah! And I added all sorts of weird stuff in there!"
Ivan flinched. Excuse me? Weird stuff? Was Alfred's cooking actually safe for eating?
Alfred placed the bowl in front of him, "Eat up!" he said as he himself sat down and poked a spoon into his soup. It looked all orangey and all, with chunks of whats-its floating in it. He swallowed a whole spoonful of the concoction.
"Hey! Not bad!" Alfred cried, spooning more soup into him mouth.
Ivan looked at his own soup. If Alfred was eating it, it was most probably edible. He tried it himself.
"Not bad, eh." Alfred laughed, "I so rock."
Ivan chuckled, nodding in agreement.
Alfred looked around the table and reached for the pepper and his hand mashed into Ivan's which was also reaching for it. There was an awkward pause. Their hands seemed to stay there, stuck.
"Uh… You can have it first." Alfred spoke up, feeling a little warmth spread through his cheeks. Something's happening! Something's happening! Alfred thought.
"Oh. Okay, sure. Thanks, Alfred." Ivan took the pepper and shook it over his soup, later passing it to Alfred who took it hesitantly.
Alfred felt that warmth getting a little too uncomfortable. It was turning hot. Not warm. He freaked out. It's the feeling again! He bet that his ears must have turned red like yesterday. What was going on? They both ate in silence.
"I'll clean." Alfred volunteered.
"No, it's my house, I'll clean."
"N-ah, I messed up the kitchen."
"Fine, we'll both clean."
"Okay." Alfred agreed, picking up the bowls and walking over to the sink, putting them in gently with a chink of ceramic against ceramic.
"Gloves are over there." Ivan gestured to the gloves hanging on the wall next to the sink, "You wash, I rinse."
They washed their plates in their respective sinks and the funny thing was, their hands just kept bumping into each other when Alfred put his plates in Ivan's rinsing water.
This time, Alfred shrugged off the fuzzy feeling that was building up in his heart. I'm sick, he told himself. Gotta go see a doctor or talk to Iggy.
That night, he DID talk to 'Iggy'. He knocked on Arthur's room door, "Arthur. Arthur?"
A small "Come in." came from the inside.
Alfred opened the door and stepped in, "Iggy. I need to ask you something." Arthur was lying down on his stomach, reading a book.
"What is it?" Arthur asked, not looking up. He flipped a page.
"It's like this. I think I'm sick."
"Hmm…" Arthur nodded "Why do you think so?" he flipped another page of the book.
"I am starting to have these strange palpitations and I feel hot all of a sudden and- Iggy! Are you listening to me? I might be dying and you don't care?"
"IGGY!" Alfred stomped indignantly before storming out of the room.
After the door closed with a slam, Arthur looked up, " Nope, you're not dying. You're perfectly normal." He grinned.
"Look… They're together again."
Alfred's head snapped up. There they were. Ivan and Wang Yao, walking together to the library.
Arthur looked at Alfred, " I wonder what they are doing in there together…"
Alfred clenched his fists. He didn't know why he was so mad at the thought and he was perplexed, "Come on, Iggy, let's go back." He said and dragged Arthur by the hand away from there. Hahaha~ Arthur just loved making Alfred jealous. After all, his silly brother didn't know anything.
Alfred chewed on the end of his pencil and popped the question, " Do you like Wang Yao, Ivan?"
"Why are you asking this question?"
"No reason. Just thinking that you guys are really close." Alfred watched Ivan write something into his notebook.
Ivan seemed to ignore the question. But later he answered, "We're just close friends. We were friends since junior high."
"Why are you so concerned?"
"Can't a friend ask some random question like this?" Alfred faked a laugh. Ivan seemed incredulous.
Ivan looks at him, "Alfred… Don't pretend. I know there's something wrong. You have been looking a bit…glum these few days."
Alfred didn't know what came over him as he bit his lip, eyes welling up with tears. He hid his face in his hands. Tears just came pouring out of his eyes. This is ridiculous. He thought, but he just couldn't stop.
"Alfred. Tell me." Ivan's soothing voice came really close to his ear and he felt something warm wrap itself around him.
Alfred hiccupped. He knew this was stupid. But he couldn't stop, "I-ivan… I feel so confused…"
"What is it?" warm hands brushed down his blonde locks.
"I don't know… I feel weird around you. I don't like Wang Yao hanging around you! I just don't like… I don't know! My heart goes very fast and I feel hot like I have a fever. Am I falling sick? Ivan! What am I supposed to do? I must be dying! It's a disease!"
Alfred heard a small chuckle. He looked up through eyes blurred by tears.
"No, you're not sick," Ivan tilted his head with a finger so he looked at him, "It means this."
The next moment made Alfred's heart stop. Ivan had closed the gap between them, locking their lips together. Alfred's eyes widened, unable to move. But, he started to slowly kiss back, putting his arms around the Russian.
When they broke apart, Alfred gasped and put his hands to him lips. Ivan had kissed him. KISSED HIM. That just pulled a plug in Alfred. What the heck. He was worrying about having an incurable disease when I was actually all just…this. He loved him. That's why all the annoyed feelings. Plus the warm fuzzy feelings he got whenever their fingers or eyes met.
"Do I have to explain that too?" Ivan asked, his facial expressions inscrutable.
Alfred stuttered, "But the diary. That person is…"
"Alfred F. Jones."
"It's you, silly."
"How was I supposed to know?"
"I didn't want to tell you just in case you freaked out. I have liked you for more than a year already… and…" Ivan blushed.
Alfred laughed, "You're so cute when you blush."
Ivan turned redder.
"Does that mean you'll let me see that diary now?"
Ivan sighed, "Why? You already know it's you."
"You don't want me to see it because it is actually Wang Yao inside. Isn't it?" Alfred looked horrified.
"No! You idiot!"
Alfred pulled Ivan into a hug, "I know… Love you, Ivan."
"Me too."
11 September 2010
His eyes are like sapphires when they are in the light. So beautiful. Like the snow back home. His name that I have never mentioned before is Alfred F. Jones. The one that lights my every day.
OMG…that was totally plotless and corny! But reviews please! I will give you all chocolate chip cookies and cake!

Selected stocks up or down 10% or more or up or down 5 points or more. Primarily the list is for generating multi-day long short ideas. Not every stock on this list qualifies, in fact very few qualify as long term buy and sell.
Sometimes a major one day move kicks off a multi-month or multi-year rally.Most of such significant moves are precipitated by a new information about the company in terms of earnings, new products, new management, new industry dynamics, new discovery, new regulation, new news from sector,new overall market trend, new earning cycle, new pricing power, new merger/takeover industry dynamics, etc. New information creates price shocks.The new information in some case is so significant that it fundamentally alters market participants view of the stock or sector.
Episodic pivots can often offer major low risk buy or sell opportunities.

Looks like another good day for growth stocks including some on this list. CBLI and KRSL are up over 15%. KRSL is a good play on the commercial aircraft boom. Anything to do with this sector is on fire including specialized steel and alloys.

Over and again the term 'money' attracts much more visitors to my articles than any various other. This is the secret that operates the entire world Order and the nutrition that develops strength in communities and countries. Yet, it really is nothing but a dream and a thought of bad that surfaced through the two beasts of Revelation and its purpose is to destroy the entire world. Anyone who has a debate with that idea needs only to browse around at what exactly is taking place today.
Climate change and international heating will be the big things, but not the greatest. The potential the war of conflicts is looming and the total collapse regarding the economic climate is but a matter of time. Because it is centered on nothing more than a thought of trade and the transfer of products for credit it absolutely was constantly doomed to failure.
Nobody gets ordinance such as bombs, firearms, plane, drones, military products, vessels, as well as other things without one. Similarly, no one adopts a forest and slices the woods down unless there's money as a reward. Yet again no one fishes out the oceans unless there are clients the produce although the undesired by-catch is discarded as waste. And just who digs up mountains and transports a lot of metals as well as other things throughout the world for anything under money?
Earning profits is in the heart and head of many just who think bit towards after-effects of their actions. They truly are only 1 in millions doing exactly the same just how can their tiny bit influence anything? The response to which to view a nest of ants. Each small ant can only do so a great deal whilst chops up something tasty because of its neighborhood. With scores of them doing exactly the same the prize is quickly gone.
Humanity has now reached such a percentage it is a case of a short time before most of the planet's products are consumed. It is taking place today while the fish shares inside ocean are pushed to breaking point. Creatures influenced by jungles to endure may also be facing extinction. Within their location terrible things have emerged to spread the poison. They consist of medications, corruption, slavery, life-threatening viruses, diseases, and fundamentally starvation, to mention but a few.
The carrot is quick disappearing as hoarders just take much more than they require although have absolutely nothing. God is fundamentally at fault! The beasts were delivered to develop this very scenario and so they made it happen through religion. That includes bound people to follow inside footsteps of untrue gods and prophets which are also innovations to drive the communities on restriction.
With memory of my reincarnation I believe that everyone who has got lived has returned and once again religion has brought this about by its dogma. Judgment is occurring today and those that have put money ahead of their spirituality are having to pay the cost. Regardless of how wealthy one is they can't escape the wrath of God.

so i used to talk to this guy a lot and it kind of stopped cause we both got busy and he always ended the convo by just not replying to the latest text from me.
BUT ANYWAY he texted me the other day saying that we never text anymore, so i replied with "that's because you always stop replying" and the convo went on for a while until i stopped replying... oops
Anyway, he texted me this morning at around 9am saying morning, and i replied around 1pm saying good afternoon (because i forgot to check my phone in the morning). He didn't reply, and instead tweeted "we dont talk anymore because you take too long to reply".
SOO MY QUESTION IS, what is something witty i can text to him so that he knows i want to talk and i'm not just blowing him off like i did the other night?
Most Helpful Guy
He sounds impatient. I always love when a girl texts me back quickly because it means she is really into and wants to get to know me more. People get busy in life, it happens. But he has to know you are not glued to your phone and sometimes need to put it down because you need two hands to do something. You didn't do anything wrong he just sounds like he wants you to just respond to him instantly and life is not always instant gratification. He has to express some patients and if he is really into you then he will not worry so much or act like a jerk.00|00|0

My son wears Parent's Choice. It's pretty good price ($5 per bag size 1) that's 50 diapers they hold fluid really well and we've had no explosions outside the diapie.
I have never used that brand... but my sister just picked up their pullups and said they worked nice!
We also use Parent's Choice, their the walmart brand. I had my reservations but I'm amazed at how well they work! No leaks!!
thats good to know. we looked at them but i was unsure since i knew nobody who used them. we have tried pampers and luvs. the pampers were not so bad but expensive and i find the loves leaky and now starting to get a rash. will def try this brand
The only thing that I don't like about this brand is that there's like 8 less diapers in each size increase

He said it was because he found me. We dated only once, OK, it was amazing but wasn't it a bit too quick? I'd prefer things slowing down a bit. How does he know from only one date that it is going to work?
Most Helpful Girl
That's a bit extreme.
He must really like you to do that.
Even though I may feel that way about someone, it's still only one date!
The fact that he did that although he didn't have to should show you that
most likely he is not a player and wants to commit himself.
Not a bad thing if you look at it that way.

ATLANTA — When Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed found out a neighboring community had made a generous offer to help finance a new Braves stadium, he balked and said the city simply couldn't compete.
Reed's decision comes a few months after the mayor faced tough criticism for pushing through a plan to use public money to support a new NFL stadium downtown. And it underscores the challenges facing cash-strapped communities nationwide as they weigh the risks and rewards of using public money to help finance major sports venues.
"The bottom line is that the city was presented with a choice, and that choice was encumbering between $150 million to $250 million in debt and not having money to do anything else," Reed said, referring to the city's share of costs for desired improvements at Turner Field.
Instead, the mayor announced Tuesday that Turner Field would be demolished when the Braves leave in 2017, making way for a new large-scale development. Reed has said the city couldn't match Cobb County's offer of $450 million in public support to the Braves, though the team disputes that figure.
When faced with the question of how much to contribute to stadium construction or refurbishment, local leaders have to weigh the state of their community's finances. In Atlanta's case, Reed said the city has a $900 million backlog in infrastructure projects.
In defending his decision, Reed argued the Braves situation was much different than the city's plan to contribute at least $200 million in public funding to support a new $1.2 billion, retractable-roof stadium for the Atlanta Falcons. Reed said the Falcons deal will use the city's hotel/motel tax for improvements to state-owned property where the NFL stadium will be built.
There was no such funding mechanism for the Braves, so any contributions would have forced the city to take on significant debt, Reed said.
"It doesn't mean I don't want the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta," Reed said. "We're not going to put the city on its back financially."
Reed touted the public's relatively small share of costs for the NFL stadium. Long said that was lower than the average of about 70 percent in public money for stadium projects.
William Perry, executive director of the government watchdog group Common Cause Georgia, was a vocal critic of the mayor for not seeking more public input on the Falcons stadium deal. He said this week that the mayor appeared to be applying inconsistent logic by fighting for the Falcons but letting the Braves leave.
Braves executives said the decision to leave Turner Field was based on several factors, including $150 million needed to replace seats and pay for other upgrades as well as another $200 million to improve the fan experience. The team cited a lack of mass transit options in the area, too few parking spaces and limited freeway access.
"Our new location will give us the opportunity to develop the surrounding area of the new ballpark, transforming it into a mixed use, 365-day destination and creating an enhanced atmosphere for our fans during Braves games," the team said in a statement.
Studies have shown stadium projects create only modest increases in overall tax revenue and job creation, Long said, although more teams are taking a role in developing lodging, entertainment and retail around the venues.
"In part, this is evidence of a trend where teams are more interested in development around the stadium as part of their evolving business model," Long said, adding that it can also help with gaining approval. "However, these urban development benefits ... are slow to materialize."
For Cobb County, the benefits of the project are clearly worth any risk.
"This makes Cobb's marketability so much stronger, and it helps us become more than a suburban community," said Brooks Mathis, an executive with the Cobb Chamber of Commerce who helped negotiate the deal. "We are going to see huge benefits for many, many years to come especially having such a wonderful organization like the Braves be a part of our community."

"This hospital reception area and ..."
About: Sunderland Royal Hospital Sunderland Royal Hospital Sunderland SR4 7TP
Posted by Try listening to your patients! (as ),
What I liked
This hospital reception area and corridors are generally clean, well lit and well sign posted though those extremely uncomfortable, cheap and nasty wooden chairs in the reception area all need to be thrown on a bonfire this November!
The receptionists are very polite & helpful, and most, though sadly not all of the nursing staff are helpful.
What could be improved
As a disabled person I found the changing cubicles in the Urology department at this hospital an absolute joke. There were no support handle to hold onto to prevent falling and the wall mounted stool available was so low that the only group of people that would benefit from it would be children.
However, the worse is the lack of meaningful dialogue between the Consultants/Doctors and their Patients.
Far too many times have I expressed my views as to what I can and cannot do when I'm asked to attend this hospital for medical procedures. I'm always told that these procedures will be adjusted or modified to suit my needs.
Needless to say that when I arrive at whatever department for whatever procedure, the medical staff always state that they have received no additional information or instructions concerning my other health problems and they are never willing to adapt nor modify the way they carry out their procedures on the day.
This has happened to me so many times during the past 10 years at this hospital that I've now instructed my GP to never refer me to any consultant at this hospital again.
Anything else?
This hospital seems to follow the existing Disability Discrimination Acts right up to the point when the patient enters their consultant's room and then it's a case of "We're in charge here and we'll do it our way!"

A lovely place to stay - owners couldn't have been more welcoming.
We stayed here with our 2 children (ages 2 and 4) for a night before going to the Eden Project.
The owner could not have been more welcoming. The rooms were perfect for us because we wanted a separate room for our two children, but joined to ours, so we had rooms 5/6 which were linked. Breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared/cooked. We had an evening meal at the fish and chips restaurant a short walk away which was lovely and we would recommend it. A great place to stay.

Very nice
Arrived at 3.50, 10 minutes early, told by owner she was working and could not book us in , so sat in the garden for 20 minutes until the owners were ready to take our details..
another delay whilst printer was dismantled . Room was pleasant if not very dark. Meals were good. And tasty , some of the house rules seem a bit extreme , may be denied entry between 11 and 4. Will not stay again.

From the moment we arrived until the time we left, Lynn, JJ and their staff did everything they could to ensure our stay was a good one.
The room was warm and comfortable. We were at the rear of the building with an imposing view of the old tower nestling among the trees. Breakfast was excellent. During our stay I sampled most of the menu and can vouch for the quality of it all. St Benet's Abbey also has a residents' bar which we used just once during our stay. I sampled one of the local beers and had a good chat with Lynn about the history of the Abbey. The only issue we had during our stay was the weak Wi-Fi signal in our room; but in a 400 year old building with four feet thick walls, that is inevitable. And there is always the bar, which I used once when I needed to get good signal. St Benet's is situated 10 minutes walk from the village of Lanivet which has several shops and two eating establishments. Bodmin itself is just 10 minutes away by car and the main A30 just two minutes. St Benet's is centrally situated and an ideal location for touring all of Cornwall. We found St Benet's a warm and friendly base for our week and would recommend it without reservation to anyone looking to see the best that Cornwall has to offer. We are hoping to return to Cornwall and will definitely be using St Benet's again when we do.

This is the $5195 cage built for an autistic 10-year-old boy in a Canberra public school. http://t.co/qVVk0lHbOz pic.twitter.com/kGjO7z8bre — Canberra Times (@canberratimes)
September 9, 2015
A public school principal in Canberra, Australia, has been fired from her job for building a "calm down" cage to house a young boy with autism. The child is believed to have been physically abusive toward both his teacher and other students.
The 2-meter by 2-meter cage made out of blue metal fencing was constructed by an external contractor, paid for with $3,650 in school funds. The disturbing installation even had a roof and a rear door that could be latched shut.
Sadly enough, the staff even placed the autistic student – whose name, along with the school and principal's hasn't been made public – in the classroom cage on one occasion.
The cage, apparently built to provide the student with a calm place, was installed on March 10 and dismantled just 14 days later after the ACT Education and Training Directorate found out about the atrocity and ordered the school to remove it.
The education department asked for an independent inquiry, which ran for more than five months and has only recently revealed that the principal was the sole instigator of the decision to build the cage. It had been constructed "without input, consultation or approval from within the school or the directorate."
As punishment for her outrageous act, the principal is not allowed to teach at a government school again.

While the news about the cage broke out some time ago, the emergence of these heartbreaking pictures has instigated uproar among parents, who are complaining about being kept in dark all throughout the investigation.
"I accept that the community rightly wanted answers as to how such a structure came to be," said ACT Education Minister Joy Burch. "Information about this is now freely available to the public."
Calling the cage "disgusting," she also slammed the media for publishing the pictures.
"Publishing [these photos do] not assist in getting to the truth or add any more insight as to why it was constructed," she added.
As disturbing as the incident was, it surely serves as a wakeup call and has sparked a debate on how schools are supposed to deal with children with extreme behavior.
The ACT directorate's Director General Dianne Joseph claimed that authorities checked other schools to ensure no others are using such humiliating behavior control techniques. She also acknowledged that schools regularly use withdrawal spaces for students with special needs.
"These spaces can take a range of options and are implemented regularly – they could be a learning support assistant take someone outside for a walk in the school grounds, or it could be a safe reading corner still visible but around the corner," she explained.

In Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in Latin America, the authors examine the impact of projected climate change on future food production and food security in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), to 2100. According to some accounts, climate change could be a devastating prospect for the indigenous peasantry of South America, and for LAC prospects as a food exporting region. However, temperate areas like the Southern Cone and parts of the Andean Highlands might actually benefit from some increase in temperature and the projected rise in precipitation. Demographic and economic drivers might themselves mitigate some of the potential effects of climate change, by reducing the size of the subsistence peasantry and generally improving access to food. And much improvement could be achieved through progress in agricultural technology, even if it progresses at rates lower than the historical record. Agricultural production and access to food may be further improved by measures creating better institutional and regulatory frameworks in the region and by more appropriate policies towards agriculture. However, the authors point out that governance in South America will have to mature before effective policy based responses to climate change can be expected.
Following the introductory chapter, Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in Latin America begins by examining the general conceptual and methodological issues regarding food security and the analysis of impacts of climate change on food production and security. Present trends in food production and security in the LAC region are examined. Some major crosscutting issues related to climate change are considered: possible future trends in El Nino Southern Oscillation, sea level rise, and the prospects for the Amazon forest. Possible future evolutions of agriculture and food security in the region are explored. Policy recommendations for public authorities, covering support for agricultural production and guidelines for reducing poverty and enhancing access to food for the most vulnerable groups, are set out. The final chapter summarises Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in Latin America's main conclusions.

Scripture Reference: Exodus 1:1-2:10
Suggested Emphasis: Parents have love and concern for their children.
Story Overview:
Almost 400 years had passed since the time when Joseph invited his family to move to Egypt. The Pharaoh who now ruled Egypt hated the Israelites and worried that they had became so numerous. He made them slaves and ordered the deaths of all baby boys born to them. To save her infant son, Jochabed placed him in a basket and hid him among the reeds along the Nile River. His big sister, Miriam, watched after him. Pharaoh's daughter discovered the baby as she was bathing and adopted him and raised him as her son. She called him Moses.
- What happened before this story?
- What happens after this story?
- List of all Bible stories and themes on this website.
Way to Introduce the Story:
Older children could look up Egypt on a map. Bring books from the public library or National Geographic Magazines to show pictures of the Nile River. Discuss what it would be like on the edge of a river. There would be squishy mud and reeds. Ask younger children if they have ever been to a river or if they have ever stepped in mud. "Today's story from the bible takes place right beside a river."top top
Ways to Tell the Story:
This story can be told using a variety of methods. Always remain true to the facts found in the Bible but help children connect to its meaning by using drama, visual aids, voice inflection, student interaction and/or emotion.
Click here for visual aids and story-telling methods.
Review Questions:
- Why did the new Pharaoh hate the Jews? Because there were so many of them and he thought they might join with Egypt's enemies.
- How did the Pharaoh treat the Jews? He made them slaves and made them work very hard. He was cruel to them.
- What did the Pharaoh say must happen to baby Jewish boys? They would be thrown in the river to die.
- Who were Moses' mother, brother, and sister? Jochabed (mother), Aaron, and Miriam.
- How did Moses' mother hide him? Put him in a woven basket that was made to float in the reeds beside the Nile River.
- Who found the basket with baby Moses inside? The Pharaoh's daughter.
- What did Pharaoh's daughter do? She adopted Moses and raised him in the palace.
Learning Activity and Crafts:
(How to choose the best learning activities for my teaching situation)
- Use flax or paper and weave a small place mat.
- Have the children look up the book of Genesis and read some of the key verses in today's story.
- Show family photos of newborn babies and their parents.
- Ask someone with an infant to come to class today. Discuss how difficult it would be to keep the baby hidden.
- Older children could learn some basic babysitting principles.
- Younger children could wrap dolls in blankets and put them in baskets.
- Find Egypt on a map or globe. Let children find the Nile River.
- Make a relief map of Egypt.
- There are many books about ancient Egypt in most public libraries. Take the time to obtain some of these books. They will really enhance your bible lessons over the next weeks. You will find photos of the Nile River and of Pharaoh's and princesses.

Hi there, I'm just curious if anyone has ever decorated a cake with buttercream and placed it in a box and froze it. Did it turn out well? Also, did you wrap your box with anything? I need to do several dozen cupcakes for the Halloween season and I wanted to do them all ahead of time seeing that they will all be due on Halloween. Please advise.
Thank you!
Yes, you can freeze cakes and cupcakes with buttercream decorations, I would not keep it in the freezer for more than 4 weeks. Some colors may fade, so I would freeze cupcakes with white icing and airbrush later. Or you can take a chance, I think yellow should be ok, not sure about bright orange.
Thank you for the advice. I think I may get started this weekend.

For a variation of Hodge structure over a punctured disk, Green, Griths and Kerr introduced a Néeron model which is a Hausdorff space that includes values of admissible normal functions. On the other hand, Kato, Nakayama and Usui introduced a Néron model as a logarithmic manifold using log mixed Hodge theory. This work constructs a homeomorphism between these two models.

Definition Edit
The decibel watt (dBW) is a unit for the measurement of the strength of a signal expressed in decibels relative to one watt.
Overview Edit
It is used because of its capability to express both very large and very small values of power in a short range of number; e.g., 1 milliwatt = −30 dBW, 1 watt = 0 dBW, 10 watts = 10 dBW, 100 watts = 20 dBW, and 1,000,000 W = 60 dBW.

South Korea clears iPhone for sale

It's true; one need look no further than South Korea, one of the most technologically-advanced wireless societies, where much of the growth over the past several years has occurred in a self-imposed bubble thanks to the existence of policies requiring the presence of a custom software layer for connecting to data services — a layer that gave local players like Samsung and LG an almost impenetrable advantage over foreign competition. Local authorities have been loosening those...Read More

The top reservoir was intersected at 2,710 metres. Hydrocarbons were logged between 2,710 metres and 2,737 metres in reservoir of variable quality and cutting returns provided indications of fluorescence, usually an indicator of liquid hydrocarbons. Below 2,737 metres water was inferred from log observations in a reservoir sequence of good quality.
Hawkeye-1 will now be plugged and abandoned. All measurements are from the rig rotary table.
The drilling program has been executed smoothly, ahead of schedule and ahead of budget. Otto is fully carried on the cost of drilling Hawkeye-1
