Whatever it is, make it a competition with prizes. The prizes don't have to be expensive (e.g. a large candy bar). Boys love competition.
My LARGE family reunion is coming up in April and someone asked about activities for the "older kids." We often have activities and things the younger kids can enjoy, but the older kids tend to sit inside on their DS's or whatever hand-held video game system they have.
We're talking about no more than 10 "older kids," mainly boys, in age range of about 7-12.
Any suggestions for activities to keep them occupied? We need ideas to get them excited, interested, and DOING something.
I was thinking about a leggo build - bringing cheaper leggo build items that they can all sit down and work on together. We're planning supervised fishing one day as we're at a lake "resort" that stocks their lakes/ponds with bass. Other suggestions?
Thanks, ladies! I know we've got some moms on here who are excellent with these types of things!
To clarify some: The reunion is in Mississippi over Easter weekend - starts Friday afternoon/evening and lasts through Sunday mid-day. There are inside and outside areas. We do have bingo (typically later in the evening, more for adults), guessing jars, silent auction items for both adults and kids, hula-hoops, egg-dying, pinata, photo scavenger hunt, bean bag toss, and possible a few other things I'm forgetting. The problem is that this group of kids is so small compared to the older teenage/adult group and the younger group. Parents tend to focus on the younger group for safety, and then talking to each other, and this middle-group gets left out. Typically the pinata is busted before they have a chance to swing (order by age), they get bored with the bean bag toss, they look at the jars and the silent auction items as soon as they get there, etc. I'm wanting to find some activities specifically for this age group without others that they can interact with each other doing something they enjoy. I like the idea of air-soft, but I'm not sure if every parent would go for it... Many are hunting-friendly, but some don't want their kids playing with anything like guns.
Whatever it is, make it a competition with prizes. The prizes don't have to be expensive (e.g. a large candy bar). Boys love competition.
We have an annual family picnic (lasts about 4-8 hours). Activities include an egg toss, a pie eating contest, softball, soccer, a backgammon competition.
At the 7-12 age range, you can have them build a fort, or bonfire. Risk is an excellent game that takes a good long time to play. have everyone bring their bike, and go for a ride.
have them build a bear proof food cache (string a container high into a tree). Depoit all cell phones, DS's and other game devices in there. Young professionals going out for drinks dinner. Now make a habit of staking their phones, and devices in the center of the table. If anyone reaches for their phone to answer a text, check the internet, respond to a VM, they have to pick up the next round or the tab. Create a penalty or booby prize for the older kids who can't shake the gadget habit.
I am sure you will get a lot of great sugggestions.
Good luck.
When I picture my family reunion, we are outdoors the entire time. Not sure where yours will be but what if they all worked together to try to build a fire the old fashion way? ...no matches! http://artofmanliness.com/2008/04/29/9-ways-to-start-a-fi.... The younger ones could gather the flint, sticks, etc. Older ones can work to try and get a flame. Then, they can roast hot dogs, etc. I'm afraid to say that most boys are obsessed with fire. At least it will be a good opportunity to teach them about fire safety. Or, you could borrow some bee-bee guns and set up a station of cans....adult men will need to be involved for both of these activities but what cool things for boys to try out. ...teach gun safety too. Boys these days do not have these opportunities very often.
We had an impromptu balloon "fight" that included children of ALL ages. If you're not opposed to taking them somewhere, try Austin Parks & Pizza or Main Event for a couple of hours of bonding time.
We had a 'Ladder Golf' competition set up for our large family reunion. Everyone was involved, kids and adults. Teams were picked and we had charts that told the 'standings' and a championship tournament the last day. The best part was that the teams were so random, like at the end it was my Aunt and one of her many nephews against my brother-in-law (who is from a different country and didn't know anyone and hardly knew any english) and my cousin. At the end everyone was cheering on the teams and the winner was announced at 3am or something and they got a trophy (a garden gnome 'borrowed' from a neighbors yard). It was a lot of fun.
We also had a corn-husking competition for the kids. Was fun and got the job done too. Anything you can turn into a competition is good for that age.
What about a treasure hunt, you could make it a weekend long thing with a really cool prize (a DS!).
Each year at our family reunions we have games built in for everyone. We do potato sack races, the egg toss, a haystack with candy and coins mixed in where it doesn't matter how old, everyone wants to get in, last year we had a plastic cup tower that we had a contest to see who could put up and take down a pyramid the fastest, as well as bingo at the end. Each year someone signs up to bring prizes for the events, and there is also a candy guessing jar. Between that and the Simon says game that has been there throughout my childhood everyone stays busy.The egg toss is my personal favorite.
At our reunion last year, the bean bag toss was fun for all ages, then the older kids (and several adults) put together a kickball game. Even though my team got CREAMED, it was still lots of fun. :-)
Have available a ball for dodgeball, or a football for 2 hand touch. Also, boys love having airsoft wars (yes, small plastic pellets they shoot at each other!). Like paintball, they must wear eye protection.
there are many websites offering ideas for this. When I'm planning our reunions, I just "search" for the title on this post & lots of great ideas come up! Whole websites dedicated to reunions + Family Fun's website always has great ideas for every event.....
Sports, sports and more sports!
We have our FR in July in Pennsylvania and it's one day, outside. We have an egg toss, water balloon toss, tablespoon races (bucket to dip out of, each team has a cup about 20 feet away and they dip, run, pour and then tag the next racer in line.)
We play the game where there are 2 set of large clothing in water. 2 teams. They've got to put them on, take them off and we usually photograph them while they're in them. One year instead of clothes we did water rings blown up, flippers, mask and snorkle. All over their own clothes. Seems like there was something else too.......it was hilarious.
I don't remember what the races were called but each team has to "pass" a large, long thing between their legs and then carry it to the finish line. We used a "holey board" - game with 3 holes in it that you pitch washers in. We've also had tournaments for the holey board and bean bag toss.

Chances are, if you received a busy single while trying to report an outage, it's because you were calling our office number instead of the high-volume number.
Recently, we mailed all members a postcard with refrigerator magnets with the Outage Hotline number. This is not the general office number – but a high-volume call line situated in a major metropolitan area. It has heavy call volume capability. We've had this since 2010 and promote it regularly. In June, we sent our postcard mailers as a reminder, and included a handy refrigerator magnet.
Why do we have this line?
During large-scale outages when there are hundreds, or even thousands of members without power, the rural phone system cannot connect all of those calls. And even if it could, these calls can't all simultaneously come into the limited number of lines at the cooperative. Thus, callers get that annoying busy signal.
During this last round of storms, we heard that some members were challenged with busy phones and unable to report their outages. That should not be the case with one of these handy outage reporting tools: The Outage Hotline, Outage Texting, or the App.
Outage Hotline: Just Dial 1-866-415-2951 and follow the prompts. (If this won't work for you, please call the office. Your current phone number is not in our records).
Outage Texting: Text 85700
Register first by texting the word "WOOD" to the number 85700.
Reply to the returned text with the correct option that matches your address and you'll be enrolled.
If you get the message, "Your location is unknown", it means we do not have your mobile number in our records, and you'll need to call us so we may input it.
Then, just save the number in your mobile, along with the commands in the notes so you'll remember them,
To Report an Outage: Text "OUT" to 85700.
For Status Updates: Text "STATUS" to 85700.
To Un-enroll: Text the word "STOP" to 85700.
Outage Reporting & Bill Pay App:
WCEC's mobile app allows members to report outages, pay their WCEC bills or view usage graphs anytime from any compatible smartphone or tablet.
To get the free app, just search for "Wood County Electric Cooperative" in the Apple Store or in the Android Market and then download it. Once you have the app, either call the office at 903-763-2203 or log on to the Account Services Portal to generate a user name and password. DOWNLOAD THE iOS APP or DOWNLOAD THE ANDROID APP
For any of these to work for you, your telephone numbers must be in our computer database. If you've changed your number recently just give us a call at 903-763-2203, or update your account information via the Account Services Portal.

Xero has already transformed Australia's digital landscape, but it is their belief in total user security that keeps them ahead of the pack.
Mr Innes, Xero has truly changed the landscape for accounting and technology. With your recent Annual Partner awards, what has been the biggest find in regards to how companies are truly innovating when it comes to accounting?
Our awards acknowledge and celebrate the leadership that is being shown by Xero partners who are making tremendous strides to shape the future of accounting.
The digital landscape in Australia is evolving from "nice to have" to a "must have" as new government legislation is making it mandatory for small businesses to use digital systems of record. So it's important for our Xero partners to be at the forefront of these changes, as they're the ones on the frontline helping small businesses transform the way they do business.
Each year we witness the innovation step up a level, evidenced by the success stories of each of our state finalists and annual winners. This past year, both annual winners have proven innovation through the integration of "app stacks" in our ecosystem to help small businesses in different industry segments to create truly innovative businesses.
Those honoured in the awards are well and truly leading the pack and we're proud to have them as part of our network.
Can you give us insights into the culture at Xero, which has excelled at ensuring bookkeeping becomes an easy to integrate aspects of any businesses activities?
Xero has fast evolved from a small agile startup to a global small business platform. Throughout our journey, our purpose has remained: "To have a positive impact on the world by growing small business". To do that we use technology to connect small businesses to their banks, advisors and each other. We have focused on solving big problems for small businesses—with the three key ones being financial visibility, cash flow and access to lending.
Bookkeeping and keeping good data is critical to good business importance but it doesn't mean it has to take hours. Xero has always been unique in our focus on creating a beautiful experience for the user that uses technology to turn critical business tasks into an easy short activity that gives business owners comfort in knowing that they are compliant and understand their business situation so they can make an informed decision.
For many, there is a legitimate fear around the security and privacy of the data that they release online. What has been Xero's leadership's role in combating cyber risks?
At Xero, loving and protecting our customers is one of our strategic business priorities and one we take very seriously.
One of the key initiatives we've championed this year is the rollout of two-step authentication (2SA) to our network. 2SA creates an extra layer of security by requiring customers to verify their identity using a separate device, decreasing the likelihood of unauthorised activity and significantly reducing the risk of account takeovers from stolen passwords. 2SA is increasingly seen as the standard for web-based applications, from online banking to communications apps.
Defining the security of customers as a matter of critical importance, Xero launched 2SA as an optional feature back in 2015 as a means to protect small businesses, accountants and bookkeepers. Now all accountants, bookkeepers, small businesses in Australia and those internationally with access to an Australian user are required to use 2SA to log into the platform. This means we have now transitioned hundreds of thousands of customers onto 2SA.
Additionally, as part of our commitment to protecting our customers' data and information, we achieved formal ISO 27001 certification this year. This is the international standard that specifies the requirements for implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system. We are taking all reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data and information we hold.
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we'll do everything in our power to keep them safe online.
In your opinion, what role do you think the government should play in helping organisations combat cybercrime?
Security needs to be strong on all fronts and it's important that government, corporates, technology companies, small businesses and advisors work together to safeguard information.
We have seen the government increasingly recognising this importance. The Australian Tax Authority finalised its Operational Framework in February 2018. Among its requirements, digital software providers such as Xero were required to implement mandatory 2SA across the entire platform last year. We fully supported this requirement as we believe it's the right thing to do to help protect client data.
Additionally, the government launched the Australian Cyber Security Centre which spearheads a number of initiatives.
As an online community we need to work together to make sure we're all protecting one another and keeping our data safe from cybercriminals.
In your view, what should Australian businesses be doing to ensure that they are not only protecting the security of their customers and clients, but are also secure against a cyber breach?
For many of us, the Internet is not just an intrinsic part of our lives, it's integral to how we do business. It enables businesses to connect to global markets and complete transactions in minutes.
As we take advantage of the opportunities the Internet has to offer, online security becomes a priority. For Xero partners and customers, and anyone who operates online, this means being vigilant about keeping sensitive data and information secure from hackers and cybercriminals—just as you'd keep your home or your car safe by locking it.
The widespread adoption of 2SA is helping ensure business owners, financial controllers and payroll administrators play their part to keep data safe and secure, and in line with best-practice advice from the ATO.
Additionally, one of the most important things they can do is to create strong passwords. Over 80% of breaches occur due to stolen or weak passwords. Small businesses can use password manager software to help you use your multiple logins, and to generate strong passwords.
How can CEOs and Directors feel reassured that their personal reputation can survive serious cyber breaches?

The Stale Status Of RAW
Just a few weeks ago, the WWE made a very public announcement that Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff were added to the management team as Executive Directors of Raw and Smackdown respectively. Despite the initial statement that this wouldn't be a role on television, Heyman more or less acknowledged it during a promo this week on Raw. As I said in an article a few days after the announcement, this whole situation could be a smoke screen to attempt to skew the perception of the product, which might be possible because the "new era" of Raw yielded mixed results so far.
For example, Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman went through the stage with the addition of pyro that got noticed for the camera work as well as the TV time that was used for it. At the same time, the brand extension is still a convoluted mess with the nonsensical wild card rule, Shane McMahon continues to get more TV time than most of the roster, and the main event scene will be recycled for Summer Slam next month.
Too often over the past year, management claimed that there was a "fresh start" or a "shake up," but those terms are just an attempt at a PR spin. The illogical structure of the product hinders the ability for those on the roster to truly establish themselves as legitimate money-drawing stars and thus WWE brass relies on nostalgia acts to boost programming that can't garner ratings for the current audience.
As far as the structure goes, one of the prime examples is the use of the previously mentioned Shane McMahon since the heel turn. In theory, Drew McIntyre being paired with him should elevate his status in the company by the association with the last name McMahon. Instead, Shane is the focus of the angle while Drew is more or less his sidekick. In many ways, how this storyline was booked is basically the opposite of how an effective angle is designed. Again, Shane is the prime figure based on the promos and how the angle is portrayed on television. Shane doesn't endorse Drew ahead of a match, but rather he's in the matches himself and McIntyre is often lost in the shuffle. Plus, it's not as though Drew is being protected for a long term program that will payoff to make him a more prominent member of the roster, as he was pinned by Cedric Alexander this week on Raw.
Don't get me wrong, Cedric is extremely talented, but up until two weeks ago he was forgotten on 205 Live so how does that put McIntyre in a better spot on Raw? Yes, there's speculation that it could be McIntyre vs. The Undertaker at the pay-per-view next month, but if that happens and even if Drew wins, considering the track record, will it matter in the future? The bottom line is, this angle with Shane McMahon hasn't done anything to make Drew McIntyre a bigger star and for someone that is supposedly a priority for the writing team, he continues to be at mid-card status.
According to The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, Braun Strowman has been working through some injuries, and while most of what Meltzer says should be taken with a grain of salt, Strowman does appear to have some mobility problems in recent months. As I said previously, management missed the boat with Braun a few years ago, and considering that injuries might've taken their toll on his body with the grueling schedule, he might be stuck at his current position on the card. It's a very disappointing scenario because of how over Braun was at one point and the effort was clearly there so he worked hard to reach that level with the crowd. I've often discussed the level of complacency and mediocrity that takes place because of the 50/50 nature of the product. Essentially, very few stand out as stars when the brand is pushed as the draw and talent become interchangeable so viewership plateaued. Along with that, there's the aspect to the product that most of what happens as far as stipulations and results are often inconsequential because it doesn't really have an impact on the direction of the show.
How many times is there a match at a pay-per-view and then a rematch the next night on Raw? How often are main event match-ups repeated because a perceived lack of star power for new challengers? Furthermore, other than Roman Reigns, how many new stars that could boost numbers have been made in the past few years?
Part of the reason for the lack of a new group of stars that could usher in a new era after John Cena's run is because management has yet to truly let a talent run with the top spot in the company. Sure, they tried with Roman Reigns, but that was rejected so Brock Lesnar currently has the spot as the top drawing card. The problem is, Brock was paid major money for a limited schedule to set up a payoff to put Reigns over, but Reigns didn't get over at the time so Lesnar still has the most star power on the roster, mostly because of how strong he was booked previously for the payoff to get Reigns over that was rejected. During that Roman push, there were others that got over with the audience, but were kept at a lower tier because the bigger picture was based on Reigns, which would've been fine if there was a successful payoff at the conclusion. Now, most of the upper card competitors are more or less at the same level in terms of star power. The example I've used before is, if Finn Balor was booked against Brock at Wrestlemania instead of Seth Rollins, would it make a difference in the numbers?
Basically, management hasn't truly decided to attempt to run with the next top star. At 42, Lesnar obviously isn't the future so when does the Brock experiment payoff? When does the limited schedule to allow for special appearances propel the next major star? Let's be honest here, the "special appearances" theory became more of a defense for a show that didn't have the title to build around than anything else. Perhaps, the ratings have slipped because the viewing audience knows that most of the major booking on Raw is based strictly around the shows after PPVs and progress usually isn't made on a weekly basis so a viewer could skip weeks of TV without actually missing any of the storylines.
I don't know if Seth Rollins is the next main event star for the company to build around, but the writing team certainly hasn't helped the situation. Seth was the competitor to finally beat Brock Lesnar and he only had a three month run as champion. During that time, he feuded with Baron Corbin, who was portrayed as the reason the ratings tanked earlier this year so how exactly has Rollins been made a bigger star since he won the title? Furthermore, Brock Lesnar won the title at Extreme Rules and Seth won the battle royal to set up a rematch at Summer Slam. So, within the span of three months with the countless hours of television and extended pay-per-views on the network, the status of the product is more or less the same. The storyline for the main event of SummerSlam is the recycled angle from Wrestlemania. All things considered, did the results of the biggest show of the year really make a difference to the product?
Next week will be a "Raw Reunion" show and it's definitely an event used as a short term ratings boost, which is fine. However, what does it say about the product when the majority of the nostalgia acts that will appear on the show are bigger stars than anyone on the current roster?
What do you think? Comment below with your thoughts, opinions, feedback and anything else that was raised.

The house of Wang is closed, and the family leaves for the South. Wang Lung carries his old father, staggering under his weight. Slowly, they reach the gate of the wall and then they pass the great house, where a few bodies are lying, bemoaning their fate, and cursing the House of Hwang. When they pass through the town, they suddenly find themselves in the midst of a multitude of people. On asking why there are so many people, they are told that everyone is going to catch the 'firewagon' (train) to the South. Wang and his family join them, and with an incessant roaring, the firewagon travels forth towards the South.
This short Chapter shows us the taxing journey, which the family makes to go South. Wang leaves his dear land to search for food and existence. His earlier religious zeal now has diminished, and as he passes the statues of the gods, he doesn't even acknowledge them. It is almost as if he has realized that even the gods can do nothing for him. When the family passes the House of Hwang, it has deteriorated even more. Pathetic men lie outside and curse the family.
Wang Lung's ignorance about the train (firewagon) reveals his isolation as a farmer. He has never cared about learning anything not related to his land. Because of his ignorance of modern things, Wang has an inherent distrust for the train, but decides to travel in it anyway. He has been told it can carry his family out of the village and to the South more rapidly than they can go on foot. The last scene in the chapter shows the village people pressing forward, "Clinging desperately together," in panic and desperation.

10 Awesome Christmas Gifts For Petrol Heads
Got a petrol head in your life that needs gifting? They'll love any of these awesome car guy gifts, we guarantee* it.
*Not really, but they're very cool.
Socks and jocks just will not do this Christmas, nor will hideous stripy t-shirts. So, you want to get the petrol head in your life a cool car-related Christmas gift. Here's a tip, do not, under any circumstances, think about getting them a Ferrari branded cap or iPhone case, or watch, or cologne, because that's going to make your petrol head look like a complete and utter cock, even if he/she has a Ferrari – which they probably don't. Car branded anything is lame.
These are the gifts they'll really want.
Pop Bang Colour Artwork
Add an explosion of car-related color to your house or office. From Pagani Zondas and Lamborghinis to Aston Martin DBR1 racing cars and Jaguar E-Types, Pop Bang Colour has a creative artwork that every petrol head can appreciate.
Tim Layzell Artwork
Tim Layzell's motoring artworks are just ridiculously cool. If the petrol head you're buying for is into classic motors then you absolutely need to get them one of these paintings.
Gran Turismo 6
This is the racing game of the moment. Only available on PlayStation 3, Gran Turismo 6 features more than 1200 cars, over 30 of the world's best racetracks, and the sort of graphics that will knock your socks right off. And if the person hasn't got a PlayStation 3, buy them one of those too.
Hoonigan Cop Burnout Tee
I'm not going to lie, I find most car-related t-shirts horribly nerdy. However, the Hoonigan range of apparel is actually really cool, this tee with the cop car doing a burnout is my favourite. So ironic and bad ass.
evo Car Of The Year Print
How cool would one of these prints look hanging in your office or bedroom?
Track Day Experience
There's nothing cooler than being able to really explore the limits of your own car in the safe, controlled environment of a race track. There are plenty of different options to choose from, you can drive Silverstone in the UK, Streets Of Willow in California, Philip Island in Australia, plus heaps of others. You could even drive someone else's race car if you're not comfortable tracking your own pride and joy.
Porsche 917K Gulf Model
The Porsche 917 is arguably the coolest racing car ever made. So parked next to the pencil holder on your car guy's desk it's going to look pretty awesome.
Magazine Subscription
It's the gift that just keeps on giving! You'll probably need to do a little bit of research before you select which magazine to subscribe your car guy to, because if the person you're buying for is a picky petrol head they'll hate certain car mags, but love others. So, drop hints like 'oh, you've got this month's Autocar? Good read?' to figure out which is their favourite title.
AutoGlym Surface Detailing Clay Bar Kit
Most petrol heads like to keep their ride nice and clean. This clay bar detailing kit comes with everything you need to keep your metal in top shape.
Ferrari 458 Speciale
We named the Ferrari 458 Speciale the hottest car of 2013, this is the car you need to buy the petrol head in your life. Naturally, being a Ferrari it isn't cheap, exactly, but can you really put a price on happiness? Huh?
Any authorized Ferrari dealership, probably.

The Gambler
Sintesi dell'editore
The Gambler paints a stark picture of the attractions—and addictions—of gambling. Using skillful characterization, Dostoevsky faithfully depicts life among the gambling set in old Germany. This probing psychological novel explores the tangled love affairs and complicated lives of Alexey Ivanovitch, a young gambler, and Polina Alexandrovna, the woman he loves.
Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoevsky (1821–1881) was born in Moscow, the son of a surgeon. Leaving the study of engineering for literature, he published Poor Folk in 1846. As a member of revolutionary circles in St. Petersburg, he was condemned to death in 1849. A last-minute reprieve sent him to Siberia for hard labor. Returning to St. Petersburg in 1859, he worked as a journalist and completed his masterpiece, Crime and Punishment, as well as other works, including The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov.

Gravity of odds and the frailty of human hope
This is a crushing novel. It is one of those classic stories where the narrator is crushed by the weight of his desire, by the gravity of odds, and by the frailty of human hope. Within Dostoevsky's short novel there exists an almost existential subtext, an underlying risk of ruin; where the longer you live, the greater your chance of losing everything. Dostoevsky leaves the reader with small wins, decent runs, and hopeful conceits that tempt the reader to believe that one might walk away from life with love, fulfilment, and yes plenty of lucre ... but alas time, the vig, and death (that croupier bitch) all weedle your last gulden and mortgage your soul's last breath.

Bad Hombre at Bad Homburg
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to a friend, the literature of the gaming table is fertile ground for sustaining suspense. The story moves along at a fair click. No doubt helped by the fact the Dostoevsky was writing under under a very strict deadline.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting is the glimpse given of European Casino life in the 19th century which features fleetingly in other works of the era (I'm thinking of Vanity Fair).The least interesting aspect is the complete lack of likeable characters. I don't know whether or not Dostoevsky deliberately made it so, as this is my first foray into his dark world, but its hard work when you don't really care about any of the characters.
Which character – as performed by Simon Prebble – was your favourite?
The General, around which the other characters orbit and nicely centres the story. In fact he's the only one I had any sympathy for and by the end I was hoping he would triumph.
Was The Gambler worth the listening time?
Yes and you can get the book free as well.
Any additional comments?
Simon Prebble does an excellent job, although maybe the Duchess could have been toned down a little (she sounded like Lady Bracknell!)
- 23/07/2015
A powerful story of human complexeties.
What did you like most about The Gambler?
Psychologically well observed story about chance and addiction.
Would you be willing to try another one of Simon Prebble's performances?
Ideally not, I found the regional accent he gave the genteel Englishman unlikely for a person of this class and utterly annoying.

Fantastically narrated
Would you consider the audio edition of The Gambler to be better than the print version?
A Fabulous Listen
What about Simon Prebble's performance did you like?
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The story is compelling and he is not a great novelist for nothing.
Any additional comments?
Thoroughly enjoyable and strongly recommend

1. Introduction
Deribit derivatives exchange has 2 trading pages:
Below you can find general exchange information and rules. In the menu above you can go directly to the different sections with information about fees, futures trading, options trading, and the API.
2. Fees
Futures orders which provide liquidity receive a rebate of 0.02%. Orders that take liquidity are charged a small fee of only 0.05%. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the underlying asset of the contract.
BTC Futures
BTC Perpetual
Maker Rebate: 0.025%
Taker Fee: 0.075%
Taker Fee: 0.075%
BTC Futures
Maker Rebate: 0.02%
Taker Fee: 0.05%
BTC and ETH Options
Maker Fee: 0.04% of underlying or 0.0004BTC per option for BTC options and 0.0004ETH per option for ETH options.
Taker Fee: 0.04% of underlying or 0.0004BTC per option for BTC options and 0.0004ETH per option for ETH options.
Fees can never be higher than 12.5% of the price of the option. For example, if an option is traded at 0.0001 BTC, the fee will be 0.0000125 BTC (instead of 0.0004 BTC), thus 12.5% of 0.0001 BTC.
Taker Fee: 0.05%
ETH Perpetual + Futures
Maker Rebate: 0.0%
Taker Fee: 0.05%
BTC and ETH Options
Maker Fee: 0.04% of underlying or 0.0004BTC per option for BTC options and 0.0004ETH per option for ETH options.
Taker Fee: 0.04% of underlying or 0.0004BTC per option for BTC options and 0.0004ETH per option for ETH options.
Fees can never be higher than 12.5% of the price of the option. For example, if an option is traded at 0.0001 BTC, the fee will be 0.0000125 BTC (instead of 0.0004 BTC), thus 12.5% of 0.0001 BTC.
Liquidation fees that serve as income for the insurance fund (only applicable when a position is being liquidated by Deribit Risk Engine):
BTC Futures and Perpetual: 0.5%
ETH Futures and Perpetual: 0.9%
BTC and ETH options 0.2%
Delivery (settlement at expiration)
Deliveries are charged 0.025% for BTC and ETH Futures, and 0.02% for BTC and ETH Options. For options, this fee can never be higher than 12.5% of the option value.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Bitcoin deposits are credited after 1 confirmation on the network. We don't charge fees for deposits. Withdrawals are processed instantly or after the first next block if the balance in our hot wallet permits so. We keep only a small percentage of coins in hot storage, so there is a chance that your withdrawal cannot be processed immediately. If needed, once a day we replenish the balance of the hot wallet from cold storage.
Withdrawals: Variable fees. Withdrawal fees depend on the current state of the Bitcoin network. Please note that the fee charged to your account can differ from the actual fee being paid on the network. Sometimes withdrawals of more clients are combined in 1 transaction and the number of bytes needed on the blockchain can vary also depending on the current state of our hot wallet. So the actual fee paid to the network is unknown at the moment of requesting the withdrawal, but the fee charged to your account will be already fixed. The algorithm that calculates fees is made in such a way to break even on withdrawal fees over a longer period of time. Sometimes actual fees will be more than charged fees and sometimes they will be less.
Deposits: Free
Maker: a "maker" order is an order that adds liquidity to the order book. A maker order is an order that does not execute immediately but instead goes into the order book.
Taker: a "taker" order is an order that removes liquidity from the order book. A taker order is an order that will execute immediately against other orders upon submission to the exchange.
3. Matching Engine
Deribit exchange matching engine is based on a "first come first serve" principle. Orders are executed in price-time priority as received by the matching engine after passing risk engine checks.
The matching engine can process thousands of orders per second and also hundreds of orders per second from a single account. If an order executes immediately, an execution report will be included in the order confirmation message.
Currently, the matching engine accepts limit orders, market orders, and stop-limit orders. As well orders can be sent as hidden orders and post only orders.
The matching engine DOES NOT allow for self-trading. If an order is sent to the exchange that would execute immediately with an order from the same account in the order book, this order will be rejected. Note that the order will only be rejected if it would actually execute against another order in the same account. So an order overlapping with other orders in the same account might still be accepted and executed if it would execute against other orders in the order book, not from the same account.
Thanks to an average total latency for an order to pass the risk engine and enter the order book via the matching engine of just a few ms it is possible to send hundreds of orders per second from a single account.
4. Risk Engine
The risk engine is a vital part of any derivatives exchange. Deribit risk engine can assess thousands of incoming orders per second and hundreds of incoming orders per second from a single account. If the risk engine approves an order, the order will continue its way to the matching engine to get matched or enter the order book. Then a message is sent back to the client. This whole process takes on average less than 2 ms.
5. Deribit BTC Index
Currently, the Deribit BTC index is made up of the latest prices from Bitstamp, Gemini, Bitfinex, Bittrex, Itbit, Coinbase, LMAX Digital and Kraken.
When calculating the Index price, exchanges that are excluded by the system administrator, have invalid data or have delayed order book data will not be included in the final calculation.
The remaining exchanges will be included in the index calculation and will be benchmarked against the median price of the final sample. The values that will fall outside the +/-0.5% range of the median price will be adjusted to the closest bandwidth price limit. Consequentially, the index is calculated as the equally-weighted average of these values.
There is a page dedicated to the price index where you can see at any time which exchanges are actually part of the index at this very moment. Here: https://www.deribit.com/main#/indexes.
Deribit Index is continuously measured against an external benchmark to ensure that the index represents an accurate market price. If there is just a single feed, this single feed will be the index. If for some reason no single feed reaches Deribit or the Index significantly deviates from the external benchmark, the platform will be temporarily locked (trading disabled) until the connection is re-established and error has been determined.
Note: Currently Bitfinex is disabled and is not part of the Deribit Index.
6. Expiration Price
The price used for settlement and delivery of contracts will be calculated as the time-weighted average of the Deribit index over the last half hour before expiration. The Deribit index gets calculated every 4 seconds. So the final delivery price is the average of 450 index prices taken in the last 30 minutes before expiration.
7. Cross Margin
All funds held in an account will be considered as available margin. Equity, balances, and margin will fluctuate as prices in the market change. If the maintenance margin in an account is higher than the margin balance in an account a margin call is triggered. A user's position will be incrementally liquidated in small steps (12.5% of position size or minimum 500 contracts) until margin balance is higher than the maintenance margin. Any unrealized profits are also immediately available as collateral for trading.
8. Auto Liquidation
Deribit is operating with an incremental auto-liquidation system. This means that as soon as an account does not have enough equity to maintain its positions, (as assessed by the risk engine) a small part of the position will be closed in the market.
Bitcoin futures and perpetual: At this moment the liquidation orders sent to the market are up to 12.5% of your position or a minimum of 500 contracts of $10 each.
Ethereum futures and perpetual: At this moment the liquidation orders sent to the market are up to 12.5% of your position or a minimum of 1000 contracts of $1 each.
Bitcoin futures and perpetual: At this moment the liquidation orders sent to the market are up to 12.5% of your position or a minimum of 500 contracts of $10 each.
Ethereum futures and perpetual: At this moment the liquidation orders sent to the market are up to 12.5% of your position or a minimum of 1000 contracts of $1 each.
This happens in real-time, such that positions in an account will be reduced immediately when the maintenance margin is higher than the margin balance. As soon as the maintenance margin is again lower than the margin balance, liquidation will stop.
The system would first liquidate perpetual and futures positions and after that liquidate any short option positions, in such a way that the risk of the position will be reduced. (basically striving for a "delta neutral" position where possible). There are circumstances possible where options would get liquidated first, where options delta's are bigger and opposite direction than all other delta's on the platform. For normal margin accounts, long option positions can not get liquidated.
Auto liquidation for portfolio margin users works differently. The liquidation algorithm would automatically only trade perpetual and futures contracts in an attempt to reduce the risk profile of your position (reducing the delta exposure of your position). This is under most circumstances the least hurtful way of reducing the risk profile of a position with portfolio margin. Automatically reducing options positions could be very hurtful and resulting in a cascading liquidation of the whole position, due to the possibility of finding a very illiquid options market at the moment of liquidation. Any options positions, of course, can also get reduced, such liquidation trades would be done manually by Deribit Risk management.
During auto liquidation, a trader has no control over his account and cannot place orders nor cancel orders created by the auto liquidation engine. A trader will get back control over his account once Maintenance Margin is brought back to a level lower than 100% of your margin balance or equity. This means that the reduction of your position, once the maintenance margin is higher than 100%, is solely at the discretion of Deribit. The user cannot influence this process by placing additional closing orders.
9. Insurance Fund
Deribit has an insurance fund that should cover all losses of bankrupt traders. Due to our advanced real-time incremental liquidation system, it will be actually a challenge to go bankrupt even if a trader would wish to do so. On the insurance page we will publish in real-time any occurring bankruptcies and the last state of the insurance fund. As long as there is BTC in the insurance funds, withdrawals of funds (including (unrealized) profits of not expired assets are available for withdrawal immediately after settlement (future trades settle daily at 08.00 UTC). If the insurance fund gets depleted, any then occurring bankruptcies will be socialized among the winning traders, though our goal is to never get to that point, and margin requirements will be made more strict as soon as bankruptcies appear.
Insurance fund income BTC:
Any liquidation orders are charged 0.50% transaction fees. The extra proceeds compared to default trading fees are added every hour to the insurance fund.
Insurance fund income ETH Futures and Perpetual:
Any liquidation orders are charged 0.90% transaction fees. The extra proceeds compared to default trading fees are added every hour to the insurance fund.
10. Test Server
On https://test.deribit.com the exchange is running in a test mode with all functionality but not with real bitcoins. Internal "Deribit" coins can be used to withdraw/deposit funds. New updates are also first tested on this server before they will be implemented in production, so the version you encounter on https://test.deribit.com can vary slightly from the production version.

In his survey course The Modern Middle East, history professor Magnus T. Bernhardsson covers topics including cultural diversity, radical religious groups, the impact of imperialism and the discovery of oil. His book Mið-Austurlönd (which means Middle East in Icelandic and was published by Eymundsson in 2018) is based on the class, and "each chapter is like a week in this course."
American politics is typically defined by winners, but hindsight provides an opportunity to reconsider some political losers. In Legacies of Losing in American Politics (University of Chicago Press, 2018), political science professor Nicole Mellow and co-author Jeffrey K. Tulis review three key moments in American history with an eye on the "losing" side to reveal that "the very mechanisms that caused the initial failures facilitated their eventual success."
The Republic of Arabic Letters: Islam and the European Enlightenment (Harvard University Press, 2018), by history professor Alexander Bevilacqua, retraces the routes that Christian scholars traveled "to acquire, study and comprehend Arabic manuscripts" and argues that the Western effort to understand Islam happened through "the scholarly commitments of a select group of Christians."
How did America's view of gay marriage change so dramatically over the last 25 years? In From Tolerance to Equality: How Elites Brought America to Same-Sex Marriage (Baylor University Press, 2018), political science professor Darel E. Paul writes about how the country's educational and business elites led the way for cultural change, and he provides a "road map to the emerging American political and cultural landscape."

I was in tech all day today, for a musical that opened tonight. It's a small show that's playing here and it's been the biggest pain in my ass ever. I have a lot of complaints about the director and the actors of which incompetence is a large one. But the thing that has driven me the most crazy over the past two days is their inability to show up on time.
Yesterday's rehearsal was supposed to start at 10:00. The director didn't show up until almost 10:30 and at 11:00 there were still several actors missing. We ended up not starting tech until almost noon which is two hours late. Two hours is big in the world of theatre. A lot can be accomplished and unfortunately the show opens when it opens and there's no way to make up the time which is what I was asked to do today.
And so rehearsal started today at 9:00 and I had made it clear to everyone involved that if we were actually going to get through the show and have a dress rehearsal before we opened everyone had to not only be on time, but they had to be completely focused. And were they? Hell no! The director arrived at 9:15. There were still actors arriving at 9:30. The sound guy arrived around that time, and discovered much to his dismay that there were problems with the sound board. So once everyone was there they were still trying to fix the problems. It was almost 10:30 before I was able to start to work.
And this translates into not having the time to create art. Not having the time to finesse. Not having the time to make subtle changes in the lighting that makes the difference between a good design and a bad design. Nope. I spent my entire day just making sure that you could see the actors. And with lighting design, illumination is important, but it's not the only thing. If were only about seeing people, anyone could do it. So tonight I opened a show with pretty mediocre lighting if I do say so myself.
And why?
Because I was working with people who didn't respect my talent and time enough to show up when they were expected. And this just reinforces my disdain for anyone and anything that is late. It drives me crazy. If you say 6:00 p.m. That doesn't mean 6:15. It doesn't mean 6:30. It means 6:00 p.m. And yes I know there are those people who just can't arrive on time. But I find that for the most part I stop socializing with them. My time is valuable to me. My talents are valuable to me. If you can't respect that, then I can't spend time with you.
And so I'm realizing that although there is a possibility that the show I've been working on for the past few days might get picked up and produced in the spring. Under no circumstances will I sign up to play if it's the same team. I just can't do that to myself.

At first I thought was hearing Bill Withers, but the smooth rippling refreshing sound pulled my attention to the lyrics, and a young man from whom the sound was emanating – a reminder that in the midst of a commercialized , coporate world, even pure, simple, and inspiring promises like the truth has a habit of coming to the surface in an ocean of lost souls.

Chapter 7
Randeep wasn't sure he had heard it right. Was she asking to hug him?
He looked at her as if to reconfirm. Ruhi looked determined. She raised her eyebrows quizzically? 'I am not asking for a crore of rupees Randeep, it's only a hug I am asking for', she said non chalantly.
He couldn't but smile at her statement. Yes it was true. It was only a hug. For her it was just that. For him, it had been a dilemma. Always. Should he hug, should he not? When should he hug? What would Nimmi think? Would she appreciate it or repel it? But with Ruhi he didn't have to think of all these things.
She was asking for just a hug and he should as easily give her that, wasn't it that simple, Randeep reasoned.
He slowly moved towards her as she held out her arms. He walked into them. She hugged him tight as if passing on her energies to him. He realised he was tensed but her easy body language and the honesty of the hug relaxed him. He felt each muscle of his body relax as every fibre of his body touched hers. It was a warm hug, from a friend to a friend, there was nothing sexual about it. Yet it felt better than sex.
Randeep realised how starved he was of touch. And what he had been missing so far. He just didn't want it to end as he felt her palms lightly brush his back. He could feel her face very close to his. His arms too lay on her back. She made no attempt to end the hug nor was she awkward.
He thought how well she fitted into his arms. He could feel her heartbeat in his chest and her warm breath against her his cheeks. He had dreamt, wished, thought about this closeness with Ruhi a million times in his head yet the purity with which it had happened today shook him to the core.
Randeep realised how comfortable Ruhi was with touch. Ironically he had only lived the opposite till today.
Ruhi smiled as she left his arms and moved a bit away, her arms still on his arms.
'You ok?'she asked him with a smile on her face.
'Yes, I feel a lot better, honestly. I didn't think a hug could take off so much burden', Randeep said.
'Good, you promised me dinner. So before you go back on your word, Let's go. I am starving', she made a sorry face at him.
Randeep laughed, 'Oh I am sorry, come let's go. Any specific cuisine you prefer'?
Ruhi laughed, 'I am not at all choosy Randeep. Anywhere you are comfortable Mr. CEO.', she teased him.
'Come', he guided her towards the lift and then to his car.
She was surprised he didn't choose a 5 star restaurant fitting his status. He chose a small beach restaurant.
'I hope you don't mind having dinner here,' he said to her.
Ruhi nodded, 'I love the sea Randeep. It's perfect.'
Once they had settled and ordered their food, Randeep asked, 'So tell me is the hug a part of the healing too?
Ruhi smiled. 'You know Randeep its surprising how much we underestimate touch. It's the single most biggest healing technique mankind has.'
Randeep was listening intently. Seeing him interested in what she was saying she continued further, 'Have you ever seen a child who has gotten hurt? What makes him stop crying is the not the medicine but a hug from his mother.
'You are right'. Randeep acknowledged.
'We all need touch Randeep, each one of us and lots of it. Don't mind, but when I touched your palms, I realised that you have been deprived of touch for too long. I don't mean to pry or comment on your private life but a big part of the healing my mother believes in is synced in touch and the positive effects of it.
She was interrupted by the waiter who came with the food. Randeep was glad for the interruption. Her statement about him being deprived of touch had hit him hard. How could she know so much about him by just touching him. It seemed she could read his soul and it scared him but at the same time comforted him too, atleast he could be himself with her.
As they silently dug into their food, Randeep observed how peaceful she looked. She was at ease with him. There was no discomfort or awkwardness usually associated with boss and employee. He now could attribute this self assuredness to her mother who had given her a great foundation to stand on. But was there nothing which ruffled her? No skeletons, no past like him? What angered her or made her sad? The thoughts kept him occupied.
Ruhi made no attempt to break his thought process. She let him be.
Finally he looked up at her. She looked at him too. With her there was no half measure. She always looked at him straight in the eye and it spoke a lot about her as a person. He had learnt that in his years of professional experience.
'So when the healer needs healing, whom does she go to for a hug?', Randeep asked and soon regretted it. 'How could he be so direct?' He was shocked by his own question.
But Ruhi seemed unaffected.
He waited with bated breath for an answer but all he got was a smile. 'Did that mean she had someone in her life?' He wasn't so sure now if he wanted to know the answer.
........to be continued.

text: Centre for Educational Consultancy and Development welcomes teachers from the Hefei province of China Wednesday, 11 February 2015 The Centre for Educational Consultancy and Development recently welcomed 10 teachers from the Hefei Province of China to visit local schools and take part in an onsite programme of teaching and learning. The delegates were experienced teachers and middle managers from high schools in Hefei city, central China, and considered to be among the best teachers in Anhui, a province with a population of about 60 million. The participants came from 2 separate schools each with a pupil population of more than 5000 learners and 500 staff. The aim of the visit was for the delegates to experience more of the English education system, to discuss and develop teaching practices and experience a university-led teaching programme. The bespoke series of teaching sessions, delivered by School of Education staff, has included sessions on Drama Techniques for Live Shows through to Leadership of Pedagogy and Using Mobile Learning Technologies. Professor Liz Browne, Director of the Centre for Educational Consultancy and Development said: We have been delighted to welcome delegates from China and whilst we created a training programme which we hope addressed their needs, we have also learnt much about their culture and the challenges they experience when working in the Chinese education system. We hope this will be the first of many programmes delivered by the staff in the School of Education. The programme was organised as part of the work of the Centre for Educational Consultancy and Development which works in partnership with providers from all education sectors to best address the challenges facing education today. The Centre offers applied, research-informed consultancy as well as continuing professional development, bespoke training and short courses.

ACA Prompts Employers to Consider New Alternatives for Pre-65 Retiree Medical Benefits
January 15, 2015
Recent data from Towers Watson revealed that by 2017, 53% of employers that sponsor health care programs for pre-65 retirees will reassess their approach.
"Pre-65 retiree medical plan sponsors have been eagerly awaiting options to deliver improved value to their early retirees. For too long, limited options and high costs have burdened employers and retirees alike. In part, these barriers have been addressed and now private exchanges can help retirees find coverage that best suits them," said Trevis Parson, chief health actuary, Towers Watson.
Confidence is growing that public exchanges will be a viable alternative for employer-sponsored coverage for pre-Medicare retirees. While only 8% are confident for 2015, confidence rises sharply to 35% for 2017.
Looking for alternatives to traditional methods of providing coverage to pre-Medicare retirees stems from the high cost of coverage for this segment of the population.
While annual cost increases for Medicare-eligible retirees, without the benefit of Medicare but after plan changes (3.9%), are similar to those for active employees (4.0%), increases for pre-65 retirees after plan changes are much higher (5.5%). Further, 73% of employers offering medical benefits to retirees under 65 said their 2015 plan costs already exceed the cap for the plan.
As a result, employers are actively considering alternatives to current coverage models and making changes. In 2015, 61% of employers surveyed changed plan designs for their pre-65 retirees.
Considering alternatives should not be mistaken for considering ending coverage entirely. Just 4% of employers said they have given some consideration to ending coverage and subsidies — even though these retirees often have access to federally subsidized plans on public exchanges.
Even employers who are looking to end coverage do not want to leave their employees without options. Given the choice to end coverage but provide a private exchange solution that connects retirees to plans on the public exchanges, the percentage of employers that have considered this option rises to 17%.
"Pre-65 retiree medical benefits are complex," said Joe Murad, managing director for Towers Watson's Exchange Solutions. "Companies have to consider the excise tax, new benefit options, provider networks and subsidies along with the retirement needs of their workforce. Fortunately, with guaranteed issue, the PPACA created a viable individual market for health insurance. Public exchanges simplify access to individual plans, and private exchange solutions help ease the experience of purchasing plans on public exchanges or directly from carriers. For the first time, employers can develop a pre-65 retiree medical strategy that meets the needs of retirees and helps them manage costs."

Game of Thrones co-stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie tied the not on Saturday in front of friends and family in Scotland…
It looks like Jon Snow might finally know something after all because his portrayer Kit Harington just married Rose Leslie in a ceremony in Scotland.
After original meeting while filming Game of Thrones, Harington (who plays Jon Snow) began seeing Leslie (who portrayed his Wildling girlfrined Ygritte on the show) and the pair finally got engaged last year.
On Saturday, Harington and Leslie tied the knot at a ceremony held in Aberdeen, Scotland with just about every Game of Thrones cast member — past or present — showing up to pay homage to the newly married couple.
Thankfully no one requested "Rains of Castamere" played during the wedding.
Among the guests included Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, and even Richard Madden, who played Harington's half-brother Robb Stark on Game of Thrones, made appearances at the ceremony. Take a look at the star-studded guest list below.

Funny enough, the final season of Game of Thrones is still in production so it's unknown if Harington and Leslie will get much of a honeymoon now or have to wait until later once filming is completely wrapped.

Recently Submitted A Tax Return? - Beware Scams
If you've recently submitted a tax return, don't be caught out by bogus HMRC contacts claiming you're owed a tax rebate.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) receive many reports of scam emails and text messages at this time of year. For example: "We have reviewed your tax return; according to our calculations a tax refund of £xx is due..." The scammers then try to trick you into giving them your bank details, National Insurance number or other personal information.
Be aware that fraudsters can falsify (spoof) the 'from' text or email address or to look like a legitimate HMRC source.
If you're not 100% sure that a message has come from HMRC, don't respond. If you're in doubt, don't click on any links or attachments. Scammers may include links to a fake HMRC website - to trick you into disclosing information.
Be particularly wary of emails using phrases like 'you have 3 days to reply' or 'urgent action required'.
Remember that you should always log into your online account via your browser, never via an emailed link.
Genuine emails from HMRC will never:
- notify you of a tax rebate or offer you a repayment
- ask you to disclose personal information such as your full address, Unique Taxpayer Reference or bank details
- ask for financial information such as specific figures or tax computations, unless you've given prior consent for this
- have attachments, unless you've given prior consent and formally accepted the risks
- provide a link to a login page or a form asking for information - instead we will ask you to log on to your online account to check for information
Forward suspicious emails to HMRC at: email@example.com or visit the HMRC website for more details.

Why aren't these pinwheels spinning merrily in the wind?
We know the wind passes this way. It always has.
But now the strong wind of past seems to have eluded us, choosing perhaps a different corridor to travel.
Should we remove these pinwheels lest they become a symbol of despair and ridicule?
Or should we wait with patience that they will spin to life once again?
If the former, our memories will forever be etched with disappointment.
If the latter, at least even a gentle breeze to turn just one pinwheel by the smallest of degree brings hope of windy days.

From where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the author and perfecter of my faith. I love sitting outside on a bench that faces the mountain that's near to my house and having my quiet time. I sip my coffee, munch on a bagel or cereal, watch Finn pounce on…
Tag: contentment
assuming asaph, living like levi
I am a 21st century Levite. Is that OK to say?
Home, for me, is a word that has no boundaries, no nestled yard or cement walls that stay constant for too long.
Who told you
Anyone who sat near me today on the airplane probably wondered why I was giggling.
I didn't have an opportunity to share the reason for my literal "lol." It certainly wasn't the instant coffee that I asked for two refills on to alleviate my caffeine headache.

Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter Presents Employees with Dreamcatcher Pins, Extending a Piece of Nation Culture as a Symbol of Gratitude
Five years at Oneida Nation Enterprises can see a lot of transformations, growth and advancements. Five years ago, the addition of TS Steakhouse began the culinary transformation that most recently brought six new restaurants with the new Food Hall.
While a lot can happen in five years, a large number of faces have remained the same. More than 160 Nation employees recently celebrated five years of service with a celebration in their honor. A generous spread of all the Resort favorites were served during the Taste of Turning Stone themed luncheon including musical entertainment and decadent desserts.
There have been many achievements and successes and there will continue to be so during the next five years, said Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter, as he addressed Nation Enterprises employees. "And we are doing it all together. Our success would not be possible without you and all who have been with us since we opened in 1993. You are what makes this property so unique and special."
After lunch, Halbritter presented the five-year honorees with a dreamcatcher service award pin and a service award feather containing a sapphire gemstone. This pin represents the Nation's commitment to its employees, as well as recognizes each individual for their commitment, hard work and loyalty.
Gifts continue through the years for dedicated employees. On the 10th anniversary employees receive a service award feather with an onyx gemstone and 15 year honorees receive a feather featuring a ruby. At 20 years a feather with an emerald is added to the employee pin, a diamond signifies 25 years and an amethyst represents 30 years of service with the Oneida Nation.
The employees that reach the 10-, 15-, 20-, 25- and 30-year milestone also receive a gift selection brochure with twenty-four different gift options, including jewelry, TVs and other valuable electronics as another symbol of appreciation and thanks for their dedication with the Nation.

Autonomous Student Media: Gestures Towards the Ungovernable
Every so often on campus, students have to deal with the annoyance of a visit from InfoWars reporters. This is just part of being a student at UT, since InfoWars is based out of Austin and often seeks to get soundbites and content for sensationalist videos about liberal/leftist college students. While they are often treated as a joke, InfoWars is a dangerous force–especially for those who may try to call them out in person. In 2017, a young girl called them out on camera and was subsequently doxxed and harassed by InfoWars followers. Leftists or anybody who ends up with their face on an InfoWars livestream, whether on campus or at a protest, is at risk of doxxing & harassment from the Infowars mob.

Continuing our series of videos of lectures recorded at IFTA's annual conference held in London in October 2014, I give you one of my favourites: Robin Mesch, who founded the firm and is a veteran US futures trader. Not only does she know her subject inside-out and back-to-front, she speaks clearly, is well-paced, and manages to draw in her audience.
I'm not in the least bit surprised that she, like so many in North America, favour Market Profile – maybe because it was developed there for exchange traded derivatives. Kicking off with a graphic explanation in how we can develop neural pathways – and possibly a clever little party trick for you – she explains how these help us structure our perceptions.
Many will agree that the method is a strongly visual map plotting the progression of value. The famous Peter Steidlmayer (www.Wiley.com) believed his method, which she calls 'price usage charts', is the DNA of the market. They help traders decide whether a price is fair and when it's time to reassess.
Rather than laboriously outlining the basics, she steams right into its more advanced concepts and. If you need an introduction, buy Steidlmayer on Markets. I hope you'll enjoy both as much as I did.

Railway bridge across the Prokhladnaya River
The Bridge is at the 17th kilometer of the Kaliningrad ? Bagrationovsk section of the Kaliningrad railway.
Work started: December 2006; Work completed: May 2008.
The new single-span bridge has been built in place of an old 3x13.4 m bridge. The new span is 66 m long, with a metal truss and track on ballast-free ferroconcrete slabs.
The project involves installing unloading packets 12 meter long; slots in embankments for building abutments for a new bridge; installing a pile screen; building pile foundations made of 530 mm metal pipes; building solid abutments; installing the new span using the semi-cantilevering method on a parallel axis; dismantling the old arc brick bridge; transverse sliding of the new span; dismantling temporary unloading packets, dismantling the pile screen; earth heaping, planning and paving embankment cones, installing stairs on embankment slopes.
Excavators Hitachi and JCB with a hydraulic hammer were used to dismantle the old brick bridge. The new span was slid on temporary supports using hydraulic jack with a payload of 100 tons.
