A look at financial volatility

My family and rollercoasters
Posted by Anne Pannabecke... on Monday, December 17, 2018

I have four children and they are split 50-50 as far as their enjoyment of rollercoasters. 

The thrill of the climb, the shock of the drop, the blood rushing through their veins – two of them enjoy every moment of the experience, but two not so much.  They were all raised in a similar environment, have common parents, same gene pool, etc. but two of them have a stomach for risk and two do not. 

It should also be noted that my oldest child has developmental disabilities and she really has no business being on a rollercoaster in the first place.  (We learned that the hard way, but that’s a story for another day.)

Ping pong anyone?

Ada HS engineering design class working with robots
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, December 16, 2018

FROM ADA BULLDOGS FACEBOOK - Ada High School's VEX Engineering Design class recently worked with robots.

Students in the class programed VEX robots to autonomously pick up one ping pong ball and drop it into the can, then using the remote control to pick up another ping pong ball and drop it in the can.

These actions simulate the VEX competition events where 15 seconds of the competition is autonomous and 45 seconds is completed by remote control.
