For the world's billionaires, this week is already proving rough. The Chinese stock market dropped 8.5 percent Monday, the biggest single-day decline since 2007, and the world's 400 richest people lost about $124 billion collectively. Chinese billionaires lost more than $14 billion of their net worth Monday alone, while the Shanghai composite index dropped by another 7.6 percent Tuesday, Bloomberg reported.
Wang Jianlin, the richest person in Asia and chairman of the Dalian Wanda Group, was the hardest hit. He lost $3.6 billion Monday, more than any other billionaire. Of that, $2 billion was lost when shares of the Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties Co. sank 17 percent since going public in December. Another $1 billion in losses came from declines in the Wanda Cinema Line Co.
Bill Gates, the former Microsoft chairman, was the second-most affected person, losing more than $3.2 billion Monday. In Asia, billionaires in mainland China suffered the most, losing 6 percent of their total net worth. 

China's stock markets have been steadily dropping since mid-June and in the past month have declined by more than 30 percent. The government devalued the yuan, or renminbi, Aug. 11 in a futile effort order to break the fall. But when the Shanghai composite index fell nearly 8.5 percent Monday, regional and global markets reeled. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, for instance, dropped 1,000 points upon opening Monday morning and closed nearly 600 points down.
For the billionaires, this week's losses were hardly unpredictable. Last week, the world's same 400 richest people lost a total of $182 billion as markets fell. That might sound like a lot of money, and to most people, it is quite the fortune. But for billionaires, it's less significant that it sounds, some suggested.
“For them that’s a fractional percentage, even though $182 billion is a big number,” John Collins, director of investment advisory at Aspiriant, a wealth management frim for high net worth clients, told Bloomberg. “A week like this feels really bad, but when you take a step back, in a big-picture view it’s not a disaster by any means.”
Wang still has a fortune of $31.2 billion, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index showed. One Japanese billionaire, meanwhile, even benefited from the chaos. Tadashi Yanai, the richest person in Japan, gained $106 million as the yen strengthened against the dollar.

St Thomas Aquinas High School Football Team

 
 
 
 
 
By Jana Serrano


Football is undoubtedly the most popular sport in the United States. It is by far the most watched event in the entire nation, bringing together multitudes of people from all walks of life. This creates a friendly, testosterone driven atmosphere filled with shouts and cheers for their bets to win.

This game requires extensive training to maximize chances of winning and minimize the dangerous consequences of errors in this full contact sport. The number of students who participate have grown quite fast and they all have the passion and competitive edge to become champions. The Raiders, which is the St Thomas Aquinas High School football team, have won almost a hundred trophies.

The thing about this game or The Raiders or generally games like this is that there is this pure, unabashed joy of connecting with other fans and indulging in the revelry of rooting for their team to grab the coveted championship. Quite ironically, joining others in a festivity like this brings out not only the competitive nature in each of us. It also promotes a sense of brotherhood and camaraderie that facilitates excellent social relationships.

Team sports are the best avenues for learning fantastic social skills as they provide a relatively safe simulation of what do during tough situations. One such setup can be found in schools during Physical Education classes and extra curricular activities that give students a chance at joining varsity teams and compete with other schools.

Such sports that students participate in are practically considered simulations in which the teen develops quick decision making skills, empathy, proper conduct, respect, and most especially teamwork. This has been incorporated by St Thomas Aquinas into their students and has long since benefited from the positive results of their athletic programs ever since.

St Thomas coach Rocco Casullo himself has verbalized how proud he is of the guys on the offense, defense, and special teams. He mentioned that they put it all together after their previous loss. This shows resilience which makes them very admirable and popular.

The Raiders have been through ups and downs, just like everyone else. It goes without saying that they too faced their own weaknesses and bounced right back. With the help of their mentors and the support of the entire school, their players have learned valuable lessons, survived, and prospered season after season of hardcore full contact games.

The team showed humility when they admitted certain areas of their behavior and attitude they could improve on to make them more effective. In the previous season, they stated that due to complacency, they have been defeated. This type of arrogance has no room in their group and is being addressed appropriately by their coach. With much discussion and further training, the group recovered and won yet another trophy in their latest battle on the football field.

The Raiders set the bar high with their stellar defense and unstoppable touchdowns. For them, it is a matter of doing what is needed to be done. The manner of execution is incomparable and this team is almost unbeatable. If there are loopholes in their techniques, they can find them and fix them. They are a confident team with a highly competent coach to boot. If anything, they can dissect the weaknesses of other teams too. This enables them to find a way to exploit their defenses and ensure a victory in the end.

Questions Every Aspiring Actor Should Ask

 
 
 
 
 
By Jennifer Marie Anderson


Those who have been involved in acting can tell you that it's one of the best experiences to be imagined. Even though it will take work, the truth of the matter is that you ultimately receive what you put in. You must learn every step of the way, either through normal studies or the efforts you put on stage. For those who are looking to get the most out of this endeavor as possible, these are just a couple of queries you would be wise to bring up.

"What is the pertinent factor in this field?" Acting entails a number of components, some perhaps more important to you than others. For instance, even though you may be able to act well, your memorization of key lines may be shaky. This is where you may be asked to study your script more constantly, focusing on important lines that you know you'll have to get right. If you're able to take part in this, it's likely that you will become that much better of an actor.

"What kinds of acting tools are there?" Of course, there exist multiple ways to increase your skill in act, which is what you should know. Method acting is perhaps one of the most common methods, as it entails the idea of playing a character on a regular basis. When you do this, even the most mundane actions require you to stay in the role, which has a positive impact on your work. Keep in mind if you are looking for more unique exercises to take part in.

"How do I approach any audition?" After you are through with college, it's safe to assume that you will take part in auditions. It's understandable as to why this is, since it's the main way to land any role. However, you must approach this matter with a sense of confidence. You must not be overly conceited, though, as those who are in charge of auditions will pick up on this. They want to hire people who are best for the job, in terms of talent and personality, so try to find the perfect balance.

Hopefully these questions can help you better understand how to become a better actor or actress. You want to get involved in theater, as well as behind the screens others can watch, all the while portraying characters in unique stories. Even though your ability may be shaky, at the onset, this doesn't mean that you'll be unable to improve. It's just a matter of asking questions, absorbing the knowledge given, and putting it to use throughout your studies and life in general.
