The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) changes the way psychiatrists and other physicians working with Medicare patients will be paid. The goal is to reimburse care based on quality and value rather than the number of services you provide.
The APA has developed a resource which includes detailed instructions on how psychiatrists can clarify their status under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and what they can do now to earn higher payments and avoid future penalties.

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) changes the way psychiatrists and other physicians working with Medicare patients will be paid. The goal is to reimburse care based on quality and value rather than the number of services you provide. Before the final rule was announced, the APA raised several concerns about MACRAs impact on psychiatry and their advocacy efforts paid off. To break down the new rule, the APA is working on a web-based toolkit and webinar series to help members understand the new MACRA rule. Learn more at psychiatry.org/MACRA.
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions that NCPA has been receiving regarding MACRA and payment reform. The APA has great information on its website, so we have tried to answer these questions briefly and then provide the website link that will give you more information.
Q: Do I have to participate in MACRA?
To figure out whether or not you are exempt, please refer to the CMS website.
Clinicians may also opt out of participating in MACRA, this will result in a -5% payment adjustment on your Medicare Part B payments in 2020.
Q: What is the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)?
The reporting methods for MIPS are the same methods that were utilized in PQRS – e.g. claims, EHR and registry reporting. To learn more, download the APA's MIPS Fact Sheet.
Q: What is the easiest way to do MIPS reporting?
A. The easiest way to do MIPS reporting is to join APA's national mental health registry, PsychPRO, which CMS has approved as a qualified clinical data registry. PsychPRO will provide tools and reports to help members maximize reporting through enhanced data collection and access to more relevant quality measures. APA members can sign up for free by going to the portal on the APA website. Once connected, PsychPRO does your MIPS reporting for you.
Q: What is the Advanced Alternative Payment Model (Advanced APM)?
A: An Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) is a payment approach that gives added incentive payments to provide high quality cost efficient care. CMS must approval all Advanced APM, examples include Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Next Generation ACO Models. A small number of psychiatrists are expected to earn APM incentives in the early stages of MACRA. There is currently no mental health/substance use models of care that have been approved as Advanced APMS. To learn more, download the APA's APM Fact Sheet.
Q: Will the "pick your pace" reporting continue in 2018?
A: 2018 continues many of the flexibilities of the "pick your pace" program but CMS no longer uses the phrase "pick your pace." To avoid a rate penalty in 2020, clinicians must earn at least 15 points by correctly reporting a selection of measures to CMS, this can be achieved by submitting 6 quality measures that meet data completeness. To learn more, view the QPP Year 2 Fact Sheet.
Q: What is the length of time for which one needs to report?
A: The "performance period"—or the amount of time on which a physician must report—is 90 days for Advancing Care Information and Improvement Activities and 12 months for the Quality and Cost categories.
Q: What is the timeline? What do I need to do first? By when? What next?
A: This is best summarized in a graphic from CMS.
Q: How much time will it take?
A: This will be highly variable depending on the sophistication of your practice, your electronic medical record, and your administrative staff support.
Q: Where Can I Get Help and More Information?
MIPS combines portions of three quality programs: Meaningful Use (MU), the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and the Value-Based Payment Modifier (VBM). MIPS also adds a new category of Clinical Practice Improvement Activities.
Providers receive payment adjustments based on measures of quality, resource use, advancing care information (EHR use) and clinical practice improvement.
APMs include Accountable Care Organizations, Bundled Payments and Medical Homes. Participating in an advanced APM can exempt you from MIPS, and can lead to more favorable financial incentives, including a potential 5% lump sum bonus payment. Choosing an APM requires you to meet quality, financial risk and payer/revenue mix measurements.


HR departments will have plenty of experience dealing with annoying inconveniences and issues with an organisation's employees, from frequent queries about holiday entitlement, sickness and absence, to grievance procedures, to people not following correct processes. But sometimes these issues can have more catastrophic consequence. Contributor Maddy Keating Marketing Specialist – MHR.
Here are some of the biggest HR Horror Stories and the problems departments can face, offering advice to overcome these issues and avoid tricky situations.
We've all experienced the frustration of spam or dodgy emails filling our inboxes. The problem is, scammers have become more sophisticated and it is getting harder to tell when an email is fake. There are usually two ways your employees can be affected.
One is that an email is sent to someone in your organisation, which looks legitimate, but is actually filled with a virus. When opened, it can shut down computers, copy files and corrupt your systems. This could lead to personal data breaches, or ransom notes to get your systems back online. This scenario was well-publicised by the WannaCry Randomware attack which targeted the NHS and other high profile systems, refusing to allow access until payment was made. It affected front line services and caused significant disruption for days.
The other scenario is an employee within the accounts department, for example, is sent an email with an invoice or a request from a director, asking for funds to be transferred. These requests are often written in a way that matches the sender's way of writing, becoming an easy trap to enter. Thousands of pounds can be lost through the payment of these scam requests. This type of trickery can affect HR, marketing and sales departments too by asking for personal information on employees or customers. This type of breach can cause serious damage to an organisation's reputation and individuals could also be held liable.
To avoid both these types of scams, HR departments need to work with IT and security departments to ensure all employees are aware of proper email etiquette. Training or spot checks may be required to ensure employees are following these rules to avoid the chance of hacking. This is particularly important with the introduction of GDPR, as companies can be fined thousands for data breaches and the release of personal information.
The Ransomware attack highlighted how outdated NHS systems were, which contributed to the scale of the attack. In collaboration with IT teams, HR need to ensure that IT and security systems are updated and protected from attack, staying up to date with the latest compliance. Whilst HR are not often seen as the technology experts, they are responsible for people data, and so it is important they become well-versed in understanding how to protect their organisations from such fraudsters.
When a job is advertised at your company, sometimes tens or hundreds of CVs can be sent in, with a variety of promising candidates hoping for success. The problem is, can you always tell which candidates are telling the truth, and which are sheep in wolves clothing?
A small white lie on a CV is something many people are guilty of, and overselling certain experience or skills in an interview may be common when candidates are desperately trying to impress. If you hire someone who has not been 100% truthful, it's not usually a huge issue and the only headache is some extra training to help them settle into the role.
However, what happens when someone applies for a skilled job and has lied about their references or experience. What if someone attends an interview, and isn't who they declare to be? In recent months, a case was sent to tribunal where a pilot had included a fake reference named after a Star Wars character, and it hadn't been checked properly by the hiring team. Once discovered the company fired the employee and was then taken to tribunal accused of breaching employee rights. Luckily, they won the case but it could easily have gone the other way.
The recruitment process can be a major headache for HR teams with the demands on time and admin involved. However, it is crucial to ensure that stringent processes are in place during recruitment to protect organisations from potential fraud. Whilst references may often feel like a formality, it is important that they are thoroughly checked to ensure the information and experience is accurate, especially for highly skilled roles. References may look legitimate, but no one wants to be responsible for hiring a surgeon or engineer who can't perform.
To avoid identity fraud, HR teams may choose to ask for passports during the interview stage, to confirm the candidate's identity before any potential job offer is given. It is also crucial when employing non-British candidates that all the relevant Right to Work documents are collected and checked for accuracy before a role is agreed.
These simple checks can help to avoid spending a fortune on repeat recruitment a few months down the line when the candidate's true identity is revealed.
Ghosting is a term most often used in the dating scene – you go on a date, you think it's going well, and then you never hear from them again. Now, this phenomenon is entering the workplace. There has been an increase in instances where candidates accept interviews, or even a job offer, and then disappear without another word. No matter how you try to reach them, you get no response. This can be detrimental in the recruitment process and cause huge delays in replacing roles within your organisation, as well as wasting time and resources.
The reason for this has been blamed on the experience candidates have faced in the past. One of the largest complaints candidates have about the recruitment process is the lack of feedback from employers when they apply for a job. For years, candidates have completed lengthy applications and jumped through multiple hoops, to hear nothing back. Now it seems the tables have turned and it is organisations who are being haunted by these sudden silences.
HR teams can help to combat this by ensuring that their organisation's recruitment process is as efficient as possible, Many candidates want to complete the process in as little as a week, and the majority think more than two weeks is too long so it is important to keep processes as short as possible, whilst keeping candidates up to date during each step.
Thank them for applying for the role, set out timescales so they know what to expect, and offer key information to help them prepare. Communication is vital to ensure your candidate feels their time has been appreciated, making them less likely to drop off the radar. And if they haven't been successful, offer some feedback. This will ensure your company leaves candidates with a positive image of your organisation, which will ultimately help with future recruitment and the overall company reputation. With social media, there's nowhere to hide. One final piece of HR horror that might be keeping you up at night? GDPR… enough said.

Janusz Pozniak: Who is the glass-blower on Netflix's Blown Away?

Janusz Pozniak: Who is the glass-blower on Netflix's Blown Away? Pic credit: The Henry Ford/Twitter
Over the weekend Netflix released a reality competition show called Blown Away where 10 contestants duke it out using the art of glassblowing. One of these contestants stood out from the rest, showing himself to be an expert inventive craftsman.
This person is Janusz Pozniak and throughout the 10 episode series, his abilities to make innovative glass craftsmanship made him one of the show's biggest highlights.
But fans of the series might be curious about who the glassblower is beyond the confines of the series. Here is everything to know about Janusz Pozniak from the Netflix show Blown Away.
Who is Janusz Pozniak from Netflix's Blown Away?
According to his website, Pozniak has actually been involved with glass blowing for three decades, starting at the age of 19. Given this knowledge, it's no wonder he is so skillful in the art form. He moved from the UK to Seattle in his teens to study under the arm of Dale Chihuly--who is also a world-famous glass sculptor.
In addition, Pozniak was already known around the world for his work giving lessons, and mentoring others in the field. Even before the show made a splash on Netflix, fans of his artwork knew of him from YouTube. Not because he has a YouTube channel but specifically because there are videos all over the web with Pozniak giving demonstrations to different colleges, institutions, and other places overseas helping others become better glass blowers. See the video below as an example :
On top of all this, of all the contestants of the show, it's very clear his motivations with his artwork as well as joining the competition stem from being a family man. All throughout the series, Pozniak speaks about his child being the reason he decided to enter the competition. Furthermore, Pozniak said in a recent interview with Seattle Times his wife urged him to enter the show so that his impressive style of glassblowing could gain more awareness.

He even discussed how being on the show caused him so much stress that he had to confide in her constantly:
"I was in tears on the phone with my wife because the stresses built up. Basically, you're blowing glass every three days and there's all the (expletive) to deal with in between that, making the piece, the piece cooling down overnight, then you've got to cold work it and glue it and present it in a gallery, and then be judged and eliminated. And all the waiting around to do with just making TV. So it all added up."
Pozniak's family being his driving point for his artistic inspiration and reasons for entering Blown Away make him one of the most relatable contestants to root for on the show. Regardless of the outcome, the future is undeniably bright for this extremely talented glassblower.
All 10 episodes of Blown Away are streaming on Netflix now.

JUDGE WALLACE LEAVES CRIMINAL COURT BENCH. ~ PRIDES HIMSELF THAT HE HAS CAUSED REFORMS.
JUDGE WALLACE LEAVES
CRIMINAL COURT BENCH.
PRIDES HIMSELF THAT HE HAS
CAUSED REFORMS.
Some Likelihood That Indictments
Returned by the Grand Jury
Will Be Dismissed by
Judge Latshaw.
Leaving the bench before Governor Joseph W. Folk had accepted his resignation, Judge William H. Wallace yesterday morning declared that his official connection with the criminal court was severed. Before adjourning court at noon Judge Wallace reviewed his work as criminal judge since his appointment to the bench.
"My resignation is in the hands of Governor Folk and I believe he will accept it in due time," Judge Wallace said. "I informed him that I would vacate at this time and I feel I should keep my promise."
In reviewing his work Judge Wallace recalled that he had kept up with docket and tried all cases promptly. He said that he had brought the parole system into its highest degree of efficiency. Besides his Sunday crusade, which he averred had been a success, Judge Wallace claimed that he had practically put a stop to the practice of carrying concealed weapons.
As soon as Judge Wallace left the bench, after telling the officers of the court goodby, he left the room, and a few minutes later Ralph S. Latshaw, the criminal judge-elect, entered. He at once opened court and informed the clerk and prosecuting attorney, I. B. Kimbrell, to set a number of cases for trial next week.
The arraignment of indicted persons was then begun and Judge Latshaw spent the afternoon hearing them.
Special Prosecutor A. O. Harrison, who had resigned before Judge Wallace vacated the bench, was summoned by Judge Latshaw, who told him that he understood that the indictments signed by the special prosecutor would be attacked. While the judge intimated that he would throw them out, he said he wanted to give Mr. Harrison an opportunity to present any argument why they should not be dismissed. Saturday was the time set for hearing the arguments of Mr. Harrison and Mr. Kimbrell.
A bill for $1,122.50 for services as special prosecutor was presented to Judge Wallace by Harrison and was O. K'd. The county court has signified its intentions not to pay the bill and Mr. Harrison will probably mandamus it.

Jerry Stackhouse Tries to Clarify Comments About Being Better Player Than Michael Jordan
By John Healy RADIO.COM
Jerry Stackhouse is not quite backing down from his comments about Michael Jordan, but rather clarifying his point.
The former two-time All-Star and Washington Wizards teammate of Jordan had said back in April that he believed he was a better player than his Hall of Fame teammate, but admitted he should have used a better choice of words.
"It came out wrong when I said I felt I was a better player than Michael Jordan," Stackhouse said on the Knuckleheads podcast with former NBA players Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles. "That sounds crazy, right? Michael Jordan is the greatest player.
"But, at that time, I was better suited to carry that team. I was 29 and I just showed you the year before … just go back and watch that tape man. The tape don't lie."
Stackhouse maintains that the only reason he was traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Washington Wizards was because of his tremendous success against them and that he outplayed Richard Hamilton – one of the players whom the Wizards sent to Detroit in the trade for Stackhouse.
In four games against the Wizards the year prior, Stackhouse averaged 19 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
"The reason I got traded to Washington because I bust their ass the year before," he said. "[Jordan] and Rip Hamilton. We beat them four straight times. That's why they wanted me on that team. … So, my mindset was I thought I was coming in to be the guy, and Mike was on his way out. But Mike was in like, 'Nah, this is not how I wanna go out' to the point … he changed that offense."
Jordan has since said he regrets not taking Stackhouse under his wing, but Stackhouse says that relationship, coupled with the fact that Washington was a floundering franchise trying to reach the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade, left him unhappy in Washington.
"Yeah, I didn't necessarily want to be there," he said. "It was cool — the thought of playing with Michael Jordan for that year and I could pick his brain — but it felt somewhat adversarial. We had been competitors so long; it just didn't flow."

The first year of the ab initio Russian course is intended to introduce students to the basics of the Russian language in papers SLA1 and SLA2, as well as to the interdisciplinary study of Russian culture in paper SLA3.
Ab initio students, on completion of their first year of studies, are advised to attend a summer language course which is held in the first three weeks of September in the Benedict School in St Petersburg.
Russian belongs to the group of Slavonic languages, and although there are many similarities between Russian and Romance and Germanic languages, there are many differences too, so the learning curve in the first year is very steep. Students are strongly advised to study as much basic Russian grammar as possible before you arrive in Cambridge. This can be done by independent study and/or by attending language courses either in Great Britain or abroad.
You will be asked to do an online exercise prior to coming to Cambridge. (Information will be sent out in late August). Even though this is an ab initio Russian course, students arrive with different levels of basic Russian. The aim of this exercise is to assess how much grammar and vocab you know and allocate you to the right group. The exercise will be based on the material covered in the first few lessons of the textbook (as outlined below).
Work through at least first six lessons of the ab initio textbook, Colloquial Russian by Susan E. Kay and Svetlana Le Fleming (Routledge, 3rd edition). The course comprises of paperback and audio materials available separately. The following links will take you to Quizlet, which contains exercises to help you learn vocabulary from the first six units.
ALL of Mikhail Lermontov, Geroi nashego vremeni [A Hero of Our Time] IN ENGLISH.
Teaching provision for paper SLA3 consists of 8 weekly lectures and 2 supervisions in Michaelmas; 16 weekly lectures and 8 weekly supervisions in Lent; and 4 revision supervisions in Easter. Supervisions for paper SLA3 in Lent and Easter will integrate language work with literary and cultural analysis of short Russian texts. Supervisions for paper SLA3 are organized centrally through the Section on behalf of your college. For details of this paper, see Introduction to Russian Culture (SLA3) .
Previous years' examination papers are available from the MML Library for ab initio Russian. Please note that past exam papers for SLA3 (previously RuA3) before Tripos 2010 are NOT relevant. Students will receive access to the password-protected Moodle sites at the beginning of the Michaelmas term.
Auty, R. & Obolensky, D., eds. Companion to Russian Studies, vols. 1-3 , (Cambridge).
The best-stocked bookstores for Russian books in the UK are: Grant & Cutler Ltd., 55-57 Great Marlborough Street, London W1V 2AY (tel: 0207-734 2012). They will provide information and catalogues on request. Heffers Bookshop in Cambridge will have copies of some set texts by the beginning of the Michaelmas Term. Many Russian books are available for downloading free on the web. The Colloquial Russian course book can be purchased from the Waterstone's or Blackwell's online shops or from amazon.co.uk.

Rather painful to listen as you collectively fail to think the unthinkable. The horror associated with your refusal to engage with the now necessary way of thinking the world in/of/for itself rather than for human civilization, which amounts to little more than ecocidal consumption and destruction. To think the world without human presence and thought as an utopian ideal, and the horror of realization that this is a required angle of approach for the anthropocene. The horror of listening to your tragic attempts to reinsert your own positionalities and presence when the epistemological value of this work is to dislocate yourselves – physically and intellectually – from a world that survives only absent of the human species.
The 'horror' associated with this text is that of discovering that the monster is ourselves. Within the horror genre, this is a consistent theme, wherein the text or film allows the audience to identify with a protagonist ultimately revealed to be the monster, the antagonist. 'The Legend' (book not movie) successfully pulled this off. And in terms of anthropocene thinking (above), the whole thing is akin to a Game of Thrones dynamic, wherein human society is duped by species-level infighting between kingdoms, while the White Walkers (a thinly veiled analogy for climate change) is the only real danger. HOWEVER, Thacker's work encourages us to look at ourselves as the monster, as the danger. We need to think of climate change as a global immune system response to the human virus. From the positionality of every other living thing, we are a genocidal force and a destructive element beyond comprehension. We are the horror of this planet – a planet rendered as dust through every single moment and action of human colonization of a planet that belongs equally to every living being, every fish, bird, amoeba, blade of grass,etc. The epistemology suggested by Thacker's work perhaps encourages us to think of a world for all living beings and ecosystems. To look at a tree or forest or stream or any ecosystem as a wonderful living being rather than a 'natural resource', and to think of a world for itself rather than yet another opportunity for human 'civilization' (ecological murder).


Sounds like: sexpistols, beatles, new age indie rock, sorta..
(copy and paste into your browser for now, ill get the forums fixed so you can click BC links in the future)..
Anyway, I listen to JPop/JRock. Heres a couple of nice bands that I listen to.
Gazette (I love ALL their stuff)- "Relia" is a good song.
Angun .... she has a brilliant voice.. worth a listen to. She is from Indonesia and similar voice to Annie Lennox.
yes Kyo we have Hikaru Utada really like it too.
Her new PV is good. "Keep Tryin"
Yes you can !. Just watched it. Very good.
Yes I did too... don't think its as good as her others though. She doesn't have that Annie Lennox sound in that song.. think thats what attracted me to her in the first place.
I'm looking forward to Modest Mouse's next album, which will come out sometime in March.
I'm a die hard RUSH fan and ther's a new cd soon to be released. Snakes and Arrows,if there are any rush fans out there you'll know the meaning of heavy metal,cause thats what they sound like when you hear the new single called far cry. It's like they started all over again considering their last album vapor trails which totally rocked i mean i thought i was listening to metallica or something lol.
TheHalf is a die hard rush fan also I think... if he's still around here.
ok.. i've been following this band for a while now since i really liked some of their tunes, but their new album comes out soon, and if you can get a hold of it, definitely grab it!
i'm super impressed with the final mixed versions of the songs, they have an electro-indie style undertones that is pretty fricken awesome. they were not present in the pre-released versions of their songs like Turn It Back, or Passchendaele. the album will be available in stores starting July 30th..
Avenged Sevenfold, they are a very good band.
Their newest album is a called "avenged sevenfold"
their previous album was called "The City of Evil"

Description: There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.
At least, that's what I thought.Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse.
There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
I've noticed the the reviews of this book seem to be situated on both sides of the spectrum with very few in the middle. You either love it or you hate it. While not 5 star worthy in my opinion, I really liked it! I found the male narrative to be interesting and refreshing. And despite that so many say that he isn't a believable "male" teenager, I think he is. I don't think we can say what the typical a male teen thinks (we may know how they act, but I think that is entirely different). I also really liked Lena. She was the opposite of what a lot of female characters are in today's teen fiction. I think we get a good look at how she struggles to fit in, and with understanding her own growing powers. I loved the cast of characters. Each had something to add to the story, and I thought they were well developed. I was curious how dual authors would work in this story, but I honestly would not have known if both names weren't on the cover. The story flows together seamlessly. The only drawback, in my opinion, was the ending. I'm not sure why, but I felt that it was a bit of a let down. You get so much tension and suspense built up to that point, and then I felt I didn't get the resolution I wanted. Not enough to drag down the book to much. You can bet I will be reading the sequel (I can't imagine that there won't be one).


Calves are very sensitive to diseases of all kinds during their first days of life. The earlier infections are detected, the faster the animals will recover. Daily calf health monitoring and documentation accompanied by temperature measurement as appropriate, is often not yet a routine on the farms. Urban is now offering a new DLG medal-winning solution.
Urban GmbH & Co. KG has developed a practical tool for calf health monitoring: VitalControl, a hand-held device for measuring body temperature and evaluating calf health. It comes with an integrated keypad and a high-contrast colour screen. During routine calf barn tours, the farmer will use VitalControl to scan the animal number from the transponder and measure body temperature. The device will classify the result into a green, yellow or red status category. Further health-relevant parameters can be evaluated visually and documented, such as consistency of faeces, respiratory diseases, general health status, etc. The software generates alarm lists from the recorded data, processes all entered data into easy-to-read graphics and can be linked to the Urban feeder so that drinking behaviour can also be included into the animal assessment. In this way, the calf health can be reliably assessed and documented and diseases can be detected earlier. For work monitoring, each of the measurements and assessments can be tracked and assigned to the employee who entered them into the system.
The long measuring tip of the VitalControl is slim and made of flexible material, so that the measurement takes place in sufficient depth and is not unpleasant for the animal. The head of the device can be rotated, which makes the handling and insertion of the measuring tip much easier. In addition, the thermometer has an integrated light that shines towards the measuring tip to facilitate handling even in poorly lit areas of the barn.
The waterproof device has a powerful rechargeable battery and data interfaces (USB; WLAN; WiFi) for transferring the data to a computer or an automatic feeder.

Welcome to mercury cubs, we meet on a Thursday 7.15-8.45 at St Andrews church term time only.
The pack is run by Ian Meadows and Richard Thorn.
We think scouting should be fun and we look to run a varied programme, we want the cubs to work towards badges but we also want to expose the children to opportunities they wouldn't normally get to see, for instance we have run sleepovers at London zoo Bed Bugs, Natural History Museum Dino Snores, Secret Nuclear Bunker and HMS Belfast.
We also don't forget our legacy and want to keep to traditional outdoor scout activities and skills such as backwards cooking, camping and life skills and do an outside camp every year. We also get involved in District events such as Soap box derby, Scooter Challenge, Air Rifle and Archery completions.
We are closely linked with Dragon cub pack and run a yearly bowling competition and an end of year summer water fight with them.
