#needless to say I didn't get the required participation attempts
So I was playing MHA: Stongest Hero, and everytime I ran into a region it kicked me out saying there were 3 players, when there was CLEARLY only 2.
Then chat asked what Yellow 1 what doing.
Apparently I was Yellow 1.

RCF in India held its e-tender yesterday, triggering a funny memory from 2005.
It was a warm October in 2005, and I had just become a proud father for the first time. Monomeros from Colombia began conducting its e-tenders, and we participated alongside an international trading company. The requirement was for 30,000 metric tonnes of prilled urea. That trader was responsible for bidding, and the auction automatically extended by a minute every time someone offered a lower price. It was 9 or 10 pm on a Friday night when I finally received a text from my good friend at the trading company saying, "We got it!" Needless to say, the message was relayed to my management, and the corks popped.
However, neither that night nor the next morning did a confirmation from Monomeros follow.
The reason was simple: our bidding guy didn't refresh the tender page. When it automatically refreshed, the tender was already closed, and he mistakenly thought we had won it.
Upon discovering this, we attempted to send an official letter to Monomeros, but it was already too late to appeal (and, quite literally, nothing could be done). Long story short, I had to find a successful bidder and winner, which happened to be another trading company, and sell the product to them at a sufficient discount to get rid of it.
So, RCF was offered with a sufficient quantity of 3.2 million tonnes. Some say $340 per metric tonne CFR will be a good price. Tomorrow will reveal, and don't forget to refresh your pages :)

☆ — REI.
how sweet~ you insisted on spending time with the elder little vampire who's blood was already colder than ice, by inviting him to a day of ice-skating?
He actually is not familiar participating in the activity. ( he stays inside too much to even go out for something of the sort- )
He has seen ice skating done before: from Kaoru. A bunch of times really, but he can't find a single reason why skating in a cold setting is considered anything suitable for a date. Especially for somebody such as himself. Hell! He'd freeze to death for real in that place.
And you'd have to pay the price by hearing him whine, plus be required to spend extra time with him inside his coffin to keep him warm for the whole day afterward!
Though, the thought was what mattered, right? And he was settled with that. He loved hearing and attempting the things you loved so how could he say no to that?
So needless to say, he absolutely sucked at it, he could barely balance himself on the blades for a minute before slipping on the rink or bumping face-forward into the wall- ouch!
It took him a while to get the hang of it completely, but after some practice and a lot of falling, he did it. Even if Kaoru might've even helped him learn.
He even learnt how to do an layback and upright spin––something you could not, which you refused to admit
If he falls over, he definitely waits for you to come pick him up. He won't say it, he'll just sit there and wait for you to come help him back on his feet! An easy ticket for him to interlock his hands with yours to surprise you into a dance on the ice, right?
And he just laughed at you in awe. “Hm, oh? Aw, thank you, dear.”
You swooned at his words, they were as always as endearing as the next, complimenting how good you are.
Even if he didn't find the appeal of it at first, he got so deep into it he asked to do it with you again when he had the time. But this time--lets go during midnight, alright?
☆ — KAORU.
He was the one who indicated the invite! What could be better than taking his favorite person in the whole wide world to something that he was particularly interested in?
He's unbelievably good at skating, the first time you saw him he looked elegant with every motion he made on the ice and you were truly mesmerized.
Very energetic on ice, and it shows.
Insisted on getting you both to wear matching skates that he has designed himself–– gold with little roses printed on it, they shine through the light causing reflections of many mini rainbows on the rink.
He's an absolute show off — always doing moves that only someone who's improved to the point you could even call them professional, could do them perfectly. He likes to see your face when he's performing these tricks! If you stare too long he is bound to run towards you and pick you up before you can even snap back to reality to notice you're in mid-air.
It gets to the point where he becomes an actual threat in skates. He'll swoop you up like a child and go around as fast he knows possible on the rink, reassuring you everything is gonna be fine! and he knows exactly what he's doing, he's done it before!
But, oh how you wish you could slam his flirtatious little face against the ice the two of you slid upon. Because next thing you know––he's spinning around, jumping, going backward: and you're getting so painfully dizzy It hurts your brain.. and you accidentally just FLUNG out of his grip
“ah?!— I'm so so sorry, love!”
After that, he refused to pick you up again for a while–– and decided maybe.. holding their hand would be a lot safer.

☆ — KOGA.
Didn't expect the invitation.
no. damn. clue in his RIGHT mind. Why you find this "sport" interesting, even if he feels that way––he’d expect it from you no doubt.
You always seemed to have this sort of thing for winter, you get much more excited when snow is falling from the sky, the temperature is below 0° and it's so... cute to him in a way he refuses to believe.
When everything is frozen, and lakes are perfect to skate across! He wasn't even aware you were into this type of thing. Seeing you on ice was rather beautiful! You knew so many tricks that he wanted to try them all out. scratching hearts in the ice with your skates was one of the few he found so very cool and thought: could you make a star?
The moment he gets on the ice, he falls but he quickly catches himself on all fours like a cat instead of a dog. And he's rather bitter about messing up so many times, he's not patient. one. bit.
“Hey! you never told me you could do this type of thing, do you expect me to easily learn how to do this shit!?”
In other words, he's indirectly asking for you to help him learn how to, he's absolutely willing if he gets to see you perform those cool tricks you did and eventually learn how to do them himself. Maybe even become better than you so there can be some admirable competition.
“Koga-kun, I wouldn't expect you to actually find this interesting.” you laugh, picking him up from the cold floor, holding his gloved hands in your own.
“It's cool I guess-- ya' pretty good at it for a little nobody.” he joked, laughing at you when you gasped at the compliment that progressed into an insult. “We're ya always that damn good on ice?” he asked, with curiosity.
Beginning to drag him alongside you on the ice to give him a start of pace, slowly moving together with one step at a time, and he was enjoying every second of it--the warmth of your hand against his own. it's so soothing. ♪
“Well for your information! No-- I used to be terrible like you, I was just motivated to teach myself more” you began to spin, not letting go of his hand as he let you carry him for this one time and one time only!
☆ — ADONIS.
He loves the idea of ice skating with you, another memorable and fun time the two of you can share! So he thought, why not?
He's never done this with somebody else before--he worries he won't be good but that's what you expect right? But you were flabbergasted when he actually gave it a shot
His balance is off the charts amazing for a beginner, He tries to mimic your every move to the best of his ability, he doesn't fall much and it surprised you since he's never gone skating before on ice.
Now if you're about to fall over, he's very quick to rescue you in the nick of time! Which you're very grateful for.
He thinks your wobbling on the ice sometimes is cute! Please allow him to hold your hand, it's something he wants to try but is too nervous to commit to it.
Such a supporting person to do this with! He helps you, you help him.
And when he doesn't skate or is taking a break, he's watching you! He loves watching you skate and he loves to take notes on how your skating techniques and to try to copy them. eventually to use that for a skate duo.
And that's one of his things he favourites, dancing on ice with you. It's so angelic to others at the rink watching the two of you sway on the ice. Him holding onto your hips doing spins and jumps, sort of similar to Kaoru being careless.
Unlike Kaoru, he's very careful to make sure you do not get hurt! he'd never be able to forgive himself if you did, very gentleman like (≧▽≦)
“Please hold onto me tight, I don't want you to fall and hurt yourself.”
and you just chuckled, face heating up already from the caring gesture. Today wasn't bad, it was anything from bad. It was more better than any day you've had in a long while ... And the feeling was mutual.
