Derivatives are financial instruments that have no intrinsic value but derive their value from something else. Basically, they are just bets. You can “hedge your bet” that something you own will go up by placing a side bet that it will go down. “Hedge funds” hedge bets in the derivatives market. Bets can be placed on anything, from the price of tea in China to the movements of specific markets.

some people forget that the temp will not instinctively know that she needs to book the interview room, make copies of resumes for all interviewers, tell the interviewers that the interview is happening, and prepare application forms for all the applicants. especially when all you told her to do was "call the applicants and make sure they can come on tuesday at 2pm."
If you forget this, the temp might make this face.

Tapestry in the State Library
Oz by Martin Sharp
About my photographs.
The photograph of the Library was taken from the women's bathroom in the restaurant Level 41, (the food was also pretty good).
The 'two planes' was taken when a plan flew past so close to the window by the time I whipped my camera out it had past by, but low and behold there was another one just a little further in the distance. So in the image you can see two jet streams.
I shot Queen Mary 2 from the Mitchell roof
