Actuaries - any ideas? @TheActuaryMag

@NicholasTyrone

This is the homework my son was sent home with from year one. I'm totally baffled here. What is the "part, part whole" supposed to mean? Any thoughts from Twitter appreciated.

@TheActuaryMag @actuarynews

Very inspirational article from Abdul on getting through the exams - having been stuck on CP1 for a while I know the pain of 'hitting the wall' and have also questioned whether to keep going. You've inspired me so have succeeded with your mission 


@HigherEdActuary

In the UK, where we use the ddmmyy format, palindromists are  much looking forward to 2 November next year. 021120

You're welcome. 


@SmoothRegulator

@TheActuaryMag @actuaries Should actuaries chessbox?

London Chessboxing @LDNchessboxing

A big thank you to all the fighters last night, in particular Toby White for stepping in at the last minute and Brian Mak for fighting despite the flu! Thanks also to the LCB team, The Dome and our sponsors. 


@HigherEdActuary

"The actuary's danger may lie in too close preoccupation with his particular techniques … It is not the tools he uses which make a great craftsman. It is the way he feels and thinks."

Wise words from Frank Redington. 

Will you FEEL and THINK today? 


@FirstCareUK

"The issue of an ageing workforce could become a significant productivity challenge for the UK." 

Businesses should have strategies in place to support older workers via @TheActuaryMag
