# The RiverBank

The RiverBank was an American bank offering banking, insurance and investment services in Wisconsin and Minnesota. On October 7, 2011 the Minnesota Department of Commerce shut down The RiverBank and subsequently the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. To protect depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Central Bank, Stillwater, Minnesota, to assume all of the deposits of The RiverBank.

## History

In 1894, Charles Oakey made a decision that Osceola needed to have a bank. Mr. Oakey planned the organization of a private bank and opened for business in the "Filzen Building," now known as "P.Y.'s." Charles' nephew, Harry Harding, joined him as a cashier and they managed The Bank of Osceola for the next four decades. In 1903, the bank became a state bank and corporation.
The demand for financial services increased to the point where another bank appeared practical, so Jean A. Sleeper seized the opportunity, organized a new bank and built a brick building for it across the street from The Bank of Osceola. The new Osceola State Bank opened to the public on October 21, 1916. Both banks prospered for several years, then came the Stock Market Crash, the Great Depression and the bank holiday. When order had been restored in late 1932, the two banks had merged. The bank was now under the leadership of Mr. B. J. Zimmerman, who had been with the Osceola State Bank since 1923.
In 1996, the bank, in response to industry changes, looked to expand its market area and purchased property in both St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin and North Hudson, Wisconsin. The bank looked to change its name to more closely align with its planned expansion in the St. Croix Valley. In August 1995, the Bank of Osceola became known as The RiverBank. The bank opened its first branch in St. Croix Falls in December 1995. The second branch facility was opened in North Hudson, Wisconsin in May 1998. Locations were then added in MarketPlace Foods and Somerset, Wisconsin and in Chisago City and Wyoming, Minnesota.
On October 7, 2011 the Minnesota Department of Commerce shut down The RiverBank after years of losses and concerns from the regulator of high concentration of land and land-development loans the bank had made in outlying areas of the Twin Cities. Subsequently the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. All deposits were moved to Central Bank, Stillwater, Minnesota.

# Souk El Jomaa

Souk El Jomaa (Arabic: سوق الجمعة) is the first souk that was made in Sfax even before the fence and the Great Mosque of Sfax. It is located in the middle of the Medina, in the east side of the Great Mosque of Sfax, between the latter's path and Nahj El Bey.

## History

Considering that its location is not far from the sea, this souk was the destination of the village residents' products and other neighboring islands before the establishing of the medina.
It was named the way it is in relation to the day it used to open on which was "friday". It used to have all kinds of products until other souks were made and things got more organized and each souk had its own speciality that it was made for. As a result, Souk El Jomaa became dedicated to selling old clothes and furniture.
Today, Souk El Jomaa is open for all the days of the week.

## Architecture

The now-existing architecture is different from the one it used to be. In the thirteenth century it was named Souk El Kachachine according to a document dated 1262. At the beginning of this century, a coffee shop, an electric light tank and huge water containers called Mejel used to be located in the middle,
During the Husainid era, a school that had a mosque for prayers and houses for the students of the Great Mosque of Sfax was established in the Souk. Also, on its south Mosque of El Turk was built, west from the school.

# Relaxacon

A relaxacon (sometimes relaxicon) is a science fiction convention which has little formal programming and very few organized activities, as the point is that the organizers can relax during the convention. Though informal, relaxacons can occur on a regularly scheduled basis, such as Arisia Inc.'s Relaxacon, which was held yearly from 2006 through 2019. Starting in 2021 the running of the Arisia Relaxacon was taken over by Massachusetts Convention Fandom, Inc. (MCFI) with an attempt to make it more of a general Boston and east coast area Relaxacon.
Relaxacons are generally small, ranging from 50 to 200 attendees. They are often invitation or word-of-mouth only. They are a chance for the organizers of a large convention to get together with the other organizers and relax once the convention is over, and are held a month or more after the regular convention. Some large conventions use relaxacons as a reward for volunteers, and as a way of using up leftover supplies (similar to a dead dog party). This can be seen as contributing to SMOF-ish behavior, which some members of the fandom can find off-putting.

## History

The first convention that was labelled as relaxacon was Midwestcon in 1950. Science fiction author Jack Chalker suggested the term originated at the 1966 Midwestcon. However, earlier uses of the word have possibly been identified in a 1956 issue of the newszine Fantasy Times and a 1957 issue of Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Both instances used the spelling "relaxicon."

## Sercon

Relaxacons are often contrasted with Sercon conventions, ones (purportedly) devoted solely to serious constructive discussion of science fiction topics. Organizers of most of those conventions sometimes described as "sercon" tend to be uncomfortable with the label, since the term originally implied a highly unfannish lack of a sense of fun and self-perspective.
