So I am a Software Engineer by trade, and actually happen to love python. I spent a good amount of time building up retrieval for historical data, automate current playing.. and was happy as a clam doing that for a week or two
Now I'm pretty much done that, and realized thats the easy part, now I have to actually figure out how to generate winning models to consistently win.
Obviously noone wants to give away secrets, but if any players that do well have any tips on how to get started generating effective models, or really any general advice? Should I be focused on regression solvers? More semantic analysis? Strictly Quantitative? Finding my self a little lost!

Inspired by the voyages of many Arabian travelers and explorers, this Holy Month of Ramadan, Fairmont Dubai offers a culinary journey like never before that will take you back in time. From eight influential cuisines prepared in time honored traditions to the finest traditional fare complimented by authentic Arabian hospitality.
Follow the footsteps of the Arabian travelers and explorers through their journeys in the form of a Ramadan tent and an Iftar buffet showcasing traditional dishes and delicacies from eight influential Muslim cuisines from The Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Former Ottoman Empire, Levant, Southeast Asia, Morocco, Persia to Mughal.
This Ramadan, allow Fairmont The Palm to guide you through this blessed time with a series of experiences designed to surround you in the true spirit of the Holy Month. Gather together with loved ones at the special al fresco tent, where traditional Iftars and Suhours will be served from sunset to sunrise.
In partnership with Zuhour Group, Sababa Tent by Mezzah House will bring beautiful interiors and impeccable service where guests can enjoy Middle Eastern entertainment and Arabic hospitality. Traditional Ramadan specialties will be prepared by the chefs demonstrating their expertise at live cooking stations. What's more, there will be varied live entertainment every night including Arabic bands, Egyptian and Turkish Tanoura dances, traditional Saj Baker, fortune tellers and henna artists and will also be showing UEFA Euro 2016 matches after 6pm each night.
I was lucky enough to get invited by PazMarketing to Fairmont Palms, SABABA TENT to enjoy a luscious Ramadan preview.
The Buffet all set in consideration with the Arabic culture, the outdoors area had the appetizers all freshly prepared, hot and warm, the Turkish Ice cream server, Live performance, juice and the dessert counter. The spirit of Ramadan can be felt and perceive by the ambiance it has created, soothing and very gaudy.
To start with the Salads it was laid with the alluring decors, all in the traditional way and it was a luscious spread with pleasing and splendid form.
I tried my hands on the traditional sweet Luqaimat, a puffy sweet fried dumpling dipped in honey or syrup, is a firm favorite in our household during Ramadhan, crunchy on the outside and soft and airy in the middle, luqaimat are often dipped in honey or sugar syrup.
The small bites offered at our tables, were lusciously delectable and mouthful, i ended up having a lot of them.
The Cream Mushroom Soup, was my favorite, very thick, creamy and so generous mushroom minced. It was topped with crispy bread and lemons. Luscious and delectable.
I am not a fan of the Grilled Cold Shrimps, but this place totally change my taste buds, small bites of happiness. The meat all juicy, tender and delicious in my mouth, served with a tangy based chutney.
Our Kamaruddin server, Kamaruddin soak in water and then drain and add the sugar. A refreshing drink for the holy month of Ramadan.
The main course was the luscious spread from mouth watering Arabic delicacies and interactive cooking stations featuring slow-roasted lamb ouzi, warak enab etc.
Lamb Ouzi, , an Emirati cuisine, a whole Ouzi Braised Lamb on a Bed of Spiced Rice, so perfectly grilled with the spices infused till bones and laid on a bed of fill flavored rice with pine nuts, peanuts and raisins. The perfect way for a Iftar feasting at Sababa Lounge, Fairmont The Palm.
Warak Enab, juicy and tender lamb chops, some delicious feasting out here at Centro Sharjah.
Vine leaves, stuffed with meat and the perfect mingling of the flavorful ingredients.
Veg Lasagne, made by interleaving layers of pasta with layers of sauce, made with ricotta or mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, vegetables (e.g., spinach, zucchini, mushrooms) and typically flavored with wine, garlic, onion, and oregano. In all cases the lasagne are oven-baked. One of its kind, my hit of the show, cheesy and delicious.
These were the delicious Grill ever tasted, juicy and tender, it was happiness in my mouth.
I am always look out for Turkish Ice creams and at Sababa Tent they were delicious, typically includes the ingredients milk, sugar, salep, and mastic.
Two qualities distinguish Turkish ice cream, texture and resistance to melting, brought about by inclusion of the thickening agents salep, a flour made from the root of the Early Purple Orchid, and mastic, a resin that imparts chewiness.
The Desserts was a luscious spread from Baklava, Kunafa, Machbous, Puddings, Brownies etc.
Kunafah, Levantine cheese pastry soaked in sweet, sugar-based syrup. The pastry is heated in butter, margarine, palm oil, or traditionally semneh and then spread with soft white cheese, such as Nabulsi cheese, and topped with more pastry. crushed pistachios are sprinkled on top as a garnish.
Um Ali, this scrumptious dessert is a Middle Eastern version of bread pudding, Umm Ali uses freshly baked puff pastry for an extra level of deliciousness, topped with nuts and pistachios. One of the delicious Um Ali served.
The other desserts :
Turkish coffee is a method of preparing unfiltered coffee. Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are simmered in a pot (cezve), with sugar, and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. A sharp but refreshing coffee after a long day of fasting.

GMBLRS is now dot COM!
The transition is completed and as you may have immediately noticed, our domain ends now with .COM instead of CO.UK to reflect our global approach that will appeal to all players from around the world. Nothing else has changed during the upgrade, so don't worry, your screenshots, profile and other settings have all been transferred to the new domain.
This change has been in our longterm plans and we felt that now was the right time to get it done. Far too many casino brands have voted with their feet on the latest changes in UK regulations and we wanted to stay involved with these developments. Still, nothing to worry about as we kept all the old familiar UK casino sites, although in the future they will be separated into a dedicated list. Our flag icons on each casino brand will be a clear indication where you can play, no matter if you are from the UK, Germany or Sweden.
Why change? As mentioned above, an increasing number of casino brands have decided to leave the UK market and no new ones seem to be jumping into the void to replace them. On the other hand, new good and trustworthy sites are launched every month under a MGA Malta or other licenses and we have had loyal readers across Europe and beyond from the start of our GMBLRS community. The URL change will avoid confusion and inconsistent marketing material that might apply to just one or the other country.
Adapting to .COM in the future will allow us to have collaboration opportunities with a much wider range of casino brands and operators, which will be in the interest of our readers as it will allow us to launch more campaigns in the coming weeks as well as extend on our news articles that will now cover the larger geographical reach.
In the very short period since launch, GMBLRS has become already one of the top five casino gaming sites in the world thanks to our members and readers. To serve everyone equally, be it players from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Indonesia, Canada, Sweden or Norway to name just a few countries, it makes little sense to be tied to a country specific URL and thus we decided to initiate the transition to the .COM domain. We will endeavour to remain a top site for UK casino players but will create our future content with a more global appeal.
Stay tuned as over the coming weeks we will be bringing more updates and upgrades to the site as well as running exciting contests and raffles for our members and readers. And don't forget, you can already earn loyalty points by commenting and rating on our reviews for games and casinos, which you can then exchange for pure cash once you accumulated sufficient points. Plus, we have a new section called Daily Free Spins where every member can publish and share current offers for complete freebies or special deposit deals that will allow all our readers to enjoy the spoils.

Let's Play!,

All hail—then all flail—the conquering hero
It is fascinating to watch the process of the self-fulfilling prophecy. In one issue of Maclean's (January 10), Judith Timson begins a story on Justice Thomas Berger by describing a taxi-grabbing incident at Ottawa airport. The judge is recognized by a taxi occupant and after some conversation is warned, "Canadians always turn on their folk heroes." In the next issue, in a review by Barbara Amiel (Books, January 24), clomp comes the other shoe. Berger, alas, has "impeccable credentials" for the job and "great personal integrity," but did you know that before he was appointed to the Bench he was one of the country's leading native rights lawyers and a card-carrying member of the NDP? Gotcha! Another Canadian folk hero bites the dust.
Amiel seems disturbed that my book, The Past And Future Land, dwells on the community hearings of the Berger Inquiry. I make no apology for it because the community hearings were what made this inquiry refreshing and unique, a quantum leap from the pap turned up by other inquiries into bilingualism and biculturalism, the plight of women, poverty—ad nauseam. She even brings up that red herring of "southern" Canadians daring to write about the "north." When will we ever outgrow this one? Canada is the only country in the world with this curious reverse snobbery, as if there is some Mason-Dixon line along the 60th parallel, or is it from just north of Saskatoon, or the tree line? If the Berger Inquiry accomplishes one thing, let us hope that it convinces us that Canada is a northern country and that (sorry, Barbara Amiel) we all are northerners.
Judith Timson's Berger Of The North was one of the best pieces of reporting on northern development that I have ever read. Judge Berger has set a new standard for the holding of public inquiries in Canada. He has been fair, impartial, open and incredibly patient. But, as Timson so ably shows, the Judge is only one man, and he is in an impossible position. To some people he's a savior, to others a scapegoat.
In the North, we do not wrestle with problems of personality alone. We wrestle with principles and the facts of an incredibly harsh land. The Berger Inquiry has shown the psychic split that runs right through this nation—between civilization and the wild, between nature and nurture, between centralism and separatism, between traditional ways and modern technology, between development and conservation. This split reflects two different ways of looking at the world, and the search in the future must be a synthesis that cuts down the human cost of development.
All the Hughes that's fit to print
In your Newsmakers Of 1977 issue (January 10) you cited James Phelan's book, Howard Hughes: The Hidden Years, as being published by McGraw-Hill-Ryerson. Not so. It has just been published by Random House of Canada Limited.
Hell hath no fury, etc...
I feel that your presentation of your interview with me (January 24) is a perfect example of the media's sexist cheapening of important women's issues. Although my
work has been hailed in most major forums as a very important breakthrough in the study of women's sexuality, comparable to the breakthroughs by Kinsey and Masters and Johnson, you, in your introduction, label it "pop sexology." You then go on to state, "the author contends that women, generally speaking, get much more sexual satisfaction from masturbation than from intercourse." This is distinctly not what I have said, as a reading of my book or any of the accompanying press material would have told you. Then, even more sloppily, you go on to refer twice to my "survey" when just a few paragraphs later in the interview, I carefully explain that it is a study, not a survey.
The most blatant form of misrepresentation of my work, and of sex discrimination on your part, is to have edited the interview so that it started with the question, "Let's talk about your background. You were once a model, weren't you?" This was not the beginning of the interview and it implies a certain sexist bias on your part to have put it first. It implies that you can see me basically only in terms of my body.
I am deeply offended—both for myself and for all women.
For years I have been reading your articles and I was proud of Maclean's. Last week I .picked up your magazine on the table in the hall and just turned over a page or two. I was shocked to read about a woman (Interview, January 24) who must be out of her mind—a sex maniac. Your fine magazine has gone pornographic. Shame!

A small stop (backward) for womankind
While I find most of your articles well written, for the first time I feel obliged to comment. Shere Hite said that her aunt admitted to orgasm and Hite considers that a step forward. Does she get her jollies by discussing her aunt's sex life in public? And she gets a best seller from stuff like this?
An unhappy reader writes...
Your January 24 issue fails dismally in maintaining your stated objective of becoming "Canada's Newsmagazine." First you have three pages of lurid sex more suited to Playboy. Then two pages of columns by irresponsible journalists that are little short of disgusting. If Walter Stewart has to stoop to such vulgarity as "suckhole" while he proceeds to disparaging criticism of every appointment to the new Carter cabinet, he totally destroys any vestige of cordial relationship with our neighbors. To cap it all, you print a page of an interview with Ted Sorensen as director of the CIA, 10 days after his rejection and withdrawal from that appointment.
Not what he said, not what he does
Unfortunately, your reporter used my name in a quotation concerning earthquake risk in the San Francisco area in the story The Earth In Upheaval (January 10). The quote was taken out of context and included a statement he knew was facetious.
This incident is particularly regrettable in view of the delicate nature of the subject matter, and also because I had informed the reporter that I was not a seismologist and so did not wish to be quoted.
The Return of Frankenstein
The subject of genetic research has always raised the spectre of biological abominations, with dedicated but slightly batty and always fanatical scientists, shuffling around their laboratories, muttering to themselves and their bugs—mindless of the unspeakable danger to innocent townspeople (dedicated scientists never consider the danger to themselves). Many of these great figures are well known to us: Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone, Peter Lorre.
I have not yet succumbed to the hysteria that usually attends this issue. However, it does give me pause to read in Things Best Left Alone (December 27) that Dr. Mark Ptashne, with his facile, blatantly dishonest arguments directed at what he obviously regards as a witless public, is one of the chief advocates of recombinant DNA research. Incredibly he is quoted as saying, "You tell them that Harvard is building a $500,000 facility to do research that isn't any more dangerous than keeping a pet
cat, people don't believe you." Did he really make that ludicrous comparison? Hopefully, he is quite right and no one will believe him.
Man cannot afford to wait regarding DNA research. When I think of the countless numbers of lives that have been saved through open heart surgery, vaccine, transplants, bone grafts and chemotherapy, I know that it all seems worth it. Ten years ago people were shaking their heads in opposition—today these same people are being kept alive, made stronger and are standing in line to reap the benefits of such
discoveries, DNA experimentation must continue.
Strong language, mighty strong language
Once More Into The Booth? (January 10) quotes an unnamed aide of Premier William Davis saying that "the Premier is thoroughly disgusted with the way the Liberal leader [Stuart Smith] attacks programs to aid bilingualism at the federal and provincial levels, while simultaneously calling for Ontarians to show 'tolerance' to keep the country together." This is as mischievous a distortion of fact as I have read in a long time. It implies that
Smith, although fluently bilingual himself, opposes bilingualism per se. Utter nonsense. What Smith does oppose is the misapplication of the federal bilingualism program to adult civil servants instead of to children. In the case of Ontario he attacks the provincial government for failing to provide French services in a meaningful way for francophone Ontarians.
Yeh, well that's easy for her to say
I think it's just too, too mean of Barbara Amiel, blessed as she is with peerless intel-
lect, flawless beauty and exquisite tastes, to take a shot at "the horsey, horse-faced scions of royalty" (Books, January 10). Tut, tut, Miss Amiel, it is graceful for those of us who are perfect to cultivate compassion for souls less fortunate than we. After all, "There, but for the grace of God . . ." LEX LANDON, LYNDHURST, ONT.
There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy
Sunny, Cloudy, Unsettled (January 10) was ajoke. Your reporters suggested that many Manitobans dislike and distrust Progressive Conservative leader Sterling Lyon. What hogwash! In the last 14 months the membership in the PC party of Manitoba
has risen from 9,000 to 27,000 and is still climbing. Such would not be the case if Lyon was disliked and distrusted as your reporters suggest. They went on to state that Premier Schreyer is "still popular among farmers." Since when? In the last two elections the PC party has won more rural seats than the NDP or the Liberals combined. Lyon himself won a rural seat in a by-election last year by an overwhelming victory. Schreyer and his party have never captured an appreciable chunk of the farm vote at any time.
If force Is needed It won't be PLC force
In Suburban Guerrillas (Preview, December 27) it is stated that the Pacific Life Community helps people to learn how "to scuffle with the police." In addition, an unnamed "PLC convert" is quoted, by way of a conclusion, to the effect that "force will be needed."
Having had some extensive contact with the Pacific Life Community, we can agree that its members are militant, but, equally certainly, militantly nonviolent. This is a central part of their beliefs, a commitment to which they have adhered in the face of extreme provocation.
Shrug and shrug again
I was utterly floored to read your interview with our Prime Minister (January 10), wherein he states matter of factly that "we have to put an end to rising expectations," and, further, "to put an end to our love for our parents or old people in society, even our desire to give more for education and medical research." What the hell is happening to Canada when our leader tells us not to strive, not to desire, not to care? When a people's hopes and concerns are dissolved, what is left but meanness, commoriness and boredom with life? Life is concern, it is hoping, it is knowledge.
Honor? How dare Israel talk of honor!
You speak of dishonor to France in the Daoud Affair (January 24). North Americans and European news media display extraordinary hypocrisy and double standards in international ethics. No mention is made of the fact that Daoud was in Paris to attend the funeral of the Palestinian Mahmoud Saleh, murdered by Israeli agents while bringing down the shutters of his bookstore in Paris. Why has no one suggested that Interpol should issue orders to arrest the Israeli fighter pilot and his leaders (Golda Meier and her cabinet) who gave him the orders to shoot down in cold blood the Libyan airliner (February, 1973) killing 108 passengers including its entire French crew? Is it dishonorable for France to support, if such support exists, the cause of the Palestinians attempting to regain part of their own homeland from which they were evicted by Israeli terror?

Usher – Burn Review
Every 'Burn' by Usher review describes the song as the most compelling of all the slow burn love songs from him. The track is basically a breakup song, assumed to allude to the recording artist's real life, personal romantic issues.
Not only was this song a commercial success; it also earned him Grammy Award nominations specifically for R&B Song of the Year and Best R&B Male Vocal. The track hit the No. 1 spot in music charts in the US, in the UK, and in many other countries around the world.
The song was originally intended to be the lead single for the 2004 album 'Confessions.' However, it was pushed back following more favorable responses for the track 'Yeah!' Instead, this song was released as the CD's second single. But its potential for success remained undeterred.
As expected, the track was positively and warmly received by music critics from around the world. In 2009, the same track was ranked as No, 21 in the list of most successful tracks in the decade 2000 to 2009 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also bagged the Favorite Song award from the Kids' Choice Award in 2005.

Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto was flooded with memes about Kadenang Ginto when he announced that there would be no classes in his area of jurisdiction.
Vico used his Twitter account to announce the cancellation of classes in Pasig on July 17 due to Tropical Storm Falcon.
Two hours later, he posted another tweet asking his followers to explain why he has been receiving a lot of replies related to a certain Cassie.
Vico wrote this message with a laughing emoji:
"Sino po ba si Cassie at puro ganito ang reply niyo sa 'kin? Ano yun, lahat kayo may kapatid na Cassie ang pangalan? Someone explain this meme to me please para makatulog na ako."
It turns out that the Cassie being referred to is Cassie Mondragon, one of the lead characters in the ABS-CBN afternoon drama, Kadenang Ginto.
Cassie is portrayed by young actress Francine Diaz.
Vico received the link of a video of a young girl re-enacting a scene from Kadenang Ginto wherein Daniela (Dimples Romana) is seen forbidding Cassie (Francine Diaz) from going to school even though she has an exam. This explains why the line "Cassie, hindi ka muna papasok sa school" became so popular!
Followers of Vico also sent him a link showing a clip of the original Kadenang Ginto scene that aired in March 2019.
Other netizens teased Vico to watch other shows aside from Eat Bulaga!, which airs on GMA-7.
Vico is perceived to be loyal to the Kapuso network because of his father, Vic Sotto, one of the mainstays of the longest-running noontime show.
Eat Bulaga! is the rival program of ABS-CBN's It's Showtime. Kadenang Ginto is the TV show that airs right after It's Showtime.

It's been confirmed by Jackson Publick that the show is cancelled.The author behind a recent art book for The Venture Bros. is saying the show has been cancelled after nearly eight seasons. Ken Plume, author of Go Team Venture!: The Art and Making of The Venture Bros., recently responded to a viral Tweet asking the Internet to name their favorite shows that were cancelled unnecessarily with The Venture Bros., and now fans are wondering if that means the series has indeed been cancelled following the now in-production season eight. Especially because Ken Plume was directly involved with series creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer during the production of the art book.
Ken Plume responded to his Tweet later with "I have no further comment.," and thus further raised the mystery with fans. An official announcement for the series has yet to be made since the eighth season was announced to be in the works back in 2018, and there has been no official confirmation of cancellation.
Venture Bros cancelled.

Re: Venture Bros cancelled.
This is a bummer; 8 was going to be a finale anyway, & it was already previously greenlit (hence Publick & Hammer writing scripts). Shortly after this, though, Adult Swim hinted at some kind of future Venture content, so maybe they'll get a movie to wrap things up?
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Re: Venture Bros cancelled.
This sucks. Venture Bros. was one of the best examples of adult animation out there, and probably the best original program Adult Swim has ever produced.

Re: Venture Bros cancelled.
Yeah, I've enjoyed a lot of [AS] programming over the years, but Venture Bros. felt really special and unique, especially because with it sometimes taking years off at a time, it felt like it was always coming back because they had new, fresh ideas instead of just churning out episodes out of contractual obligations and to make money.

T-Mobile will give you a free Motorola Moto E6 if you add a new line of service
Get this T-Mobile Moto E6 deal HERE
T-Mobile's Moto E6 (pictured above) isn't different from the E6 that's available at Verizon. This means it's got a not-too-modern design, but at least its specs aren't too terrible. The handset runs Android 9 Pie, sports a 5.5-inch display with 720 x 1440 pixels, and is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor. Other features include splash resistance, a 13 MP rear camera, 16 GB of expandable storage space, and a 3000 mAh battery (according to Motorola, this battery should last "more than a day" on a single charge).
While the Moto E6 is not bad for a phone that can be had for free, T-Mobile has a few other handsets that are offered at no cost when you add a new line. Included here is the Motorola Moto G7 Power, which is superior to the E6 in pretty much every regard, so it's obviously a better choice.
The Motorola Moto E6 is also free at Metro by T-Mobile (T-Mobile's prepaid brand). However, in this case, you can get the smartphone for $0 only if you switch from another carrier.

Bannatyne Hybrid bag
Posted by Bob Browne on 19th Nov 2019
I recently purchased a Bannatyne Hybrid Bag in medium. It took a little muscle to install, but overall it was pretty simple and straightforward. The bag has a nice heft and solid feel to it. I'm very happy with it.
Great Bag
Posted by Unknown on 4th Mar 2019
Bannatyne hybrid bag w/ water trap. I'm a so-so piper been playing thirty plus year. This is by far, the best bag i've ever owned. Super airtight and a great shape and design. I would highly recommend it.
Why I like Bannatyne bags
Posted by Gordon Stewart on 21st Aug 2018
I have been playing Bannatyne pipe bags for probably 20 years now and believe them to be an excellent choice for most players, especially for those of us who don't have an unlimited income. They combine the low maintenance of a synthetic bag with the balance of a hide bag, and are easy to tie in. What I like best, however, is the moisture control system. For years, at the insistence of my pipe major, I used the Ross system, and I think Bannatyne's "bottle and absorbent cloth" system is superior in every way. It's simple, lightweight, doesn't take up valuable air volume in the bag, and controls moisture at least as well, if not better. Since I went back to it, I have had little or no problem with moisture anywhere except (of course) on the blowpipe itself. which can't be helped.
bass drone hole and chanter tie-in hole slightly off
Posted by Kevin on 10th Oct 2017
The bag works beautifully and the seals are very tight. The bass drone seems to be angled too far toward my head and when I rotate the bag to straighten it out the chanter rests at too sharp an angle off vertical. This may be just my preference or body build but it took some getting used to.
Good directions and video. Very easy to change over.
Overall I am very pleased with the performance of the bag so far. the drones strike in right away and there is absolutely no leakage.
great bag!
Posted by Derek Cerjanec on 11th Dec 2016
Very good quality and easy to install with directions provided. I was surprised how easy it was. The rubber collars are very tight.
Excellent new bag

Great new bag, easy changeover, immediately used upon reassembly with improved ease for playing.

Tracing and Digital Records
Family structures are now increasingly complex and it is easy to lose touch so before distributing estates it is essential that a full search for beneficiaries is undertaken.
Digital records are increasingly important. It is not uncommon for assets to drop out of sight and need to be located and found especially where records may be held on line.

The supportive role of wind turbines during frequency drops is still not clear enough, although there are many proposed algorithms. Most of the offered techniques make the wind turbine deviates from optimum power generation operation to special operation modes, to guarantee the availability of reasonable power support, when the system suffers frequency deviations. This paper summarizes the most dominant support algorithms and derives wind turbine power curves for each one. It also conducts a comparison from the point of view of wasted energy, with respect to optimum power generation. The authors insure the advantage of a frequency support algorithm, they previously presented, as it achieved lower amounts of wasted energy. This analysis is performed in two locations that are promising candidates for hosting wind farms in Egypt. Additionally, two different types of wind turbines from two different manufacturers are integrated. Matlab and Simulink are the implemented simulation environments.

Decentralized Exchange Token Jumps 40% In 7 Days
It was another week of no positive impact on the market as the bitter Crypto 'Winter' persevered its agony. The sudden decline of the market on February 24 after a good show two weeks back showed no sign of recovery.
Market Cap swayed between $129 billion to $130 throughout the week. On Monday it was in the $125 Billion regions.
At press time 20:00 GMT+2 on Tuesday, the total market value of the entire Crypto market was almost $132 billion. As matter of fact, an increment of nearly $6 billion from the previous day.
Even though there were six coins on top 10 that didn't post profits in the last seven days, the losses were not that significant. The highest decline was 2.75 per cent while the highest appreciation registered 39.79 per cent.
On the policy front, Thailand appears to inch closer to becoming a Crypto friendly realm. After it's National Legislative Assembly officially approving the issuance of tokenized securities on the blockchain a while ago, it has also updated its lists of cryptocurrencies that are suitable for use in Initial Coin offerings (ICO) naming cryptos like Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum Classic (ETC) and Litecoin (LTC).
TheMalaysian state of Penang is considering deploying Blockchain Technology in Agriculture and food chain supply. According to media reports, the country's Deputy Minister of Agriculture recently announced.
Seven giant oil and gas companies are working together to form an Oil and gas blockchain consortium. The firms include Exxon Mobile, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Spanish Repsol, Pioneer Natural Resources, Norwegian Equinor and Hess.
Top 10 Standings At 20:00 GMT+2 On Tuesday
Binance, who are currently testing theirDEX, a move seen as a big boost to moving from centralized to decentralized Exchange made the greatest impact this week on top 10. BNB grew 39.79 per cent to jump from the 10th to 8th position.

The 2nd highest growth rate came from 5th placed Litecoin that is becoming resilient in these tough times. Its weekly growth rate was 16.44% and the price stood at $52.95.
Moreover, EOS is still occupying the 4th rank increasing investors' holdings by 7.35 percentage point to sell at $3.70 . Bitcoin threw in the least pump for the week when it appreciated by 0.59 and sold at a price of $3879.13.
Meanwhile, Tron, now at the bottom of the elite ranks, led the losing pack when it posted negative 2.75 selling at $0.023626. Bitcoin Cash was the 2nd highest casualty with a price of $132.41 and a loss of 1.39 per cent but still at number six.

Alas! Ethereum couldn't sustain its recent upward adjustments when it gave away 0.31 per cent. Anyway, the pioneer of Smart Contracts' price of $137.07 is admirable.
Tether completed the depreciation list with a minimum slump for the week with -0.11 per cent. The stable coin could be purchased at a rate of $1.01.

Political Implications of the Cognitive Surplus
BY Luigi Montanez | Thursday, May 8 2008
A new meme is spreading around the Tubes, and it's a good one. Clay Shirky, part sociologist and part technologist, has coined the term "Cognitive Surplus". Shirky, the author of the must-read Here Comes Everybody, gave a talk the other week on the topic, and his own words best explain the concept:
The implications of this idea in the political arena are already becoming apparent. Uber-blogger Chris Bowers has been writing on OpenLeft on this very concept. Recent history proves Shirky's point: In 2003, Howard Dean supporters who rallied around the candidate's fierce opposition to the Iraq War used their Cognitive Surplus to organize themselves on Meetup.com, create (along with Clark supporters) the Netroots, and donate an unprecedented amount of dollars and volunteer hours. Between 2004 and 2006, many of those supporters turned to local politics, helping run the campaigns of down-ballot candidates, and in some cases, running for office themselves. And of course in 2007 and 2008, the campaigns of Barack Obama on the left and Ron Paul on the right have harnessed an untapped Cognitive Surplus to awaken the political consciousness of huge swaths of the citizenry.
The pattern is clear: More Americans are taking a proactive role in their politics, and social technologies are helping them do it. As Shirky talks about above, we are producing and sharing, not just consuming.
Since you're reading this blog, none of this is completely new to you. But the Washington establishment seems clueless to this growing trend. A recent Bloomberg News article, titled Obama's Gigantic Database May Make Him Party's Power Broker, illustrates how stuck in the last century the Beltway consulting class appears to be.
The article discusses the massive supporter list the Obama campaign has built for itself. To be sure, the list is unprecedented. The membership of My.BarackObama.com is pegged at an astonishing 800,000, which would translate into a broader email list of at least 8 million. But throughout the article, the Obama list is emphasized to be a mere vehicle for fundraising. An ATM machine.
McIntyre, a Republican and former chief national spokesman for the National Rifle Association, said the data entered by 800,000 names on mybarakobama.com[sic] may be worth as much as $200 million.
Even as Obama's interactive databases prove to be efficient ways to energize volunteers, their ability to raise large amounts of money may outlast the current campaign, said Tad Devine, an independent media consultant.
"That's really what we are talking about here," said Devine, a former strategist for Democrat John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid. "We are talking about a fundraising network that will far surpass the dominance that the Republicans held in the '80s and even in to the '90s."
No, that's not what we're talking about, actually. The citizen is no longer a mere consumer. What we're talking about is a social network (a real-world one) whose power is rooted in its ability to take action. Obama has built a network that knows how to knock on doors, make phone calls, drive people to the polls, and win elections. Via My.BarackObama.com, the campaign has an even better type of data than consumer data: producer data. The campaign knows who has set up groups and events, who's been making phone calls, who goes to other states to canvass, who's signed up for voter registration drives, etc.
Just as a four year old child expects all media to be interactive, the American people are beginning to expect politics to be hands-on. Civic duty is no longer confined to casting a ballot on Election Day, or cutting a check after receiving a piece of direct mail. Political activism is no longer the domain of a few die-hard (and kind of weird) party activists and political junkies. As the Obama campaign has proven, it's something within the grasp of all Americans, because with the help of social technologies political activism can now be on our own terms. Here comes everybody, indeed.

Apparently, most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles, according to the BBC at least (other observers suggest otherwise). One theory as to why this might be is that it is perhaps easier for people to get along if they don't always know what others are really feeling. But, I'd argue that society would become dysfunctional if most people couldn't spot most fakers.
Although a fake smile often looks the same in terms of an upturned mouth and sometimes exposure of the teeth, a fake and a genuine smile can be very different. To my eye, a fake smile looks awkward, embarrassed even, regardless of which muscles are being used. It's also in the eyes. If the eyes aren't "smiling" you can usually spot a faker.
The BBC had a nice psychological test, twenty clips of people smiling and you have to decide between genuine and fake. I'm not sure what it says about me that I got 17 out of 20. I've embedded an image of my results, if you wanted to go and do the test and then come back to see how we compared, you can see the results full size by clicking the thumbnail. It would be interesting to know whether others got the same ones wrong.
Scientists distinguish between fake and genuine smiles based on a coding system called the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), it was devised by Paul Ekman of the University of California and Wallace Friesen of the University of Kentucky, USA.
A genuine smile will usually be involuntary, make the mouth muscles move so that we see the familiar upturn, muscles will raise the cheeks, the orbicularis oculi and pars orbitalis contract, making the eyes crease up, and the eyebrows dip slightly. Of course, it's possible to learn how to emulate these muscular reactions, something actors and sales reps do on a daily basis; unless they're doing funeral scenes or selling coffins I suppose…

Fransburg –
Because his young passengers were upset, the driver of the school bus, 47, apparently became angry that he had stopped abruptly in an emergency. He injured a dozen children with him.
This is a case in point: the school bus drove between Velgast and Richtenberg (in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), when the bus driver spontaneously got to his feet.
Braking maneuver was for bus driver 'educational measure'
A police inspection of Stralsund in the message confirmed that it was a deliberate emergency braking. The reason: A 14-year-old boy is said to have been dragged into the school bus, the driver wanted to go through his "educational measures", as the police message calls it.
The 47-year-old man now has to answer for a suspected dangerous assault and not assisting, a criminal investigation has launched an investigation against him.
But that's not all: the bus driver is now threatened with a break, as reported by Nordkuyer on Wednesday.
READ HERE: Police control bus, discover adventurous belt design
As a result of the brakes, several children fell to their seats. The bus driver did not care for the injured person, but simply sent her to a school in Fransburg when the bus arrived.
Braking maneuvers in Fransburg: Twelve children are slightly injured
In total, at least 12 children between the ages of 10 and 13 are slightly injured. The children notified the school member on their own, and three were to be picked up early by their parents. (KVK)
