3 teams that can sign Chris Gayle in the IPL auction 2022
|
1. Lucknow
2. Royal Challenger Bangalore
3. Sun Risers Hyderabad or Chennai super kings
Image Source: Statesman
Gayle was retained by the season seven runners-up ahead of last year’s IPL auction after being purchased for his base price of 2 crores by Punjab Kings at the 2018 IPL auction. Gayle’s performance in the 2021 IPL was disappointing, as he only scored 193 runs in ten games for the Mohali-based club.
Even though analysts and fans believe Gayle will miss out on an IPL deal this season, a lower base price tag, along with the arrival of two new franchises, could net him a contract.
Lucknow
The following reason will justify the fact the Lucknow franchise will sign Chris gayle in the IPL Auction 2022.
It’s worth noting that during the 2018 IPL auction, the rising Pune giants showed little interest in signing him. As a result, his chances of being selected for the Ahmedabad team are low.
Gautam Gambhir has been named Team Mentor for the Lucknow IPL team. When he was playing for Punjab kings as a third hitter, he commented about Chris Gayle’s batting order.” He also said it makes no sense to have the big-hitting Jamaican batting at three and Gayle has to open the batting”, said Gambhir on Star Sports.
There is a good chance of picking him in the Lucknow team by Gautam Gambhir
Royal challengers Bangalore
RCB might pick him in the auction and he will play as an opener. Virat will play at number three positions.
He won many games for Royal Challengers Bangalore on his own in succeeding seasons (RCB). He hit 733 runs at a strike rate of 160 during the 2012 season. On April 23, 2013, Chris Gayle smashed the fastest century in IPL history and he astonished the T20 world with a 175-run knock against India’s Pune Warriors.
RCB feels confident in his ability to handle pressure, despite his age. They may choose Gayle on the team now that ABD is also retired from all formats.
Chennai Super Kings
As per Mr Srinivasan(Managing Director of India Cements). “Dhoni is the only selector for CSK.
Dhoni believes that age is just a number(“Old is Gold”). Rather than selecting inexperienced batters, he expressed an interest in selecting guys with extensive experience.
Two of the current squad’s 26 players, including captain MS Dhoni, are in their forties. Twelve of the players are in their 30s. The remaining 12 are in their twenties.
Dhoni might choose Chris Gayle to open the innings alongside Ruturaj. However, the chances of him being chosen are slim.
Recent update: Chris gayle name is not in IPL mega auction 2022.

How To Become A Smart IPL Fantasy Cricket Player?

How To Become A Smart IPL Fantasy Cricket Player?
Want to make it big in the IPL season’s fantasy daily league? Cricket enthusiasts have a great time with this virtual game wherein they can create their own fantasy playing XI and compete with teams of other gamers. Over the last few years, such Fantasy game Leagues have emerged as a part and parcel of cricket. Sport lovers make the most of fantasy cricket contests with their own IPL forecasts, season after season. Though fantasy cricket can be summed up as creating your own team based on the recent performance of players, there’s more to it.
Wondering how to play IPL fantasy league cricket smartly?
Check out the following ways to be a smart IPL fantasy cricket player and boost your fantasy points tally:
1. Choose players based on playing conditions: IPL is undoubtedly one of the biggest cricketing tournaments at a global level; needless to say, several big-ticket cricketers participate in the league. Players such as Eoin Morgan or Steve Smith may be playing excellently in their respective countries, but have slim chances of delivering well in India. Hence, you should always settle for players who have played well on Indian grounds. This is where your knowledge of cricket will come in handy. For example, someone like Suryakumar Yadav can prove to be a much more valuable addition to your fantasy league team as compared to a high-profile foreign player. Try to pick players who can give you important fantasy points in Indian conditions. Also note that some players also have preferences in terms of venues. For example, Rohit Sharma has always played well in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
2. Make a slow start: Every season will bring along some changes in the team combination, thanks to so many factors involved, including recent auction buys, the form/availability of players, and so on. Refrain from making too many changes in your Dream11 fantasy cricket team before the completion of the first one or two matches of a team. You will get good points from players only if you wait till the team lineups have stabilized and player roles and positions are defined. If you want to play fantasy cricket, know that the initial phase of an IPL season is quite uncertain. So, be cautious when an IPL season starts and let the teams stabilize and then get aggressive. Before 2/3rd of a season is over, don’t let your overall rank be a cause of concern. Focus on your strategy and don’t get carried away easily. Often gamers, in an attempt to lead the ranking tables, try to make as many transfers as possible in the first few games. Consequently, by mid-season, their transfer limit gets over, forcing them to either quit the game or rope in uncapped players as substitutes.
3. Use players with multiple skills to your benefit: Try roping in all-rounders, wicketkeeper-batsman as the Captain or Vice-Captain, as they can get you much more points than other players. However, this decision is not to be taken blindly. When selecting a captain and vice-captain, do consider their current form and see how well they are playing. Picking batsmen who play in the top 3 is almost always the right move, as they have a greater opportunity to spend time at the crease. The bowlers, on the other hand, should be picked in a way so that they can get wickets easily by bowling to lower-order batsmen. Note that with such bowlers, the batsmen also take more risks.
5. Uncapped transfers, if used wisely can be of huge benefit: Free uncapped transfers in a cricket fantasy league, if used wisely, can give you maximum returns with a specific transfer limit. However, an uncapped substitution should be made only once you know for sure that the player is in the playing XI for the match. This is because if the uncapped player spot in the final fantasy XI fails to deliver in 1 or 2 games, he can lose his spot easily. Every season of IPL T20 fantasy cricket league has its share of uncapped players who are available at a lower price. Make sure you grab such players, as they offer enough cushion to set team combinations right. This, in turn, facilitates getting other high-cost players in the team comfortably.
6. Keep track of the Latest news, Pitch, Weather, Toss Reports: An IPL season is quite long; needless to say, there are several unpredictable factors at play that can bring about ups and downs. Be it injuries or having to play for the national team, a player may need to miss a season, either partially or fully. One must be updated with the news and plan accordingly to make some profits out of Dream11 fantasy league. Also keep an eye out on the pitch report, which precedes the toss, as a pitch can be a make-or-break factor when it comes to the selection of fantasy players. Weather is yet another key consideration for the IPL T20 fantasy cricket league that must not be ignored. For example, a match might be reduced to 5 overs due to weather-related issues. Hence, making any transfers for such a match will go in vain. So, before making any transfers for a match, you should understand the weather forecast. Additionally, toss should also be taken into account since it not only gives a clear picture of the final XI, but also impacts the batting order. So, make sure you make player transfers, uncapped transfers, captain/vice-captain selection, and apply boosters only after the toss is over. However, all said and done, fantasy cricket games, just like any other sports, rely significantly on luck, and consequently, are pretty uncertain. On a particular match day of the IPL T20 fantasy cricket league, even if you adopt the best strategies and have all good players in your playing XI, they may perform badly. Once you take the plunge, it is best to accept things as they come and play with a relaxed mind. Overconfidence often makes way for taking undue risks, which can get highly risky.

10 Most Important Players to Create a Winning Fantasy Cricket Team on Dream11

10 Most Important Players to Create a Winning Fantasy Cricket Team on Dream11 Dream11 Dec 29, 2021·6 min read
Certain players just can’t be ignored while creating a Fantasy Cricket team on Dream11. These are players, who have had the most significant impact on the results of cricket matches they played. As a result, they end up becoming the most popular players among those who participate in Fantasy Cricket contests on Dream11. You should definitely not ignore these players for winning big while creating your team.
Top players for fantasy cricket team formation on Dream11:
1. Virat Kohli — Virat Kohli is easily the best batsman of the last decade across all formats. Although there has been a dip in his form of late, he can come back strongly any time, and that’s the reason he’s one of the most chosen players to create a Fantasy Cricket team on Dream11. Virat has a 50-plus average in all three formats: T20Is, ODIs, and test matches. Besides, he’s a proven match-winner. Arguably the best chaser in white-ball cricket, Virat seems to have many years of cricket left in him still. He’s also often picked as the captain by the players of Fantasy Cricket. This is due to his terrific win-loss ratio as the captain of the Indian cricket team. That said, he hasn’t really enjoyed a great win-loss ratio while leading Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), but he’s clearly seen as someone who has an immense capacity to lead.
2. K.L. Rahul — Another player who’s often picked as a part of Dream11 team selections is K.L. Rahul. Besides being an aggressive batsman, he’s also an opener. The openers get the maximum overs to play compared to players who bat lower in the order. That’s what makes them special in any lineup, including Fantasy Cricket teams where a wrong selection of an opener may end up reducing your probability of winning a contest. Rahul has emerged as one of the best opening batsmen in recent times. He has hammered runs like anything in the last few seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rahul scored 626, 670, and 593 runs in IPL 2021, IPL 2020, and IPL 2019, respectively. He’s performing really well, even as the opener of the Indian team. Recently, he scored a century against England at Lord’s in a test match. He’s certainly going through a purple patch, which makes him an ideal pick for Fantasy Cricket contests.
3. Ben Stokes — Stokes is not only the best all-rounder of the current crop of cricketers, but he’s also a proven match-winner. Without his contribution of 84 runs in the ODI World Cup 2019’s final, England would never have come that close to winning the match. He followed that up with a heroic innings of 135 against Australia in a test-match at Headingley, which helped England win the match by just one wicket. Apart from being a superb batsman, Stokes is also a capable bowler, which is why players love picking him while creating their Fantasy Cricket teams. In Fantasy Cricket, it’s very important to get the team combination right. A player like Stokes, who can bat and ball both, gives the right balance to the team. That’s why he’s one of the most chosen players for Fantasy Cricket lineups on Dream11.
4. Kane Williamson — Kane is the best captain across all formats at the moment. Under his captaincy, New Zealand won the World Test Championship (WTC) in 2021 and reached the finals of ICC T20 World Cup 2021 and ICC ODI World Cup 2019. Apart from that, he’s also one of the best batsmen playing at the moment. Kane has a batting average of around 54 runs in tests and 47.5 runs in ODIs. Until recently, it was felt that he wasn’t a great T20 batsman, but he has changed that perception, too. In the final of the ICC T20 World Cup, he scored 85 runs off just 48 deliveries against Australia, which shows that he can adapt his game to the requirements of the T20 format. People love to have him in their Fantasy Cricket teams not only as a batsman but also as a captain.
5. Babar Azam — When Babar plays well, it always seems that Pakistan is in control of the match. Babar is not only an elegant batsman but also a match-winner. His performance proved vital in Pakistan reaching the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup. No wonder he’s one of the most picked players for forming a Dream11 Fantasy Cricket team. Like Kohli, Babar has an astonishing record across all formats of cricket. He has a batting average of 46, 56.9, and 42.9 runs in T20I, ODIs, and test matches, respectively. Besides, he regularly opens the batting in the T20 format, making him a preferred player in a Dream11 lineup.
6. Josh Hazlewood — Among bowlers, Josh Hazlewood is one of the most picked players by those playing Dream11 contests. As per the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings, Hazlewood is currently ranked Number 2 in the ODI format, Number 6 in the T20I format, and Number 4 in Test . His accurate line and length often end up being a nightmare for batters, and he’s seen as a worthy successor of the Australian legend, Glenn McGrath. Until recently, Hazlewood was seen as a test bowler due to his tendency to stick to that off-stump line. However, in the last few months, he has shown tremendous ability to adapt to other formats as well. In the final match of the ICC T20 World Cup, he took 3 wickets for 16 runs in 4 overs against New Zealand. Those 3 wickets included the likes of Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, and Glenn Phillips.
7. Jasprit Bumrah — One of the best fast bowlers in the world at the moment, Bumrah often finds himself in the lineups of Fantasy Cricket teams on Dream11. Be it yorkers, slowers, cutters, or bouncers, Bumrah has shown that he has all sorts of variations to trouble batsmen. He’s had such an unprecedented run taking wickets that batters often become extremely defensive against him. But that only makes them take risks against other bowlers. Overall, Bumrah is an impact bowler. Starting as a T20 specialist, he was known for his death bowling. Soon, he became the pick of Indian bowlers across all formats. Bumrah has already taken more than 100 wickets in both ODIs and test matches in a short career span. No wonder that he’s the preferred bowler of many Fantasy Cricket players.
8. Trent Boult — Among the best fast bowlers playing today, Boult is effective in all formats of cricket. This left-arm quick bowler can move the ball both ways. He’s even effective on pitches that don’t support swing bowling much. Boult has taken 292 wickets in test-matches and 169 in ODIs. His bowling has significantly contributed to New Zealand’s success in the last 5–6 years. He’s currently ranked Number 1 ODI bowler by the ICC. Due to his ability to take wickets and win matches, Boult often features in Fantasy Cricket teams on Dream11. Although he’s successful in all conditions, he’s particularly effective when the pitch offers support for swing and seam bowling. In such conditions, he’s almost unplayable and can single-handedly win the match for his team.
9. Shakib Al Hasan — Easily among the best all-rounders playing at the moment, Shakib is often picked by players while forming their fantasy teams at Dream11. Hasan has repeatedly performed under pressure for Bangladesh both with bat and ball. Like Stokes, Shakib performs well in all formats of the sport. Be it ODIs, T20Is, or tests, he’s always willing to rise to the occasion and deliver the goods. As a left-handed batsman, Shakib is capable of playing aggressively, and as a left-arm spinner, he takes wickets at regular intervals to keep his team’s hopes alive. Shakib has become the first player from Bangladesh to score 2,000 runs and take 100 wickets in ODIs. He’s certainly one of the most valuable cricketers playing at the moment.
10. Wanindu Hasaranga de Silva — Currently ranked Number 1 T20 bowler by the ICC, Hasaranga is one of the most talented players to emerge from Sri Lanka in a while. Although he gained prominence as a leg-break bowler, Hasaranga can also be an aggressive batsman, which makes him an all-rounder, and that’s why Fantasy Cricket players love having him in their teams. He took a hat-trick against South Africa in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He’s the leading wicket-taker in the T20 format in 2021. Hasaranga is also effective in the ODI format, as he has taken 29 wickets in 29 ODI matches. Besides, he has a batting average of 23.7. Being a spinner with batting ability, Hasaranga can be really valuable in a Fantasy Cricket team.
While these are some of the most popular players on Dream11 contests, we’d advise you to use your own research and discretion while making a team. Read the pitch report and understand the playing conditions and then form your Dream11 team.

Big Match Temperament — A Lesson From Cricket
|
Cricket has been my favorite sport since time immemorial. It has taught me many lessons — good and bad, which have helped me a lot throughout my life. In this article, I will be sharing one such lesson — big match temperament, which I feel has much relevance in today’s fast-paced world.
Before I begin the article, a small note — This article in no way means to hurt any cricket team: be it a club or international.
What is Big Match Temperament?
Big Match Temperament or BMT is nothing but the ability to seize big moments, silence critics, turn away from inner doubt and win.
Since we are talking about cricket, let me tell you that there is nothing that compares to ICC tournaments in the world of cricket.
There is so much at stake and it can’t get any bigger than this.
In the world of cricket, ICC tournaments have been dominated by the Australian Cricket Team, affectionately called the Aussies.
They have won the ICC Cricket World Cup (50 Overs) 5 times — a feat which no other team has ever achieved. Even more recently, they won their first ICC T20 World Cup crown, a trophy that had been eluding them for long.
Why am I writing so much about the Aussies here?
Well, they are a perfect example of BMT. I always get the feeling that the hunger for winning ICC tournaments never stops for them and hence the reason they are so good.
The recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup, which Australia won, justifies my point.
I closely followed the Aussies' performance before the T20 World Cup and observed that they had lost their last 5 T20i series coming into the World Cup — a reason why many thought they didn't have a chance.
But they proved their critics wrong and how! BMT to the fore! They beat teams no one expected them to beat, won matches when everyone thought they were down and out and made the opposition pay for any small chance they missed — qualities of a champion team.
It was surprising, but at the same time — inspiring!
How To Be a Big Match Player?
In today’s fast-moving world, as a student or as a professional, you might come across assignments and projects, which you might need to complete in a very short period of time. There might also be challenging situations that can threaten to get out of control. This is where Big Match Temperament comes into play. Here are some steps for you to be a big match player:
1. Stay in the present
Whatever happens in the past or will happen in the future isn’t in your control. Do what you need to do now and the results will follow. After all, there is nothing more peaceful than understanding that you have given it your best shot. The result will take care of itself.
2. Focus
This is a critical step. Never take your eyes off the goal, even for a second. It is never as far as it seems!
3. Persevere
Work for it — good things will automatically follow. Perseverance starts much before the main event — you have got to start working early and that’s what distinguishes a champion from the others.
4. Attitude
Your attitude goes a long way in getting the desired result. Have a positive outlook and expect only the best to happen. What this does is that it helps you to give your best in achieving the result and even if you end up on the wrong side of the result, you know that you have given your best.
5. Will-power
You are in control of your actions — let those actions be for the best. Find yourself in a losing situation? Keep pushing. Take it to the end and win it for yourself/your team!
If you want an example for a big-match player, here’s one for you — Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
This man has led the Indian Cricket Team to 3 ICC trophies — 2007 ICC T20 World Cup, 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.
Not only that, as a batsman, he has bailed his team out of difficult situations so many times. As a captain, he was a brilliant tactician, going all out to get his team over the line in big tournaments.
Everyone can have a big match temperament and be a big match player. The only thing you need to do is to believe that you are one. If you are leading a team or an organization, you are the one who needs to help the team get past the finish line no matter what the situation and if you want to do that, first imagine yourself in that situation multiple times under different conditions, with you getting it done each and every time. After all, it’s all about the mindset — be it cricket or life. It is your choice whether you want to live small or live big by having the mindset of a big match player!

Root says England must find ‘inner belief’ after Ashes mauling — Eastern Eye
|

SKIPPER Joe Root said England must “front up” and somehow salvage some pride after surrendering the Ashes series in calamitous fashion on Tuesday (28), admitting Australia have outplayed them throughout.
By: Sattwik Biswal
Pat Cummins’ hosts ripped through the England batting to dismiss them for a paltry 68 and win the Melbourne third Test by an innings and 14 runs to retain the urn.
It followed a 275-run thrashing in Adelaide and a nine-wicket thumping in Brisbane, with two Tests in Sydney and Hobart left for England to save face.
“We have to make sure when we get our opportunities to get ahead we take them,” said Root, adding that England should have scored 250-plus in their first innings rather than slump to 185 all out.
“If we had we would have been very much in the game and we would have been looking at a very different game.
“But last night was an outstanding spell of bowling from their attack and you just have to find a way to get through it. Sometimes it has to just be an hour’s hard grind.”
A hostile spell from Australia in the last hour on Monday (27) effectively won them the match, reducing England to 31 for four, still 51 runs behind.
“We knew going into today we were more than capable of getting ourselves a score and it’s really disappointing that we didn’t manage to do that,” added Root, who must now lift his demoralised team for the fourth Test.
“We have to front up, make sure we stay focused, looking to improve all areas of our game individually and collectively, and we have to have a really strong inner belief to be able to come back,” he said.
“We need to put some pride back. We’re really disappointed to be 3–0 down with two Test matches to go. We have to try and make sure we come away from this tour with a couple of wins.”
Despite admitting they had been “completely outplayed” so far, Root did take heart from their Jimmy Anderson-led bowling effort that restricted Australia to 267 in their first innings, which he called their best day of the series so far.
“They have definitely outplayed us in the three games, we have not been good enough,” he said.
“I also think that the way we bowled yesterday was excellent as well. I’m really disappointed for the bowlers because they kept us in the game, we just have to keep looking to get better.”

Ranking Top 10 T20 cricketers of 2021
|
The year 2021 was fully packed with T20 matches and it was a thrilling treat for the fans after coming back from a dull cricketing year in 2020. The T20 matches all over the world were held back to back and each of them was as intense as the others.
The year witnessed some of the extreme T20 madness right from plenty of International T20 series, Indian Premier League, Pakistan Super League, Caribbean Premier League, and Big Bash to the most important event of this year — ICC T20 world cup.
This format is a highly demanding one and it is vital for a batter to not only hit runs but also to be aggressive. And for the bowlers, wickets are necessary but only along with bowling economical spells. A lot of players performed consistently this year helping their team win the games. Here we bring you the top 10 cricketers who were best in the shortest format of the game in 2021.
Here are the Top 10 T20 cricketers of 2021:
10. Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan is one of the best T20 bowlers the game has ever witnessed. The 23-year-old leggie made his T20I debut for Afghanistan in 2015 when he was just 17 years old and has been the flag bearer of the team since then. Rashid is currently ranked fifth in the ICC rankings amongst the bowlers in the shortest format of the game.
He has plenty of records to his name. Rashid was the youngest player to reach the top spot in ICC T20I bowlers’ rankings and he took the least time in reaching the 50 and 100 wickets mark in the format. Like the previous seasons, he has had a wonderful T20 season in 2021 too.
Rashid has played 8 T20Is this year and picked 14 wickets and has an outstanding economy rate of just 6.63. He was also the highest overseas wicket-taker in the IPL this season with 18 scalps. Being a much-demanded cricketer in this format, he has never failed to satisfy the teams he has played for.
9. Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel- the epitome of hard work, shattered many records in this year’s IPL. He has been featuring in the IPL since 2012 and has never been such a sensational bowler till this year arrived. Harshal represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore in this season.
Patel played a total of 15 IPL matches and picked 32 wickets which are the joint highest and the highest ever wickets taken by an Indian in an edition of the IPL. In considering his fame, he is from rags to riches now. These 32 wickets also include a four-wicket haul (hat trick) and a fifer.
The 31-year-old bowler was honored with the Purple cap, Gamechanger of the season, and most valuable player of the tournament in IPL 2021. His form in the IPL earned him his debut in the T20I format against New Zealand. He proved his worth in the blues too, by bowling a spell of 2/25 and was the man of the match in his debut.
8. Ruturaj Gaikwad

The sparkling star of the Indian Premier League was Ruturaj Gaikwad from the Chennai Super Kings. He made his debut in the 2020 IPL and scored consecutive fifties in the last three matches of the league. He was trusted and given the opening position in the team this year.
Ruturaj kept his promises and continued the form in IPL 2021 right from where he left in the previous season. He sealed his opening spot along with Faf du Plessis and gathered a plethora of runs for his team. He was awarded the orange cap in the tournament for scoring the most number of runs (635 runs in 16 matches).
The 24-year-old hit his maiden century in the IPL off just 60 deliveries and had a strike rate of 136.26 in the tournament. Ruturaj is also one of the retained players for CSK for the upcoming season. He also had a thunderous season in the domestic circuit as he hit hat-trick fifties in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament.
7. KL Rahul

KL Rahul, the flamboyant T20 player added this year too into one of his bests. His statistics in the IPL this year, have made him feature on this list. Even though Punjab Kings did not do well in the tournament, Rahul was the only never-dying star of the team.
The 29-year-old batter has been stacking over 600 runs in the IPL tournament for the past few years, and this year has been nothing different. He hit 626 runs and finished third on the orange cap list. In the International arena, his start to the year was bad with a poor streak of runs.
Apart from the first two matches in the T20 world cup, Rahul hit hat trick fifties after that in which he scored the second-fastest fifty by an Indian and the fastest of the tournament in just 18 deliveries. He closed his tally this year with 289 runs in 11 matches.
6. Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler, the English wicketkeeper has been ranked at six for his splendid form this year. He is always known for his aggressive approach to the game and his intent was clear throughout the year. His season started amazingly with a good band of scores.
The vice-captain of England had a special season as he scored his maiden century in the T20Is in WC. He was unstoppable throughout the year and scored 589 runs at an average of 65.44. He scored these runs at a brilliant strike rate of 143.30.
Buttler just played the first half of the IPL and had an extraordinary time scoring 254 runs in just seven matches. He also hit his maiden hundred in the IPL this year and went on to score 124 which is the 10th highest individual score in the tournament. Overall this year had started and now ended as one of the best in his career.
5. Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh would definitely feature on the list of surprise entries to the national team in 2021. He has been playing in the T20 Australian squad for 10 years now and did nothing special to retain his spot in the XI and hence was on and off from the team.
However, this year Marsh was exceptional. He was promoted up the order and batted at number three after Australia demoted their constant №3 batter, Steve Smith. This one change transformed the fortunes for Marsh and the team. He bowled 20 overs and picked 8 wickets at an economy rate of 7.35.
In the course of the year 2021, he played a total of 21 matches and piled up 5 half-centuries. He averaged 36.88 and hit 627 runs this year. His heroics of 77* off 50 deliveries in the T20 world cup final against New Zealand aided the team to lift their maiden T20 WC title.
4. Tabraiz Shamsi

The rare commodity of the chinaman bowling — Tabraiz Shamsi was a sensation this year in the T20s. He has been a consistent performer in the leagues all over the world and is a much-demanded cricketer in this format. He played 22 T20Is this year and was also ranked the №1 bowler in T20Is in 2021.
The Proteas bowler picked up 36 wickets in those 22 games at an amazing average of 13.3. He had two four-wicket hauls during this period. Shamsi was picked in the toughest cricketing league of IPL by the Rajasthan Royals, but he couldn’t do much as he just played one game for them.
The 31-year-old bowler has created an impact wherever he has played. He is also the joint highest wicket-taker in T20Is this year along with Wanindu Hasaranga. But, Hasaranga has occupied the second position as he has played two lesser innings and was good with the bat too, and Shamsi is ranked fourth on this list since he has played 22 innings this year.
3. Babar Azam

Babar Azam under his captaincy has shown to the world Pakistan’s new brand of cricket. This year for him and for the team is an indelible one. He excelled both as a batter and skipper in this format and was consistent throughout the year.
Babar was very confident with the bat right from the start of this year when he scored his maiden century and his highest score of 122 came against South Africa in April. He continued this form throughout and was the highest run-getter of the Pakistan Super League with 554 runs in just 11 matches.
After playing a huge number of 29 T20Is this year, he managed to score 939 runs with a strike rate of 127.58. The Lahore-born cricketer guided the team unbeaten till the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup and was the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 303 runs. He is currently the top batter in the ICC T20I rankings.
2. Wanindu Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka features second on this list owing to his explicit performance in T20 cricket with the ball this year. He is now placed at the top of ICC T20I rankings with 797 ratings. Hasaranga troubled almost all the batters with his beautiful variations in wrist spin.
The 24-year-old debuted in this format for Sri Lanka in 2019 and has emerged as the best in the world in just two years. He features predominantly on this list for his highest ever wickets taken to record in a calendar year.
On playing 20 T20I matches, he took 36 wickets with an economy of just 5.44. Hasaranga was the highest wicket-taker in the T20 world cup. He was effective in the ball both economy-wise and in the wickets he plundered. With the bat, he accumulated 196 runs in 16 innings with a strike rate of 120.98 and hit his maiden fifty this year.
1. Mohammad Rizwan

This year has turned out to be a memorable one for the wicket-keeper batter of Pakistan Mohammad Rizwan. He has been a part of the T20I side since 2015, and even if we add his runs in all the years together, his career runs are just less than a quarter of that he scored in 2021.
Rizwan played a total of 29 T20I matches and stupendously averaged 73.66 which is an unbelievable achievement for this format. He is the highest run-scorer ever in the T20 internationals in a calendar year with 1326 runs which includes 12 fifties and a century.
The other batters are nowhere near him and this would probably take years for the others to break this record. His strike rate of 134.89 was impressive as he had 134.89 throughout this year. Rizwan’s record in the leagues such as the Pakistan Super League was also amazing as he was the second-highest run-getter with 470 runs in 11 matches.

Why I love cricket
|
If you think that cricket is boring, then don’t worry, because you are in the majority I assure you. I’m one of those weirdos that really like cricket, in fact I’d go as far to say that I love it. When I tell people this, the most common response is usually “Why?!?”. In this post, I will answer this for all of you who are wondering.
Firstly, I don’t think there are many better things in life than spending the day outside in good weather with great people. The cricket itself is more the supporting cast, rather than the main star. I think back to the times when I have enjoyed playing cricket the most, and they all have one thing in common — my teammates weren’t just teammates, they were actual mates.
Secondly, are the memories on the field that cricket produces. This is not something that is just unique to cricket but is true of all sport; when you think back to those times that just put a smile on your face because in that moment the only emotion running through your body was euphoria. However, I do think that cricket has more of these moments than other sports. I look back fondly on occasions such as bowling the opposition out for 45 in the under 11's cup final only to be bowled out for 40 ourselves, taking 4 wickets on my first team debut when I was 16, or batting out 27 overs for the ninth wicket to secure a draw.
Finally, batting and bowling are really really fun. Batting I’m sure you can understand, who doesn’t love trying to hit a ball as hard as they can (although there is of course more to cricket than just this). Bowling is more of an art, watching a ball bounce and move off the pitch whilst the batter struggles to get their bat anywhere close to the ball is beauty in its own right, and explains why millions of people have watched videos of some of the greatest balls ever bowled.
I don’t expect you to be a cricket convert now, but I hope you might now understand why some people enjoy spending their entire weekend standing in a field wearing white clothing.

Irfan Pathan and his wife Safa welcome their second son
|
Irfan Pathan, a former Indian allrounder, has become a parent for the second time, he announced on social media on Tuesday. In February 2016, Irfan married Safa Baig in Mecca.
In February 2016, Irfan married Safa Baig in Mecca, and the couple welcomed their first child, Imran Khan Pathan, in December of that year.
Pathan began his career as a fast-medium swing and seam bowler and came into the national team soon after turning 19. His promising performances and tremendous swing drew similarities to Pakistan’s Wasim Akram.
Irfan Pathan posted via his Twitter handle on Tuesday
“Safa and me welcome our baby boy SULEIMAN KHAN. Both baby and mother are fine and healthy,” #Blessings
Pathan’s batting continued to be fruitful, but he was no longer considered a specialist. And was dropped from the team in both Tests and ODIs by the end of 2006. And he was no longer in the squad by 2007, when he returned in the 2007 World T20.
After solidifying his place in the team, he was named the 2004 Emerging Player of the Year by the International Cricket Council. Pathan played a key role in India’s victories in the One-Day International and Test series against Pakistan in 2004.
Irfan Pathan became the only bowler to take a Test hat-trick in the first over of a match in early 2006 (vs Pakistan at Karachi)

However, towards the start of 2006, he began to lose pace and swing, and his wicket-taking powers began to wane.
He was dubbed the “blue-eyed boy” of Indian cricket by the media. He got 18 wickets in two Tests against Bangladesh in late 2004. But he struggled in the early part of 2005, conceding runs at an alarming rate. Leading to a brief banishment from the one-day international (ODI) team.
After Virender Sehwag’s sickness, Pathan developed his batting skills. And tried to become a bowling all-rounder, and he opened the batting on multiple occasions. Scoring 93 in a Test match (10 Dec 2005, versus Sri Lanka in Delhi).
In four Test innings against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, he made three scores of more than 80. In addition, Pathan was a standout batsman and bowler. For the first nine months of Chappell’s tenure as coach, accumulating runs regularly and regularly getting top-order wickets.
Moreover, he was ranked №2 in the ICC’s ODI all-rounder rankings and in addition, was in the top five in the Test rankings. Critics compared him to former Indian fast bowling allrounder Kapil Dev as a result of this.

How To Prevent Hair Loss Naturally With The Power Of Onions
|
So many of us have a hard time growing our hair to the desired length and it being healthy when we do. And onion oil works well for that! You know how difficult this process can be, especially if you’re constantly worried about going bald from all those lost strands with each brush-stroke on your head? Onion-infused oils may help alleviate these problems by keeping new cells alive longer while also nourishing older ones in order to keep locks looking great.
Perfect, healthy hair is a dream for many people. But the journey to achieving it can be filled with obstacles like frizziness and thinning from different causes such as pollution or even water quality in which you wash your locks.
There are many ways to reverse or prevent these issues, both topical and otherwise. One of these solutions is the application of onion oil on the hair. Onions are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B9, vitamin B6, potassium, and many more, all of which can be associated with hair health. They provide stronger roots and thus promote hair growth, which leaves your hair looking its very best. Not just this, but applying the oil extracted from onions on your hair regularly can have anti-inflammatory, fungicidal and anti-bacterial effects on your scalp.
In many cultures throughout history, onions have been used to restore beauty. The juice of an onion is rich in sulfur and amino acids which help with strong healthy hair growth. Onion hair oil for hair growth can be applied topically for a number of benefits including more shine while also protecting against harmful rays from sunshine exposure.
It promotes collagen production, which is responsible for skin and hair rejuvenation, boosts blood circulation and helps in maintaining the overall health of hair follicles.
Benefits of Using Onion Hair Oil for Hair Re-Growth and Hair Fall Control
Enhances Hair Growth
Onions are known for their high dietary sulfur content, which is important in our bodies. The most common type of sulfur found among onions is a keratin-a protein that has been shown to help stimulate hair growth on your head. When you apply onion hair oil for hair onto the skin around your scalp and leave it there overnight or for longer periods of time. It will provide this vital nutrient directly where it’s needed — right down inside those cells atop Your Hair follicles.
Avoid Hair Breakage & Thinning
The previously-mentioned sulfur also has other benefits to offer. The sulfur from the onion oil initiates collagen production and forms bonds in the hair which does wonders for improving the overall strengthening of the hair strands. This in turn prevents breakage and thinning of the hair, which leaves you with a thick and luscious mane.
Onion Oil As A Natural Conditioner
Did you know that a conditioner before washing your hair can prevent the shampoo from stripping its moisture? These benefits dry or frizzy locks provide relief for irritated scalps and help with growth. The regular massage of onion oil over our heads will help further moisturize strands while removing any unwanted tangles — all without leaving behind an oily residue.
May Prevents Premature Greying
It’s possible that your hair might be turning grey because of nutritional deficiencies, stress, or medical conditions. Onion oil contains essential vitamins and minerals to help combat the greying process as well! It also has an enzyme called catalase which can activate automatically upon contact with any onion ingredient on the skin surface; this will turn dark colors back into their original color.
May Treat Dandruff Problems
Dandruff is not only an embarrassing issue but also quite common. Having dandruff in the hair can lead to unhealthy and damaged locks of your mane that could make you lose more strands every day. Onion hair oil for dandruff has many antibacterial properties which help fight against bacteria on skin cells so it’s much better for soothing irritated scalps as well as strengthening healthy follicles. Strong anti-inflammatory agent also helps in strengthening your hair and adds more volume to it.
Helps In Balancing The pH Level Of Hair
Did you know that your hair is slightly acidic in nature? While seven is the neutral value on the pH scale, anything below that is acidic and anything above it is alkaline in nature. The pH of your scalp should ideally be around 5.5, and that of your hair should be around 3.5. The usage of certain products or treatments can mess with the pH of the hair and cause it to be much higher, leaning on the alkaline side. Applying onion oil on your scalp and hair can help naturally maintain the pH levels, which leads you to have a nourished and balanced scalp.
Can Onion Oil Help With Baldness?
There is no doubt that onion oil for hair can be greatly beneficial. It has been used as a spice in cooking and an ingredient to prepare medicines, but what about its benefits on your scalp? The answer may surprise you — Onion belongs to the Allium species and is one of the oldest cultivated vegetables in the world.
The smell and flavor of an onion comes from the natural sulfur compounds that are found in all the vegetables.
Sulfur is the key ingredient found in Keratin. It is the third most abundant mineral found in the human body after calcium and phosphorus.
Having a sulfur-rich diet helps in Keratin synthesis that is crucial for hair growth. On the other hand, lack of sulfur makes hair dry and brittle which leads to hair fall.
Therefore, the benefits of onion oil for hair growth and curing baldness are immense. Regular use of onion oil on the scalp prevents hair breakage and split ends and makes hair stronger.
People who are suffering from the initial stages of baldness may incorporate onion oil in their daily hair care routine.

Don’t apply too much pressure and make sure you really get the oil into the scalp. You can wash your hair after two to three hours with mild hair fall control shampoo.
If you want to use the hot oil treatment, mix the onion oil for hair fall with carrier oil like almond or olive and heat it up to a lukewarm temperature. Apply this mixture on the scalp and along the length of your hair. It is best to leave this on your hair overnight and wash your hair in the morning.

Use Onion For Hair Growth?
|
Treating hair damage with onion water or juice may probably be the last thing in your mind. Imagine applying and leaving onion juice on your hair. Some possibly cannot even stand the thought of applying it on their hair, let alone leaving it on for minutes or hours. However, did you know that using onion water for hair has proven benefits? You will be surprised to learn that onions have properties that help with overall hair health. Onions have been used for hair care for ages already! Now, how does onion juice help in treating hair damage? It will help to know the different types of hair damage and their causes to treat them with onion water properly.
Three Main Types of Hair Damage
Hair Cuticle Damage
The hair cuticle is the outer surface of the hair shaft that gives protection to the inner layers of the hair. When the hair cuticle is damaged, it opens up, resulting in rough, dull, dry, frizzy, easily tangled, and brittle. This happens when the hair is exposed to too much heat, UV rays, friction, and high PH hair products.
Hair Cortex Damage
The hair cortex is the middle layer of the hair shaft. It is responsible for hair strength, color, and pattern. When the hair cortex suffers from damage, the hair weakens and becomes brittle. Eventually, it leads to hair breakage and splitting. Moreover, when the cortex is exposed, it becomes prone to water damage. Usually, this hair damage type is caused by chemicals from hair color, straighteners, and perms, and heat styling.
Hair Follicle Damage
Hair follicles are small holes inside our skin. These pocket-like bulbs help with hair growth. Thus, there are episodes of hair thinning and hair loss when the hair follicle is impaired. Experiencing patchy and slow hair growth may also signify a damaged hair follicle. The main culprit for this hair damage is excessive combing and brushing, product build-up, extensions, and chemical treatments.
Knowing the three significant types of hair damage gives you a deeper understanding of your hair problems and guides you to the proper treatment. Trying to treat your hair problem with an inappropriate treatment may worsen your hair issue. Furthermore, being knowledgeable about the types of hair damages enables you to avoid them first and foremost.
6 Signs of Hair Damage
How do you know when you suffer from any of these? Try to check for the following signs.
Split Ends
Split ends happen when the end of a hair strand splits into two or numerous parts. This is the most common hair problem and is considered to be a sensitive hair issue since when the hair strand splits, the splitting may go all the way up to the root. It also will cause more tangles and breakages eventually.
Dull and Dry Hair
You will notice this hair issue when you try to run your fingers up and down your hair, and it feels rough and sticking out. You may also see that it’s not shiny, lacking smoothness and moisture. Moreover, even after deep conditioning, your hair still appears dry and dull.
Hair Loss
Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. However, experiencing more than this or suffering from patches and baldness shows that there might be a hair loss problem. Find out if this may be caused by your hair management ways and treatment or a deeper underlying health condition already.
Excessive Hair Breakage
Noticing unusual hair breakage when you run your fingers or comb through your hair is another sign. As previously mentioned, it is usual to shred hair daily, but if you see varying lengths of strands that look and feel dry and brittle, you are probably experiencing hair breakage.
Lacking Elasticity
The hair usually is flexible. If you try to stretch it and it breaks easily, it lacks a necessary amount of moisture, showing a possible hair problem. Lacking elasticity makes the hair difficult to style and manage, resulting in breakages.
Easily Tangled Hair
Experiencing knots forming when your hair strands wrap around each other is a hair tangling problem. Cuticles that are damaged and open intertwine with each other and form knots or tangles. Healthy hair is not prone to tangles since it is silky or smooth. Therefore, when you are experiencing hair tangles, your hair may be dry and damaged.
Treating Hair Damage with Onion Juice
Using onion juice is a proven remedy to help with hair damage repair. Various studies show that applying onion juice on hair promotes hair growth, renews dry and dull hair, and helps treat dandruff issues that are causing hair loss.
Preventing Hair Loss
A study conducted in 2018 and published in the “Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics” shows the effectiveness of using onions on hair. The researchers mixed onions with coconut, castor, eucalyptus oils, and cleansers to make a shampoo. Upon testing, they found out that the shampoo deeply nourished the hair follicles. This extensively promoted hair growth and even provided moisture for the hair and scalp.
Onions contain a high amount of sulfur, which is needed for growing strong hair. In addition to that, this property actually encourages the formation of keratin, a kind of protein that is highly essential in hair growth. Onions also carry collagen, another compound known to promote hair growth and even skin health. Moreover, they boost blood circulation in the scalp. This increases blood supply in the hair follicles that ultimately improve hair growth.
Using onion juice on hair strengthens the hair follicles and strands, avoiding further hair breakage and loss and encouraging hair growth. However, it is essential to note that onion juice is not a cure for severe hair loss cases like alopecia and baldness. In these cases, it may only help prevent further hair loss damage.
Revitalizing Damaged Hair
Harsh chemicals from treatments, heat from styling tools, and improper mechanical handling of hair like excessive brushing and combing can damage the hair. These things may cause the hair to lose its moisture, eventually resulting in dry, frizzy, and brittle hair. Even regular use of shampoo with harsh properties may remove the moisture from the hair. One easy home remedy for this is to use onion juice or oil. The antioxidant properties of onions can deeply hydrate and nourish your hair, combatting the dryness and frizziness and bringing back the luster that will make your hair look shiny and healthy again. As a bonus, the antioxidants help prevent the early greying of hair as well.
Treating Dandruff
Although dandruff is primarily a scalp problem, it may also cause hair problems, especially hair loss. People with severe dandruff conditions tend to scratch their scalp so hard that it causes damage to hair follicles. Damaged hair follicles result in slow hair growth or hair loss since these are where the hairs take root and grow.
At times, dandruff is caused by a fungus called Malassezia furfur. This fungus is usually present on the scalp and skin. However, some people have a sensitive scalp and skin that produces this fungus faster than usual, resulting in a case of dandruff. The antibacterial content of onions helps soothe the itchiness and fights the bacteria that cause dandruff.
Onion Juice Recipes for Your Hair + Applications
Given the attractive benefits of onion juice for the hair, you may now want to try using it on your mane. Therefore, I gathered some tested onion juice recipes for specific uses.
Onion Juice for Hair Growth and Dandruff Treatment
1. chop one or more onions into chunks depending on your hair length.
2. Grind them using a blender.
3. Filter out the onions using a muslin cloth.
4. Massage your scalp with the juice using circular movements. You may leave it on for at least 30 minutes for better results.
5. Rinse it off with cool water and a fragrant shampoo to rid it of the strong smell.
Do this once a month for two months.
Onion Juice and Honey Hair Mask for Dry and Dull Hair
1. Prepare two tablespoons of onion juice.
2. Add one tablespoon of honey and mix well.
3. Scoop out a thin layer of the mask and apply it to your scalp and hair.
4. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes. You may use a shower cap and leave the mask on overnight.
5. Rinse it off with a gentle shampoo, conditioner, and serum.
Do this once a week or twice a month.
Onion Juice and Olive Oil Hair Mask for Hair Strength and Healthy Scalp
1. Prepare 4 to 5 tablespoons of onion juice.
2. Add two tablespoons of olive oil and mix well.
3. Massage the mixture on the scalp and hair in circular motions.

2. Add two tablespoons of yogurt and mix well.
3. Apply on the scalp and hair.
4. Leave it on for 30 to forty 40 minutes
5. Rinse off with shampoo and conditioner.

2. Whisk the onion juice with the egg until a smooth mixture.

Onion Hair Oil for Hair Growth
1. Grind a few onions until the mixture turns into a paste.
2. Place the onion paste into a saucepan.
3. Pour in some onion juice and coconut oil. Then, stir everything together.
4. Turn on the burner and bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Upon boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer while stirring continuously until the oil separates from the mixture.
6. Turn the heat off, and let it cool for a few hours.
7. Filter the oil through a muslin cloth.
8. When cool, pour a few drops onto your palm and massage them onto your scalp and hair in circular motions for 20 to 30 minutes.
9. Leave it on for 3 to 4 hours.
10. Rinse with a mild shampoo and cool water.
What kind of onion to use for your hair?
Both red and white onions have their benefits. Red onions are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids. On the other hand, white onions contain more sulfur than red ones. Given this, it will be best to use both if you are achieving an overall effect. However, if you want to focus on hair growth, you may use white onions. The red onions are best for treating dandruff and dry hair.
A Few Reminders
If you are usually allergic to onions, you definitely should not try using onion juice. If you are not, go ahead, but you may also want to test first a bit on your scalp and see how it will react, especially if you have a sensitive one. As a tip, adding oils and other ingredients like honey may help soothe the strong reaction of onion.
Why use Onion Juice?
They say that “the hair is a woman’s crowning glory.” And we all know this to be true. Healthy and shiny hair always makes a woman look beautiful and radiant. However, looking good with our hair involves lots of hair-damaging styling and coloring nowadays. These things, including improper personal hair management, may cause a lot of damage to our hair when done wrongly and excessively. Using onion juice is one of the best home remedies to help you repair or combat hair damages. Its natural properties effectively promote hair strength and growth and reinvigorate the scalp and hair, making it strong, shiny, and beautiful.

Tips For Better Abdominal Health: Vijaya, Ayurveda & More
|
Abdominal health is the cornerstone of the body to function optimally since the abdomen is the region that contains the body’s digestive organs. And today, a vast majority of digestive issues and abdominal health conditions are because of improper habits and accumulation and rotting of undigested food, causing conditions like
Diarrhea
Constipation
Ulcers
IBS, IBD, etc.
To improve your abdominal health and prevent such issues, Ayurveda doctors recommend certain dietary and lifestyle changes along with the consumption of the potent herb Vijaya.
Because Vijaya shows robust anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that help in effectively alleviating digestive disorders and their symptoms in patients and improving their overall quality of life.
Some tips for better abdominal health are as follows:
Eat Fresh Foods
Ayurveda doctors recommend including more fresh veggies and fruits in your diet. They provide the body with the necessary nutrients to improve gut health and digestion.
There are some carbohydrates that the body cannot digest and absorb easily. And undigested carbohydrates, when rotten, can cause excessive bacterial growth, abdominal pain, and gas. Adopting a low-FODMAP diet and getting the best medical consultation to know which foods will suit you the best help manage digestive issues.
Avoid Processed Foods
Processed foods are rich in:
Artificial sweeteners
Food additives
Refined carbohydrates
Trans fats
They can cause much damage to the digestive tract by producing harmful chemicals. Hence replacing them with whole foods (whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables) instead enhances digestive health.
Furthermore, reduce consumption of fatty foods, dairy products with high-fat foods like butter and cheese, and white foods such as rice, potatoes, and white bread. These foods slow down the digestive processes.
Add More Fiber to Your Diet
Choosing whole grains over processed ones and opting for more fruits, veggies, and legumes can help you significantly improve your abdominal health. Fibers help keep the food moving through the digestive tract and alleviate conditions like constipation, diarrhea, ulcers, and IBS.
It is crucial to consume both kinds of fibers, insoluble (roughage) and soluble. The former adds bulk to the stools, and the latter absorbs water to prevent watery stools.
Consume More Pre and Probiotics
Probiotics are yeasts and healthy bacteria in the digestive tract that help combat the symptoms of stress, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, and even IBS pain in people. Fermented foods are good probiotic sources that help with better nutrient digestion and absorption, like kefir, kimchee, low-fat yogurt, fermented vegetables, etc.
And prebiotics are the compounds in foods that aid the growth of these healthy gut bacteria. Some common prebiotic sources include whole grains, raw fruits, and veggies, legumes, etc.
Check Your Medications and Choose Vijaya
There are numerous prescription drugs, antibiotics, and OTC medicines for digestive issues that interfere with gut bacteria, cause harmful side effects to the system and worsen the conditions. Hence, it is best to talk to your doctors, get the best medical consultation.
Choose suitable alternatives such as Vijaya, which can help relieve several digestive problems. There is a reason why, for centuries, this herb has been used medicinally to treat digestive disorders. When people consume Vijaya, it goes into the system and binds with the cannabinoid receptors in the gut.
By doing so it activates those receptors which in turn helps enhance food intake and improve digestion. Furthermore, Vijaya significantly reduces acid secretion that is caused by increased junk food consumption today.
Not only that, because of its direct influence on the digestive system, Vijaya is very helpful in managing disorders like IBS, IBD, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, etc. Patients report significant decreases in their symptoms such as abdominal pain and daily bowel movements.
Besides that, Vijaya also reduces people’s dependence on traditional prescription drugs, especially harmful and addictive opioids. What makes this herb even better is that it exhibits all these health benefits without showing any adverse side effects on health that are shown by conventional medications.
Adopt the Right Eating Habits
To improve abdominal health, it is crucial to eat the right foods the right way by adopting the following habits:
Have a fixed, regular schedule for meals to keep the digestive system healthy.
Replace frying and grilling with healthier cooking methods like steaming, stewing, microwaving, boiling, etc.
Have a sufficient gap between meals and sleep to aid digestion.
Avoid excess sweet, salty, and spicy foods.
Avoid consuming spoilt foods.
Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming caffeinated beverages.
Don’t eat too much too quickly.
Eat the amounts your body needs, not what the taste-buds desire.
Eat slowly and chew the food properly instead of gulping. It helps properly break down the food, produce enough saliva for digestion, and digest and absorb the nutrients better.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking sufficient water is crucial for good digestive health. It helps the body break down the food and absorb the nutrients better. It further softens the stool and allows it to pass more easily through the colon, hence alleviating the chances of constipation.
Reduce Stress
Annoying deadlines and hectic workflows have caused a lot of stress in people, which has impacted digestion and caused various abdominal issues in people. Stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, exercise, good sleep, creative hobbies, etc., go a long way in coping with stress and keeping the abdomen healthy.
Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise helps the food move properly in the digestive tract, reduce constipation, reduce excess weight, alleviate stress, and keep you active. Hence ensure including regular exercise in your schedule after a healthy meal.
Get Sufficient Sleep
Lack of sleep can disturb the hormonal balance, causing stress and affecting your dietary choices and appetite. When tired, you might resort to fast foods to get immediate energy boosts and cause long-term damage to the system. Hence, it is important to get at least 7 hours or more sleep in a day.

Index Real Life By Means of Virtual Memories
Image credit SurfsUp/Shutterstock.com
We store fragments of our lives on social networks, in the cloud, our phones abound with images and videos. But are these times real and pure? Do they grasp the real feeling? Is that what we want to remember as we move forward? Of course, we like to watch them, try to relive the moments of joy, happiness, and even sadness.
What I see online, what people share with the outside world, what my friends share with me, and what I share with my friends are controlled moments.
As much as we want and try, we are unable to grasp the ideal moment of emotion.
I enjoy watching videos taken at my wedding, but these are moments taken from someone else’s perspective, seen through someone else’s eyes. I want to view and remember these moments as seen with my own eyes, I want to see the faces I saw then, the details I noticed myself, the intimate talks I had with my guests. These are the things that would help me live again the moments and feel the feelings as they were. These are times when I wanted to say time, please stop. Stay with me a while longer.
We don’t have a time-freezing device; to build one, I think it continues to be a SF movie topic. But I think we should explore how we store and remember the moments of our lives. We have Virtual Reality devices, Augmented Reality devices that assist us in trying to imagine ourselves in places we cannot reach or contexts we cannot find ourselves in.
I wish for a Virtual Memories device. A device that stores my memories like I experienced them. A device that can freeze any moment I want and play it back to me whenever I feel a desire for a previous moment in my life. A device that gives me pure and accurate details of the moment I want and by relieving it, helps me to feel the feeling I once felt. This device follows me everywhere and whenever there is an emotion in my gut, it captures the moment for me to relieve at my own choice.
Are we nowhere near such a device? I think it’s not that far away. I feel as if I have already forgotten so many moments which have defined who I am. So many moments of pure emotions, so many moments with people that are gone and I wish to relive. Maybe relive the last conversation, go to a lunch we had together, enjoy that moment of laughter. I have no desire to live in the past. I want new experiences, new memories, to live in the present and for the future. But sometimes, in order for the present to feel good, we need to remind ourselves of past experiences.
Little adjustments to virtual reality could do it. We have voice-controlled apps that can start and stop the recording, we have unlimited cloud storage to save the recordings, we have algorithms to detect and assess emotions. What is missing is to get them all to use Virtual Memories in a way and start indexing the actual moments of our lives.
Thinking about the Virtual Memories device reminds me of Dumbledore’s Pensieve. We still need some magic in our lives throughout the digital transformation we’re all a part of.

Walking London’s Mayfair
|
Mayfair
Whenever I think of Mayfair I think of Monopoly. Mayfair is the most expensive property card on the classic property trading board game — the American counterpart is Boardwalk — and by some random chance or shake of the dice, I’d landed on the real thing.
Located east of Hyde Park, behind Piccadilly and Park Lane and in between Oxford Street and Regent Street, Mayfair is a swanky, upmarket neighbourhood boasting swish restaurants, exclusive hotels, and luxury shops around every corner.
In Dover Street, I found The Arts Club, a safe haven for artists, writers, and visionary thinkers since the Victorian era and its base in this rather grand 18th-century Georgian townhouse.
The Arts Club at Christmas — by Nicole Anders
Next, Albemarle Street and the distinctively British Brown’s Hotel nestling under a street-wide festive light canopy.
Festive Light Canopy, Browns Hotel. By Nicole Anders
Along the same street, a pint-size pizza delivery car. In the dark, this tiny white Fiat looked like a lifesize Christmas decoration belonging to Babbo, an Italian restaurant owned by Premier League, Brazilian footballers Willian and David Luiz.
Fiat Babbo By Nicole Anders
Inside The Royal Arcade, the oldest shopping arcade in London, it felt more like Christmas 1880 than 2019. This elegant Victorian mall has so many original features, the tall glass ceiling, and highly decorated stucco arches, I began to wonder if Charles Dickens — apparently a regular at the Arts Club —had ever strolled along here looking for inspiration?
The Royal Arcade, Mayfair by Nicole Anders
Christmas Tree, The Royal Arcade, by Nicole Anders
At the other end of the arcade and out into a luxury shoppers paradise. This winter evening, New Bond Street has elegant peacock feather Christmas lights. I wondered if this was the sort of shopping destination a modern-day Henry Higgins would bring Eliza Doolittle in search of glamour and style— Prada, Tiffany’s & Co for accessories, and Charbonnet & Walker for indulgent chocolate treats?
Feather Glow, New Bond Street. by Nicole Anders
Not to be outdone, Old Bond Street had the most spectacular festive fashion of all at the home of fashion designer, Stella McCartney. The entire facade of this 18th-century building, now Stella’s flagship store and design studio, was dressed from head to toe in an eye-popping multi-coloured Christmas light display.
Even from across the street the illumination was so bright I needed a really fast shutter speed to stop overexposure. I found the sweet spot at 1/2000th of a second — the opposite of where the shutter had been set for the light trails — and just fast enough to capture the dark moody atmosphere and freeze-frame a pedestrian highlighted in green.
As I was heading back to my meeting point on Piccadilly, couldn’t help but wonder if the man in the freeze-frame had finished his Christmas shopping and was about to pass GO?

Top Fashion Photographers In Mumbai 2021
|
Fashion photography is a popular genre of fine art photography that is dedicated to showing fashionable clothing and various other fashion items in their natural habitat. Generally, fashion photography is best done for fashion magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, or Glamour. The main aim of fashion photography is to catch the viewer’s attention and interest. It gives them an idea of what is hot and in fashion at the moment. With the current economic recession, many people have started taking more interest in fashion photography.
A fashion photographer should be able to comprehend and handle different lighting situations such as studio, outdoors, dimly lit interior, twilight, and low light. Lighting setups include shooting from long range, telephoto, shallow depth of field, and fast continuous focus. Photographers should be able to apply lighting effects such as graduated toning, shadows, and lighting effects. Many magazines require fashion photography courses before they allow models to participate.
To become a professional photographer, one needs to have enough experience, talent, creativity, and determination. Most of these attributes are learned during formal training and classroom instruction. The better the quality of your photographs, the more high fashion magazines will request your work. To be able to accomplish this, you should have a good eye for colors, light, and the ability to isolate subjects from surroundings.

The R-Planet Team Declares: Rigs for Everyone!
|
Meanwhile on 🪐R-Planet…
More space ships continue to arrive on R-Planet, and the community is expanding at a phenomenal rate. The spacecraft, filled with those seeking a better life, are nearing their destination to the R-Planet lands. Newcomers who want to contribute to the crafting of the elements needed to begin a new life there, are finding that there’s not much they can do. The mining tools have become so scarce, there’s not enough Aether for them to use the generator. Even the simple mining rigs cost more than most new arrivals can afford.
In the meantime, we’re receiving alarming reports about mysterious UFOs wandering near the planet. Sightings of robot drones keep appearing here and there leaving some of the chipped animals feeling uneasy. The Captain Pig🐷 knows, they should be prepared for anything and they need to be able to defend themselves.
“We need more Aether” Captain Pig exclaims!
The crew is aware of the desperate need for more mining rigs and know the situation is critical. They know it’s time for the next portion of rigs to be distributed. Through tireless meetings, the chipped animals have been discussing how to ensure the even and fair distribution of the mining tools.
The animals are very conscious of all the new arrivals coming to R-Planet, and many more are on the way. They all deserve a fair chance to secure some mining power so they can contribute to the cause.
Everyone is included !
The WECAN team has decided against using a whitelist so that no one will be left out of the sale. We want everyone to be included and have an equal chance. By enabling strict pack limits and a cooldown period, we believe there will be a fair and wide distribution of the Rig packs. Hopefully, all of the new followers of the project will be able to get started with crafting elements and making their contribution to the common cause.
We will use the Atomic market system for the sale with the Google captcha in place to ensure the best user experience while doing our best to eliminate the bots from participating in the sale.
After much deliberation, we’ve made a decision: each user will only be allowed to purchase 1 Mini Pack and 1 Mega Pack, with a 5 min cooldown period.
The Sale
The mining rig NFTs will be distributed during two 1-hour sales. We will follow the same format as the last mining tool sale, where the unpacking event will take place one hour after the second sale is launched.
Two different Packs will be available:
🔥Mini Pack of Mining Tools contains 6 NFT cards of mining tools.
Probability of cards by different rarities in percentages:
Common — 63%
Uncommon — 22,5%

Ranking Rarity: Understanding Rarity Calculation Methods
|
As noted in the Introducing rarity.tools article, one of the most common questions people ask in the discords of collectible NFT projects is ‘how rare is my nft’
This is because rarity is one of the most important factors in determining the value of an individual NFT.
But how do you determine the overall rarity of an individual NFT piece? That is what this series of articles is going to (try to) answer.
The Problem
If you look at any collectible NFT item on OpenSea, such as a Bored Ape Yacht Club, you will see that it has many properties (or traits).
Bored Ape Yacht Club #73’s Properties
From looking at the properties, you may be able to determine that an NFT has some rare traits.
But how rare is this NFT compared to others? When comparing two NFTs do you simply compare the rarest trait of each NFT?
Bored Ape Yacht Club #9941’s Properties .. is he rarer than #73 above?
Because each NFT has multiple traits, there has to be a way to combine the rarity of all the traits into one single value per NFT to be able to actually rank them.
There have been many ways people have been ranking NFTs by rarity. Below we talk about some of them.
We’ll compare the above 2 apes with #9542 here
Trait Rarity Ranking
This refers to comparing NFTs by simply comparing the rarest trait of each NFT. For example, comparing the Apes above:
Ape #73 s rarest trait is Sold Gold Fur which 0.46% have
Ape #9941's rarest trait is Bored Unshaven Dagger which 0.28% have
Ape #9542’s rarest trait is Bored Unshaven Pizza which 0.26% have
Using ‘Trait Rarity Ranking’ then the order would be #9542, #9941 and last #73
Sorted by Trait Rarity
While it is a simple straightforward method, the weakness of this method is it only considers the rarest trait of each NFT.
Imagine we had a collection of NFTs that have 4 traits each. Suppose we had 2 NFTs that we wanted to compare as in the table below:
Example Collection A NFTs
Using Trait Rarity, NFT ID 1 would win because it’s rarest trait (Trait 1) has 10% rarity which is less than any of NFT 2’s traits. But the rest of NFT 2’s traits are all a lot rarer than all the rest of NFT 1’s traits. Overall wouldn’t NFT 2 be valued more?
And that is the weakness of ranking by Trait Rarity. It doesn’t look at the overall rarity of the NFTs at all, just the rarest trait.
Average Trait Rarity
Another method that is sometimes used is averaging the rarity of traits that exist on the NFT.
For example if an NFT had 2 traits, one with 50% rarity and another with 10% rarity, it’s average trait rarity would be (50+10)/2 = 30%
For our apes:
Ape #73’s average trait rarity is 4.05%
Ape #9941’s average trait rarity is 6.056%
Ape #9542’s average trait rarity is 6.452%
So with this method, the order would be completely flipped from the previous method. The ranking would be #73, #9941 and then #9542
Average Trait Rarity Ranking
Is Average Trait Rarity any good? Well, at least it considers the overall rarity of the traits. Let’s look at that previous example with NFT ID 1 and 2 again
Example Collection A: Average trait rarity is calculated and listed at the rightmost column.
So the Average rarity of NFT ID 2 is 0.11, while NFT ID 1 is 0.625. That means Average Rarity says NFT ID 2 is rarer than NFT ID 1.
The problem with this method (which Statistical Rarity that is described next also has) is that it puts so much weight on the overall rarity of every trait, that NFTs that have a single super rare trait are not valued enough, as their rarity value gets too ‘diluted’ by the other traits.
To illustrate this, imagine we had a collection of NFTs that looked like this:
Example Collection B: A collection that has 10 NFTs
Which one would you say is the rarest? Of course it’s NFT ID 1!
Now let’s try using Traity Rarity ranking and Average Trait Rarity ranking on them. First we convert the trait values to their trait rarity percentages:
Example Collection B: With trait rarity percentages listed.
If we used Trait Rarity ranking on this collection, then NFT ID 1 would be the rarest, which aligns with what we think should be right.
Now lets try using Average Trait Rarity
Example Collection B: With Average Trait Rarity on rightmost column.
Oh! Turns out Average Trait Rarity ranking thinks NFT IDs 7, 8, 9 and 10 are rarer than NFT ID 1!
But NFT ID 1 is the only unique one, the only 1 of 1 and obviously would be most valuable in the collection, wouldn’t it?
That means maybe Average Rarity ranking isn’t a really good method after all?
Statistical Rarity
Now lets look at Statistical Rarity which has become a somewhat popular method and is used very often in community made spreadsheets.
In Statistical Rarity, which as far as I know was first written about in relation to NFTs by Adam Chekroud, you calculate the overall rarity of an NFT by multiplying all of it’s trait rarities together.
For example if an NFT has 2 traits with 1 trait at 10% and the other trait at 50%, the ‘statistical rarity’ for that NFT would be (10% * 50%) = 5%
For our 3 apes, in order to make the result make sense, we need to add that there is a 22.56% chance for apes to have no hat, 70.23% chance for apes to have no earrings and 18.8% chance for apes to have no clothes. (It is arguable that these should have been added in the ‘Average Trait Rarity’ calculation too but it would not have changed the end result, instead it would have only made it more extreme)
What the calculation looks like in Excel
Ape #73’s statistical rarity is 0.00000000070744%
Ape #9941’s statistical rarity is 0.00000056965722%
Ape #9542’s statistical rarity is 0.00000044983967%
So, with this method, the ranking would be #73, #9542 and then #9941
Statistical Rarity Ranking
Let’s recap those rankings:
Sorted by Trait Rarity
Sorted by Average Trait Rarity
Sorted by Statistical Rarity
Three different methods with three different results when comparing just 3 apes. Imagine the differences between them when sorting the full collection of 10,000!
All these methods are methods that are currently being used in community made ranking spreadsheets and websites.
So if this article doesn’t convince you of anything, it should at least convince you that ranking the rarity of NFTs is a problem without an obvious solution.
Statistical Rarity vs. Example Collection A and B
Now let’s see how Statistical Rarity does with our 2 example collections that we tested Trait Rarity and Average Trait Rarity with.
First let’s see the one Trait Rarity failed with:
Example Collection A: With Statistical Rarity
Here it says NFT ID 2 is rarer which matches Average Trait Rarity, and so it passes our first test.
Next lets see how it does with Example Collection B
Example Collection B
Example Collection B: With Statistical Rarity
Oh! Just like with Average Trait Rarity, Statistical Rarity says NFT ID 7–10 are rarer than NFT ID 1!
But IDs 7–10 are duplicates of each other! Or should we believe in Statistical Rarity results and go out and buy IDs 7–10 at a higher price than NFT ID 1?
But clearly NFT ID 1 is the only 1 of 1, the rarest if you ask most people as there isn’t any others like it.
Some might say ‘but I thought Statistical Rarity was ‘Statistically Correct’ ’?
The thing is, by multiplying all the rarities of each NFT’s traits, you aren’t really measuring the rarity of an NFT in a specified NFT collection. What is really being measured is something else, which I will leave for the reader to ponder as this article would get even longer than it is.
Lets look at Rarity Score next.
Rarity Score: How is it Calculated?
So, what is Rarity Score? Rarity Score is a method that I (the founder of rarity.tools) came up with.
The simple way to calculate Rarity Score which was also described on that site is:
[Rarity Score for a Trait Value] = 1 / ([Number of Items with that Trait Value] / [Total Number of Items in Collection]) The total Rarity Score for an NFT is the sum of the Rarity Score of all of it’s trait values.
This simple calculation gives very good results and today is also used as the basis of rarity ranking in other NFT sites including an NFT marketplace.
Because [Number of Items with that Trait Value] / [Total Number of Items in Collection] is the same as the trait rarity (fractional, not %), we can also say that
[Rarity Score for a Trait Value] = 1 / [Trait Rarity of that Trait Value]
Rarity Score vs. Example Collection A and B
Let’s go ahead and see how Rarity Score tackles our two problem examples.
Remember that these imaginary NFT collections are extremely simple. If whatever calculation method we use can’t even get these right, then how can we trust our method to get collections of 10,000s of NFTs right?
Let’s start with Example Collection A. First we write down the trait rarities in fractional form:
Then we convert them to rarity scores. For example NFT ID 1 Trait 1 Rarity Score is (1 / 0.1) = 10 and then we add them all up for each NFT ID
Example Collection A: Rarity Score for each Trait Value and Total Rarity Score for each NFT ID
So Rarity Score says NFT ID 2 is more valuable because it has a higher score!
Next let’s see how it handles Example Collection B. We’ll go ahead and calculate the scores:
Yes! Rarity Score correctly ranks NFT ID 1 as the most rare NFT followed by NFT IDs 7–10 and then IDs 2–6.
So what we have seen here is in both of these example cases, the Rarity Score method has given us results that match our instinctive human picks of which NFT is rarer, while Statistical Rarity and other methods have failed.
Summary
As noted, Statistical Rarity and Average Rarity have a tendency to over-emphasize the overall level of rarities of all traits in an NFT, while not giving enough emphasis to single rare traits that could be 1 of 1s in the whole collection.
Trait Rarity on the other hand has the complete opposite problem where it only considers the rarest trait.
Rarity Score give results that give enough emphasis to single rare traits and also includes overall trait rarities in its calculation. And most importantly the results it gives match better with our human expectations.
What’s Next?
While the calculation methods are the most core part of calculating the rankings, there are still many additional elements that are used to get the best final result.
In the next articles, I will write about trait normalization, uniqueness, weightings and using combined traits and possibly other topics.
Why or how Rarity Score works is also something I might write about.

Creating a 10K NFT Avatar Collection: ExpansionPunks Step-by-Step
|
A technical dive into the procedural generation of 10K unique avatar assets.
ExpansionPunks (www.ExpansionPunks.com) is a collection of 10,000 unique, procedurally-generated collectible Punks stored as ERC721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. In the same way “expansion packs” introduce new characters and storylines in traditional tabletop gaming, ExpansionPunks have arrived to expand the Punkverse to be a more diverse and inclusive community by addressing subtle biases in the original CryptoPunks collection that unintentionally lead to exclusion. Through an expansion approach that respects and honors the ethos of the original, ExpansionPunks feature unique trait combinations without sacrificing cohesiveness and coherence with the broader CryptoPunks community. Ultimately, ExpansionPunks seek to empower everyone to feel welcome, valued and represented in this new blockchain technology frontier.
As we approach launch, we are excited to share “under-the-hood” how the ExpansionPunks population was born, step by step. While the below certainly doesn’t capture the months of background research on Punk trait nuances, nor the countless trial and error attempts involved with creating a cohesive NFT collection — it should still give a sense for the thoroughness with which this effort was approached.
The ExpansionPunks collection came to life through six primary workstreams:
Figure 1: ExpansionPunks Approach, End-to-End
1. Reverse engineering an image layer library of all traits based on existing CryptoPunks traits to serve as the raw materials for generating new Punks. 2. Validating the accuracy of trait layer library by using it to recreate the original 10K CryptoPunks, validating an exact pixel-for-pixel match between “cloned” punks and originals 3. Building a trait assignment engine to bulk define a unique ExpansionPunks population 4. Bulk generating the ExpansionPunks population 5. Removing Punks that are perceptually equivalent to CryptoPunks (due to hidden traits) 6. Trimming the unique population to the final 10K
1. Establishing a Trait Layer Library
A library of 200 different 24x24 layers was first built in Photoshop, based on existing CryptoPunks traits. LarvaLabs hasn’t published (to our knowledge) separate files for each trait layer, so the library had to be reverse engineered, starting with the zero-attribute Female/Male Archetypes (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Zero-Attribute Female and Male Archetypes
The above 8 Punks already exist — so those were easy. But zero-attribute Aliens/Apes/Zombies don’t exist in the original collection, so these rare archetypes had to be deduced by cross-referencing multiple samples of each to composite a theoretical zero-attribute version — Figure 3 shows how the Zombie zero-attribute archetype was deduced using punks #8553 and #8127. The same approach was used for the zero-attribute Alien and Ape archetypes.
Figure 3: Deducing the Zombie Zero-Attribute Archetype
These rare archetypes are also decidedly male based on their traits, so the female versions of each also had to be deduced, per Figure 4.
Figure 4: Rare Zero-Attribute Archetypes
With base archetypes in place, each of the accessory traits (mouth, hair, facial hair, eyes, etc.) had to be established as separate assignable layers — i.e. separate transparent PNG files that can be stacked to create a new punk.
Figure 5: Stacking of Separate Transparent PNG Layers to Compose a Punk
To define these traits, minimal-attribute Punks featuring each attribute had to be located to extract the pixel detail of each trait. Two primary challenges had to be overcome:
1. Deducing the RGB and opacity values for semi-transparent traits 2. Trait democratization (giving all punks access to gender-exclusive traits)
First, multiple traits (Rosy Cheeks, Mole, Spots, Horned Rim Glasses, and all 3 Eye Shadow colors) are semi-transparent, and when layered atop other traits (e.g. a skin tone) they blend to create a new third color based on a mix of the two RGB values as a function of the transparent layer’s opacity value. For example, RGB values for skin tones (1–5 in Figure 6) and Rosy Cheeks (6–10 in Figure 6) can all be directly obtained from punks with those respective traits. But to generate these blended results (6–10 in Figure 6) with a single transparent layer, the RGB and Opacity values (“?” in Figure 6) for the Rosy Cheeks Semi-Transparent layer had to be calculated, as this information isn’t available anywhere. To complicate it further — the final Rosy Cheeks blended color differs between Female and Male punks of the same skin tone — meaning the transparent layer also had to be calculated separately by Gender.
Figure 6: Rosy Cheeks as a Semi-Transparent Layer Applied to Multiple Skin Tones
To calculate the RGB and Opacity values for the Rosy Cheeks Semi-Transparent Layer, the following formula was used for each of the 3 RGB values, for each of the 5 Skin Tones, and for each of the 2 gender archetypes (i.e. 30 separate calculations):
Example of one (of thirty) such calculations for Male archetype, RED value of RGB, on Medium Skin Tone:
There are two unknown values here, the RED value and the Opacity Value of the Rosy Cheeks transparent layer. If you’re only working with 1 skin tone, 1 gender, you can achieve the desired “blend” using any Opacity value by simply altering the RGB values as a function of the formula above — e.g. blend 5 = blend 6 = blend 7, per Figure 7, by adjusting RGB and Opacity values of each overlay (overlay 2, overlay 3, and overlay 4).
Figure 7: Multiple RGB/Opacity Combinations of Rosy Cheeks Applied to Medium Skin Tone Only
However, once additional skin tones are considered, it’s clear just “any” opacity value won’t do…
Figure 8: Attempting to use RGB and Opacity Values Calculated from a Single Skin Tone Across Other Skin Tones
If we base the calculation only on Medium skin tone, then we quickly see in Figure 8 that the resultant blends across other skin tones will not be consistent: 1≠2≠3; 4≠5≠6; 7≠8≠9; and 10≠11≠12.
To find the optimum opacity and RGB value combination that can be used as a single Transparent Rosy Cheeks layer to create the exact “blends” when combined with all 5 skin tones, Excel “Solver” functionality can be used across all calculations simultaneously. Solver can test all possible Opacity values (0–100%) to find the best fit across skin tones, subject to the constraints that RGB values must always be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 255. Figure 9 shows what that looked like in Excel for the Rosy Cheeks calculation on a Male archetype.
Figure 9: Using Excel “Solver” Plug-in to Calculate RGB and Opacity Values Across Multiple Skin Tones
The optimum solution (A in Figure 9) is an RGB Value of R=214.5, G=0, B=0.2 and Opacity=19.8%. Rounded, we use RGB = 215,0,0 at 20% opacity (B in Figure 9) for our single Rosy Cheeks transparent layer (on Male archetype). When composited on each of the different skin tones, it creates the exact blended RGB value found in original Male CryptoPunks with Rosy Cheeks. This Solver approach had to be replicated across all attribute layers (and separately across both gender archetypes) that contained transparency (Mole, Spots, Horned Rim Glasses, Blue/Green/Purple Eye Shadow) in order to correctly identify the optimum RGB/Opacity values that would produce the targeted “blend” RGB value per the original CryptoPunks collection. Why did we go through such trouble when we could get “close enough” so that the naked eye wouldn’t be able to perceive differences in RGB values? Ultimately, we wanted the ExpansionPunks process to output Punks as true to original form as possible…
…as if the original CryptoPunks process were resurrected and re-run today. Only by ensuring an exact pixel for pixel mimic of the original process could we confidently say we achieved our goal.
The second challenge to address was the enablement of gender-exclusive traits (e.g. various hats, hair styles and all the Facial Hair traits, etc.) to fit the opposite gender archetype. Given Male and Female archetypes have different surface areas (e.g. Male is 1 px wider and 2 px taller than Female), gender-exclusive traits can’t simply be applied to the alternate archetype:
Figure 10: Attempting to Directly Apply the Hoodie to Female Archetype
In Figure 10 above, simply applying the Hoodie to the Female archetype creates 3 visually-jarring issues that depart from the CryptoPunks aesthetic: (1) missing pixels around the lower-left neck, (2) a narrowing of the visible female neck from 3px wide to only 2 px wide, and (3) exposure of too much forehead, losing the hooded look of the original. Moreover, the overall proportions feel off given the smaller frame of the archetype. To accomplish a more proportionate and aesthetic fit, the Hoodie was edited to address these 3 inconsistencies, as seen in Figure 11 below:
Figure 11: Creating a More Proportionate and Aesthetic Hoodie for the Smaller Female Archetype
Caution needed to be applied to ensure dynamics of the original trait were also considered — in this case, the Hoodie “hides” the Earring trait. Check out Punk #269 as an example:
Figure 12: Example of a “Hidden” Earring Trait on Punk #269
Such dynamics needed to be honored in the democratized version of the trait. Each gender-exclusive trait underwent a similar pixel-by-pixel assessment, which is how the overall CryptoPunks aesthetic was successfully carried through to these new Punk permutations that include formerly gender-exclusive traits.
2. Validating the Trait Layer Library
Before attempting to generate even a single ExpansionPunk, we needed to authenticate the accuracy of the trait layer library. We did this by generating (cloning) the entire 10K CryptoPunk population from scratch using only the original CryptoPunk trait data (CSV file of all original punks and their attributes) in concert with our newly established trait layer library. We used Excel to bulk translate the original CryptoPunk metadata into 10K lines of punk syntax that could be fed to ImageMagic via the Windows command line. Below is the sample syntax representing the famous Covid Alien Punk #7523 (Figure 13) that recently sold at Sotheby’s auction:
magick convert um-alien.png um-earring.png
um-knittedcap.png um-medicalmask.png -background none
-flatten CryptoPunks\punk7523.png
Figure 13: Punk #7523, aka “Covid Alien”
With 10K generated CryptoPunks clones, we used ImageMagick to compile them into a 100 x 100 punk matrix (2400 x 2400 pixels) that we named PunksCloned.png…
magick montage *.png -geometry 24x24+0+0 -background none PunksCloned.png
We then performed a perceptual hash (pHash) comparison against the original CryptoPunks “punks.png” composite 2400 x 2400 px image (the same .png image that has been SHA-256 hashed into the original CryptoPunks contract)…
magick compare -metric phash PunksCloned.png punks.png -compose src Aggregate_Difference.png
The command above results in the creation of a third 2400 x 2400 px image (Aggregate_Difference.png) that details the location of any pixels that don’t exactly match (across RGB value, Opacity, Location). Here’s an example on a much smaller 24x24 px image, using again our friend Covid Alien Punk #7523 and an altered version without the Medical Mask:
magick compare -metric phash punk7523.png punk7523_nomask.png
-compose src Difference.png
Figure 14: Comparing Every Pixel via Perceptual Hashing
As you can see — the Perceptual Hash comparison is able to isolate ONLY the pixels that are not perfect matches across the two images (Figure 14) — in this case only the missing “Medical Mask” pixels. This pHash comparison approach was conducted repeatedly at full collection scale to compare our 2400 x 2400 px “PunksCloned.png” composite with the original 2400 x 2400 px “punks.png” composite, each time exposing minor pixel nuances in trait layers that had to be adjusted in the trait layer library. After the 5th iteration of this cloning and comparison process, no more discrepancies were found between our clones and the original CryptoPunks — we had successfully re-engineered the original CryptoPunks generative process and validated it through creation of a “PunksCloned.png” that is pixel-for-pixel (5.76M pixels) an exact duplicate of the original “punks.png” (identical Perceptual Hash value, zero Hamming Distance between images). As an interesting aside, the Punks you see in the CryptoPunks Explorer are actually the clones generated by our process!
3. Building a Trait Assignment Engine
With the layer library built and verified, we needed a logic engine that could manage all of the below…
1. Bulk author trait combinations based on directionally-instructed trait-level probabilities
2. Accommodate Archetype-specific trait logic, for example…
a. Aliens/Apes should only ever be assigned “hat” attributes — never “hair” attributes. Logical — as Aliens/Apes don’t grow human hair styles (but Zombies do, of course, as they were formerly humans). b. Aliens/Apes never have Facial Hair, Blemish, Mouth or Nose traits. It’s important to honor that logic in the ExpansionPunks population to ensure their visual consistency with the original Aliens/Apes. c. Punks with “Pilot Helmet” must never be assigned an “Eye” trait (e.g. glasses, eyeshadows, etc.). Logical, as the Pilot Helmet has goggles on it already, so having double Eye traits would be an awkward outcome. d. Punks with “Welding Goggles” must never be assigned a “Hat” attribute — only “Hair” attributes. Again logical, as the Goggles wouldn’t pair well various Hat traits.
3. Validate trait combinations as unique by de-duping against the trait combinations found in the CryptoPunks collection
4. Bulk create Punk generation syntax to feed to ImageMagick through the windows command line.
We used Microsoft Excel to accomplish all of the above in a workbook containing 4 primary worksheets…
Worksheet 1: Generator applies “random” integers as multipliers against each trait probability to randomly assign traits, then applies Archetype-specific logic, followed by trait combination de-duping against the original CryptoPunk population — each new row is a new Punk, with an “Expansion” vs. “Duplicate” flag to indicate whether it should be generated. Virtually every cell in Figure 15 below contains a complex formula that brings this all together. The visual layout could be simplified further by baking more formulas into each cell — possibly a future enhancement to make this Excel worksheet configurable for the creation of other collections.
Figure 15: ExpansionPunks Trait Assignment Engine Built in Excel
Worksheet 2: PNG Name Lookup Table for the Generator to use (vlookup) in creating final Punk syntax for generation:
Figure 16: PNG Lookup Table
Worksheet 3: Trait Probabilities for Generator to use for randomization of trait assignment — in Figure 17 you can see the rough instruction for the generator to follow the same Skin Tone probabilities as the original CryptoPunks collection (~10% Albino, and ~30% each across Light/Medium/Dark).
Figure 17: Trait Probabilities to Instruct Random Trait Assignment
Worksheet 4: Original 10K CryptoPunks Metadata for the Generator to cross-reference in deduping ExpansionPunk trait combinations
4. ExpansionPunks Generation
With the validated image layer library of all traits and a single line of generation syntax per Punk (as output by our Excel generator) — we then fed ~14K lines of punk syntax to ImageMagick via the Windows command line. Below is the sample syntax representing Punk#10000:
magick convert um-dark.png um-smile.png um-handlebars.png um-peakspike.png um-cigarette.png -background none -flatten ExpansionPunks\punk10000.png
A few minutes later, we had 14K trait-distinct ExpansionPunks, each as 24x24 pixel PNG files. Jumping into the assets, it was exciting to discover all kinds of ExpansionPunks that still felt right at home amongst the CryptoPunks. In Figure 18 below, we see some sample ExpansionPunks (orange) we like to refer to as “Filler Punks,” since they fill a skin tone gap in an otherwise complete trait combination archetype.
Figure 18: “Gap” Punks Filled by ExpansionPunks
Of course — the other post-generation excitement in all of this was the emergence of new diverse archetypes (Figure 19) that only existed as Punk trait syntax an hour prior, some examples below:
Figure 19: New, Diverse ExpansionPunk Archetypes
5. Perceptual De-Duping Against CryptoPunks Population
With 14K ExpansionPunks — there were sure to be “perceptual” duplicates (e.g. an ExpansionPunk with a hidden trait that on visual inspection would appear pixel-for-pixel as an exact duplicate of an existing CryptoPunk). There are a variety of traits that can hide other traits — just a few as examples below:
> Medical Mask hides all Mouth traits (Lipsticks, Smile, Frown, Buck Teeth)
> Medical Mask hides some Facial Hair traits (Mustache, Handlebars)
> Big Beard hides Gold Chain
> Wild Hair hides Earring
> Straight Hair hides Earring
> Etc.
Given the variety of potential ‘hidden’ trait collisions, relying solely on the trait combination dedupe performed in Excel pre-generation was not enough to ensure a fully unique expansion population. Thus, each of the 14K images had to then be perceptually hashed into a unique “signature” value, that could then be deduped against both the ExpansionPunk collection itself, as well as against perceptually hashed signature values for each of the original 10K CryptoPunks. Enter ImageMagick again for the hashing of signatures…
magick identify -quiet -format “%f %#
” *.png > Signature.txt
Now with 14K ExpansionPunks hashed signatures, and 10K CryptoPunks hashed signatures, some basic Excel functions to compare and remove any duplicate hashed signatures from the ExpansionPunks population was a simple task. Figure 20 below highlights an example of a trait-distinct Expansion candidate that Perceptual Hashing revealed as a visual collision with CryptoPunk #8149 due to a hidden Earring trait.
Figure 20: Trait-Distinct Punk Exposed as a Visual Collision through Perceptual Hashing
This perceptual hashing process further reduced our ExpansionPunks population from ~14K to ~12K trait-distinct and visually-unique punks.
6. Trim Population to Final 10K
A variety of Pivot Tables were built on top of the 12K rows of Punk data to assess the general distributions of punks across “Types” and “Attributes” — and the collection was manually trimmed from 12K down to 10K in a way that optimized trait distributions to feel more in line with the original 10K population (as much as possible at least). For example, after de-duping visual collisions, the final 12K population skewed more towards 4/5/6-attribute punks than the original population, so punk reduction focused first on randomly removing punks with higher attribute counts. This process was more art than science, but it was still done at aggregate views only (e.g. looking at pivot table values and then randomly removing punks with bulk actions vs. singling out individual punks for removal). In Figure 21 below, the full 100 x 100 punk composite is making a first appearance.
Figure 21: All 10K ExpansionPunks
Some final notes on the above process…
· Admittedly, there are more code-centric ways of building a generator without the use of Excel. We didn’t go that route, and we’re okay with that 😉 — we think our brute force Excel approach is somewhat unique here (vs. leveraging someone else’s generation scripts).
· We fully acknowledge that ExpansionPunks were pre-generated vs. generated on-chain at time of mint. We made the decision to pre-generate to ensure there would be no risk of trait-combination collisions or visual collisions with CryptoPunks. We estimated the computational load to do such de-duping at time of mint, and concluded a pre-generation would ultimately be a better minting experience for the collectors.
· While the above process appears pretty straightforward — it’s the result of months of trial and error working on other processes that ultimately weren’t scalable. For example, before we discovered ImageMagick, we were using the “variable” and “dataset” functions in Photoshop to bulk generate ExpansionPunks. While it’s possible to do this, it required more steps (export data sets as PSD files, then bulk convert PSDs to PNGs, etc.) and introduced more room for error than the Windows command line approach with ImageMagick.

Origins of the Callisto Network
|
A long time ago in a chain far, far away….
This article mostly describes my personal vision and the reasons why I am here doing what I have been doing for the past 5 years starting from the moment before Callisto Network came to existence.
4 years have passed since the founding of Callisto Network. A lot has happened over the years as in our team, our project and the entire crypto industry as a whole.
I usually write an annual report on the work done and the state of Callisto development. However, this time I would like to write in more detail about how it all began, how everything happened and why everything happened exactly as we can now see.
And it started during the ETC/ETH split right after TheDAO hack…
Picking the side in ETC/ETH split
I was engaged in many interviews and I was often asked why at that moment I picked the side of the ETC community. I’ve never gave a fulfilling answer so far. It’s time to explain in more details.
I was watching the progress of Ethereum project since its very beginning. And then there was TheDAO. And then it was hacked and about 3,600,000 ETH were drained from it — the most interesting thing however was the ideological background of “TheDAO event” because technically it was not a hack.
The nitpicky part here is that Ethereum Foundation declared an absurd “code is law” paradigm and promoted their smart-contracts as immutable decentralized applications. They stated that smart-contracts should work exactly as programmed when the code is deployed, although it is obvious to any sane person that any program should work as INTENDED and not as it was CODED because programs can be prone to bugs and it’s a normal practice.
For any person who has minimal experience in programming it should be obvious that program’s code cannot be immutable nor should it! Mistakes are the inevitable part of any software development. Programmers spend 80% of their time dealing with bugs, not writing the code. There is plenty of evidence that a 200-line program has been patched over the decades (like this one).
And then Ethereum developers felt victims of their own mistakes — TheDAO got exploited.
They decided to perform the softfork but it was rejected by the community. After that Ethereum Foundation performed the “DAO bailout hardfork” violating all the core principles of blockchains, decentralization and their own declaration of immutability paradigm. Even though, I would not blame them for doing this. If this were my project, I would also do everything to save my users from losses that were not the result of their faults.
However, I was a strong supporter of decentralization ideology that was later described in “Crypto Decentralists Manifesto” which is still available to anyone as an open document.
Neutrality is necessary. It’s important for anyone participating in blockchain-enabled cooperation to be on an equal footing with everyone else. It doesn’t matter if you wield huge economic power or only a tiny amount. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a saintly Mother Theresa or a vicious drug dealer. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a human or a refrigerator. It doesn’t matter what you believe in, what political theory you subscribe to, or whether you’re a moral or immoral person. A participant’s ethnicity, age, sex, profession, social standing, friends or affiliations, make or model, goals, purposes or intentions — none of this matters to the blockchain even a bit. — A Crypto-Decentralist Manifesto
The actions performed by Ethereum foundation violated the neutrality principle and the opposite side of the conflict was worth supporting in my opinion. There were a lot of those who disagreed with the Ethereum Foundation, and this was the first time in my life when a part of the community showed such an inexorable resistance to censorship in action — they splitted off and supported the “original” chain.
I was clearly supporting both sides of the conflict — ETH and ETC. However, there were people on both sides who supported their ideas with their efforts and investments. All these people, regardless of whether they chose the side of ETH or ETC at that moment, in my opinion, deserve all the best, since the conflict was ideological and the fact that they were involved was already a significant contribution to the history of TheDAO drama.
The difference between ETH supporters and ETC supporters was that ETH side had a well-funded already-existing development team and all their media resources. They already had exchange support and all those benefits remained with them. As the result, I decided that I will join the Ethereum CLassic community to support the minority and learn the underground of “establishing your own crypto project from scratch”.
I picked the pseudo-name “Dexaran” and joined ETC from day0 even before Poloniex Exchange listed ETC and finally gave it a birth.
The Lord of Ethereum CLassic
During the ETC / ETH split and in the early days of the ETC chain, I gained invaluable experience in creating my own project / chain, as well as the process of driving the fork-off successfully.
A number of random facts regarding my early contributions to ETC project:
At the very beginning I sponsored Russian community media resources. Russian community was a big part of ETC lead by BitNovosti (the creator of Crypto Decentralists Manifesto and owner of bitnovosti.com)
After the hack of classicetherwallet.com on July, 2017 I took on the main web wallet of Ethereum CLassic ecosystem and continued it’s development. Currently the wallet.callisto.network is a descendant of that-days classicetherwallet.com
TheDAO hacker paid me 1000 ETC (~$16,000 at that moment) for the security audit of ETC Multisig.
Fun art of good ol’ times. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EthereumClassic/comments/7z9r5u/etc_overlords/
After the excitement of the success of ETC birth calmed down we started to realize the reality of driving the project forwards. While the “moral winner” status of ETC was a strong background in TheDAO drama it was the only valuable part of ETC as a project. ETC community started to experience governance and technical problems from the first days.
Ethereum had strong ecosystem represented by rapidly developed wallets, blockchain explorers, bigger community, a team of talented developers with a clear vision. They also had Unicorns!
ETC had none of those (especially unicorns…) and started to lag behind from it’s very first days as it’s wallets needed constant maintenance, explorers were worse than those of ETH and a lot of efforts were required just to keep up with Ethereum.
Two development teams emerged in ETC at that moment:
Apparently it turned out that both teams were focusing on their own vision and none were interested in solving the actual problems of “ETC deprecation” as compared to rapidly evolving Ethereum.
I decided to step in and solve these actual problems myself. I’ve seen Ethereum CLassic as an “ideologically different” copy of Ethereum that experienced no need to differentiate on tech level. You can find my position described here at that time. I realized that a lot of efforts to “make it different” are going to waste because this turned into development for the sake of development. Afterall Ethereum was the most progressive project in the whole industry at that moment and trying to compete with it while having less resources was not so smart idea.
I did some research and found a number of Ethereum-Fork-Coins, including Musicoin, UBQ, Expanse, Pirl etc.
They all required similar resources — blockchian explorers, wallets, RPC nodes. They all solved this similar problems by developing their own versions of these.
At this time I formed the ideology of unifying all the Ethereum-based chains under one project so that we could join our efforts and avoid double work when solving similar problems independently.
I decided to form the Ethereum Commonwealth. I needed a team.
The time of Ethereum Commonwealth
I have described my ideas and launched the Ethereum Commonwealth ICO. It was not as successful as I wanted it to be but I gathered enough funds to hire developers to work on what I thought was necessary for the success of ETC. At that time I hired Yohan Graterol as a programmer who became a co-founder of Callisto Network afterwards.
Shortly after this event, we had a falling out with ETCDEV over some controversial posts on Reddit, and I was accused of discrediting them (although I did not).
At that moment our internal disagreements became obvious. We had 3 teams with different visions and the result was that we couldn’t implement what we wanted to. Charles Hoskinson was proposing a Treasury and governance system ideas developed by IOHK and it looked reasonable at that moment. For me it was obvious that any governance system would be better than no governance system at all.
However, we could not reach a consensus, and whatever changes were made to the protocol, they were made by the protocol developers (ETCDEV team) disregarding what other development teams were proposing.
The main argument was “the impact of these changes is unknown, the risks are too high. Better keep things as they are because somehow it works now”.
At this moment I came to the idea of creating a “live proof” for our ideas. It should have been a separate chain where we could implement the experimental features to show that they do work and it would not hurt the chain. The plan was to port those changes to ETC once they are live tested.
Those changes that I considered necessary were:
Simplified Treasury based on what Hoskinson and IOHK proposed
Security Auditing DAO (view on github) to prevent hacks of DAPPs (this required Treasury and it would have been impossible without it)
“Cold Staking” — a financial feature developed to compensate the effect of extra selling pressure that came as a result of free-of-charge security audits that were paid by the Treasury
Financial transparency — all the “ecosystem” expenses must be covered transparently and must be available to everyone at any time with no restrictions. As the result, we needed an open financial report at the beginning and later we moved to commenting Treasury transaction on-chain.
Decentralization of media resources — to avoid a situation where teams are working on the same project, but one has an employee who controls media resources. Then this employee can ignore the progress of all teams and only cover what his team has done, as if this is the only development in the project. This happened to ETC community.
I have designed the structure of this chain with all the above named features. It was decided to launch it via the airdrop for ETC holders and it was announced at ETC reddit. You can find this announcement here.
At this time, I offered Yohan to become a Callisto co-founder. The Treasury of Callisto Network was just a simple address and we both shared it’s private key (so technically we both had access to the funds at all times). We had an agreement that 33% of Treasury income could be spent by each party (my part of Callisto Team and Yohan’s part of Callisto Team) independently at their will. Another 34% should be allocated for common expenses such as exchange listings, compensations, extra marketing expenses etc.
Callisto Network came to existence
Callito Mainnet was successfully launched on April 15, 2018.
The mainnet launch was not as smooth as planned. Firstly, I was hospitalized during the most important moment of this event and Yohan drived the process on his own. After the launch there was a chain split caused by the 2miners pool that had more than 51% of the network hashrate. We agreed with the owners of 2miners pool to compensate their losses and resync the network. The compensation was paid with Treasury funds (Treasury is a very good idea, you know).
Here you can find more info on the chain split accident.
When the post-launch accidents were resolved we have expanded the team and hired a team of dedicated developers who would work on Callisto Network development only.
Callisto Network was designed, funded and launched as a sub-project of Ethereum Commonwealth with the initial goal of researching experimental improvements of Ethereum protocol that could be proposed to ETC afterwards.
At the stage of pre-launch development all the salaries and expenses were covered with Ethereum Commonwealth ICO funds. In addition, I’ve spent over $500,000 of my personal funds to cover exchange listing fees and paid promotion before the first official exchange listing. At that point of time CLO had no value as it was not traded.
Callisto Network & ETC
In the past years we did everything that we originally planned. You can follow the links above to find my proposals that have been submitted to ETC for the experimental improvements we originally announced as a goal of Callisto launch.
In 2020 ETC suffered a number of 51% attacks. As it was a big issue for Callisto Network earlier, we already had a ready-to-go solution to this problem.
The ECIP-1092: 51%-attack solution was submitted to ETC community that suggested to copy&paste our code as a protection measure that could effectively stop the attacks. This was a live tested solution that was implemented in Callisto and proved to be efficient ‘in real environment’.
Here you can find the video presentation of the ECIP-1092.
Here you can find a technical discussion where all questions were addressed.
The ETC team employee in control of @eth_classic twitter account openly refused to give my proposal the announcement. Here you can find the record of this media censorship on github.
All the Ethereum CLassic Improvement Proposals (ECIPs) that came from Callisto Team were rejected by ETC community (or ETC team leaders) including the proposal for 51%-attack solution.
My proposal to solve 51%-attacks by copying our already-existing code was submitted on 18 August, 2020. ETC community kept suffering 51%-attacks until February 3, 2021 when the MESS solution was presented.
As the result it was decided that Callisto Network must choose its own way instead of following the initial goal of developing improvements for ETC.
Callisto Network 2021 report
In 2021 Callisto Team experienced a significant reorganization. A new entity of Callisto Enterprise was formed and joined the Callisto ecosystem.
Yohan Graterol resigned from his CEO role and Callisto legal entity was transferred from him to Vladimir Vencalek, CEO of Callisto Enterprise.
Key members of the Callisto Network team were also hired as employees of Callisto Enterprise. I took over the role of COO at Callisto Enterprise.
We focused on directing Callisto’s development towards improving the blockchain ecosystem in a more sensible way than keeping ETC protocol up-to-date with Ethereum. As the result, we have introduced:
The SOY.Finance — a new generation DeFi, the only decentralized exchange that support ERC223 token standard.
ERC223 improvement for global adoption.
Crosschain bridge — already live on mainnet.
CallistoNFT — better NFT standard as a superset of ERC721 features.
A number of token offerings that driven attention of investors, such as CHOAM token.
The most important thing in the industry of tokens
2022 is going to be a year of token standards.
You can remember the time of ERC20-ERC223 standard disputes. It was a hot topic but it calmed down then. Despite the fact that ERC20 tokens are still vulnerable.
The same goes for ERC721 and CallistoNFT — we have a better standard to offer this world.
This is not an easy task to change the ecosystem that already formed. However this needs to be done in order to make significant improvements. Now we have the team, experience and desire to achieve this goal.
We will introduce and promote better token standards, better token exchanges, better explorers for better user experience.

Uber — saviour or exploiter?
A perspective on the interplay of business and law from the lens of business design Sajid Khetani Dec 16, 2021·4 min read

Uber — the saviour
Let’s revisit the time when hailing a cab or a rickshaw was an inconvenient experience and I am sure everyone has their share of experiences. Uber picked up this problem and built an entire business around it. Its proposition was simple, through its mobile app one could hail a cab at the click of a button. It also provided the estimated fare and time of arrival, which provided a great deal of convenience to the customers.
Who are the drivers? The market was earlier dominated by city-wide taxi services and the supply was dictated by the issuance of permits/medallions. Very often than not, the permits were in huge demand and it commanded a hefty premium.
Uber addressed this problem by opening its platform to individuals who had a car and a driver’s license. This led to an explosion of service and the way the taxi industry used to operate was disrupted forever. But this also led Uber to be swamped by a flurry of lawsuits. Out of all the legal troubles which Uber has been facing, the key one has been around its classification of the drivers.
Uber — the exploiter?
The contention has been around whether the drivers on the Uber platform be classified as employees? If yes, then Uber is mandated to provide employee benefits such as insurance, paid sick time, etc. to the drivers.
Drivers are not contractors
Uber has been contesting this claim by a simple argument that it’s a technology platform and the drivers are freelancers/independent contractors who are not bound by a stipulated number of work hours. It has settled the cases in a few instances and in some cases they have taken a turn for the worse, as recently witnessed in California.
In one of the cases filed in the UK Supreme Court, Uber has lost a long-running employment tribunal challenge. The court dismissed their appeal and reaffirmed earlier rulings that drivers who brought the case are workers, not independent contractors.
In a press summary, the court said: “Drivers are in a position of subordination and dependency in relation to Uber such that they have little or no ability to improve their economic position through professional or entrepreneurial skill. In practice, the only way in which they can increase their earnings is by working longer hours while constantly meeting Uber’s measures of performance.”
Uber, the Principal
An ongoing bone of contention for Uber has been the contractual obligation between them and the customer. Uber has argued that the acceptance of a booking constituted a contract between the passenger and the driver — to which it claimed it was not a party. It has consistently sought to maintain that its only role was to act as a booking agent providing technology services and collecting payment as an agent for the drivers.
This argument suffered a blow in the High Court at London. U.K. judges ruled that the firm should enter into a direct contract with passengers when providing car journeys and therefore assume more responsibility for each trip booked on their app.
In concluding the judgement, the High Court makes it clear platforms cannot avoid a contractual obligation — writing that “in order to operate lawfully under the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998 a licensed operator who accepts a booking from a passenger is required to enter as principal into a contractual obligation with the passenger to provide the journey which is the subject of the booking”.
The interplay of business and law
I am not getting into the legalese of this issue but highlighting Uber’s strategy of solving a problem for the masses, thereby disrupting the entire industry — albeit creating a lot of ambiguity on the applicability of the existing laws.
This is where the interplay of business and law turns interesting. Legality depends on a multitude of variables, which is also open to interpretation. Especially, when we are looking at ambiguous cases such as Uber, where the law in many cases is catching up with the emergent realities.
To sum up, being on the right side of the law is detrimental to the success of the business. Having said that, testing the interpretation with a sound legal understanding in a disruptive market is a good strategy in distributed markets — Irrespective of the win or loss.
What do you think? Would love to hear your thoughts?
Until next time!

Insight of Uber Out of Home and Programmatic Taxi Screen Advertising
|
Video is taken from https://www.adomni.com/
How has the world’s largest ride-sharing company Uber revolutionized a business model throughout the new Ad Network?
Uber formed an out-of-home ad division in early 2020 in partnership with Adomni, a programmatic advertising platform to launch the project that the ride-hailing brand has inked a contract with the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade (Yellow Taxicab) and Creative Mobile Media.
By creating the cartop digital ad screens are connected to the internet, allowing advertisers to make programmatic buys that can run ads based on the time of day or geographic location of the ads. Therefore, Uber vehicles and taxis are everywhere wherever the audience is standing and we can geo-target advertising content based on the audience composition of a specific geographical location, like around tourist attractions areas, near the shopping mall,… The advertisements can target and only show when and where deemed necessary for maximum impact on people viewing the ads and increasing your advertisement’s exposure.
Photo on Tastyad.com
As a result, this collaboration was helping the brand run similar messages as well as digital set out on the subway system, or in Times Square, or any Kiosks. Advertisers via a DSP placed a bid. In general, if there is a match in the request coming to the demand of the demand-side platform (DSP), the auction starts in the ad server and an ad is delivered following the criteria of your campaign. Specifically, Advertisers can launch self-service ad campaigns on adomni.com or through their omnichannel (DSP) of choice via the Adomni NeonX ad exchange. In reality, this strategy could bring to you a billion impressions thanks to thousands of cars passing every corner of the city every day by the end of the year.
Furthermore, Resume step by step how it works:
Browses available inventory and creates the details of your campaign using DSP
Taxi cabs that are equipped with wireless internet received the data sent from the DSP
The digital screen is automatically programmed your advertisement
Collecting the data analytics and sent back to the advertiser for your review.
As a marketing digital role, with the platform Adomni (in the US), we can filter our screens by choosing digital media types, video support, or proximity to points of interest, creating schedules, it notably helps us choose which audience we are trying to reach and the algorithms optimally place ads on screens. Moreover, we can retarget consumers on mobile devices after they are exposed to the DOOH screen and it significantly improved brand opinion and purchase intent.
However, Programmatic Taxi Screen Advertising encountered some obstacles. Viewers had a difficult vision through your ads if the Taxi runs so fast. Secondly, the display screen is small, it required high quality and creative ads and also the capability to play video ads as well as image ads. Additionally, there was having a potential that the taxi to reach a wider range of views if the cab is always driving around.
On the whole, the programmatic-enabled taxi was giving brands creative new ways to reach their audiences also cutting through the digital noise and device burnout by using real-world screens, and helped your company raise brand awareness in key markets…

A tactical approach at helping Uber decide on which countries to enter into
|
With a raving presence in over 80 countries, Uber is one the world’s most successful mobility service provider.
In this article, we are taking a tactical approach that can aid Uber’s management to decide which countries it can expand to in its upcoming plans.
Assuming, the ultimate goal for Uber is to grow revenues via expansion into different geographies.
Profits © = Total revenue- Expenses
Total revenue(A) = total no. of rides(x) * (price/km(y) * total distance driven(z))
Expenses (B) = Initial setup cost*(m) + Payments(n) + Promotions(p) + others(t)
The overall focus would be to increase A and keep B as minimum as possible.
The factors taken into consideration are given a significance-rating(high/medium/low) depending on the kind of impact they might have on A/B/C.
Factors that will determine x component :
Prospect customer base (High) : Total no. of daily + medium travelers
Location brownie points(High) : if the city in question is a major tourist spot, connection hub (hosts major bus depots, railway stations, airports, etc.)
Expansion avenues (Low) : services of auto, cab, ferry, bikes, etc.
Market saturation (medium) : if there are too many service providers already present.
No. of competitors
% of repeat customers of those competitors
Factors that will determine component m (cost = time + money ) :
Availability and temperament of local players : do they see cab service providing companies as job opportunities or competition (% breakup)
Available vehicle acquisition options (ease + cost)
Ease of governance, socio-political volatility
Competition’s service costs
1 — Given a city name, Uber should be able to determine if it shall enter into the city :
2 — Given a set of cities, Uber should be able to prioritise which cities to enter first: The city that earns the highest rating on the below matrix should be chosen first and likewise

The Real Housewives Of The North Pole: 8 Main Characters, Ranked By Likability
Bravo isn’t the only one churning out Real Housewives content. Peacock joined the craze this year with the release of their original Christmas movie The Housewives of The North Pole staring real-life Housewive Kyle Richards. The holiday movie centers on two best friends, Diana and Trish, who have a public falling out that leaves them both competing against each other for the best Christmas house display in town.

Things also get tense when a journalist comes to town and Diana and Trish’s adult children are secretly falling for each other. With tons of drama comes tons of hilarious and dramatic characters for fans to root for, The Housewives of The North Pole has no shortage of likable and dislikeable characters.
Xander (Alex Mapa) isn’t from the North Pole, Vermont but that doesn’t stop him from sinking his teeth into all the town’s juicy drama. As a producer of a major publication, Xander is responsible for trying to get Kendall (Tetona Jackson) to write a scathing expose on the women in the town.
While Xander might be good at his job, he’s not winning any “most caring person” awards. Even when Kendall tries to kill the story out of fear of hurting everyone in town, Xander pushes on and even shows up. He’s definitely a selfish character who gives Scrooge a run for his money and is one of the worst movie bosses.
Despite being one of the main protagonists of the movie, Trish (Kyle Richards) definitely isn’t the most likable of characters. As the self-proclaimed Queen of the North Pole, Trish runs a tight ship where everything must go her way.
In addition to being uptight about the house decorating competition, she is uber controlling when it comes to her daughter’s life and has it planned out to the tee. Trish’s lack of letting go is whathttps://www.fiverr.com/share/0rD8lAas her own pitfalls that keep her from being the best character in The Housewives of The North Pole. Her one redeeming feature is that she truly is a loyal friend who would go to the ends of the Earth to help those she cares about.

However, it’s her unwillingness to accept her divorce and move on that had many viewers keeping her from the top of their favorite list. Plus, she nearly missed out on dating a great guy solely because she was still mourning the loss of her cheating ex.
Paul (Carlos Ponce) spends most of the time communicating with his wife, Trish, via FaceTime while trying to secure a new job opportunity. While that might land him on the list of crappy husbands, Paul is actually a great one especially since he has to put up with Trish.
Even with the family in financial trouble and Trish recklessly spending to win the competition, Paul remains calm and collected, never once lashing out at his well-meaning wife. Plus, he has an adorable relationship with his daughter which gives them plenty of great father-daughter moments.
As Diana’s only child Jake (Kyle Selig) is the apple of his mom’s eye. He’s also her emotional support since she’s still reeling from her divorce from his father. As if that’s not enough to deal with, Jake also has some problems of his own namely trying to find a job despite graduating from an Ivy League school.
Despite all that’s being thrown at him, Jake never becomes cynical of his degree or resents his mom for how much she relies on him for support. Instead, he leans into it and even manages to find love while dealing with everything.
Like Jake, Skye (Jearnest Corchado) is the only child of Trish which means she’s also the apple of her mom’s eye. However, while Diana manifests love in a supporting way, Trish manifests it by micromanaging her daughter’s life.

Even though Sky and Trish aren’t always on the same page, Skye always defends her mother. In fact, she gets incredibly upset when Jake suggests that being like Trish is a bad thing. It’s this fierce loyalty that makes Skye such a great character. Plus, she ends up standing up to Trish and chasing her own dreams which is what really matters.
As one of the only outsiders in North Pole, Vermont, Kendall has a lot to learn about how the town operates. There to find a story to write about, Kendall instantly hits it off with Trish and Diana as they talk about their friendship and the house decorating contest.
While Kendall does backstab the ladies a bit, she quickly pulls away from her sinister boss and sees the error in her ways. She even jeopardizes her entire career as a writer to save Diana and Trish from the terrible story Xander is trying to tell about them. Giving her one of the best redemption arcs in the entire movie.
When it comes to wholesome, unproblematic characters Nick (Damon Dayoub) wins without contest. A wildlife researcher, Nick stumbles into North Pole, Vermont to try and figure out why the town’s beloved reindeer have gone missing the last few years. While there, he ends up hitting it off with Diana.
Unlike most men, Nick isn’t pushy when it comes to his feelings for Diana. He understands she’s still processing her divorce and doesn’t bat an eye when she tells him she might not be ready for several years. Instead, he agrees to wait for her which kind of makes him the perfect man.

An Intro to Quantitative Modeling for Sports Bettors (in Excel)
|
The explosive rise and spread of legalized sports betting in the United States has prompted many to develop (or renew) an interest in a more quantitative, data-driven methodology for predicting the outcomes of sporting events.
Intro to Monte Carlo Simulations
Historically, any sportsbook operator generating their own odds (as opposed to just copying bet365 or Pinnacle markets) or posting live projected win probabilities (e.g. ESPN Gamecast) has done so using some form of stochastic simulation, most commonly a Monte Carlo simulation. This is a method for iteratively evaluating a deterministic model using sets of nondeterministic (i.e. random) numbers as inputs.
To make sure we all understand what this means in this particular context, suppose I asked what the probability was of rolling a 1 on a single throw of a six-sided die. You likely know that immediately to be 1/6 or approximately 16.7%. However, for the less quantitatively-oriented, we could:
Roll a six-sided die, perhaps 100,000 times Tally up all the results Convert those to frequencies And then say that, given our sufficient sample size, we are reasonably certain that the frequency with which each outcome occurred during our trial is indicative or predictive of the frequency with which it will occur in the future
Of course, no one is going to sit around a roll a die 100,000 times, nor could they do so in an independent and identically distributed (iid) fashion. Fortunately, all of your favorite spreadsheet programs and programming languages allow for this to be done many many times, very very quickly. You can see the syntax for one iteration in Excel and Python underneath the graphic above, just for the sake of illustration.
An Example: Yankees vs. Red Sox (June 29, 2019)
How does this apply to sports? Believe it or not, most odds, win probabilities, and score projections are generated by simulating matchups between teams or players in this exact fashion. We can illustrate this using as an example the matchup between the New Yankees and Boston Red Sox that took place at London Stadium in the United Kingdom on June 29th, 2019. If you want to follow along or toy around yourself, you can download the macro-enabled Excel workbook here.
Steps:
I first pulled both the Yankees and Red Sox game logs for the regular season until that point from baseball-reference.com I then calculated the average number of runs each team had scored per game until that point I also included how many runs those teams allowed per game I then applied a very common transformation intended to account for the fact that, given any team’s offensive output, the quality of the opponent’s defense will affect the likelihood with which you would expect them to perform at a particular level. We will consider this value our mean (μ) going forward. We will, of course, want to include the standard deviation or variability in offensive output. In a more robust model, we might consider applying a similar adjustment to our standard deviation as we did to our average. In theory, the variability in a team’s Runs Scored should impact the variability in their opponent’s expected Runs Against, and the variability in a team’s Runs Against should impact the variability in their opponent’s expected Runs Scored. Then, we will use the inverse of the cumulative normal distribution function, which takes 3 parameters:
Congratulations, we have now “simulated” a matchup between the Yankees and Red Sox in which the Yankees won by a score of 10.147 to 7.945.
However, just as with our dice example, we want to run this simulation not once, but, perhaps 10,000 times:
Finally, we can calculate the frequency with which each time won in our simulated matchups and convert or compare those to odds for betting purposes.
A team that wins with a probability of 53.8% would be represented at fair odds of -116 (1.86, for international readers), while their counterpart with a win probability of 46.3% would be represented at fair odds of +116 (2.16). With standard juice applied, this would likely hit the market at Yankees -129, Red Sox +107.
If you’re noticing that the two probabilities add up to 100.1%, that is only because of rounding for the sake of this graphic.
The market on bet365 opened at Yankees -135, Red Sox +114, which is quite close to what our very primitive model has suggested thus far, though there may have been some luck involved. At this point, it is too early to tell but skepticism is often the prudent viewpoint.
Looking Under the Hood
This tactic of first creating a mathematical representation of an event, and then iterating through it over and over is a standard part of any data scientist’s toolkit and is used to make predictions that you might interact with regularly. Weather forecasts and economic projections are two very common examples, but for some it is not entirely intuitive why the method is effective in the first place. If this does not describe you, feel free to scroll down to the section titled Home Field Advantage.
We recall from statistics that normally distributed data sets follow a bell curve, under which a specific proportion of values can be found within a given distance from the mean.
Using only the mean and standard deviation of any normal distribution, we can construct a chart like the above. In the context of the model we’ve built thus far, this chart can be read as the likelihood with which the Yankees (or a team statistically identical to the Yankees) would score any number of runs against the Red Sox (or a team statistically identical to the Red Sox). Since normal distributions are symmetric about the mean, we would say there is a:
50% chance of scoring up to 5.142 runs
50% + 34.1% = 84.1% of scoring up to 8.143 runs
50% — 34.1% = 15.9% chance of scoring up to 2.141 runs
You’ll notice that in the case of the Yankees at this point in 2019, moving two standard deviations to the left of the mean yields a prediction of a negative score (-0.860). We will come back to this momentarily.
When we were building our simulation, we used the inverse of the cumulative normal distribution function along with 3 parameters. The cumulative normal distribution function itself shows, for a given distribution and value of x, the probability of a randomly selected value being less than x. In other words, what percentage of the data falls to the left of x. One final way to internalize this that is relevant here is to imagine choosing a value x along the x-axis and then asking what the probability is that a randomly selected point under the curve will be to the left of that x value.
The inverse of this function does…the inverse. It allows us to input a distribution (parameterized by a mean and standard deviation) and a percentage or probability, and then produces as output the x value for which the supplied percentage of data falls to the left.
The percentage or probability that we are supplying, in this case in Excel, comes from a (pseudo) random number generator that outputs a value greater than or equal to 0 and less 1, notated mathematically as [0,1). When the simulation was run to construct these graphics, that random value produced by Excel for the Yankees was ~0.95234.
One interpretation of this is that, for a bell curve representing a distribution with a mean of 5.142 and standard deviation of 3.001, 95.234% of the values fall to the left of 10.147. Another way of saying this is that the Yankees (or a team statistically identical to the Yankees) will score 10.147 or fewer runs against the Red Sox (or a team statistically identical to the Red Sox) in 95.234% of matchups.
As long as the assumption of a normal distribution holds, iteratively using random values between 0 and 1 to generate simulated scores for each team will give us a good approximation of how the game we parameterized is likely to play out (hopefully). For other sports and events, a normal distribution may not be ideal. For very low-scoring sports like soccer, it may make more sense to use a Poisson distribution or a negative binomial distribution to model the game, rather than a normal distribution.
In this particular case, as was briefly referenced earlier, it is possible to obtain a negative number of runs scored. For the purposes of the model we are building, we will employ logic that converts any negative scores to a score of 0.000. This is a place where we see the art of modeling truly fusing with the science. Perhaps a simulated score of Yankees: -4, Red Sox: -3 is just as informative as a simulated score of Yankees: 5, Red Sox: 6. Or, perhaps one wants to completely remove the entire simulated matchup in the case that either team produces a result that would be impossible in the real world. Stepping back for just a moment, we see this is not the only aspect of our model that leaves room for creativity and also for error. We did not take into account injuries, momentum, weather, stadium dimensions, starting pitchers, and a host of other important data points that may impact our predictions.
Often, one of the best ways to learn to build models is to start with the minimum viable product and then incrementally add to and scale it. In this case, we will first look at incorporating home field advantage as a feature of our model.
Home Field Advantage
During the 2018 MLB regular season the home team won 1,277 games (52.6%), while the away team won 1,149 games (47.4%). Thus, someone building a model amidst the 2019 season may ascribe a 2.6% incremental win probability to a team playing at home, all else being held equal.
This is not a home game for the Red Sox, as it was played in London at a neutral site, but suppose it was. One option would have been to only use Runs Scored and Runs Against data from Red Sox home games and Yankees away games in the first place, so that no further modifications need to be made. In some cases, this would be a viable approach, though we may hesitate to think this is one of them, especially because of the limiting factor it has on an already-small sample size.
Suppose our research revealed that, all else equal, home field advantage can be expected to add 0.32 expected runs to a team’s output, after adjusting for the quality of the opponent’s defense. It is particularly easy to incorporate this into our model by simply adding 0.32 to the Adj. Runs Scored for the team with home field advantage.
This occurs before the value is passed as a parameter to the inverse of the cumulative normal distribution function, (NORM.INV, in Excel parlance), so no further adjustments are needed. The same can be said for any factor that adds or subtracts a specified absolute contribution to or from the expected output. For example, if a particular team scores 0.73 fewer runs in games immediately following a cross-country flight, and the game we are trying to model fits that criteria, it would be very easy to incorporate into the simulation.
In our case, neither team had home field advantage, so we will not use such a factor, but it is still an option that can be toggled into our Excel model.
An Ensemble Approach to Modeling
Not only can we adjust our model for factors like home field advantage, but we can also layer on other methodologies in order to take more of an ensemble approach to modeling, whereby multiple different models and/or datasets are used to predict the same outcome.
For example, Bill James and SABR have published a formula for calculating probabilities of victory in head-to-head MLB matchups, based solely on winning percentages. The derivation is clever and worth reading, and yields the following:
In our case, the Yankees and Red Sox had winning percentages of:
Under this formula, we have:
At this point, we have a win probability for each team from our Monte Carlo simulation…
…which may or may not include a home field advantage as a factor, and another win probability for each time from the SABR formula:
We could simply assign them equal weights such that:
However, we may want to apply any number of other approaches to weighing these two values. Perhaps there is historical research which would be helpful. Alternatively, we could backtest a number of different weights on other matchups.
Leveraging Random Number Generators (RNGs)
We saw the power of using random number generators to approximate future probabilities, but can also use a very similar technique to zero in on the ideal weightings, as long as we have a goal in mind. One such goal would be most closely mirroring the bet365 opening line, which was Yankees -135, Red Sox +114. Without such a goal, how would one even define what it means to associate an “ideal” weight with a given probability?
We need to correct for the vig, or house edge, being charged, because that has nothing to do with the predicted outcome of the game itself and more to do with the risk management and financial model of the operator.
One way to do this would be to remove the house edge from the bet365 line in order to find the fair odds, convert those to probabilities:
…and then find the weightings,
…such that:
Another option, which we will pursue for the sake of explanation, is to calculate the bet365 house edge…
…and use that factor to add juice to the fair odds produced by our model, and then tweak the weightings so that those fair odds, once adjusted by the bet365 house edge, converge to the actual opening bet365 lines.
We start by using the same random number generator from our Monte Carlo simulation, in Excel this is =RAND(), which we recall produces a random value in the range of [0,1). We will assign a random value to the weighting…
…which will multiply our Monte Carlo-based win probability…
…and then assign 1 minus that value…
…to the weight on our SABR-based win probabilities:
For our first iteration or trial, we will produce one implied winning probability for the Yankees:
…and one for the Red Sox:
Once we generate other random numbers in order to produce probabilities pairs of win probabilities,
…we will further hone the weighting.
For the sake of analytic hygiene, we should quickly check that for any trial n,
If not, we should figure out what has gone wrong before proceeding.
At this point, we want to convert our probabilities to fair odds, and will start with decimal form for the sake of simplicity, as the initial conversion is quite straightforward.
The more difficult, and often less intuitive step concerns adding the house edge, which we will do before converting to American odds.
This would be a perfect point for anyone who doesn’t understand how house edge (also known as “vig”, “vigorish”, or “juice”) is calculated, and how that stands in relation to “overround”, as well as what each can be used for computationally. Anyone interested in a deep dive can pause, and read this article, which will leave you in the perfect place to jump right back in at this exact place.
Accounting for the House Edge
If you just left to read the deep dive (or to do anything else, for that matter) welcome back. We now want to apply the bet365 house edge or vig to our decimal odds, which we will then convert to American odds and compare to their opening market.
We recall the opening odds of Yankees -135, Red Sox +114. We can convert to implied probabilities as follows:
And then sum them to arrive at our overround (𝕆). This is actually as far as we have to go:
Once we divide our fair odds by the overround (𝕆), we will see them reflected as they would have been if bet365 applied their house edge to the probabilities produced by our model.
As a reminder of where we are in this spreadsheet before showing these last four calculations:
At this point, we just need to convert from decimal odds to American. We will designate the American odds produced by the nth iteration as:
As is the case when converting between implied probabilities and American odds, we will need two separate equations here, one for the favorite and one for the underdog. The general forms are as follows:
Thus, we have:
To step back and take stock on what we’ve done thus far:
First, we used our Monte Carlo Simulation and the SABR formula to generate two win probabilities for both of our teams:
Next, we set out to find the weights,
…that, when respectively applied to the relevant winning probabilities, would most closely resemble those implied by bet365’s opening odds,
We set out to iterate through multiple attempts at finding the proper weights. In the first trial, we used a random number generator to produce values for
…to produce the first pair of weighted winning probabilities:
Those were then converted into decimal odds, to which a house edge was applied via our discussion on overround (𝕆), before finally converting to American odds.
At this point, we want to iterate through this process an arbitrarily large number of times, N. The neighborhood of 10⁴ < N < 10⁵ feels roughly correct for this use case, sample size, and number of features, but we will use 10³ in order to keep our file small enough for everyone to download and play with.
We can quickly aggregate some summary statistics:
Since we have defined:
…we know the weights are perfectly correlated and thus only one requires inspection in our analysis.
If we sort our trial table by the American odds, which have had the house edge applied, we can focus on those that yielded odds in a narrower range (i.e. one closer to our desired output). Perhaps, for example, we want to focus on weightings that yielded odds on the Yankees moneyline between -130 and -140, inclusive. When we do this, and recalculate our summary statistics, we see the following:
We quickly notice that values in the range of
…produce the output we are looking for.
Recall that =RAND() produces values greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1. We now know that we are only interested in about 25% of this range, and thus that we must be wasting some of our precious computational power and valuable time.
So, we now want to run through this process again, but rather than using a random number generator that produces weights between 0% and 100%, let’s use one that only produces weights between 69% and 93%, inclusive.
When it comes to integers, this is always easy, not only in Excel but in many common programming languages. In Excel, for example, if we wanted random integers between 69 and 93, we would use the function =RANDBETWEEN(69,93). Unfortunately, for decimal values, we need a slightly more complicated function.
One common method for generating random decimal values between X and Y is to use
…which will return X when RAND()=0, return Y when RAND()=1, and values in between otherwise. Though this syntax is specific to Excel, a similar workaround is generally applicable to most programming languages.
For our purposes, we will again generate 10³ (or 10⁴ or 10⁵) random values, but they will all be between 0.69 and 0.93:
We can continue this process until we feel we have a narrow enough range. In Excel, we can use the Filter function to select only rows where the Yankees moneyline is -135, and also where the Boston moneyline is 114. This quickly compresses our range, and allows us to hone in on our optimal weight.
We quickly see that in fact…
At this point, given the limitations of this highly simplified model, we should be happy with our progress. Next steps would include backtesting, paper trading, sensitivity analysis, and, of course, adding more features.
One other popular analytical technique that only relies on Runs Scored and Runs Against data is called Pythagorean Expectation, which states that:
I have laid the groundwork for adding this feature to the model, but left the hard work to anyone who is interested in playing around.
Automation & Machine Learning
If the process of iteratively generating arrays of random numbers and manually narrowing their range feels onerous and susceptible to human error, you’re not alone. The reason I chose to spend my time writing and ask you to spend your time reading that section, is because this framework and approach is very similar to the way in which Machine Learning Engineers build artificial neural networks, even if substantially oversimplified. Specifically, this begins to resemble gradient descent, the optimization technique that underlies a great deal of the Machine Learning framework.
To understand the power of automating a process like the one we just underwent, especially in the face of increasingly-large data sets, we can use an Excel Add-In called Solver. Solver is not a form of Machine Learning per se, but absolutely is a form of automation that makes use of optimization techniques on which many machine learning engines are built.
If you do not see Solver as an option in your Excel toolbar, you may have to quickly enable it manually by navigating to File > Options > Add-ins and then selecting “Excel Add-ins” next to “Manage” before hitting Go, and then checking the box next to the Solver Add-in
I have created a macro and assigned it to a button that will run Solver for us, but we can do this manually as well. Typically, one navigates to Data > Solver and then sees the following window:
We can set our objective as the American Odds w/ Juice for the New York Yankees, in this workbook located at H3 on the Master worksheet. We will set this to a ValueOf -135, which are the opening American odds in the bet365 market that we were optimizing toward. Finally, we will do this by changing variable cell D9, which is the weight being placed on the Monte Carlo simulation output.
The detail-oriented reader may ask what the deal is with the various solving methods available in the drop-down, currently occupied by “GRG Nonlinear” and that would be a fair curiosity to explore. The Solver Add-In actually comes with three approaches to optimization based on the nature of the problem being solved. Generally, the breakdown of use cases is as follows:
GRG Nonlinear — Most commonly used for smooth, nonlinear problems; finds local optimum solutions.
Simplex LP — Typically used for solving linear problems.
Evolutionary — Used when solving complex, non-smooth, non-linear problems
For our purposes, with this particular data set and model, there will likely be little noticeable difference, and GRG Nonlinear should perform almost identically to Simplex LP. As we scale and build out our model, we may need to reassess this if we wish to continue using solver. Regardless, it should help illustrate the value of beginning to automate the process of optimization itself.
Machine Learning is a framework of which neural networks are a subset. Using them, we can train a model like the one we built, that is able to look across tens of thousands of matchups and factor in hundreds or thousands of different features, and autonomously iterate through the process to find a value for the weights for our two win probability models, and any other variables that don’t only produce the desired output for this event, but for as many as possible within a decision space.
Machine Learning is quickly revolutionizing every aspect of predictive analytics and taking the gaming industry by storm. Not only are quantitative models used for setting odds, but also for risk management, KYC/AML controls, responsible gaming, and a host of other functions. These are all areas in which experience using AI toolkits combined with sports gaming industry knowledge are growing increasingly valuable.
A Note to Fans & Casual Bettors
Over the next few years, a quickly-growing number of sports fans will want analytics and research to play an increasingly-large role in their sports betting, fantasy sports, and other related behaviors. Using a data-driven approach not only allows for the opportunity to identify profitable patterns, but is also the single most powerful tool in remaining disciplined and keeping emotion out of the decision-making process.
What anyone who has already attempted this will tell you is that it is very, very, very difficult. Even in the world of difficult math problems that quantitative analysts are often solving, creating a model that predicts sporting events with greater accuracy than those that have been refined over decades in Vegas, London, and elsewhere, is extremely hard to do. This, among other reasons, is why we should exercise extreme caution when someone is trying to advertise a system under which we pay them for the picks that their model produces. I discussed this issue in detail in an exposé I wrote on a particularly high-profile entity engaged in such a business, which has since been revealed to be a fairly spectacular failure, at least in part because of the difficulty we are discussing here.
A number of tech companies have set out to capitalize on the business opportunity presented by this dynamic, not only offering consumers a more accessible platform for conducting such research, but also providing sportsbook operators with mechanisms for connecting with prospective customers who are much farther down the conversion funnel than your average sports fan.
The coming decade should be a time of incredible growth, investment, and innovation in the US sports gaming market, and analytics are likely to permeate every corner of that trajectory.

Week 15 Play or Pine #NFL #NFLUK #IDP #DST #Kickersmatter #PlayorPine #wherestheD
|
Are you in? No doubt about it, the majority of leagues have entered the playoffs with the Chiefs winning a thriller against the Chargers. Now we are onto 4 days of NFL games… hopefully. Make sure to have a plan in case a game does not happen.
Week 15 PLAYS
D/ST — The Philadelphia Eagles were set to have a great week coming off a bye. They are likely playing against backups at several positions with 2 weeks of preparation. The Eagles could fly into a playoff spot with a win, look for their defense to dominate.
The plan was to pencil players, AT THE DRAFT, for the specific Week 15 matchup of Arizona Cardinals vs Detroit Lions. The consensus was the Lions would be bad, and they have lived up to it. The Cardinals are suddenly in 3rd place in the conference and will be looking for a bounce back game against the tamed lions.
Also: Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys
Kickers — Matt Gay (LAR) may have to kick and carry his team to a victory on the road. The entire reason the madness of this week is happening is largely due to the Rams’ volume of players that are inactive. This benefits Gay against a Seahawks defense that allows yards, but buckles down in their own Redzone. Some people’s entire season pivoted on Gay’s field goal against the Jaguars after a penalty, on a meaningless last minute drive… Look for him to keep the momentum going for his Fantasy GMs.
Mike Badgley (IND) could see several field goals on Saturday night. The Patriots are stout against the run, but each team will want to control the pace of this game. Should the Colts defense give Jones grief, Badgley will be there to benefit.
Also: Matt Prater (ARI), Jake Elliott (PHI)
Defensive Linemen — DeForest Buckner (IND) against a tough Patriots O-Line could cause some to panic. Don’t. He will be looking to make a statement as he has risen to the occasion on multiple big games. Look for him to have 5+ tackles/assist, and possibly a forced fumble or sack.
Emmanuel Ogbah (MIA) is primed to feast on the awful Jets offensive line. He has 6 sacks, 19 QB Hits, 9 Passes Defended, and 1 Forced Fumble. Look for him to add to his big play stat total this week.
Also: Jeffery Simmons (TEN), Trey Hendrickson (CIN)
Linebackers — Jordan Hicks (ARI) has been featured in Play or Pine numerous times, and was the LB 2 two years ago. He has moved himself into LB12, and will be making big plays for the Cardinals, tackling anything running his way. A full stat line is happening again.
Jerome Baker (MIA) was mentioned pre-season in this article as a LB that could win championships in pivotal weeks. He has had a lack of big plays, which has hurt his production. He earned 6 of his 66 tackles against the Jets, and also earned a QB hit. Look for more tackles and the big play to happen this week.
Also: De’Vondre Campbell (GB), Matt Judon (NE), Bobby Okereke (IND)
Defensive Backs — Darius Slay (PHI) could continue his amazing IDP TD season against who knows at QB. The Eagles should dominate and Slay will be there to make the interception, or scoop up the fumble and take it to the house.
Desmond King (HOU) is likely available in your league, he has a favorable matchup against the Jaguars. Trevor has been off target, but short quick passes could mean more tackles for King, with a chance for an interception.
Also: Logan Ryan (NYG), Jessie Bates (CIN)
WEEK 14 PINES
D/ST — The Cleveland Browns have been reliable but you can not count on back ups to succeed against a QB as talented as Carr. Look elsewhere this week as everything will be out of rhythm for the Browns. The New Orleans Saints have the 6th best D/ST for fantasy, however they deserve to be pined this week against the red hot Bucs.
Kickers — Graham Gano (NYG) and Chase McLaughlin (CLE) deserve to be dropped as you will lean on kickers in late December to get double digit points. Look at the Plays for production.
Defensive Linemen — Kenny Clark (GB) and Jadeveon Clowney (CLE) are both on COVID protocol. Dre’Mont Jones (DEN) is doubtful, a huge blow to the Broncos Defense and fantasy GMs that have him. He had 36 points in the past 2 weeks, but you must look elsewhere.
Linebackers — Kamu Grugier-Hill (HOU) has been a waiver wire worthy of best waiver wire scoop of the year. He has COVID this week so stash him on your IR. Denzel Perryman (LV) is out again, but lets hold onto him one more week. Azeez Al-Shaair (SF) is doubtful and Logan Wilson (CIN) is out.
Defensive Backs — Antonie Winfield Jr. (TB) has not logged a practice all week and must be monitored. Even if he does play the Saints will not be passing much. Jordan Fuller and Jalen Ramsey (LAR), as well as Kendall Fuller and Kamren Curl (WAS) are all on COVID protocol and must be watched.
Let’s go conquer the week! We did not go through 2 months of preparing for the draft, over 3 months of in play season, to lose the first week of the playoffs! Be focused, Be Lucky, and hit me up with any fantasy or betting questions at iggysfantasyandbetting.com

Average Joe’s vs. Globo Gym: What should the odds have been?
|
Starting lineups for the championship
Odds for the Championship Match
Now it’s time to investigate the price that was egregiously miscalculated by the bookmakers in the movie. Heading into the championship match, Average Joe’s was +5000 to win it all, making the Globo Gym Purple Cobras -10000 (presumably). This means, after winning four straight, the oddsmakers were still only giving Average Joe’s a 1.96% chance.
In the previous section we established the Average Joe’s suspect entry into the tournament and their low seed. We also gave them a few points back for their well-regarded and knowledgable, but also deranged coach Patches O’Houlihan. We also introduced a strong motivation factor, which we know will drive bettors to the windows and kiosks. Given all this information, we assigned Average Joe’s a pre-tournament price of 60–1.
Now we have four more games worth of information to incorporate into our price, as well as the fact that Average Joe’s only need to win one more game instead of five.
Average Joe’s had its back against the wall in its first game vs. Team Blitzkrieg, then again in its fourth match vs. the Poughkeepsie State Flying Cougars. It showed vulnerability early in both matches but rallied back with plenty of heart and perseverance. In between those matches Joe’s faced the Lumberjacks and my personal favorite team: Skillz That Killz. Cotton McKnight said Average Joe’s “had their work cut out for them facing the Lumberjacks”, so given that and their lopsided victory we can assume this would go a long way in shortening Joe’s championship odds. Skillz That Killz, on the other hand, was “looking past the Average Joes” and “doing more dancing than dodgeballing”, so we might not be able to gain much insight from this win.
That brings us to the Globo Gym Purple Cobras, who showed less than zero vulnerability on their road to the championship. They handily defeated every team they went up against, as they were predicted to do as one of the assumed top seeds in the tournament. Also, their secret weapon, Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky aka the deadliest woman on earth with a dodgeball, literally killed a guy in the bar with a throw. They don’t fuck around.
There’s also one more thing we need to consider before coming up with a price for this game… the effect of Patches O’Houlihan, who tragically died after being crushed by two tons of irony.
The death of a coach is difficult to quantify, but given the team’s lack of dodgeball experience and O’Houlihan’s prodigal wisdom of the game we have to assume he meant the world to the team. The “win for your coach” motivation factor isn’t quite enough to offset the material loss of one of the sharpest dodgeball minds we’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing. This one hurts Joe’s and its probability of winning. I also don’t think this has much of an effect on public betting, as emotional bettors will be split: half betting on a team to win for its coach while the other half bets against the team whose coach just died under a “Luck of the Irish” sign.
I’d open this moneyline at Globo Gym -1000, Average Joe’s +750. That’s a margin of roughly 2.67%, by the way. That’s low, but given the high profile nature of the match and the volume of wagers on it, it’s perfectly reasonable.
I don’t, however, think that’s what the closing odds would be. I think the public would be all over Average Joe’s, and as risk adds up the line would move to roughly +480 (and -600 for Globo Gym). That’s a 17.2% chance to win the match, roughly 10.5x the pre-tourney probability. Sharps would’ve hammered the favorite in this competition, but I’d be okay with that since it would offset some of the public risk on Average Joe’s.
Average Joe’s +480, Globo Gym Purple Cobras -600
I think that’s much more reasonable than Average Joe’s 50–1, don’t you?

NFL WEEK 15 — Saturday Night Football
|
Ooooh, some Saturday Night football! Love it! Just one game tonight as the Raiders v Browns game as been moved to Monday Night. Picks, Plays and Evaluation from me below. Enjoy!
8:15 PM ET
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (-2.5) ; O/U 45.5
Model Z Projection: NE -4.5, 48.46 Total
Straight Up Pick: New England Patriots
Spread Pick: NE +2.5⭐⭐
O/U Pick: Under 45.5⭐
Zack’s Plays:
- Stevenson over 70.5 Rushing yards (-110)
- Bourne over 17.5 longest reception (-110)
- Bourne over 39.5 receiving yards (-110)
- Wentz over 9.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
- Pittman under 54.5 receiving yards (-110)
- Henry over 2.5 receptions (-110)
- NE ML (+120)
- Zack’s “Quick” Rundown: With the current rescheduling's, starting tonight, 8 of the next 10 days will have NFL Football. That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Now, for this matchup, we got a good one! The Patriots are 1st in Points allowed and the Colts are 3rd in Points scored, so something has to give. The model (NE -4.5) says the wrong team is favored here, and I agree. If you’ve been doubting the Patriots, you’ve been wrong. And if you like to bet against them, you’ve probably been sleeping on the couch. They’ve won and covered in 7 straight games 😲. Yes, NE RB1 Harris is out, but RB2 Stevenson has proved that he can step in with no problem. I credit FB Jakob Johnson for alot of the Patriots run game success by the way. Outside of NE RB Harris and IND C Kelly, the inactive report isn’t too bad for either side. I ultimately think the Patriots keep it going tonight, Belichick works his magic and takes out Jonathan Taylor with their stout run defense (1st in Rushing TDs allowed), and Mac gets the job done like he always does. Patriots moneyline and the Under for me, with some good games by Stevenson and Kendrick Bourne.
Just as an FYI because I find it helpful, top 5PFF-graded players by position rank are below.
PATRIOTS — FB Johnson (FB2 [of 7]), OT Onwenu (OT3), OG Mason (OG3), S Phillips (S3) and C Andrews (C6)
COLTS — RB Taylor (RB4), OT Smith (OT6), LB Leonard (LB7), TE Doyle (TE11) and RB Hines (RB19)
Faceoff: 9–2 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
QB: NE 13TH / IND 18TH
RB: NE 23RD / IND 2ND
WR: NE 20TH / IND 22ND
TE: NE 9TH / IND 14TH
OL: NE 2ND / IND 14TH
IDL: NE 20TH / IND 11TH
EDGE: NE 13TH / IND 18TH
LB:NE 6TH / IND 3RD
CB: NE 10TH / IND 14TH
S: NE 4TH/ IND 27TH
OVERALL: NE 7TH / IND 12TH

Online Sports Betting Tips You Need to Know
|
Sports betting is something that is enjoyed by people all around the world. Depending on where you live, there is a wide variety of sports that you may be able to bet on. Some of the most popular include baseball, basketball, football, and golf. Some people bet on sports just for fun, but there are those who bet on these games to make money.
These are professional bettors who have turned what many enjoy in their past time into a profitable business. This is by no name an easy feat, and many people will spend countless hours a day in and day out trying to find out at NGSBahis mobile giris what their secret is that gives them a constant winning rate on the games they bet and win on. If you’d like your chance at improving your odds, then there are a few very crucial sports betting tips you need to know about sports betting.
There is a huge difference between the mindset of those who bet on sports for fun and professional sports bettors. The majority of people bet on sports because they love the rush of blood and excitement that they get knowing that they have money to bet on a game.
Their mind is clouded with how much they might win or how much they stand to lose. To them, it is something they do for fun. It is a hobby, just like betting on the lottery once a week. This mindset is probably the biggest flaw in how most people approach sports betting. They treat the entire process of betting as a game, just like a child does when playing cops and robbers with his or her friend. Possibly the biggest sports betting tip there is that you need to change the way you think and approach betting, no matter the type of game you bet on. It is much more than just a game.
The first sports betting tip anyone should know is that the key to winning is how you approach betting in general. Professional sports bettors think and act completely differently from how most people do when betting. The way in which they approach betting is much like how a successful business owner runs a business.
Even before they place a bet, they make sure they are completely familiar with the game. They have almost internalized every aspect of the sport. It is in their blood and almost second nature. However, it goes far beyond just this.
Professional bettors always do their homework. Many people simply pick a team that has a name they like and place their bet. Professional bettors make sure they do their background work and they know as much as they can about not only the teams that are playing but their past performance and how factors such as weather may impact a team’s performance.
Put simply, they do their homework and treat betting much like you should run a business. You leave emotions and happy thoughts at the door. You are betting to win, so you must do everything possible to make sure that you are stacking the odds on your side and not against yourself.
If you want to take your sports betting to the next level and increase your odds of making constant money, then consider changing how you think of and approach sports betting in general. The best sports betting tip anyone can know is that betting needs to be treated like a business.
Do as much research and background checking on the teams involved and their history and leave your emotions at the door. By doing this, sports betting can not only be enjoyable but also very profitable.

How To Read Market Structures In Forex
|
It’s every traders’ aim to make a sensible judgment call to maximize the number of times one picks the right side of the market, isn’t that true? We then must combine it with a high enough risk-reward to enter what I call ‘the sweet spot’ in trading. In simple terms, that’s our jobs as traders, therefore, it’s plausible to think that discerning the dominant cycle should come high on the list as a major piece of the puzzle before you engage in a trade, right?
In this tutorial, I will walk you through how to read these cycles, which go by the name of “market structure”. My mission would be to provide a frame of reference for you to properly interpret the ever-evolving ebbs and flows under any market condition. For some traders, this guide will be enlightening, while to others it may not tick. Remember, this is just one angle to analyze the market, and by no means the only one, but it serves the purpose of providing that much-needed structure in an otherwise chaotic context.
You will be able to approach the charts in a mechanical way to constantly be in tune with the right context at play, which in its simplest form, comes down to trade trends or ranges. If you respect this model of reading the charts, I can assure you that you will be ticking yet another critical box when it comes to developing a solid analytical expertise when trading. As a result, it will allow you to pick locations to trade off for a low risk and potentially high reward.
The ABCs Of Market Structure
The first principle is the most obvious one, and it states that for a market to be in an active cycle, it’s most recent structure must be one where price prints a high that breaks the previous high (in the case of a bullish cycle). On the flip side, a down-cycle will be established if the latest swings low in price breaks below the most recent low. In this hourly chart below, you can clearly see the EUR/USD in a down-cycle phase on lower lows and lower highs.
Minimum Of Two Closes Beyond Last High/Low
To confirm that a bearish trend or down-cycle is evolving in a healthy manner, not only we need to see the low printed being lower than its previous low, but we also should expect at least two closes beyond that low or support area as further evidence that the market is accepting and building value. Failure to print at least two closes may be a precursor to what’s often referred as head-fake or false breakout, and while the move still holds its merit to qualify as a new low in the cycle, the quality of the leg is poor in nature.
Don’t Lose Sight Of The Forest For The Trees
You must, by all means, avoid the trap of being short-sighted by only sticking to one chart analysis. When conducting your market structure studies, it’s all about building a thesis about a particular direction by finding concurrence from higher time frames down to your trading time frame.
Personally, I wouldn’t recommend using more than 3 charts as your reference or you may suffer from so-called “analysis paralysis”. What this means is that if you are going to find an entry trigger off the hourly, you should then understand what type of conditions are dominant in the immediately higher time frames. The most popular in this case would be the 4h and daily charts.
As I illustrate below, notice how all timeframes in the EUR/USD align with the down-cycle? Wouldn’t you think that trading in a context endorsed by traders from higher time frames adds to your odds of picking the direction the market is most likely to head to in your trading timeframe?
A mechanical rule to apply is the following: If the price in the timeframe immediately above your trading timeframe (the H4 or Daily if trading H1) reaches the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the last valid swing, the position should not be in conflict of the direction of the higher timeframe.
Developing Rules to Validate Cycles
This is a key point that often gets overlooked by market participants by letting too much guessing play a role. When analyzing the charts, how do we determine what constitutes a relevant swing high/low? We need to find a mechanical approach that will allow us to qualify what we understand by relevant swing highs or swing lows in the chart.
As a general rule, if a swing low/high doesn’t make it to at least the 50% retracement of its previous swing, you want to disregard that price movement as not relevant enough to constitute a valid leg. After all, why would you want to consider a leg that originates from a low which doesn’t even make it to the 50% retracement as a point of interest relevant enough? The lack of bounce should be a testament that communicates poor buy-side flows. We only want to focus on the creation of relevant and valid legs that will lead to new cycles and create in the process relevant levels of supports and resistances.
A nuance to apply includes the following premise: If the bounce or pullback from the last valid low or high is greater than the average daily range (if trading the hourly) or 3 times the average daily range (if trading the daily), we will also have the pre-conditions to validate the last swing.
Trendlines: A Visual Representation Of The Cycles
Did you notice in the hourly EUR/USD example how I ignored a higher high printed? Now compare it with another illustration below where it’s drawn — blue circle — with the two closes above supposedly confirming a new up-cycle, right? However, if you were to think about a potential reason why buyers failed so miserably on the attempt, you wouldn’t go wrong if you are thinking about the conflict against higher time frames (pointing down). However, there is another rule of thumb you must incorporate. If on a downtrend we make a higher high as in the case of the EUR/USD, but this high fails to break the descending trendline, be extremely cautious as more often than not, it can easily lead to a quick reversal in line with the dominant cycle. The power of a trendline lies not only in its capacity to provide an entry trigger but as a blueprint to help you understand the type of dominant market flows and potential locations to engage upon your own models.
Transitions: From Trends To Ranges
We’ve come to the point in the market structure where the dominant flows start drying up due to increased profit-taking, change in ebbs and flows due to removals of liquidity, intervention by market-makers, economic data-driven moves, etc. While in a down-cycle, the interpretation of the chart is straightforward, when is it that we can say with certainty that we’ve transitioned from a trend into a consolidation?
In the case of the EUR/USD hourly chart, firstly, we must see a failed test of a valid low (Oct 5th). Secondly, a recovery above the 50% fib retracement of the most recent swing high would confirm that we have entered a consolidation phase, which would last until the most recent valid high or low is broken, with at least two closes above/below the level.
In this context, don’t forget that the consolidation is within the context of a down-cycle not only in the higher time frames but also on the hourly. Until buyers manage to break and hold above the latest valid swing high, which doesn’t occur, the risk remains to the downside.
Magnitude Of The Cycle
Another major clue that will help us determine the health of the cycle is the type of progress made by the dominant side in control of the cycle. In this section of the analysis, we need to ask the following question: Are the new legs in the cycle increasing or decreasing in magnitude? Despite having entered a period of consolidation in the EUR/USD hourly chart, the latest swing low, if we were to measure its extension from the last high to the newly established low, saw a slide worth 128 pips vs the previous leg down, which only achieved a move of 120 pips. This carries an important message: The most recent flows communicate that sellers are increasing its commitment on each new cycle low (greater supply imbalances), therefore, this is yet another clue that the risk should stay skewed to the downside.
Velocity Of The Cycle
When it comes to the distance the price moves, the magnitude is only ½ the equation. The other ½ has to do with the velocity of the move or the speed. Was the new leg created after a fast and impulsive move? Or did price make a new low or high with the movement being sluggish, compressive and taking too long to form? A good rule of thumb is to count the number of candles it took to achieve a new leg. In the illustration below, you can see how it took 21 hourly bars to achieve 120 pips vs 18 bars to net 128 pips. Bottom line: The cycle continues to prosper in a healthy manner.
Projection: Targets In A New Cycle
By far, the most accurate measure I have found to set targets (partial or full take profits) when trading cycles is to measure the 100% fibonacci projection from the most recent valid swing high to its low. Note, there will be enough cases when events outside one’s control will cause prices to fluctuate erratically and not achieve these targets. Don’t forget to also factor in potential hurdles in the form of higher time frame support/resistance areas. You should see these levels as simple guides but far from certain outcomes. If the cycle continues in the expected direction, you will start to appreciate the power and usefulness of these targets to consider taking profits or trailing stops in hope of an ever larger yield in your trade.
In the case of the EUR/USD, notice how the target at 1.1510 was reached almost to the pip before sellers took profit? As the market structure stands, upon a breakout confirmation of the range, the first target should come at 1.1419, while a breakout and confirmation of a new cycle low by two closes sub 1.1467 suggests a larger projected target of 1.1430, which would come within striking distance of the target 1.1355 based on the range breakout. I’ve drawn in a red rectangle where these targets come at. It is at these levels where one should expect a potential exhaustion of the downward cycle.
Cluster Of Levels Nearby
Another must-do exercise for every trader to perform is to draw the most immediate lines of support and resistance — at least 2 up and 2 down — based on a top-down analysis. They should be obvious to spot.
The considerations to be given when selecting these areas include the number of times the area has been tested (minimum of 2 times), type of reaction away from this area (the stronger the more relevant), time frame (the higher the timeframe the more significant the level is). Below you can find an example in the EUR/USD, where I’ve drawn the two most immediate levels of support and resistance in the daily and H4. What this means is that if you are going to find trades off the H1 chart, you must be aware that once the price reaches these areas in the higher time frames, a potential disturbance of the structure in your trading time frame (H1 in our example) may occur, hence you must be prepared by anticipating this potential outcome. The mark up of levels in your chart allows you to do precisely that, to expect a potential turnaround.
Additionally, the clusters of levels from your trading timeframe must also be marked. If you’ve followed me this far, you will by now understand that a new cycle would be confirmed if we can break and have two hourly closes outside the range, right? However, what if we break the current range but we are faced with another recent low immediately ahead as in the case of the EUR/USD (example below) at 1.1465? If the distance is relatively narrow — about 15/20 pips in the EUR/USD — a safer approach is to wait until a breakout of the most distant level in that cluster of support areas, which would be two closes beyond 1.1465 to confirm the down cycle. Essentially, when this situation occurs, what you probably want to do is to expand the size of the range by that extra 15–20 pips and wait for a resolution outside. Note, the 15–20p in the EUR/USD is just a personal preference. You can work out your own personal magic range based on the ADR of the pairs you are trading.
How To Trade Market Cycles
The real power lies in the congruence of factors from a top-down approach, aiming to have as many aligning in your favor as possible. In the example of the EUR/USD exercise, the down cycle in the hourly had the backing of the H4 and daily cycles as well, which undoubtedly reinforces the chances of picking the right direction to trade. Now, does this mean that the bearish market structure in the hourly will be respected? Not at all. Remember that each individual trade is just a random event within the context of an exploitable edge. However, by conducting the proper market structure analysis, you do obtain that edge in terms of the location to engage that can offer a relatively low-risk entry for a potentially much larger yield.
So, how can you go about trading these cycles?
First and foremost, assuming you are trading off the hourly chart, you want to make sure to trade also in line with at least the immediately higher timeframe cycle (H4), and ideally both (daily and H4). You also want to double-check that the hourly market structure is trending as per the rules of two closes beyond the last valid swing low/high to confirm a new leg in the cycle. It’s important that you then check the absence of nearby cluster levels from higher time frames or economic data releases that may disturb the structure. Next is to make sure that the price remains guided by a descending or ascending trendline. Lastly, and this point is key, pay attention to both the magnitude and the speed on the creation of a new cycle.
As a general rule, regardless of the type of cycle, I personally don’t see enough risk-reward value if one engages ahead of a 50% fib retracement. If we are in a healthy cycle with lower lows, decent magnitude moves and no obstruction of higher timeframe levels, it makes the 50% fib retracement a great location to start looking for trades based on your ideal entry technique. Some traders may prefer to set limit orders at this levels with a stop a few pips away from the most recent high/low (this approach would make the most sense if the underlying trendline is still respected). Others may prefer a confirmation trigger such as the break of a trendline, a particular pattern (pennant, triangle) or a specific price action formation such as engulfing bars, pin bars.
Whichever way you approach your trades, it should nonetheless be from having an inner peace of mind that the area you are looking to trade from holds value on the basis of decent risk-reward prospects. Alternatively, and this is subject to one’s discretion, I personally remain more cautious to enter at the 50% fib retrac and tend to wait for either the 78.6% fib retrac or a test of the previous valid swing low/high in the case that we had a break but we never confirmed the cycle by having two closes past the level. If the cycle is confirmed but the magnitude is nowhere close to what would qualify as healthy, be more cautious trading around the 50% (wait for trigger).
Personally, a great pattern for a potentially large risk-reward is to be on the lookout to trade a retracement to at least the 78.6% Fibonacci within the context of a strong and healthy cycle. This trades tend to offer the most bang for your buck, even if you must be patient for them to come about.
Examples/
How To Trade Ranges
When the price starts trading confined in a box or consolidation phase, we know this is a period of reassessment before the next directional move. Unless a breakout occurs, the only area where you really want to engage as part of a range include the upper or lower edge. A useful exercise to conduct every time the price fluctuates within a range is to draw a 50% fib retracement, and start to observe what side of the range the price spends the most time at. Is is the lower half or the higher half? The side where price usually spends the most time tends to be the most vulnerable for a price breakout. See below a recent example when the EUR/USD entered a range between Sept 21–28. Notice how the attempts to trade above the 50% fib retracement of the range were consistently rejected while price would accept below?
Conclusion
By now you’ve hopefully come to grips about the importance to keep your charts neat and clean, away from unnecessary indicators while embracing the power of reading market structures in a proper way. You have also gained enough knowledge to ultimately, through your own analysis based on a rules-based approach, find these low-risk areas to enter trades.
While some degree of subjectivity will always be required, this tutorial offers you a roadmap from which to find the order within the chaos. You must become the primary conductor of your own orchestra as the forex symphony keeps playing. The right interpretation of market cycles will allow you to make sense of the music being played at all possible levels.

USDCHF Intermediate Triple Zigzag Likely To Complete Cycle Wave x Near 0.904
|
The current USDCHF structure indicates that at the end of November, the market completed the actionary wave y of the cycle degree. A cycle intervening wave x followed after the actionary wave.
Judging by the internal structure, the cycle intervening wave x can take the form of a primary double zigzag Ⓦ-Ⓧ-Ⓨ. The actionary wave Ⓦ and the intervening wave Ⓧ in the form of a triple zigzag could already be complete.
In the near future, the market could decline in the final wave Ⓨ. The initial part of the wave Ⓨ hints at a triple zigzag of the intermediate degree. So, we could observe a zigzag drop in the price in the sub-waves (Y)-(X)-(Z) to the level of 0.904. There, wave x will be at 76.4% of wave y.
After wave x ends, the bulls can update the previous high of 0.938, with wave z going up. This level is marked by intervening wave y.
An alternative scenario hints at a price increase. Specifically, the formation of the cycle intervening wave x is fully completed. And it has the form of a triple zigzag of the primary degree.
After the end of the reactionary intervening wave x, there was a price rise and the development of the cycle wave z. This could take the form of a primary double zigzag Ⓦ-Ⓧ-Ⓨ.
It seems that an intermediate triple zigzag formed within wave Ⓦ and the intervening wave Ⓧ. In turn, this took the form of a double zigzag (W)-(X)-(Y).
In the near future, the exchange rate may rise in the intermediate zigzag (A)-(B)-© to the level of 0.951. At that point, cycle waves z and y will be equal.

|
Website | Twitter | Telegram | Discord | Github | Medium
The DFX team spent 2021 building out the core AMM product and enabling efficient swaps between non-USD stablecoins. We’ve built a foundation that enables us to grow the ecosystem and provide utility to stablecoins of all currencies. 2022 will be the year of growth, integrations and expansion. We look forward to working with our community to make this possible. We are still very early in our journey and there are still so many things we want to build out for this ecosystem. We can’t wait to make 2022 the year of all stablecoins!
In 2022, we’ll have a particular focus on some of the following items. However, there is no guarantee any of these will pan out as the ecosystem moves and changes so rapidly, the plans laid out now can change in a few months as we adapt to the ever changing crypto environment. We hope the work below, shows how we’re thinking about DFX and where it will be heading in the future.
Innovation zone: Test out new concepts and enable DFX to experiment with new ideas without impacting the core product.
Exchange listings: DFX will be active in working with centralized exchanges in the new year. We want to work with strategic exchange partners to enlist not only DFX getting listed, but all the stablecoins we support in our ecosystem. This can be a massive win-win situation for CEXs and DFX.
Create more use cases for non-USD stablecoins: Work with ecosystem partners to develop lending/borrowing markets, leveraged products to get additional exposure to other currencies, and more! If you have an idea that builds on top of DFX, please let us know and we can definitely look into it.
Institutional grade product: Create a product that enables large institutions to move/trade/settle stablecoins cross-border 24/7. The product will leverage the core mechanics in the DFX AMM but will be tailored for institutional users and requirements.
On/off Ramp aggregator: One of the main advantages of using fiat-backed stablecoins is the natural on/off ramp they come with. We want to be able to aggregate and enable users to have a one stop shop to mint/redeem stablecoins as easily as possible.

How to Read Volume Profile Structures
|
What Is Volume Profile?
There are two ways of observing the total volume transactions in any market. As a spot forex trader, you can tap into tick volumes as an accurate visual representation of the total traded volume in the X-axis, which would then make your analysis be based on time.
Alternatively, you can carry out your volume study through the vertical Y-axis, in which case, you are analyzing the total activity based on price levels. It is this latter study what volume profile is about; it’s a histogram of the amounts bought and sold at specific price levels as opposed to specific times.
The volume profile allows any trader to evaluate the market context to keep track of the never-ending auction process. That’s what a market is at the end of the day, a constant negotiating process to find equilibrium/agreement (via the accumulation of transactions at a certain level), and the ones that were perceived too cheap or too expensive (no volume found). The art of reading volume profile is all about studying the anatomy of the market auctions.
Before taking things to the next level, allow me to walk you through some basics. When drawing your volume profile in the chart, you must become intimately familiar with the following values:
1. Point of Control (PoC): It refers to the area in the chart with the most traded volume activity. This is by far the most relevant area you want to monitor as it can help to define the placement of your stops or the areas in the chart where you might find the most pristine entry levels. The highest concentrated area of volume for a particular period of time we will call it PoC or Point of Control and you will be surprised how many times it acts as a wall on a retest. Traders tend to factor this in as an area of support or resistance.
2. High Volume Nodes (HVN): Sub-sequences in the chart with high volume activity. While not as powerful nor symbolic as the PoC, the HVN is also a powerful area as it also represents increased trading activity.
3. Value Area (VA): The range of price levels in which a specified percentage of all volume was traded. By default, the industry standards tends to be 70%. Once I explain the principle of the distribution curve below, it will become much clearer why the default number is the 70%, bear with me.
There are three different types of volume profiles to use in your charts. When you first call the volume profile option through the widely popular charting package trading view, the options include:
Fixed Range
Visible Range
Session Volume (Preferred)
I personally find the combination of the daily price action activity and its respective volume flows at specific price levels the most relevant approach as I will demonstrate in the next paragraphs. The session volume allows you to constantly obtain an update to re-evaluate the market, whereas the assessment of the fixed range or the visible range is more discretionary.
That said, the fixed and visible range options also serve as useful tools depending on the purpose of your analysis, that’s why I will also spend some time going through the most valuable benefits of its use.
Fixed Range: Selection Of Interest Levels A La Carte
Trading the markets, especially if you are an intraday trader, involves constant interaction with your charts. You are constantly looking for areas that you can lean against to take certain actions. Right? This first fixed range option allows you to select any area in the chart to deconstruct the total activity. This is a tool that can be of enormous value if you are looking to tighten or trail your stops as well as spotting areas of most interest to enter your positions.
Let’s say that you wanted to play a short in the EUR/USD 30m chart after the breakout of the range. A fairly conventional strategy would have been to wait for the price to break below the two horizontal support levels and enter short on a retest of either one of them. The next logical question would then be, where would you place your stop? If you are trading conservatively, you’d probably be placing your stop somewhere above the 1.16 in order to leave enough wiggle room in case the rebound returns back into the range.
However, if you think about it, there are other areas in the chart that still make a lot of sense to capitalize on. If you were interested in tightening your stop in such a magnitude that your short trade could exploit the prospects of a much larger risk reward, you could then be tapping into the power of the fixed range volume profile to identify at what price level after the range breakout the highest concentration of volume occurred. You could then use this as an area of relevance to assist your action as a seller. In the example, it may have been a great area to play with a much tighter stop.
There is a multitude of examples I could provide about the usefulness of the fixed range volume profile. However, since I want the core of this tutorial to be about the session volume structures, I’d refrain from further chart illustrations unless you want me to (post comments below). I am sure you can figure out how it could be of benefit to you, depending on your trading style.
Visible Range: The Macro View Of The Market
As the name indicates, the visible range option unpacks as much trading activity as data is in your chart. It portrays the big picture view of the most-traded price levels over a specified period of time.
This option is most suited as part of your daily or weekly analysis to spot areas of interest in the chart. By stepping back and projecting an eagle-view from a macro level, it helps you to easily identify key supports and resistances, which is what I mainly suggest to use the visible range for.
One of the most powerful approaches that I recommend is to select your macro areas of interest by zooming out your charts. Once done, you can start drawing horizontal rectangles at every high volume nodes (in black) or low volume node (in red). The areas highlighted will be by far the most relevant that you want to be paying attention going forward.
Session Volume: In Sync w/ The Day-To-Day Context
While the above volume profile options are by themselves very powerful, I refuse to accept that any can beat the ability to be reading the daily auctions.
The auction process in the last 24h of trading provides a roadmap from which to pre-plan your next trading day. If by the end of trading in NY, you are seeking out answers to the questions: What side is in control? Are buyers/sellers accepting higher/lower levels? What side is trapped and therefore has the higher chances of bailing out? All these questions and many more can find an answer via the session volume profile.
Types Of Volume Profile Structures
Single Distribution — Inconclusive Bias
If in the last 24h, the negotiating process ends up with no side in control of the price action, this is represented in the chart by a belly-type curve formation. At the extremes, you can clearly see the tapering of volume, which means an exhaustion of prices amid the lack of sufficient liquidity to find equilibrium. The dynamics of price discovery then suggest that price must revert back to the mean to find new two-way business/acceptance levels.
This structure leads to what’s often referred to as a market in a range. If you think beyond the conventional technical education, the formation of a range is nothing more than the test and failure to agree on higher or lower levels.
The market will constantly be exploring new prices up and down. However, what’s really important is not so much whether or not a level has been tested but the ability by market forces to accept it, thus building value. The thicker the volume on the Y-axis of the histogram, the more value is built as buyers and sellers come to agree on the new area of interest to transact business.
So, let’s tackle the key question. How can we get prepared to trade these structures the following day? Whenever we are presented with a single distribution aka a range, the areas of interest will include the extremes of the range or alternatively, the side in control of the POC (Point of Control).
As the chart below illustrates, the upside edge of the previous day’s single distribution never came even close to be re-rested, but what we did get was a clear rejection off the POC, which then led to a breakout of the range.
In the next example, we have the creation of another single distribution structure. The next day, the price recovers above the POC (red line) and starts to find acceptance with a subsequent backside rejection. That’s a major clue that the resolution of the range-bound conditions might come to a successful conclusion for the interest of the buyers. The moment that in a range the POC starts to act as support or resistance, that’s the first important hint that as a trader you want to pay close attention to gauge the next directional bias.
In the majority of cases, whenever we end up with a single distribution structure, the POC for that day will come nearby the 50 mid-point of the day’s range. This is not a coincidence, as one of the characteristics of the single distribution is its symmetrical structure in line with the principles of the bell or normal distribution curve.
One of the key lessons from the tutorial about the 4 Pillars in Forex included the relevance of the bell curve, which happens to be one of the backbones’s behind statistics and probability theory. It is also essential to understand for you as a trader if you are going to dig deeper into the study of volume profiles.
Remember that one of the natural laws of statistics is that as we increase the repetitious trials of random events that arise from flipping a coin, it results on a more pronounced skewness of results towards the center of the chart or bell shape. This is known as the central limit theorem. This is precisely what’s at play when we see the single distribution structure in volume profile. We have more and more order activity coming through the books with the pre-condition of not creating enough of an imbalance is supply or demand.
As the volume keeps increasing by N = number of times a new order comes in (times someone — human or algos— take a trade), the more pronounced the shape becomes, with the creation of another universal truth in statistics, that is, standard deviations. This states that over 68% of the volume will be accumulated under 1 standard deviation (in blue), while 95% of the volume will come within 2 standard deviations (in red). Now you will understand why the standard market value of a volume profile tends to be 70%.
Multiple Volume Distributions — Directional Flows
It refers to an auction process that creates two or more areas of value via a noticeable volume accumulation in the histogram. In the majority of cases, we will have the creation two distributions, less so a triple distribution structure. In the illustration below, you can find an example of a double distribution day.
As part of the double distribution structures, there are up to 4 subcategories we can classify. Each one of these structures suggests the likelihood of a distinctive price pattern to be expected the next day.
The critical factors that we must account for when evaluating multiple distribution structures include the number of thick areas in the histogram (value built) and the price close. There is a strong dependence on where the price closes by the end of the NY session to evaluate the next day’s play.
Let’s now break down these structures.
Short L-Shape (No Trapped Longs)
Following up with the example of the EUR/USD, in the following 24h, the pricing of the pair created a double distribution structure. As part of this formation, we now need to classify what type of structure it is based on where most of the volume was traded, as depicted by the POC (Point of Control).
On Oct 24, the price spent only a brief period of time before selling-off, leading to a price sequence of low-volume bars through the histogram. As the dust settled, buyers and sellers started to agree on the next level of equilibrium near the lows of the day around the 1.14 area.
This market dynamics are one of the most powerful for an ultimate trend continuation. If we were to decipher the clues behind the auction process, via volume profile, it clearly indicates that the market agrees on the value lower.
The fact that the majority of the volume was accumulated near the lows, and most importantly, with the price closing around the lows of the day near the POC, is a strong statement that the market is not interested in profit-taking.
Therefore, any potential rebound would most likely see sellers committed to adding to their short positions. This is a pattern that runs the risk of resulting in shallow rebounds before the continuation of the trend.
I will also illustrate below what a triple distribution looks like. Here it goes.
If the structure supports a short trade the next day, as in the case of the short L-shape, yet the close at the NY close is considerably above the POC, the prospect of shorts trapped or at least choppier moves the next day increases.
As a rule of thumb, if the price closes above the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the day’s range on a short L-shape, be wary the trend continuation would be more debatable the next day, with risks of a range or a reversal growing.
Another version of the short L-shape is when the daily range is compressed. If that’s the case, even if at first glance it looks like the pair may have entered a range, the actual structure of the volume profile and the close near the lows of the day, suggests the potential for short opportunities the next day.
Short P-Shape (Trapped Longs)
The next day (Oct 25th), the bearish trend in EUR/USD follow its course, but interestingly, the volume profile structure carried a different message. The majority of the value was built to the upside, while the downside saw comparatively lesser activity as depicted by the volume profile (chart below).
All the buyers at the top that facilitated the build-up of value are now trapped, which means that any rebound towards the POC becomes an interesting proposition to add shorts, especially if in line with the underlying trend. Remember, I have written a detailed tutorial on how I determine market structures in case you’d like to check it out.
Unlike the short L-shape, this Short P-shape tends to see a larger rebound as market participants fail to find sufficient two-way business at the bottom. It eventually leads to exhaustion before a potential recovery of the price (the rebound expected) as part of the market’s price discovery mechanism.
When this pattern occurs, any continuation lower without a prior rebound runs the risk of exhausting and trapping late weak-handed sellers, unless there is a significant build-up of value into these newly found lower prices.
Below, I illustrate one of the potential nuances that you may come across. Even if at first sight the structure may suggest a single distribution, the fact that on the upper 50% of the daily range buyers failed so miserably to build any value at all, combined with the price closing at the lows, it screams danger ahead. On closer inspection, this is a pattern that would be more fitting for the short P-shape (trapped longs) category.
That’s the reason why I wanted to add this chart as part of this category. If the close had been towards the middle of the daily range, the outlook the next day may be murkier, but since the short P-shape supports the bearish close, in aggregate it adds to the risk of a downward continuation the next day.
Long L-Shape (Shorts Trapped)
Unlike the previous subcategory, we now find ourselves with a bullish structure forming an L-shape (Oct 19). When this happens, our hypothesis must always be that unless new pockets of liquidity by long-side players are created at these highs, there is an inherited risk by this type of structures for the move to run out of juice (exhaustion), resulting in a deep pullback.
It is in these type of retracements that we may see the best opportunities to engage in buy-side business as the pricing of the pair returns to retest an area where sellers got trapped the previous day.
However, by the end of the next day (Oct 22), notice how the price creates a short L-shape? If you were playing longs off the Oct 19th POC, this type of counter-formation should be a major red flag as the auction process is now communicating a market that is accepting a new valuation lower.
Long P-Shape (No Trapped Shorts)
In this situation, there is a risk of a follow through continuation with the trend right off the bat. By checking the chart example below (Sept 20), this is precisely the case before buyers are overwhelmed by the supply imbalance.
Despite the setback, the context would still be favorable to look for buy-dip opportunities as the latest indications are that both buyers and sellers agreed on higher price levels near 1.18 as the newly found equilibrium.
When these structures occur, the buyers that kept the price bid up this high are not going to give up without a fight, and that’s where the opportunities to buy the dips tend to arise. The next day (Sept 21st), the volume structure results in a short P-shape with longs trapped. Do you remember what I mentioned about this pattern? It tends to create an initial fake-out move that exhausts itself prior to the price being attracted like a magnet back up towards the previous POC (Point of Control), where the next battle is due.
The fade out of price on Sept 21st was also supported by the previous day pattern, which happened to suggest that buyers would still be interested to bid up the price as per the value build around 1.18 the previous day. By keeping track of the most recent volume profile structures, you can undoubtedly add more conviction to your trades the next day.
Putting It All Together
We’ve come to the end of this guide. As I always recommend, take your time to practice the varies concepts and structures shared in this tutorial. Ask yourself if any of these lessons can be of any benefit to your trading approach. Be reminded that you should factor in these new concepts as part of a holistic approach to the markets. If you fail to understand your surroundings by not conducting the proper multi-timeframe studies, you might be missing part of the picture. What if we get a text-book long P-shape structure but it happens to be trading straight into an area of daily or weekly resistance? What if we have a tier 1 event coming up which we know is going to distort the structure? Again, knowing the context is king to apply these concepts with success. If you do it diligently, you will be hard-pressed to put in doubt the usefulness of the volume profile as a tool to decipher the market intentions via price auctions.

Stock Market Corrects Lower as we Approach Year End
|
The US dollar and the other safe-haven currencies, the yen and the franc, traded higher against the other major currencies yesterday and today in Asia, while risk-linked assets corrected lower. With a very light economic agenda, and no major market-specific headlines, it could be the surging COVID cases, or maybe investors are closing their books for the year.
USD AND OTHER SAFE-HAVENS REBOUND, RISKY ASSETS PULL BACK
The US dollar traded higher against all but two of the other major currencies on Tuesday and during the Asian session Wednesday. The currencies against which it failed to eke out any gains were JPY and CHF, with USD/JPY and USD/CHF found virtually unchanged this morning. The greenback strengthened the most versus NZD, CAD, AUD, and EUR.
The strengthening of the US dollar, and the other safe-havens, yen and franc, combined with the weakening of the risk-linked currencies Kiwi, Loonie and Aussie, suggests that markets may have turned to risk-off at some point yesterday. Indeed, major EU indices traded in the green, but the picture turned more mixed during the US session, and deteriorated even further today in Asia.
With a very light economic agenda, thin liquidity, and no straight-forward headlines to support the switch in appetite, it is hard to identify the real driver. It could be the surging COVID cases around the globe, or maybe investors are closing their books for the year. In any case, yesterday’s pullback is far from pointing to a trend reversal. With media suggesting that the fast spreading of the Omicron COVID variant is unlikely to lead to global lockdowns again, due to its milder symptoms, investors may decide to reignite the so-called “Santa Rally” for the remaining of the week.
However, we repeat once again that we are reluctant to call for a long-lasting recovery. Although the prospect of a full-scale global lockdown may be off the table for now, several nations may be waiting to tighten existing restrictions after the holiday season. With also most major central banks being in the process of removing stimulus due to extremely high inflation, and not willing to resume rescue programs to treat any potential economic wounds that may result in due to additional restrictions, we cannot rule out some decent setbacks in the markets after the turn of the year.
DAX — TECHNICAL OUTLOOK
The German DAX cash index has been in a recovery mode since December 20th, when it hit support at 15065. Yesterday, it cleared the 15860 zone, marked by the high of December 7th, and hit resistance at 15980. In our view, with no sings that the recovery is running out of steam, we would expect it to continue for a while more.
A clear break above 15980 would confirm a forthcoming higher high and may target the inside swing low of November 19th, at 16086, the break of which could extend the advance towards the high of November 22nd, at 16200. If investors are not willing to stop there either, we may see them hitting once again the index’s record of 16300.
We will start considering the case of a strong correction lower, if we see a break below 15665, which is the low of December 27th. Market participants may then allow the index to slide towards the 15515 barrier, the break of which could trigger extensions towards the low of December 22nd, at 15425. If there are no buyers to be found near that support either, then we could experience declines towards the low of the day before, at around 15300.
EUR/USD — TECHNICAL OUTLOOK
EUR/USD traded somewhat lower yesterday, after it hit once again resistance at 1.1335. That said, the slide was stopped, at least for now, near the 1.1290 level. Overall, the pair remains within the sideways range that’s been in place since November 26th, between the 1.1233 and 1.1375 barriers, but it also trades below the downside resistance line taken from the high of May 25th, which, in our view, increases the chances for a downside exit out of the range, rather than an upside one.
If, indeed, the bears are strong enough to push the pair below the lower end of the range, which is at 1.1233, we may initially see them targeting the low of November 24th, at 1.1185. If they are not willing to stop there and manage to overcome that obstacle as well, this will confirm a forthcoming lower low on the weekly chart, and may pave the way towards the 1.1100 area, which provided support back on June 1st, 2020.
On the upside, we would like to see a decisive recovery above 1.1465, before we start examining the bullish case. The rate will already be above the aforementioned medium-term downside line, and the bulls could initially climb towards the 1.1524 zone, which supported the action back on October 12th and November 5th. If they don’t stop there, we may experience advances towards the 1.1575 barrier, or the 1.1615 zone, marked by the low of November 9th, and the high of November 4th, respectively.
AS FOR TODAY’S EVENTS
The only releases worth mentioning on today’s schedule are the US pending home sales for November and the EIA report on crude oil inventories for last week. Pending home sales are expected to have slowed notably, to +0.5% mom from +7.5%, while the EIA report is forecast to show that inventories have slid by 3.233mn barrels, after falling by 4.715mn the week before.

How do sparkling wine producers adopt a sub-appellation? Evidence from an exploratory study on heroic Prosecco Superiore Rive
|
How do sparkling wine producers adopt a sub-appellation? Evidence from an exploratory study on heroic Prosecco Superiore Rive
Luigino Barisan, Research Center for the Viticulture and Enology (CIRVE)
Luigi Galletto, University of Padua, Research Center for the Viticulture and Enology (CIRVE)
This paper investigates why wineries producing Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Protected Denomination of Origin (CVPP) wines decided to adopt the sub-appellation (SA) “Rive” as a way to increase the value of their wines.
We estimated both a logistic and a linear regression to explain Rive SA firms’ choices and market growth drivers, respectively. By using data gathered from CVPP producers, we divided wineries into two groups, those that have adopted the Rive SA and those that have not. By means of a stepwise procedure, we categorized factors that were likely to explain the Rive SA choice within a set of structural, marketing and wine tourism-related variables.
The results showed that structural drivers such as the human capital of younger producers, pressure tank sizes, competitive positioning in the market and in the field of wine tourism hospitality, and involvement in ad hoc promotional activities (i.e., Primavera del Prosecco) have the greatest effects on the choice of the Rive SA. The synergistic effects of cellar door sales, small firm sizes and specific foreign markets (i.e., the United Kingdom and the United States) have emerged, on the other hand, as vital factors in the growth of the Rive SA in terms of market share.
The adoption of the Rive SA may play an important role in supporting and valuing the heroic viticulture-based economy and may help the CVPP Tutelary Consortium to appropriately undertake promotional strategies to differentiate wines and improve competitiveness. This could have positive effects on wine tourism, hospitality and winery visits in light of the recent recognition of the CVPP as the 55th Italian UNESCO World Heritage site.

Cyprus: Land of love, invasions, and our first Levantine treats
|
Amazing book a”meh”zing wine
Armchair travelling to every country in the world is not my only grand gesture of love for our planet. The first was promising the children that I would take them to every country in Europe. We had hit country 39 (Poland) when Covid turned our travels virtual. And the very first country we visited on those real travels was Cyprus, an unforgettable, sunny island that is so well placed it has been conquered by Hittites, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Franks, Genoese, Venetians, Ottomans, Turks and British armies. The last time was in 1974, when Greek nationalists staged a coup d’etat and the Turkish retaliated by invading the North, thereby separating this island in two with a “thin green line” between them.
This traumatic period is at the heart of this week’s novel “The Island of Missing Trees” by Elif Shafak, the perfect book to go armchair travelling with. Not only does Shafak weave history into the storytelling, she also teases the tastebuds with evocative descriptions of the food and drinks that would accompany any real trip to Cyprus. It is pretty cheese and honey heavy and so we fell off the vegan wagon for this one, but as this is our first Levantine country, there is plenty of vegan food too. I tried to cook as much as possible, but couldn’t do as well as Ada’s (the main character) aunt who fixed breakfast of “grilled halloumi with za’atar, baked feta with honey, sesame halva, stuffed tomatoes, green olives with fennel, bread rolls with black olive spread…” it goes on… for ages.
Vegan version of Levantine spread
The novel is part-narrated by a Fig Tree, but don’t let that put you off, it is readable and accessible and borrows heavily from the Hidden Life of Trees, and Gods Wasps and Stranglers, two of the best tree books I’ve ever read.
Veggie version of Levantine spread
Whilst revelling in Shafak’s words, I gorged on honey roasted figs, honey baked feta, Greek salad, Makaoronia Tou Fournou (a Cypriot pasta bake), and anything from the Levant that I could find in the supermarket. It was easy to cook and the only complaints were that there wasn’t enough of it. This was one of those countries where you could eat a different dish every day of the armchair travelling week and still not get through the recipes.
Figs baked in honey topped with pomegranate molasses, pistachio and vegan ice-cream
But what do you wash it down with? Well, having visited five different shops looking for Greek wine, I finally found a shop that sells Cypriot wine from Keo, a brewery which seems to have a monopoly on Cypriot booze. It even owns St John Commondaria, which has been brewed the same way since the 8th Century. The only problem is that winemaking has got far, far better since then and so I am not a fan of this sweet, sweet wine, nor, if I’m honest, the Othello wine that we drank with our meal (though it got better after a few glasses!) Keo beer though, THAT I got on well with, though I guess it is similar to good quality lager the world over.
Greek Cypriot food, kinda
For our film we retuned to the 1974 war with “The boy on the bridge”, which tells the story of traumas passed on to generations, coming of age in a small Cypriot village and life growing up in the 1980s. Despite the subject matter, it is slow, relaxing, and like spending a couple of hours experiencing village life. There are twists, there are turns, there is a parrot (just as there is in The Island of Missing Trees) and there are no mobile phones. What more could anyone ask for?
The world is a wonderful place
Cyprus is also the home of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, beauty and sexuality so you would have thought that it would also be an island of love songs, and maybe it is, it is hard to tell what they are singing about in the excellent Music of Cyprus: it could be love, or God, or death, or war, or losing their favourite jumper in a nightclub, but it is certainly emotive and I should maybe had started by recommending that you listen to it whilst you read the blog, which is now done, until next week, when we visit Czechia!

11 Best PPC Software Tools for Campaign Management in 2022
|
It’s easy to start Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, but you’re going to need the right PPC software and tools for a successful campaign!
As you get more familiar with the ad platforms, you’ll realize being successful takes a lot of work. You’ll need to create and test different ads, find keywords, and check your competitors.
The best PPC tools help with all this and more. But there are so many that it can be confusing to decide what you need.
We spend a lot of time working with different software, so we know what makes a great tool. This list includes 11 of our favorites.
Some of the PPC tools listed are paid, some are free. Some are built for agencies managing multiple accounts, while others are good for small business owners trying to drive traffic.
Whatever you need a tool for, we’re sure you’ll find it on this list.
11 Best PPC Tools to Use in 2021
We’ve put together a list of our favorite tools which really do help us maximize performance.
1) SEMRush: For Keyword Research and Competitor Analysis
SEMRush is an all-in-one digital marketing tool. It helps with SEO, social media, content marketing, and more.
Where it stands out, though, is with search ads. And its PPC Advertising Toolkit contains many features that can help you plan and optimize your campaigns.
Our favorite features are the Market Analysis tools. These give you deep insight into your competitors’ PPC campaigns, showing metrics like:
Which businesses are targeting similar keywords.
Other keywords these competitors are bidding on.
Examples of their PPC ads.
Keywords multiple competitors are targeting that you aren’t.
All this information makes it easy to spot new keyword opportunities. Use these to maximize your ad spend and get a higher return on your investment.
Here’s an example of how it can help:
Imagine you wanted to sell sneakers. Searching for nike.com will show you a ton of information about the sportswear giant’s PPC campaigns, including the terms it bids on and other competitors.
You can see the overview in the image below. Clicking on any of the links will show more information — including all 5,644 keywords the company bids on.
This is super valuable data for anyone interested in competing for these terms.
All this functionality doesn’t come cheap, however.
The SEMRush Pro plan costs $119.95 per month, and the Business plan goes up to $449.95. Additional extras can add hundreds of dollars per month to your bill.
Still, if you’re spending a lot on ads it may be worth giving SEMRush a try. It’s a great PPC tool, and there’s always the seven-day free trial you can use to test the software out before committing.
2) SpyFu: Affordable SEMRush Alternative
If you like the sound of the competitor research features of SEMRush but don’t want to splash out over $100 per month on a PPC tool, SpyFu is a good option.
It offers plenty of similar features at a much lower price point.
For example, you’ll still get:
The ability to see what competitors are bidding on.
How their ad spend changes over time.
The keywords they are targeting that you aren’t.
A PPC rank tracker.
It’s everything you need to track your competitors and gain keyword insight.
One feature that can save you a ton of money is the negative keywords tool.
It works by scanning all the PPC keywords you are bidding on to show you which ones competitors have placed on their negative keywords list. This is a list of keywords they have told Google they don’t want to bid on.
Businesses usually place keywords on this list when the terms aren’t performing. Knowing which terms competitors have put on their list means you can do the same without having to spend money finding out they don’t convert.
Another way to save money is to look for keywords you buy but other brands avoid. The idea is that if no one else is bidding for the keywords, they might not be worth much.
Check out the image below showing the keywords Nike is bidding on that no other brands are targeting.
Three of the keywords are branded, which is probably why no one else is bidding on them. But the fact that no one is bidding on hoodies or jordan suggests these keywords may have low buyer intent.
Having this information when performing keyword research can save you money.
SpyFu’s basic plan costs just $39 a month ($33 billed annually), making it an excellent way to get competitor research at a fraction of the cost of SEMRush.
There’s also a Pro plan at $79 a month ($58 billed annually) and a Teams plan that comes in at $299 a month ($199 billed annually).
You can get a 30-day money-back guarantee, and there’s also a limited free version that allows you to test the features out.
3) Google Keyword Planner: Google Ads Keyword Research Tool
Keyword planner is a free keyword research tool from Google Ads. You can access it as soon as you sign up for Google ads via the “Tools” menu in the top bar.
It helps you plan PPC campaigns in two main ways.
It helps you discover new keywords. It provides information about these keywords, such as volume and estimated cost, which is great for bid management.
Using it is easy.
Just enter your target keywords in the search bar and Google will show you a list of related terms alongside how many searches they get.
You’ll also see how competitive the keyword is and the amount other companies are spending on each term.
Below you can see suggestions based on the umbrella term “email marketing tools.”
Be sure to narrow down your search by filtering the results based on the language and the country you are targeting. You can even target specific cities or regions.
When you find good terms, check the box to create a new ad group.
The tool’s keyword analysis isn’t as in-depth as other tools like SEMRush or SpyFu. There’s no competitor research, for example. It’s also no use if you run a PPC campaign on other platforms like Facebook Ads or Bing Ads.
But it’s completely free to use and as the data is coming straight from Google, so you know it should be about as accurate as it’s possible to get.
4) Google: The Best Way to See Ad Campaigns in Action
One of the best tools to gain intelligence for your PPC campaigns is Google Search.
Just head to the search engine and start searching for terms related to your niche that you are considering targeting.
You’ll gain plenty of useful information by doing this.
You’ll find out who your paid search competitors are. You’ll see if PPC keywords are worth targeting. If no one else is bidding on them, it’s probably because they don’t have commercial intent. You can see long-tail keywords by looking at the “people also search for” box. You’ll see which type of ads show up for the search terms. Is it Google shopping ads, display ads, or both? You’ll get to see full examples of competing sales funnels.
The last of these five points is the one we think is the most useful, especially if you are completely new to paid search and haven’t had much experience creating campaigns.
You’ll gain insight into what your competitors include in their Google ads, what features and benefits they promote, the type of landing page they use, the offer they use to generate leads, and more.
Here’s a quick example of what to check.
If you want to promote an email marketing tool, you will search for “email marketing software.”
This brings up a Google results page with four ads. This shows competition is high but also suggests the keyword is profitable.
You’ll also see what each company includes in their paid search ads.
Click on the results to see the landing page. Send in Blue offers users a free trial of its software. Maybe this is something you could consider offering, too.
It’s completely free to search on Google, and it’s the only way to see full Google ads sales funnels in action. There’s no reason not to try it out.
5) Google Analytics: See How PPC Visitors Behave on Your Site
Google Analytics is an essential tool for all types of digital marketing, and PPC campaigns are no exception.
The most effective way to use Google Analytics as a PPC tool is to check how paid visitors interact with your site. You can track how many pages they’re viewing, the bounce rate, which pages they’re landing on, and more.
Use this information to improve your campaign. For example, a high bounce rate suggests people aren’t finding what they want on your site. You may be targeting the wrong keywords or your offer may not be relevant enough.
It’s easy to connect Analytics to your Google Ads account. This will provide in-depth data about the entire customer journey. You’ll also get better remarketing capabilities.
Like the other Google PPC tools on this list, Google Analytics is free to use. Just add the code to your website if you haven’t done so already.
6) CallRail: Track PPC-Generated Phone Leads
If you use Pay Per Click ads to encourage people to call your business directly, you need a way to track which calls are due to your ads. This ensures you can track the effectiveness of your campaigns.
CallRail tells you exactly this information.
It works by giving you a unique number to use in your Google Ads. When customers call this number, the software tracks metrics such as:
Which campaign generated the call.
Which landing pages they visited.
The keywords callers are searching for.
The location of the caller.
Time spent on the phone.
This helps you define the most impactful paid search campaigns, ads, and pages for generating phone leads.
The great thing about CallRail is that it integrates with all the software you already use. It connects to Facebook, Microsoft (Bing Ads), Google Ads, WordPress, Unbounce, and Google Analytics.
This lets you follow the prospect’s entire journey, from discovering your product to becoming a customer.
Pricing for call tracking starts at $45 per month. You can add lead center, conversion intelligence, or form tracking. However, each addition will increase the monthly cost significantly.
There’s also a 14-day free trial you can use to test out the software.
When it comes to PPC conversion tracking, CallRail is the king!
7) Unbounce: Create and Test Landing Pages
Your landing page is a crucial part of your PPC campaign. A good page boosts conversion, helping you get a better Return On Ad Spend (ROAS).
There are plenty of landing page builders out there, but our favorite is Unbounce.
Unbounce is a drag-and-drop page builder, which means you don’t need any programming knowledge to use it. You just have to choose elements you want to add to the page and customize them from within the editor.
The screenshot below shows the page builder in action. You can easily change the size, color, position, and text of all the elements.
Unbounce has over 100 templates you can use as a starting base for your pages. Or you can build templates entirely from scratch.
You can easily:
Add video and images.
Create brand packs with different colors, fonts, and elements.
Build Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP).
Add customized lead gen forms.
See how your landing pages are performing in the dashboard.
When creating landing pages, it’s essential to test different versions.
Unbounce makes A/B testing easy, which is the real reason why it’s on our list of top PPC tools.
All you have to do is change an element in the page builder and set it as a variant. This could be the headline, call-to-action, media, or ad copy.
You then choose how much traffic you want to send to the new version of your page. After a while, you’ll be able to see if it performs better (or worse) than the existing page. If it does, just click “Promote to Champion” to make this version of the page your main one.
Unbounce starts at $80 per month for a single domain and up to 500 conversions. Other plans go up to $300 per month.
It’s worth noting that Unbounce isn’t just for paid search. You can use it to build any kind of landing page.
8) Canva: Build Beautiful Ads
If you use social media or display ads, your visuals must be appealing. This can be daunting if you’re not a graphic designer.
The good news is that Canva makes creating great-looking designs easy. You just have to choose elements to include in your ad and then drag and drop them into place on the screen.
One of the reasons Canva is so easy to use is its ready-made templates. You can see one for Facebook Ads in the above image.
Just choose the type of media you want to create and you’ll see plenty of example creations, all with the correct dimensions. Then edit the content to your requirements.
Canva also has a vast media library. You can access thousands of stock images as well as frames, charts, shapes, drawings, and more. Adding these to your designs is as easy as choosing one and placing it in your image.
You can use the basic version of Canva for free. The Pro plan offers more design options and elements for just $10 a month.
9) Grammarly: Write Compelling Ad Copy
Writing ad copy can be challenging, especially if you’re not a professional writer.
Grammarly is a spelling and grammar checker that can help. Its functionality goes well beyond what you get on the likes of Word and Google Docs.
For starters, the spell checker and grammar checker are more comprehensive. It’s sure to find suggestions that its competitors have missed.
But the real reason it’s so powerful for PPC ads is its writing analysis. Grammarly provides suggestions on how to:
Make your writing clear and easy to understand.
Make it more engaging to your audience.
Write in an appropriate tone.
The screenshot below shows suggestions for a paragraph from the above section. Grammarly thinks the word “just” weakens my message, which means readers may think I lack confidence in what I’m saying.
This is bad, since ads need to convince people to take action. Luckily it’s an easy fix. Just click the button to remove the word.
Grammarly will never replace an expert copywriter. And the suggestions aren’t always as clear as the one above. This means you will sometimes have to use your judgment.
But the tool is an excellent way to improve your ad copy, which is why it’s on our list of top PPC tools.
There is a free version of Grammarly that checks your writing for errors. To see the more advanced suggestions you need to buy a premium subscription which costs $29.99 per month when billed monthly, or $11.66 when billed annually.
10) Optmyzr: Manage and Optimize Multiple Campaigns
Optmyzr uses algorithms to monitor your PPC campaigns and deliver insight and suggestions that may improve performance. It’s an excellent tool to help agencies manage multiple accounts.
The software can help you:
Find new keywords and avoid expensive ones.
Optimize your bid management process so that you get maximum performance for your PPC spend.
Test ad components, text, and placement to build more effective ads.
Help you complete PPC audits to a high level
The best thing about this tool is how easy it is to implement suggestions.
It alerts you when it identifies something you can improve. You can review the suggestion and, if you like the idea, apply the changes in seconds.
You can use the PPC management software for all channels and formats. This includes search ads, shopping ads, Amazon advertising, Facebook Ads, Bing Ads, and more.
The tool can also handle data from many different sources, including all the major pay-per-click dashboards, Google Analytics, and even custom spreadsheets.
Optmyzr isn’t cheap, though.
The basic plan lets you manage up to 25 accounts and costs $249 per month. The Pro Plus plan is $799 per month and allows you to manage up to 50 accounts with $500k in ad spend. However, you can save money on all these accounts with an annual plan. There’s also a free trial you can use to test the software.
Despite the cost, if you’re spending a lot on ads it won’t take much of a saving to get a positive ROI.
11) Acquisio: PPC Management for Agencies
Acquisio is one of the best PPC tools to help you scale your ad campaigns. It’s especially useful for agencies that have to manage many accounts at once and would rather do so from a single dashboard.
The tool has several features that make managing accounts easy, including:
Fast PPC campaign setup. Including templates or the ability to clone campaigns from one platform to another.
The ability to manage keywords for multiple accounts in a single dashboard.
Manage accounts from different platforms, including Google, Bing, Facebook, and Linkedin.
Build reports that you can send to clients to provide full visibility into their campaigns.
Set KPIs and targets in the dashboard. The tool will automatically show you how each account is performing compared to expectations.
The software stands out due to its optimization suite that uses machine learning to find new ways to improve campaign performance. It automatically finds high-performing keywords to bid on that deliver the highest possible ROI.
As a campaign manager, you just have to define limits and controls and let the software do the rest.
The monthly cost of using Acquisio is based on a percentage of total PPC ad spend. The exact amount you pay depends on the number of accounts you manage.
PPC Tools Are Essential to Maximize ROI
PPC tools are a huge part of high-performing campaigns. They can help you optimize all elements, from planning and creation to management.
Many of the PPC tools on this list cost money. However, if you’re spending a lot on ads it doesn’t take much in terms of optimization to get savings worth the software’s price and more. Bear in mind that you’ll still need to spend a lot of time getting to grips with each piece of software, though.
A better option for some businesses is to simply outsource PPC entirely. When you do this, you’ll get experts running your campaigns who already have access to the best PPC tools — not to mention considerable expertise and experience creating great campaigns.

The Ultimate Digital Marketing Glossary: 108 Terms all Marketers Should Know
|
From ‘301 Redirects’ to ‘YouTube’, and ‘Alt Text’ to ‘UTM Tracking’, we’ve put together your ultimate guide to all things digital marketing. Whether you’re new to the industry or just need a quick refresher, we have 108 helpful terms that all marketers should know.
#
301 Redirect: A permanent redirect from an old URL to a new URL. This is a commonly used method to keep pre-existing traffic directed to a website when the website is redesigned or a web page and its URL are updated.
404 Error: An error message displayed when a URL cannot be found. If you are removing a page completely from a website, you, or a developer, will add a 404 redirect to note that the page no longer exists.
A
A/B testing: Creating two versions of creative (ex: ad copy, an email, an image, a landing page) to test against each other in a campaign to see which one your audience responds better to. This is a frequent testing method used in all forms of advertising. When creating the two versions, it is good practice to only make one change from version A to version B, so you know what your audience is responding to.
Above the fold: Placement on a website that is above the bottom cut off of the screen. Often, companies will put forms, videos, or the most relevant information to that page above the fold so it is the first thing a user will see — no scrolling needed.
Ad: A paid method of communicating with a potential customer through different mediums, including mail, email, the internet, phone, or print. In digital marketing, this often includes display ads and search, which present information using copy and images to get a user to click through to the corresponding web page.
Ad fatigue: This is what happens when users are over-exposed to the same ad and it results in less clicks and conversions. Commonly used in Facebook, advertisers will use this as a benchmark to determine when to update ad creative so they stay relevant and give users a positive advertising experience.
Ad group: In a pay-per-click account, these are the subcategories that contain ads, targeting a group of keywords. These are often broken out into various ‘themes’ that make up a campaign.
Algorithm: In digital marketing, this is a complex set of rules search engines and advertising platforms use to choose which ads a user sees first. This is normally made up of keyword bidding, ad relevance, quality score from the landing page, optimization on the website, and other various factors.
Alt text: Or Alternative Text, is a word or phrase used to tag an image in the HTML to tell the user or Google Bot (see: ‘Bot’) what that image contains. This is a common form of SEO on a website. This gives Google another chance to see what your website contains, as well as another opportunity for users to reach your website by searching on relevant keywords.
Anchor text: The clickable text used to link a user from one site to another, generally related to what it is linking to, formatted as blue underlined text. This is a common method to improve your internal linking structure or linking within your own website.
Attribution: Determining which touch point of the marketing process is responsible for the conversion. Often in advertising, it takes multiple methods of advertising to reach a customer before they convert or make a purchase. Attribution allows one or multiple methods to “get credit” for the conversion.
Audience: The target demographic to focus your ads to attempt to convert. The audience can vary depending on marketing channel, content, product, service, etc. It is also common for an advertiser to have multiple audiences.
Audit: A full scope look at how a website is performing. Often for SEO purposes, this gives the company in-depth look at all aspects of their website, and tells them where they can improve for a more optimized website.
B
Backlink: An incoming hyperlink from one website to another. Having a large number of backlinks can improve your website’s performance and searchability from a search engine. When a separate website or domain links to another website, they are essentially endorsing that site, and giving them “juice.” When these links come from reputable sites, like a .gov, .org, or well-known company, the power for that website grows.
Bid: The price a marketer will pay to show their ad. Used in pay-per-click advertising, this often refers to keyword bidding, and the amount an advertiser will place on a keyword so Google will consider them in their algorithm.
Bing AdCenter: A platform for SEM where users can manage their pay-per-click advertisements on Yahoo! and Bing. It is the Microsoft alternative to Google AdWords.
Blog: A website or web page that consists of personal or informational posts, often in chronological order, to reach an audience interested in that subject. Digital marketers often use or recommend blog posts or pages to improve a company’s content strategy, putting more information about that industry out to the web.
Bots: Also referred to as a ‘Googlebot’ or ‘Spider,’ a bot is a web crawler that discovers new or updated web pages or websites. When a user enters a search query to a search engine, Google’s bot will crawl the internet to find the most relevant results for the user’s search.
Bounce rate: A term used to describe the percentage of users who leave after only viewing one page of a website, as opposed to clicking on links or navigating to other pages. This helps determine user interest and can serve as a metric to help businesses decide what aspects of their website to optimize.
C
CTA or Call to Action: A word or phrase used in marketing to get the audience to take an action. Common examples of popular calls to action are “Buy Now,” “Contact Us,” “Call Today,” “Download Here,” “Learn More,” etc.
Campaign: Made up of one or multiple ad groups, a campaign is a top-level category in a PPC account used to organize products or services offered. A PPC account can have multiple campaigns, often broken up by services/products, branded, or competitors.
Channel: The avenue or outlet an advertiser chooses to use to market to their audience. Common marketing channels can be Google, Email, Social Media, Organic, or Paid.
Clicks or Ad Click: The total number of clicks on an online ad. This is most frequently how a company will track traffic, leads or conversions, by seeing how many times a user will click on their ad when they see it in their search results.
CTR or Click Thru Rate: The percentage of times a user will click on an ad if they are exposed to it. If the average user is shown an ad 1,000 times, but they only click on it 350 times, the click thru rate (350/1,000) is 35%.
Code: In Digital Marketing, the code is a set of programming instructions that make up a website or instruct a web page how to perform. There are many different types of code, for example a site could be built on JavaScript, HTML, or XML.
Conversions: The act of a user completing a desired action from an ad. This can be any action like downloading a pdf, filling out a form, making a purchase, clicking on an ad, or calling a business. In paid advertising, conversions help a business see how well their advertising is doing, and if users are interacting with them.
CVR or Conversion Rate: The percentage of times the average user will convert from an ad if they have clicked on it. If the average user clicks on an ad 500 times, but they only convert from that ad 120 times, the conversion rate for that ad (120/500) is 24%.
Cookie: A small digital file that is stored on the backend of a user’s computer after they visit a site. This can stay on a computer either permanently or temporarily. Users can clear their cookies, or clear cache, to remove any temporarily stored cookies from their website. Cookies can be used by a business to learn about their customer, how they interact with their website, and remarket back to them based off of their interests.
Copy or Ad Copy: The text associated with an ad. Copy can also be referred to as the main content on the pages of a website, but when talking about ad copy it is usually in reference to the headlines and description that accompany the ad.
CPA or Cost per Acquisition: Or also referred to as cost per conversion, it is the amount a business or advertiser will spend on one conversion from an ad. If a company is spending $500 and they have 20 conversions, their cost per acquisition ($500/20) is $25.
CPC or Cost per Click: The amount a business or advertiser is paying per one click on their ad. If a company is spending $500 on advertising and they have 200 clicks on their ads, their cost per click ($500/200) is $2.50.
CPL or Cost per Lead: The amount a business or advertiser is paying per one lead from an advertisement. If they are spending $500 on advertising and they have 100 leads, their cost per lead ($500/100) is $5.00.
CPM or Cost per Thousand: The amount a business or advertiser is paying per 1,000 impressions of an ad. If a company is spending $1,000 in advertising and they have 4,000 impressions, their cost per thousand (($1,000/4,000)x1,000) is $250.
Crawl or Crawling: The process of scanning a website to discover new pages, updated pages, or removed or redirected pages. This is done by a Googlebot, or ‘Spider,’ either when a user uses a search engine, or when an advertiser is indexing (see: Index) a website from the backend.
Creative: The imagery of an advertisement. Creative is the meat of the ad that is meant to draw in the audience’s attention and get them to perform an action.
D
Dashboard: A place to see all important metrics at a glance. Most often used in Google Analytics, this workspace allows an advertiser to track the most important metrics to their business over a designated period of time and determines how users are interacting with their website.
DSP or Demand Side Platform: A system that provides the technology for advertisers to purchase ad space through a real-time bidding auction. Essentially, if you are wanting to promote a display ad, you could use a DSP to get your ad on a third-party website. When a user reaches that website, the DSP technology will analyze the user’s demographics, interests, and hobbies (all collected through the cookies on their computer), compare that with the advertiser’s bids, and make a real-time decision on who wins that ad placement. DSPs algorithm will combine ad relevancy and interest with bid strategy to determine which advertiser ends up on top.
Demographics: Statistical data relating to the general population or the smaller groups within it. Generally, demographics are broken down by age, gender, location, income, occupation, ethnicity, and race. It is a common practice in marketing campaigns to target advertisements towards one or several demographics.
Display Advertising: A type of online marketing that uses images or video to communicate their ad, rather than text-based advertising. Display advertising is used across platforms like Google AdWords, AdRoll, Facebook, Instagram, and more.
Domain: A name used in URLs to identify web pages and where they belong. For example, in the URL www.fujisanmarketing.com/blogs, the domain name is fujisanmarketing.com.
Domain Authority: The measure of power a domain name has, and how it ranks in a search engine. The domain authority is based off of three main factors: age, popularity, and size.
DKI or Dynamic Keyword Insertion: A feature in Google AdWords that allows an advertiser to customize their ads based off of what their users search for. To enable this feature, a small, special piece of code is placed in the ad text that tells a search engine when a customer uses one of their keywords, or to replace the code with the keyword that triggered their ad.
E
Email List: An audience list used specifically for email marketing. An email list can be curated in a variety of different ways, whether that is opt-in or subscribing to content (a customer asks to be on the list), gated content (a user must input their email in order to download or receive content), or when a user becomes a customer by completing a purchase and including their email in their information.
Email Marketing: A type of content marketing specifically sent through email. Email marketing can be used to distribute content, sales promotions, services, or used to develop relationships with potential customers.
F
Frequency: The number of times an ad makes an impression on one person. Often, advertisers will limit the frequency of an ad so a user doesn’t experience ad fatigue by seeing the same ad too many times, and develop a negative connotation with that advertiser.
G
Google AdWords: Google’s pay-per-click (PPC) advertising platform. AdWords allows you to build, manage, and optimize campaigns, ad groups, ads, and keywords within a single account.
GA or Google Analytics: A platform in Google that tracks and measures various metrics of a website to show an advertiser or company how a user interacts with their website, and how their website is performing as a whole.
GTM or Google Tag Manager: A platform in Google that manages all tags for a website in one place, allowing the advertiser to easily change, update, or add new tags or code snippets to their site without having to go into the backend of the website.
GSC or Google Search Console: Previously named Google Webmaster Tools, it is a service for webmasters to monitor, maintain, and optimize their web presence. Common areas of focus in GSC are site indexing, site traffic, and crawl errors.
H
H Tags: Commonly referred to as the Header tag, or <h1> tag in HTML, it is the title of a page, and will stand out among the rest of the text on a page. Other header tags in HTML include h2, h3, h4 and so on. This represents the hierarchy of titles and subtitles on a page. Google uses these tags when they crawl the backend of a site to get an idea of what that page is about.
HTML or Hypertext Markup Language: A coding language used to create a website. The letters, symbols, and numbers within a text file will determine what a website looks like and how it will perform.
I
Impressions: The number of times an ad is seen by a potential customer. This can be through a search engine results page or through display advertising, and a user does not need to interact with the ad for it to be considered an impression. This is a common metric tracked in pay-per-click campaigns.
Inbound Link: Similar to a ‘backlink,’ it is a link directing users to a website from a separate or third-party site. Having a high number of inbound links is very beneficial towards a website’s SEO and domain authority because it is essentially boosting — or endorsing — that website.
Index: The process of gathering and recording all pages on a particular website. This is a commonly-used feature of Google Search Console, where Google will crawl a website to index all current pages, add any new or updated pages, and remove any deleted pages.
J
JavaScript: A programming language primarily used in web production that presents itself as animation or movement. Employing JavaScript on a website or page is what makes certain parts interactive, such as the search bar, a video, or a live-feed.
K
Keyword: In Search Engine Optimization, it is a word or set of words that help make up a site’s metadata and describes what is on a web page. When used correctly, a keyword should help users find a web page based on their search terms.
Keyword Research: The practice of researching what terms or phrases people frequently search for and using that data to make informed decisions regarding which keywords a business should be targeting in their own campaign. If done well, keyword research can help businesses rank higher for their targeted terms.
Keyword Stuffing: The practice of loading a page with keywords or phrases in an effort to manipulate the site’s SEO rankings. These keywords can often appear out of context or, in some cases, irrelevant to the page itself. While this used to be a common SEO practice for some companies, Google has since discouraged this practice by lowering SEO scores when caught.
KPI or Key Performance Indicator: A measurable value determined by a company to indicate how well an account is performing and used to evaluate success.
L
Landing Page: A solo web page with a focused sales pitch that is designed to get a visitor to take an action. In a PPC ad, the landing page is the URL destination a user lands on when they click the ad. Different versions of landing pages are often tested against each other in ad campaigns so account managers can see which page performs better.
Lead: A conversion from an ad that gives information on a potential customer that a sales team can then convert into a sale. This is a commonly used metric or KPI in any PPC Account.
Lookalike Audience: In Facebook, this feature allows for an Account Manager to upload an existing client, customer, or subscriber email list to Facebook so Facebook can find those existing user profiles, then find other profiles who are similar in demographic, hobbies, interests, and occupation, creating an entirely new target audience for the marketer. This allows a marketer to reach a brand new audience who, because they are similar to the existing customers, will most likely be interested in their product.
M
Marketing Automation: A software or tool that helps automate marketing processes or actions. Oftentimes, it is used for email marketing, social media, or other tasks that require repetition. Examples of marketing automation software include HubSpot, MailChimp, Marketo, and ActiveCampaign.
Metadata: Often in the form of tags, it encompasses the descriptions or keywords used to describe a web page’s content. The two most basic forms of metadata are meta description and meta title, however this can also include the author, when it was created, any open graph tags, and how long the document is.
Meta Description: A tag in the HTML of a web page consisting of key words and phrases that gives a short summary on what the page is about. When properly optimized for SEO, search engines will scan this part of the site to see if that page is relevant to a user’s search. This tag is also kept to a limit of ~160 characters.
Meta Title: Similar to the meta description, this is also a tag in the HTML of a web page that acts as the page title. When properly optimized for SEO, search engines will read this tag first and will continue with the description to determine if the page is relevant. Also referred to as a title tag, this is kept to a 50–60 character limit.
Mobile Search: An online search performed from a mobile device, such as a smartphone. As we saw in 2017, mobile search is beginning to dominate the search space, surpassing desktop searches.
N
New Users: In Google Analytics, this is the category of people who visit a site for the very first time. It is common for an account manager to track the number of sessions to a website from a new user, so they can see how many new potential customers are visiting their site.
NoFollow: A value that can be assigned to a rel attribute to tell a search engine that the outbound hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in a search engine index. It allows one site to link to another without influencing that site to rank better.
O
OG or Open Graph Tag: This allows an advertiser to have control over how information is passed from a website to social media. For example, a company can set the image, title, and description they want to show on Facebook for whenever someone posts that website’s domain to Facebook.
Organic Traffic: Users coming to a website on their own through a search engine, like Google or Bing. Unlike paid traffic, these users are coming to a website unprompted and uninfluenced by advertisements. This is a common metric that business owners strive to increase.
Outbound Link: A link that comes from your website that allows the customer to leave your website and move to another domain. These are often paired with a NoFollow that removes the Inbound link for the other website (See: NoFollow).
P
Page Speed: The time it takes for the content on a web page to load on a browser or mobile device. While this is highly important for user experience, this is also becoming an increasingly important part of SEO optimization; the slower a page loads, the fewer pages search engines can crawl within their allocated crawl time. From a user experience standpoint, the slower a page loads, the higher the bounce rate will tend to be.
Page Views: The number of times a user has visited a web page. Whether there are unique users visiting a page, or the same user visiting a page multiple times, they are all counted as a page view. This is a common and useful metric to track in Google Analytics.
Paid Search Traffic: The number of users that come to a web page through a paid advertisement, typically through a PPC channel such as Google AdWords or Facebook Advertising.
PPC or Pay-Per-Click Advertising: A form of online advertising in which advertisers only pay for their ads when a user clicks on them. Common PPC channels are AdWords, Bing, and Facebook.
Pixel: A piece of code used to track a goal that lives in the backend of a website. Different platforms have various pixels that all service different purposes. Pixels can track conversions or form fills, count purchase orders and revenue from users that come through an ad, and they can even tag a user’s computer by placing a cookie on their browser that allows the company to remarket their goods and services back to them after the user leaves their site.
Programmatic Advertising: The use of software to automate the buying of digital ad space. The buying and selling of ad space is automated through a series of algorithms to ensure that ads are seen by the right audience. By automating the process, buying ads becomes more fine-tuned and cost-effective for buyers and publishers.
Q
Quality Score: Used by Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, it is a metric used to measure the quality of ads, and can influence CPC and ad rank. Better quality scores may result in lower ad costs and better positions above organic results. Some factors that can influence quality score include CTR, load times, copy, and landing page quality.
Query: Another word for search term, a query is a word or phrase a user types into a search engine in the hopes of finding a specific result.
R
Reach: The total number of views content receives over a specified period of time. With paid reach, a business will pay money to have an ad with higher visibility within a targeted time frame and demographic, while organic reach requires SEO to have users find the business themselves.
Remarketing: Similar to retargeting, remarketing is Google AdWords’ solution that is specific to their network. However, remarketing is confined to email and phone. For example, if a person browses a shopping website and abandons their cart, a remarketing email may be sent to that person to remind them of their almost-purchase.
Retargeting: When ads for a business’ product or service are shown across the web to people who have visited their website previously. Remarketing reintroduces the product or service to those who are more likely to buy, because they have already shown interest in the past. When a person browses a website, a cookie tracks them anonymously, and shows them targeted ads based on their browsing behavior.
RLSA or Remarketing Lists for Search Ads: A Google AdWords function that allows businesses to create lists based on customer behavior from their website visit. Depending on the parameters set, businesses can add tags to certain pages of their website, adding customers who visit those pages to a list. Google will then attach cookies, so when the customer searches for similar items, you can bid more for keywords, or target ads to the customer directly.
ROAS or Return on Ad Spend: Refers to the value, monetary or otherwise, a business will receive from the money they put into advertising.
Robots.txt or Robots Exclusion Protocol: A text file used to guide how a search engine can and cannot crawl a website. It may be advantageous for a business to hide web pages with similar content so those pages will not be indexed by a search engine. The robots.txt file of any website can be found by entering /robots.txt to the end of the URL.
ROI or Return on Investment: The benefit received from a certain investment compared to the cost. In technical terms, the formula is (gain-cost) divided by the cost, but can be based on a number of metrics. For example, a business’ ROI in digital marketing could take into account the cost of the investment in addition to leads and conversions as part of the equation.
S
Search Engine: A software or platform that searches the Internet based on user queries. The search engine will then present the found information in the form of a search engine results page (SERP).
SIS or Search Impression Share: A metric used within Google AdWords defined as the percent of impressions received on an ad divided by the total amount of impressions that were available for that ad. It is used to give businesses a benchmark for their ad performance, such as whether or not it would be beneficial to increase budget in order to gain more impressions.
SEM or Search Engine Marketing: A form of PPC marketing that targets users’ search engine results in the form of relevant ads and results.
SEO or Search Engine Optimization: Incorporating factors such as keywords, good copy, and backlinks in order to drive traffic and affect the visibility of a site organically. This is done by optimizing the content of a web page and increasing its relevance to certain keywords. By doing so, the website is more likely to show when a user searches for the targeted keywords.
SERP or Search Engine Results Page: The resulting list a user receives after typing in a search query in a search engine. It may be a mix of ads and organic search results.
Sessions: The duration of time a user spends on a particular web page. It is a useful metric for determining engagement and may require better content and a friendly user interface to increase average session duration.
Sitemap: A structured list of the pages within a website that helps search engines index the site. Having a sitemap helps users find and navigate the site based on their query.
Spider: Also known as a web crawler, it is a bot that helps search engines index websites. This enables users to find relevant search results more efficiently.
T
Tag: Also known as a pixel or web beacon, tags collect and receive data based on user interaction with a web page. These tags can help integrate third-party applications, set cookies, and gather user information.
Trigger: Often attached to a tag, it is an automated response that occurs based on a user action and allows the tag to fire. For example, reaching the “Thank You” page after successfully completing an online order may mean a cookie is then set to the browser to collect further information that may be used later for remarketing.
U
URL or Uniform Resource Locator: Also called a web address, it is typically displayed in a browser’s address bar and used to specify and identify a location on the World Wide Web.
UTM Tracking: A function that can be managed within Google Analytics, a UTM code is a small addition of text to the end of a web URL that allows businesses to track their web traffic. UTMs can be integrated with social media posts, emails, and even other web pages to give businesses an idea of which efforts are leading traffic back to their website.
V
Value Proposition: A statement promising a service, good, or feature that a customer would benefit from when purchasing a product or service.
Variable: In the A/B testing process, it is the metric that is being tested or changed to determine which option works best, depending on a business’ goals. The variable may include the headline, CTA, ad copy, layout, or timing.
W
Web page: A single page that lives on a domain within a website on the World Wide Web. They are a document written using HTML and display data that can usually be accessed by anyone.
Website: An address on the Internet made up of a collection of web pages that are connected to one another in order to host information and data.
WordPress: A free and open-source content management system that allows businesses to integrate plugins, themes, and other services with an pre existing website. Businesses often use it for its content management and creation ability.
X
XML Sitemap: A tool that helps search engines more effectively crawl a website. It is useful for businesses with large sites or with a significant number of web pages that are not linked to each other. Having a sitemap will help organize this data so it can be properly cataloged by a search engine.
Y
Yoast: A web-optimization company, they offer advanced WordPress plugins and services to help the functionality of user websites. This includes keyword and SEO analysis, Google integrations, and XML sitemap integrations.
YouTube: A video-hosting website and marketing platform that employs Google Adsense to help businesses target ads. Because of the diverse audience of YouTube, it is often a good choice for marketers who want to improve their SEO.

How do you get traffic to a blog?
How to generate traffic?
1 — Identify a market and a precise target
More often than not, you decide to start a blog to generate more traffic and earn more income.
There are different ways of generating income with your blog, such as: the sale of a service or service (coaching advice, etc.), the sale of products, the rental of mailing lists, the display of advertising (eg ADSENS) …
But for this to work, it is essential:
To position yourself in a specific market and to define a clear editorial line for your publications: articles, videos, podcasts …
yourself for your publications: articles, videos, podcasts … Identify the personas (typical customer profiles) likely to be interested in your articles and your products.
So it’s important to ask yourself: who is your ideal customer?
What type of client do you provide a concrete solution to?
What type of client would be willing to pay for your expertise, your advice…?
2 — Be strategic about the style of your content
Offer an approach that sets you apart from your competition.
If you want to increase traffic to your blog, the best thing you can do is create the best content.
The most successful content is that which meets a specific need.
Think about your target and think about what they like.
Regarding the style of the content, communicate using a medium suited to your publication: Image, video, podcast… Create things that people want to read, watch and share!
It is also important to use quality images to accompany the blog posts you publish.
First of all, the images help to better understand the treated subject and to apprehend the complex concepts.
Additionally, just like with text, images can be optimized so that your content appears in search results.
3 — Produce rich content to generate more traffic
Studies show that long content performs better on search engines than short posts.
Producing lengthy content on a blog means that you have to write in-depth articles on a particular topic.
There are several reasons for this:
Longer articles will naturally be richer in keywords and therefore better referenced.
and therefore better referenced. A detailed and in-depth article is more likely to satisfy readers who discover it. The message will better meet the expectations of your visitors and therefore your article will be more likely to be shared via social media or via other blog posts that have quoted you and included your link (backlinks). This will have a direct impact on your traffic.
How to generate more traffic and increase the number of visitors to your blog?
1 — Optimize the natural referencing (SEO) of your articles
There are a number of SEO rules to folow to give your blog post the best chance of ranking well on Google in particular.
To create an optimized blog post, you need to define an ideal keyword or key phrase that will be the common thread of your post. An ideal keyword should be relevant. In order to choose the best keyword or keyword phrase, you can use the Google Trends tool which will give you a trend of the number of searches performed in Google using the phrase you have chosen.
Here are some good practices:
Your blog post title — H1 tag — must contain your keyword / keyword phrase and accurately describe your topic
Headers and filenames should also be keyword rich
Your content should be structured and include your keywords in several places in your article
Keywords must be contained in the URL of each post
In addition, backlinks (links to other publications) also help to propel your content and generate more traffic. Getting backlinks often involves reaching out to other bloggers and asking them to include a link to your content in their posts or conduct an article swap.
Be careful, however, to systematically obtain quality links so as not to damage the position of your blog / website in search engines.
The backlinks can also be natural and follow a good referencing especially on social networks.

2 — Be present on social networks
Social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin and Instagram allow Internet users to learn, exchange and relay information.
Publishing your blog articles on social networks allows you to make yourself known and increase your visibility.
Social networks are also a place of exchange and interaction with your existing customers or prospects who will be able to share your publications.
Finally, the presence of your blog post on social networks will help you generate more traffic to your blog and ultimately your website.
3 — Encourage user engagement
Actively encourage your readers to
share
your blog posts.
This will allow you:
Generate more traffic to your articles and therefore your blog
Send positive “signals” to search engines about the popularity and quality of your posts
4 — use paid referencing
The so-called SEA Search Engine Advertising strategy
consists of buying keywords from Google’s advertising agency, Google Adwords in order to be present on the first page of results above the natural results.
This paid SEO method is useful when you are starting your blog or business.
It helps promote your blog which is not yet well referenced.
SEA therefore makes it possible to acquire more visibility and more quickly.
PS:Use this site for your first SEA campaign. You will receive $125 bonus which will be a win for you.
5 — use sponsored publication
Sponsored publication allows you to highlight your blog articles mainly used on social networks: Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter.
Sponsored publishing is a real channel for acquiring customers.
Indeed, a sponsored publication will always be visible (depending on the selected target) and highlighted throughout the duration of your campaign.
It’s a simple way to showcase your content and generate more traffic to your blog by reaching a larger target for a budget to invest.

Digital Marketing Agency In Hampshire
|
Hello, and welcome to my post about how I started my digital marketing agency helping small to medium sized businesses grow online through our SEO services & PPC services We also help small to medium businesses with a new website design or a refresh of their current website that's outdated and needs to be modernised. The typical scenario where we engage with businesses looking to upgrade their website is because it's not responsive where the site doesn't adapt to mobiles or tablets or even more so now, not passing the latest Google update which is called core web vitals where Google takes into considerate the page speed of your site and the usability. It all started when Covid 19 arrived and we went into the first UK lockdown, where I and my business partner were made redundant. We both then took the courage to start our own agency call Lionheart marketing based in Mortimer, Hampshire.
How does Lionheart marketing help businesses grow online through our SEO services?
The initial stage starts with a free SEO discovery session, where we talk to you about your business objectives, your target audience and how SEO can help you meet your digital business objectives. The 5 most common business objectives we tend to find are;
We want to drive and inrease more revenue online We want to generate more leads We want more natural relevant traffic to our website We want to compete with our competitors We want more awareness and new customers
Then we start building a SEO road map to achieve the business objectives starting of with keyword resarch and a competitor analysis to idenfity the right keywords to target, to drive the correct traffic. We then start to look at on-page SEO on the site, where we decide what landing pages to target for each keyword phrase. We will optimise page titles, header tags and meta data.
Once the on-page SEO has been implemented, we will then look at a content marketing strategy to help with fresh releavant content, the content needs to be around “ How to guides” where you are helping your audience. We then start to look at off page, where we will help build natural links to your site by creating and posting content and authroitive sites. We know by adapting to this SEO strategy after around 6–12 months you will start to see your organic traffic increasing in which will start generating more revenue or more leads as we are driving the correct traffic to your site.
How does Lionheart marketing help our customers maximise their Google spend with our PPC services?
Before any work is carried out on a PPC campaign we need to conduct an audit of your current PPC campaign or to discuss your business objectives and revew our current website. With all the will in the world if you website is hard to use, hard to navigate and takes ages to load, it doesn’t matter if we send lots of traffic to yor website, it will struggle convert.
A PPC audit consists of reviewing your current campaign. We would look for things like: checking for the right keywords, are we using the most relevant ones, is the advert copy compelling does it make me want to click on the ad and negative keywords to name but a few.
Here is an example of some of our build take aways
Look at the menu of your website and base the structure of your campaign on this. Do a live Google search of the same products or services you do and look at who is using paid advertisment, this is also good to build a list of negative kewords. When you are thinking about writing the advert copy, think about why is someone going to click on your ad instead of someone else, highlight your unique selling points and what makes you stand out. Remember that allthough you can get instant results from the PPC campaign you need to give your campaign time to pick up on Googles AI technology so if you dont see the results you desire straight away you will later.

So Two Muslims Walk Into Starbucks: Or, My Hate Crime Experience!
|
Tonight, I’m working from the Penn Station Starbucks. After some time, my laptop’s battery needed power, so I walked over to where a fellow patron was seated, said “excuse me”, and plugged in my charger.
I wasn’t sure what I did to merit this, but this particular patron proceeded to mutter expletives and mock my appearance audibly loud enough to decipher his words. My beard. My hair. My clothes. Umm, okay.
He then assumed I’m Muslim. Surprise, surprise. He asked if I am Muslim, to which I instantly replied “yes”. Force of habit. He then began a half-hour rant, filled with expletives and threatening gestures.
His specific bone to pick? The mistaken notion that all Muslim men, in his words, “fuck seven women”. Shit, I should be so lucky.
Shit, I should be so lucky.
I’m trying to work, by which I mean manage my mentions on Twitter, and this guy’s getting close enough for the born-and-raised New Yorker in me to simply no longer afford the luxury of ignoring his insanity.
He asked a flurry of questions, by which I mean hurled insults and bigoted assumptions about Islam. I asked him if we had met. He ignored me. Then he asked me if I had seven wives. LOL.
I told him, that’s not the case, nor is that allowed in my faith. I tried to clarify and drop some knowledge of elementary orthodox Islamic jurisprudence, but he kept shouting “seven women! It’s degrading!”
Clutch pop culture reference FTW
Buddy, the grimy particulate chaos that constitutes your pathetic existence is degrading. The look you’re going for, that of a poor man’s Mickey Avalon, is degrading. Your intoxicated state is degrading.
Anyway. The bemused, jaded Starbucks staff eventually realized the usual volume of bullshit had been replaced by high-octane horse shit, and decided to intervene. They asked him to leave, finally.
“I’M HAVING A CONVERSATION!” he shouted at them. At this point, every patron and several onlookers outside are staring, some recording this incident for posterity. This might end up on WorldStar…
But I’ll settle for your Snapchat story. The police arrived shortly thereafter, and tried talking sense into him, a fool’s errand, and eventually dragged him out. I couldn’t help the intrusive thoughtstorm after…
I’m not ugly. My beard is not unkempt. My hair is fucking fabulous, you should see my regimen. Maybe it’s the longterm effects of antidepressant medication, maybe it’s my worldview, maybe it’s my hustle…
But I found this experience hilarious. Of course, that’s because I’m physically unharmed, dripping with privilege not afforded to my hijabi and niqabi sisters, more easily identifiable and therefore vulnerable…
Fuck off, France
But what does this mean? I fear for the next time, when it’s not a raving drunk but a locked-and-loaded hater with too many bullets, too few scruples and a lot of misunderstanding and appetite for my blood…
I fear for my mother and sister. I fear for my nephews. I fear for my friends. I fear for my community. This is obviously not okay. There’s so much to unpack here, and I’m still choosing to laugh instead of cry…
Okay, that’s again because of the antidepressant. I can’t cry, but that’s beside the point. I spoke with the police officers who detained the gentleman, and will follow up with wherever these cases go to die.
fluoxetine and Farooq: better love story than Twilight
If you were looking for some feel-good New Year’s lesson in all this, there’s no silver lining, so scroll elsewhere. I’m no hero. Neither am I a victim. I’m living my life unapologetically as I always have and will.
Sorry I’m not sorry. If there’s anything I gleaned from this experience, it’s that I look Muslim, which means my faith has been racialized, which means every Islamophobe can shut the fuck up that it’s not.
Also, I want seven girlfriends. One for each day of the week. Oh, that’s the testosterone, not Islam, speaking. See what I mean? Religion, texts, even human beings aren’t inherently good or bad.
this line was featured in Lon Shapiro’s “Tao of Blogging” #shamelessplug
Among many other things, I’m a marketer. As they say in my industry, content is king, but context is god. It’s all contextual. Let me place myself in his shoes. I could make seventy excuses for him…
Maybe he wasn’t loved as a child. Maybe he’s not a hugger. Maybe nobody kissed him as the confetti cleared after midnight on New Year’s. Who even knows? I know that I don’t know anything.
Know what’s funny? I don’t even drink Starbucks coffee! I prefer caffeine pills. I came here for the free Wi-Fi. I’ll be 27 in exactly 6 months from today which means this all happened on my half-birthday…
hey look even more pills — are you starting to sense a pattern here?
It could have been worse. He could have been carrying a knife or gun. Ever have an out-of-body experience where time slows down, everything seems realer, and you suddenly feel so mortal?
We take risks like this all the time. Living is risky. But what are you gonna do? Be afraid and not go outside? I tried that. It sucks more than the alternative, putting yourself out there and dealing with crap.
There’s going to be haters. There’s going to be unforeseen circumstances and coincidences and boos coming from the cheap seats. Keep it moving. They don’t want you to win, word to DJ Khaled.
Q: Is DJ Khaled even relevant anymore?
Honest to God. There’s probably some evolutionary biology explanation for the idea of hypergamous genetic replication through sexual reproduction seeming so odious an idea to the “civilized”…
James Baldwin
But don’t get me started on the “civilized”. James Baldwin did a much better job describing it than you and I ever will: “The “civilized” have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately…
and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their ‘vital interests’…
are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death; these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the “sanctity” of human life, or the conscience of civilized world.”
Would you like milk and sugar with that?
TL;DR: we drop bombs on brown kids a world away to feel safer and sleep sounder at night. What does that have to do with this? What does polygyny have to do with productivity at Starbucks?
You tell me. I’m told I’m a halfway decent writer, but I know I’m terrible at advice, philosophizing, and theorizing, so why bother? I’m trying to be more honest this year. Again, I don’t know anything.
I’ve faced hate crimes since 9/11 happened 15 years ago. I tried to kill myself for the last time over two years ago. Since then, I’ve recovered and found my voice. I live for telling stories. Let’s grab coffee.

5 Ways to Optimize PPC Campaigns for Holiday Shoppers
|
Photo by Andrea Piacquadio from Pexels
PPC campaigns are crucial to any digital marketing strategy, especially around the holidays when purchasing is *ahem* slightly up. About half of consumers who come to your site through a PPC ad are more likely to buy than organic traffic. It makes sense, right? They clicked on an ad incentivizing a purchase after all. With the holidays coming up fast, it’s the most critical time of year to optimize your PPC campaign.
Working on your budget is essential, but you need to consider these five factors to optimize your campaign for the holidays entirely.
Keywords
With PPC, it all comes back to keywords, finding the right balance of high enough volume without being too broad. Anyone with a semblance of PPC knowledge will tell you to do your keyword research, test, and refine. It’s a process, but you won’t know what works until you test it.
When finding keywords, don’t forget to include negative keywords. It can be almost as important as the keywords you are using. If you are angling your product as luxury lounge chairs, you don’t want to appear in a search for cheap recliners. It isn’t your target audience, and it only hurts your brand.
For holiday-centric campaigns, it’s also vital to include holiday phrases in your budget. Gift-givers use holiday phrases like “best stocking stuffer ideas” and “top Christmas gifts for techies,” and to run a successfully optimized PPC holiday campaign, you need to include holiday-centric keywords.
Gift-givers
Speaking of gift-givers, they should be one of your target audiences between Labor Day and New Year’s Day; they may even be your primary target audience. So much shopping during the holidays is for friends and family members, so the focus is showing why others would like the product, not the buyers. This is where including words like “gift” or “stocking-stuffer” in your keyword bidding comes in handy.
In addition to keywords, you also need to consider the different types of gift-givers. Some will go out and find gifts for everyone on their own, while others would rather have a list provided to them. Having wish lists available so gift receivers can list out the items in your store they want would make it much more manageable.
Last-Minute Shoppers
Did you know that 40% of all holiday purchases are done in the final ten days before Christmas? Consumers do most Christmas shopping early (jumping on Black Friday deals) or at the last minute.
When shopping at the last minute, the priority is to ensure it gets to the recipient in time for the holiday. Offering a guarantee that their purchase will arrive in time is critical for the last-minute shopper.
They will feel pressured to do their shopping efficiently and prioritize quick shipping. A clearly laid-out flow from ad through to the final purchase helps keep consumers on your site. Using language along the lines of “last-minute deals” in your ad text will help draw them in, then an easy purchase process will get them to convert.
Easy Buying
What’s most important when you buy someone else a gift, whether it’s for Christmas or a birthday? You want to make sure you are getting something that the gift receiver will like, and you want it to arrive in time for the big day.
You aren’t interacting with the person receiving the product, just the person giving the gift. They most likely don’t care about your brand or products, but they care that it is a stress-free buying experience and arrives on time.
Including extensions in PPC ads that advertise free shipping or guaranteed arrival before Christmas are simple ways to win over gift-givers.
At a time of year when consumers are spending more, they will be happy to see any deal they can find at a time of year. 90% of consumers say their most significant incentive to purchase is free shipping -just something to keep in mind.
Holiday-Centric LPs
Once someone clicks through your ad, you need a good landing page, so they convert into a sale instead of just bouncing from your site to another one. After all, that’s what helps the bottom line, not clicks.
Developing landing pages specific for holiday shoppers is key to getting gift-givers to convert into shoppers. The first thing to include is consistent messaging. To make the consumer feel more confident in making a purchase, give them the same message in the ad they clicked on (whether it was 40% off or free shipping) immediately visible by prominently placing it above the fold on the page. And don’t forget a festive theme for the landing page!
It also helps to make sure the LP is mobile-friendly. Consumers may do a quick search on their phone or tablet, and if the LP loads like a desktop page, it will be difficult to read, and they will likely bounce from your site.
Getting your PPC campaign implemented properly is incredibly important to having a successful holiday season. If you target gift-givers and last-minute shoppers, develop quality LPs, use holiday-specific keywords, and make purchasing as easy as possible, you’ll be sailing right into the new year.

Olympics Flashback: Jim Thorpe won two Gold medals with shoes someone had thrown in the trash
|
Jim Thorpe won two medals wearing different shoes and socks
Jim Thorpe grew up with adversity. As a Native American in the early 1900’s, he faced racial prejudice and a difficult upbringing. His twin brother died at age 9. His mother and then father died just a few years later. He became an orphan.
So when somebody stole his shoes…
So when somebody stole his shoes right before he was set to compete in the Olympics, it was probably no big deal to Jim. He simply put on two other shoes that someone had tossed in a trash can. They were different sizes, though, so he had to wear extra socks on one foot to even them out.
He went on to win two Gold medals, but that only touches the surface of what he did in those games. He won gold in the (now defunct) pentathlon, winning four of the five events (long jump, discus throw, sprint, and wrestling). The one event he didn’t win was the javelin. He’s never competed in that event for the Olympics. He finished third in the world.
He’d actually tried to throw the javelin once before, in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still, and placed second.
Back at the Olympics, he also took part in the grueling decathlon. To give you an idea of how great of an athlete he was, Thorpe finished first in four events (shot put, high jump, 110 meter hurdles, and 1,500 meters.) He finished third in four other events and 4th in two more.
After the Olympics…
Shortly after the Olympics, he broke the Amateur Athletic Union’s All-Around Championship record by winning 7 of 10 events outright and finishing second in the 3 others that make up the decathlon.
Later, a newspaper reported Thorpe had been paid to play minor league baseball in 1090 and 1910. He was stripped of his amateur status and forced to return the Gold medals. His amazing performance was erased from the Olympic record books. 70 years later, he was awarded replica Gold medals posthumously. But his records still don’t appear in the Olympic annals.
Thorpe, it seemed, could play any sport
Thorpe with the NY Giants
Thorpe would amass an amazing professional athletic career, playing baseball with the National League championship NY Giants in 1913 and continuing to play professional baseball until 1922. He batted a career-best .327 in his final season.
Thorpe also played professional football, winning championships in 1916, 1917, and 1919. He played for the Canton Bulldogs, one of the 14 teams that would become the National Football League.
He also played professional basketball, barnstorming the country with a group of other Native Americans in 1926.

Competition Often Breaks Down Mechanics, But It Doesn’t Have To…
|
“Practice makes perfect” as the old saying goes. But practice and competition are two completely different ball games, and it’s important to understand the connection between the two in order to excel at both.
Athletes train all throughout their off-season to fine tune their strengths and work out the kinks in their game, but it’s easy to lose the momentum built from preparation when the lights come on.
The difference is often in your mindset.
In order to be at your best during competition, you need to come into the game prepared, and then position yourself mentally to allow your raw talent and skills to take over.
At the end of the day, you can practice as much as Kobe Bryant, but if you don’t have that Mamba Mentality during the heat of competition, this can all be for naught.
Flow State
“Flow” is the feeling of excelling at something naturally, defined as occurring when “you’re so immersed and energized by an activity that the rest of the world seems to disappear.” (Psychology Today). This is often referred to as “being the zone.”
Flow state, while difficult to achieve, is optimal for allowing your abilities to shine through without overthinking, pressure, or stress holding you back.
Flow state occurs when the skills you’ve mastered before entering a game are matched with the adrenaline of the moment, combining to bring out the best in your abilities.
This happens effortlessly, but can be harshly contradicted by putting unnecessary pressure on yourself or feeling the need to do something extraordinary.
By positioning yourself for success mentally, your physical abilities should naturally follow suit.
Making the Mental Adjustment
The most important thing to understand is that if you’ve worked your absolute hardest, there’s no moment you don’t deserve to play in.
Your preparation justifies you being on the mound, in the field, or in the batter’s box at any given moment, and you should never feel like you have to be more than the player you are to seize the moment.
It’s often hard to handle the pressure of a big moment when you’re thinking about it. When you think too much you get tight, your heart rate goes up, your brain starts over analyzing, and you can’t get past your mistakes.
Instead, think back to all the swings you took in the cage, all the ground balls you’ve fielded in practice, all the bullpen sessions you’ve thrown. Reflecting on everything you’ve done up to that point will give you confidence, whereas focusing on what you need to do will increase the stress you put on yourself and can impair your performance.
It’s also important to understand that you will make mistakes.
Messing up is a natural part of life, but it’s how you bounce back from mistakes that will define you. It’s very easy for one mistake to compound into many if you let it get to your head.
If you strike out or make an error, shake it off, it happens to everyone! Reset your mind, and think back to all those times you did it well in practice!
Just don’t let pressure and/or shame overpower your fundamentals.
While practice is a good time to be a perfectionist, game time is not. Analyzing your mechanics during practice will help you get better, but doing so in the heat of competition will only stress you out, without leading to a positive state of mind or any additional improvement.
Change doesn’t happen overnight, and all the pressure you place on yourself at one moment in one game isn’t going to take away from the practice you have put in over the years. Positive thought can’t replace practice, but it can set you up for the success that a strong work ethic brings.
Practice Makes Perfect
Improvement is never ending.
Every time you step on the field is an opportunity for improvement, games just aren’t the time to focus on that. Competition will make you better, but it’s not the time to focus on improving your skills, it’s the time to apply them.
Practice is about working towards the bigger picture of improving yourself as a player, which is done through creating an actionable plan for growth and working hard towards it. But competition is about that exact moment, the little picture that means the world when you’re immersed within it.
By working hard in practice, you’ll trust yourself and be more confident to excel in big moments than you will from stacking up unnecessary pressure on yourself all at once.
Excelling in competition is a culmination of preparation, which comes from your hard work, and then allowing this to flow through you when it matters most, which will ultimately boost your chances of success.

Should the Government Help With Quebec’s Oral Healthcare Project? Singh Says So
|
The Leader of the New Democratic Party, Jagmeet Singh, has requested that the federal government helps to finance upcoming oral healthcare projects in Quebec. The projects aim to help those who are on low incomes or live in remote areas. The overall aim is for an increase in the opportunity for such people to receive much-needed dental care.
New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh has requested that the federal government should step in and help finance a Quebec-based pilot project that aims to improve dental care for low-income individuals and families.
Singh has consistently been a vocal supporter of increased dental care access. Singh has now written a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, urging him to assist with the pilot projects.
The project is a first-of-its-kind plan to assist those in Quebec. Many people across Canada struggle to access much-needed dental care. These pilot projects could pave the way for further projects, with the potential of helping citizens across all of Canada to have better access to dental care.
Oral health in Canada is generally strong, though there are concerning statistics. For instance, while Canadians have been listed as having the seventh-best oral health in the world, there are cost issues [1].
Research shows that in a 12-month period, just 75% of Canadians visited a dentist. 23% of Canadians said they were put off from visiting the dentist due to the cost involved [2].
Dental care is not part of . As a result, many are unable to afford it. Singh has taken notice of this. Singh has said that “too many people have found themselves in emergency rooms because of dental problems that could easily be prevented if they could afford routine dental care” [3].
The pilot projects mentioned above concern the province of Quebec. In Quebec, public dental care is offered to children under the age of 10. But otherwise, full costs apply.
Christian Dubé, the Health Minister of Quebec, recently unveiled five pilot projects that would allow Quebec to offer free dental services in certain areas.
The clinics would offer services to around 22,000 people [4]! They would specifically be for those on low incomes, or for people who are living in remote regions. The different projects are taking place in various locations across Quebec [4].
The projects will involve the recruitment of dentists, dental hygienists and other staff members. The pilot projects will cost approximately $3million in the first year [4].
This is the first phase of an overall project aimed at reducing inequalities in dental care. If this phase proves successful, a second phase could extend the services to 600,000 people [4].
Dubé commented by saying “unfortunately, with the system that we know, there are many people who go without oral care and shouldn’t have to” [4]. Dubé went on to say that if the overall project was successful, it could be replicated in other provinces in Canada [4].
Under the leadership of Singh, the NDP has supported improvements in dental care across Canada. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Singh is urging the government to assist in this project.
Singh has referred to oral health as being one of Canada’s “biggest divides”, due to how those with lower income struggled with the fees involved [5]. Moreover, Singh has stated it is “foolish that your tongue and your throat is covered by the public health system, but not your teeth” [3].
The NDP made a modest improvement at the recent Canadian federal election. They secured approximately 18% of the national vote. Their approach to oral healthcare has proven popular.
Singh is now putting pressure on the federal government to act. Singh is hoping that by assisting with these projects, that it will increase the chances of a successful outcome. Therefore, further investment may follow. As a result, those with low incomes could get improved oral healthcare, which is an area that Singh is clearly passionate about.
is a Calgary Dental Clinic that offer many services, including regular check-ups, cavity fillings, and .
It is important for dental problems to be addressed early. Any oral-based problems will be identified at check-ups. This helps to prevent the problem getting worse. If and when further treatment is needed after a check-up, our patients receive a clear treatment plan.
The best way of avoiding extra treatment is to have strong oral hygiene. This includes brushing our teeth at least twice a day, flossing regularly, and getting a dental check-up at least twice a year. Avoiding sugary foods and drink and not smoking also helps.
Our Calgary-based dental clinic also follows the . This means our prices are competitive, transparent and affordable. Alberta Dental Fee Guide

The Dental ‘High’

Cannabis is a flowering plant found all over the world, with a widespread past of consumption for industrial, recreational, and medicinal purposes. It acts as a mild sedative, narcotic and mood enhancer for recreational users and is used for its pain-relieving and anti-emetic (regulation of vomiting and nausea) properties in medical uses. Pharmaceutical administration in tablet or capsule form is more common among individuals who are not accustomed to smoking recreationally, and most studies do not show a significant difference in effectiveness among modes of administration.
The evidence base for cannabis use as a medicinal drug is in its infancy. There is some suggestion which supports cannabis as an anti-emetic and as an appetite stimulator for patients with Cancer and AIDS, as well as a pain and spasm reducer for several chronic conditions. Some findings have proposed that cannabis has anti-inflammatory or anti-bacterial properties, as well as having effectiveness as a therapy for glaucoma because of its properties in relieving intraocular pressure. Therapeutic cannabis can be given in botanical (i.e., smoked) form, added as an ingredient in food, inhaled as a vapor/mist, applied topically, or ingested as a pharmaceutically manufactured medication.
The practice of cannabis, chiefly marijuana smoking, has been linked with reduced quality of oral health, but identifying the root cause has been difficult by several accompanying influences with regular users, comprising of parallel use of tobacco, alcohol abuse, and other drugs; poor oral hygiene practices; and irregular appointments to dentists. It also leads to xerostomia (dry mouth), which can add to numerous oral health ailments. Further, the main component, THC (phototropic drug which works by adjusting the brain chemicals or neurotransmitters), is an appetite stimulant, which frequently leads users to eat snack foods which cause dental caries. Consistent cannabis consumers are identified to have considerably greater numbers of caries than non-users, mainly on the easy-to-reach smooth surfaces.
Smoking marijuana is linked with gingival swelling, Erythroplakia (thick red patches located inside the cheek) and chronic inflammation in the oral cavity with hyperkeratosis and leukoplakia (thick white patches located inside the cheek), occasionally indicated as “Cannabis Stomatitis,” which can advance into a cancerous growth. It has been studied that a collaborative influence between tobacco and cannabis smoke may escalate oral and neck cancer threats for individuals who smoke both. The danger and hostility of cancer cells connected with cannabis seem to be higher in younger (i.e., <50 years old) users. The immunosuppressive properties of cannabis may add as well to a greater incidence of oral candidiasis compared to non-users. Considerably greater percentages of periodontitis were detected amongst the everyday users as compared to non-users, with suggestively higher statistics of areas with high pocket depths (≥4 mm) and attachment loss.
A present intoxicated (i.e., “high”) consumer may present numerous problems for the dental practitioner. Added unease, fear and hyperactivity may increase the trauma of a dental appointment. Increased heart rate and other properties of cannabis make the practice of local anaesthetics (for pain control in dental procedures) possibly life-threatening. Patients may be reluctant to self-report marijuana habits or incapable to answer reliably, but identification of inebriation may be achieved through the routine cardiac risk assessment. It is because of the threats of dispensing epinephrine or drugs comprising of alcohol to a ‘high’ patient, totalling to amplified apprehension and fear, that dentists may reject to treat the inebriated patient or contemplate rescheduling of any non-emergency treatment for at least 24 hours. Moreover, there may be legal consequences concerning the rationality of informed consent with intoxicated patients, principally with permanent procedures like extractions.
If the patient seems to be a consumer, it may be supportive to know if the use is medicinal, as this may propose significant co-ailments. Confirmation of cannabis use may be an occasion to converse with other health concerns and advise the patient of the significance of fluoride, good oral hygiene practices, and healthy snacking. It is also recommended to ask the patient to finish a detailed oral checkup examination which contains questions about cannabis use and an in-depth dental and medical history, stress the significance of routine dental appointments and oral care, recommend nourishing, wholesome snacks over sweet, cariogenic snacks, discuss using preventive procedures, such as topical fluorides, discuss treatment for xerostomia, while avoiding alcohol-containing products.

Things to Consider While Selecting the Right Toothbrush
|
For many of us, selecting a toothbrush is as simple as inhaling oxygen. But are all toothbrushes the same?
Do we need to pay attention while selecting any toothbrush?
Just as you cannot underestimate the power of good oral hygiene, similarly, you cannot understand the power of a perfect toothbrush.
But, wait. How to select the perfect one? Nowadays, most of the stores sell toothbrushes with a vast variety– manual or electric with straight or round bristles. So, how do you go about selecting the right toothbrush?
Suggested Factors To Consider While Choosing The Right Toothbrush-
1. Toothbrush Head:
Before selecting any toothbrush, remember that small toothbrush heads are better and effective compared to large ones. These small heads can easily penetrate the corners and reach out to the sides of molars for efficient cleaning.
However, there’s no one-fits-all size. It is recommended to see your respective dentists to select a perfect toothbrush that goes right with the size and is easy to grip too!
2. Toothbrush Filaments or Bristles:
Toothbrush filaments are available in three forms — soft, medium, and hard. Toothbrushes with hard bristles are abrasive. It can damage the tooth enamel and make them sensitive.
Always choose soft bristles for oral cleaning because it won’t cause any collateral damage. It is quite often the best approach.
3. ADA Approved:
Always look for an ADA seal while buying any toothbrush. This seal signifies –
• A toothbrush is thoroughly tested and examined and the brush heads have through clinical trials too
• The handle is strong and durable and can be recommended for daily use
• Bristles have safe tips and won’t draw off frequently from the toothbrush
4. Rounded VS Straight Bristles:
Have you ever noticed the tip of your toothbrush bristle? It comes into different forms — rounded and straight. At once, you may ignore the shape of the bristle, but, in a real sense, it has a huge impact on your oral health.
Straight bristles and rounded bristles both are good in terms of oral cleaning. However straight bristles do more harm than good because they have sharp and jagged tips. This can further increase the chances of inflammation and infection.
How often should I replace my toothbrush?
Your toothbrush is the first line of guard against bacteria and germs and bad breath. Therefore you should be proactive towards changing your toothbrush to protect your teeth from cavities and gum problems.
Ideally, you should replace your toothbrush after every three months or when it begins to show wear.

Understanding Periodontitis: Can I really lose all my teeth?
|
Periodontitis is a serious disease of the gums and affects all the surrounding structures of the teeth- the gums, the periodontal ligament, and the bone. If you or someone you love are experiencing any symptoms of periodontitis, it is important to see a dentist immediately. Read on to learn more about this disease, why it occurs, and how you can prevent it.
What is Periodontitis?
Periodontitis is basically infection of the tissues surrounding the teeth. Just as we have shock absorbers for our vehicles to keep the vehicles running smooth and function properly similarly the surrounding structures of the gums that is the periodontium act as shock absorbers for our chewing action. Infection of these surrounding structures follows after the infection of the gums that is gingivitis.
The Culprit
Dental Plaque is the main cause behind gum disease. If left on your teeth for long, plaque can harden or calcify and turn into calculus, which can only be cleaned by a dental professional. Accumulation of dental plaque or calculus leads to gum inflammation or gingivitis. Eventually, they start accumulating below the line of the gums, triggering a response by the body’s immune system. This response by the body leads to the destruction of the tissue around the teeth, and eventually the bones.
Who should be at higher alert?
Certain factors make one more prone to developing periodontitis. These are –
Heart Disease
Diabetes
Respiratory diseases
Blood disorders
Pre-existing genetic conditions
Auto-immune conditions
Pregnancy
Smoking
Signs and Symptoms
Here are signs of periodontitis that you should look out for :
Bright red gums
Bleeding from the gums on touching with a toothbrush or flossing
Swollen gums
Soreness or itchiness in the gums
Increased gap in between two teeth
Gum line moving back, or teeth that appear longer than usual (receding gums)
Wobbly or movable teeth
Pus in the gums
Foul mouth odor
What should you do if you see these signs?
If you experience any of the above signs, you must go see your dentist immediately. Start with salt water rinses as a home remedy to calm down some of the inflammation. It is better not to take any medicines without first asking your dentist. Your dentist may take radiographs of your mouth and ask for a blood test to diagnose the cause and extent of your condition.
Initial Treatment
If your disease is in the early stages, your dentist will start by cleaning your teeth or exposed roots with the help of an ultrasonic scaler. They will also prescribe you mouthwash and any other medicines like antibiotics if you need them.
Periodontitis is generally a long disease that reoccurs very easily if you don’t maintain proper oral hygiene. If your dentist diagnoses you with periodontitis, make sure to go for any follow-up appointments.
Advanced Treatment
For more serious cases of periodontitis, you may require surgery for your gums. These surgeries generally involve the dentist raising a flap of the gum to better view, and clean the tooth, tissue, and bone under the gums.
Remember, you needn’t be scared at the mention of surgery. The tissues of the periodontium generally have a fast healing rate. All you should do is make sure you follow your dentist’s instructions, take any medication on time, and maintain good oral hygiene.
What happens if you avoid the dentist?Periodontitis can progress pretty quickly in the absence of oral hygiene. It can lead to bone loss and loose teeth, which makes eating very difficult. If allowed to progress, you may lose all your teeth! For people with pre-existing diseases, periodontitis can also have a role in exacerbating these. Thus, It is necessary to get treated immediately.

Dental care for cancer patients
|
Oral cancer requires surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of all 3 to treat it. Surgery removes the local malignancy, chemotherapy uses medicines, and radiation therapy uses high-level radiations to destroy cancer cells.
All 3 of these methods, cause a lot of side effects like dry mouth, ulcers, difficulty in swallowing, sensitivity to spicy or sour foods, increased risk of tooth decay, etc. Luckily proper care and precautions can help manage all of these symptoms.
Care before treatment
Visit a dentist if you see any signs or symptoms of oral cancer. Your dentist will advise you to go for a full mouth cleaning to reduce the bacterial load in your mouth to prevent further susceptible infections.
Treat the decayed or broken teeth and any other oral infections.
Remove braces or any permanent retainers to avoid irritation.
Get all your lose/ill-fitting prosthesis crowns etc. fitted properly.
Tooth removal if required should be done at least 2–3 weeks before radiation therapy and 7–10 days before chemotherapy.
Fluoride application treatments are done to reduce teeth demineralization after radiation therapies. Remember that the better prepared you are before the treatment, the lesser the side-effects you face. So get all your dental work in order 2–3 weeks before you start your treatment.
During the treatment
Mouth rinse with fluorides (0.05%) like phos flor, or alcohol-free mouthwashes like hexidine will soothe sore mouth and prevent cavities.
Use an ultra-soft brush to clean your teeth and avoid bleeding gums e.g. Oral-B ultra-thin, Colgate sensitive.
Sip water throughout the day to alleviate a dry mouth. Suck on ice chips to alleviate pain and soothe your mucosa.
Avoid things that can dry out your mouth, such as soda, citric fruit juice, alcohol. avoid having spicy food as they too could cause irritations and burning sensations.
Having sugar-free chewing gum with xylitol will increase salivary flow and helps to reduce dry mouth. Gengigel or Gelclair medicament gels create a layer around your mucosa and protect it from drying out.
For jaw pain, ask your doctor for a suitable painkiller. Remember to take your medicines and multivitamins as prescribed by your doctor.
Fungal infections are common during the treatment, but self- medication is not advised. Visit your dentist at the earliest to get an appropriate prescription. After the treatment
Cancer treatment will leave your mouth highly susceptible to dental problems. That is why regular dental visits are a must to catch and treat dental problems early.
Calcium repair mousse-like GC mousse slowly re-mineralize the enamel making the teeth strong and less prone to decay.
Maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet. Eat a lot of foods rich in Vitamin D like fish to maintain bone health.
Keep gums healthy by using good flossing devices like interdental brushes or Waterpik (water jet floss)
Brush twice a day with a good fluoridated toothpaste.

5 Tips to Finding Affordable Dental Care — Our Guide

5 Tips to Finding Affordable Dental Care
Oral health care has a direct impact on your general health, making it crucial for you to find excellent dental care that is suitable for you and your family. Unfortunately, hunting for a place that fits your budget as well as your needs can be a frustrating task, especially if you want a clinic that can maintain exemplary quality of work without drilling more holes in your wallet than your teeth.
Skipping out on your regular dental visits should not be an option as it is necessary to maintain a healthy mouth. Fortunately, there are numerous low-cost care options for those who think that dental care is beyond their reach.
Here are a few tips:
Tip #1: Take Advantage of Local, Low-Cost Clinics
Low-cost health facilities are typically funded by the federal government, so this is the next best option if you’re looking to find quality dental care on a tight budget. While the services they offer are not as comprehensive, these clinics are still excellent options for minor treatments such as regular cleanings, fillings, root canals, and dental crowns. There are tools available online where you can enter your zip code to search for the nearest dental clinic near your area.
Tip #2: Take Advantage of Student Discounts or Promotional Rates
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to afford braces for your children, you can ask your local dentist whether they offer a promotional rate students. These are not the same as student-based discounts on insurance plans, but rather, select dentists may find it reasonable to offer an additional discount for those families with immediate needs and little-to-no means to achieve them. This may be difficult to find online, but a good place to look is at national or franchise dental clinics.
Tip #3: Take Advantage of Dental Schools
There are roughly 65 accredited dental schools in the U.S., all of which are staffed by talented, graduating students who are overseen by their professors and professional dentists. While you may not get the most extensive services here, this is one of the best places to receive general oral care as dental schools offer their services for half the price of a traditional dental clinic. Since these schools are accredited and as mentioned, all practitioners are watched over by their professional counterpart, you can have peace of mind knowing that you will still be able to receive top-notch quality care.
Tip #4: Take Advantage of Low-Income Options
Families with special needs and a low income are offered multiple programs and clinics that are federally funded, such as HRSA health centers or privately funded free clinics that offer either discounted or free dental care. There are a number of nonprofit programs and groups that also cater to help struggling families in need, such as Dental Lifeline Network which offers free dental care for the elderly and disabled; Remote Area Medical, and even American Indians and Alaska Natives can find support from the Indian Health Service. You can also visit toothwisdom.org, which was created by Oral Health America to help low-income families locate affordable dental clinics.

3 Facts about Clear Aligners that will make you Smile
|
It is true that we all love beautiful smiles, but unfortunately, we are not all blessed with the best teeth conditions which make us uncomfortable with our beautiful natural smiles. But thankfully, now we have painless smile enhancement procedures that could help you get your perfect smile easily and comfortably.
Be it a social setting, business meeting, chance to encounter a school contest, a smile can make a huge difference. It also changes things if you are not comfortable with your teeth. We are fortunate to have invisible aligners-The invisible way to straighten teeth without wired braces.
As a result of clear aligners, people have changed their views on orthodontics. Aligners have been designed to eliminate most of the disadvantages of getting teeth straightening with braces treatment. As a result, you’ll have a straighter smile and healthier teeth that are easier to maintain.
Here are a few facts on aligners:
Clear braces/aligners are removable orthodontic accessories used to straighten teeth or correct wide gaps between teeth. The aligners are nearly “invisible,” and they function pretty much as traditional braces treatment. Aligners are so relaxing to wear even while sleeping. Although, some people say that clear aligners can be unpleasant for the first few days but afterwards, they are so comfortable that they don’t even get to know if they are wearing them. As aligners provide slight pressure to your teeth for the movement to happen, but not so much that it causes discomfort. You may expect a comfortable orthodontic experience after you’ve become used to them. Aligners are removable hence, you can eat all your favorite food by taking them out without the fear of jeopardising your treatment.
However, the aligners must be worn for at least 22 hours every day. This implies you should only remove them while you are eating or drinking something other than room temperature water. Please refrain from eating or drinking while you are wearing your aligners.
How to take care of your aligners?
Did you know, Aligners are really simple to maintain.
Your treatment will be successful as long as you follow the dentist’s recommendations. Fortunately, these directions are very simple and straightforward. They are as follows:
Always rinse your aligners after removing them. When you wear clear aligners, you must always remove them before eating. When you’re done, make sure to rinse them right away. Wear your aligners for a minimum of 22 hours each day. Desired results cannot be achieved when the aligners are not worn for the specified amount of time. While the aligners are on your teeth, you should not drink or eat anything. You can, however, drink only room temperature water. Brush and Floss Your Teeth prior to each wear.
Bacteria begin to reappear after brushing and flossing. This is why you have fresh breath just after cleaning your teeth, and it varies over time. As a result, cleaning and flossing your teeth before putting on your clear aligners is very important. It will assist you in avoiding dental issues caused by poor oral hygiene and in maintaining a clean mouth for a longer period of time.

Drone Market Ecosystem map
|
After looking into both the VR and IoT space, I wanted to dig in and understand the drone ecosystem and how all of the various players fit together.
Some caveats before we dive into the analysis.
This ecosystem map is not designed to be 100% comprehensive. It’s more to understand all the different spaces within drones.
I am biased towards startups in the space.
If I am missing something tweet me @mccannatron.
This space is developing quickly so take this into consideration.
Observations
Drones are hard to categorize. The drones (hardware) themselves are multi purpose and can be used as a tool for any function. I categorized them based on how each drone company talked about themselves on their home page (see the areas under “commercial”).
It’s interesting to see a few drone companies verticalize and provide the hardware, tools, software, and analysis for a specific market. For example Sky Futures is for oil and gas, Avetics is for film and photography, etc.
It’s interesting to see corporations experiment with drones, most notably in the delivery space. This includes Amazon & Alibaba and also the existing shipping companies: DHL and UPS. One report states that a Chinese Shipping company called SF express is already delivering 500 packages a day via drone. (I can't tell how believable this is).
There is a whole ecosystem developing around the hardware of drones including: insurance, fleet management, marketplaces, data analytics for drone data, etc.
Once the long range programmable drones hit widespread adoption in the consumer and enterprise sector, this could be the first inflection point. For example this drone pictured below made by Airborne Drones can fly up to 90 min, is programmable, has a range up to 12 miles, and can carry 17 pounds.
Company observations
Commercial
If you are thinking about starting or going into the commercial drone market, I would pay attention to all of the various sub industries within the commercial market. I pulled all of these from the websites of all of the commercial drone companies, on the markets they said they served.
Sub industries within Commercial: Agriculture, Construction, Infrastructure, Oil & Gas Utilities, Mining, Inspection, Wildlife, Environment, Humanitarian, Public Safety Mapping, GIS, Surveying, Cinematography, Videography, Advertising, Law Enforcement, and Maritime.
Consumer
From various estimates I have read it looks like DJI has between a 60% and 70% drone marketshare within the consumer space. DJI was reported to have done around $500M in revenue for 2014 and on track to do $1B in sales this year.
EDIT- As many people pointed out DJI drones are widely being used in commercial applications and is the top of the list for FAA exemptions. All that being said I still consider DJI to be a consumer centric company, which many enterprise centric companies can leverage for use in commercial applications.
Marketplace
Insurance/Education
Very interesting to see the big players in insurance — AIG and StateFarm — trying out drone insurance. I’d pay attention to Skyward.
DartDrones is one of the few FAA certified drone flight schools. Depending on the FAA regulations and insurance standards, these types of schools could become important.

Day 314: Trump Just Can’t Let Birtherism or Vote Totals Go
|
Donald Trump is still obsessed with Barack Obama’s birth certificate and with popular vote counts that showed a nearly three million vote loss to Hillary Clinton last year.
According to The New York Times, Trump constantly harps on both to advisers and elected officials.
In recent months, they say, Mr. Trump has used closed-door conversations to question the authenticity of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. He has also repeatedly claimed that he lost the popular vote last year because of widespread voter fraud, according to advisers and lawmakers. “One senator who listened as the president revived his doubts about Mr. Obama’s birth certificate chuckled on Tuesday as recalled the conversation. The president, he said, has had a hard time letting go of his claim that Mr. Obama was not born in the United States. The senator asked not to be named to discuss private conversations.
There are an infinite number of problems that Trump could be dealing with to, in some way, help the United States. Instead — no doubt with race playing a factor — Trump is still consumed with thoughts about Obama’s birth certificate and — no doubt with insecurity playing a factor — about popular vote totals from an election more than a year ago.
Both issues are over and put to bed, but Trump can’t seem to follow them there.

INTO THE FRAY: The UN vote on Jerusalem: A disturbing diplomatic debacle
|
The UN General Assembly voting on the status of Jerusalem
By MARTIN SHERMAN
When India supports an anti-Israel resolution, while Croatia, Romania, and Ukraine do not — invoking ingrained anti-Semitism rings somewhat hollow, and alternative explanations are called for
The General Assembly …[a]ffirms that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded … and in this regard, calls upon all States to refrain from the establishment of diplomatic missions in the Holy City of Jerusalem — Excerpt from UN General Assembly resolution ES-10/L.22, December 21, 2017 proposed by Yemen and Turkey, demanding that the US retract its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The U.N. General Assembly on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a measure rejecting the Trump administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a stunning rebuke of a U.S. decision that allies and adversaries alike warned would undermine prospects for peace — Washington Post, December 21, 2017
A consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually…If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions — Abba Eban, Israel’s Foreign Minister, 1966–74.
On Thursday, December 21, 2017, the world — almost unanimously — voted against the Jews and their nation-state, Israel.
Reprehensible resolution
On that day, the United Nations General Assembly, in an Emergency Session, voted by an overwhelming majority in favor of a resolution so absurd that it would be inconceivable in almost any other context in which Jews were not those singled out by it for rebuke.
It was a reprehensible resolution!
Indeed, it flew in the face of historical truth, current reality and any ethical standard of common decency.
Under any other circumstances, it would be unthinkable that a sovereign country would be denied the right to determine which city should serve as its capital — especially when that city is inseparably associated with its history, predating the existence of virtually all its UN critics. Similarly, under any other circumstances it would be inconceivable that another sovereign nation would be singled out for reprimand for recognizing such historical association and acknowledging the city as the designated capital of that country.
To make the phenomenon even more absurd, the alleged rationale for the resolution was that it was designed to prevent prejudging the outcome of the decades-long dispute between Arab and Jew for control over the Holy Land, in general, and over Jerusalem, in particular — and keep open the possibility of somehow resolving the conflict by the establishment of a Judeophobic, homophobic, misogynistic Muslim-majority tyranny in the areas (including the eastern section of Jerusalem) lost by Jordan in 1967 in its failed attempt to annihilate the Jewish state.
Go figure!
Double disgrace
The decision — affirmed by 128 member states and opposed by 9, with 35 abstaining and 21 absenting themselves from the vote — to deem US recognition of Jerusalem (albeit within undefined borders) “null and void” was a double disgrace.
Firstly, it was a mark of shame for all the countries that did not oppose it — including those who abstained and/or absented themselves from the vote. For there is scarcely more honor in refraining from such an ignominious motion than there is in supporting it — especially when such feigned neutrality ensures its overwhelming endorsement.
But there was another element of disgrace attached to the results of UN vote on Jerusalem, and it is one that Israel, itself, must bear — or at least one that those charged with formulating and executing Israel’s strategic diplomacy (assuming any existence thereof) must bear.
For the results of vote reflect a devastating failure of Israeli diplomacy–despite the unwavering backing of the most powerful UN member state, the US.
Indeed, had Israel, over the past near-decade, since the so-called Israeli “Right” regained the reins of power, conducted an effective and adequately funded strategic diplomatic offensive, this kind of international rejection of elementary Jewish rights would have been unthinkable.
I realize that many will find this a highly contentious contention — but I am convinced of its validity and the urgent need to address the peril it portends.
Raining on the parade: What if Hillary had won?
Of course, I do not wish to “rain on the parade” and diminish the significance of the diplomatic victory entailed in the Trump administration’s decision to acknowledge the indisputable facts on the ground and recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital — and to set in motion preparations to transfer the US embassy to the city.
However, this fortunate outcome is hardly the result of Israel’s diplomatic strategy, but rather the unexpected outcome of the 2016 presidential election in the US.
Indeed, one shudders to think of what would have happened, if ,as widely predicted, Hillary Clinton had won — especially given the precedent set by the
US ambassador to UN, Samantha Power, refraining from veto on anti-Israel resolution
Obama-administration in withholding the US veto against a virulently anti-Israeli resolution, allowing it to pass unopposed in the Security Council in December 2016. After all, it is far from implausible that, if the elections has gone as expected, Israel would have been facing a very different, and far more hostile, global environment — with the prospect of international sanctions, not merely international censure, becoming increasingly tangible.
Accordingly, with so much at stake, it hardly seems a reasonable or responsible policy to leave such fateful issues dependent on the fortuitous workings of chance. So, perhaps the most important lesson to be derived from the dismal UN vote last week, is something that should have been painfully obvious for years — but sadly has not been: Israel needs to adopt a far more robust and proactive posture in determining is international stature among the nations of the world.
Cold comfort
For the results of vote were in fact far worse than the mere numerical tally — in itself dismaying enough — would suggest.
For the fact that nine nations voted against the resolution is cold comfort indeed. After all, out of those nine, two were Israel and the US themselves, against whom resolution was directed. Of the remaining seven, a majority — four — were tiny and remote islands in the Pacific (Nauru, Palau, the Marshall Islands and Micronesia), whose combined population is less than 200,000, and whose total area comprises under1500 sq km. The remaining three — Togo, Guatemala and Honduras — are, with all due respect, not countries that marshal huge international influence.
Trump & Netanyahu: Alone against the world?
Accordingly, it would, in large measure, be accurate to admit that Israel and the Trump administration were left in splendid isolation against the entire world. This should be a matter of serious concern — for there is little guarantee as to the durability of the Trump incumbency or of the political proclivity of any potential successor.
This, then, is a totally unacceptable situation and one on which Israel can ill-afford to be either complacent or fatalistic — complacent in the sense that the resolution has no practical effect and thus there no need for serious concern; fatalistic in the sense that because of inherent anti-Semitism, the dice is inevitably “loaded” against Israel and hence, there is no point in serious concern.
Both these claims should be resolutely rejected.
Inexcusably and inexplicably remiss
For years Israel has been inexcusably and inexplicably remiss in presenting its case to the world and equally remiss in undermining and discrediting that of its Arab adversaries.
This dangerous disregard is best reflected by two grave lacunae: (a) the hopelessly inadequate resources devoted to Israeli diplomacy in general and to public diplomacy in particular; and (b) Israel’s official embrace of “Palestinian nationhood” and its consequent reluctance to delegitimize the fallacious narrative on which it is based, and the mendacious myths that underpin it.
This dereliction of diplomatic duty is having dire consequences on several levels. Arguably, among the two most severe are the growing threat to bi-partisan backing Israel has traditionally enjoyed in the US, and the disturbing erosion of support among the younger generation (i.e. tomorrow’s leaders) — even within the generally overwhelming pro-Israel Evangelical community
For over more than half-a-decade I have warned, constantly and consistently, of the potential perils entailed in this ongoing mindless neglect of the indispensable role public diplomacy has in the nation’s strategic arsenal, and how defeat in the field of public opinion is liable to lead to setbacks on other, more tangible, battlefields. I have urged that Israel dramatically upgrade the resources devoted to public diplomacy — on which it is currently spending,globally,less than a medium-large sized Israeli corporation would spend on promoting fast food and snacks! Indeed, I have called to allot 1% of state budget — one billion dollars — for a strategic public diplomacy offensive, designed to create a diplomatic “iron dome” to protect Israel from incoming barrages of delegitimization and demonization that precipitate the kind of debacle that occurred last week at the UN.
The stirring annals of Zionist endeavor
What makes a resolution voiding and nullifying Israel’s claim to Jerusalem as its capital particularly galling, is the total obfuscation — indeed, concealment — of the conditions that reigned in the city prior to it falling to Israel in the Six-Day War: When Arab Legion snipers, atop the walls of the old city, shot at
Arab Legion on Wall on the Old City of Jerusalem prior to 1967
random passers-by in the western sector of the city, when Jews were barred from entering the Jordanian controlled portions, when Jewish holy sites were desecrated, and when Jewish gravestones were used as building material. Yet no emergency session of the UN was convened to discuss and denounce these outrageous violations of religious and historic rights. Only today, when religious freedoms are scrupulously observed, does the international community find it fit to express its concern over the situation in the city.
But Israel has been partially complicit — at least passively — in permitting this perverse state of affairs to emerge — at least by default — and allowing pejorative connotations to be attached to the word “Zionism”.
After all, the rebirth of Jewish nationhood and the annals of Zionist endeavor are, undoubtedly, one of most stirring chapters of modern history. It is an enterprise that has achieved remarkable feats against impossible odds. Indeed, Zionism, as the national freedom movement of the Jewish people, has been the most successful of all national freedom movements in the last century. It has attained a combination of political independence, economic prosperity and individual liberties for its people, unmatched in virtually any other country born of the dissolution of the European empires. Beyond its borders, Israel has made amazing contributions to humanity — in medicine, agriculture, computing, communications. It has conducted remarkable humanitarian operations in disaster areas across the globe — from Nepal to Haiti.
Diplomatic incompetence not inherent anti-Semitism?
Yet instead of being held up as a model to be emulated, Zionism is being portrayed as a scourge to be denigrated.
The knee-jerk reaction to all this bitter enmity has been to attribute it to inherent and pervasive anti-Semitism. Now, while I do not want to dismiss — or even downplay — the pernicious impact of innate Judeophobia in many countries today, to attribute all, even most, anti-Israel animosity to it, is a little like searching under the light of a lamppost for the proverbial coin which was lost elsewhere in the dark,.
Indeed, as an explanation, it is a very partial one at best. For when a country like India, whose history is virtually devoid of any anti-Semitism, disappointingly supports the resolution, while countries like Croatia, Romania, and Ukraine, whose histories are replete with such infamy, do not, then invoking ingrained anti-Semitism rings somewhat hollow — and alternative, or at least supplementary, explanations are called for — like diplomatic incompetence for example.
The two, however, might not be totally unrelated. Indeed, as I have pointed out elsewhere “[c]ontinued impotence and incompetence in the (mis)conduct of Israel’s public diplomacy is becoming not only a strategic threat to the country but is beginning to imperil Jewish communities abroad.” For when the Jewish state allows itself to be so vilified, so too are those seen to be associated with it — i.e. the Jewish communities abroad.
“Israel…has vacated the battlefield of ideas”
In an incisive and insightful interview on Israel television several years ago, prominent British journalist, Melanie Phillips, excoriated Israel’s public diplomacy (hasbarah) as a “joke” and contended that in that, in the fight for world opinion, Israel had “vacated the battle field of ideas”
Today’s leadership should heed her words, and launch a massive assault on international public opinion to ensure that the recent diplomatic debacle at the UN will in the future be impossible — or at least, highly, unlikely.
After all, no-one knows who the next White House incumbent will be — or when his/hers incumbency will begin…

The First Year
A brief reflection on my first year of political blogging in the Trump era Kimberly Joyner Dec 31, 2017·3 min read
Throughout its inaugural year, I explored a good range of topics on my blog — from Trump’s female props in conservative media to the disappearance of anti-war activism in an era rife with political resistance. But what I enjoyed writing about the most — and where I feel my knowledge base is strongest — is the insurgency in each of the two major political parties.
I was inspired to begin this blog in January 2017 because as a young black voter I had not felt particularly aligned with either the Bernie Sanders or the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, and felt each base held valid claims to their grievances with the other base. In essence, I wanted to deliver fair, level-headed analysis of the schism that had formed inside the Democratic Party.
However, I soon realized that my analysis propped up a binary that I didn’t find sustainable. The resistance wasn’t pro-establishment or “center-left”. And Sanders-aligned progressives weren’t anti-triangulation or less amendable to finding consensus with conservative voters than mainstream liberals were. In other words, the politics of insurgency were more complex and cut across more lines than Bernie vs. Hillary led me to believe. I acknowledged this in a few of my posts, but there is still so much more I would like to explore — and to do so more explicitly.
That said, in 2018 my writing will focus primarily on the many layers of resistance in the Trump era, and how different constituencies obtain power in a thoroughly unrepresentative two-party system. This will include both right-wing and left-wing insurgent movements in the parties, and any effort toward a third party movement ahead of 2020.
I will also be more intentional about elevating the black resistance, and exploring in more depth the tensions between traditional black constituencies in the Democratic Party and the party-ambivalent black left. For instance, soon I will be publishing a piece that gauges the prospects for a black female Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 based on the race and gender politics surrounding the 2016 presidential election and several special elections in southern states this year.
Of course, this blog isn’t just for analyzing American politics in the Trump era. I also aim to grow as a writer and to elevate the progressive agenda. Fairness is important to me, but so is honesty about what causes I intend for my perspective to serve. I support efforts to remake the Democratic Party from the bottom up, and to elect more left-leaning independent and progressive candidates to office in 2018 and beyond. These efforts will be a focus of my blog in the coming year as well.

Do you shame other women?
|
To all my fellow Americans, I hope you had a delicious, homemade meal last week that filled your bellies and left you feeling grateful and slightly stuffed on love.
About a year ago, I wrote a blog that I was advised, by someone I trusted, to hold back on submitting to my regular outposts like Medium and Huffington Post because it was controversial.
In hindsight, I listened too much to this person and not enough to my own voice.
You can read the blog here.
It’s about my feelings on last year’s election and how fellow women in the coaching space behaved. I was unsettled and turned off by their outright railing of Trump. There were moments I felt less of a woman because I wasn’t jumping on this so-called feminist bandwagon.
In Brene Brown’s, Braving the Wilderness, I came across a quote. I literally started jumping out of my skin as I was reading it. I found myself thinking, This is exactly what I was feeling and expressing a year ago when I wrote my blog on election day.
Here it is:
“Here’s what I believe: 1. If you are offended or hurt when you hear Hillary Clinton or Maxine Waters called bitch, whore, or the c-word, you should be equally offended and hurt when you hear those same words used to describe Ivanka Trump, Kellyanne Conway, or Theresa May. 2. If you felt belittled when Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters “a basket of deplorables” then you should have felt equally concerned when Eric Trump said “Democrats aren’t even human.” 3. When the president of the United States calls women dogs or talks about grabbing pussy, we should get chills down our spine and resistance flowing through our veins. When people call the president of the United States a pig, we should reject that language regardless of our politics and demand discourse that doesn’t make people subhuman. 4. When we hear people referred to as animals or aliens, we should immediately wonder, “Is this an attempt to reduce someone’s humanity so we can get away with hurting them or denying them basic human rights?” 5. If you’re offended by a meme of Trump Photoshopped to look like Hitler, then you shouldn’t have Obama Photoshopped to look like the Joker on your Facebook feed. There is a line. It’s etched from dignity. And raging, fearful people from the right and left are crossing it at unprecedented rates every single day. We must never tolerate dehumanization — the primary instrument of violence that has been used in every genocide recorded throughout history.”
I couldn’t get on board with language that made Trump subhuman during a clamor for more humanity so women could rise.
I remember how I felt when I wrote that blog. I rushed out the door to write it after I heard the election result. Heart, courage, excitement and inspiration was flowing through my veins. Working from that place is such a remarkable experience. Here’s to more of them, more often.
Thank you, Brene, for helping me have more conviction in my own thought process when I felt I was the only one.
Thank you for reminding me about the power of my own words.
This blog isn’t about politics. It’s about the ability to find our voice and use it confidently in the world when we use love and intention as our guiding principles.
It’s about aligning with people who help us believe in ourselves just that little bit more, and who help us find more articulate ways of expressing ourselves.
It’s about broadening our perspective so we have a human and tolerant view of the landscape.
I feel invigorated about the woman I am and the perspective I have to share with the world. That leaves me feeling more juicy than ever.
What perspective would you like to share with the world that, until now, you have been sharing too quietly? Leave your answer below.
To Your Amazing Spirit.
Much Love,
Sarah xxx

Indian-American Kamala Harris is on the Inside Track to U.S. Presidency
|
A half-Indian/half-African woman of colour is the strongest contender to be the next president of the United States according to bettors.
U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-California) placed first in PredictIt’s betting pool for the Democratic presidential nomination on 1 December 2017, US News and World Report noted. Harris was still number two in the betting for the Democratic nomination on 24 December 2017, behind U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont).
PredictiIt’s bettors chose Harris over such well-known Democrats as former Vice President Joseph Biden, Massachusetts Senator Liz Warren, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. That makes her the strongest candidate in the Democratic nomination race; because Sanders is 76-years old, so he might not be capable of running in 2020.
PredictIt’s track record on picking election winners is questionable. Its bettors favoured Republican Roy Moore to win the December 12, U.S. Senate Election in Alabama. Democrat Doug Jones won, but bets for the winner paid more; 98¢ (£0.73) for Jones to 2¢ (£0.01) for Moore. Harris bets were worth more than Sanders, at 85¢ (£0.71) to 80¢ (£0.67) for Bernie on 27 December 2017.
Bettors have Chosen the Next U.S. President and it is Kamala Harris
Harris has the inside track because she is a loyal Democratic Party member; who has won competitive offices for state-wide office in California, America’s most populous state.
In contrast, Sanders is an outsider; a self-proclaimed socialist and “independent,” who angered many Democrats by embarrassing their standard-bearer Hillary Clinton with a strong primary challenge in 2016. Another advantage that Harris has is Sanders represents one of America’s smallest states; Vermont.
To become U.S. President, a candidate must win a series of state-wide party contests called primaries, and receive the nomination of one of the two major parties; Democratic or Republican. Competition for the 2020 Democratic nomination is likely to be fierce; because of low approval ratings for the president and probable Republican nominee Donald J. Trump (R-New York).
Around 56.9% of Americans disapproved of Trump’s performance on 24 December according to FiveThirtyEight’s average of polls. Only 37.4% of Americans approved of Trump on 24 December.
Harris would be the first Female and first Indian U.S. President
Harris would be the first woman; and the first person of Indian descent, to be president of the United States.
Her mother; Shyamala Gopalan Harris was an Indian of Tamil descent from Chennai, while her father Donald Harris was of Jamaican background. She would also be the second U.S. President of African descent after Barrack Obama.[1]
Harris is often compared to Obama, because she is a first-term Senator of African descent. Unlike Obama, Harris had a successful career as an attorney before entering politics. She served as a prosecutor, District Attorney, and assistant county attorney in San Francisco. Harris also served as Attorney General (Justice Minister) of the State of California from 2010 to 2016. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016.
Harris has not publicly announced a presidential candidacy but she has made a number of steps towards it. The most visible of these moves was Harris’s announcement of support for Sanders’ popular single-payer; or national health insurance program, on 30 August. Harris also demanded that Trump resign on 14 December 2017, which was a thinly disguised appeal to female voters and the Democratic base.
A Woman is Likely to be the Next U.S. President
There is a strong possibility that the next president of the United States will be a woman. Three of the top five contenders for the Democratic nomination in the PredictIt pool are women.
The third runner-up in the race is U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts). Another woman, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) placed fourth in the PredictIt betting. The fifth runner up was Joe Biden (D-Delaware) who served as Obama’s vice president. Harris is the only person of colour in the top five.
Placing sixth in the PredictIt pool was another person of colour; U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey), who is of African descent. One other woman; U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota), appeared among the top 10.
Predict It Top 10 Contenders for the 2020 Democratic Presidential Nomination on 26 December 2017
1. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont)
2. U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-California)
3. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts)
4. U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York)
5. Joseph Biden (D-Delaware)
6. U.S Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey)
7. Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-New York)
8. U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota)
9. Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg (?-California)
10. U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-Virginia)
A Strange Cast of Candidates
The most telling revelation from PredictIt’s pool is the candidates that did not make the grade with bettors. Several of the individuals that The Washington Post named as probable Democratic candidates on 8 September 2017 were absent from the PredictIt top ten.
Big names dismissed by PredicIt bettors; included wrestler turned movie star Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, former talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, Shark Tank star Mark Cuban, U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon); who is widely seen as Sanders’ heir apparent, former first lady Michelle Obama, U.S. Representative Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota), and California Governor Jerry Brown (D). Also absent from the list was the 2016 Democratic candidate; Hillary R. Clinton, although her vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine made the list.
Strangely enough only one state governor; Andrew Cuomo (D-New York), was given a chance at the Democratic nomination by PredictIt. Governors are usually considered favourites in presidential races. Several presidents; including Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Grover Cleveland, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, served as governor before reaching the presidency.
The lack of governors might signal a major change in American politics; voters might want a Washington insider, rather than a local leader in the White House. Tellingly, seven of the candidates taken seriously by PredictIt bettors are sitting U.S. Senators, and one Biden is an ex-Senator.
So Much for Outsiders in Politics
Another telling sign is that PredictIt bettors gave only one non-politician; Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg a serious chance at the Democratic presidential nomination. Zuckerberg has been touring the country; and discussing political issues in recent months, but he has not announced any plans for office.
Unlike The Post, bettors and odds-makers do not take such celebrity candidates as Johnson, Winfrey, Cuban, and Disney (NYSE: DIS) CEO Bob Iger seriously. One reason for this is that the antics of Donald J. Trump have soured voters on outsider candidacies.
The U.S. presidential election is already attracting attention around the globe. The British betting website William Hill is already taking odds on the prospect of a woman being elected president in 2020.

One Poll Doesn’t Equal “Polls” & It Doesn’t Make This Clintonite’s Case Either [Updated Below]
|
“Dude Kembro,” yet another crackpot Clinton cultist, has authored yet another rubbish article — “Why does media ignore polls showing Dem base still prefers Hillary not Bernie?” — that tries to craft a fantasy of how golly-gee great it would be if Hillary Clinton were to launch a 2020 bid for the presidency, a prospect that no one but Clinton, her diminishing cult and Donald Trump would find remotely appealing. I’m not going to deal with the bulk of his loony ravings but he makes some comments about polling, so I decided to tackle that narrow part of it.
Kembro describes the notion that Bernie Sanders is “the nation’s ‘most popular senator’” as an “outdated fiction” based, in part,
“on pushing disgruntled ex-Clinton pollster Mark Penn’s monthly Harvard-Harris poll, notoriously unreliable due to its online methodology.”
Well, let’s see…
— The very YouGov poll on which you’re relying as an alternative to Harvard/Harris is also an online poll:
— You provide nothing to support your fanciful assertion that Harvard/Harris is “notoriously unreliable,” because there is, in fact, nothing to support that claim.
— While your narrative suggests Mark Penn is some fellow with an axe to grind — some sort of motive for his faking a poll in an anti-Clinton direction, whatever would be gained by that — he is, in fact, a rightist Clintonite loyalist who has been with the Clintons for 23 years. When Democrats lost the 1994 congressional elections, he was the guy Bill hired to try to get things back on track. He worked for Bill right to the end of his administration, worked on the ’96 reelection campaign, worked on both of Hillary’s Senate races and worked on her 2008 presidential campaign. Only this Summer, he co-authored an op-ed in the New York Times and this was his advice to Democrats, re:the Sanders/Elizabeth Warren challenge from the left:
“The path back to power for the Democratic Party today, as it was in the 1990s, is unquestionably to move to the center and reject the siren calls of the left, whose policies and ideas have weakened the party.”
That delusional piece was uniformly derided across progressive media. Penn is both stupid and his views delusional, but any motive he may have to fake a poll — an asinine suggestion anyway — is in the other direction, toward making Clinton look better and Sanders worse.
— The Harris poll isn’t some wet-behind-the-ears upstart; it’s one of the longest-running established pollsters in the U.S., founded over 50 years ago (when, I’ll note in passing, Mark Penn was 9 years old). That doesn’t mean it’s right, of course. It does mean it isn’t some amateur in the field.
— While Harvard/Harris is conducted every month, your YouGov poll is just that, a single poll, and could be utterly anomalous, which happens in polling all the time (H/H isn’t immune to it either).
— In line with that last, there are some huge warning-signs within the YouGov results, principally the often-vast number of people who express no opinion. For example, 21% of independents report no opinion of Clinton while a staggering 34% report no opinion on Sanders. A huge warning that there’s something very wrong with the data. And you make it even better. You cite the two politicians’ relative standing among minorities in the poll and make a lot of fanciful assertions based on it:
“Hillary has a 78 percent favorable rating with Democrats, seven points higher than Bernie’s 71 percent. Her 69 percent favorable rating with blacks remains a whopping sixteen points better than Sanders’s 53 percent rating with that determinative demographic. Among Hispanics, Hillary’s 42 percent rating comfortably bests Sanders’s dismal 36 percent.”
But the poll shows that nearly 1 in 4 black respondents offered no opinion of Sanders, whereas this was only the case with 8% when it came to Clinton. Clinton only leads in this demographic by 16% and three times as many black folks are reporting no opinion of Sanders as reported no opinion of Clinton. This same dynamic repeats itself among Hispanics. It’s astonishing that 24% of Hispanic respondents offer no opinion of Clinton but utterly incredible that 36% offer no opinion of Sanders.
It’s also worth noting that your assertion regarding Clinton’s lead among Hispanics is comical. While you insist she “comfortably bests” him, Clinton’s lead among Hispanics is only 6% in a poll with a reported margin of error of 4.1%, meaning less than 2% separates them, yet you call his standing “dismal.”
— The overwhelming majority of “independents” always vote for their favored party and are just Republicans and Democrats by another name. Pollsters call independents who always vote for the same party “leaners,” while those who vary their votes among the different parties are called “true independents.” Whereas Harvard/Harris combines the leaners with the people who identify with the parties — a methodology that makes sense — the YouGov poll you cite divides these categories, which can seriously distort the data, as the leaners always make up a large share of the vote for each of the parties.
— The YouGov poll used only 1,000 respondents. That’s not unusual for these sorts of routine polls where laserlike precision isn’t essential. Some pollsters use even less. Harvard/Harris is a massive survey compared to these sorts of workaday polls. The just-released November H/H poll used 2,350 respondents.
— The YouGov poll appears absent context. Whereas H/H has been surveying on the same questions every month all year, YouGov hasn’t, as far as I can tell, conducted a single poll on these particular matters for 9 or 10 months before the one you’ve cited. H/H monthly polls provide a context wherein one can see the various politicians’ ratings changing over time. Sometimes — relatively rarely — there are anomalous jumps or dips but they usually seem to work themselves out in the next one. By lining up their polls, we can see that, for example, Sanders’ popularity has been in slow decline throughout the year, a pattern veteran poll-watchers will find familiar. Earlier this year, when other pollsters were polling on Sanders’ and Clinton’s popularity, their results mirrored those of H/H. No other polls have mirrored this YouGov poll.
This is Sanders’ current standing in the new Harvard/Harris survey:
And for comparison, this is Clinton’s standing in the same poll, tied with Donald Trump’s abysmal 38% overall favorable rating:
Sanders leads her by significant numbers in every category except among African Americans, where the two are statistically tied. He even leads her among people who voted for her last year.
Most of the rest of your piece is a Clinton-cult fever-swamp fantasy that has as little connection to reality as the Lord of the Rings. When one reads that kind of unhinged raving about a strange and mysterious place where the press isn’t a virtual monolith of reflexive pro-Clinton sentiment, where Joe Biden is somehow unacceptable to Clinton’s cult rather than one of the politicians to which elements of that cult are now turning to beat back any challenge from the left, where Clinton is some sort of counter-Establishment figure, where math is such that a single poll equals “polls” but multiple polls that disagree apparently don’t and where Bernie Sanders, the lifelong civil rights activist and feminist, is somehow a racist and sexist, one may wonder what color the sky must be in that parallel universe but one isn’t going to mistake it for anything resembling our own. To any informed, reasonably intelligent reader, your piece makes clear in virtually every line that nothing you say need be taken remotely seriously. As your nonsense regarding this poll is the only foundation upon which you’ve built the rest of your fantasy, I just decided I’d correct it.

UPDATE (Wed., 29 Nov., 2017) — Kembro had written that the Harvard/Harris poll was “notoriously unreliable due to its online methodology,” but after I and others who commented on his article noted that the YouGov poll he, himself, was using was also an online poll, Kembro turned up and removed this wording from his article, replacing it with a description of H/H as “a survey given a poor C- in FiveThirtyEight’s pollster ratings due to its unreliability.” A little later, he added language that describes YouGov as “a pollster with a solid B rating from FiveThirtyEight.” For whatever reason, he also changed his listed name from “Dude Kembro” to “DK Kembro.” The current version of his article gives no indication that he’s changed any wording.
The FiveThirtyEight pollster ratings chart on which he bases these newly-inserted assertions is long out-of-date — the page indicates it hasn’t been updated since 5 August, 2016, nearly 16 months ago. While the chart rates Harris Interactive and that’s the rating Kembro cites, the Harvard/Harris collaboration didn’t exist until this year. The chart compares the outcome of elections to the final polls preceding them by various pollsters. Kembro apparently didn’t read beyond the simple letter-ratings he cites. While he wants to make a case that YouGov is more accurate, YouGov’s simple average error is 6.7%, compared to only 5.5% for Harris. YouGov’s better letter rating is based on the fact that it accurately called the results of 93% of the races it covered. Harris, the pollster Kembro says is “unreliable,” accurately called 86% of the races it covered — hardly a chasmic difference. Perhaps just as significantly, Harris is only ranked based on 135 polls; YouGov is ranked based on 707.

Please can’t we just be sheep

An interesting chunk from Thaddeus Russel’s conversation with Douglas Lain, Douglas Lain speaking:
90% of the left isn’t anti-capitalist. What they are is just another managerial class coming in to try and fix and work within the system as is and fix the problems. And on top of that, there are people who are basically using the problems that exist in order to further themselves, or to make themselves feel better or live in the world as it is — they’ve developed a permanent relationship with the injustices of society and it helps them be who they are.
The summation of the left today — most of the left — as a class that wants that wants to keep things going — is this a critique of this group of people? Is this description a critique? As a description I feel it is fair. Most people just go with the flow. I feel Bernie rocked the boat and had a lot of folks on his side, Bernie being a medium of transmission for a vague desire for some new way. Against the backdrop of the assumed inevitably and righteousness of Hillary’s victory. That her victory would have been a just result in a just world typifies the problem.
Maybe this ball parked 90% know something I don’t. Maybe they figured out the sweet-spot.
That someone would have voted for Hillary makes sense against the backdrop of what could be called “topicality” and this is a description of the world that comprises most people’s conscious lives: the fundamental of our society — how it was founded and what we believe it should become — are not discussed. This is the world of pop culture, the world of which one can have a conversation with their neighbor or casual acquaintances: that generic mode of thought and conversation that trickles into our close personal lives, our talks with our families not really breaching those big, big, big topics. This topical world comprises the totality of what is.
Meta-politics, the subconscious, the in-depth — how the sausage is made — is not attended to. People don’t want to know or don’t know how to perceive how this world is shaped, manipulated, controlled by others.
What is it, this world of topicality? What shapes it? It is the world of network news, the world of corporate production. It is the world that relies on the myth of progress. It’s more fundamental than simply the reification of primal needs: that is the crux, for me, the drawing of the line between the simple, amplification of primal needs into the medium of any society versus the controlled manipulation of primal needs in a manner that allows further manipulation to affect more change, the desired ends of a different set of people.
Shall we shelter in the safety of the known even if that is what is headed over a cliff?

Leia, Hillary, and Trusting Black Women
|
I hated Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
The Porg are adorable, yet watching this story about power, about mistakes and growth, about in-betweens and passionate advocacy for important causes, I could only see what I saw drenching the 2016 election, and what I have seen throughout 2017.
What I saw were incredible, brilliant, qualified, powerful women and the men who refused to trust them.
Photo by NASA on Unsplash
**Spoilers for Last Jedi**
Poe Dameron, demoted for disobeying General Leia Organa’s direct orders during a battle, refuses to believe that the female Admiral Holdo could be making rational, strategic decisions for the resistance forces. And so, in order to protect the lives of the remaining rebels and stop Poe in the act of outright mutiny, General Organa must be roused from a coma to shoot Poe.
Poe is embarrassed and astonished to find that Admiral Holdo, of great military fame, had a plan all along but didn’t share it with him. He, a rebel hero, a famed fighter and resistance darling, created work and chaos for the leaders of the rebellion, resulting in the loss of who knows how many lives, including Admiral Holdo’s, in order to soothe his precious ego.
The fact is: Poe doesn’t trust powerful women.
I’ve read arguments that the Last Jedi is showing us the price of misogyny, the importance of feminism.
But I know the price of misogyny and I know the importance of feminism.
I want to see a universe that already understands the toll of sexism and bigotry, a universe in which powerful women and non-binary people are respected as experts without question. I want to see a universe in which men don’t need to be taught by women that powerful women deserve trust.

The 2016 election was a farce. Research reveals what we all lived through: pundit after pundit after reporter after campaign correspondent treated Donald Trump’s experience and policy statements as equal to Hillary Clinton’s and questioned her ability to lead the country as frequently as his. Clinton is a former Secretary of State and former Senator, with decades of political experience. Trump is a businessman with dozens of criminal and civil charges, settlements, and bankruptcies.
And who were the men who shaped coverage of the election? Glenn Thrush. Matt Lauer. Bill O’Reilly. Mark Halperin. Charlie Rose. These men created the narrative of a powerful woman who couldn’t possibly be trusted because she used a private email server, because she, like Leia Organa, was related to another powerful person. And they positioned her as an equal to Donald Trump, whose rape and sexual harassment charges were dismissed as merely “boorish or politically incorrect.”
And of course, each of these men has something else in common. They have all been accused of sexual assault and sexual violence by women. Each of these men are misogynists. Their misogyny terrorizes women they worked with and likely colored their coverage of the election. These men view women as objects to play with or ignore. Powerful women threaten that view, refusing to be played with or ignored.
But before these reporters and pundits were stripped of their power by the women whom they terrorize, Donald Trump won the election.
He was voted into power by white, middle class men and women afraid to lose the power granted by white supremacy, affirmed in their decision by men who were invested in supporting another man who preyed on women.
Trump voters and the reporters who abetted them don’t trust powerful women.

First time.

As I told Twitter, we’re talking ugly crying here. Shaking, sobbing, the whole deal. I think the only reason I didn’t end up with a screaming migraine is because I distracted myself away from crying instead of suppressing myself. But shit, party people.
Kiddo helped me mark the ballot. We held hands and voted together.
I just… Look, I mean, of course I’ve been sad since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, even cried a little about things I might have to leave behind if current trends continue and I cash in my dual citizenship. But I didn’t cry on Election Night. Didn’t cry about the inauguration. No, I think this afternoon’s ugly cry may have been my first—it was certainly my strongest—real outpouring of grief for, well, my country. What we’ve all lost, whether we know it or not, whether it’s what we voted for or not, whether we wanted it or not. That lost future.
I know there’s better days ahead. I have to believe that. The alternative is too much like everything I think when antidepressants and therapy aren’t working. But shit. It’s a little like the heartache I felt reading Hillary’s concession speech—I never watched it, that would’ve made me cry—or even the one she gave on ending her campaign for nomination in 2008. The thought of what children—ok, fine, girls—are learning from these events. Okay, on the bright side, yes, Hillary made history, first woman presidential candidate (of a major political party). Also she modeled poise and self-control and reason and, let’s face it, general badassitude while running against basically the monstrous personification of the worst our country has to offer. But the monster won. Not the popular vote, blah blah, but the monster is President, and the lesson there is that we still have such a long fucking way to go. It feels like we’ve been set back a generation. Which isn’t right. We haven’t gone anywhere, it’s just we’ve found out that the mountains of shit we’ve got to wade through are higher and deeper than we knew (no, I can’t decide on a metaphor here so I’m using both, sorry not sorry).
Which hurts. And today it hurt so hard I cried.

The misogyny of women.
|
I would like to believe that the vote was specific to Hillary. An old GOP-er businessman told me back in the day that Bill Clinton would win over George H.W. Bush because women vote for the man they’d sleep with. And Bill was way more charismatic than George. But maybe in 2016, the vote that turned out for Bill back in 1992 decided it’s time to punish Bill the serial cheater we slept with all those years ago. 2017: the year to punish Bill. For Hillary. A vote for Trump was a proxy vote against Bill. We support Hillary. Just not for President.
And Hillary had e-mails.
And Benghazi.
And eye-rolling at Senators.
And a basket of deplorables.
And a lackluster campaign.
And an electoral orienteering map that did not include swing states and woo for the deplorables.
Did I mention Bill? This is also a long list.
Hillary Clinton had all that baggage, but I’m still going to go with the other explanation. This vote, the 53% — and let’s face it, a small percent of the 53% are lifelong registered GOP-ers that will run out and vote for any name identified as an (R), we’ll give that league of troubled women voters a pass for now, they are doing what they’ve always done — but the remainder couldn’t stand to vote for the experienced Democrat who happened to be a woman with steamer trunks full of who-knows-what baggage in tow. They couldn’t stand to just stay home and sit this one out.
And now they claim ‘I can’t be bothered with the latest tweet, the latest horror. I’m not political.’
Then why, why pray tell, did you vote?
And I return to bedtime and sleep.

Convo Select Reflection
|
Convo began with a moment of silence in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the synagogue shooting last week. Each individual’s name was shown on the screen, followed by a prayer led by David Nasser. Six different candidates, or representatives, were present and the MC, so to speak, was Robert Hurt, the director for the Center for Law & Government. Election day is a week from tomorrow, so this convocation allowed students to be informed.
Kory Stuart, who first took the stand, began his presentation with his campaign video, showcasing how Tim Kaine and the Democratic party is allowing illegal immigrants into the United States. He also pointed out that the Democratic party is basically pro-choice, and that they are okay with abortion up to the moment of birth. Personally, the fact that Start commenced his presentation by ridiculing others, made me less receptive to the rest of what he had to say. It was also very evident that Stuart is for gun rights, as he repetitively mentioned the second amendment. It was clear that he is very against illegal immigration and its consequences.
The next candidate who took the stand, and who will be on the ticket for the libertarian party was Matt Waters. The slogan for his campaign is money = freedom. He began his presentation with his video, which showcased him talking to a group of people. He then turned to the Word, the book of Samuel to be specific. I think he did this, not only because it is what he believes in, but also because he was trying to relate to a room full of Christians. He continued on talking about private retirement accounts and how they should be taken out of Washington. He also brought up the issue of white privilege, which was interesting and appealing to me, seeing as how he is white. His time on stage was definitely spent discussing issues regarding money, which made sense seeing as though his campaign slogan is what it is.
The third candidate, who is part of the Democratic party, Tim Kaine, was not able to be present, so a video message was provided along with two ads. The first ad showcased how Tim Kaine supports veterans. The second ad showcased the economic side of his campaign. Kaine’s video was very clearly directed at Liberty and he made sure to talk about his faith journey, which many students could probably relate to. He went on talking about how, as a lawyer, he worked with people who were discriminated against. His campaign theme is “A Virginia that works for all.” He made sure to mention his work with veterans and pediatric cancer patients. Kaine also President that President Obama signed 11 pieces of legislation that he wrote, and President Trump has signed 20 bills that Kaine wrote. Differing from Stuart, Kaine talked about the positive aspects of immigration. Personally, I appreciated the fact that Kaine was willing to show both sides of issues.
Denver Riggleman was the next person to step up to the podium, starting his time with two ads. The first video showcased Riggleman as a veteran and businessman. The second talked about tax cuts and its benefits. Riggleman, different from the others, began his presentation by giving a brief bio and was successfully able to incorporate comedy throughout his whole talk in order to keep it lighthearted. He, too, incorporated a Christian perspective into his time.
Jennifer Lewis was the next person to talk to the students and faculty. A brief biography was given, followed by her campaign video. She began by a quote from President Falwell, about how we should be allowed to form our own opinions. She mentioned the terrorist attack and challenged people to step out of their comfort zone and use free thought to determine hat is or what isn’t morally acceptable. She also read scripture, out of Matthew, to be specific. Most of her time was talking about human decency and moral responsibility, which was a refreshing change. She also showed her support for medical care for all and an education plan that will modernize grade schools, as well as reducing interest rates on student loans.
Ben Cline was unable to be present, but was represented by his campaign manager, Dan Webb, a former Liberty student. Cline’s ad first played, and then Webb took the stage. He began by talking about his time at Liberty. He then began giving a short bio on Ben Cline. He talked about how Cline has worked with victims of domestic violence, and why he is pro-life. Webb was very convincing in how much he looks up to Cline and the emotion is his voice was evident. His message was very family-oriented.
Each delegate was evidently trying to relate to the students since we hold the power to elect him or her. However, some of the individuals were focusing too much on trying to relate to students and this resulted in them seeming ingenuine. They should have just said what he or she believes in and, if it is the right thing, trust that people will follow.

Obama beats Trump as Gallup’s most admired man in 2017, Hillary Clinton still top woman
|
By Bonnie K. Goodman, BA, MLIS
Source: Wikipedia Commons
Although the sitting president is usually the Gallup poll’s most admired for the year, this year is it is not the case. Former President Barack Obama beat out President Donald Trump as the most admired man in the 2017 edition, while 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton remains the country’s most admired woman. Gallup Poll released on Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2017, their annual list of most admired men and women for the year with almost predictable results. For the tenth straight year, former President Obama has topped the list of most admired men, with Hillary Clinton topping the list of most admired women for a record-breaking time. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump came in a close second but missed the honor most sitting presidents experience.
President Obama won the distinction of most admired with 17 percent of the vote, down from 22 percent last year, and his “narrowest” margin to date. He has appeared on the top 10, 13 times since 2006 and has been in the top spot for the last ten years. President Obama has the second overall most admired titles besting former Presidents Bill Clinton (1993–2001) and Ronald Reagan (1981–1989) but behind Dwight Eisenhower (1953–1961). Obama becomes the only the second former president besides Eisenhower in 1967 and 1968 to win the year’s most admired. President Trump came in a rather close second with 14 percent; the third time Trump has ranked second in the poll. This year is the president’s seventh appearance in the top 10, in 1988 to 1990 and then again in 2011. Vice President Mike Pence sees his second appearance on the list coming in again at the bottom of the list.
Even as a sitting president Trump cannot eclipse Obama as the most admired man in the country an honor most sitting presidents have enjoyed. It is a tradition for the sitting president always to be named the most admired and has been the case for 70 years since the poll originated in 1946. Now only 13 times did a sitting president lose out on the most-admired honor and usually only happens if the president has a low approval rating. President Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in his first year of office with only a 37 percent approval rating on his 338th day in office. The last time a sitting president missed the honor was in 2008 when then President-elect Obama edged out President George W. Bush who was seeing extremely low approval ratings at the end of his tenure.
In Gallup’s 71 years issuing the most admired list, sitting presidents have topped it 58 times. Gallup indicates, “Previous incumbent presidents who did not finish first include Harry Truman in 1946–1947 and 1950–1952, Lyndon Johnson in 1967–1968, Richard Nixon in 1973, Gerald Ford in 1974–1975, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and George W. Bush in 2008. All but Truman in 1947 and Ford in 1974 had job approval ratings well below 50%, like Trump.”
Gallup Polls Most Admired Men 2017 Top 10:
1. Barack Obama 17
2. Donald Trump 14
3. Pope Francis 3
4. Rev. Billy Graham 2
5. John McCain 2
6. Elon Musk 2
7. Bernie Sanders 1
8. Bill Gates 1
9. Benjamin Netanyahu 1
10. The Dalai Lama 1
11. Mike Pence 1
Despite losing the election Trump last year, former first lady, New York Senator, 2008 Democratic presidential candidate, former Secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tops the list of the most admired women for the 22nd time and 16th year in a row more than anyone ever on the list. Clinton has her lowest showing; however, winning only 9 percent of the vote, last year she had 12 percent for the top spot. Clinton only lost the number one spot in 1995 and 1996 to Mother Theresa and 2001 when First Lady Laura Bush took the position. Clinton has appeared on the list 26 times. Former First Lady Michelle Obama is in second place, but with 7 percent. Current First Lady Melania Trump sees her first showing on the list coming in at number 8 but with only one percent of the vote.
Gallup Polls Most Admired Women 2017 Top 10:
1. Hillary Clinton 9
2. Michelle Obama 7
3. Oprah Winfrey 4
4. Elizabeth Warren 3
5. Angela Merkel 2
6. Queen Elizabeth 2
7. Condoleezza Rice 1
8. Melania Trump 1
9. Nikki Haley 1
10. Duchess Kate Middleton 1
11. Beyonce Knowles 1
This year’s list is seeing some record number of appearances for both the most admired men and women. For the men, Rev. Billy Graham has his 60th top 10 finish having been in the top 10 every year since 1955, except for 1962 and 1976. This is the first year former Bill Clinton has dropped out of the top 10; he appeared on the top 10 for 25 years and remained on top of the list throughout his entire presidency from 1993 to 2001. On the women’s side, Hillary Clinton has the most top honors on the list with former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt second with 13 top honors. Queen Elizabeth has the most top 10 appearances of all women with 49, while Oprah Winfrey moved up to the second most of all time with her 30 showings. Gallup does not believe however, Obama and Clinton will hold on to the top spot in future years and believe Trump could attain the position next year.

Hillary Considers Second Run

Hillary Considers Second Run
The White House looked to be within the Democrat’s reach in 2020. More than 20 candidates have declared their intention to run. Even Republicans believe Joe Biden has more experience and skill than Drumpf. Beto Hernandez leads the forefront of the youth movement.
Hillary Clinton brought rain clouds to the celebration when she announced she still plans to leave the door open for a second run. Since she announced, Drumpf’s popularity rose five percent in the polls even though all respondents agreed they find him as disgusting as they did last month.
“Now I remember why I voted for our heroic leader in 2016,” said Mary Jane Robinson, college graduate and suburban housewife who voted a straight Democratic ticket in November. “Why did I ever give the house to Nancy Pelosi and the party of the Jackass?”
More than a dozen civic organizations such as the White Brotherhood for White Neighborhoods, Nationalists for a Whiter America, Families for Child-Safe Pizza Parlors and the Post-Hitler Youth burned Hillary in Effigy in their town squares.
“We dodged a bullet,” said Supreme Wizard Whitey Allwhite of the Newport Beach America Only Brigade. “For a moment it looked like the mongrels and white-haters was gonna vote our precious Führer out of officeholding. Then the wicked white Jew woman rose up from hell and forged a common enemy for all of us.”
“For a moment it looked like the mongrels and white-haters was gonna vote our precious Führer out of officeholding. Then the wicked white Jew woman rose up from hell and forged a common enemy for all of us.”
Democratic strategists are at a loss to explain how Hillary’s presence could boost Drumpf’s support so quickly. “Once they saw him in action, people should have realized they overreacted with the ‘Lock her up,’ stuff,” Democratic pollster Howie High confided. “We’re talking about a responsible, dedicated public servant who devoted her life to the welfare of the American people and a man who scammed, conned, stole and lied his way to the Presidency. How does he become the good guy?”
“Years of sabotage,” GOP Strategist N. Sid Eyeous explained to our reporter. “When Ms. with a S Clinton took control of her womanizing husband’s health care initiative, we discovered she was more popular than him. Especially with women. There was no way we’d give the Clintons sixteen years, especially because their whelp would be old enough to run in 2016. So we sent Ken Starr in for a real witch hunt, and made her the villain.”
“Throw enough shit, throw it for three decades and all people can smell is shit. Little did we know we would throw enough to make the fake shit (we threw at Hillary) smell worse than Drumpf’s noxious real turds.
Eyeous confirmed that they burned Hillary at the stake as often and as publicly as possible, a strategy that culminated with the “Lock her up,” demonstration at the 2016 GOP convention.
“So you knew she did nothing wrong,” our reporter pushed.
“It doesn’t matter,” Eyeous claimed. “Throw enough shit, throw it for three decades and all people can smell is shit. Little did we know we would throw enough to make the fake shit smell worse than Drumpf’s noxious real turds s. But are we glad we did. And I promise we’ve ordered train loads of fake shit now that she’s announced again. She couldn’t beat Hiltler.”
Eyeous, paused, and added as an afterthought, “When you think of it, she ran against the bastard child of Hitler and Stalin in 2016 and lost. She won’t even win the popular vote this time.”

‘Women and Power’ explains history’s muzzle on powerful women
|
Book review by Elaine Showalter. Views expressed are opinions of the author.
A much-publicized feature of Hillary Clinton’s London book tour in October was a sitdown with Mary Beard to talk about women’s public voices and the obstacles to female power. Beard, the erudite, energetic and jolly professor of classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, knows a lot about both these topics. A celebrity in the U.K., she often appears on radio and TV, publishes best-selling books (“SPQR,” “Pompeii”) and writes a blog called “A Don’s Life” for the Times Literary Supplement.
She’s also controversial, most recently for her arguments about the ethnic diversity of Roman Britain. And she’s been trolled on Twitter and attacked in print both for her feminist positions and her long gray hair. Beard always fights back, with humor and the confidence of intellectual authority. Indeed, she has so many fans in the U.K. that she’s perilously close to becoming a cozy “national treasure,” like Alan Bennett and Judi Dench.
But Beard hasn’t lost her bite. In the two essays that make up her new book, “Women & Power,” she shows first, how women have been silenced in public life as far back as the Greeks and the Romans, and second, how ancient images of female monstrosity from Clytemnestra to Medusa have been endlessly recycled to undermine women’s access to political power. In “The Odyssey,” Penelope’s son tells her to shut up in the great hall and go back to her spinning and weaving because speech is “the business of men.”
In the classical era, Beard explains, “public speaking and oratory were not merely things that ancient women didn’t do: They were exclusive practices and skills that defined masculinity as a gender.”
Even now, women who speak forcefully in public are called strident or shrill.
Elizabeth Warren , Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand have been silenced in the Senate and insulted in the president’s tweets. The snaky head of Medusa (Freud called it a symbol of castration anxiety) was used to demonize German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister Theresa May and, in 2016, Clinton, with a meme of Trump decapitating her. The ultimate way to silence a woman is to lock her up or kill her.
To be heard and taken seriously is a prerequisite to power, Beard notes. And despite misogyny and buffoonery, women have persisted in demanding respect.
Some have adopted androgynous signals of leadership. Margaret Thatcher got speech training to lower her voice. Others wear pantsuits, a point Beard illustrates with an amusing picture of Clinton and Merkel greeting each other in identical uniforms like reunited Shakespearean twins.
But, she admits, that masquerade misses the real problem: “Rather than push women into voice-training classes to get a nice, deep, husky and entirely artificial tone, we should be thinking more about the fault-lines and fractures that underlie dominant male discourse.”
Ah, yes — a bit more thinking. Maybe a study group, the first step British feminists always proposed back in 1972, when I was in the women’s movement in London. But then what? That’s the rub.
Beard herself is a practiced speaker and writer, who deploys an accessible language with intelligence, wit and a disarmingly personal voice. She believes in confronting a male antagonist and has done it successfully in a debate with Boris Johnson. But for all of her learning, charm, and pluck, even she is at a loss when it comes to changing the status quo.
After a deft summary of the way women are silenced, interrupted, patronized, passed over and ignored in debate, speeches, meetings and discussions, Beard asks, “What’s the practical remedy?”
“Like most women,” she admits, “I wish I knew.”
Moreover, she concedes, “feminist efforts over half a century” to reclaim Medusa and other hostile images of female power haven’t made “a blind bit of difference to the way she has been used in attacks on female politicians.” Although she notes that Black Lives Matter was founded by three women, she has to admit that few of us know their names. (As Virginia Woolf first said, “Anon . . . was often a woman.”) And Beard’s conclusions, in her own words, are “gloomy”: “We have not got anywhere near subverting those foundational stories of power that serve to keep women out of it.”
It’s fun to read this elegant, well-illustrated book.
But no manifesto, or womanifesto, no individual woman’s success, no intellectual analysis, can change the male power structure.
It has to be a collective action. The American feminist achievements of this year, from the Women’s March to the #MeToo uprising, give hope that we may be seeing a new wave of women’s power, based on claiming public speech and political space.

Never Trumpers move the goal posts
|
Let’s go back to the 2016 campaign and recall what the Never Trumpers said were their main reasons for their refusing to support Donald Trump for president.
He is not a conservative, they insisted. He is a New York Liberal so he will never:
Actually nominate an Antonin Scalia type justice to the Supreme Court Cut taxes Reduce regulations Shrink the size of government Listen to his generals in the military Do anything about ObamaCare Put the UN in its place Defeat ISIS Or keep any promise he made because he’s a New York liberal and not a conservative
I can of course go on and on. However, now that 2017 has come to a close and we can look back on President Donald Trump’s first year in office, it is as clear as day that he has done all of those things they said he wouldn’t and more. In fact, President Trump has been more successful in implementing a conservative agenda than even Ronald Reagan was.
But when we point out these very conservative accomplishments to Never Trumpers, this is what they say. At least this is what Bret Stephens said:
Conservatives used to believe in their truth. Want to “solve” poverty? All the welfare dollars in the world won’t help if two-parent families aren’t intact. Want to foster democracy abroad? It’s going to be rough going if too many voters reject the foundational concept of minority rights. And want to preserve your own republican institutions? Then pay attention to the character of your leaders, the culture of governance and the political health of the public. It matters a lot more than lowering the top marginal income tax rate by a couple of percentage points. This is the fatal mistake of conservatives who’ve decided the best way to deal with Trump’s personality — the lying, narcissism, bullying, bigotry, crassness, name calling, ignorance, paranoia, incompetence and pettiness — is to pretend it doesn’t matter. “Character Doesn’t Count” has become a de facto G.O.P. motto. “Virtue Doesn’t Matter” might be another. But character does count, and virtue does matter, and Trump’s shortcomings prove it daily.
He moved the goal posts and switched to “but character and virtue!”
In spite of Trump’s victorious year implementing the most conservative agenda in decades that has unleashed the economy and increased America’s power and standing in the world Stephens says none of that means anything so he still wishes Hillary Clinton had won.
Yes, he still wishes Hillary had won because character and virtue matter.
Wrap your brain around that one.

Should Politicians Stay out of the Crypto Debate?
|
Just a few days ago Hillary Clinton expressed her opinions on cryptocurrency… Spoiler alert, she is not a fan of cryptocurrencies for a variety of reasons. However her concerns raise valid questions that pose answers we could all learn from.
Understanding the technology behind crypto is critical to making smarter investment decisions. Become a blockchain ninja today!
Traditional Currencies Will Suffer
One of Hillary’s main concerns were that cryptocurrency will eventually become too widespread. The most prominent issue that could arise from a widespread transition to crypto, is the potential for traditional currencies to seize in place of cryptocurrencies. This doesn't sound too awful at first, however this transition could spark a chain reaction that disrupts the economy of entire countries.
Economies Will Suffer
The problem becomes much more serious, if in theory cryptocurrency effectively becomes the norm putting traditional currencies in the back seat. The adoption to cryptocurrency has come at alarming rates, and many countries are already struggling to figure out how to keep up. While countries like El Salvador have adjusted to the crypto evolution quite fast, by building a Bitcoin city. Many smaller countries with less stable economies could potentially suffer the most if they are unable to come up with a valid solution.
Security Concerns
Many people fear that having large portions of a country’s wealth stored in crypto could be a security risk for getting hacked. This is certainly a valid concern with many data leaks and interferences by foreign nations already being quite prevalent. With crypto there is even more incentive for hackers because they could directly impact the economy of an entire country.
Conclusion
It is difficult to say which concerns are the most valid, and what issues deserve the most attention. However many of these crucial questions remain unanswered, the answers to these questoins will only come with time.

I AM AN INCREMENTALIST. CHIP now has been sadistically defunded…
|
Kathe Kollwitz: Tower of Mothers, Berlin
CHIP, the healthcare program for children was a ground zero of the battle between my side of the Incrementalists and the other side, the Revolution. Progressives constantly derided CHIP as being a nothing program, a drop in the bucket, why should she, Hillary Clinton, get credit for it, it was not the all powerful promise of single payer. Remember, Sanders has no comparable achievement.
CHIP now has been sadistically defunded by the GOP and Trump. Millions of families that relied on CHIP are left in a state of limbo. States, will be compelled to pick up the void when they don’t have the money, many states will just drop it. In the end, children will die and suffer dying. Mothers and fathers will weep for their children.
I argued endlessly with those who claimed accused me of being a centrist incrementalist, being complicit with the oligarchy and plutocracy. But now I say, where is your revolution when parents with sick children have no way to provide for their children? This derided increment towards Progress is gone. There is a void for families. If you are so sure of your Revolution, go tell those families:
“Wait, our Revolution is coming, but we will sacrifice your child”.
Susan Sarandon announced that alas, with Trump we are not at war. Susan Sarandon should be obligated to face a parent who lost the healthcare for their sick child and tell them she is happy Hillary Clinton lost. As she or he goes off to a Progressive Purity meeting, disparaging the work of countless people who cobbled together a safety net, cheering how Trump made people angry enough to join their Revolution.
CHIP is the epicenter of the battle between Incrementalists and Revolutionaries. While the Revolutionaries have you wait in the cold, sick and hungry, the Incrementalist is looking for a way to comfort you, feed you and heal you. If this is bad, then count me in as bad. Struggling with all the complexity of democracy, governance and public policy. In the trenches, fighting every day.
The term Progressive should imply a progress, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. But it should not denigrate the victories we have had that make life here and now for countless families who are tad less miserable.
Progress comes in increments within a democratic society, Revolutions are a populist promise that is anti-democratic and a lie. Revolutions imagine a magic that will emasculate the opposition and have them submit to the leader of the revolution. If no magic, they will force the other side to capitualte. Revolution is a cruel lie that feeds the egos of those who run it at the cost of human suffering.
Incrementalism makes people’s lives better with never giving up on the overwhelming goal of social and economic justice. Revolution needs to rely on one promise, one way, one leader. Incrementalism can have many ways, many promises and many leaders.
Do you have the guts to be an incrementalist?

Inbound nephews and nieces of Joe Biden: A return to killing fields
|
(This is a reprint from NewsBred).
It’s as good a moment to laugh at or mourn for the Americans and verify this utterance four years down the line in 2024.
For men like me, it’s a moment of chuckle since the US media is having an orgasm on Good Old Joe and his team even though Georgia, Wisconscin, Arizona and Nevada and 79 critical electoral votes are being challenged.
But then the US media, in the presidential campaign, never raised the little matter of “war and peace” while pitching for Joe Biden and now wouldn’t like the Americans to peek at the dossier of his inbound nieces and nephews.
So, we have Tony Blinken as Secretary of the State who was disappointed that the United States didn’t apply enough force in Syria and advocated that Saudi Arabia be sided with in their bombings in Yemen. He had chortled along with Biden for military action in Libya. Those polite call him Biden’s “alter ego.” Those blunt prefer the phrase of “war-mongering psycho.”
Somehow, this essential on the man misses the US media completely as they harp on his experience, having been a deputy both in the offices of the National Security Advisor (2013–2015) and Secretary of State (2015–2017).
This once aspiring film producer couldn’t have found a better script than his own journey: Jewish parents, father who dominated the world of venture capital, mother a patron of arts, a stepfather who survived the holocaust and became one of the most influential lawyer on the global stage.
Blinken’s access in the ante-chambers of White House was visible as back as on May 1, 2011, peering behind Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton while the Operation Abbottabad against Osama bin Laden was on ( Blinken in red circle in image below).
Then you have Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, who once wrote to her boss Hillary Clinton that “Al Qaeda is on our side” in Syria. He also was a key player in hyping up the fake allegations of Trump-Russia collusion. He too is all for “American exceptionalism” which is America-in-the-palm-of-military-industrial-complex-again in the post-Trump world.
Then there are nieces. Michele Flournoy who is most likely to be the Secretary of Defense. Janet Yellen, treasury secretary, who is an inflation hawk, unlikely to support large spending on social welfare, and generally means that the rigged US financial system, a private monetary system, is ruling the roost again.
If still unconvinced, they say, follow the money and truth would reveal itself to you.
The two most-common link between most of these nephews and nieces is CNAS (Centre for New American Security) and CSIS (Centre for Strategic and International Studies) — the 2nd and 6th highest recipient of US government and defense-contractor funding.
Who are the top donors to CNAS? Northrop, Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and the Department of Defense. Now Michele Flournoy is co-founder of CNAS. One of her well-documented sleight of hand was in getting the UAE to pay CNAS $250,000 to draft just a report that it must buy American drones. These pilotless birds, US-made, have never stopped ending up in Gulf theocracies, never mind their human rights record or brutal bombings in neighbourhood such as Yemen.
Tony Blinken has been with CSIS, Jake Sullivan with Macro Advisory Partners, run by British spy chiefs, not to say with Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, funded by 10 military agencies and defence contractors. Watch out for the names of Avril Haines (top contender for CIA director) and Kathleen Hicks (CSIS) in case their names pop up in your New York Times of Washington Post tomorrow morning.
There is this moral from Aesop’s fable: “A man is known by the company he keeps.” To me, it means the return of GIs boots in the far-flung corners of the world. The US media would never mention that this set cost the United States humiliating defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan, just as in Vietnam. Some three million service members spent time in Iraq and Afghanistan for no gain in the last 19 years. Some $6 trillion dollars of the taxpayers have gone down the drain. Some 515,000 people have been killed, including 260,000 civilians.
So the sacred cow of foreign policy and the golden calves of defence establishment would again be venerated. Those who found Donald Trump an evil incarnate in the last four years, a Hitler reborn, would sing peace hymns in the background to genocides. Meanwhile, you could carry on with your clowns in NYT and Washington Post.

Preamble
Everyone at the clinic was wonderful. I was just angered at the idiotic rules set up just to get pregnant horse urine. I know the ramifications, I have been on it. I have 3 year old dated pregnant(estrogen) on my make-up table. I stopped taking the hormone regimen in 2017 because some random guy at the YMCA touched me. I punched him out, wanting to give him a blood eagle- but I worked in the day camp at the time. I know I am overweight, I am losing it as an art project right, I was just miffed at myself when I walked out in a cold & darken silence.
1
I went to a Planned Parenthood to get back on Estrogen (pregnant horse urine). I know I am transsexual. I just need to get my hormones in balance. I wanted to get my Estrogen legit. Pregnant Horse Urine needs to be easier to get in the United States. My hormones have been out of balance since 2004 when I had an ORCHIECTOMY(had my parasitic gonads removed). My teeth have rotted out(partly because of addiction to Code Red Mtn Dew), I am overweight( I gained weight when I got into university.) my emotions have been out of control(I didn’t write a new poem for a decade) I took time off from Long Form Improv, had a few nervous breakdowns(I couldn’t stand my own mind.) I just want/need/desire to have sum balance before I am released phrom this sdrawkcab suffocating mortal coil. I deserve sssssum happiness. I have given this consciousness a lot by just spilling my heart through poetry in 5 books. I have also made thousands of people laugh, which is just as spiritual of a release by singing HARE KRSHNA over & over & over again.
2
Today my blood pressure was 160/100. It made no sense. I had been walking the stairs on the daily basis since last time. I had drank no pop for a few days. I have eaten more fruit & vegetables, relaxed a lot. Less than a month ago I had a home visit phrom a Dr. & my bp was 121/80. I was amazed. I had just woken up, didn’t even take a shower. I was 441 lbs, & my HA1C is less than 5.7%. It was a no stress environment. I put too much pressure on trying to be “legit”, have a Dr. watch my hormone levels. There is an obvious correlation ‘tween the none stress environment of the home visit & the stress level of waiting on the ok prom a Dr. to “allow me” to go on hormones. Originally I was told I would have access to liquid estrogen(Pregnant Horse Urine) but than later on by the Dr. I was informed that it would be a pill. I was outraged by that change. But to echo it shouldn’t be hard to get hormones. I want balance. I want whatever change the regimen will bring. I have nothing left to lose anymore, I am 69 years of age for the next 22 years. I am gonna die at a point anyway. It’s my life- MY BODY MY CHOICE! !!
3
I am bored by my parasitic bacon bazooka, I want a pseudo lady garden. I will most likely have to go to Mexico to get the operation done in a few years. I am hoping by 50. I just want to live out the rest of my days in a cabin with a few cats & internet access. HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE IN THESE CURRENT DARK AGES. I walked out when my bp was read as 160/100, it made no sense. I’ll get my hormones no matter wut, I’ll die on this hill. I have nothing left to lose, I AM 69 YEARS OF AGE FOR THE NEXT 22 YEARS! !!
4
Aphter I stormed out in a darken silence, wearing all black. I went to the Family Dollar next door. I bought some perfume, nails, nail polish, a new brush, mtn dew & 4 peel off masks. I contemplated sum Mr. Hero, but I needed to save sum money for NYC, a city that no one ever goes to. My hostel In NYC had called & my room was canceled because they are over booked. So now i gotta stay between the train station & the work out place so I can sleep, shower & relax. I will go see a movie & stay there for hours. I will see a few friends & am doing a few open mics. Which will be cool. I haven’t performed in NYC since AAK Improv performed at DEL CLOSE MARATHON in 2012. It’ll be a fun time.
5
I gotta end this because I need to go eat. I haven’t eaten for 15 hours, I have to head to the train stahp soon to head to NYC, a city where no one goes. I am 69 years of age for the next 22 years. I just want to end up in a cabin, alone, with a few cats. I just want to write & perform. I want/need/desire to make a movie. I will get my pregnant horse urine, keep my levels at a safe place so I don’t get cancer. To many women of my generation x are dying of cancer. The transgender community is rising in deaths as well, mostly phrom murders by jealous men who can’t control themselves & their urges. I will go to mexico to look for a Dr to transform my parasitical custard launcher into a pseudo LADY GARDEN, pseudo hoo hoo, PSEUDO VERTICAL SMILE! !! I got to get packing for NYC, a city where no one goes.

World of Warcraft NFT is committed to building a sustainable and decentralized entertainment ecosystem with users as the center. World Of Warcraft NFT Dec 31, 2021·2 min read
World of Warcraft is a meta-universe chain game with the theme of Play to earn. It adds the model and story elements of “World of Wracraft”, supports PVE tower defense mission mode and PVP player battle mode, and adds level system, Rune system, guild reward system, players can obtain corresponding game token rewards by exploring all aspects of the game.
In the game, players can summon three heroes: Terran, Orc and night elf. Humans produce meat (WWF), beasts produce wood (WWW), and night elves produce gold (WWG).
Players to participate in the game first select the PVE level, and then select the heroes to fight. After passing the level, the corresponding token rewards can be obtained. The rewards are determined by the hero’s attribute and level, the level’s income coefficient, and the rune bonus coefficient.
For example, if you play a wood hero, you will get WWW token rewards corresponding to the wood hero when you clear the game.
For example, if you play a meat hero and a wood hero, you will get WWF and
WWW token rewards corresponding to the meat hero and wood hero.
The attributes of the heroes chosen to fight are different, and the reward
tokens obtained through PVE missions are also different.
The higher the level of heroes you play, the more reward tokens you will
get through the level.The higher the level of the level you choose to pass, the higher the reward coefficient is. The higher the level and number of runes worn, the higher the reward coefficient…

SIDUS HEROES Is Coming Up for IDO! Here Are Your Answers to Where, When and How to Become Part of the Future of Gaming
|
SIDUS HEROES is happy to announce it’s upcoming Initial DEX Offering (IDO) and will release its native SENATE and SIDUS tokens on 7 different platforms. It’s a chance for all supporters to hop onto the train early and get the best out of the metaverse on favorable terms.
Platforms Hosting the SIDUS HEROES IDO
An Initial DEX Offering or ‘IDO’, is a process where projects issue their native token(s) on a decentralized liquidity exchange (for the first time) and receive support and funding from retail investors who wish to benefit from buying up the project’s tokens at a low price.
SIDUS HEROES’ SENATE and SIDUS tokens will make their debut on 7 different platforms: BLOKPAD, Ignition, TrustPad, SpaceSwap, Red Kite, GameFI and Seedify. The IDO is scheduled for December 15th, 2021. SIDUS will present its tokens in equal ratio (50% SENATE and 50% SIDUS) on all platforms, at a set price of $0.18 for the SENATE and $0.0018 for the SIDUS.
The exact number of tokens available on each platform will be announced closer to the time. Please note that each platform has its own rules and procedures. The choice of 7 platforms allows SIDUS supporters to select the one that best suits them.
BLOKPAD
BLOKPAD is an incubator and launchpad developed by the Bloktopia crypto metaverse. SIDUS HEROES is the first IDO to be held on this platform. The company has promised to celebrate the event with a $250,000 BLOK giveaway.
To participate in the SIDUS IDO on BLOKPAD, users need to stake BLOK tokens, which can be bought on QuickSwap, KuCoin, Gate.io and other exchanges. BLOKPAD uses a system of 9 tiers, including a lottery and guaranteed allocation of tokens. Read the terms and decide for yourself.
Ignition Launchpad
Ignition is a launchpad built by the Paid Network ecosystem. To participate in the SIDUS IDO on Ignition, users need to have PAID tokens. The platform has several tiers, depending on the number of tokens a user holds. The platform also has a lottery system. Read Ignition’s terms and conditions to find out all the details on how to participate in the IDO and increase your chances of getting the most out of it.
TrustPad
TrustPad is a multi-chain launchpad that utilizes TPAD tokens to distribute the allocations. TrustPad uses a system of Levels to determine the number of tokens a user receives, starting from 15k TPADs. Its Lottery Levels start at 3k TPADs, though nothing is guaranteed here. Please note that participation in the IDO requires registration on the platform, which closes 6 hours before the sale starts. Make sure to read all the instructions and follow all the steps.

What It’s All About — SIDUS and SENATE Tokens
SIDUS HEROES is presenting two of its native tokens for Initial DEX Offering — the SENATE governance token and the SIDUS in-game token. SENATE holders will be able to express their political views and influence the development of the project. Voting power will be proportionate to the number of SENATE tokens each user has. The token will also be used to buy rare in-game items that make the gameplay more productive. SIDUS will also be widely usable within the game but won’t grant users any voting power.
Participating in this Initial DEX Offering, players prepare themselves for some incredible adventures within the SIDUS metaverse. Getting their hands on these tokens early on means they can secure the most favorable terms while the price is low and affordable to all.

Intrusion: Gaming DeFi has been established by now.
|
Due to the situation of Covid-19, offline activities have been decreased globally obviously in the last few years. Thus, the requirement of online activities has been incredible growth, such as online gaming, social media, and etc.
Currently, everything goes well now and the economy and society are fixing to the right way. Meanwhile, we start to realize the importance of online gaming, which is not just a style of entertainment for humankind.
GameFi’s summer is coming
However, Metaverse is getting more popular and has been known by more people after March this year. Meanwhile, DeFi, GameFi, and NFT have been paid attention to and discussed all around. More and more participators are engaged in Metaverse, and GameFi has made people a new version that is different from traditional online gaming.
GameFi becomes the spot of the whole world, and it attracted more participators and capitals come into the industry. It makes tons of GameFi published but there was no content to push on later. The development of a new industry would attract more players and developers. They take and pay from each other. This is what the market is. Thus, projects will be filtrated by participators and time until the industry has been accepted by most people.
There is a project which is called Dragon Mainland, and on the website, there just shown a single picture for all detail, and the rest of the contents are still developing.
However, the experience of the players decided the participation of the market and it would promote sustainable development in the future.
And Intrusion is doing it hard.
Introduction of Intrusion
Intrusion is the first invasion game of battleship, which is the first native financial strategy GameFi will publish by now. Meanwhile, the rules are simple as Smart Contract works, which is the real war of currency.
Players would attack and defend through driving the ships and competing with the other player. Meanwhile, to upgrade the equipment of ships through NFTs in the intrusion to get higher level. It also will gain the tokens which are called HACK, it will circulate in the whole intrusion universe. The gameplay of Intrusion also relates the economic theories, and it is the first combination between Defi and GameFi, it means a lot in the cryptocurrency industry, it is a nice try and it would build history.
Intrusion Beta will be released in Q1 of 2022, also NFTs will be available on market as well. Based on the great metaverse storytelling, it will get the participation of massive players.
How to Play
The diagram has shown above: Player A starts the intrusion to Player B by transferring X, and if Player B wants to attack Player C (transfer y) during the specified time (while he has just been attacked by A), Player B needs to pay extra 50% Power Consumption (0.5y.)
Meanwhile, the intrusion attack will be determined if it worked or not. When the attack worked, Player A will a part of reward under intrusion and it as spoils of Extra 5x X, (if 0.5y is bigger than 5x, it will cost 5y-5x token to space wormhole)
In another case, if an attack doesn’t work, it will be called safe mode and Player B will get 0.5y to redeem. (More detail is shown on the diagram above.)
Currently, Free to Play is no longer available to attract new players to get involved. Meanwhile, the P2E pattern has been more acceptable by new participators in GameFi and Metaverse.
NFTbomb is the supporter and developer of intrusion, it is also one of the leading platforms in the cryptocurrency industry and the metaverse is irreversible processing and the NFTs assets could increase dramatically for sure. NFTbomb created a platform in which everyone could build their own NFTs and get rewards. Metaverse will be integrated into the daily life of people at a lower cost and lower threshold, and the size of the metaverse will only explode when more people get engaged in the market.
Overall, Intrusion would establish a brand-new world and redefine the GameFi, It would be what the future looks like, it all starts from here, from intrusion.

Looking back: through the mirror to the future

Photo by Fran on Unsplash
Your past is the key to the next stage in your life -Rendon Noel
It’s been a beauty-full 365-day journey.
Just like yesterday, I was standing under the roof of CAC Oke-Agbara with Prophet Olowere raining prophecies for the year 2021 as we look forward to the year in prayer.
I can’t bring myself to remember the requests in my prayer points for the year, but I know I was excited for what it would bring.
I had just finished NYSC and my academic freelancing gig was starting to make sense after 3 years of helping students scale through final year projects and SIWES reports.
I had just been introduced to some students studying in the UK through a friend, and I’ve been invited to help them scale the walls of MBA. In total, I have 3 students to work with beginning in January.
All my last savings from NYSC was spent on a generator. My brother helped with getting an apartment. A few days into February, I had more than 5 students to help with assignments and other school works.
Fast forward to June, I had more than I could handle. More than 20 assignments and reports were completed for more than 10 students in different universities in the UK and Ireland. Through the journey, I became familiar with many business concepts, tools for personal development and people management. I wasn’t just earning by helping others, I was learning while earning. It was sweet.
Then came September.
It should be said that while I was freelancing my way through 2021, I applied for some jobs and turned down some interviews. Just for the fun of it.😁
However, there is one interview I couldn’t turn down. I was advised by a friend to apply for a role and I got the invitation for the interview at a very “unexpected” time of my year. The interview went somehow crazy and I almost flopped. 🤦♂️
Eventually, I got the job.
It’s been an awesome journey as a data analyst so far. I have met a really fantastic set of people and learnt the way of data. My proficiency in Excel and Power BI has skyrocketed.
But that is not even what this article is about…
When you look at the mirror, it is certain you don’t just look in it to sing praises of the awesome body you have, you also want to see what you need to adjust to hit that perfection you’ve always wanted.
Should the eyeliner be thicker?
Is the tie slanting to the wrong side?
Our reflection of yesterday is a way to make the future a little less chaotic as we live through today.
The future is what we make of it today, that’s what I’ve heard a lot of people say. But the future started yesterday.
Maybe you don’t get it.
See, the job I got was not a result of my success at the interview alone. In 2020, I trained a number of students and fresh graduates to analyze business data with Excel. One of them later got a job as a data analyst with a leading brand in Nigeria. He called to appreciate the role the training played in his new career. Some months later, he called to inform me of a vacancy in his workplace and told me to apply.
His recommendation and my performance at the interview, coupled with the grace of God got me that job. But there wouldn’t be any interview if I hadn’t taken that class in 2020.
That’s how this world works. That is what I am trying to tell you with this article. The year 2021 may not have gone as you wanted it, but you might have planted the seed that would be due for harvest in 2022.
Before you make new year resolutions, I want you to look back through the mirror. What were the things you learnt in 2021 that you can build upon in 2022? You don’t have to learn something new every year.
A lot of people like to jump blindly on every new trend. There’s NFT and Web3 ringing all around now. Before you start taking another course about the metaverse just as you did with machine learning and data science with nearly all the courses on Coursera and Udemy only about 20% completed, take a break. Pause.
What I have learnt so far about tech trends is that instead of jumping around through it all, just find how your current skills and competencies can fit into the rapidly changing environments. Are you a writer? Learn about NFTs, the metaverse and web3 enough to write a Pulitzer-worthy article about it. There is no need to want to be a developer or an NFT artist.
The world has so much to offer. The future has a lot to give.
Leverage your past to realign your present for the future. Reposition yourself in 2022. As we enter into the new year, I just want you to reflect on your skills instead of worrying about the skills you don’t have. Then improve where needed, but don’t pressure yourself to acquire every skill. You can’t do everything, forget what your mom said.
And you know what? Your next opportunities are closer than they appear. Look in the mirror.
And have a beautiful year 2022! 🎉✨

Should Rich People Like Elon Musk Create Universities?

Should Rich People Like Elon Musk Create Universities?
In late October, Elon Musk tweeted that he wants to create a new university named the Texas Institute of Technology & Science. Musk does tend to troll online, but he could be serious. He definitely has the money to fund a project such as this, but creating a university may not seem as easy as he would like to think so.
The rich being involved with the creation or funding of universities can be very dangerous. Gifts such as these tend to come with their own price. With creating a university, there is a possibility that the founder could have total control of the school’s curriculum and enforce their own rules. This could either be a good thing or a bad thing, but I am leaning more towards bad. For instance, the biggest example there is of a university created by a rich person that failed miserably is Trump University.
Donald Trump has been involved in many business and presidential ventures, but Trump University might be one of his worst ventures yet. Let’s explore this scandal and what this could mean for Elon Musk.
Trump’s Biggest Failure
Billionaires, such as Donald Trump have tried and failed when it comes to creating a university. Trump University began operating in 2005 and claimed that it offered graduate programs and doctorate programs, but it was not a university at all. It was a company that purported to be selling Trump’s secret insights into how to make money into real estate. Operating under false pretenses is illegal, so it makes sense that Donald Trump would get hit with lots of legal trouble.
There have been three separate lawsuits ranging from 2010 to 2013 against Trump University for deceptive practices. These lawsuits resulted in Donald Trump agreeing to pay a $25 million settlement to the people who attended Trump University in 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010. There was evidence that Trump scammed many students throughout those years.
Honestly, I feel sorry for those students that genuinely wanted to learn. They were given fake seminars and scammed out of tuition money rather than receiving the proper education they sought out for. Trump University made several claims that they simply wanted to help consumers make money in real estate, but they were only really interested in selling expensive seminars to as many people as possible. An affidavit on the so-called university also states that Trump University was a fraudulent scheme and that it preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money.
Is Musk Serious About Launching a University?
Who knows how serious Musk is about launching a university, but his feelings towards universities seem a little too pessimistic for someone that wants to create a school. Last year, he claimed that colleges are for fun and to prove that you can do your chores, but they’re not for learning. He also said that Tesla would not have university requirements for jobs, because that’s absurd.
Personally, I disagree with him when it comes to claiming colleges are just for fun. The majority of the time, college is not fun at all. You are bombarded with assignments, readings, and exams weekly. Additionally, if you are one of the unlucky ones like me you are probably a full-time student that has a job and juggles internships at the same time. There is barely enough time to have a social life. For me and many other students, college is about learning and preparing you for your future.
I think Musk has a different mentality that does not really reflect the majority of college students out there. If he believes that college is not effective then why is he proposing to create a university? I wonder what the Texas Institute of Technology & Science would really entail. Will it reflect Musk’s ideals or be a proper university? I am not sure, but I would love to know how serious he actually is.
There is a big possibility that his university could be similar to Donald Trump’s fiasco. For all we know the university could revolve around Elon Musk’s business ideals and focus primarily on bringing graduates on to SpaceX or Tesla. Although that would not be the worst thing in the world, there should be more freedom for students to pick and choose what career path they want to take.
Do you think Elon Musk may fall into the same predicament as Donald Trump? Should the rich be involved with creating universities or funding? Let us know down in the comments!
