30 Day Challenge - Science (Day #2)

in #science7 years ago

The day begun with a 5.4km run, a rarity of sorts given my contempt for the early morning start. What a positive start to the day. Reading was the next port of call during the travel into uni. Titled 'Changing the Game' by William Hall III, this book so far has proven very underwhelming. Note to the author, trying to sell your betting product every three pages isn't conducive to a high quality read. However, I will push through to attain any gems that may appear.

Next on the agenda was learning about Cohen's Kappa inter-rater reliability test. Shout out to Todd Grande for a terrific YouTube video which explained this concept in detail within all of fifteen minutes.

Articles on transfers were poured through in the PM. Gyfi Sigurdsson worth 50 million pounds! Ludicrous. Ted Knutson summed it up particularly well in his article over on the independent. The link is below for anyone interested. Analytic measures also insist that new Liverpool man Mohamed Salah will prove a formidable purchase. Purchase is an odd word, but even Raphael Honigstein recently suggested players are much like commodities. Salah produced two strong seasons for Roma, decreasing in successful dribbles but increasing his goal and assist output. Notably he ranks strongly in these categories from general play, something Gylfi is unable to lay claim to.

Crypto slowed in decline today and saw a mini bounce back over the last few hours. With Bitcoin preparing for the August 1st decision, its very interesting that Litecoin appears to be one of the coins that has managed to hold some level of value, at least in relation to the other altcoins. Perhaps Louis Thomas' prediction of a strong medium term future for Litecoin will prove correct. We shall wait and see!

Day 2 down of the 30 day challenge. I'd like to say thanks for my three new followers! The support is extremely appreciated!
