How to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew
Here's a fun way to open it with a shoe - http://byaki.net/video/25724-kak-otkryt-butylku-botinkom.html
>How to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew
Heh... I've been using the screwdriver method for years, but instead of a nail gun I use pliers )))
beautiful

>Hi all.
As I didn't want to create a separate thread so as not to clutter up the forum, I decided to write here.
I was reading the news today and happened to come across this article.
In my opinion, it is quite amusingly written :)
Artificial intelligence is trading stocks better than real people
11 June 2010, 12:44
American scientists Robert P. Schumaker of Iona College in New Rochelle (New York, USA) and Hsinchun Chen of Arizona State University (USA) have created a system called AZFinText that automatically analyzes various financial news and predicts stock prices based on the analysis. According to the results of simulated trades at the stock exchange, AZFinText system proved to be more successful than many investment funds having great authority at the US stock market.
The AZFinText system (Arizona Financial Text) grinds through huge volumes of financial news - at the initial stage the Yahoo Finance website was used - as well as minute-by-minute data on share prices. Based on the results of the analysis, the system makes a decision to buy shares (puts them short) if it thinks that they will rise by more than 1% of the current price over the next 20 minutes. Interestingly, the system provides for holding any stock in the portfolio for more than 20 minutes - it only works on the shortest positions.
Of course, the idea of automated market analysis and near-market news (quarterly reports, press releases, etc.) has come up before. However, previous approaches had rather low efficiency, or required huge computing resources. Shoemaker and Chen dramatically reduced the analytical workload by breaking down all financial publications into separate categories. Interestingly, the classification scheme emerged from work presented at a conference on defence message recognition in 1997.
The main thrust of Shoemaker and Chen's work concentrates on the processing of proper names - people and companies - combined with information on their frequency of use and with data on quotations at the time the source article was published. Using a machine-learning algorithm on historical data, the system detects correlations that help make short-term predictions about stock prices.
Shoemaker says the five words that have the most negative effect on share prices are "hereto", "comparable", "charge", "summit" and "green". Words like planted, announcing, front, smaller and crude have a positive effect. Shoemaker himself did not explain why these words impact share prices, but one wonders why the stock market dislikes the word "eco" and gets so excited when it sees the phrase "crude oil".

So I think soon on the Internet will appear next mega-real for $ 20 with the name AZFinText

Interesting facts:
The thermal conductivity of glass is so small that you can take a glass stick heated in the middle by its ends and not even feel the heat. What is interesting, however, is that the material with the highest thermal conductivity is not any metal (silver or copper), as many people think. The material with the highest thermal conductivity is a material that is so similar to glass: diamond. The thermal conductivity of diamond is nearly 6 times greater than silver or copper. Therefore, if someone makes a teaspoon out of diamond, you won't be able to use it because you will burn your fingers the second you dip the spoon into the hot tea.

It's not a fountain, it's a jet of carbon dioxide. It exhales like that. The rest is splashing.
If you put a chicken's head under its wing and turn it upside down, it falls asleep.
An octopus has a rectangular pupil.
Seagulls have tough, inedible meat. And polar bears have poisonous livers.
Mosquito repellents don't scare them away, they "hide" you by blocking the receptors that allow the mosquito to find its prey.

D.I. Mendeleev had a passion for making suitcases in his spare time.
The fork was first brought to Russia by False Dmitry I from Poland at the beginning of the 17th century. Its demonstrative use during the feast in the Faceted Chamber on the occasion of False Dimitry's marriage to Marina Mnishek caused an outrage among the nobility and provoked a conspiracy by Shuisky. A fork played a decisive role in the organization of the rebellion as it convincingly proved to common people the non-Russian origin of False Dimitry (only a spoon was considered to be a Russian instrument).
