While Shiba Inu and Dogelon Mars are Struggling to Stay Recognized, Guffawli is Taking a Psychological Approach to Finance by Encouraging the Laughing…
Posted: at 6:05 pm
Cryptocurrencies are a brand-new way to exchange money. The demand for quick, inexpensive financial transactions is the main driving force behind the development of cryptocurrencies. Additionally, the purpose of cryptocurrencies is to give a level of equality that traditional currencies are unable to provide. An example of Cryptocurrencies pushing this narrative is Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogelon Mars (ELON), and most interesting of all; Guffawli (GUFF).
Shiba Inu (SHIB), a meme coin built on the Ethereum blockchain, was launched by Rhoshi in 2020. A key feature of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) is that it can be exchanged for any token in the Ethereum ecosystem. Another trait that sets it apart is the Shiba Inu (SHIB) total supply. Produced at the launch of the project in August 2020, and coming in at around one quadrillion, it is easily the largest number of coins to ever be issued in the cryptocurrency space.
Following its inception, the decentralized exchange Uniswap locked in 50% of the Shiba Inu token supply. Users could only earn and trade cryptocurrencies using smart contracts and automated transactions between cryptocurrency tokens on the Ethereum network. Furthermore, the system is also known as an Automated Market Maker protocol (AMM), and it encourages customers towards becoming liquidity makers in return for a portion of transaction costs and free tokens.
Dogelon Mars (ELON) is a meme coin and an ERC-20 token built on the Polygon and Ethereum networks which are two of the most well-known blockchains and platforms of choice for many decentralized apps. In terms of total token supply, there are 1 quadrillion Dogelon Mars (ELON) in circulation overall. To properly burn the tokens and eliminate them from circulation, 50% of all ELON tokens have been given to Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum. This is a similar strategy by Shiba Inu. In terms of security, Dogelon Mars (ELON) is highly secure because it is built on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is one of the most secure blockchains in the cryptocurrency sector thanks to its proof-of-work consensus process, which forces miners to create new Ether.
Built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Guffawli (GUFF) is a decentralized meme coin that aims to cater to those in the financial sector feeling under the weather, going through distress, or burdened with psychological issues arising from the instability of the financial market. Derived from the Scottish word Guffaw which means to laugh, Guffawli has taken a psychological perspective and it intends to preach the much-needed gospel of laughter in the financial sector as a lot of investors are plagued with greed, fear, anxiety, etc which can be detrimental to not just their health but business as well.
To tackle this, Guffawli has come up with viable and implementable solutions to ensure that every investment is well taken care of at each stage, this will lessen or remove fear and facilitate strategic planning which will in turn make judgments about investments advantageous, for all investors who think long term.
Guffawli (GUFF) has a total token supply of 10,000,000,000 and it will be distributed as follows:
Most meme coin platforms are all bark and no bite, but Guffawli through its strategic plan and unique approach aims to dominate the meme coin space and be a positive assurance to investors.

Around the Pitch: Maryland loss mars week for men while women dominate Memphis – Streaking The Lawn
Posted: at 6:05 pm
Welcome to Around the Pitch, our weekly roundup of Virginia Cavaliers soccer! Stay tuned early each week for updates.
It was a shaky start for the mens squad in their first week of action, dropping a tough-to-swallow loss to the Musketeers in the home opener. The Hoos simply couldnt finish against Xavier, unable to find the back of the net despite firing 19 shots. For the first two matches of this week week, though, Virginia seemed to turn a corner.
Against Rider, the Hoos stormed out of the gate by generating a few high-quality set pieces in the opening moments before finally breaking through in the 13th minute. After Phil Horton generated a break off a well-timed tackle in the midfield, Daniel Mangarov set up Horton for a clean look and ultimately cleaned up the keepers deflection for the first score of the fresh season for Virginia.
The floodgates opened after that, with the Hoos pouring on the attack. Moritz Kappelsberger headed home a swinging cross from Mangarov, the UNC Greensboro transfer making his debut in the orange and blue, in the 17th minute. Leo Afonso knocked home a screamer off the right post from beyond the 18-yard box in the 35th, and Kome Ubogu was gifted a free finish in the 44th after Jeremy Verleys free kick deflected off the left post and fell to his feet in front of an open net. In the second half, the Cavaliers were content to pack it in and cruise to a 4-0 victory.
Virginias attack came flying out of the gate against James Madison as well, creating a few strong early chances before Leo Afonso finally broke through in the 17th minute with an absolute laser into the upper netting from 18 yards out on the right side of the box, a brilliant finish that earned this weeks Play of the Week nomination. The Hoos continued to knock on the door, but wouldnt break through again until freshman Albin Gashi fired home the first score of his collegiate career on the second attack after Virginias initial approach was cleared in the 65th minute. Phil Horton recorded another Play of the Week contender in the 77th minute after a nifty flick propelled him past James Madisons back line. The Cavaliers conceded just one look on net while generating 13 such shots in another dominant 3-0 victory.
Things were looking up following a pair of solid victories for the Hoos. Alas, they faced their first great test of the season against #9 Maryland in a neutral-site match at Audi Field and proceeded to collapse in embarrassing fashion. The match started physical, chippy, and was well-contested in the early going. Virginia went down 1-0 off a penalty kick in the 21st minute, but continued to generate chances; the Cavaliers actually finished the match with 14 shots to Marylands 15. The first bad break came late in the first half when Leo Afonso missed a great chance to equalize in the 40th minute and Maryland immediately capitalized off an attack up the left wing in the 42nd minute to make it 2-0 at the break.
The Hoos started the second half with some vigor, creating quality looks around the Maryland goal and eventually earning a penalty shot in the 54th minute. However, the Maryland keeper saved Afonsos attempt, a shot in the arm for the Terps and the beginning of the end for the Cavaliers. The floodgates opened after Maryland scored in the 60th minute, and not even a Daniel Mangarov score in the 81st could stem the bleeding. Virginias deficit would ultimately balloon to 6-1 before time mercifully ran out. While the weeks first two wins gave the team reasons for optimism, their drubbing at the hands of rival Maryland will certainly leave the men with much room for improvement.
The Cavaliers will host Virginia Tech at Klckner to round out the week Friday evening.
After an immaculate start to the season, the womens squad had their first middling performance of the year against James Madison if you can call a 2-0 victory a stumbling block. To be sure, the Hoos certainly outclassed the Dukes throughout the duration of the game, dominating the matchs chances. However, they started the game sloppy, playing multiple balls out of bounds to no one in the midfield and miss-striking quite a few quality looks at goal. Haley Hopkins knocked home a penalty awarded off a handball in the 47th and Lia Godfrey finished off a deflection in the 84th, but the result left something to be desired.
Any doubts raised by the JMU contest should be assuaged, though, by the teams 5-0 victory over #23 Memphis. The game was closer than the final score line would suggest, but it was still an overall convincing victory that might propel the Hoos upward in this weeks AP poll. Memphis held their own for most of the first half, forcing the issue in the midfield.
However, Brianna Jablonowski drilled a shot into the upper right corner from atop the box in the 43rd minute, giving the Hoos some breathing room headed into the half. In the 60th minute, Haley Hopkins drew a foul just outside the box; VAR upgraded the infraction to a penalty kick, and Hopkins knocked it home for a 2-0 lead. For the final 30 minutes, Memphis pushed ever further ahead with their high press into an all-out attacking philosophy; committing their fullbacks incredibly far up the pitch left the back line vulnerable, and the Hoos capitalized with three picture-perfect breaks to run up the final score to a 5-0 margin.
For more in-depth thoughts on the two contests, read Val Prochaskas thoughts on the JMU match and the Memphis game.
The women will face off against Oregon State at Klckner on Thursday, and have another home bout with VCU on Sunday afternoon.

Isro demonstrates new tech that can be used for Mars, Venus missions – Business Standard
Posted: at 6:05 pm
ISRO on Saturday successfully demonstrated a new technology with Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (IAD) that it said is a game-changer with multiple applications for future missions including to Mars and Venus.
An IAD, designed and developed by ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), was successfully test flown in a 'Rohini' sounding rocket from Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS).
The IAD was initially folded and kept inside the payload bay of the rocket, according to the Bengaluru-headquartered Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
At around 84 km altitude, the IAD was inflated and it descended through atmosphere with the payload part of sounding rocket. The pneumatic system for inflation was developed by ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), it said.
The IAD has systematically reduced the velocity of the payload through aerodynamic drag and followed the predicted trajectory.
"This is the first time that an IAD is designed specifically for spent stage recovery. All the objectives of the mission were successfully demonstrated", the space agency said in a statement.
"The IAD has huge potential in variety of space applications like recovery of spent stages of rocket, for landing payloads on to Mars or Venus and in making space habitat for human space flight missions", it said.
Rohini sounding rockets are routinely used for flight demonstration of new technologies being developed by ISRO as well as by scientists from India and abroad.
In Saturday's flight, along with IAD new elements like micro video imaging system which captured the bloom and flight of IAD, a miniature software defined radio telemetry transmitter, MEMS (Micro-electromechanical systems)-based acoustic sensor and a host of new methodologies were flight tested successfully, ISRO said.
"These will be inducted later to the major missions. Sounding rockets offers an exciting platform for experimentation in upper atmosphere", it said.
"This demonstration opens a gateway for cost-effective spent stage recovery using the Inflatable Aerodynamics Decelerator technology and this IAD technology can also be used in ISRO's future missions to Venus and Mars" said ISRO Chairman S Somanath, who witnessed the launch.

Bruno Mars, Just The Way You Are: lyrics & meaning – Auralcrave
Posted: at 6:05 pm
Just The Way You Are is one of the most popular songs ever made by Bruno Mars. Released in 2010, its the typical song a man dedicated to his girl when he wanted to surprise her with something romantic: the lyrics are simple and beautiful at the same time, and the melody is catchy and easy to remember. This article will explore the songs meaning and provide the complete lyrics at the end.
You can find the official video of the song below.
Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (Official Music Video)
Just The Way You Are is a romantic song where Bruno Mars compliments a woman to make her feel good about herself. The singer intends to explicitly say all the things a woman wants to hear when she feels insecure.
As Bruno said about the song:
Im a big fan of songs like Joe Cockers You Are So Beautiful and Eric Claptons Wonderful Tonight songs that go straight to the point. You know, theres no mind-boggling lyrics or twists in the story they just come directly from the heart. And to me Just The Way You Are is one of those songs. Theres nothing mind-blowing about it. Im just telling a woman she looks beautiful the way she IS and, lets be honest, what woman doesnt wanna hear those lyrics?!
The lyrics are a loving description of everything that makes the girl beautiful:
Oh, her eyes, her eyesMake the stars look like theyre not shininHer hair, her hairFalls perfectly without her tryinShes so beautifulAnd I tell her every dayYeah, I know, I knowWhen I compliment her, she wont believe meAnd its so, its so sad to think that she dont see what I seeBut every time she asks me, Do I look okay? I say
Its a true love poem addressed to a girl that doesnt feel pretty. Lines like When I compliment her, she wont believe me make us understand that Bruno Mars is talking to a girl who needs to be reassured by her man. And he wants to take this role on himself: a man who makes his girl feel beautiful.
The compliments peak in the chorus:
When I see your faceTheres not a thing that I would changeCause youre amazingJust the way you areAnd when you smileThe whole world stops and stares for a whileCause, girl, youre amazingJust the way you are
You love someone when you notice to love every aspect of that person, even what they dont like about themselves: this is what Bruno Mars expresses in the lyrics of Just The Way You Are. Maybe you dont like your smile, laugh, or hair, but I love all that. And I wouldnt change anything about you: you are perfect to me.
Thats the real meaning of the lyrics inside Just The Way You Are: I know there are things you dont like about yourself, but here I am, reminding you how perfect you are to my eyes. I love every single part of you, and I will never get tired of telling you how much I love you.

New Regulatory Authority Created to Regulate and Oversee Gambling in Singapore – Lexology
Posted: at 6:04 pm
Newly enacted legislations in Singapore have established a single regulatory authority for all forms of gambling, and have updated gambling regulations to protect the country from potentially harmful emerging trends.
Establishment of the Gambling Regulatory Authority
The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Singapore Act (GRA Act) which came into force 1 August 2022 has tasked the new Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) with regulating all forms of gambling in Singapore. The GRA is empowered to issue licenses for gambling services, and ensure that licensees are both deserving of licenses and accountable for breaches of regulations.
The GRA now takes on the roles of several distinct authorities such as the Casino Regulatory Authority, the Gambling Regulatory Unit of the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Singapore Totalisor Board, all of which regulated gambling of different forms and in different environments.
The GRA will work closely with the Ministry of Social and Family Development, the National Council on Problem Gambling, and the Singapore Police Force, among others, in protecting Singapore from gambling.
Introduction of the Gambling Control Act
The new Gambling Control Act (GCA) also came into force on 1 August 2022, and is intended to consolidate and streamline gambling regulations in the country. The Betting Act 1960, Common Gaming Houses Act 1961, Private Lotteries Act 2011, and the Remote Gambling Act 2014 will soon be repealed.
The GCA has broadened the definition of gambling to involve betting, gaming activities, and participating in lotteries, among other things. The definition of betting has also gone beyond horseracing and other sporting events, and now includes, among other things, the likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring. The definition of gambling specifically does not cover investment in financial products regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
The GCA does allow for physical social gambling to be exempted from the ambit of the GCA, so long as this is conducted in an individuals home; the participants are family members or personal friends to one another; and the activity is not conducted for private gain and no participant obtains a benefit other than winning.
According to Desmond Tan, the former Minister of State for Home Affairs, the new legislations were introduced to address both the increased accessibility of gambling to consumers, and changes in business models which have resulted in elements of gambling now being present in video games and other seemingly innocuous products.

The 5 Best Gambling Movies To Watch If You’re Feeling Lucky – KHTS Radio
Posted: at 6:04 pm
While there are not a lot of people who need a particularly long persuasion process in order to drag themselves to the nearest casino, there are a couple of ways to set themselves in the mood. Watching gambling movies is one of the ways to ensure that your subsequent gambling experience is dialed up to 11. So, heres our list of the best gambling movies out there.
When looking at Guy Ritchies early work, you get a combination of admiring an interesting movie with the excitement of discovering the early works of some of your favorite actors. For instance, this movie features Jason Statham, before he was a major action movie star, as well as Jason Flemyng and Vinnie Jones.
The movie plot revolves around high stakes at an illegal gambling operation that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the London underground of the era. Its a great refreshment really and deviates from the rest of the trope, which mostly features Las Vegas. Lastly, if you even needed another reason, its a movie worth watching more than once in your life.
Rounders is not a niche movie for poker lovers. Its an amazing cinematic masterpiece with Matt Damon, Edward Norton, John Malkovich, and Gretchen Mol in lead roles. It does have a problematic main theme of a reformed gambler returning to the table and turning his life around through poker. Needless to say, this is not realistic, its not commendable, and has a number of troublesome connotations hidden within.
On the other hand, seeing as how poker is one of the most popular casino games and that its rules are understood by the majority of viewers, the dynamic of the movie is quite easy to follow. Just dont try to recreate what you see in the movie and you should be all right.
While some would rather describe Casino as a mafia movie rather than a casino movie, we must remind you, once again, that the term casino movie describes a motif that appears in a movie rather than the genre itself. Therefore, Casino is definitely a casino movie. Not only that, but its Martin Scorseses masterpiece, as well as one of the best movies ever made. Like many other Scorsese movies, its three hours long, so dont turn it on unless you know you have enough time to finish it.
The story itself focuses on the early days of Las Vegas. Not the foundation of Las Vegas, referenced in The Godfather that takes place decades before. Instead, it refers to the golden age of Vegas, in the time when it was still run by the wise guys. The movie quote In Vegas, everybodys gotta watch everybody else, can now be listed amongst the most popular funny gambling quotes out there. Its one of the best examples of the situation in which life imitates art, instead of it being the other way around.
Watching a Bond movie, any Bond movie, is an idea that doesnt really take much persuasion. These movies are packed with adrenaline, seat-grabbing moments, and interesting plots. They also feature beautiful women (in this particular case were talking about a stunning Eva Green), chilling villains, and one of the most iconic movie heroes of all time (this time portrayed by Daniel Craig).
Furthermore, to explain just how much life imitates art (just how far it can go), its worth mentioning that theres even a betting strategy called James Bond. Its a strategy in roulette where you place three bets that cover more than 67% of possible outcomes. In a way, its a variation of Martingale. Naturally, the movie Bond, would more likely bet all or nothing.
Why would a casino heist movie be listed on a gambling movies list? Well, first of all, because it heavily features gambling in virtually every scene. Second, it captures the casino spirit better than the majority of gambling movies do. You see, the majority of people go there for the experience and the high-end casino experience is something that the majority of players will probably never get a chance to experience. Here, they can at least live it through art.
Then, theres another reason for watching. You see, every casino loss feels somehow personal. So, watching a movie that features a successful casino heist may bring a certain dose of personal satisfaction to the gambler in question. Through the losses of the fictional casino targeted by Clooney and the crew, you can live your fantasy of a personal vendetta.
It goes without saying that movies are not the only show that can capture the spirit of high-end Las Vegas casino life. TV shows like Las Vegas do a perfect job of depicting how a massive casino operates on a daily basis. It follows the lives and adventures of the casino hotels staff and has an incredible cast, while at it. The show also features a long list of celebrities.
Boardwalk Empire is another great show that shows what gambling looked like in the roaring 20s, while prohibition was at its peak. While it has other focuses and motifs (moonshining, speakeasies, early days of Italian mafia in the States), casino life is also heavily featured. After all, the series takes place during the formation days of Atlantic City. Also, it features Arnold Rothstein, one of the most notorious gamblers of all time. This alone would be enough to qualify the series for this list.
Needless to say, the list goes on and on.
Keep in mind that the role of the movies is to entertain you, however, if you pay close attention, you might be able to learn a lesson or two. Moreover, its a time-travel machine of sorts. Both the gambling and casinos have evolved over the course of time. So, if you want to feel what it was like in the old days, this is probably your only choice.
In the words of Ace Rothstein (Casino), describing present-day Vegas Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Juniors college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, its like checkin into an airport.
Watching movies from this period is the only way to bring these days back (at least for a couple of hours).

Are you passionate about Counter Strike: Global Offensive? Did you know that you could make money from your passion? Its true! Betting on CS:GO championships has become more popular than ever in 2022. Its a quick, fun way to make money. Online betting can be incredibly lucrative, as long as you keep your money safe. Thankfully, there are tips to make sure you avoid scams, stay safe, and earn money!
One of the most important factors to consider when staying safe while betting is to find a reputable and trustworthy website to bet on. You can find a great website by researching online, asking your friends, or seeing what your online community recommends. You can find CS:GO betting sites like greenwall.gg. When you find a site you like, make sure to check its reviews and policies. Then, you will be sure that your money will stay safe.
Many sites, including CS:GO betting sites, will prompt you to make an account and secure it with a password. If your password is weak, a hacker can easily access your account and steal your money. The stronger your password, the more safe your money will be. To form a strong password, use capitalization, punctuation, and numbers. Make sure your password is unique and not tied to any important dates, such as your year of birth.
To keep yourself and others safe, you should always report hackers and cyberbullies. If you suspect your account has been hacked, report the incident and change your password as soon as you can. If you are the victim of cyberbullying, block the account and report the incident. This way, you are not only keeping yourself safe, but you are also making CS:GO championship betting safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
A VPN, or a virtual private network, is a great way to make sure hackers cannot track your activity while you deal with your money and bank accounts on CS:GO betting sites. To find a VPN that will work best for you, do research online and ask those you trust if they use a VPN or can recommend a good one. With a VPN, you will not have to worry about your money ending up in the wrong hands.
Unfortunately, some betting sites can contain links to viruses. Always be careful of what you click, and close any pop ups or strange tabs that open immediately. You can also download antivirus software. This will ensure that even if you do click a link that downloads a virus onto your computer, you will remain safe and unaffected by the virus. Antivirus software can give you great peace of mind while you are using betting sites.
Betting with others is always more fun than betting alone, especially when it comes to betting on CS:GO championships! Make sure to choose well, though. Some people will just be interested in maximizing their own profit at the expense of anyone else, or will recommend bad decisions to you on purpose so that you lose money. Make sure to stay away from these types of people and build a great community around yourself that will help you profit.
If you can avoid it, do not use your bank details or your card number on betting sites. Instead, use cryptocurrency accounts. In 2022, many CS:GO championship betting sites are allowing you to pay with cryptocurrency instead of linking your bank or card details with your account. This can prevent hackers from accessing all of your personal information and can even make the betting process easier and more fun.
An important part of betting is to take breaks every now and then. It might be easy for you to get caught up in the CS:GO betting sites all day, but a great way to ensure your safety and your wallets endurance is to step away from your computer. Take a shower, make yourself a meal, or stretch before you get back on. This will clear your head and help you make better betting decisions as well as keep you healthy!
Betting on CS:GO championships is a great opportunity to make money and connect with people who are just as passionate about CS:GO as you. With these tips, you will be able to stay safe while making money!

Wilt Chamberlain was relentlessly pursued by the FBI for ‘heavy gambling’ and was seen at a $9.13 billion… – The Sportsrush

FBI maintained a file on legendary center Wilt Chamberlain to keep a tab on his alleged out-of-hand gambling habit
Wilt Chamberlain is almost an urban legend. His escapades and conquests are so great and mighty that it is extremely hard to believe in them.
We come from a generation that saw Kobe Bryant drop 81 points in a game. The sheer rarity and difficulty of Bryants feat havent gone unrealized.
But, in front of Wilt Chamberlains numbers and records, even Mambas 81 shrinks. For starters, Wilts career averages are better than most of your usual MVPs. He averaged 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds per game.
If that isnt mind-blowing enough, Chamberlain once averaged 50.4 points in an entire season. To make matters even more ridiculous, he coupled his incredible scoring with 25.7 rebounds per game while averaging 48.5 minutes played.
The only man ever to score 100 points in the game, Chamberlain is as iconic as players of the past. He took his scoring and rebounding to a level that is unheard of before him or since.
What is even more awe-inspiring, Wilt scored so many points in a game before the dawn of the three-point line. He was such a bully inside the perimeter that he had no need for the three-pointer to trump any scorer that has played after him.
But despite his legend, the FBI remained skeptical of the Warriors legend.

In the late 60s, Chamberlain was one of the biggest names in the NBA alongside the likes of Bill Russell and Jerry West.
The grasp he had over the fans was tighter than the tightest vise. His athleticism drew hoards of crowds and brought him heaps of fame.
The fame, although great for his career and legacy, also brought the unwanted attention of the FBI on him.
The Bureau apparently investigated Wilt for three consecutive years on rumors that he regularly bet on his own games. The investigation also aimed to find out whether the formidable former center also indulged in point shaving.
The FBI alleged that Wilt was seen in and around Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, which was and still is one of the biggest casinos in the world. The Caesars Entertainment group is worth a whopping $9.13 billion.
This investigation was subsequently dropped by the Bureau. Wilt was never found guilty of betting on any game or shaving points. He has remained a legend even after his death.
Do you think the FBI started the file on Wilt out of spite for a black athlete who got successful?
