Pubs and Taverns UK

Pubs in the UK have long been sanctuaries/Anchors of casual socialization, where the unwritten rulebook often includes a temporary suspension of rigid class distinctions and societal norms. These cozy establishments create a unique space where men engage in hearty conversations with their peers, breaking down barriers that might otherwise exist in a more formal setting. There’s a certain charm to the pub atmosphere, a relaxed vibe that acts as a social lubricant, making it socially acceptable to approach and get to know people, particularly for those seeking potential romantic connections.

Algotrading – Science of Bungee Jumping

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is making its baby steps in 2023, In the Financial Trading Sphere it expresses itself currently mostly as a simple artificial neural network under the name Algotrading, it equates to bungee jumping into the great uknown, a competition between early managed neural networks trying to better each other, with massive amounts of money at stake, bizarrely, these days extreme arrogance helps a lot just like in poker, provided there is a reason for the arrogance 🙂

Pegasus is an Algotrading system I wrote mostly in Python, a never ending project as most A.I. work , unlike ‘Google Brain’ its input is not language but neural network algorithms (encoder-decoder structure of the transduction model part of the Transformer Architecture, neural network layers account for context and analysis Data) which contain most of my trading experience of 35 years (fuzzy logic controller) suplemented by advanced access to Information and superb math capabilities.

Artworks

Paintings, Sculptures, and Other Artifacts – Objects used by people that have aesthetic & cultural, or even archaeological significance.

I will start this gallery in a unorthodox way with a black and white image of gorgon Εὐρυάλη (Euryale) a woman who many men have met in her various modern representations …. further down this page Chuck painted how she appears in life .

Versace, one of my favourite artists , I present a small collage I made of his patterns, On the right inside the Versace style frame is an image of Gianni Versace’s fashion artworks displayed at the Groningen Museum, Netherlands. I could have posted my lively and fashionable wife walking down the street, but hey! too much art can kill. Later I will post another Versace exhibition by my aunt in Germany

Financial Art

Officialy sanctioned artifacts, they provide an insight into the history and culture of the epoch they were in use, nearly always aspirational created by elites they provide an insight into social governance. Banknotes, Coins, Bonds as a store of wealth also act as memorial of enterprise, labour, profits and economic prosperity.
