I preferred her when she battered people in dirty Newcastle toilets

I watched The X-Factor tonight. It wasn’t the first time I’ve sat through it, and it probably won’t be the last. But I still came away from it with exactly the same emotion overshadowing all others: frustration.

On this occasion, I did things a little differently and followed the Twitter feed #xfactor while the show was on. This meant that during the broadcast, I could read the opinions of fans or curious viewers in real time. Every minute, hundreds of people who use twitter would tell us their feelings on the show in 140 characters or less at a time. By the time the show had ended, all I could remember from the whole episode was the two performances by actual real singers, and the vote results at the end which knocked out the young Welshy, Lloyd. His mentor Cheryl Cole said it best: “It’s amazing that he got this far,” nicely insinuating that he was crap.

So for a show lasting an hour, all I could recall immediately afterwards was that Alicia Keys played a medley for around 4 minutes, and Rihanna performed an instantly forgettable song for another 4 minutes. I had already almost erased from my memory the X-Factor finalists miming to “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’”, originally performed by Scissor Sisters. Yes, they were miming. It was a brilliantly awful way to begin the show and a clearly dumb attempt to entice viewers. Hell, it wasn’t an attempt at all. I wanted to smack everyone on that stage. Funnily enough, pretty much every single person who was tweeting at the time (mostly all loyal fans, remember) slated the performance too. Apparently the group destroy tracks every Sunday night. So why do people continue to watch it?

The rest of the show was padded out with Dermot O’Leary saying things everybody already knows, adverts, and the obligatory sentimental video package of finalists mumbling something along the lines of, “If I get knocked out tonight, I might actually contract hepatitis. I NEED to stay in this competition – or I might just DIE ON STAGE.”

People who tweeted during the show tended to talk about appearances, such as the state of Rihanna’s hair (“Excuse the French but her hair is a fucking mess!” ), the chemical make-up of Danni Minogue’s breasts (“Dannii’s tits are insane.”), and debates on who or what Stacey most resembles in the facial region (“Is it just me or does Stacey Solomon look like Joe Bugner?”). When it came to the guys on the show, tweets were mainly about how hot (or not) they were. Which is fair enough – there’s little else to talk about.

Still, there’s only two weeks until the final. I tried to get involved and I took the show at face value, but when you look at it there was absolutely nothing there. If I was to become an X-Factor fan, I would treat the first 50 minutes as a rubbish version of Top of the Pops which only has two performances then treat the last 10 minutes as the actual X-Factor results show, much like we get short Lotto results shows. Or I would do what I know some “loyal” fans do - Sky+ the whole thing and skip to the end

I think I was just frustrated at myself for again sitting through a show and getting absolutely nothing out of it at all. Apart from a few new “friends” on Twitter who I’ll never meet and probably delete from my life soon anyway when I find they do nothing apart from tweet about the bloody X-Factor.

So on Friday, Dana called me up and I went to the Brew with her and her friend Kelly. She invited me to sleep over, but I don’t know, Kelly is a little hard to get along with, and I wanted time to myself to relax and enjoy my big comfy bed. haha.

Anyways, Saturday was rather slow and boring. My brother was coming at 10 at night to pick me up, because he wanted to go hunting and my family has this place between where we live and where I attend college, and since its hunting season and my dad spends days upon weeks there at a time, it was decided that its better if I just went up to the place on Saturday night and then on Sunday, have my dad drop me off at school.

So like I said Saturday was a bit boring, I watched Love Hina, which is eh alright. Sometimes the girls can get really annoying, but then there are some parts that I find really interesting and pull me in the story. Then I went to get sushi with my mom. yumm real sushi, and I decided to buy a lotto ticket. I don’t really know why, I figured eh why not, you never know.

But honestly, I have no idea what I would do with all that money, mean I know I don’t get it all and I’m totally fine with that. Even 5 million is more than plenty.

I could:

Pay for college/pay my loans off.

save money for grad school, I even figured in if I went to grad school out of state.

buy a used hybrid car,

save money for renting an apartment for 3 years, figure I pay 212 a month.

save money to own an apartment-if thats possible,

buy all the books I want-which is about 388 books in total.

treat my friends and family to a nice dinner,

give $70,000 to my niece Lena so even though she’s only 3 in a half years old, she’ll be pretty set for college, and so my brother and his wife can worry less, especially since they have another little one on the way. Hmm you know what, $70,000 for the baby too.

give money to my sister and her boyfriend,

give money to my brother and his wife,

pay for a vacation for my parents to Sicily

and still not go over $870,000.  Mean I looked prices up and everything, so its a pretty good estimate. And I think thats crazy. I’ll probably save some for tattoos, and I want to find 3 good charities to donate to, one being for animals, and save the rest. Oh yeah and duh, silly me, buy presents for my family, and friends. So even if I just had 1 million, I know I would be set, and not have to worry for a while.

But anyways, enough of that. So I’m back at UA, I’ve been back since 1 ish, and its still pretty dead in the dorms. And I know tomorrow is going to be a slap in the face when it comes to getting up and going to class. *sigh* only two more weeks. And then I start working at Lord and Taylor. Hopefully they keep me. If not, then eh it’s not the end of the world.

Miałam wczoraj dziwny sen. O trzęsieniu ziemi i topieniu się jednocześnie w walącym budynku.Przeżyłam. Według sennika oznacza to, że coś się znaczenie zmieni w moim życiu (w negatywnym sensie) lub stanie się coś czego bym się nie spodziewała.Dziwne. Może powinnam kupić Lotto w takim razie?;) A tak na poważnie to troszeczkę się zaniepokoiłam tym snem.

Z innej beczki, myślę o projekcie “Rok w życiu”. Nie wiem czy mi to wyjdzie, ponieważ moja cierpliwość do pewnych rzeczy jest bardzo krucha, jednak może warto spróbować…?

Juas… Desconocía que hace cuatro años casi tocan los números de Perdidos en la lotería irlandesa:

También es casualidad que la última cifra sea el 42 del revés y también es curioso que 24 + 19 = 43, todo sea rondar al dichoso 42 con magufadas numerológicas. Lo podéis comprobar aquí si miráis los resultados del 19 de Noviembre de 2005.

Para quien no sepa qué son Los Números Chungos le recomiendo encarecidamente que se ponga a ver Perdidos (a.k.a. Lost). Si te importa un pimiento y quieres arruinar la serie y de paso tu vida pásate por aquí.

Por cierto que la sexta temporada tiene previsto su arranque para el 2 de Febrero de 2010 en Estados Unidos. Habrá que ver si al final se cumple lo del estreno mundial o si habrá que seguir viendo los capítulos subtitulados… Veremos.

Dear [HR],

I’m writing to apply for your [intern] for the fall. To clear up any worries: yes,I know this is unpaid. Lucky for you I won the lottery and am up to my eyeballs in cash. …I kid. But I value a learning experience more than money. After reading your job description and checking ‘yes’ to all questions (especially in regards to being proactive), I am stoked to apply. Most recently, my experiences have been with a publication in [the midwest], where I went to school and graduated in the fall of 2000. In addition to being the den mother(and having to fill up the dang printer), I was a writer, reporter,involved with web video shoots – hosting and a bit of editing, and brainstormed and guerrilla marketed with the rest of the bunch. 

You will find I’m more professional, more willing to learn, and full(to the point of annoying?) with questions, perhaps more so than someone with no work experience. I’m incredibly organized, used to communicating with peers as well as superiors and the “outside world.” I work best when I’m busy and when I’m being pushed (except when I’m PMSing). I have the courage to have a sense of humor and the drive to excel and learn as quickly as I can – there is no other choice for me. Scheduling should be easy and, if I had won the lotto, I would be willing be an intern full-time. Alas, mama needs a new pair of shoes (and to pay the rent). But, I am willing to give [your company] any of my time that is needed, suck up all of the knowledge that I can, and have a really great time doing it. I so look forward to hearing from you and have attached my resume.

Steps

1. Keep quiet Don’t tell anyone until you actually have the money.
2. Read carefully all instructions for claiming your prize on the lottery ticket and on the responsible agency’s website. Sign your name on the back of the ticket, unless the rules forbid it. Make a photocopy of the front and back of your ticket, and deposit the original in a safety deposit box in a reputable bank.
3. Contact a lawyer immediately to weigh your legal options regarding keeping bank accounts and dividing the winnings.
4. After receiving your money, (with the aid of legal counsel), contact a reputable accountant/financial advisor before spending.
5. Remember that when dealing with small banks, go straight to the VP or upper management. With larger, national banks, go to their Private Banking or equivalent division for customers with great wealth. They may have more options when it comes to banking, and have a better grasp of the disclosure and security procedures in the bank.
6. Give yourself a modest initial spending spree and then sock the rest of it away so you can live on the interest.
7. Do NOT quit your job. You are now very wealthy, however, you will need something to keep you busy and keep you from spending all of the money. Try to work part-time, and file a leave of absence, or if you are sure of your company’s financial status (consult lawyer), talk to the lawyers regarding making you a silent partner.
8. If you were miserable at your job, quit, and go back to school or try for a new job. Do NOT buy a company out of spite. It will still cost a substantial amount of money. Just quit gracefully.
9. Make the recipients of your gifts sign confidentiality agreements regarding the disclosure of your gift for at least five years.
10. Invest, invest, invest. Diversify your portfolio, but have a cap on risky investments. Consider safer routes, such as a retirement plan, time deposits, Certificates or Money Markets.Ask your local credit union if they need another volunteer board member.(Learn the financial ropes)
11. Lie low. Keep your old friends close. This will keep you or anyone else from getting kidnapped or getting mugged. There is no need for a press release, you don’t need the publicity. You can live comfortably without raising suspicions.
12. Buy smart. You may have enough money to buy a small country, but you still have to run that country. Consider the additional expenses involved in buying an acre of house (utilities, taxes) or a fleet of Porsches (taxes, tariffs, maintenance) before buying.
13. Commit this to heart: You did not earn this money, you won it at an improbable game. Don’t be a nut about getting rich. This is just like anything else in life. If you spend a little time planning, get some help when needed, and use moderation, you will do just fine.

Tips

• Consider studying self-defense, (with weapons or hand-to-hand), and getting in shape, instead of gorging yourself on the food and extra luxuries that you now have access to.
• If you make no changes to your reasonable spending habits you developed before that lucky day, you will always have plenty of money for emergencies. Buy some big-ticket items you really want, and then resume the life you led before.
• Keep yourself in check. Extravagance can make you lose yourself and your family.
• Before you collect the money, write down or record everything you would like to do or accomplish, what you want to avoid down the road, and how you feel at the moment about the present situation and the future. This is so, in the future, you can go back and see how you felt and what you wanted to do when you didn’t know what it was like to live like a millionaire. This could be just what you need if your view of life is eventually distorted by money.
• Consider donating money to charities that are close to your heart (like cancer research, children’s charities). Heck, if the government is going to get the money as taxes, (or if you’re going to have to spend it as a write-off anyway), you might as well support something that you feel strongly about.

Warnings

• Remember: Money doesn’t buy happiness. Some of the richest people in the world have the least amount of happiness.
• Do not disclose your financial status on the first date. It might be tempting to disclose that you are a multi-millionaire to get into someone’s pants, but keep that information to yourself. Refer to one of your more modest investments if they start wondering where the money comes from.
• Do not let the money be the main topic or issue between you and your friends, extended family, and girlfriends/boyfriends. This could end up ruining good friendships and relationships.
• Do not buy your favorite sports team. Consider making a generous donation instead, in exchange for a lifetime season pass or hanging out with the players. If they start to lose because of your armchair quarterbacking, you will be at fault.
• Remember the odds of winning the lottery are about 18 million to 1. (Powerball is even worse at about 200 million to 1!)

Things You’ll Need

• Winning lottery ticket
• Bank Safety Deposit Box
• Reputable Lawyer
• Reputable Financial Advisor
• Good, loyal friends and family to keep you in check.

Math can be really fun. Seriously.

This post is the 2nd in a series of posts I’m planning to have about why math is such a beautiful, useful, and awe-inspiring subject, and that a lot of us can do math (advanced/seemingly difficult math even). Math is such an integral part of humanity since our cave dwelling days, and much more so now in most of our technology driven lives. Previously I wrote about how even advanced math, particularly advanced geometry, can be easily tackled with just your imagination. This time it’s about probability. I can just imagine some of you cringe at the thought of math, let alone probability. But I’ll try to show you that often times, logical reasoning is all that it takes to wrap your head around probabilities, even the ones that confound a lot of brilliant people, even some mathematicians themselves. In fact, we’ll end this article with a simulation of a game/game show. Not bad huh?

Probability and people

In a nutshell, probability is the area of math which deals with the likelihood of an event happening. It is usually expressed as a number, whether a fraction or a decimal, between 0 and 1, with a probability of 1 meaning the event will surely happen and a probability of 0 meaning the event won’t happen.

Now, don’t be too hard on yourself thinking that probability is too hard for you, unlike most of the human population. In fact, probability is one really confounding area of math and problems in it that seem to be easy in hindsight, turn out to be deceptively difficult or tricky, even for  mathematicians, teachers, and other brilliant men and women around the globe. In fact a lot of us have trouble wrapping our heads around probabilities. You mix that with human hopefulness and also the difficulty of grasping very large numbers and what you get is the staggering number of people around the world falling in line to get their lotto tickets so they could win the multi-million prize money.

In fact, if we do the math, in a typical 6/49 game of lotto (6 unique numbers chosen out of 49 numbers, where the order of the 6 numbers is not important) we find that your chances of winning today after buying that lotto ticket is 1 in about 14,000,000. So if Lucy (one of the earliest hominids/proto-humans known to us) or her people, or perhaps even Neanderthals started betting on the lottery at the beginning of their lives, some of them should be millionaires by now. That’s how bad we are at assessing odds, especially coupled with large numbers. So when you go buy that lotto ticket later, I’m afraid the odds are so much against you.

However, I’ll discuss next a particularly perplexing probability problem pondered by people, even brilliant ones, and found the solution to be deceptively trivial after all. Actually, even after you get the explanation, from a practical standpoint it doesn’t seem like so. But the logical reasoning will quite surely buy you out. But don’t fret, all you need again is imagination and logical reasoning.

Game time

Some of you may have heard/read about the American game show Let’s Make a Deal. The Monty Hall problem (MHP) was named after the show’s host. Simply stated, the rules of the game are as follows:

The game master (GM), has 3 doors: 2 with goats behind them and one with a car behind it. The GM lets you choose one door, which you think holds the prize car behind it. Since the GM’s job is to make you and the audience excited and enjoy the game, the GM opens another door. But since the GM knows the placement of the goats and the car i.e. which door has which item behind it, the GM opens a door which has a goat behind it. Now, the GM poses a question to you: Do you or do you not want to change the door you initially picked i.e. the GM gives you an opportunity to stay with the door you originally picked, or to choose the other door, knowing that one of the doors, which the GM opened, has a goat behind it.

The GM in the show is of course Monty Hall (MH). Now, you’d most probably think that since there are only 2 doors left unopened, that the probability of getting either a goat or a car is now 50/50 or 50% right i.e. it doesn’t matter whether you switch doors or not?

Nope.

In fact, however counterintuitive this may seem, your chances of getting the car at this point of the game doubles if you decide to change the door you initially picked. How? Let’s find out shall we?

Goat, Car, Goat

Now let’s strap on our imagination and logical reasoning caps to find out how the probability of getting the car increases two-fold if you switch your chosen door, and that it’s not a 50/50 chance of getting the car once a door with a goat has been opened by the GM.

Monty Hall problem

One way of looking at how this counterintuitive probability problem is correctly tackled is by taking the possibility of the events one at a time (refer to the figure above please). In this scenario we show that when you switch doors, you always double your chances of winning. Here’s how:

1. First event, say you picked a door and it happened to have the prize car behind it.  Regardless of which door the GM opens, switching in this case either gives you goat A or goat B i.e. you lose the prize car. Out of the 3 possible scenarios (2 of which are listed right after this one), in this one event/case do you lose the prize car.

2. Second event, you choose a door with a goat (goat A) behind it. The GM opens a door again with a goat (goat B) behind it. If you switch in this case, you get the car. This event, wherein you get the car by switching, is one event which you get the prize car. Score one for you.

3. Third event, you choose the 3rd door with a goat(goat B) behind it. The GM again opens a door with a goat (this time, goat A). So when you switch, you get the car again. Yay. This event, wherein you again get the car by switching, is another event which lets you take home the prize.

So what did we get from all this? We saw that out of 3 events/cases of picking either of the 3 doors, you always get 2 events (event 2. and 3.) which favor switching and which lets you walk away with the prize (or in this case, drive away with the prize). So the odds of getting the car/prize in the MHP is not 50% as a lot of us would initially assume, but instead, is really 2/3 or approximately 66.7%.

It can take a while to sink in, but the reasoning/explanation is quite logical and sound.

Try it out!

I actually tried this out with my mother and at another time with my younger brother. What I did was I got 3 opaque plastic cups (simulating the doors) and 2 toy cows (no goat toys in our house at that time) and 1 robot toy that transforms into a car (not bad for a prize no?). I made them act as a GM at one time, with me being the game contestant. Of course to prove my point I always switched. We did this about 20 times and I got the prize car (or robot) at around 14 times out of the 20 (roughly 2/3 of 20). Then I acted as a GM and they acted as the contestant. Then their job was not to switch doors (or cups), just to prove my point that you get the prize more often than not (2/3 of the time remember?) by switching instead of staying with your original door/cup.

They even asked me if I was doing a magic trick on them. I told them it was the power of mathematics and of logical thinking. Imagine what much more primitive, let’s say Bronze-aged men, would think of me, with this knowledge, even without modern devices like a cellphone. Perhaps they’d think of me as an oracle or even a god.

Great, great. But what’s the use?

I think one important thing we can get from this (other than to show you that you can do maths you thought were too hard or complicated for you) is that with math, we can make decisions in our lives (sports betting, lottery, game shows and so on) with more clarity, logic, and sound reasoning, instead of just blind optimism.

If you didn’t get the logic on how to win the game at first glance, or if you thought it was 50/50, don’t be ashamed, a lot of people (some brilliant even) fell for it too. In fact, out of 228 subjects in a study, only 13% chose to switch, and that the rest (87%) assumed that the switching didn’t matter since the likelihood of getting the car out of the 2 unopened doors are equal (research by Mueser and Granberg, 1999).

Quoting cognitive psychologist Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini

“… no other statistical puzzle comes so close to fooling all the people all the time”

and

“that even Nobel physicists systematically give the wrong answer, and that they insist on it, and they are ready to berate in print those who propose the right answer.”

So, not bad eh? Still think math (or at least those areas you think are too advanced or complicated for you) isn’t for the average person? If so, then look forward to my next posts about math.

Da un po’ non scrivo nulla sul blog.

Un paio di cose sono cambiate e oggi che sono nuovamente in sicilia riscrivo qualche cosa.

Che c’entra?

Niente però non so perché, o meglio lo sò, parlo del lotto.

Un sacco di blog si occupano del lotto del superenalotto e del nuovo gioco win for life. Quindi perché non posso farlo anche io?

C’è una situazione paese italia che fa tanto schifo. Il paese italia sta attraversando una crisi nera: fabbriche e aziende che chiudono, operai in cassa integrazione se fortunati ma tutto questo a malapena si vede sui telegiornali regionali o sul tg3. Intanto sul tg1 compare spesso la scritta in sovraimpressione con i numeri del superenalotto, un gioco che per gli eventi di questa estate, leggi jackpot milionario, è diventato, se già non lo era, sport nazionale.

Le probabilità di vincere al superenalotto sono le stesse di un meteorite sul parabrezza, anzi penso che il meteorite sia più probabile. E spuntano nuovi giochini tipo Win For Life che tanto prendono per il culo, complimenti ai geni che l’hanno inventato, tra l’altro non so in quale rivista del cazzo tipo Chi o novella 2000 o Gioia ho trovato un schifosissima intervista al genio promotore del giochino.

Vado a comprare il tabacco al tabacchino e trovo sempre vecchiette intente a comprare gratta e vinci, ma mica quelli stupidi da un euro, magari! ma quelli più tosti e pure in grosse quantità.

Oppure provate ad andare in un bar a Roma: troverete sempre una bella macchinetta videopoker o slot machine.

Per non parlare delle ricevitorie: una volta erano dei posti frequentati da simpatici malavitosi tipo lo storico punto SNAI di Caltagirone (due volte al mese rapinato), adesso praticamente ovunque si può scommettere all’edicola, al bar, al tabaccaio persino in cartoleria. Pure a casa, ci stanno una belle serie di siti online per le scommesse e mica solo cavalli, si scommette su tutto.

Poker online? Sto diventando ripetitivo

Allora?

Sul letto di morte, Morris Zelig dice al figlio che la vita è un incubo di dolore senza nessun senso, e l’unico consiglio che gli lascia è: conservare bottiglie vuote.

CAGLIARI, 17 novembre – E’ un Cagliari in gran forma e con l’entusiasmo alle stelle quello che questo pomeriggio riprenderà la preparazione in vista della delicata sfida contro il Milan. A guidare il momento magico della formazio­ne isolana, c’è il presidente Cellino che si è riscoperto un autentico veggente, riuscendo ad anticipare una quaterna che ha regalato, ai più attenti, una ottima vincita. Dopo il successo sulla Sam­pdoria, il presidente rossoblù aveva attribui­to la vittoria a Larrivey per il suo numero di maglia, quel 23 che piace tanto al presiden­te al quale non è restato che spiegare il per­ché della sua sicurezza. «Lui ha il 23 e 2 più 3 fa cinque, il numero di Conti che ha fatto il primo gol. In più il 23 al contrario diventa 32 che è sulle spalle di Matri, autore della seconda rete. Se poi ci fosse stato in campo il 14 (Pisano, ndc) avrebbe segnato pure lui». Una spiegazione bizzarra che però è rima­sta impressa ad alcuni appassionati del gio­co del Lotto che hanno tentato la fortuna. E così sabato scorso, sulla ruota di Palermo, è uscita la quaterna vincente: 14, 32, 23, 5. La cinquina sarebbe stata completata dal nu­mero 22, quello di Marchetti tanto per in­tenderci, che però era sfuggito a Cellino. Ma gli scommettitori si sono portati a casa, pun­tando solo un euro, dodicimila euro in caso di giocata a tutte le ruote, o ben centoventi­mila, azzeccando la sola ruota di Palermo.

(Corriere dello Sport)

Tá rolando boatos quanto ao fornecedorer e patrocinador (já fechado, mas não divulgado) do Galo para 2010. Falam em Nike, Legea, mas quem deve (continuar) fazer o manto alvinegro é a Lotto. Com o contrato de 3 anos, os italianos só sairiam em 2011.

Daí peguei alguns modelos europeus da Lotto ano passado e mais algumas idéias minhas e saiu:

Modelo Home:

Antes que a torcida me critique pelos detalhes a lá “Bragantino” nas mangas e na gola, isse é uma textura que lembra a plumagem do Galo Carijó, mascote do time. Pra quem não sabe é esse cara aí:

Na minha modesta opinião, foi um dos melhores modelos que criei pro Galo. Gostei muito.

Modelo Away:

Os detalhes “carijó” também estão nessa. Ainda coloquei um vermelho na gola, combinando com o logo da Lotto, além de ser quase uma 3ª cor, presente em muitas camisas alvinegras ao longo da história.

Quanto ao patrocinador, o presidente afirmou ser o maior da história do futebol mineiro, girando em torno de R$15 milhões. Saiu no jornal “Hoje em Dia” que seria o BMG, banco do ex presidente do Galo, Ricardo Guimarães. O BMG é famoso na comunidade camiseira por poluir as vestimentas com sua logomarca gigante e laranja. Mas conhecendo o Kalil, não acredito que isso aconteça com o Galo. Fiz uns mockups com o novo (provável) patrocinador, colocando-o dentro dos limites:
