Yesterday Champions league was full of surprises. Juventus lead the game by 2 goals to 0. In the second half of the game Atl Madrid came back hard on them and equalize the two goals all making 2-2 to the end of the game. CR7 had a chance but couldnt convert it into the goal post. But he actually did well in the swerving of the players in the 18 box. All the same Juventus has a point now and Atl Madrid also has a point now so no one lost the match but lets see what will happen in their second league.
Hello everyone today is another day. Yesterday was a bad day for Real Madrid as they played 90mins of match against PSG without playing Shot on target. They were not getting to play some of the game. It was only PSG who was playing the game. They tried all that they could to do something but it didnt work out for them. Now that they have lost their first game they have to go home and do their home work well and come back next time else their second league will be bad for them because PSG will score them more because by that time Neymar, Mbbape and Cavani will be around and they will conceed more goals.

What is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)?
Welcome to Two Minute Crypto. This installment of the Key Concepts Series examines Decentralized Autonomous Organizations or DAOs. On the EOS network, the same concept is described as a Decentralized Autonomous Community or DAC. As usual, the goal is to explain this crypto concept in as simple and succinct a manner as possible. Given the unavoidable complexity involved in explaining a DAO, I highly recommend you listen to this explanation at least twice.
A Decentralized Autonomous Community (DOA) is a collective of individuals co-operating in an online environment to run and support a system or network; that system being structured around rules encoded in the software or smart contracts on which it operates. In effect, a self-organizing, digitally operating social system. Each DAO will vary in terms of complexity, scale, and goals but they all share a few key qualities.
Blockchain and Smart Contract Based
Every DOA operates on top of a blockchain whose function
is to immutably and openly record all collective decisions and facilitate some
form of transaction or data transfer utilizing a token. The token is the blood
of the system, facilitating data validation, transfer, and storage. In addition, the moment by moment operation
of the organization is controlled by a set of smart contracts which execute
automatically once certain conditions are met on the network.
Distributed Decision Making
The bedrock of any DAO is the distribution of voting rights beyond a central authority. The whole idea is that the network is governed by the members who comprise it – it is a bottom up approach to running an organization. Exactly how this is implemented will vary from DAO to DAO. Some may have elected boards that rotate from time to time, others may involve all members in any decision which changes the network and everything in between. Nonetheless, the core goal is to spread authority through the group. Voting outcomes are then automatically enforced or carried out by the DAO’s smart contracts.
Code as Law
A DAO will operate within a set of encoded software rules. If A then B and so on. These rules cannot simply be changed by an individual. Indeed, the parameters of change will already be laid-out within the software or smart contracts themselves. For example, a two-thirds vote may be required to change core governance. The network itself prevents ‘hijacking’ of the project as a few individuals cannot easily aggregate power or network control into their own hands.
DAOs are not meant to be unalterable and through
member consensus may evolve but they cannot simply be re-purposed without that
consensus (member agreement as predefined in the smart contracts that operate
the DAO) first being achieved. Of course, if the smart contract itself is flawed
it may result in unintended consequences such as a hack or the lock-up of funds
as famously occurred on the original Ethereum network in 2016.
Transparency
Decisions in a DAO are recorded on the network and
access to that record is freely available. Who, what, where, when, why, and how
much are all immutably entered onto the ledger of that system.
The practical applications of DAOs and DACs are just
now being explored. In theory, large scale corporations could function through the
sophisticated interaction of smart contracts and distributed governance. At the
moment, it is in decentralized finance that DAOs seem to be making great
strides. Maker DAO a project running on the Ethereum Network is an example of a
fully functional decentralized autonomous business specializing in collateralized
crypto loans. On the EOS blockchain eosDAC is in the latter stages of rolling
out a Decentralized Autonomous Community service that will, in theory, allow
the hosting and setting up of DACs tailored to different needs – an operating
system for decentralized communities if you will.
The coming years will almost certainly see a great
expansion of this new collective organizational model. How stable or viable
they will turn out to be remains to be seen.
Again Club Brugge is Playing Galatasaray and in the first half they played draw 0-0.
They just started the second half and is still draw. When you check the possession
for the match Galatasaray has played 59% of the possession and Club Brugge has played
41% and Shot on Goal is 2-1 in favor of Club Brugge. Even tho Galatasaray is playing
all the game but Club Brugge is making good use of their Chances. I will bring you the full
details of the game.
Hello everyone, Today is another for the Champions to play the Champions League.
Some of the Matches has started already. Tottenham is playing Olympiacos Piraeus.
Within the first Halft Tottenham was leading by 2 goals but within the second half
is now draw thus 2-2. This means any team can win the match. I will bring you more
news after the match has ended.
After a three-year long class-action lawsuit, the case accusing General Mills of falsely advertising its cereals as healthy when they contain high levels of sugar has been dismissed by a federal judge in California.
The judge noted there was no consensus on how much sugar is healthy (the FDA hasn’t updated their definition of the word since 1994 and also has no clear guidelines on how much sugar in a product is too much).
He further noted that “the actual ingredients were fully disclosed” on both the front and side panel of the company’s packaging and the plaintiffs therefore could not plausibly claim to be misled about the sugar content of their purchases.
Analysis and Comments
While the case was dismissed a few weeks ago, it’s still worth pointing out as it is not the only one of its kind; there are two similar lawsuits filed in 2016 against cereal makers involving the same law firm and some of the same plaintiffs which are still in play.
Another lawsuit against Post is still in court, claiming that their packaging is allegedly misleading as it states that honey is the primary sweetener when according to the plaintiffs the cereal gets most of its flavour from cane and beet sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, malted barley syrup, and molasses rather than honey.
This issue is unlikely to go away anytime soon (even though the ruling may speed up the closing of some of these cases), as breakfast cereals are a major source of free sugars in children. Sales volumes are likely to continue to go down because of the consumer backlash at their high sugar content.
Currently, in the majority of countries it is mandatory to have nutritional information for food and most drinks. However, the problem is that for the average consumer the data is meaningless because of its complexity. In the long term, we think that there is a strong possibility that graphic health warnings and traffic light labelling could be used for high-fat sugar and salty (HFSS) food and drinks.
I am fortunate enough to be able to work remotely, this means my morning commute is a short walk from our front gate, to the door that leads to the bottom section of our house. As winter approaches I imagine we will be getting more and more mornings where there is a layer of mist all around us.
I personally love the way it looks and this morning was really pretty. The mist was thick enough that I felt my skin get damp as I walked through it.
I just snapped two photos before slipping inside to start work. It’s the little things that make you appreciate the quiet beauty of nature.
Bitcoin (BTC) could soon shoot to $20,000 as a result of emergency measures from the United States Federal Reserve, also known as The Fed, one of the industry’s biggest firms has said.
Fed echoes 2008 crisis moves
In a tweet on Sept. 18, Arthur Hayes, CEO of derivatives giant BitMEX, forecast that fresh quantitative easing (QE) would further decrease faith in fiat currency.
The comments come a day after the Fed swooped to decrease interest rates on some loans which reached more than 10%, or four times its target. More than $53 billion was pumped into the economy.
“QE4eva is coming. Once the Fed gets religion again, get ready for #bitcoin $20,000,” Hayes wrote.
The Fed’s QE injection marked its first emergency intervention since the end of the 2008 financial crisis, an event directly leading to Bitcoin’s creation.
Bitcoin has dived out of a narrowing price range and may see a deeper drop if key trendline support near $10,120 is breached.
Acceptance below $10,120 would expose the recent low of $9,855.
Some notable observers believe the decline may be reversed following Wednesday’s Federal Reserve rate cut, although historical data suggests otherwise.
On the higher side, $10,956 (Aug. 20 high) remains the level to beat for the bulls.
The number of Bitcoin (BTC) wallet addresses holding a minimum of 10 BTC — worth over $100,000 to press time — has hit an all-time high, multiple data sources reveal.
According to BitInfoCharts’ Bitcoin Rich List, as of Sept. 17, there are 157,210 addresses holding between 10 and 1,000,000 BTC.
Earlier this month, Coin Metrics’ State of the Network report had plotted the latest data historically to reveal that these mega-holders are at an all-time high for the network.
Binance.US, United States branch of major cryptocurrency exchange Binance, announced that the opening of accounts registration, scheduled for Wednesday, will not include New York, Washington, Florida and 10 more states.
According to the blog post published on Sept. 17, registration will start at 8 a.m. ET on Sept. 18 in most U.S. states, excluding the following: Alabama, Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont and Washington. The post continues:
“Although it is upsetting that we cannot offer Binance.US in [these] states […] at this time, please rest assured that this is just the beginning, and it is our mission to bring access to those of you in these states many of us call home.”
Employees at cryptocurrency news publication CoinDesk were told Tuesday that the firm is moving into office space in the same building as its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), a transition that will take place in March 2020.
In an email sent to employees, his first ever to CoinDesk’s entire staff, DCG founder and CEO Barry Silbert outlined four reasons for the move, vowing that while seeking to create new business synergies with the media company, one of three wholly-owned subsidiaries, the parent would continue to respect and strengthen the editorial independence of the publication, founded in 2013.
The other two subsidiaries, Grayscale Investments and Genesis Trading, work out of the DCG office building in Manhattan.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion
Here is the chart of yersterday :
Here is the current chart :
What a nice pattern that we have on the STEEM. We have a W pattern or a double low if you prefer that we can clearly see on the chart. For the one who still don’t know that pattern, it is a bullish pattern ! It looks like that the Alt Coins are taking back some percenst of the global market compared to BTC. We are still far from the Alt Season that we experienced back but it could be the start… why not ? Regarding the STEEM, let’s see if we can go test the resistance line in red around 0.178$.
This match was a tough match and I had no prediction for the team which will win but it was a sure that they will play draw. But if I will have to go for a win I will choose Dortmund over Barcelona because Dortmund is playing home and they have all the advantages to win the match and they wont sit home for Barcelona to score them without Messi so the best option for a prediction was a draw and that is what someone did and won. Today too we have serious matches coming up so becareful with the prediction you will go.
Yesterday was quite amazing how some of the teams which I didnt think of to win won their matches yesterday. It was interesting. Liverpool was able to hold the game with Napoli in the first half but was not able to break through to win the match but rather lost to them during the second half of the game. Napoli is now having 3 point in their table topping the table for now but they will also visit Anfield that is where they will prove the Napoli team wrong and retaliate to them. Today there is going to be another matches to come up so watch out.
