Uncle Toby was the man they, put at the helm, to try avert the running aground, caused by the alleged top two miscreants & their original £20M ‘dash’ misdemeanours.

Oops, that will be the other ‘transformational’ After i’ve had my 1st costa!

& just saying, Uncle Toby’s track record with ‘trsnsformationals’ include seeing an mc of £2B trsnsform into an mc of £20M prior to.. impalement. Kinda hoping his knowledge & experience of what that word entails, then its use here is quite apt. But perhaps using the inverted values this time ?! Cynical’s 1p would be Very good, but do feel it might be a wee bit under what the bod are looking for with respect to their nice holdings.

interesting retweet from Yuval, showing a wee bit excitement with next generation medical data ledgers.. very interesting correlation.

Hats off to AliveCor in achieving this, a medical grade sensor worn on the wrist watch. Quite a remarkable first & coming at the start....ish, of a new century, you can't help but wonder how this will progress thru the next couple of decades. I'm thinking it won't be the "Beep...Beep.." of the mobile phone alarm clock awakening you, it will be the "Beep! Beep!" of your mobile phone's app telling you that it's detected slight increase in hyper--tension, & is issuing a 5 second warning, on an imminent bout of flatulence. We live in exciting times. As game-changers go though, the Tech article does point out, it has been available in Europe for quite some time, albeit now with its certification. It should prove a useful platform in determining more precisely what datums are required for similar competitors to enter that sector. With the FDA now conducting technical trials to regulate the software requirements of similar monitors, then next units will perhaps come in at a wee bit cheaper than the current c.�300 + c.�79 +c.�79 +c.�1000 needed to get this Apple Watch + wrist sensor + sensor app fees + Apple monitoring platform eg. Apple 8, or perhaps Apple will entice the B2B sector, inclusive the insurance industries, with a discount for the bundle.. https://www.alivecor.com/ Interesting set up. & it does look good tied in with that nice Apple watch. Presumably for the app to operate in detecting irregularities, sleep apnoeas, etc, then haphazarding a guess but one would hopefully not have to keep a finger permanently on the sensor as shown..

Evening Polly., I hope all is well. I think we could both agree that a couple of chaps were very vocal in ramping this stock, but there is perhaps still a bit missing from the equations needed prior to working on the blame-game ? HITS has suggested that one of the two chaps at forefront of the more frequent ramps were doing so specifically to '..influence mug punters...for their own personnal & relatively short term gain...' which kinda suggests, that HITS puts the blame squarely on these chaps shoulders... I think if we had to take HITS view point then we would have to at the very least consider if these two 'miscreants' were sincere in their postings & at which point I'd happily state that the argument is false. Q. Is it possible to have sincere but over enthusiastic investors who ramp 24/7 A. Yes, especially when you put a wee bit naiviety into the mix. HITS has a very negative (rightly or wrongly) outlook on those alleged miscreants, in effect blaming them for leading the herd. Is that I am not convinced. Both posters had their strengths but also their weaknesses. My argument again, is that there were middle-men, wise enough to keep below the threshold that constitutes extreme ramping posts, that enabled them to happily post from the background & orchestrating followers to delete any relevant data that opposed their views, in effect isolating investors from obtaining both sides of the story, which in my opinion caused the most damage to the sincere investors looking to gain information. Which raises the question, who actually controls the herd. Nice inputs on the expected layouts of the trials.

i don't believe i quoted that my assumption was happening on a regular basis. Just guessing, that my then questioning of a poster posting irregularities, then constitutes my 'paranoia' that you had previously raised, in response to me, when again, i had questioned your.... irregularities in thought. you need to try loosen up in your rather closeted thinking bud, as so far, all that we have seen, is that it has been rather negatively scornful. not quite the biased approach one would expect from the science community ? you ask if investors on these bb's could organise proverbial brewery events, when often, many of these investors partake in company presentations, AGMs, involving traveling great lengths, and occasionally partaking of brewery supplements with the stock's senior managers. Again, & we all know the answer to how Most on these bb's behave, but the only ones who constantly find that surprising are those on the receiving ends of the occasional orchestrated ramp fests, and of course the proverbial 'do-gooders' who are simply out to share their wealth of knowledge, amongst the..... unfortunates.

HITS, Apologies for rushed reply, all things being, yet again it's a wee bit manic (off the board!) but will hopefully get to look deeper into schadenfreudes & other fine German butcher cuts, the moment I get a respite. Outwith the paranoia, the stumbling around in the dark, & this bot programming, is I simply don't do multi-tasking too well. Will concede that it all looked very entertaining. I do believe though that your two datums for investors, ie the max ramper & the evil shorter, are Not root causes of investors going astray. My argument is, that there's a crowd of 'middle-men' again similar to your examples in operating in tandem, who do the maximum damage to the average investor. Imv it's quite easy to ignore the extremes, but that it's the 'middle-ground' that is being orchestrated. Sorry bud, its lacking, i know, but distinct lack of caffein this morning. Polly, It's cool bud, it's a bb, & at the least you've got peeps talking again. (did think though, that we already had 'competent' bots?)

Polly., You seem to be somewhat contradicting yourself : '..I understand it's possible to come up with a number of interpretations....Occam's (with its least assumptions)..' & '..there is a ...exact answer to the exact meaning of protocol requirements...' So, two opposing statements, one conceding that a hypothesis can be derived of meaning, from taking that which has the least assumptions, versus your new hypothesis, that there can only be the globally accepted version..... As per your 1st post '..all the stumbling over the hidden significance of 'protocol requirements' then your startling relevation that '..the word protocol is, broadly speaking, just a word meaning design or plan......' Then it does raise the question, how on earth did the bb survive prior ? Outwith the consternations that protocol requirements seemed to have raised, then some of life's more important questions would surely cover how did it all start ? Where did the starting point for genesis come from. The earlier experiments involving cauldrons of all the known elements, slowly brewing & frothing, loking for that 1st amino acid to form, or those naughty enzymes, all struggled to answer this, which is the mental picture I then came up with when thinking of biologists. A kind of tattle soup with a few neeps thrown in, scenario. Thinking of what could possibly entertain biologists & of course then bio-genesis gets raised. Bot is the term used for auto-mated answering. You would surely have been surprised if a bb of diligent investors did not take into account All possible scenarios ?!

Polly., '...The fact that the word protocol might happen to be used in other fields doesn't mean we should shoehorn it into that context..'. For an avid people watcher with scientific background, then you would not have failed to pick up on, as it was very clearly stated, that there could be No exact answer to the 'exact meaning of protocol requirements' , which somewhat conflicts with your interpretation of having 'shoe-horned' my thoughts ? With a scientific background, one would have thought investigating all possible explanations was paramount, & perhaps have looked further behind the possibles, might indeed have even queried the official report/RNS author's qualifications in using said scientific/technical parlance ? HITS., Interesting rogues gallery of who's who within the bounds of your listed mot justes.. IF the bb's are indeed cluttered with those rogues of mot justes, why do such 'esteemed' scholars lower themselves to take such avid interest ? Call me an old-fashioned investor, ok.. a cynic, who is also amused with recent coincidences in posters alma maters, then my intuition, , smells an interesting whiff of cow-pat, from those whose summary of readings, then result in a one-sided list of bb mot justes. ---------------- Investors will have in their armoury, in addition to the afore mentioned vocabulary of negative mot justes, a questioning nature, which when hearing of a new poster diversifying his biology qualifications to now cover 'people watching' will perhaps then query if biology's infamous 'mot juste'' had ever been truly explained, namely that of bio-genesis, & how did it all start. The cynics amongst us will perhaps then ponder, similar to the 'protocol requirements' & again ask, do we have our starting assumptions as correct ie for protocols are we right in assuming the author of the report/RNS has any technical background, that he did not in fact, just.. pluck it out of the air? & likewise when thinking bio-genesis, I'm now wondering if my starting assumption is again wrong, should I not be thinking.... Bot-genesis ? Interesting, For those of a suspicious mind. Then of course, one goes back to find the M.O., "....I really only posted on the spur of the moment because I could provide an answer to a question...." Not so much bot then as just your average Joe..

Project, your "blockchain smart contracts" with its distributive ledger technologies, currently now making big steps amongst market analysers, with its new inroads into how information is validated. would concur bud, that its certainly worth considering under the auspices of Protocol Requirements.

lol, there's quite a few contenders for lead vocals..

He he, did enjoy that one '..fishing line, carrots, come to mind..' Well, just for the record, and This particular donkey, is thinking corvids.... ' A straw man...involving setting up a..... flawed case and....demolishing it, in order to make your...case...stronger ...' Crows, bud, I'm thinking not so much 'donkeys' as more...crows, ie. those enjoying the futility of those..unwavering straw-men / scare-crows. Ok, maybe a wee bit grumpy donkey as well, whose morning Costa is now on a hold for several hours.

'....Lol, you think I don't get told about the best of the BS shared in the group...' In response to an observation where it had been suggested 'there are no trolls on here' Lol, indeed. '... Not every member is so naive...' Quite agree & is again worth highlighting, for *cough* ALL groups to digest. '..The only reason it isn't shared on open media is because it doesn't stand up against any critical thought..' 'critical' should perhaps entail a Technical Pilot evaluation ? as apposed to say the tantrums of a few juvenile, spotty youths ? '....Today's update was rather thin.............What new information did it have?..' Just guessing but you could try ask your sources to decipher it for you. '...So little is known about it, only ever got a few screens here and there. Would be great to see the app in action.' So, not so good, sources then. The same sources perhaps who regularly quote '..nothing more than a few hours spent on R&D..' ------------------------ There's perhaps good reasoning why you are kept out of some loops,, not least of which is your proven consistency in your juvenile conclusions ? Small hint for you bud, try waiting just a wee bit longer than your usuall 5 minutes, after receipt of any Ctag news, prior to your consistent profound exclamations 'I've never seen such hystericals'. -------------------------- Now remember, its Very important : Less twittering, less words, more....action, or for those hard of hearing.... #International Ignore a troll day. Lol, & do keep up the good work peeps.

Fact 1 : for some peeps the penny has now dropped on the timings... Fact 2 : for some peeps there will still be a daily "are we there yet" I'll leave peeps to work out which fact holds a bruised ego or two.

'..few trolls now..' lol. not even those with bruised egos ? an observation which somehow totally conflicts with the complete lack of any meaningful Ctag updates being shared on here or any general open social media. brave young lady indeed.

considerate and brave young lady, when one takes into account all the ignorant trolls about.. thinking she must have rhinocerous skin, or perhaps a few seasons at Pittodrie ?

Tim, Protocol could equate to language.. Raised this several weeks ago, when the new 'protocol' that had been introduced to the global market was courtesy of Apple. & it's Big problem was its new protocol, involving 64bit encoding, which ultimately meant that a Lot of the original Apple apps could not longer converse.... The FDA would want all health monitors eg. fitbits/J&J's/ Apple, to be able to talk to each other & of course to the.. 'mother ship'

Hi Tim, Hope all is well bud & you're still enjoying cruising the waves of the blue planet. Nice similarity in the scheduled time required for completion of both phases, & of a technical pilot scheme being run by the FDA..

apologies bud, he he he, i did kinda like that picture with the empty sundowners in it.. takes me back a few years.
