“Randy Andy’s” thirst for beautiful young women was an open secret in British society and brought him and Epstein together. The financier’s money only made the brew more heady.''

#New Orleans is not flooding

I posted:

'! have booked a ticket after analysing the Great Hall and the snacks they will offer.'

It is not the same as saying I will attend - as January reminded me 'There's no such thing as a free lunch' and Gilders01 commented that there is likely to be a video posted the likelihood of my attendance is declining. Seems to make anyone attending an asset - they are enforcing the use of Eventbrite App. Too much data is being harvested

The clauses in the Articles of Association regarding Directors Remuneration also bother me - some might say that they could be considered as pernicious.

Looking back to the last day that the Articles of Association were changed:

15 May 2015 RNS - "In addition to the usual business dealt with at the AGM, the Company also sought shareholder approval for a consolidation and sub-division of its share capital (the 'Capital Reorganisation'), details of which were set out in the circular sent to shareholders on 22 April 2015, which is available from the Company's website at www.valirx.com. A summary of the Capital Reorganisation was also announced by the Company on 22 April 2015.

Following the passing of the resolutions required to effect the Capital Reorganisation at the AGM today, conditional on Admission (defined below), every 125 existing ordinary shares of 0.1p each ('Existing Ordinary Shares') will be consolidated into one consolidated ordinary share of 12.5p each ('Consolidated Share'). Immediately afterwards, each of the Consolidated Shares will be sub-divided into one new ordinary share of 0.1p each ('New Ordinary Share') and one new deferred share of 12.4p each ('New Deferred Shares').

Accordingly, the existing issued share capital of 3,772,151,750 Existing Ordinary Shares will, conditional on Admission, be reorganised into 30,177,214 New Ordinary Shares. Application has been made for the 30,177,214 New Ordinary Shares, created pursuant to the Capital Reorganisation, to be admitted to trading on AIM which is expected to occur on or around 18 May 2015 ('Admission')."

Troajan,

FT links do not work for most...

I hope the cheese is tasty.

I do not trust some of the guests...

Big dictionaries - some of the larger models use Esperanto.

Google employees listen to conversations that Dutch people have with their smart Google assistant. That happens without Google giving prior clarity about this. In some cases, these are domestic conversations that were accidentally recorded by the assistant.

To raise this issue, a Belgian employee who listens to audio clips on a daily basis from Google has shared around a thousand Dutch-language audio clips with the Belgian VRT .

Watch and listen to what Google employees hear from conversations at people's homes:

RayPointer,

Thank you for taking the time to write your detailed posts.

Neither mention protein folding so I offer up 2 links. The 1st link is a Scancell link from a decade ago where folding comes up, the second is from a start-up taking a different approach with complicated maths.

Maybe global warming is not fake news after all?

It is in Skinner's Great Hall - worth going to just to see the inside of the hall which is a scheduled Ancient Monument. It has a capacity of 300 people so book your tickets fast if you want to attend the free event.

langtro,

No - all that has happened since the Woodford situation started is that the price has halved and the funds have not sold any shares. The corrected Alliance News article below explains the TR-1 from yesterday. I have been following the trades and it seems to me just sensible shareholders selling whilst Woodford is pushed into a corner.

They need a cornerstone investor and a $5m placing - I am not that surprised that I received a reply from their Investor Relations link recently (when other emails have had no reply in the past).

After looking at the Betfair market for the next US President a short while ago, I had a look again.

The odds on offer have dropped to 289/1 and 199/1 - by simply looking at the odds and then reloading the page from the same ip address, the prices on offer was changed. Still £24 available at an average of 244/1 but the logarithm is learning fast. I think the market may be a phantom Betfair bot providing market liquidity. There was also some 90/1 available - that has gone as well.

Tom Steyer launched his US Presidential bid today (he is a hedge fund manager). There is £11 available on Betfair at 319 / 1. and £13 at 279 / 1. I banned myself years ago from Betfair but if I had an account it would take the £24 available and average out at 299 /1 for £24. Potential profit of over £7k and over a year to trade the next US election.

He is a proponent of absolute return - return of capital is always more important than return on capital. A sensible investing approach in a low interest environment. It casts a dim light on the topping up / averaging down approach used some.

Well done - post recommended.

This board had gone a bit quiet but if enough confrontational posts are posted this will get VAL back onto the Hot Chat Topics list.

Obviously, I am biased as I have been offered a bonus payment by my handlers if it gets back onto the list at some stage this week which would double my £5 per post and recommendation fee (so, please recommend this post).

The Alliance News report states that 'Woodford Investment Management issued a number of notifications relating to the transfer of its segregated mandate, which it had managed on behalf of Omnis.'. The shares were not sold but returned to Omnis after they ended their relationship with Woodford.

This is hyper-geek on steroids.

They are the only company (as far as I am aware of) who are using deep learning on D-Wave's machine to design protein based drugs. Their maths goes way beyond my knowledge but they seem to be able to exploit the 2032 qubits in the machine.
