Financial Analytics Forecasting currencies exchange rates fluctuations is tough task. Though if you know where exactly to look it can become much more pleasant experience. Sometimes correlation between two parameters is not obvious at all, but if your efforts will be sufficient enough, outcome will be truly generous. Here’s one example of a correlation graph discovered by our specialists.

PBL price (in BTC)

0.005 BT C

0.003 BT C

Of course, we would need to take much wider time range to make this comparison representative enough to take it in count, but in the range of week these two parameters had so strong connectivity that it is quite safe to assume there really is a link between them.

This is a good example of a first contact. As you see, a subject introduces himself in the first lines of a letter to set a close relationship and gets right to the point at once. Letter should not be long - nobody reads long letters and you have to got some unique flavour of the text, to make your message different from hundreds of other ones. Although, the real difficulties raise up when you have already interested your vis-à-vis and got to the interview. These tips are going to help you overcome them. Tip #1

Take a call during the interview. Say “I can’t talk now I’m going into a tunnel- tunnel of a hope!” Wink at interviewer.

Tip #4 Show you’re good at delegating responsibility by sending someone else to the interview.

Tip #2

Always make eye contact and if you have two interviewers, train your eyes to work independently like a chameleon.

Tip #5

Tip #3

Tell them you’re no an applicant, you’re aplliCAN. Lick your finger, hold it against buttock. Make sizzling noise.

Tip #6 If asked where you see yourself in 5 yrs’ time, tip them out of their chair, sit on it & say “Here”. Break open a Fanta.

Remember, every question is a test so when they say “How are you?” reply “Goal orientated, thank you.”

WHY 38 IS THE BEST AGE? 26

FORBES MAY 22, 2018


Besides that it is an age when you are literally in the prime of your life, a t all times 38 was a sacred number for all ancient people and science finally have proved it’s special meaning. Let us share some mind-blowing facts.

1 2 3 4 5

38! is the 16th factorial prime (of your life, as you remember)

38 is the atomic number of strontium (which means strength in astrochemistry)

38 is the number of slots on an American roulette wheel (that means luck)

There is no answer to the equation φ(x) = 38 (that means mental journey)

38 => 3+8 = 11 38 ↺ 83 38 + 83 = 112

(Don’t know what it means, but it’s just WOW!)

6 7 8 9

In numerology number 38 is about relationships: teamwork, diplomacy, companionship, pulling together, cooperation. In 38 BC Octavian August became an Emperor (that means achieving goals)

3 is a number loved by gods and rotated 8 is ∞ (that means infinite bless)

Antons Sapriko was 38 when he was in Forbes for the first time (that means strength, bless, achieving goals, successful relationships, mental journey, luck, prime of a life and just WOW!)

CEO in a living nature: peek inside

An exciting creations that control the behaviour of its whole ecosystem for the first time been studied by scientists. Today we will take a particular species and look at it as an example. ANTONS (Ceosus Scandiwebae) - is the most recognizable in his class. He occurs mostly in Baltic urban and suburban areas, but sometimes you can see him worldwide. Antons can be active at any time, his activity generally peaks after dusk and on weekends. Intermittent bursts of activity follow through the night hours until dawn, when answering emails most often takes place.

FORBES MAY 22, 2018

Antons is a generalist hypermailivore and usually hunts in co-operation with other surrounding mailivores. Antons is particulary known for his stamina. After he notices an email that lays in his area of interest, Antons is able to continuously sending comments and answers for very long time and won’t stop until he gets a desired result.


When resting, Antons socialisation occurs through a number of behaviours, and his expressive movements are highly developed. Their repertoire of vocalisations is also large, though most common is loud laughing in a very characteristic manner, starting with a few deep, Antons laughs that trail off into a series of shorter ones.

Group of mailivores can patiently ambush their victim for hours.

Although adult lions have no natural predators, he keeps himself in a good shape pefrorming various activities. He has often been seen attenting running events and really admires water activities into the wildlife.

Antons started to perform actively since being a cub and was continuosly maintaining his territory from that time not avoiding even pursuing huge targets as fully grown Rockars (Magentum Machinae), Timesnewromans (Mercato Divulgationis) or Walmart (Mercato Vulgaris Maximus). Even being a cub Antons a sophisticated level of cognition and even uses different kinds of tools
