Misconceptions that People Believe Are True

People will believe anything and everything that they want to believe. As a result, it is hard to change what a person believes. Today, we do not want to change what people believe in, however we want to look at a few misconceptions that people believe to be true. Yet in actual fact they are not.

The Coffee Bean

Coffee is a beverage that is loved by many. The real reason behind this is not really known. Anyway, most people believe that coffee is made from beans. Yet in actual fact it is made from seeds called a bean.

 

The 5 Human Senses

touchGrowing up, in school we were always told that we have 5 senses. Namely, these are touch, sight, hearing, taste, and smell. However, research has shown that we do not just have 5 senses, but we have twenty-one or so. Where common sense is somewhere there. Like knowing when to stop when we are not winning at sport betting or leaving the toxic relationship.

The Colours of a Chameleon

Chameleons are one very strange reptile. This is mainly because they are one of the only species that can change colour. On that note, people believe that chameleons change colour according to their surroundings, as a form of camouflage. However, in actual fact they change colour according to the temperature, their exposure as well as their mood.

Your Win Is Due

Another common belief that people have that is not true is that their win is due when they play real money online casino games, check out https://www.kingjohnnie.net/en/online-pokies. After having played a casino game for a while, people believe that they are due a win. In actual fact, your win is not due. To add on that, that will only come if lady luck is on your side.

The Peanutspeanuts

Quite a number of people love peanuts, be it they are roasted or grounded into smooth peanut butter. These very same people also believe that peanuts are a type of nut. This is mainly because of the nut in the name. However, peanuts are actually part of the legumine family along with beans and peas.

Forex Market Spikes: How to Keep Your Investments Safe

Investing money in the global Forex market is becoming more and more popular. The digital revolution in the sector has meant that only a PC, an internet connection and a little starting capital is needed to become involved. That gives people who aren’t professional bankers or fund managers the chance to make some extra money or even to forge a new career. With over $5 trillion made in trades every day, there is certainly money to made in this massive international market.

Although trading in FX is about making money, you should also pay close attention to looking after the money you have to begin with. Protecting your trading account is vital so you do not get wiped out by one bad trade that goes against you. One problem for many traders in this regard can be keeping any money they have invested safe from market spikes.

In simple terms, market spikes in Forex are where the price of a currency pair suddenly moves one way or the other. It can be up or down but will usually see the price travel hundreds or thousands of pips in that direction. The problem comes if you are on the wrong side of the spike – this can see your money disappear in minutes!

So, how can you avoid this happening when trading FX?

research

Research your trades properly

The main thing to do is to conduct proper analysis and research on any trade before opening it. Do not simply place a trade because someone else has or you have seen it recommended on a website. Proper chart analysis and fundamental research into the market news will help you to spot a pair that has seen major movement recently or may be about to do so. Such research will make it less likely that you will open a trade that could be hit by a price spike.

Set a stop loss

Some FX traders do not use stop losses and it is a wrong approach. Setting them when you open any trade will ensure that it closes automatically when pre-defined price levels are reached. This helps protect your investments from spikes by shutting down the trade if it moves against you and will limit your losses. Operating without a stop loss leaves an investor at the mercy of a sudden market swing and the huge losses it could bring.

Keep an eye on the news

Another way to protect your investment is by keeping up to date on the daily finance news. business-NEWSThat will ensure that you see any breaking news or financial reports that could drive a spike in the FX market for a certain pair. With this information, you can then manage any open trades as appropriate to protect the money you have in them. It could mean closing them altogether to avoid the expected spike or setting a new stop loss to help mitigate its effects. Whatever you do, keeping up with the financial news will help you look after any open investments you hold.

Try to trade off longer time frame charts

While shorter time frame charts are useful for certain types of traders like scalpers, they can have lots of spikes in them to deal with. A simple yet effective way to stop your money from being affected by them is to use longer time frame charts. Daily charts, for example, contain much fewer spikes and trading from those means you will have less to contend with. The same is even truer for weekly or monthly charts. As the data shown on the longer time frame ones is over a longer period, it means less noise is present from every spike or move that the market makes.

Find pairs that have a negative correlation

Another great way to stop spikes ruining your investments in FX trades is to choose pairs that have a negative correlation. This basically means that they usually move in the opposite way to each other – so when one goes down, the other would go up. The GBP/USD pair usually moves in the opposite direction to the USD/CHF pair for example. This is great for looking after your investment in each as a big move against you in one is offset by the gain you make in the other.

Money management is key

Hopefully, the above tips have shown you some useful ways to protect your money from market spikes when investing in FX. While spikes will always happen, it does not mean you have to simply suffer their adverse effects if they move against you. By putting some of the above measures in place, you will be taking steps to prevent their worst effects.

The Sporting Summer: Reasons to Remain Unhealthy and Stay Indoors

By the time you have read this, the FIFA Women’s World Cup will have finished. It’s an event that some are predicting as a watershed moment for women’s football, and it’s not difficult to see why: the game has received more exposure and, to be frank, the overall quality of play has improved, certainly in England. The BBC deserves a lot of praise in this department, not only because they are committed to showing every game live, but also due to the fact they have built excitement for the tournament through social media and various television programmes.

 

Sure, there will be plenty of complaints by trolls on Twitter who won’t be able to get their heads around humans playing sport ‘sans penis’, but the World Cup should be one of the highlights of the summer. Keep the date of the Final, 7th July, in your diary, as the Copa America and CONCACAF Gold Cup Finals are on the same day. Football, eh?

The Open comes to Portrush

Elsewhere, The Open Championship comes to Northern Ireland in mid-July. For many, golf is death by a thousand cuts repeated over four days. But this is a really big deal for the people of Northern Ireland, and a sure sign of region’s progression since the end of The Troubles. For those who like a bit of sports betting, home hero Rory McIlroy is a 10/1 shot with 888sport to put smiles on the faces of the locals. Never has Northern Ireland held an event of this magnitude before, and it should be celebrated even if you don’t like golf.

Andy Murray is hoping to get his creaking body back in gear for Wimbledon, but his odds of 33/1 underline the fact that he might never get back to the top. However, British tennis might have a new hero to celebrate at SW19 – Johanna Konta. At the time of writing, the Brit is preparing for her semi-final in the French Open – she is the first British woman to reach that stage since Jo Durie in 1983. Win or lose in Paris, Konta should have a good crack at Wimbledon (odds of 18/1) and might surprise in a very open tournament.

You can hear cricket players chirping

The Cricket World Cup has already started, and it will reach a conclusion on 14th July. England, as hosts, have been installed as the favourites, but there will be plenty backing the likes of India and Australia. The latter will have to deal with plenty of lampooning from the locals due to the cheating scandal a handful of team members were caught up in last year. But there should be plenty of buzz around the tournament, especially if England trundle on towards the final.

On the same day as the Cricket World Cup Final, the world’s most boring sport – Formula One – rolls into Silverstone for the British Grand Prix. There is no way that anyone not called Lewis Hamilton will not win the World Championship (again), and Mercedes look to have wrapped up the Constructors’ Championship, despite it not even being at the halfway point of the season.

Also, in July there is the Tour de France, which is interesting if you like to see men on bicycles and rowdy locals throwing cups of urine at the competitors. A superb niche tournament is the Netball World Cup, which will be held in Liverpool in July. Sky Sports is showing every game, and watch out for England, who have every chance of taking home the spoils.

Experts: Biased Socialist Censorship is Regressive – Instead People Should Have Choice to Not Look if Offended

Experts: Biased Socialist Censorship is Regressive – Instead People Should Have Choice to Not Look if Offended

It seems the soldiers who died on D-Day for our freedoms died for nothing, because our freedom of expression is being stifled by a one-sided censorship purge by media conglomerates and monopolies on the internet today.

“If you are offended by something, simply look away. Do you not have the will power or discipline or freedom of choice to do so? Are you that weak that you have to go crying to the censors, so they install more mass censorship purges to protect your pathetic whims and inability to switch your attention to something else?

“There are people who are offended by images of two men kissing, yet these images are being pushed to all media at every opportunity, and young children as young as 5 in schools are being forcibly indoctrinated in subjects like sodomy and transgenderism. Yet, it is anathema to even consider saying anything about that subject, simply because you will be pilloried and chased from society without any recourse or trial.

“The one-sided biased nature of media companies to only protect the rights of socialist groups has now created an echo chamber effect on the internet, where alternative views are not allowed any more, and anyone daring to question the controlling faction’s narrative has their voice silenced without question or reason.

“Freedom of speech should be afforded to every form of linguistic discourse however abhorrent it is to any faction. This is why it is called ‘freedom of speech’. The reason is that humanity cannot move forward as a species if it does not have all points of reference. If there is only one point of reference, i.e. socialist/Marxist ideological viewpoints, then that is all we will get, and we will realise we are actually only living in a sovietized dictatorship ruled by Marxist censors and their politically correct gulags of cultural destruction. George Orwell warned about this in his book ‘1984’.

“History tells us that mass censorship and political correctness was only applied in the past by extreme political regimes, the Soviet Communist Russians, Communist China, Fascist Germany, Fascist Italy and Spain, as well as the Cambodian Soviet ruler Pol Pot. The level of censorship that is now occurring in the former free West, is now at the level of these former extreme regimes, therefore the West has effectively lost much of what the soldiers died for in World War II.

“We are now seeing a mass proliferation of soviet ideology in the West spearheaded by the  left leaning biased internet monopoly companies, who are now above the law or any form of legal declaration or amendment. The socialist left is now so powerful that they dictate to governments their own skewed policy, they now have the ability to completely purge millions of internet users of their voice without any question or reason, they have the ability to dictate whatever they choose without recourse. This form of totalitarian action is against any Western cultural political ideology of free speech and is more in common with extreme forms of communism and fascism.

“Without balance, where does the human race go? It goes backwards. This is why these socialists may think they have won, but they are peddling their soviet bicycles backwards and Western society into extremist territory, one left from communist and fascist doctrines.

“On this day, the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, we should have seen more freedom, not less freedom in the West. As it is now, Western society has taken twenty paces back and unless something drastic is done today, right now, to redress the balance, there will not be a Western free culture left. It is with great urgency we put forward this message or all will be lost for ever.

“Those men who were torn apart on the Normandy beaches by fascist bullets 75 years ago died for nothing as the state of our freedoms lie today, equally torn apart.”

Squirrel Nibbles Corbyn Testicle During Trump Protest Speech

What was meant to be a defiant speech chastising President Donald Trump and his royal invite to Britain to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings turned out to be something else for Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

“During his nauseating speech, Comrade Corbyn was spitting out vitriol at everything to do with democracy, capitalism, D-Day, private land ownership and of course Donald Trump when a little red squirrel, one of our own I might add, sneaked into his trousers and went up his leg. There was a squeaking sound heard through the microphone, and this is when Jezza started to shake his leg wildly shrieking like a wounded feminist who had just been dragged out of her safespace,” one shocked onlooker revealed.

According to a doctor on the site, the squirrel must have been searching for nuts, or acorns, and mistook Corbyn’s left testicle as a morsel of food to stash in a tree trunk somewhere.

“I attended to Comrade Corbyn immediately after his speech was halted abruptly. The squirrel had bitten into the patient’s scrotal sac and his teeth had gnashed his left testicle. One can understand why this would create pain in the recipient that would be at quite a high level.”

Comrade Corbyn was taken to a local hospital for immediate medical assistance.

As for the squirrel, the little blighter thankfully escaped and was chased off the stage by the so-called animal loving socialist Marxists.

Britain Will Never Forget America’s Sacrifice on D-Day

Britain Will Never Forget America’s Sacrifice on D-Day

Freeing France from their Nazi overlords on 6 June 1944 was not going to be an easy task for anyone. The Germans had entrenched themselves in the defeated country with little or no resistance. In fact, many French fully accepted their German masters and accommodated them very well. The Parisian life was in full swing, the German soldiers entertained in Cabaret clubs and life was good for the French hosts. The last thing any Parisian was thinking about was liberation.

Operation Overlord, conducted with immaculate secrecy was the largest naval, air and land invasion in military history, and took months of intricate planning.

Operation Neptune was the naval component of Operation Overlord, and involved over 7,000 naval vessels landing over 132,000 troops on the beaches of Normandy.

It was the ingenuity of the British secret service who planted the seeds in the German high command that the main focus of invasion was Calais and the Norwegian front utilising German double agents feeding Hitler false information. The British even utilised fake radio chatter, and a body double of Field Marshal Montgomery flying to Gibraltar and Algiers fooling the Germans who thought no attack was going to occur in Northern France if he was in the Mediterranean.

When the invasion came, the Germans were caught off guard and even though the Allies took heavy losses, they acquired a decent foothold in the region to push forward further into France and liberate the rest of Europe. Hitler was now not only being pushed by the Russians but by the Allied forces who had pulled off the biggest ruse and subsequent invasion right under his nose. No doubt it was the beginning of the end for his Nazi Reich in its current form, although today, we see further German hegemony via the European Union, not militarily of course, but through economical conquest.

On the anniversary of D-Day and the President of the United States’ visit, Britain must never forget our Allies, especially those brave American troops who many gave their lives on those blood soaked Normandy beaches for the freedoms we should be enjoying today, which are unfortunately being eroded by heavy handed censorship and political correctness.

The fallen heroes 2,700 British, 946 Canadians, and 6,603 Americans who gave their lives on D-Day shall be remembered.

Hail Caesar! Donald Trump Visits Britain

Socialists, Jeremy Corbyn, commie scum, remoaners, terrorists, Sadiq Khan, treasonous traitors, Theresa May, pathetic losers, are all running for cover today as the Chief, President Donald Trump comes to London town.

“You can see them all scuttling for cover as the great leader of the most powerful country in the world arrives today in the UK. Donald Trump brings the legacy of the United States’ union with Britain over the years, an ally who has endured the horror of World War II, and who has been at the forefront of International leadership, is like a beacon of light shining over the destructive socialist message of Marxist ideology,” one commentator revealed.

Landing at Stansted, there was no red carpet for Trump and his wife Melania, and no one of any import to meet the President, but Trump took this in his stride as he boarded his presidential chopper.

Trump has been hunted, he has been vilified, but he has endured each and every time. He is the antithesis to the Communist credo which has taken hold of much of America’s so called ‘progressives’ who are actually censorious totalitarian regressives.

There is no doubt that he will win in 2020, despite the major purges by major search engines and social media aligned with partisan American media companies.

Unfortunately, the three day Donald Trump visit will not end with a boxing match between the London Mayor, Sadiq Khan and President, however there may be plans for the president’s helicopter to hover outside the Mayor’s office window whilst Trump undoes his trousers and moons the incompetent Mayor before flying back to America.

How to Be Successful in the Betting Game

How to Be Successful in the Betting Game

Making a living from betting is no easy game and anyone who says so is lying through their rotten teeth. It takes many variables to be a success in the game, and these variables depend not only on yourself, but external choices you make and rely on during your betting career.

It’s not like a regular 9 – 5 job, successful gambling can be all consuming and a real commitment is needed to excel from the rest plus beat the odds. Sheer will power and a decent knowledge are a good starting point.

Know thyself 

It stands to reason that to make waves in any endeavour one must know themselves inside out, you must know your strengths and weaknesses. You must also be able to control your impulses and carry a self-discipline that martial artists cultivate over many years. Do not dwell on your losses and do not celebrate too long on your wins.

Understand value

Like an eagle, you must be able to spot the difference in odds, to see opportunities that have been undervalued, and jump in. Vice versa, when the odds are stacked against you, stay away. Learning to stay away from blatantly bad or tricky odds will save you a packet in the long run. Take advantage of free bets like the Paddy Power offer code.

Know your game

The key to success is knowledge about what you are doing. If you like a particular game, research every little part of it historically. You have to analyse every little nuance and know the game inside out. This way you will be able to anticipate and pursue real winners, and spot the losing play. Do not just go on a hunch or instinct, and never think a play is a sure thing win, because the laws of probability may come to haunt you.

Know your numbers

Understanding mathematics is crucial to winning in betting. You must understand how bookmakers make odds, and understand probability in any given game you choose to bet in. Suffice to say, without maths, you’re just pissing in the wind.

Keep records of your bets

Long-term success depends on your ability to record and look back to your previous bets. Keeping a record also serves as an accounting tool for your spending. Spreadsheets should include each game, odds, amount betted, and any other comment that may be of use. This will be of service in analysing your progress.

Start off with a decent bankroll

One of the main reasons people fail in gambling is they started off with insufficient funds. Do not bet on scared money. Your bankroll should be large enough to absorb any losses and not demoralise you. Losing is part of the game and the successful gambler moves on without a twitch of anxiety. Never bet on money you cannot afford to lose, because when you lose, you really will lose. Depending on which game you choose to play, you must keep bets in line with your initial bankroll. Only bet a percentage of your money at one time.

Vindictive Theresa May Bans President of the United States Trump From Meeting Farage

Vindictive Theresa May Bans President of the United States Trump From Meeting Farage

There’s nothing like a sore loser who gets all vindictive and nasty…cue outgoing PM Theresa May, a woman so afraid of her own shadow and everyone else’s, that she cowers in fear at the very thought of Trump jocularly slapping Farage on the back whilst joking about that terrible loser of a PM May amidst photographers clicking away.

“This pathetic loser is now dictating to the President of the United States of America on who he can meet when he visits Britain. Just because she was ousted from her job for being a Remainer loser and had gone rogue, she is now some kind of dictator in her last days,” one angry and disgusted parliamentarian revealed.

During his official trip to the UK, Donald Trump should be allowed to meet whoever he wants, and it is not up to some grisly stick insect former PM to dictate anything to him.

The bets are out of course, and it is possible Farage will meet with Trump, and Boris Johnson, who the president favours for the role of PM.

Socialists like Theresa May do seem to have that vindictive nasty streak to them when they lose, and Mrs May is an accustomed loser par excellence. These people just do not get it that they have lost, they cannot move on, they cannot fathom the thought of doing the honourable thing and graciously accept defeat. We have seen it in the Remainers time and time again, and even across the pond, where American socialists are still mourning the loss of the 2016 election.

Democracy does not mean if one faction loses a vote, it demands numerous other votes until that faction wins. The censorious socialists are the sorest losers of all and we have seen their dirty games played daily regarding the EU referendum result, which to this day they deny was a vote to leave the EU.

Mr. Trump, when you come to the UK, you can meet Nigel Farage. Please do not let some vindictive old hag dictate anything to you. No doubt the censors ordered by May will try to blot out any prospective meeting with Farage but fuck ’em.

Is John Cleese Racist For Stating that London is Not an English City Anymore? We Investigate

Is John Cleese Racist For Stating that London is Not an English City Anymore? We Investigate

Recently, Monty Python lord of comedy and satire, John Cleese dared to state that London is not an English city anymore. The resulting outrage on Twitter is further proof that this statement is very divisive in an age of extreme political correctness that fares as a sort of modern gulag of cultural Marxism and has effectively killed off comedy.

We decided to investigate this Cleesian statement ourselves and to discover whether London is English anymore.

To get a good understanding of the current situation, we embarked on a walking tour of many areas of London to gauge the extent of the problem.

Starting off in North London, we ventured clockwise around the city and ended our investigation in the centre.

First off, Highgate, once a quaint village, now a bustling part of the city, resplendent with some celebrity digs, including another Python, Terry Gilliam.

Our reporter asks a random man walking down the High Street whether he feels London is English anymore?

“Nu prea știu despre asta. Îmi pare rău că nu înțeleg niciun cuvânt pe care l-ai spus?” the man says before walking off bemused.

The next stop was Bethnal Green in East London, formerly an area where Cockney gangsters used to frequent.

We ask another person the question.

The burly woman waves her hands in a confused manner exclaiming “Aš tai tikrai nežinau. Atsiprašau, kad negaliu suprasti nė vieno žodžio, kurį pasakėte?” before walking off with her four children in prams.

 

Moving South we end up in Dulwich, once a haunt for a certain Tory PM.

We ask another person the question about Englishness in London.

The African gentleman explains decisively “Angazi ngempela ngalokho. Ngiyaxolisa angiqondi izwi olikhulumile?”

Now in West London, our hopes of finding an answer to the question are quashed once again.

“Я действительно не знаю об этом. Извините, я не понимаю слова, которое вы сказали?”

The Russian gentleman in Kensington then gets in his chauffeur driven Mercedes and disappears into a traffic jam looking confused.

Our investigation ends outside the Houses of Parliament in Westminster.

We ask a lady wearing a business suit walking along the historic building the question.

“Naistina ne znam za tova. Sŭzhalyavam, che ne moga da razbera duma, koyato kazakhte?”

Was John Cleese right all the time? Surely not…but we have to say, things have certainly changed since the Sixties when the Python crew were so prevalent..
