^ and speaking of injuries, this could also be a factor in Djokovic' performance and journey in 2023. An injury could prove a massive enemy to him.
We could see good progress for Thiem in 2023, he still has a lot to offer and yea Zverev will be only starting his journey back from a big a sense.
More young players are in the competence. So, we can't have something strong to determine a particular person to be the lead throughout the year. Same as what we experienced this year, we can see more unexpected progress from players. This makes the matches scheduled during the year 2023 more interesting. As mentioned, injuries were a big enemy when it comes to sportsman. Maybe he could compete with rest between series, participating only on the popular ones. Don't forget, 2022 was seriously messed up in terms of Djokovic' season which was caused by his COVID-19 vaccine beliefs. With bans being removed for 2023 the season should return to being "normal". He is the only remaining "Top 3" player able to compete over all the grand slams so I am banking on him overtaking Nadal's record and over a 5 set match there are very few who will be able to compete with him. ^ and speaking of injuries, this could also be a factor in Djokovic' performance and journey in 2023.

I'm hoping for Thiem to have a good year this 2022, unfortunately he hasn't been coming back, not sure if the level of tennis and gotten up, or if he is not yet ready for the big crowd mentally. As for Zverev, yeah he has Covid, but who doesn't in the last 2 years? we have recovered already so I doubt that he won't get back to his form next month. But for me Djokovic will come back strong next year, for sure he has this in his mind because of some drama in him specially around the Australian Open tournament. But next year, he is clear to go so I expect him to bounce back hard. I think there is definitely room for Thiem to be a threat to most players, after all he did play at the same time as the "Top 3" but he needs to get back to his best in 2023.

It's cool to display the items. According to articles I've read about coin display, several parameters must be considered into account: 1. Security: locked lockers, armored glass, Using jumbo screws to hang frames/shelves or cabinets. In favor of docking., etc. 2. Lighting - direct light may damage the quality of the coin/banknote. Natural lighting causes increased humidity which can cause a process of "excessive sweating" in the capsule that keeps the item—especially items with holograms. So, in conclusion, there are items that are indeed nice to see daily or to show off to close friends. Still, the delicate items that require increased security or certain conditions are worth putting in a shady, locked place. And it is definitely worth using moisture-absorbing devices in these places for optimal and long-term preservation of your unique items. I hope this helped someone QB Yes for printed material like books, magazines, notes and prints direct UV light and possibly indirect light will fade and discolour the material. I store all my printed items in acid free Black paper and card which in turn gets put into an airtight grip sealed bag and stored ot out direct sunlight.

Rugby UnionURCSo after the Autumn Internationals the United Rugby Championship starts back up again, this weekend is round 8 with the games listed below: I'm gonna make a few bets, only made 1 choice already, I'm going against my home team with Munster to win, they will have a full strength team and Connacht look like losing Mack Hansen to an injury, that's a big loss for Connacht, he has done so well so far with club and country.

I think the OP is suffering from a religious dilemma rather than ethics.
If a religion forbids gambling and the member of that religion continues to do it, they have to come to terms with what they are doing.
The way I see religion v gambling is as a member of a religion you are obligated or forced to follow rules, gambling is a choice.

Who are going to be his main competitors for each grand slam? Alcaraz, Medvedev, Nadal, Rune . . . anyone else?
looking at those mentioned, Alcaraz is only one that can disrupt him next year, if he is fit Medvedev does not stand a chance, Rune won was accidental, and Nadal is pretty close to career end (probably looking to one more RG and nothing more) from not mentioned, I would count on Zverev, when he is back playing, others are pointing that tennis is a bit in crisis at the moment, there is no much fresh blood Ah yes, Zverev - I so wasn't factoring him into the mix at all. Yes he is definitely another who could trouble Djokovic. I know it's hard to count Rune, I suppose he only came good towards the end of the season after making a name for himself earlier in the year. He will have to prove himself early on in 2023, the same with Felix AA.

An easy win today for djokovic against casper Ruud he looked so dominant all tournament long, there no doubt he is the best performer at the moment he has beaten all the top players, too bad nadal didn't made it far so we could see the novak nadal classic.
Novak Djokovic won in the direct sets 7-5 6-3 which looks like the first set going closer. In the second set Ruud have given up. An easy win for Novak Djokovic and he once again proved he's the lead with the 6th ATP Finals Crown. Like i said yesterday this would be the easiest match for Novak Djokovic and it was. He won easily in straight sets against Ruud that wasnt even close to a break point in this match. Ruud still was in the final and that is a huge result. Novak Djokovic can now rest up and focus on Australian open that is in over 1 month. And as I said earlier, Djokovic' 2023 season has already started. He is for sure going to make up in 2023 for lost ground in 2022. Who are going to be his main competitors for each grand slam? Alcaraz, Medvedev, Nadal, Rune . . . anyone else?

It's still lose to lose situation. - First option is you can't get money anymore until you get new job, seeking out new jobs would be really difficult during recession and without any prior experience in their jobs then it's thinned out the chance of getting a new jobs for some of the new or even experienced workers during that day. - Pay cut is just depends where you live, if you can live with the pay cut then you can bear with it until the situation is normal or until you get a new job. But with same working conditions and same amount of tasks? Some people would be not interested with that.
Still would prefer to get pay cut instead of lay off especially during recession.
Generally speaking this would be the case. Being made redundant in these times would not be ideal as it would be hard to find a job, likewise taking a pay cut would not be ideal either, that would render the person financially unstable. In the case of being made redundant - there are some people who would be able to benefit from a redundancy payoff, if the person could clear existing debts it might be beneficial, or maybe the person took a complete change in their living and "downsized" their life, made it simpler and minimise the exposure to this financial system of boom and bust. I would opt for Redundancy over pay cut because I would try the above!

Although Novak was complaining of not feeling well early in the first set....are they just mind games?
He already looked unwell against Medvedev, Likewise, when played against Fritz looked so tired, but wasn't sure what he was going through. He was already leading in the second set there was no doubt he would win this match and lift the trophy to close the year very weill. Well whatever was wrong it didn't have too much of an affect on him at all, he win that second set quite easy really. The only player who can seriously challenge him was Medvedev, he was the only one who took a set from him! I don't think I'll be backing Ruud in the near future, as Trofo suggests it's hard to see anything extraordinary in his game.

The media have to sell their products and they need to sensationalise their cover story especially when it comes to Bitcoin and crypto. The only ones who will be influenced by these are the same game who will react negatively to the markets. Bitcoiners won't be affected by what the media report.

Well Trofo, Novak has the first set and I see what you mean about Ruud. He is very level headed and doesn't seem to do anything exceptionally great. I suppose we could call him Steady!
I think your bet is safe, mine....not so sure. Although Novak was complaining of not feeling well early in the first set....are they just mind games?

I watched the key moments in the Đoković - Fritz match - Đoković's mental strength showed how important it is once again. Fritz had an advantage in the 1st tie-break, and served for the 2nd set. The result? He lost 2-0.
Đoković will be a big favorite tonight - Ruud is without a set won in their 3 matches so far.
I had a -3.5 handicap on Djokovic, I now realise I should have gone with Fritz, hindsight is 20/20 vision of course. I have gone for Ruud in the final +4.5 @ 1.59. I think Djokovic will win but hopefully it will be a close 2 set affair.

Yes congratulations to Australia, Men's and Women's sides! definitely a different level. That was a massive score difference in the women's game 54 - 4 and in a final. Obviously the game has developed way more in Australia than anywhere else. Rugby Union My handicap bet on Australia v Ireland yesterday came to pass, Ireland won with just 3 points in a lack lustre game. Johnny Sexton, Ireland's #10 and chief playmaker picked up a calf injury during warmup, his absence definitely made a difference. The game was riddled with errors. The stand out result from the weekend is the win by Georgia over Wales, This was their first time beating a "Tier 1" team.

Rugby Union
Autumn Internationals
A lot of games on today, I have one bet on - Australia +13.5 against Ireland. I think and hope this is a safe one, Australia have lost their last two games by only 1 point so they will be really itching not to be going home with zero wins
BUT
Ireland are playing a full strength squad!
The first game is at half time now: Italy 13 - 18 South Africa Scotland v Argentina up shortly, this will be a big test for Scotland England v New Zealand - The All Blacks should win that. Wales also play today against visiting Georga

Just remembered this contest, hahaa. Congrats taufik123 on your win! Very well done. Also congrats to BigBos & rat03gopoh on coming in second place. We will have to have a tie breaker. Any ideas how to go about it? Maybe we can pick numbers and use the blockchain to decide it, or something like this.
no need, take BigBos as the 2nd winner. I'm ok. congrats to all winners of contests 1 & 2. We'll compete again in the next contest. I lost my Bitcoin for Dumped market.
I still HODL.. Extremely generous of you. If you want to send me your info I'd be happy to send ya a little something. Whatever works for you works for me, but again very generous. Awesome job again. I'm glad to see that you're interested in doing this again next year. That Venom pumpkin was pretty wicked, love to see what you'll come up with next. Another great example of why the Collectibles board is one of the best on the forum. Two examples of generosity by rat03gopoh and ChiBitCTy , nice to see, well done.

^ The only one able to trouble Djokovic was Medvedev but still Djokovic prevails.
I didn't make any bets on those QF's, I was right in thinking Djokovic v Medvedev would be very close and just didn't know what way to go with or without Tsitsipas.
For today I feel like unloading my walled on Djokovic. There really isn't anyone left to trouble him but I'll take a more sensible approach and take a handicap maybe on both?

Good work again, please keep it up.
Do have twitter, insta and all that jazz? Would be great if you could slowly grow and gain attention also from outside the forum. Nowadays I think that works best by running all the social media trains at once, all others can then point to your youtube.
Great suggestion. I do have an Insta and a twitter but I dont have them linked or organized. I need to spend some time rebranding all the accounts to Cryptogreat dane. Thanks for the tip. Also working on making these videos better quality. I ordered some lighting the other day. Nice addition Dane, enjoyed that vid. Keep up the good work! @Cryptogreatdane when can we soon expect new videos and what projects will they be about? Ill be doing a Hodlclub and a couple smaller videos this week. Its taken longer to gather info on the older coins than i anticipated. I am planning on using your collection for BTCC and Cold Key. Thanks for asking.. good stuff coming. and yea I can imagine there is a lot of work and research going into each vid. well done.
