![]() Trying to ‘get good at breeding’ might be akin to getting good at flipping a coin and it might change in a few months due to breeding algo updates. This approach can also be used to create a pricing anchor for bred horses in the open market. This approach embraces that there is a random element to breeding and a black box genetic algo. Combining what has been stated by the ZED team, researched by the community and shown in data analysis of the 126k horses in the game. ZED can and has changed the algoĮxpected Value Breeding Theory is less a theory and more of a rational approach to breeding in the current landscape of ZED Run. Rule 2: Know the odds of a ‘winning’ horse.Rule 1: Bargain hunt for base ability - don’t pay for pedigree (name/win rate/speed/dist preference).Thanks to a recent update to the filtered horse queries it is now possible to quickly calculate ‘winning’ horses vs total bred population. The expected value of a breed is calculated by factoring in breed cost, racing cost, donkey floor for breed type balanced against the actual odds of getting a ‘winning’ horse based on the current bred population. The goal of Expected Value Breeding Theory is to optimize for the highest quality breed attempts at the lowest possible price. It is more practical math than it is theory but it is more likely to catch on to call it a theory in ZED world. The Expected Value Breeding Theory is a practical way to breed in an uncertain environment for new and growing stables that doesn’t require an advanced stats program or a massive budget.

As Max drives the tanker it is like being surrounded by filthy shit eating flies coming into contact with rancid meat as the marauders pursue the tanker. The camp needs a tanker to transport the precious fuel and Max makes a deal to go get one. An eight year old boy from the camp throws a steel boomerang and connects into the skull of another one of these marauders crushing, caving the skull sending him to hell. Max crushes the skull of one of these scumbags as easily as crushing an eggshell, the goo, bone, head cheese oozes gore. Max still has a conscience somewhere dormant in his brain and tries to save a girl attacked by the marauders. As Max surveys the warfare he consumes a can of dog food. Leading the attack was Humungus, a great hulk of a man, muscles rippling, his face covered by a metal mask. The camp were returning fire with arrows and fireballs. Max will find a fortified camp surrounded by a deep ditch, barbed wire towers and accommodation huts attacked by bikes, dune buggies, street racers raining arrows into the camp. The desolate road, metal on metal speed, evading, turning, pushing the vehicles to their limit. Max was tearing up the barren roads in his black-on-black pursuit car being pursued by marauders trying to kill him for his precious fuel. Fuel prices had rocketed and rocketed, no amount of money was enough, factories and businesses had come to a halt, society was breaking down. ![]() This implies that Nilsen had a very distorted view of himself. Stories like this are so fascinating, but how true are they? In parts of the documentary, we have a police officer talking about Nilsen as a person and then we have Nilsen “typing” on the typewriter, a complete contradiction. Apparently, in the army, he would cover himself with powder and imagine himself as a dead body. Nilsen was a police officer and he’d been in the army. Whilst this is about Nilsen, we are also given a detailed insight into London in that era.ĭelving into Nilsen’s past, the documentary discusses his childhood and we try to unravel, as we always do, what makes someone a serial killer. ![]() However, the way in which this is directed, I would say this is not really about Nilsen’s memories, but memories about Nilsen. It isn’t distracting to the average viewer, but I found it a little over the top and unnecessary. Everyone interviewed is interviewed in dark, dingy rooms, probably to resemble Nilsen’s dark and dank apartment. We hear stories and accounts from police, journalists, survivors, and bereaved families in the documentary, recalling what happened during the investigation. He targeted “rent-boys” and gay men knowing that they would fall into the ether of London. That’s probably one thing that stood out for me and has stayed with me. Heartbreakingly, a lot of the victims weren’t even recorded missing therefore no one was looking for them. Here, we have a killer who claimed he didn’t know the victims, so the police have to find the identity of the victims. What makes this different or makes it stand out is that usually we have a victim and the hunt is to find the killer. It’s clear he thought himself to be very important and wants to go down as some sort of king in British crime history. In this documentary we hear recordings from cassette tapes Nilsen made in prison, allowing him to narrate and tell his story. This documentary is roughly an hour and a half and is in the style of Conversations with A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes. The blockage was caused by human remains. His crimes were uncovered when his neighbours called in a specialist to deal with blocked drains. Nilsen was a Scottish serial killer and necrophiliac who murdered more than 15 young men and boys between 19 in London. Netflix has answered our prayers and given us another documentary, with this focus being on the notorious killer, Dennis Nilsen. ![]() This clearly results in a change in disorder (entropy). When Chemical Reactions take place, the various elements are reorganised in the formation of products. These standard entropy values are referenced to a true zero i.e at 0 K and therefore are absolute quantities, thus unlike most other thermodynamic quantities where at the standard state a value of zero is assigned entropy values are non zero. Any enthalpy change is then the difference relative to this zero. Therefore, an arbitrary zero value is assigned at 298 K and 1 atm. The enthalpy of a system cannot be measured but only the difference. Note the higher values for the Gases which is also 'dependent' on their formula masses,and the very low values for the solids as expected since they are more ordered. Standard absolute entropies at 1 bar and 298 K The C p functions are different for the different states. For a substance that goes through one transition before melting and vaporizing the entropy is: At still higher temperature it melts, and finally it vaporizes. As the temperature increases the crystal may go through transitions (trs) to different structures. This means that C p approaches zero asymptotically when T approaches zero. It has been shown theoretically that C p is proportional to T 3 at very low temperatures. The lower limit of the integral when both C p and T are equal to zero, can be shown to be zero. The absolute value of the entropy when the crystal is heated from 0 K to T is obtained from eq. The absolute zero temperature needs special mentioning. (5.1), we can obtain absolute values of the entropy for any element or compound by applying eqs (5.2 - 5.5). According to the postulate of the third law as expressed in eq. This demonstrates the very close relation between entropy and disorder. It has been shown experimentally that ∆ vapS ≈ 88 J K -1 mol -1 for very many non-polar liquids (Trouton's rule). Here ∆ vapH is the enthalpy of vaporization and T b is the boiling point. The change in entropy upon vaporization, ∆ vapS = ∆ vapH/T b, according to eq. It is reasonable to assume, however, that the increase in disorder would be very near the same. The heat absorbed by going from liquid to gaseous state varies. This can be seen by comparing the vaporization process for different non-polar substances. Neither is the reversible heat absorbed, in itself, a measure of increase in disorder. The temperature is obviously not a measure of disorder, since fusion and boiling, representing large increases in disorder, take place at constant temperature. A still larger increase in disorder occurs at the boiling point. At the melting point the substance absorbs heat at constant temperature forming a liquid far less ordered than the solid. Because of the vibrations atomic and molecular distances will fluctuate, and the crystal is more disordered. Atoms and molecules will increase their vibrations as temperature increases. Heat absorbed by the crystal leads to disorder, e.g., in form of vibrations. The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy Is equal to zero for a perfect crystal at zero Kelvin: Since there is no disorder, the entropy is assumed to be zero. A perfect crystal at zero temperature kelvin is completely ordered. We can also interpret other entropy changes in terms of disorder in molecular dimensions. Whenever there are forces between molecules or particles, the condition of maximum probability is a balance between the two tendencies above. In the ideal gas there are no forces between the molecules, therefore the condition of maximum probability is complete disorder. ![]() (4.8), ∆ fusS = (1/T∆ fusH, expresses the balance between the tendency towards disorder and the tendency towards a low potential energy. The water molecules are to some degree free to move about at random. In solid ice the water molecules are in fixed positions of an ordered lattice, while in liquid water there is much less order. An increase in entropy was found, and this means that the results of melting ice is more disorder. The entropy change upon melting of ice was studied in lesson 4, example 1. e.g When we boil a litre of water we can obtain five litres of steam which is obviously a more disordered state That is, when thermal energy is added to a system, it becomes more random, more disordered. The probability is related to order - disorder, and the entropy of a system is a measure of its randomness. The second law of thermodynamics can be expressed in terms of probability.
