Wymering Manor Portsmouth, England

It’s steep history and active paranormal happenings make Wymering Manor the winner of this year’s Most Spooky House award. Known as Britain’s most haunted house, the Manor is supposedly home to upwards of 18 ghosts. In fact the home, which was up for sale since 2006, was eventually given away by the City Council to the Wymering Manor Trust in 2013 since the home was seen by potential home-buyers as too haunted to inhabit.

Wymering Manor is the oldest building in Portsmouth. The land that it was built on was once the site of an ancient Roman settlement. The original building was eventually built in 1048 when it was owned by King Edward the Confessor. In 1084 the home was owned by King William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings. During the 16th century the house underwent new construction. Although most of the Manor today dates back to the 16th century, there are still parts that feature its original Saxon and Roman materials. In more recent times, the home was turned into a country house, used by the army during WWII, and served as a YHA Hostel.

With all of its history, it is perhaps of little surprise that the home is extremely haunted. There have been countless reports of hauntings, as well as numerous legends surrounding the building, over the years. During the early 1900’s the owner of the time, Thomas Parr, woke up one night to see his deceased cousin’s spirit standing at the foot of his bed. After talking to Thomas about other members of the family, who were also deceased, she told him goodbye. Before fading away she said that the deceased family was getting ready to “greet their Aunt Em.” The next morning Parr received a telegram stating that his Aunt Em had died during the night.

Another relative of Thomas Parr who visited the manor used to keep her bedroom door locked at night while she slept due to a fear of burglar’s. Upon waking up one morning she was astonished to see that her door was unlocked and wide open.

Then next owner, Leonard Metcalf, had several strange occurrences while he lived at the Manor. Metcalf’s room used to be in the “Paneled Room,” which is one of the homes most feared rooms. One day while Metcalf was using the washbasin, he felt a hand place itself upon his shoulder. Quickly turning, he was shocked to find that no one was standing there. Others who have visited the home have felt that the atmosphere is oppressive. Many people felt fear surrounding the room, and had a powerful urge to run out of its doors.

Other than his experience in the Paneled Room, Leonard Metcalf would also occasionally see a choir of nuns crossing the Manor’s hall at midnight. Each of the nuns would be chanting to music that could clearly be heard. Leonard could never understand why he would see the nuns, and he could never get his family to believe him. Although he never knew it, it was eventually discovered that the Sisterhood of Saint Mary the Virgin had visited the house in the mid-1800s.

The ghostly choir of nuns is not the only nun sightings in the home. Outside of the Manor’s small attic bedroom, directly above the Paneled Room, the spirit of a nun with hands dripping with blood can be seen peering down the staircase leading to the attic. Some believe that the attic was where abortions for illegal pregnancies between monks and nuns were held before the infant bodies were later buried in the garden.

Another spirit seen at Wymering Manor is that of Sir Francis Austen, a distinguished Naval officer and brother of the famous novelist, Jane Austen. He was at one point the churchwarden of St. Peter and St. Paul, so he may have visited the Manor when the manor was a vicarage. After his passing, he was buried in a nearby churchyard of the Wymering Manor Church. Now it is believed that he haunts Wymering. One paranormal investigation group caught the figure of a tall man walking around whom they believed to be Sir Francis Austen.

The Legend of Reckless Roddy also surrounds Wymering Manor. According to legend, during the Middle Ages a newlywed couple came to the Manor. However, the husband was soon called away and the bride was left alone. Upon hearing this, Sir Roderick of Portchester, AKA Reckless Roddy, went to Wymering to try and seduce the young woman. The husband then returned home unexpectedly, chased Roddy out of the house, and killed him as he attempted to mount his horse. Now legend states that whenever a newly married couple comes to stay at the Manor, they will hear the sound of Reckless Roddy’s Horse galloping down the Lane. Despite not being aware of the legend, Leonard Metcalf and his new wife, sometime right after their marriage, were awakened by the sound of a horse galloping down the lane. Mr. E. Jones, the warden of the youth hostel, also reported hearing a horse galloping around the manor at night, although he was not newly married.

Finally, other than specific spirits inhabiting the home, both visitors and paranormal investigators have felt cold spots, heard disembodied voices, a piano playing, a baby crying, and sounds of children laughing. Apparitions of men and women can be seen descending the manor’s staircases, and poltergeist activity has also been reported.

Vamos falar sobre o Sr. Monk?

Instagram // Facebook // Twitter

Vasculhando algumas séries com o meu namorado, encontramos Monk, então ele comentou que, há muito tempo, seu pai costumava assistir e dizer que era muito boa a série.

Nos entreolhamos e, por que não começar uma série nova, certo? Afinal, nem temos séries em andamento e estamos no aguardo de novas temporadas de outras (#sarcasm).

Monk foi uma série de comédia com um pequeno toque de drama/suspense, do canal USA Network, durante os anos 2002 e 2009. Ao todo foram 8 temporadas, 215 episódios, cada um com 40 minutos de duração.

A série é focada no ex detetive Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) que sofre de TOC e algumas milhões de fobias estranhas. Sim, estranhas mesmo! Como medo de leite, por exemplo. Enfim, ele era casado com Trudy e, após ela morrer em uma explosão, o cara teve um colapso nervoso, o que o obrigou a ser afastado da polícia e chegando ao ponto de ficar quase três anos trancado dentro de casa.

Com a ajuda de Sharona (Bitty Schram), ele acaba saindo de casa e retomando sua vida normal, isso é, se podemos chamá-lo de normal.

Monk acaba se tornando uma espécie de ajuda à polícia de São Francisco, já que o Capitão Leland (Ted Levine) e o Tenente Randy (Jason Gray-Standford) nunca resolvem um caso sem antes pedir ajuda ao detetive e, assim, aos poucos, ele vai sendo reintegrado.

Como ja falei, Monk é cheio das manias e, ao mesmo tempo que essas manias o tornem um cara difícil, também são elas que o fazem ser atencioso a detalhes que quase ninguém repara, como sua facilidade de fazer conexões sobre gestos de pessoas envolvidas em um crime, ou características. Apesar de cada episódio tratar de uma investigação diferente, a série tem como maior guia a investigação de Adrian sobre a morte de Trudy.

Ah, essa é a cara que ele faz quando, do nada, resolve um caso todo na sua cabeça.

Após ter ganhado um Globo de Ouro, Bitty Schram pediu um salário mais adequado e foi cortada da série, saindo na metade da terceira temporada e sendo substituída pela atriz Taylor Howard, que veio como Natalie, a nova enfermeira de Adrian. Mas Bitty ainda aparece em um episódio, quando Sharona retorna para seu novo emprego depois que seu marido é preso por assassinato, deste modo, cria um conflito com Natalie.

Curiosidades:

Na primeira temporada, a música de abertura era apenas instrumental e ganhou o Emmy 2003 como melhor música-tema, mas a segunda temporada veio com outra música de abertura, It's a Jungle Out There, o que fez vários fãs e críticos ficarem frustrados.

Vários atores especiais apareceram como convidados ao longo das temporadas, como Brooke Adams, Jason Alexander, Sean Astin, Danny Bonaduce, James Brolin, Brooke Burke, Dan Butler, Rosalind Chao, Enrico Colantoni, Alice Cooper, Brett Cullen, Tim Curry, Tim Daly, Charles Durning, Carmen Electra, Fred Ewanuick, Jon Favreau, Willie Garson, Joy Giovanni, Bob Gunton, Dan Hedaya, Korn, Brooke Langton, Chi McBride, Andrew McCarthy, Malcolm McDowell, Laurie Metcalf, Larry Miller, Glenn Morshower, Charles Napier, Kevin Nealon, Willie Nelson, Judge Reinhold, Andy Richter, Amy Sedaris, Sarah Silverman, Nicole Sullivan, Holland Taylor, Danny Trejo, Stanley Tucci, Steven Weber, Mykelti Williamson, Rainn Wilson, Janet Wright, Alfred Molina, Snoop Dogg e vários outros!

Além de uma série de DVDs, a série Monk contém também um CD com a trilha sonora.

Os personagens Capitão Leland Stottlemeyer e o Tenente Randal Disher (chamado Randall Deacon no episódio piloto) têm a mesma função em Monk que o inspetor Lestrade nas histórias de Sherlock Holmes. Esta ligação pode ter inspirado o nome dos personagens: pegando as duas primeiras letras de cada nome em ordem - LE de "Leland", ST de "Stottlemeyer", RA de 'Randall" e DE de "Deacon" - juntas formam o nome do inspetor, LESTRADE.

Monk já apresentou 38 fobias diferentes, entre elas Afefobia (medo de ser tocado); Ofidiofobia (medo de cobras); ataxofobia (medo de bagunça); misofobia (medo de germes); lactofobia (medo de leite) entre outras.

Vou parando por aqui, porque também sou conhecida como spoiler ambulante, então, antes que eu comece a soltar o que não devo, a dica é: se você quer assistir a série, tem no Net Now, aquele aplicativo para os assinantes NET, caso contrário, é bem fácil de encontrar dublada ou legendada na internet.

Bitcoin: Time Compression, Causation And Feedback Loops – Bitcoin USD (Cryptocurrency:BTC-USD)

Time Compression

I have presented my case for the point of view that Bitcoin (BTC-USD)(COIN)(OTCQX:GBTC) is a log scale phenomenon many times. However, if this happens to be your first time reading one of my articles, or any article on Bitcoin for that matter, consider the charts below.

Source: Blockchain.com and author’s charts

Here’s the hash power of the Bitcoin network in linear scale. Not very meaningful, is it? But when we flip the Y-axis to log scale…

Source: Blockchain.com and author’s charts

That’s better, isn’t it? Look at all the information that we just couldn’t see before, like what happened in 2011 and 2014. For the sake of my regular readers, we’ll move on from this topic which I feel like I may have beat to death.

However, further examination has shown that there may still be some life left in this log-scale horse. So, today we’re going to talk about an interesting stat that we can pull from the Bitcoin network, total transactions.

What are total transactions?

When you hear me talk about total transactions, I’m referring to the running total of all Bitcoin transactions that have ever been transmitted and confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain. This number cannot go down, because it’s a running count. If there are 10 transactions sent per day, then the number grows by tens. If there are thousands, then it grows by thousands. But, if the number stops growing, then Bitcoin is actually dead.

Now then, since the total transaction count can tell us if Bitcoin is still alive, and we know that it grows faster as the frequency of transactions increases (and slower if they decrease, of course), I have suggested that there are two novel uses for this piece of data.

It can be used as a proxy for time. The more transactions are broadcast, the “older” Bitcoin is.

It acts like a sort of trend line, from which we can gauge the disparity between the current epoch and the price.

An inquisitive follower on Twitter (TWTR) noted that since Bitcoin’s price has tended to increase over time, you could find a positive correlation with anything else that increases over time:

This is true and a valid concern. However, I believe we can do better than simply snapping a trend line on a data set over time. Let me show you what I mean.

Source: Blockchain.com and author’s charts

You’ve probably seen this chart before. But, there’s another thing you may not have noticed. This chart has a Y-axis in log scale, and yet the X-axis is in constant time, which is linear scale. Do you see how the chart seems to curve off to the right? The data is actually following a log curve in log scale. What does this mean? See the chart below for a helpful illustration of this curve.

Source: Awe and Wonder via Medium

Is there in fact a way to look at the X-axis in log scale? And if there was a way, is it useful or any better?

I have good news, there is a way and I think it’s very useful for a number of reasons. Do you remember how I said the total transactions could be a proxy for time? Let’s put those on the X-axis and the price on the Y-axis, just for kicks.

Source: Blockchain.com and author’s charts

The total transactions here are set to display in log scale, and notice that the chart is now more of a straight line, rather than a logarithmic curve? Now, scroll back up to the price chart that I posted above (the one with the white background) with time as the X-axis. Do you notice something else that’s peculiar? I’ll give you a hint, the chart gets compressed as you move forward in time.

Bitcoin is not just getting bigger, it’s getting faster as it grows too. Measuring this in linear scale time forces you to do one of two things, draw a curve like Awe & Wonder has done, or compress time as well if you want to run a linear regression model. I have chosen the latter here, and to check that this relationship is actually stronger, I did a little test.

I ran a regression analysis on the log price over linear time, and then compared that to the log price over log total transactions. The results confirmed my suspicions.

Log Price / Time Log Price / Log Transaction Count R2 0.866 0.922

This may not seem like a huge difference, but if my theory is correct, the log/log relationship will strengthen over time while the log/linear time relationship grows steadily weaker. (You can’t very well fit a linear trend line to curved data.)

So, time is speeding up?

Exactly! But this shouldn’t really surprise you, since every year we produce more data than the year before, and computers have been increasing in price/performance exponentially for more than 100 years. It’s almost like we’re being sucked into a technological singularity…

Causation

One of the things that I hear the most is, “your models don’t prove causation.” Thanks for that. In fact, I can guarantee that someone reading this will post exactly that in the comment section. Yes, for the millionth time, correlation does not imply causation. However, I contend that there is much more subtlety in the world than we realize.

For example, just the other day I posted an article that validated some of my underlying assumptions about the Bitcoin price. Specifically, we used nonparametric statistics to show that there was a relationship between the Bitcoin price and the network statistics (daily transactions, unique addresses and such).

A chart that I created from this process was based on the ranking of these statistics from high to low. You may remember this chart:

Source: Hans Hauge via Seeking Alpha

I really liked this chart, so I imported it into my new charting library. When I did that, I noticed several things. See below:

Source: Blockchain.com and author’s charts

First of all, you may have noticed that there seems to be a giant cluster of points near the bottom right of the graph. Second, you may have noticed that the green and red dots seem to change direction since around the start of 2018. Both these things can be explained by the simple fact that my data set contains points from every 48 hours from 2009 up until 2017. Starting around the end of 2017, I have data points every 24 hours. So, that means there’s twice as many points this year, which drags the “tip of the spear” down. For now, I plan to leave this as-is. But, at some point in the future, I may make an adjustment to account for this disparity.

The third thing I noticed was that there’s no purple in the top left. Why is that? Well, normally my charts don’t go back to 2009, because I’m looking at the price, and there simply wasn’t one back then. But, that raises a new question. Let’s zoom in on the top left quadrant of the chart.

Source: Blockchain.com and author’s charts

I have conveniently placed my mouse over the first point in time where we have a price for Bitcoin (according to blockchain.com). That date was August 18th, 2010. The question I have for you is this: “why did the number of daily transactions, hash power, unique addresses in use, and the running count of all Bitcoin transactions increase between January of 2009, and August of 2010?”

It’s a simple question. So, what’s your answer? The Bitcoin network grew steadily for 20 months before there was a price, why? We’ve beat the living heck out of the causation horse, haven’t we? The growth of the network couldn’t possibly drive the price, could it?

Stranger things have happened. After all, Metcalfe’s Law was used to successfully predict the revenue of Facebook (FB) and Tencent (OTCPK:TCTZF)(OTCPK:TCEHY). Perhaps the value does come from the network?

Source: Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2015

Feedback Loops

Have you ever been at a concert, and the musician got the microphone too close to the speakers? What happened? If you’ve ever had that terrible experience then you know what I’m talking about. The sound coming out of the speakers goes back into the microphone, which goes back into the speakers. No sooner does this happen then that original noise (usually a high pitch squeal) comes back out of the speakers louder than it was the first time. This sound gets louder and louder until someone turns off the sound system, or the microphone gets repositioned, or everyone’s heads simultaneously explode.

So, what caused the feedback? Was it the microphone or the speaker? If you said “actually, feedback is a system; it’s not caused by one or the other, both the speaker, the microphone and a certain combination of settings and positioning are required to create the feedback loop,” then you’d be 100% correct!

The Zen monks picked up on this ages ago when they asked “does the fish move the water, or does the water move the fish?” Likewise, with Bitcoin, I think the only rational way to understand Bitcoin’s price action is as a part of a system. Let’s return to the topic of the miners and the price for a moment.

The Bitcoin Miner-Price Feedback Loop

Source: author’s diagrams

One of the pillars of Bitcoin’s security comes from the huge amount of hash power of the network and the globally distributed mining network. These miners are incentivized to mine Bitcoin and to act in the best interest of the network. As they do this, the system gets more robust, which raises confidence, and attracts more users. Since we know that there are a limited number of Bitcoin that can ever exist, an increase in the user base pushes up the price, which in turn attracts more miners.

Conclusion

I hope that I have challenged you to think in new ways about Bitcoin. Is it always proper to think in linear scale time when Bitcoin is a logarithmic phenomenon? Is the Bitcoin price action the cause of the network’s growth, and the sole determinant of the hash power? Or, is the price simply a piece of the puzzle that we can come to understand and model by studying and understanding the system itself?

Cheers,

Hans
