If you live in Koramangala and/or want to be part of a remarkable political experiment, read on. Inspired by the example of Adolf D'Souza's election as an independent citizen councilor, Smartvote is attempting to bubble up a citizen candidate for the upcoming BBMP election in Koramangala. I've explained the process in my post on praja. This movement requires a lot of help in co-ordination and campaigning. Please do reach out to the folks mentioned in the poster if you want to help out.
I happened to go on the door-to-door campaigning once and it was eye opening. Firstly it was very uplifting to watch how active resident associations are in Koramangala. While each of these groups have done very good work in their own isolated turfs, this campaign is networking them, and making them huge pressure groups that politicians can't afford to ignore. In places like the 3rd block, everybody seems to know everybody else, something that you hardly see in Bengaluru these days. Surprisingly, everybody is informed about and geared up for the local elections too. I'm convinced that there are models in play here that can solve the upper middle class apathy and resignation that plague most other constituencies. While every educated person is talking about how useless it is to vote, it's a pleasure to meet all those passionate people putting in that much effort and time to solve a problem that, by most people's estimation, is unsolva

First, we simulate gamblers that follow Martingale strategies in a Crash sport. Starting from a minimum guess of 1, we multiply wagers by a ratio γ each time the gamblers lose one spherical and return to the minimum guess each time they win. Once the wager reaches a preset most guess 토토사이트 value 10000, we reset the gambler with a minimum guess. MSD obtained from 10 billion particular person simulations is shown in Fig.eight. Different curves correspond to totally different exponents in odds distribution. We can see that the MSD initially presents an exponential-like growth, before the growths scale back to a linear perform.
