I’m happy to be home.” After the worst four-year stretch in franchise history, the 16-time NBA champion Lakers are rebuilding with the point guard who led the nation with 7.7 assists per game last season a few miles up the 405 freeway with the Bruins. With preternatural court vision, a solid scoring touch and a desire to become a leader, the Los Angeles- area native had everything that his favorite team’s top brass wanted. “Guys are going to nat- urally gravitate towards someone who wants to make them better,” Lakers coach Luke Walton said. “To me, he’s the type of player that, when he’s on the floor, all four guys that are out there with him become better instantly. And that’s a quality and a trait that not many people have. The great ones all have it, and we hope that by the C M way he plays, everyone else Y K on our team becomes better.” The Lakers also don’t appear worried about attaching themselves to LaVar Ball, the voluble family patriarch with aspi- rations of building a global sports empire around his three talented sons, one $495 pair of sneakers at a time. LaVar Ball has vowed that oldest son Lonzo would end up with the Lakers for two years, claiming he could speak his dream into existence. Moments after it became a reality at the draft in New York, LaVar pulled on a purple-and-gold hat featuring the logo of his Big Baller Brand company — and then declared Lonzo will lead the Page B2 samoa news, Friday, June 23, 2017 Tyson Gay keeps sprinting in memory of 15-year-old daughter SACRAMENTO, Calif. burial, everything was unreal,” (AP) — She ran the 100 and Gay said. “It’s been eight FILE - In this May 3, 2014, file photo, Trinity Gay, a seventh-grader racing for her Scott County 200 meters — just like dad.

He was an elusive player on the field, putting fear in the eyes of the opposing team before he even set foot on the field. King KP Kyle would explode in the open field, uncatchable by any defender. Not only was he a stud running back but he also By Shawn Soucie made many key stops of defense, and some big important returns on special teams. As the snow started to fall and the falling of leaves came to an end, so did fall sports. Multiple players led the boys sports teams to successful seasons. Captains Danny Griffiths, Joey Harris, Sergy Choz, and David Herbst led the soccer team to the second round of districts for the first time in years. Captain Connor Friend helped bring the cross country team to a successful season. Captains Billy Roberts, Kyle Padeni, Michael Mercier, and AJ Brown led the football team to the Central Mass Championship game for the first time in years. There were outstanding performances by all of the boys teams this fall. One athlete this fall rose to the challenge. Despite starting the season off with an injury he followed to excel on his return scoring the only touchdown in his first game back, leading the team to victory. Saying Kyle Padeni excelled this season is an understatement. Kyle finished the year with 95 carries (Lowest in the top 15) and 1121 yards, averaging 11.8 yards per carry and 20 touchdowns (4th in Central Mass.) in only nine games.Kyle won the Central Mass Division MVP.

  • Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Software Engineering
    Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Software Engineering Twitter sentiments for high frequency trading Viktor Víðisson Instructor: Jacqueline Clare Mallett June 2021 Copyright Viktor Víðisson June 2021 Abstract Twitter has become an influential source for news which can have impact on market behaviour, with many users monitoring news agency feeds directly without editorial reviews. Headlines from central bank leaders as well as top government officials can have significant impact on the markets. In this thesis we examined whether there is any correlation between a group of tweets quoting the same headline and measurable differences in the market before and after a given headline. Can this help high frequency trading firms to tune their strategies by filtering important headlines from the vast ocean of headlines by decreasing exposure when market making? In this thesis tweets were grouped by the number of references to the headline limited to 1 hour. We compared ratios of trading measurements before and after the headline came out. We trained a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) cells telling us if the sentiment in the headline affects the US treasury futures or the SP 500 stock market future. We found that training initially on datasets that started trending after causing a noticeable initial reaction in the market helped the neural network to classify tweets as impact-full or not. Training a network that can take in a live feed from Twitter and other news agencies sources can help high frequency trading firms react automatically to incoming headlines. 2 Útdráttur Twitter er byrjað að vera áhrifamikil upptök frétta sem geta haft áhrif á markaðs hegðun þar sem margir notendur fylgjast með frétta veitum og tweeta beint án ritstýringar.
