Why We Can’t Remember the Future. +Enlarge image Why can we remember the past but not the future? It might seem like a bizarre question, but it’s not obvious why our psychological “arrow of time” should move in the same direction as that dictated by the second law of thermodynamics, which implies that events unfold in the direction that increases net entropy. A report in Physical Review E suggests that these two arrows of time are forced to coincide by the constraints on what it actually means to remember something. The fundamental laws of physics are symmetrical in time: in Newtonian classical mechanics time is in principle reversible, and in general relativity it is just a coordinate much like those of space.
Given the positions and velocities of a classical system of interacting particles, the past and future can in principle each be completely calculated from the laws of physics. So predictions of the future are just as accurate as descriptions of the past—they are equally “knowable” based on the present. –Philip Ball. Technical analysis. History[edit] The principles of technical analysis are derived from hundreds of years of financial market data.[7] Some aspects of technical analysis began to appear in Joseph de la Vega's accounts of the Dutch markets in the 17th century. In Asia, technical analysis is said to be a method developed by Homma Munehisa during early 18th century which evolved into the use of candlestick techniques, and is today a technical analysis charting tool.[8][9] In the 1920s and 1930s Richard W. Schabacker published several books which continued the work of Charles Dow and William Peter Hamilton in their books Stock Market Theory and Practice and Technical Market Analysis.
In 1948 Robert D. Edwards and John Magee published Technical Analysis of Stock Trends which is widely considered to be one of the seminal works of the discipline. General description[edit] Fundamental analysts examine earnings, dividends, new products, research and the like. There are many techniques in technical analysis. Investment Management and Technical Research for Professional and Institutional Investors. The Elliott Wave Theory Ralph Nelson Elliott (1871-1948) had been an accountant by profession. He retired in 1927 after contracting a serious illness and spent the next several years at his home in California. It was during his long period of convalescence that he developed his theory of stock market behaviour. He apparently was much influenced by the Dow Theory, which has a lot in common with his wave principle. Elliott and Dow, both refer to the tide cycles of the sea and compared the rhythm of the waves to the price fluctuation in the stock market. Two years before his death, in 1946, Elliott wrote his definitive work about his research and entitled it "Nature's law-the secret of the Universe".
There are three basic aspects of the theory - wave pattern, ratio and time (in that order of importance). Since computers record every price change of a specific market, the described five wave sequences can even be detected in intra-day moves lasting less than one hour. The geometry of phi 1.

Bee pollen benefits rank as one of our top 10 superfoods and are one of our personal favorite power packed protein sources to add to shakes, smoothies and raw desserts. What is Bee Pollen? Essentially, is the male seed of flowers collected by our buzzing bee friends, the master pollinators of the earth! Millions of individual, high quality, golden granules are extracted from flowers by bees and joined together with a dab of honey they bring from the hive to create these small pollen pellets.
A mixture of different pollens are used by the bees to provide a rich and balanced diet for the colony. Research has shown that one pound of pollen usually supplies 4,500 bees for one year. The bees join the grains together with honey, along with their own digestive enzymes. They are brought back to the entrance of the hive where the collection trap is located.

A metasearch engine is a search tool[1][2] that sends user requests to several other search engines and/or databases and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source. Metasearch engines enable users to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously. Metasearch engines operate on the premise that the Web is too large for any one search engine to index it all and that more comprehensive search results can be obtained by combining the results from several search engines. This also may save the user from having to use multiple search engines separately. The process of fusion also improves the search results.[3] The term "metasearch" is frequently used to classify a set of commercial search engines, see the list of Metasearch engine, but is also used to describe the paradigm of searching multiple data sources in real time.

Advertisement Having a comprehensive data report about your website is like having a Rosetta Stone to guide your decision-making process over the lifetime of the website. A powerful report combines data gathered from a variety of sources, including observation of and interviews with users, and analysis of the website’s analytics. Assembling this information into one place will help you to make effective design decisions and determine key priorities and will strengthen your position when working with stakeholders.
The goal is to put the key insights from your research of a website into a single document. The report would consolidate the most important discoveries from a variety of research techniques and would help you to identify trends. These trends would provide a more accurate view of your website than one research method alone could provide. We’ll create a data report for our fictional Widgets website.

Advertisement Planning user experience (UX) projects is a balancing act of getting the right amount of user input within the constraints of your project. The trick is to work out the best use of your time. How can you get the most UX goodness for your client’s budget? This article explains how to choose the right mix of tools for the task at hand.
Getting Started With UX Planning The planning phase is all about understanding what you have been asked to do and working out the best combination of activities that will give you the outcome you need, within the time, budgetary and resource constraints of the project. It is your job as a UX professional to deliver the best user experience within the time and budget available. The planning of projects may take place when you are writing a proposal to do work that is yet to start as well as at the beginning of a “live” project. In many ways the planning of UX projects can become a design challenge in its own right. Choosing UX Tools & Techniques. Logic and Mathematics. Stephen G. Simpson Department of Mathematics April 30, 1999 Pennsylvania State University This article is an overview of logic and the philosophy of mathematics.
Contents Logic is the science of formal principles of reasoning or correct inference. One may ask whether logic is part of philosophy or independent of it. Logic is the science of correct reasoning. For example, consider the following inference: This inference is logically correct, because the conclusion ``some real estate is a good investment'' necessarily follows once we accept the premises ``some real estate will increase in value'' and ``anything that will increase in value is a good investment''.
We shall now briefly indicate the basics of Aristotelean logic. Aristotelean logic Aristotle's collection of logical treatises is known as the Organon. Subjects and predicates Aristotelean logic begins with the familiar grammatical distinction between subject and predicate. The fundamental principles of predication are: Identity. Here is all. Euclid of Megara. Euclid of Megara (/ˈjuːklɪd/; also Euclides, Eucleides; Greek: Εὐκλείδης; c. 435 – c. 365 BCE[1]) was a Greek Socratic philosopher who founded the Megarian school of philosophy. He was a pupil of Socrates in the late 5th century BCE, and was present at his death. He held the supreme good to be one, eternal and unchangeable, and denied the existence of anything contrary to the good.
Editors and translators in the Middle Ages often confused him with Euclid of Alexandria when discussing the latter's Elements. Life[edit] In Megara, Euclid founded a school of philosophy which became known as the Megarian school, and which flourished for about a century. Philosophy[edit] Euclid of Megara Dressing as a Woman to Hear Socrates Teach in Athens, by Domenico Marolì, c. 1650 Euclid himself wrote six dialogues — the Lamprias, the Aeschines, the Phoenix, the Crito, the Alcibiades, and the Amatory dialogue — but none survive.
Euclid was also interested in concepts and dilemmas of logic. See also[edit] Screaming Frog Guide to Doing Almost Anything.
