Do Markets “React” to Economic News? Monday, September 16th, 2013 One doesn’t have to be a strict methodological individualist to appreciate that collectives don’t think, act, and choose. Yet one of the standard tropes of financial journalism is the idea that the stock market, like your broker or your Aunt Sally, “reacts” to this or that bit of economic news. Of course, this is all pure invention on the part of the reporter. But the stock market as a whole doesn’t work this way. So please, can we stop taking such pronouncements seriously?
List of memory biases In psychology and cognitive science, a memory bias is a cognitive bias that either enhances or impairs the recall of a memory (either the chances that the memory will be recalled at all, or the amount of time it takes for it to be recalled, or both), or that alters the content of a reported memory. There are many different types of memory biases, including: See also[edit] [edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c d e Schacter, Daniel L. (1999).

Low Density Errors, is There an Answer? - Page 4 Quote: Centuries old capital?? You should pick up a history book. In the early 1800s Helsinki was a shitty town of a few thousand people. There were no stone buildings in the city. Next to Helsinki Manchester was fucking Babylon. You don't seem to know the history of your own country as I in my last post explained why British cities look the way they do and that it should be corrected now. You know I'm right and that bugs you. Small? Indeed. It is not denser, but if you think it's grander than good for you. Helsinki was modelled after continental cities. Add to that the very unique nationalist Jugend stil, 30s functionalism and later modernism. Btw, ever heard of Alvar Aalto? In two centuries Helsinki has made it from a poor, muddy and backwards shanty town into one of the most livable cities in the world. London is vast and has a big dense city centre. I know, but that was not the point. Really? You keep comparing London to Barcelona. We aren't discussing city centres here. Indeed.
Go Fund Yourself: Sam Phillips Talks About Subscriptions, Crowdfunding, And Why We Still Need Corporations "It's easy to change your name but hard to change your life," sings Sam Phillips in the song "Pretty Time Bomb," one of 10 slices of hard fought wisdom from her just released album, Push Any Button. And Phillips should know a thing or two about change, her career path is a textbook story of change and reinvention, factors she has continued to embrace since was signed to Christen label Myrrh in 1983, under her given name, Leslie Phillips. Since then, she has skittered along from major labels to indie labels before arriving at her present status as a self-sustaining hands-on artist with no outside label support. "It's a good place to be," Phillips proclaims over the phone from her Los Angeles home, "or at least a place to try and get to, it's more of a goal!" In 1987, two major changes occurred; she met T Bone Burnett and began recording as Sam Phillips to delineate her split with the Christian pop industry.

Slashdot : les choses qui comptent La finance islamique est-elle vraiment si différente ? Les stéréotypes sur la finance islamique sont légion. Pourtant, il s'agit une finance qui se veut ouverte à tous les acteurs. La doctrine musulmane, de même que la philosophie libérale, incite à l'entrepreneuriat, au commerce, et encourage le profit. Cet article est publié avec l'aimable autorisation de l'auteur. La finance islamique est née et s’est développée dans les pays musulmans du Golfe et de l’Asie du Sud-Est depuis près de 40 ans. 1. Cette articulation particulière entre finance et religion qui caractérise la finance islamique est à l’origine du développement de produits spécifiques.

What Old Family Photo Albums Teach Us About Creativity Once upon a time, the average life was documented in about eight or nine photo albums. For some people now, that same number of photos might equal a week's worth of Instagrams. The old-fashioned family album is a dying art form that Erik Kessels--artist, designer, photographer, and founder of agency KesselsKramer--aims to translate for a 21st Century audience with his exhibition "Album Beauty," now showing at Les Rencontres d’Arles in France. "Creativity in general doesn't come from perfection, it comes more from imperfection." After years of combing flea markets for discarded family albums from decades past, the taps are running dry as the transition to digitize our lives continues. Visitors are meant to feel as though they're walking through a photo album, with enlarged photos from Kessels collection, interactive albums, and other photo props used to bring the original photos to life. These anonymous momentos inspire Kessels for a number of reasons.
Accueil - LinuxFr.org tätä en tietänyt « maailmanmenoa vapaassa maailmassa… Kalifornian viimeisissä vaaleissa marraskuun 2, 2010 yksi äänestyksen kohde oli Ehdotus 19 (Proposition 19) joka olisi tehnyt kannabiksen käytön tietyissä rajoissa lailliseksi ja verotettavaksi kaupalliseksi toiminnaksi. Ehdotus 19 ei mennyt läpi -54% äänesti sitä vastaan ja 46% sen puolesta. Olin yllättynyt vaalituloksesta -miksi posket lommolla pilveä imevä jengi ei kannata omia elintapojaan? Kannabis ja kannabiksen käyttö on ja pysyy edelleen tiukasti laittomana Kaliforniassa. Paitsi että lääkekannabis (lähde 1) joko on laillista tai sitten ei. Lähtemättä filosofoimaan asiaa sen pitemmälle minusta on aika selvää ja jos en ole ihan väärin ymmärtänyt , niin kannabis on joillekin tyypeille hyvä lääke (lähde 4). Minua on jo pitempään ihmetyttänyt tämä Vapaan Maailman jengin kannabissirkus. Yhden kaverini pisnes on mennyt täysin perseelleen ja jannu miettii nyt mistä hän saisi nyt revittyä itselleen leipää. Tutkivaa tsuurnalismia. Yrttien lääketieteellinen keskus? Mitä tästä opimme?
