火星仮説は、火星が月の交点から 30 度以内にあったときにダウ ジョーンズがどのように機能したかを示す 1896 年のデータを提示しています。 このデータには、1896 年以降のダウ ジョーンズの毎日のパーセンテージ変化が含まれています。この情報は、株式市場データに関して信頼できると考えられる情報源から推定され、個人的に計算されています。 パーセンテージで言えば、ダウ・ジョーンズは 1896 年以来 857% 上昇しました。 1896年以来、火星が月の交点から30度以内にあった2020年の時点で、ダウは136％上昇した。 火星が月の交点から 30 度以内になかったとき、ダウは 721% 上昇しました。 火星が月交点から 30 度以内にあったため、火星が月交点から 30 度以内にあった間の火星の逆行はデータにはカウントされませんでした。 私は、連邦準備制度が火星の動きに基づいて金利を設定できると仮定しています。 この本の目的は、連邦準備制度が火星の動きに基づいて金利を設定できるという仮説を立てることだけでなく、連邦準備制度が実際にその適用をテストできるようにするシステムをどのように定式化するのかを正確に示すことである時間。 この本には、火星の観察を利用して、インフレを制御するための戦略、金利設定の推奨事項、および 2098 年までの将来の弱気市場期間の予測日が含まれています。

There's something else at work here, however. Something meant to guide him down a road he refuses to travel-a road where love comes with a price tag too dear even for Death to pay.True, there are perks to being immortal, but no one outruns Fate.

עוד בשנת 2020, הגעתי לרעיון שהפדרל ריזרב יכול לקבוע ריביות על סמך תנועות כוכב הלכת מאדים ואז כתבתי ספר שמסביר איך זה אפשרי. בגרסאות הקודמות של הספר ההוא שכותרתו "השערת מאדים", ניסחתי אלגוריתם המבוסס על מיקומי שמש וכוכבי לכת. אבל במהלך היישום שלו על תנועות המחירים בפועל של מדד הדאו ג'ונס, הייתי רואה מתאמים, אבל פתאום נתקלתי בבעיות גדולות עם היישום שלו כשהתחילה שנת שמיטה. בגרסה המוקדמת יותר של השערת מאדים, ערכתי את התצפית הזו, אבל אז ניסיתי ליישם אלגוריתם שיוכל להסביר את תנועות מחירי הדאו ג'ונס בלי צורך לצפות בשנת שמיטה. עם זאת, עכשיו אני חושב שזה לא הוגן לְהַשְׁמִיט את היבט שנת שמיטה, במיוחד כשנראה שהוא מבטל בבירור אלגוריתמים בשנה שבה הוא מגיע. קחו בחשבון שזו לא הפעם היחידה שנתקלתי בבעיית שנת שמיטה. בכרך השני של ספר זה, שכותרתו "אלגוריתם חיזוי מניות מבוסס תורה", אני מיישם אלגוריתם אחר על הנתונים ההיסטוריים של דאו ג'ונס, תוך שימוש בתזה סולארית במקום במחקר של מאדים. אפילו ביישום של אלגוריתם על תנועות מחירי הדאו ג'ונס, מצאתי ירידה בביצועי האלגוריתם ובהחלתו למה שקרה בפועל בשוק כאשר הגיעה שנת שמיטה. זה מעלה את השאלה. האם אלגוריתמים הם יצורים חיים המצייתים לתורה? בוא נגלה. האלגוריתם שנקבע בגרסה זו של "השערת המאדים" שכותרתה כעת "השערת מאדים/שמיטה" דבק באלגוריתם הראשוני שכלל 2 פרמטרים במקביל לצפייה בשנת השמיטה. הפרמטר הראשון היה שכאשר השמש תיכנס בטווח של 30 מעלות מול צומת הירח, תחזיות תחילתו של שלב בשוק הדובים. השלב הבא של מאדים בטווח של 30 מעלות מהצומת הירחי יחזה את השפל של אותו שלב שוק הדובים, בעוד שסוף מאדים בטווח של 30 מעלות משלב הצומת הירחי יאותת על סיומו של שלב שוק הדובים החזוי. בקריאת הספר הזה תבחין עד כמה האלגוריתם הזה ישים מאוד עד לבוא שנות השמיטה. פתאום נראה שהאלגוריתם לוקח שבתון, ובכך גרם לנו לשנות את הגישה האלגוריתמית שלנו. בספר זה, כתוצאה מכך, אני שם לב לשנת השמיטה ומאוחר יותר מגבש מערכת קביעת ריבית המבוססת הן על השמש והן על מאדים ועל שנת השמיטה.

Итак, послание Евреям. Что это? Загадка? Мистика? Сборник цитат о Машиахе? Проповедь о мироздании по замыслу Всевышнего? Что изменилось для уверовавших евреев с приходом Йешуа, как связано это с накопленной веками традицией? И только ли для еврейской аудитории предназначено Послание? Все книги Писания, которые я берусь комментировать, - удивительны. И не только своим содержанием и глубоким смыслом, но и тем, насколько по-разному могут они быть прочитаны в то или иное время тем или иным человеком. Так бывает, что много раз изученное вдруг отзывается новизной для глаз и для сердца, как хорошо знакомый и привычный пейзаж, который приобретает внезапно контуры и краски, не замеченные до сих пор. Пройдите со мной по этой дороге, и если нам удастся постичь замысел автора Послания, осмыслить его в контексте и открыть для себя другое понимание, то значит всё это было не зря.

Born in turn-of-the-century Denver, Colorado, Jack Jones is a hard-traveling, heavy-drinking, crooked-gambling womanizer with an affinity for Rocky Mountain gin and the path of least resistance. In 1925, at the height of prohibition, Jack hops off a boxcar in the bustling Oklahoma oil boomtown of Tulsa after five years out wandering along the road less traveled. In search of the nearest speakeasy and some low-stakes poker, Jack stumbles across a far more lucrative opportunity when he meets bootlegging soda-jerk Joe McDunlop and his amiable Irish sidekick Shannon Todd. However, when Jack falls for the young and pretty Bertha Steele, the county sheriff's daughter, and comes face-to-face with treachery, his life of quick gains and repose quickly becomes upended, sending him upon a long, strange trip full of fifty years worth of fated misadventures in early 20th-century America. Set in Hobohemia during the same era when Jack London, Woody Guthrie, and Jack Kerouac took to the road, this classic retelling of a rake's progress provides a captivating window into a lost and forgotten time and the culture of those uncompromising devotees of freedom and wanderlust. Riddled with harrowing tales of swindles and jailbreaks, windfalls and pitfalls, Skulls & Roses examines the soul of a charismatic anti-hero while bringing to life the most-loved characters of the Grateful Dead's repertoire.
