Can You Alter Your Memory? Easy memory techniques. The House Tour Method of memorisation is something that I learned about several years ago, and is a small part of what Derren Brown calls the Loci System. As I mentioned in the orange box above, you really do need to have got to grips with the Linking - or Chain - system, and its visualisation techniques.

April 6, 2007 -- Too Many Old Memories Can It Hard To Make New Memories I often picture my brain as a dysfunctional office where the neurosecretaries are not exactly shining beacons of efficiency. There’s papers strewn all over the place, files heaped in teetering stacks, and no one ever sorts through the stuff…there’s so much useless information I can never find what I’m looking for. Turns out that picture might not be so farfetched. Researchers at Columbia University have found that having too many memories cluttering your brain can actually make it harder to remember new things…like where you left your car keys.

Your rating: None Average: 4 (1 vote) The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While chronos refers to the time of physics or linear-sequential time (such as that of the clock "alarming" you out of bed in the morning), kairos refers to a moment or period of undetermined time in which something meaningful happens (of course only you can determine what is meaningful to you!). Let's just say that chronos is 'physical' or 'clock' time, and kairos is 'metaphysical time' that transcends the limitations of time and space as we know it. So before you begin wondering how this has anything to do with you, your life, or your business, let me say that as a super busy soul-preneur, I have learned to tune into kairos time as a potent way of leveraging the same 24 hour day we all have, to create more breathing space for my spirit and soul.

Author's Bio: 0:00 Dynamosaics: Video Mosaics with Non-Chronological Time. The manipulations of time in video editing, which enable to control the chronological time of events, are explored. These time manipulations include slowing down (or postponing) some activities while speeding up (or advancing) other activities. When a video camera scans a scene, aligning all the activities to a single time interval will result in a panoramic movie. Time manipulations are obtained by first constructing an aligned space-time volume from the input video, and then sweeping a continuous 2D slice (time front) through that volume, generating a new sequence of images. For dynamic scenes, aligning the input video frames poses an important challenge. 10 Useful Google Chrome Extensions to Help You Stay Focus And Be More Efficent.

Barter economies have been in practice throughout history, but the idea of using time as a unit of exchange only appeared shortly after the Industrial Revolution. The origins of time-based currency can be traced both to the American anarchist Josiah Warren, who ran the Cincinnati Time Store from 1827 until 1830, and to the British industrialist and philanthropist Robert Owen, who founded the utopian "New Harmony" community. While both systems are based on the principles of mutualism and the labor theory of value, Josiah Warren's currency was explicitly pegged to time as a measure of specific goods or labor.
For example, 3 hours of carpenter's work would be considered equivalent to 3-12 pounds of corn. Meanwhile, Robert Owen's currency simply bore an inscription referring to a number of hours, which presumably could be exchanged for however many pounds of corn a farmer would deem adequate or labor of any kind. 0:01 Why You Must Respect Your Energy Like a Bank Account.
