A technician explains measurements whilst a scientist explains observations.

The use of the word "illusion" when discussing time and consciousness.

Illusions are experiences that do not correspond to events in the world beyond the nervous system.

In philosophy and neuroscience the word "illusion" is often used incorrectly to dismiss the apparently inexplicable. Here is an example:

"Our sense of now can be viewed as a psychological illusion based on the past and a prediction of the near future" David Melcher, quoted in New Scientist 10/1/2015

There is no "illusion" in the experience of events over a short period of time if these events occurred in the world outside the brain in the sequence in which they were observed. In fact all events are perceived over a period of time, as an example, this text must be viewed for much more than a nanosecond and persist in our experience for much more than a nanosecond to become part of our experience. Either the word "illusion" is being reserved by Melcher to describe events that change over time or he is describing all experience as an illusion and this is self evidently contrary to the definition of the word "illusion".

Why do some authors use the word "illusion" when discussing changing events? It is because there is a fallacious argument about experience containing temporal extension that is widely accepted. This argument says that:

 "Can we perceive a relation between two events without also perceiving the events themselves? If not, then it seems we perceive both events as present, in which case we must perceive them as simultaneous, and so not as successive after all." Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The Experience and Perception of Time.

The argument is a fallacy because it relies on the Alexandrian notion of time, not modern space time geometry. Our experience contains temporally extended events in the same way as it contains spatially extended events: they are projected from a virtual geometric point. If you do not believe me just look at this page. If you are interested in spatio-temporal projection (experience) then read the articles on this website.

It has been found that nearly all illusions seem to involve events in the brain that correspond to the illusory experience - in the same way as all sensory events that find their way into experience involve events in the brain. In this sense all illusions are real.  The profound mystery is how the events form the spatio-temporal projection called "conscious experience".

    How To Nicola Delic's Inner Circle Opinion For Forex Master Levels is the latest Forex trading system created by full time professional trader Nicola Delic. I especially liked the book Follow Price Action Trends - Forex Trading System”. Forex duality is the right platform for the people who are willing to start trading in the forex field. Forex Duality is a one-time investment but would be worth every penny of doubt, Forex trading is indeed a very profitable business but Forex Duality is the ultimate path to guide you through the journey. More interestingly, traders can receive free daily reports and analysis too. Forex trading requires training and strategy, but can be beneficial for individuals looking to trade currencies.

    Dukascopy Bank again held its first-place position year-over-year, as its JForex Trader app enables traders to run algorithms straight from their smartphones, which is an industry first. ND10X only requires a one-time investment from you to boost your income by getting rid of brokers and trading yourself. 73% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. Forex trading involves leverages up to 300:1, which means you can trade for amounts up to $30,000 with just $100 in your account.

    Below we'll outline the core principles required to making it as a forex trader. Firstly, it is important to figure out if being a forex trader is for you. As it is a trend based strategy, it signals at the right starting point of a trend and also defines the end of a momentum in advance. To be a better price action trading, you need to have a solid understanding of how price action theory and how to trade it in real-time. Forex trading bears intrinsic risks of loss. I will share with you everything I have learned over the last 15 years and every secret I learned working with some of the best traders in the world.

    We like that the system claims to be good for all skill levels of Forex traders. All forms of trading carry a high level of risk so you should only speculate with money you can afford to lose. Hi, I'm Nicola Delic and today, I am inviting you to my Inner Circle. Thus, beginners to Forex trading may not have too much difficulties in learning the craft. By existence part of tradeology-forex dichotomy, you stand a chance to benefit from so many things. Just like any other form of speculation, you want to buy a currency at one price and sell it at higher price (or sell a currency at one price and buy it at a lower price) in order to make a profit.

    Misuse of leverage is one of the reasons why forex traders lose money. Margin allows you to trade with leverage, which, in turn, allows you to place trades larger than the amount of your trading capital. Avanceon Limited receives award at OSI-SOFT technology conference in Bangkok, in appreciation of presenting report on Efficiency Improvement By Real-Time Performance Monitoring System In Power Generation”. Fundamental traders simply wait for inflation data and trade accordingly. In my experience, there are less quality” set-ups that can give high probability or at least qualify the risk-reward requirement, you need to wait and wait even longer, so with that, you cannot expect to have 100 trades in a month or not even 50, unless you will gamble all levels in the markets (which doesnt make any sense).

    Here is brief on a few major risks one should be wary of while trading currency pairs. The Forex market is often referred to as the most unpredictable, yet profitable one in the financial industry. It's every trader's dream to get out of the 9-5 grind someday without sacrificing the family's financial security. In this case, you would need to ensure that any potential broker has minimum distance between the market price and your stop-loss and take-profit. Statistics show that most aspiring forex traders fail, and some even lose large amounts of money. https://www.reviewengin.com/infinite-profit-system-review/

  3. If you're new to selling online, and you're still deciding what business to start , you can use affiliate marketing to test your ideas and find your ideal customer base. Affiliate marketing is probably one of the quickest and cheapest (not the easiest) ways to start making money online as you don't have to create any products yourself. This is a terrible mistake for customer retention To increase sales volume online, make sure you have a thoughtful, considerate, genuinely useful follow-up procedure in place for new customers. In other words, a brand needs to sell its own affiliate program to affiliates as if it were a product on its own. India's top e-commerce portal Indiatimes Shopping has launched its affiliate marketing programme in an exclusive partnership with Shoogloo Network, powered by OMG (UK).

    ShareASale - WP Engine, StudioPress, WP Rocket, 34,000+ programs total Easy to get approved, create links, track stats, with a wide range of affiliates. Influencer marketing is a huge online business trend right now that you can capitalize on. Try your hand at Vlogging and starting a Podcast which are under-utilized channels of communication for influencers right now. If you are teaching people how to get fit, create content showing how you use product and how it has helped you. Now that you know how affiliate marketing works, you can brainstorm ways to become a better affiliate partner for the companies you promote. Guest speaker James Wedmore weighs in on tactics for creating and marketing high quality video content; something he's done well in building a YouTube following of more than 140,000+ subscribers over the past few years. https://www.reviewengin.com/simple-tips-to-starting-an-affiliate-marketing-online-business/

  8. Nice and informative channel. Once again, Bitcoin has bounced back and is currently trading slightly above $60,000 support zone against the US Dollar and the bulls are so much in charge to see btc to $65,000 and ahead. Its still a great time to day trade with the little you hold and its not still late to buy little btc and grow your portfolio as i have been doing with Mr Carlos Wilfred for the past 6 weeks now and i came to understand that you can make profit from the market at anytime and its even profitable when btc is bullishing so your portfolio can grow too. Mr Carlos Wilfred signals are so accurate and yields lots of profits, using his signals has made me 5.34 btc with my initial 0.7 btc which you all traders/investors will see is profitable. This is the most beneficial means of trading as experienced and he can be contacted via telegram @iebinaryfx or Gmail (investandearnbinaryfx@gmail.com) for inquiries

  10. If you think of yourself as a champion fighter in the ring, consider losses to be the knockout blow and stop loss to be the timeout. Remember that small losses seldom have a big impact; when it comes to losses on the forex trading for beginners market, size does matter. Waiting to recover your losses can actually push you lower on the money spiral. In forex trading for beginners, there are no permanent friends or foes, but sticking on to a loss out of sheer stubbornness is not persistence. Confidence is the key to unlocking the immense potential of forex trading for beginners. Losing money makes it difficult to gain confidence, and therefore, looking before you trade makes all the difference in the size of your profits.Every time the price touches the trendline, you enter your position. Every time it extends beyond the trendline, you close your position. The most common feature in forex is leverage, using more money than you have in your account. Risk reward analysis can be fruitless if you are seeking to trade without going up a gum tree.These charts have three points – the open, close and the wicks. The wicks represent the high to low range, and the wide section will explain whether the closing price was higher or lower than the opening price. We provide you with the latest breaking news and videos straight from the business. However, don’t limit yourself to these currencies as there are many out there that’s waiting to be explored.It is important to know the terminology related to forex trading before you begin the actual trading process. Here are some steps to get yourself started on the forex trading journey. Most retail investorsshould spend time investigating a forex dealer to find out whether it is regulated in the U.S. or the U.K. (dealers in the U.S. and the U.K. have more oversight) or in a country with lax rules and oversight. It is also a good idea to find out what kind of account protections are available in case of a market crisis, or if a dealer becomes insolvent. Most small retail traders trade with relatively small and semi-unregulated forex brokers/dealers, which can re-quote prices and even trade against their own customers. https://www.reviewengin.com/trade-juice-review/

  11. Also, the big retailers can pave the way to supply products to small online stores. This platform would make you act as a mediator between the supplier and the buyer. By selling vitamins, herbal supplements, skincare products, and weight loss products online you can earn money. Another e-commerce idea you would like to try is selling products for pet care. You can make money by selling pet toys, food, shampoos, and other supplies that are required for pets.
    We’ve got a great blog post on how to design a killer landing page. It’s loaded with actionable tips that’ll take your landing page to the next level. Mainly, your landing page should give the lowdown on your store or product to get people excited, and clearly state your launch date. If you’ve made it this far, give yourself a pat on the back, because you’ve accomplished a lot.
    Be ready to invest a small cash cushion in the $1,000 range to get your business launched and operational. You do not have any risk to buy a product and lose money if it is not sold. Today, social networks are not just a platform for communication, but also an effective channel for promotion of your products or services. It is an affordable “provider” of traffic to the website. Web design services can be provided by a person who successfully owns graphics editors and knows the basics of graphics and website development.
