Re: [CardioTrainer Users] Noom Calories Burned Performance Based

It's a motivator to exercise. Basically if I slow down on my exercise the calories I'm allowed to consume would drop. Seeing my caloric intake requirements drop would make me want to get back on the exercise routine. It would help motivate me to ride the bike a few more minutes or get up and do my next exercise session when the opportunity arises.

I'm trying to lose weight too BTW. But my weekly schedule fluctuates to the point I can't have a perfectly consistent exercise schedule. So currently I just plug in some numbers in the Plan to try and duplicate the calorie burn I'm shooting for. The reminders to exercise are therefore useless to me as I have to exercise when I get the chance. This has been working for me for a good long while. I hope this becomes an option in the Noom plan feature so Noom will make daily calorie intake suggestions to me based on my actual performance instead of my projections. It would simply require Noom to extrapolate.

AdSense توفر فئة إعلانات جديدة للمقامرة للناشرين في

مرحبًا،

نحن نراجع باستمرار فئات الإعلانات المتوفرة لناشري برنامج AdSense من أجل توفير إمكانية الوصول لمجموعة واسعة من المُعلنين المحتملين. من أجل تحقيق هذا الهدف، سنبدأ اعتبارًا من 11 تشرين الأول (اكتوبر)‬ بتوسيع مستودع إعلانات Google المؤهّلة للظهور على شبكة AdSense بحيث تشمل الإعلانات ذات الصلة بالمقامرة والتي يعرضها مُعلنون موثوقون.

تجدر الإشارة إلى أن سياسات برنامج AdSense ستستمر في منع وضع الإعلانات في المواقع التي تقبل المال أو تسمح للمستخدمين بوضع رهانات مقابل فرصة لربح أموال أو جوائز أخرى، مباشرةً من الموقع. ‬ كما أن هذه الإعلانات الجديدة لن تظهر إلا للمستخدمين المتواجدين في مناطق تُعتبر فيها المقامرة شرعية، وهذا ما يحدده موقع المستخدم. يمكن العثور على قائمة كاملة بهذه المواقع على الرابط التالي: http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=ar&hlrm=en_GB&answer=176014. أخيرًا، يمكن للناشرين عدم تمكين استلام الإعلانات من هذه الفئة الجديدة إذا كانت مواقعهم مخصصة لأفراد لم يتجاوزا 18 سنة من عمرهم.

إذا كنت تريد السماح لإعلانات المقامرة بالظهور في موقعك وكنت تشعر بأنها تتلاءم مع محتوى موقعك وجمهورك، يمكنك تمكين هذه الفئة ضمن حسابك في AdSense. جديرٌ بالذكر أنه يمكنك التحكم في فئات الإعلانات التي يمكنها الظهور في موقعك. ويمكنك دائمًا التحقق من خيارات تصفية الفئات وإجراء التغييرات باتباع هذه التعليمات. مرة جديدة، يُرجى الأخذ في الاعتبار أن تمكين فئة المقامرة يعني أنك تؤكد أن الموقع (المواقع) الذي تضع فيه شفرة إعلانك غير مخصص للأفراد الذين لم يتجاوزا 18 سنة من عمرهم.

إذا كنت لا تريد ظهور إعلانات المقامرة في موقعك، فلا يلزم اتخاذ أي إجراء من جانبك. إننا ننصحك بمراجعة فلتر الفئة بصورةٍ منتظمة لمعرفة فئات الإعلانات الجديدة التي قد تصبح متوفرة.

نحن نتطلع إلى الاستمرار في زيادة المخزون الإعلاني المتوفر لك حتى تحقق أكبر قدر ممكن من الأرباح من AdSense.

مع خالص التقدير،

فريق Google AdSense

Re: NBR Track Workout Tonight 9/22

Wow, that's beyond the pale. What next? Are they going to invalidate

Re: Seems to have slipped under the radar - (2005) Title: Reasoning=working memory=attention

yes chimps have a better working memory in some aspects at least http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJAH4ZJBiN8 (someone posted this on this forum a long time ago)

example of impressive chimp problem solving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySMh1mBi3cI

if anyone could comment on this I would be delighted.

it's possible that apes are quite intelligent but simply lacking language. it's possible that in the future they can talk to us with implants, and they turn out to be very inventive people, esp if given language--if they can be inventive starting from the same concepts we have access to with language.

one of the thing the human evo paradigm changed is the cost of acquiring a new idea. a chimp has to invent it (or copy it it's true, but in small groups), but a human merely has to hear/read it, from someone he never met. big groups + language + long term memory is probably the main paradigm shifter in human evolution. it might be the "killer apps" that triggered/allowed true cultural evolution to happen.

chimps and early humans --> isolated software developpers, produce mainly for themselves.
humans --> customers on an app market, very few developers needed in comparison with users.

what's fascinating to me is that chimps and other monkeys could be stronger than humans on raw reasoning. I'm not entirely sure this is true, but it seems like it. their brain would be like an older technology or software that is lacking certain popular features but that are stronger on certain features that turned out not to be so popular and didn't develop/expand as much.

I saw a documentary that featured a really smart crow. They have tiny
brains, but can understand and use tools. How long did it take us to
invent the wheel?

Re: Seems to have slipped under the radar - (2005) Title: Reasoning=working memory=attention

Coordination of stored info I think is better developed with more complex versions of n-back, like (Quad) Combination n-back and playing with variable levels. You have to juggle more with the info you stored. Better work out to me.

This is interesting stuff! If anyone wants any of the articles just
let me know.

I haven't checked the reference section but I think this may be a
follow up study...

Title: (2006) Cognitive Abilities and Their Interplay: Reasoning,
Crystallized Intelligence, Working Memory Components, and Sustained
Attention

Journal of Individual Differences
Volume 27, Issue 2, June 2006, Pages 57-72

Link - http://www.sciencedirect.com.ezproxy.lib.swin.edu.au/science/article/pii/S1614000106600318

Abstract
The aim of this study was to confirm that coordination and storage in
the context of processing are significant predictors of reasoning even
if crystallized intelligence is controlled for. It was also expected
that sustained attention and coordination would be highly correlated.
Therefore, 20 working memory tests, 2 attention tests, and 18
intelligence subtests were administered to 121 students. We were able
to replicate results indicating that storage in the context of
processing and coordination are significant predictors of reasoning.
Controlling for crystallized intelligence did not decrease the common
variance between working memory and reasoning. The study also revealed
that the factors coordination and sustained attention were highly
correlated. Finally, a model is presented with the latent variables
speed and g, which can explain almost all of the common variance of
the applied aggregates. A detailed discussion of the results supports
the view that working memory and intelligence share about 70% of the
common variance.
