Relation Between Timewave Zero and Mayan Calendar Stages

Basically, there are 9 cycles of creation. Each cycle going upwards is 20 times shorter than the previous cycle. Plus, each single cycle is divided into 13 equal sections of time - 7 days and 6 nights is what it is called. 


Heres a basic understanding of what I have from each cycle so far
Cellular - Birth of Cells/Elements/ everything in solar system.
Mammilian - Life on land (mammals/animals)
Familiar - Familiy Realtionships/ no longer just running with the herd on instinct.
Tribal - Working together between non-family members for protection. First humans on earth became in the very late period of the tribal cycle. (around 200,000 years ago I believe the first fossils were found)
Cultural - Shared reasons between people - (art and religion for example)
National - Nations arise/first laws applied to populations.
Planetary - Global Economics/ New Sciences/ Power (even as in electicity/engines ect.)
Galactic - Ethics/ Right and Wrong. We are still in this cycle according to the calendar.
Universal - Unknown. Not there yet but soon. 

The Quality of Everything we Do

The quality of everything we do: our physical actions, our verbal actions, and even our mental actions, depends on our motivation. That's why it's important for us to examine our motivation in our day to day life. If we cultivate respect for others and our motivation is sincere, if we develop a genuine concern for others’ well-being, then all our actions will be positive.

Pattern Recognition

In machine learning, pattern recognition is the assignment of a label to a given input value. An example of pattern recognition is classification, which attempts to assign each input value to one of a given set of classes (for example, determine whether a given email is "spam" or "non-spam"). However, pattern recognition is a more general problem that encompasses other types of output as well. Other examples are regression, which assigns a real-valued output to each input; sequence labeling, which assigns a class to each member of a sequence of values (for example, part of speech tagging, which assigns a part of speech to each word in an input sentence); and parsing, which assigns a parse tree to an input sentence, describing the syntactic structure of the sentence.

Million Dollar Business this Weekend

I've been looking around at facebook with many subscriptions that show up at my home page. I found this one wich caught my attention.

a piece of the text:

For some reason, people love to make excuses about why they haven’t created their dream business or even gotten started. This is the “wantrepreneur” epidemic, where people prevent themselves from ever actually doing the side-project they always talk about over beers. The truth of the matter is that you don’t have to spend a lot of time building the foundation for a successful business. In most cases, it shouldn’t take you more than a couple days.

Here is the link about creating a business like MINT:

Visual Studio Profiler

Here is an article about Visual Studio Profiler. I was checking at the enviroment and then no such a thing like a performance tools in Tools option. so I checked around to find out my version was a Profesional Edition, and that "It is by design that Professional edition of Visual Studio doesn't have this feature. you need the Visual Studio Developer edition or Team Suite edition."

Well everything goes and I will try AQTime then to watch performance on FastBanking application.

how good is to divide groups

Reading about this topic in programmers exchange, I assume that maybe small groups would communicate better but some projects might be a bit bigger so you need to create a module for each team and focalize what you have. Still who will lead the group would have to create a methodology so developers could giveback with no overpressure. I think is good to be inmerse in UI and BL both so you would have a better understanding of the solution, but sometimes, when a developer is more skillful in one area than the other(design) you probably would have better results focusing people on what they feel more comfortable.

measure of response in method

I had the task to test a method and measure how much time was taken.

Here is how i did it:


Stopwatch sw = new System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch();
sw.Start();

FillDropDownList();
buttonContinue.Text = "it take... (ms): " + sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;

sw.Stop();


Notice that in order to use StopWatch you will need the System.Diagnostics.
