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.

Sin embargo, al arribar a la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, sus planes se ven truncados por un "azar" desventurado y doloroso que transformará radical e irreversiblemente sus vidas, llevándolos a experimentar, en carne propia, las realidades más crudas y siniestras que se cuecen, semi-ocultas, en multiplicidad de recovecos de la populosa urbe portuaria, entrelazando -y construyendo paso a paso- sus destinos con los de diversos personajes arquetípicos (y no tanto) de la cosmopolita sociedad argentina contemporánea, en la que el crimen y la marginalidad, con todas sus configuraciones posibles, ejercen un peso y una influencia innegables. En esta dramática e intrigante novela de ficción villera y policial, con más de 100 personajes cuyas infortunadas historias, en algún punto, confluyen con las del resto, se relevan ciertas problemáticas sociales de actualidad: como la corrupción, la discriminación, la explotación laboral y sexual, la pobreza, la trata de personas, la violencia, las familias disfuncionales, y los abusos sexuales tanto extra como intra-familiares, entre otras.

The moral dangers of the too common and too fashionable amusements of dancing are pointed out, with as much force as clearness and learning, in this small but valuable book. The author extracts proofs from the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Fathers, Holy Councils, and from the theologians most renowned for their piety and learning.Familiarity removes, often, a due appreciation of the dangers of the dance. There are Catholics who seem to have become skeptical as to the very existence of the danger attendant on their supposed innocent recreations.We hope that these collected proofs will enlighten the mind and change the heart of those who have been the advocates of dancing, solely because they have never sufficiently considered the evils of which it is the cause and the occasion."But, you will say, the Commandments of God do not forbid dancing, nor does Holy Scripture, either. Perhaps you have not examined them very closely. Follow me for a moment and you will see that there is not a Commandment of God which dancing does not cause to be transgressed, nor a Sacrament which it does not cause to be profaned."- St. John Vianney
