Supernormal Growth

'China''s Economy 1979–2049'

' Supernormal Growth confirms the supernormal achievements of China by providing founding statistics that China, during the past 35 years, experienced a synchronous high-speed growth of investment, consumption, labor productivity with low volatility. First of its kind, Jeffrey Shi analyzes the unique structure and operating mechanism of China''s existing market economy from a theoretic perspective, and attributes China''s supernormal growth to supernormal investment aroused by China''s three dimensional (3-D) market system which consists of competitive enterprises, competitive local governments and central government and to supernormal purchasing power created by American''s finance-driving strategy. In examining multiple challenges of China one by one, the Shi proposes a whole conception of national strategic asset investment system which does not interfere with the operation of normal market, but provides sustainable extra force to extend China''s supernormal growth, and also an innovative idea of relieving polarization of the poor and the rich through a "1.5th income distribution" system, so as to provide a panoramic view of China''s supernormal growth strategy in the next 30 years. Shi is not only a respected scholar, but also a successful businessman, giving Supernormal Growth a more valuable reference in answering many questions about China''s development no matter in the past or future.

Supernormal

Lançado em tempos de divisão e intolerância, Supernormal é um livro delicado, contundente.Beto leva uma vida normal, dividida entre um emprego no escritório de advocacia da mãe, almoços com os colegas de trabalho e os discos das suas bandas de rock preferidas. Até que seu mundo vira de cabeça para baixo quando depara com Helena, pessoa de quem foi melhor amigo na adolescência e que hoje é uma mulher trans. Se em um primeiro momento Beto fica obcecado em compreender a transição que ela enfrentou, logo passa a questionar outra realidade: a sua própria. Revendo privilégios e preconceitos, ele descobre que precisa escolher um lado. O preço disso, porém, pode ser mais alto do que imagina."Supernormal não é exatamente um livro sobre nós, pessoas trans, mas sobre uma personagem que, ao estranhar nossa existência, passa a estranhar a sua própria e os motivos que tornariam temerária nossa tão característica ousadia de lutar pelo que somos e pelo que dá sentido à nossa vida." — Amara Moira, travesti, doutora pela Unicamp e autora de E se eu fosse puta

Psychical and Supernormal Phenomena

Their Observation and Experimentation

Excerpt from Psychical and Supernormal Phenomena: Their Observation and Experimentation The thorough study of Hypnotism has drawn attention to phenomena which seem, on the one hand, only to be the continuation of hypnotic phenomena, and, on the other, to be connected with faculties of the human mind hitherto unknown. These phenomena are, first of all, those of mental suggestion and thought-transmission, which we have studied in our Traite de l'Hypnotisme. In other cases, we have witnessed phenomena of lucidity in certain subjects placed in a condition of deep somnambulism. In studying lucidity more closely we noticed that certain special circumstances, and in particular a methodical training, develop this faculty in a singular manner in those endowed with it. The investigator is thus led to inquire whether this faculty of lucidity does not sometimes appear spontaneously, in the same way as we witness spontaneous somnambulism in connection with induced somnambulism. He then finds a certain number of cases of telepathy which seem to be closely connected with the instances of lucidity. After embarking upon the study of telepathy it is not long before we become convinced that the phenomena of this category are very complex. In fact, while certain instances of telepathy are only the mental perception of a fact that has occurred at a distance, there are others in which this perception is accompanied by an hallucination, and sometimes this hallucination is collective.

Supernormal

Faszinierende Beweise für die unglaublichen Kräfte des Menschen

Verborgenen Kräfte des Menschen, wie sie schon in alten Yoga-Sutras beschrieben wurden und die heute noch als außergewöhnlich oder als supernormal gelten, werden einmal natürliche Eigenschaften jedes Menschen sein.

Magnitude of Visual Improvement Expected with Supernormal Optics

Purpose: FDA clinical trials are currently testing wavefront guided laser corrections that, when perfected, could provide patients with extraordinary vision called "supernormal vision". Our purpose was to estimate how much visual performance, tested by contrast sensitivity, could be improved in ten subjects with simulated supernormal visual correction. Methods: High contrast gratings were projected onto the retina of one eye for each subject using a Lotmar white-light interferometer. This equipment enabled us to theoretically bypass the optics of the eye to gain estimates of neural limit contrast sensitivity. Another light with variable luminance was superimposed on the grating pattern to alter its contrast on the retina. The contrast threshold was measured at five spatial frequencies (maximum, 24, 12, 6, and 3 cycles/degree), to estimate contrast sensitivity with simulated supernormal vision. These measurements were compared to normally measured contrast sensitivity values to estimate the visual benefit of a perfect optical correction. Results: On average, simulated supernormal correction improved visual acuity to 20/12 : contrast sensitivity improved by factors of 6±2 and 2±1 at 24 and 12 cycles/degree, respectively. Paradoxically, contrast sensitivity at 6 and 3 cycles/degree declined by factors of 0.8±0.4 and 0.3±0.2, respectively. A wide range in benefit ratio measurements was observed at 24 cycles/degree from a factor of 11 to a factor of 1.5. Conclusion: Although supernormal visual correction can improve visual acuity to 20/12+, the most significant improvement may be better contrast sensitivity for medium and small sized objects. The variability in contrast sensitivity improvement show that supernormal visual correction would benefit each patient differently. The decline in visual performance for the lowest spatial frequencies, corresponding to large objects, may be an artifact of our methods for normal contrast sensitivity measurement.

The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal The present edition of this book is to some extent-an abridgement of the first edition, which appeared some seven years ago. I have, for instance, omitted a num ber of cases which were originally included, and also my sittings with Mrs. Piper - which material will be published at a later date in another volume. I have also omitted the original First Chapter, - since much of this material was subsequently included in my Modern Psychical Phenomena. On the other hand, I have in cluded a new chapter on Recent Experiments in Psychic Photography, - composed partly of original and hitherto unpublished material, and partly of the experiments undertaken, some years ago, by Dr. Baraduc, - in pho tog'raphing the soul. The account of his experiments was originally published in my book, Death: its Causes and Phenomena, but they are now included here as being more in line with other experiments recently under taken in this field. I have also added a brief chapter on the Scientific Investigation of Psychic Phenomena by means of Laboratory Instruments.
