Emotional control is really important to be able to do as a deductionist, and my best method for achieving this has been Ben Cardall’s earphone game. The Sherlock Holmes method is creativity in a tight straight jacket, thus, Watsons biggest logical fallacy is to be so stuck in his emotions that he misses what’s right in front of him. If you go to sleep in a tent with Sherlock and wake in the middle of the night to his nudging you to make a deduction about the night sky and you spout on about life on other planets, supernovas and star galaxies far away you have missed that your tent is gone. I don’t think this is a cold process of mechanical reasoning unless you have missed the point that one is a mindful approach and the other isn’t. I think that meditation can achieve the same thing but the headphones game greatly enhances your ability to meditate. My own experience has been meditating before meals and periods where I am more mindful due to diligence in using the headphones game. Deduction in the tent example was straightforward so much that we could miss it when woken from a dream or not engaged with our senses. To truly engage with the deduction mindset try to put some thought into your actions this week. Another fatal point to many points on deduction is to not stop self developing just because you have a hobby. Thus, there are periods that I have gone light in my training in light of providing love for those I care about, and therein lies an important point of mental maturity when you can do something for fun but not stale your personality in its use or alienate you in a world of your own.Cold.

Navigation can be a difficult area of deduction and if you are a walker then you may want to know how to find your way out of the woods. Sherlock does this when he dismantles moriarties ring of criminals and he is captured in the woods where he no doubt knew exactly where he was going. Grass in fields is uneven in height and the taller grass will respond to changes in wind direction; however, it’s important to know if the lower grass is pointing the natural direction of the wind normally which is southwest, thus you can find a compass pretty easily in nature. Trees often have there branches growing away from the sun. If you come across elm, holly or willows you may be near water as these are low ph trees and non acidic. Trees have there own biome and will often create a sun screen for the sun so look for the side that is white on some trees which will be angled to the south. Why in England? I am not from there but I should explain that the author of the walkers guide to outdoor clues and signs named Tristan Gooley. I highly recommend it as it is another niche area to grow your knowledge base in. Thanks, and have fun deducing!

In other languages other than English the word emotion can refer to a feeling but not to the definition of emotions connotations feelings, physical sensations and thoughts that we take for granted in English. The English language allows us to take advantage of this to create neurobiological, psychological and emotive reasons for states of emotions that in other languages may be lacking. Our language may be a clue to the link between preverbal and nonverbal gesturing that led to language. Perhaps we have evolved enough to finally explain our origins.

Recently I came up with some new deductions like if you see someone with really small or uncharacteristic and inappropriately sized earrings for someone who likes the glitz and glam but often will wear fake jewelry that looks real. They are trying to boost their reputation or status through how they look superficially, but I spotted an earring it was real diamond because it was too small for her thus betraying her whole feature. I then deduced correctly that it must have been a gift and an heirloom. This revealed more about her character, health and socioeconomic status which then I could see that she comes from modest beginnings and hasn’t elevated herself. See if you can piece this together it is small and real diamond+ doesn’t fit with normal attire, granted this someone I knew from previous observations but didn’t know anything about until she invited me to her table. I could then tell her what I did and explain my love for deduction where I told her about people watching. I guessed a few things about the earings and a few easy observations and I wanted to know if the deduction about her heirloom was right reasoning or if I overstepped the steps from observation to deduction. Let me know what you think in the comments below so that I can improve and as always this is for anyone trying to improve, and we can all be the light for each other.

Some say that there are two types of sherlockians and there are those who see it as a set of skills and they apply it to their work in different areas. Others think they are Sherlock Holmes and try to pretend to be forensic deductionists. This is what sherlockians have told me. I see it as a point of personal character to strive to have him as a mold that I can occasionally fit myself into to see how I can model his skills. Part of my work has taken me into forensics and you will notice the themes on my page are things which he would have largely studied. I love the character and it has been my own point of departure from direct copying or some laymen version of it that I am curious about many characters, thus my palace would have busts with several figures who take me into different worlds. Whoever has truly read the characters from another’s mind has seen that each set of skills brings you into a different world. This, if we can look into his character he can serve as a portal for whoever’s up to do their own research on a topic they can use a character to personify their curiosity. It works in memory palaces too have Einstein take you on a tour of the physics or chemistry laboratory where you have stored theories on the theories he espoused. That takes you into a world of autobiographies and worlds of his own he thought worth creating about problem solving and a path for humanity to follow for peace.

Music has a profound effect on the brain and experts say there are a few ways to practice to move the connections where they need to go, but first more on the brain. The brain has a number of ways of misorganizing and disorganizing what you learn so organizing a process for memorizing music can be difficult. The fact that neuroplasticity exists in the brain can actually help rather than hurt a budding musician. The brain is able to take information and change its makeup so that the information is remembered so start by taking your violin and the piece you want to memorize and either memorize the whole thing by playing through it and if you make any mistakes you start over again. This is a good way to memorize something only if you are going to stay mindful throughout the process, and in fact mindfulness can significantly reduce mistakes and time spent memorizing overall. This is not to say that you should not practice because the best violinists have put in hours of practice that goes beyond memorizing one piece into learning the intricacies of all the repertoire of skills a classically trainer violinist would have. The second method is memorizing small parts of a song piece by piece and really mastering them then putting them together in the correct sequence so that the song is played. The last method I know involves starting with a small part of the song and expanding laterally learning a little bit more each way from where you start until the whole song is played. This when practiced makes learning the grammar that accompanies written music easier as I think it is largely too cumbersome to memorize the music with mnemonics and playing from sheet music or without it doesn’t need mnemonics in truth. However let’s say you did. You would be learning not just the note but whatever musical notation that went with it which could be simple Harp for arpeggio but what about if it’s a lot of musical notation. First things first when you get a new piece you can read it and in fact this does help the learning process along, but you can also do play from the sheet music and a simple margin note or natural memory use will prove excellent compared to all those mnemonics in the end I believe with larger dividends. If you have a mnemonic device that you think is better than the advice I am giving by all means go for it as I am not a professional in music just an interested party and psychologist. Thank you, and that’s all for now.

Distinguishing Medical Conditions From Nails

- Pale nails : Possible Anemia, Congestive Heart Failure, Liver Disease

- White Nails : Liver problem specially when the fingers were jaundiced = Hepatitis, trauma, vitiligo.

-Yellow Nails : Fungal infection as the infection worsens nail bed retract nails thicken and crumble, Thyroid disease, Lung disease, Diabetes or Psoriasis, ( Differ from nicotine residue)

- Blue-ish Nails : Blue-ish tint = Body not generating enough oxygen = Lung problem such as emphysema, Heart problems can be associated with blue-ish nails, oral medications.

- Rippled Nails : Nail surface rippled or pitted = Early sign of psoriasis or inflammatory arthritis, Discoloration of the nails is common, Skin under nails red-ish-brown

- Cracked or Split Nails:Dry + Brittle +Crack / Split = Thyroid, Crack + Yellow Residue = Fungal Infection

- Puffy Nail Fold : Red + Puffy = Lupus or Connective tissue disorder

-Dark Lines Beneath Nails = Skin Cancer

- Poor nail growth often characterized by wavy & thin nails can indicate a regular alcoholism or a fairly poor nutrition on one’s metabolical system.

- Pitted nails : Grooves on nail could possibly indicate that a person has a depression to a certain degree, psoriasis, and reiter’s syndrome.

- Clubbed nails : This have the appearance of being too big for the fingers, this is one of clusters to diagnose someone with a diabetes / low blood oxygen levels / a disease in the vital organ / cardiovascular disease or problems in the respiratory system / AIDS / and liver problem. Al tough other clusters and evidence need to be gathered because jumping to certain conclusions about a person’s physical well being is dangerous.

- Beau’s lines : Horizontal lines across the finger , when someone is sick moderate or severe illnesses the nails will actually stop growing temporarily to allow that focus to the healing and recovery part of the body.

- Terry’s Nails : The appearance of dark lines on the edge of the finger ranging from the color dark pink – brown these lines under the nails are often caused by aging, diabetes and rarely, congestive heart failure.

- Spoon nails : Spoon nails looks like the nails has been depressed fully to the finger so it form a curve that’s similar to a spoon, this is mostly caused by iron deficiency ( anemia ) there may be a correlation with cardiovascular disease.

- Onychauxis (toe nails) : Thickening of the nails, Cause –> Agings, genetics, object stubbing the toe nails ( acute trauma), pressure placed on the nail + long period of time, hormonal disorder, psoriasis + brittle nails, reduced circulation (smoker), diabetes, drier’s disease, infection, pityriasis ruby pilaris.

- Paronychias ( fungal infection) = Poor attention to hygiene, dementia, psychiatric ilness, depression.

-Lunula = First thing to notice if lunula at the base of the nail. A red lunula is often seen in cardiovascular illness such as congestive heart failure. A pointed lunula suggests repeated trauma such as excessive manicures or psychiatric illness. The absence of lunula may indicate anemia or undernutrition.

- Mee`s lines= Any acute illness can produce milky white lines called Mee`s lines in the setting of arsenic poisoning.

- Central ridge = A central thin ridge in the nails can be seen in nutritional deficiency (iron, folic acid or protein deficiency).

-Heller`s deformity = A central canal with a fir tree appearance is called Heller`s deformity and implies peripheral arterial = disease, malnutrition or repetitive trauma.

- Green nails : pseudomonas.

- Brown nails : chemotherapy, nicotine use, common nails polish.

- Black nails : melanoma, pseudomonas infection, bruising.

- Red / purple nails : splinter hemorrhage.

NOTE : Those are just clusters to come up to a specific diagnosis, other clusters / evidence from mere observation need to be gathered no conclusion could be driven by a single evidence, if you’re sure that the person has a specific illnesses contact the doctor to diagnose them.

The criminal mind has been the topic of the century culminating in several decades of crime shows that people watch with the hope of figuring out the character of the criminal. Character traits of a criminal are manipulative and coercive. They are lazy by nature who want to be served and treated as the best. They see themselves as either the best or as nothing and they consider it “Put down” to be reduced to mere atoms. The childhood of a criminal can have a variety of experiences that can vary from abusive to non abusive in nature, they can be from a broken home or a perfectly fine home. It is important to know when dealing with a criminal that they will try to make you believe that their childhood was bad and abusive even though it may have been just fine. The school attending student in his early years will do little things like pulling a girls hair to gain some excitement out of life or will want to do special favors for their teachers such as cleaning the chalkboard. It is important to know that I am no criminologist just an interested person who has read on the topic.

There are different gaits, as I have briefly developed as a thought in a previous post, and there are now what I want to call gait styles which are more related to the type of person. Adding to one of my previous post a thing to look out for may be the length of stride. This is not related to anything within gait pathology but to a military man possibly. Another possibility is someone who has a bouncing gait or a stride. One of the things you will have to weed out from your bias is the type of walker who has long strides because he wants to appear tough or manly. This would indicate someone of much less ingrained habits of discipline and may point you toward someone who wants to show off his toughness around and look tough with people who he seeks to intimidate. The difference is clear one would be someone to avoid messing with and the other without the habits of a military man who is not skilled in fighting styles would be less intimidating than he would like others to believe.

Toxicology Studies

So far some common roaring twenties poisons for you to think about were arsenic which was a common poison which could kill someone which had the unfortunate effect of disappearing traces from the blood. Tests were devised to grind up livers and deduce from chemical tests with a white precipitate remaining that it was indeed arsenic that killed the victim. Chlorophorm was known at the time to represent highly a group of sedatives which could be used for surgery on healthy adults but children or people with weakened immune systems or the elderly could be susceptible to the effects of chlorophorm being deadly. This was refrained from use during child surgeries and it was used unfortunately to murder people. The use of cyanide or hydrocyanic acid (HNO, KNO, NaNO) was a particularly dangerous chemical. Murcury causes organ failure and was found in some machines at the time which will literally spread and divide and concour each organ until it kills you. Methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol were evident in some forms of alcohol engineered during the prohibition such as wood alcohol distilled from yeah and they are not only poisonous in high doses but can be dangerous in nature because of the way that they were made, stored and the careless nature in which they were served. Lead in basements and cleaning products used in bathtubs contained other chemicals mentioned and they were prevelent in speak easy dens, while bathtubs were used to distill liquors. Well polished silverware without being washed was deadly due to cleaning products containing some of these chemicals. Radium was discovered and perhaps due to the zeal with which it was admonished as a glow in the dark chemical by madame curae who carelessly carried it in her pockets to show people and others who painted it on dials in factories and drank it in tonics. Thousands of factory workers jaws slowly started to decay away and eventually this caused people to find a correlation that radium which eventually killed madame curae and so many others as they just wasted away to question whether it should be branded poison. Carbon monoxide a clever gas which causes carboxyhemogloben to circulate the blood and choke the oxygen from the cells of those exposed was new due to cars being a must have in the roaring twenties, a status symbol that now many people could afford. That alone is the reason why so many people died from gas leaks on stoves or certain pipes in the house and could die from overexposure in garages. It may be due to the carbon damaging the victims brain that eventually kills the person and not necessarily the suffocation. Thallium was one additional chemical which was spoken about in the book the poisoners handbook: murder and the birth of forensic science in jazz age New York by Deborah Blum which is available on amazon for purchase here

using imagination

You must above all things imagine. That’s that. All people who like Sherlock Holmes, listen to Vivaldi or snack on pretzels because of their health use imagination. People can be more imaginative simply by thinking I’m going to use my imagination today. Many people find mind maps helpful, Sherlock plays the violin. I use these two as a direct contrast to the very mindful intentional act of waiting. You must be patient and almost always your imagination provides that solution. You find that to use a diffuse mode of thinking you can almost zoom out from your highly focused activities. If I memorize a deck of cards I use relatable concepts in real life and real places to construct very real mind palace memorization for two minutes memorization of cards. I’m sure people could do it faster, but take your time and enjoy the images in your mind because they are the key to creating new concepts that go beyond what the benefits would be of fast memory and recall.

Inductive vs. deductive and some abductive reasoning

When you think logically the goal is to confirm factual evidence and either infer new information which is inductive reasoning or make something from the knowledge in your head and that’s deductive reasoning. The first is what Holmes would use to make conclusions such as Most Americans are voters, P is an American therefore P is a voter. Doesn’t that seem like a deduction, doesn’t it seem factual, and to my point that it is induction due to the fact that not all Americans are voters and even though p is American he doesn’t have to be a voter and therefore the premise is not always right unless p is always a voter. Deduction requires a yes or no answer whereas inductive reasoning doesn’t, and it often will sound like no acids are based so no bases are acids. It can be inferred from the information and confirmed by the information whereas inductive thoughts can be more conjectural. HIV always results in Having AIDS and you have AIDS so you have HIV. This even though it is not true always is a deductive statement because it is stated as a fact even though it may be fallacious. Sherlock gets off a train and is unblindfolded he looks up and down and observes the street is wet, the pavement is wet, the rooftops are wet and says disorientingly that it has rained and I have been brought to an area where it was raining earlier in the day. It was raining in ft lauderdale today I have been brought to ft lauderdale. This is an example of how you could start to think backwards to figure out how something happened. Reengineer the machine or situation with the elements you know to be active. This can be such as taking apart a situation and replacing one variable as you think then imagining the scenario with replaced element to see what would be different. If you find that element that if you know for sure you would have been home instead of taking the train then you have your reason for why you are in ft lauderdale.

Hypnosis

The typical format of hypnosis is to first have people do a voluntary task which makes it suggest that they will do something automatically which is then followed by involuntary tasks. This is typically something like hold your hand in front of your face, your hand is getting light and it’s floating toward your face as your hand gets closer to your face your eyes become more closed. This is called the Milton model in NLP and Its more extensive than this. Milton Erickson typically put suggestions into the therapy part of the hypnosis by planting seeds like see your mind go blank(voluntary) as it becomes emptier and emptier (suggestion) your troubles become more and more distant. (Opener) With that being said the use of more and more and deeper and deeper can hypnotize people and cause us to go into a trance because it repeats a word. Any suggestion taking place in the predicate or after a sentence joiner can cause someone to go into a trance(.) like this sentence. Emphasis on words like like this would make you want to like this post more in the example of tumblr hypnosis or verbal hypnosis. Advertisers even highlight and italicize certain key words to get you to buy buy buy. Think of the definition of hypnosis as using body language and hypnotic verbal influence to influence other people which extends to politicians and businessmen.

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable must be the truth

-Arthur Conan Doyle

Microscopes:

PLM or polarized light microscopes use visible and infrared spectrophotometry and basic scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Can be used to examine glass, fibers, hairs, paint and pollens soils and gunshot residue. They can be used to eliminate the impossible and figure out what is most probable.

Soil analysis

There are over 5,000 different types of soils in the U.S.A. alone which are made examinable by computer databases. For the purposes of examining the soil components on someone’s clothing you may examine color, sediment or structure. A grey color may indicate organic matter the same with black soil and grey could mean the presence of lime. Red, yellow or brown soil indicate that iron is present. Structurally soil could be broken into conglomerates like that of the platy peds or it could be bulky as in bulky peds. I looked up soil taxonomy in America and I was able to find the soil lay outs of most cities as a matter of public records. This combined with the particles on clothing due to locards exchange principle can tell you where in the city they have been or where they live.
