My name is Hindemburg Melão Jr., was born in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. My mother called my father called Linai and Hindemburg Melão.
I have always been a person concerned with ethics and logic, which are the two pillars that determine a large part of my personality and my conduct. My interests change considerably over time and currently involves the following subjects: Existence, life, health, education, social problems and assistance activities, automatic systems for Investments in Forex, BM & F Bovespa and NYSE CHX, measure theory, astronomical observation, dialectic and Oratory, Psychometrics, cognition, heuristics, Mind and epistemology, Business Intelligence, information theory and knowledge management, statisticsAutomated systems for Complex decision-making processes, magic and Illusionism, Shooting and editing videos, Chocolate, Puzzles and Quizzes, chess, astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology, literature, music, philosophy, psychology, physics, mathematics, martial arts, swimming and dancing.
Chess is a field in which I have had the opportunity to meet very interesting people, people of great character, with which I made friendships that last more than half of my life. Chess also helped me get an idea about my strengths and weaknesses, as well as my level of performance in activities that require different sets of mental faculties. In blindfold chess, for example, I was fortunate enough to beat a world record of longest announced mate, an event that was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records, pages 110-111 of 1998 Edition. Friends and family who accompanied me during this conquest had a very important role, always encouraging me and often setting aside their personal commitments to devote time to my project. When I see people who have hit record highs, but failed to be recorded in Guinness, as is the case of talented Milene Domingues, fico thinking on the importance of having a team of developers that works by disinterested friendship, contributors who although not professionals in their respective roles, the extreme action to fulfill their tasks, and thanks to these people is that it was possible to reach the end of this journey and reap the sweet fruits of success. The names of friends who have helped me in this difficult endeavor are on the page on the record, in the section "Thanks", why not play here.
Among my other Chess-related activities, I can highlight my analyses, some of whom received distinctions of some importance, as a TOP-10 in the world, in the evaluation conducted by 10 Grandmasters that constitute the jury Sahovski Informator (main international journal on chess), being the world champion, one of the jurors. Also had distinguished work as TOP-19 and TOP-26 of the world. I had the honor of being the first Brazilian to achieve a TOP-10, incidentally, at the same time, the FIFA World Youth Championship runner-up Giovanni Portilho Vescovi, 10 largest Brazilian FIDE rating of all time (2648), had a new TOP-15. This was in 2000. A few months later, I was finally by the talented John Naevius, Brazil's second largest ICCF rating of all time (2617), who won a TOP-5.
My results as an analyst and competitor in ICCF led some friends, and even some people I didn't know, believe I know something of this sport, which is why I received a few invitations and some indications very lisonjeiros, among which I would highlight these:
In 2004, was nominated by the International Grandmaster Of ICCF Salvador Homce Grows to represent Brazil at the chess Olympiad of ICCF.
In 2002, I was invited by Marius Ceteras – "Captain" of the Team Potaissa Turda, Romania – to play in the first team's Board, representing Romania in theEuropean League of the Champions-2002".
At that time, I've found myself away from competitions, so I felt compelled to decline the two invitations, since it would not be able to provide a performance that abide by the trust placed in me.
I was a precocious child in many respects intellectual, physical and emotional, but after just moving in the wrong direction at all. adult ;-) To 6 months of life I talked with good fluency. The 370 days, started walking. To 2 years, drew and bulk modelava school figures of people and animals, and were appropriate proportions, with figures with above average quality of drawings made by adults. To 11 years, wrote aphorisms on various topics. To 13, developed a method to calculate logarithms and taught my first lecture on astronomy. At 16, I participated for the first time an international chess tournament (the first phase of the International REFRIPAR), and had a satisfactory performance, with 4.5 points out of possible 7, same score of some international masters (got a draw with reigning South American Zonal Aron Antunes Corrêa and won the Brazilian champion Luiz Tavares da Silva, among others). The following year, played for the first time with an International Grandmaster, Russian Alexei Alexey Suetin, who visited Brazil before a delegation of Soviet athletes brought by the PC do B Was an interesting game ... in which I took on a violent attack on the roque, upon two sacrifices of parts, and got a winning position, as we confirm post mortem analysisbut his experience and talent beat my immaturity and he ended up winning me.
Tournaments of the ICCF, I had the good fortune to back-to-back undefeated champion in the first two international events I attended, I think I'm the only Brazilian retains unbeaten in tournament play of ICCF, not because I am a strong, but because I stopped playing J soon after these two events. My performance in these events I qualified for the semi-final of the World Cup finals of the ICCF, but this was in 2000, and abandoned the Chess shortly thereafter, without reaching the world participate.
I have never been a dedicated student. Just read about topics that interested me and attending school activities only to the extent necessary in order to not be disapproved. Conduct today realize how immature, but at the time I thought was correct, by explaining my aversion to the methodology adopted by the educational system, a system that prioritizes memorize and reproduce mechanically irrelevant information, rather than exercising discernment, critical thinking and creator.
My training is predominantly self-taught and with many shortcomings, even so I can use this little knowledge to achieve some interesting results. I am the author of some innovative work in several different fields, some of which are available here in Sigma (see selection of articles). Some of my works were awarded by, by, by IBECC SBPC, STEP magazine's TRIP and by other entities reasonably well known, but until 2007 nothing comparable to my performance in blindfold chess (TOP-1 in mate announced longer version) or as an analyst of chess (TOP-world TOP-10 world and 19 TOP-26 worldwide). In 2007 hit my first world record in investments, with 79 operations (manuals) in gold, which resulted in 91% of profit and the end was +1041% gain in 4 days. Still in 2007 hit another world record, with the highest monthly performance: an automatic system in 26 days, 4740% and in 2008 another world record: 3 days with 1609% in automatic system. There are some limitations on brokers, on the number of lots traded, which prevents it from achieving much greater than these performances. For the type of strategy, it is possible these are theoretical records near the ceiling that can be achieved, although with other strategies you can get significantly higher earnings.
Until 2004 my main focus were Psychometrics and cognition. In these two areas, I am the author of a mental structure model innovative and new techniques for Standardization of testing, and dozens of enhancements on techniques used in TRI and TCT.
I stopped participating in chess competitions in March 2000, because I never got to be a player as good as I would like to be, because chess is not provided me with a monetary reward to justify the time I devoted to the subject, because at the time I had me stressed out with accumulated work (courses, private lessons, simultaneous chess thinking material trading, analysis of newsletters, competitions etc.) and for reasons that I don't know exactly what they were, but as a whole decided it should me away, and I am satisfied with this decision. At first, it was as if he had removed a mountain on the shoulders, but a few months later there was an intense sense of loss and an overwhelming desire to get back to playing. But I managed to resist the temptation.
Between 2002 and 2004, my only activity was to give private lessons to the chess Group Chairman Catho, Dr. Thomas Case, in the range of 12:00 at lunch, 02:00 pm (he preferred to take advantage of this interim to feed the mind and the soul). Since 2004 I have had practically no contact with chess, except a talk at the Secretariat of education of my city, some friendly matches with the staff of the city, a match via email with the GM Alexandr Fier, some friendly matches with a professor at Unicamp that we hired to develop our platform for investments and some contacts with the GMs Alexandr Fier and Giovanni Vescovi on patrocinarei concurrent in 2008.
During my period of absence in 2004, his friend David Udbjørg flattered me with an invitation to be tutor to the Bulgarian champion sub-14 Ivailo Enchev. I didn't know if I was able, but I accepted, perhaps for vanity, but not arrived to begin training, and might not start, because whereas my removal (and maybe even if you weren't away), I probably would have more to learn from him than to teach.
Until 2005 I was also working with the creation and standardization of intelligence tests, personality and specific skills in the home of psychologist. It was a very fun and rewarding activity, in which I learned a lot of interesting thing, focusing on a statistical tool little widespread in Brazil, called "Item response theory (IRT). My first contact with TRI was in September 2003, the group L ' Countries, the Prometheus Society, in a conversation with our friend Fred Vaughan, President of the psychometric field of Prometheus, a Ph.d. in Experimental Psychology and has worked for more than 40 years with tests. He told me about his work item analysis of Mega Test, but only got to know a little better the subject by Frank Baker's book "The Basics of Item Response Theory" and the book "Psychometrics" Luiz Pasquali. I believe that the books could have been written with a bit more technical and scientific rigor care nevertheless serve as well to provide a first contact with the topic and arouse interest in the study of TRI. On the other hand, I'm finding the TRI itself much more interesting than I had tried at first (as compared to when Vaughan told me about the subject). In my article about "weaknesses in entrance exam of Sumbawa Island", I briefly my opinion about these books and about the TRI. Also aboard this question in "historical summary on tests" and "new standard of Sigma Test". After a few months of study of this tool, I have about a dozen improvements and innovations, most of which were implemented in 2006 and 2005 standards of Sigma Test.
Another place where I have known several people fascinating is Sigma Society, people of different cultures, of different parts of the world, with whom I have learned so much and at the same time exercised the English language. Continue dragging with difficulty that language, but much less difficulty than they had before Sigma exists. In Sigma, met people notable in altruism and in good character, they develop or have developed assistive work over several years, contributing to improve the quality of life of many people in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Also met bright people, who have many distinctions of the highest level in sports and artistic activities, intellectuals, and met a bunch of weirdos and egocentric, Craig biggio, prepotentes like me, which is always nice to talk about subjects useful or useless.
Sigma Society was founded in November 1999, and, as I ditched the Chess in March 2000, Sigma ended up getting most of the attention that before I devoted to chess, became for me a "daughter", which is rapidly growing and emancipating. The name "Sigma" is from a letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding to our "s" ' and represented by "s" (or "S"-uppercase). This symbol is used by statisticians to represent the "standard deviation" (standard deviation or sd). In Gaussian distribution representing the percentages of the population found in each track of QI, when you use the Stanford-Binet scale, it turns out that the standard deviation is 16, so this organization has the name "Sigma", to represent the number of standard deviations above the mean, corresponding to the score obtained on a standardized test of intellectual performance. Sigma III is the segment of the Sigma society aimed at people whose IQ is at least 3 standard deviations above the mean (148), Sigma IV is the thread for people whose IQ is at least 4 standard deviations above average (164) and so on. If instead of using the Stanford-Binet scale, we used the Cattell scale, with 24, the standard deviation IQ of hack to Sigma III would continue being at least 3 standard deviations above average, but in this case 3 standard deviations above average would correspond to a 172 IQ, because 24 x 3 + 100 = 172. Sigma IV would be cut in 4 standard deviations above average (196) and so on. For more details, see this article.
Our Organization has more than 200 members from 40 countries. It's still a small number to think in large enterprises, but it is enough to be comfortably the first steps in this direction.
Our goals proposed in the date of the Foundation remain in force and are now significantly expanded. Our current proposal consists of:
Meet the needs and interests of intellectuals from all areas, promoting cultural activities, leisure, educational, charitable, sporting, artistic, scientific, literary, and every genre of event that will help to elevate the human spirit.
Investigate scientific problems, political, economic, educational and other, through discussions, writing articles and reviews various, always with the purpose to present efficient solutions, or offer guidance on subjects of general interest, or disseminate knowledge that can be useful to people.
Since mid-2005, my activities boil down to investment, and since October 2006 I focus almost exclusively on the development of automated systems for investment. Currently I am a holder of some world records in the financial area.
The "miracle" compound interest makes an unparalleled rate of growth and, through this activity in the financial market, it will be possible to carry out several projects that would otherwise be impossible to construct, some of which are mentioned in my interview with cutting edge TV, in addition to other projects more selfish, as investment in nano-robots, stem cells, cloning, and other technologies that allow me to prolong healthy life for a few million years, maybe more.

It is also frequently write "hindenburg" (with an "n" instead of "m", which in fact would be the correct form; the mistake was committed on my birth certificate:-)). Often appears "Bemba COLORA lyrics Hindemburg" instead of "Hindemburg Bemba COLORA lyrics". There are also other variations, such as "hidenbug", "hidenburg", "hildenburg" etc. But the sum of all these bad cases should not pass a few dozen.
