Trending is not only used in a financial it is also used in many other areas.

    Even an appropriate chart type is selected, issues such as scaling, suitable titles and legend types must be considered carefully to ensure effective communication of the data so that it can be interpreted to aid decision making. Data is usually presented in digital table form, sometimes printed out only from the spreadsheet. While this presentation style provides detailed figures, it is not the efficient way to provide and disseminate information. It may be emphasizing some key information, or to emphasize the relationship between certain data or to identify trends. Appropriately presenting data in the form of graphs or graphs can be a useful analysis tool and this can facilitate the decision-making process if the data is effectively interpreted.

    Periodic Encephalopathy (CTE)

    September 28, 2002. No this isn’t the day that Title IX came into play, or the day that Roger Bannister ran a four-minute mile, or the day that LeBron James decided he would leave the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat.

After this day, the world of football would be turned upside down. Webster died of heart failure, but there was more to it than what met the eye. Webster was the first confirmed case of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
