Weight Loss & Fitness Camp Before & After
Samantha lost 96lbs at Weight Crafters
"I initially signed up for 4 weeks, as I had a substantial amount of weight to lose and just was looking to get a head start on bettering myself and getting myself on track to start my career. I ended up staying much longer and have returned many times since I left for maintenance.
The trainers were fantastic, although there were other people in the training session I never felt neglected. The food was delicious and the staff was knowledgeable and attentive to everyone's varying needs.
I would recommend this fat camp for anyone no matter how much weight needed to be lost or how young or old. Very knowledgeable, professional, and caring team."

How much fat weight can you lose at Weight Crafters weight loss & fat camp?
This question, when isolated to that one specific point, is often asked inappropriately because it only focuses on one outcome and not on the reality of what the goals of a fat camp program actually are. Fat loss during your stay is not the only priority of any legitimate fat camp that understands fitness, nutrition and overall wellness. The appropriate questions to ask are:
- How much body fat can I reduce over a period of time?
- How much lean muscle can I build over a period of time?
- How many inches of mass can I deduct over a period of time?
- How much inflammation can I reduce over a period of time?
- How much can I improve my cardio, my strength, my endurance, my flexibility and mobility over a period of time?
- How much weight can be lost over a period of time?
- Will I be able to maintain my progress when I return home?
- Etc.
The focus is not just on losing weight at the program, but to build the skills, knowledge, discipline and will to live a healthy and fit lifestyle when you leave the weight loss or fat camp program. Each person is different and so their results will be different. In most cases, the determination of the client and their ability to work hard and focus is the main factor. In other cases, they may be limited by hormonal issues, physical limitations or emotional disorders.
The focus here at Weight Crafters fat camp for Adults & Seniors is to provide the tools, the education and the support to accomplish your goals. No program can tell you with certainty what your outcome will be - and if they imply that they can, then you probably want to move on to the next place, in our humble opinion.
Weight Crafters is A+ Rated by the Better Business Bureau.

The earliest fat camps in modern culture were called "fat farms", and were multipurpose rehab centers, where individuals could get away from the world to quit drinking, or smoking, or lose fat and weight.

More Information About
weight loss for Adults
In a nutshell, maintaining a healthy weight offers the following benefits:
- Slowing or preventing the onset of Type 2 Diabetes
- Improvement in Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Improved cardiovascular health
- Reduced joint pain and increased mobility
weight loss is the main treatment for obesity.
There is substantial evidence that a 7-10% weight loss can prevent progression from pre-diabetes to Type 2 Diabetes. A 5-15% weight reduction can also manage cardiovascular risk for diabetics. And even a 10% reduction in weight can in some cases reverse Type 2 Diabetes into full remission. [1]
Health risks are reduced, [2] fitness is improved, [3] and diabetes may be delayed with weight loss in overweight or obese people. People with osteoarthritis of the knee may benefit from it since it can reduce pain and increase mobility. Hypertension can decrease with weight loss.
Depression, stress, or boredom may contribute to weight gain, [4] and if this is the case, individuals are encouraged to seek medical attention. According to a 2010 study, dieters who had a full night's sleep lost twice as much weight as those with inadequate sleep. [5]
Over the long term, most dieters regain weight. [6] The Dietary Guidelines for Americans state that those who achieve and manage a healthy weight successfully do so by carefully consuming only the necessary number of calories and being physically active. [7]
Adopting a diet in which you consume fewer calories than you burn helps you lose weight. [8] Dietary and lifestyle changes must be permanent however, to make weight loss permanent. Counseling and exercise by themselves do not result in weight loss. Dieting alone can result in weight loss, but only combining diet with exercise provides the best results. [9]

Wills - Good and Bad
Where is the Missing Will?
More than 40 wills were submitted to the probate court, with a multitude of potential heirs each claiming to be the true recipients of the estate of Business Owner who passed away in 1976. With a $2.5 billion estate at stake, there was intense interest in the decision of the court.
After extensive review of the 40 documents, the court finally determined that none of the 40 wills were valid. Because there was no valid will, the court divided the $2.5 billion estate among 22 relatives. Court costs, attorney costs and estate taxes were enormous, but the 22 heirs still each received millions of dollars.
Why is a Will Important?
There are at least seven reasons for creating a will. A "peace of mind" estate plan starts with your will. The will passes your property to family, friends and favored organizations, could direct distribution of a recent inheritance, may fix errors in living trust funding, allows you to select a guardian, enables you to disinherit a child or other relative, permits you to select your executor and may help with a simplified probate.
1. Transfer of Property: There are some types of property that are best transferred by will. Many types of personal assets are difficult to transfer through a living trust or are not appropriate for a "pay on death" transfer. Because vehicles and other personal assets are likely to be bought and sold, it is much easier to keep vehicles, furniture, collections and other items in the probate estate and transfer them by will.
2. Potential Inheritance: You might be planning to receive an inheritance from a parent or other relative, but the inheritance could be delayed by the probate process, potential estate issues or other reasons. Therefore, when you finally receive title to the property, there may not be a convenient time or opportunity to transfer the assets into a revocable living trust. As a result, the inheritance will form part of your estate.
There also have been cases in which a person passes away in a tragic accident. The estate may receive an insurance settlement or a claim under a wrongful death action. These assets would become part of the probate estate and are transferred under the residuary clause of your will.
3. Living Trust Errors: A living trust is a very appropriate way of avoiding the probate process. However, in too many cases a person has a valid living trust but has not properly transferred the real estate, securities accounts or other assets to the trust. As a result, the property that has not been legally transferred to the trust will be part of the probate estate covered by your will.
4. Guardian for Minors: The selection of a guardian for minor children is done through your will. Most states do not permit you to use a living trust (there are a few exceptions) for this purpose, so it is very important to designate the guardian in your will. When you create the will and designate the guardian of the person, it is also quite common to establish a family trust for the minor children and appoint the trustee.
5. Disinherit Someone: In nearly all states, it is possible to disinherit a child or other heir. Many states require you to state that a child or other heir is disinherited or receives a modest inheritance. If you do not name a child in your will, he or she may inherit a share of the estate. The appropriate place to explain that disinheritance or explain why the inheritance is a nominal amount (such as $1.00) is in your will.
6. Select the Executor: Your executor is a key person for a successful estate property transition. The executor will inventory your estate, advertise for creditors, pay bills and taxes, submit your will to the probate court and obtain the court's approval for the final distribution. Your will is the document in which you name your executor. Even if you have a revocable living trust with a trustee and a successor, it is essential to select an executor who will manage your probate property.
7. Simplify Probate: In many states it is possible for people who pass away with modest to moderate resources to have a simplified or summary probate. This permits your executor to manage your property and make distribution of it with very minimal contact with the probate courts. The executor will follow the directions in your will and distribute your property accordingly. In most cases, this will simplify administration and reduce your estate costs.
Good and Bad Wills
As was the case in the estate of Business Owner, there are many submitted wills that are not deemed valid or legal. In order to have a valid or legal will, you need to comply with the state law requirements for wills. While there is some variation between the states, most states will follow several guidelines.
1. Legal Age: In most states you must be 18 years old to sign a will.
2. Sound Mind: As we become more senior, we do not have as clear a mind as we had back in our youth. Most states permit you to create a will if you have a "lucid interval," understand the nature of your property and the fact that the will is going to direct the transfer of that property to your selected recipients.
3. Typed or Printed: A will normally is either typed or printed. While some states permit handwritten or other types of wills, the vast majority of wills will be typed or printed and will contain at least one substantive transfer of property.
4. Date and Sign: Your will must be dated and signed. The date is essential in order to make certain that this is your final will. Many individuals might write and sign two or more wills during a lifetime. Only your final will is going to be used by the probate court to distribute your property.
5. Witnesses: Under your state law, you will need to sign your will in the presence and hearing of two witnesses. Your witnesses must be adults who are of sound mind and should not be beneficiaries under the will. They need to be told that this is a will, but you do not need to disclose the contents of your will to the witnesses.
6. Self-Proving Will: In some states, it is permissible to have a notary or an affidavit witness form in which the will is either notarized or the person pledges under perjury that this is a valid will. If the will is "self-proved," it will simplify the probate process. Ordinarily, the witness is not required to testify in the probate court with a self-proved will.

Two thirds of households in America have air conditioners, according to the U.S. Department of Energy — and they spend a total of $11 billion each year running them.
Our guess is that most of those households (which may include yours) wouldn't mind spending a little less to keep their homes cool. Because, as great as it feels to escape the heat of summer, having some extra money in your pocket might feel even better.
Here are five tips to help you beat the heat without having the AC on — and the meter running — all day long:
- Ventilate, ventilate, ventilate. The Department of Energy says that ventilation is the least expensive and most energy-efficient way to cool your home. One of the best ways to do this is to open windows to create a cross-wise breeze indoors. It's best to do this in the mornings or evenings when the outside air is coolest. After all, flooding your home with hot afternoon air isn't going to appease anyone.
- Get those fans going. Ceiling fans can provide enough cooling power for you to raise the thermostat a few degrees without noticing the difference. Smaller ones can help as well, but make sure you turn fans off when you're not around — they cool people, not rooms. Finally, whole-house fans, which bring in air and exhaust it through the attic, can help cool things down even on the hottest days. They should be installed by a professional, though.
- Don't unwittingly turn the 'heat' on. Are you making something in your oven? Cooking something on the stove? You're also adding heat to your house. Even clothes dryers and dishwashers can create unwanted warmth, so use those appliances in the morning or evening. When it's time to cook, try grilling outside — or eating more cold foods. They can help lower your internal body temperature.
- Remember the little things — they add up. Keep your curtains closed on the sunny side of your home. Turn off lights whenever you can, because they produce heat. And, if it's warmer outside than inside, keep your windows closed.
- Bigger projects can have big benefits, too. Make sure your attic and walls are insulated well, with cracks and openings sealed so warm air doesn't leak into your home. Check your ducts, too. Air loss through ducts can account for as much as 30 percent of a cooling system's energy consumption, according to the Department of Energy. And, if you don't already have a programmable thermostat, installing and setting one can help you save up to 10 percent on heating and cooling costs, says the Department of Energy.
If you're already following all of these tips and you're still too hot, here are a couple more options: Put on a cool, damp shirt or apply a cold pack (a sandwich bag of ice cubes or a bag of frozen vegetables inside a towel work well) to your forehead and wrists.
Of course, you could just bite the bullet and turn the AC back on. We won't judge — we promise. Just be sure you've replaced the air filter and serviced your unit so it's running efficiently.

In consideration of the services of Mountain Trip International LLC, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as "MTI"), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge MTI, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
1. I acknowledge that mountaineering in foreign countries entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
The risks include, among other things: the hazards of walking on uneven terrain and slips and falls; being struck by rock fall, icefall or other objects dislodged or thrown from above; the use of climbing ropes and equipment; the forces of nature, including lightning, weather changes and avalanche; the risks of falling off the rock, mountain or into a crevasse; the risks of exposure to insect bites; encounters with animals and wildlife; the risk of altitude and cold including hypothermia, frostbite, acute mountain sickness, cerebral and pulmonary edema; travel in remote areas with poor or no access to emergency and/or medical services; consumption of food or drink; and improper lifting or carrying; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity. Foreign countries have their own laws and standards of acceptable conduct; food and water related illnesses; foreign political, legal, social, transportation, health, and economic conditions; different standards of design, safety, and maintenance of buildings, public places, and conveyances; local & medical facilities and providers; weather conditions; criminal activity, environmental hazards; standards of living and health standards that are not equivalent to life in the United States.
Furthermore, MTI employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather, other environmental conditions. They might misjudge whether the terrain is safe for travel or where or when an avalanche may occur. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless MTI from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of MTI's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of MTI.
4. Should MTI or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.
6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against MTI, I agree to do so solely in the state of Colorado, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against MTI on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.
I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.

Danish Modern: Design for Living
Iconic examples of 20th century furniture design come to the Figge this spring with the exhibition Danish Modern: Design for Living. Organized by the Museum of Danish America in Elk Horn, Iowa, Danish Modern brings together a wonderful selection of the most influential pieces of post-war furniture design.
This reintroduction to Danish Modern is timely. The best examples now bring astronomical prices at auction, and online merchants such as Design Within Reach and Dot&Bo make some of the best designs available for every budget. As evidenced by stylish set designs of the popular AMC series Mad Men, Danish furniture design played a major role in American interior décor during the 1950s and '60s, where it was perfectly at home in the glass and steel skyscrapers of Manhattan and the ubiquitous pastel painted, single-level ranch homes of suburbia. Danish Modern: Design for Living reminds us of how intertwined Danish design and our daily lives were in the post-war era, and invites us to look ahead by looking back at some of the most forward-thinking designs of the era.

King of Coins
Make unpressured choices, dream big dreams -- and be generous.
Representing the energy of a King, this card in the suit of Coins or Pentacles displays one who has accomplished a lot in life and has arranged his or her affairs so that he has much good to show for it. Possessing a practical genius in the ways of the world, he loves to build things. Because he's so good at deal-making, this character is privy to the biggest deals in town. He has the power to make or break people financially. Although this does not always win him love, it certainly earns him respect.
In previous centuries this card referred to the myth of Midas, who loved gold so much that he was cursed so that everything he touched turned to gold. One day his daughter reached out to him and was turned into a golden statue. This story illustrates the downside of letting material security take too much precedence.
While the character of this card understands the value of wealth, including the burden it produces, he or she is mature enough to keep things in perspective. Even though the suit of Coins represents the material realm, this King is not just a materialist -- his sovereignty reflects higher values, as well as general welfare and prosperity.
In the Advice Position
Project all the confidence you can muster, as if you already know your plans are working and your goal is secured.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
The King of Coins in this position advises you to behave as if you already were a success. Project confidence that your plans and goals are in the process of unfolding perfectly.
Make your moves with authority and trust in your actions without waiting for acknowledgment or approval. Soon enough you will receive blessing after blessing. If you can learn to feel that kind of confidence in your body and get comfortable with it as your natural state, you will attract the support you desire.

Sympathetic Nerve Blocks for Pain
A sympathetic nerve block is believed by many pain health care providers to be an effective method for controlling chronic pain. However, there is not a great deal of medical evidence to show whether these blocks are actually helpful. This therapy targets the sympathetic nervous system, a series of nerves that spread out from your spine to your body to help control several involuntary body functions, or body functions that you have no control over. These include blood flow, digestion, and sweating.
When can a nerve block be used?
A sympathetic nerve block can be used to diagnose or treat pain involving the nerves of the sympathetic nervous system. Examples of conditions for which a sympathetic nerve block might be used include:
Pain from spasms in the blood vessels
Complex regional pain syndrome, previously called reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia
Raynaud's syndrome
Some types of chronic stomach pain
Excessive sweating
Sympathetic nerve block procedure
The location of your pain usually determines where you'll receive the nerve block. Your sympathetic nerves come together outside your spine area in thick networks of nerves called ganglions. If you have pain in the upper part of your body, you may get pain relief from blocking the stellate ganglion in your neck area. If you have pain in the lower part of your body, a ganglion near the lower spine may be targeted with a lumbar sympathetic block.
This is what may happen during a sympathetic block procedure:
You will meet with a pain management specialist experienced in conducting nerve blocks.
Your health care provider will ask about all the medicines you're taking, including vitamins and supplements, and whether you have any allergies.
You may be asked to fast for about 6 hours before the procedure.
The medical team may start an intravenous line and monitor your vital signs carefully.
You may be given some medicine through the IV line to make you relaxed and sleepy.
Before the actual block, the area in your neck or back will be made numb with a local anesthetic.
X-rays (or fluoroscopy) may be used to help the specialist find the right ganglion.
Once the ganglion is located, it is blocked by injecting it with an anesthetic solution, or sometimes other chemicals are used.
After nerve block treatment
A sympathetic nerve block is a relatively safe procedure. You can usually go home afterward and return to your normal activities after a day of rest. If you had IV sedation, you'll probably need to have someone drive you home.
Side effects after a sympathetic block may include temporary soreness, a feeling of warmth, or some weakness. If you've received a nerve block in the stellate ganglion, you may experience some temporary voice changes, eyelid droop, or difficulty swallowing. Until swallowing is back to normal, avoid large bites of food and sip liquids carefully.
Physical therapy, talk therapy, and pain medicine may all be part of your treatment along with sympathetic block. In most cases, you will be given a series of blocks to get the best possible response.
Sympathetic blocks don't work for everyone. Also, the pain relief they give may lessen over time. But for some, a sympathetic block may provide weeks or months of pain relief.

You need to grant and revoke access to Workplace as people join and leave your organization. This set of guides introduces the concepts of account provisioning and deactivation, and outlines how to integrate with your Active Directory or Cloud Identity Provider to provision accounts for your employees.
Why Provisioning Matters
To connect your organization, it's important that employees can find and tag each other when collaborating. In Workplace, employee accounts can be searched, discovered and added to groups by their peers and managers, even before they start using their account for the first time. This is only possible if accounts are provisioned in advance.
Why Deactivating Matters
When employees leave your company, it's crucial that they no longer have access to the content on Workplace.
If you're using Single Sign-On (SSO), you can prevent access for a specific account when an employee leaves, but this doesn't deactivate the account, and the account holder may still receive email notifications from Workplace. Other employees will continue to be able to find and message that account, with no indication that the individual has left, which is a poor user experience.
To properly ensure that ex-employees are excluded from seeing your content, Workplace supports and recommends implementing account deactivation.

Orthodontic braces were historically associated with teenagers. Today, an increasing number of adults are choosing to wear braces to straighten their teeth and correct malocclusions (bad bites). In fact, it is now estimated that almost one third of all current orthodontic patients are adults.
Orthodontic braces are predictable, versatile and incredibly successful at realigning the teeth. Braces work in the same way regardless of the age of the patient, but the treatment time is greatly reduced in patients who are still experiencing jaw growth and have not been affected by gum disease. In short, an adult can experience the same beautiful end results as a teenager, but treatment often takes longer.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic braces?
Absolutely! Crooked or misaligned teeth look unsightly, which in many cases leads to poor self esteem and a lack of self confidence. Aside from poor aesthetics, improperly aligned teeth can also cause difficulties biting, chewing and articulating clearly. Generally speaking, orthodontists agree that straight teeth tend to be healthier teeth.
Straight teeth offer a multitude of health and dental benefits including:
Fortunately, orthodontic braces have been adapted and modified to make them more convenient for adults. There are now a wide range of fixed and removable orthodontic devices available, depending on the precise classification of the malocclusion.
The most common types of malocclusion are underbite (lower teeth protrude further than upper teeth), overbite (upper teeth protrude further than lower teeth) and overcrowding, where there is insufficient space on the arches to accommodate the full complement of adult teeth.
Prior to recommending specific orthodontic treatment, the orthodontist will recommend treatment of any pre-existing dental conditions such as gum disease, excess plaque and tooth decay. Orthodontic braces can greatly exacerbate any or all of these conditions.
What are the main types of orthodontic braces?
The following are some of the most popular orthodontic braces:

When you were a kid, did you experience your eyes become reddish and all of a sudden, someone close to you was also suffering from it? Your eyes, as well as those who contracted it, got itchy and swollen, right? Then it must have been that you were suffering from pink eye.
Pink eye is well known as conjunctivitis and it is the infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva or the transparent membrane that serves as a covering for the white part of the eye called the sclera that lines the eyelid. In addition to inflammation, there is usually tearing in the eyes that emits a sticky discharge which develops into a crust while one is sleeping, making it difficult for the patient to open their eyes in the morning.
One thing about the pink eye, which could affect one or both eyes, is that it is highly contagious. While it is more common in children, adults can also be victims of this eye condition. Here are the 3 major causes of pink eye:
Streptococci and staphylococci are bacteria types that are most responsible for pink eye. However, chlamydia and gonococci can also cause pink eye. It is accompanied by serious eye pain, itching, swelling, redness, and discharge. The spread of bacterial pink eye is usually as a result of using personal items of infected parties, such as makeup or makeup tools that have been infected with bacteria or putting dirty hands in the eyes. If not treated, it can last for more than 10 days, but if treated, it should resolve in less than 3 days.
Pink eye caused by allergies is followed by serious itching and tearing of the eyes. Pain is minimal, but it typically comes with quite a bit of discomfort. Most of the time, pink eye is accompanied by sneezing or coughing. Allergens that trigger pink eyes include grass, dust, pollen, mold, and ragweed. Allergy based pink eye is not usually contagious.
Viruses such as the adenoviruses and herpes virus are the most common causes of pink eye. When a virus is the cause, there is usually a lot of teary discharge accompanied by nasal congestion, puffy eyelids, runny nose, and sharp pain. It is usually contracted from cough and sneeze droplets from an infected individual. It can take as long as 2 weeks to treat depending on the seriousness of the infection.
General Symptoms of Pink Eye:
Itchy eyes
Redness of the sclera
Watery discharge
Swollen eyelids
Hazy or blurry vision
Oversensitivity to light
The best way to prevent pink eye is by practicing good hygiene which includes:
Avoid putting dirty hands in your eyes
Make it a habit to wash your hands often
Avoid sharing towels and other personal items
Do not use dirty items
Changing your pillow cover regularly
Do not leave a makeup item open for too long
Avoid sharing makeup items like eyeliners, mascara, etc.
The treatment of pink eye is dependant on its underlying cause. If it is caused by a virus, you just might have to wait for the virus to run its course which could last for about four to seven days. Virus caused pink eye could be easily contracted so it is imperative to try and prevent further spreading. Viruses cannot be cured by antibiotics, but some antiviral drugs could be helpful.
Antibiotics are most effective against pink eye caused by bacteria as they reduce the lifespan of these bacteria and could come in the form of eye drops or pills. Based on the doctor's prescription, an eye drop should be administered about four to six times daily. It is important you finish using your drugs even after the disappearance of symptoms.
To deal with pink eyes caused by allergies, the allergy should be treated. Once treated, pink eye should disappear. It is also important to avoid allergens as much as possible so as to avoid pink eye.
Whenever the symptoms of pink eye emerge, the best preventive measure is to stay at home until the watery discharge ceases to avoid the spread of the bacteria or virus. You should also visit your doctor immediately to begin treatment. While mild pink eyes generally go away on its own, some of the more serious forms can cause a scar on the cornea.

Scientology ministers perform many of the same types of ceremonies and services that ministers, rabbis and priests of other religions perform.
Worship Services
Each Sunday, and sometimes on other days of the week as well, the Church's Chaplain or another minister conducts a public worship service which is open to both members and non-members of the Church.
These services comprise a recitation of the Creed of Scientology, sermons, congregational auditing and prayer. As such they provide an occasion for everyone to commune with the Infinite and revitalize one spiritually.
In addition Scientology congregations celebrate weddings and namings with their own formal ceremonies and mark the passing of their fellows with funeral rites.
Scientology services, which address spirituality and God in accordance with the religion's teachings, impart a special quality to these occasions.

The BiBiServ team discontinued the online service for TALP. TALP doesn't run on our current server environment anymore due to a new hardware architecture / OS upgrade.
TALP is a tool that can generate termination proofs for logic programs automatically. It transforms a well-moded logic program into a term rewriting system (TRS) such that termination of the TRS implies termination of the logic program under Prolog's selection rule. It uses the CiME system for proving termination of the generated TRS.
In the last decade, the automatic termination analysis of logic programs has been receiving increasing attention. Among other methods, techniques have been proposed that transform a well-moded logic program into a TRS so that termination of the TRS implies termination of the logic program under Prolog's selection rule. In [OHL:CLA:MAR:1999] it has been shown that the two-stage transformation obtained by combining the transformations of Ganzinger and Waldmann [GAN:WAL:1993] into deterministic conditional TRSs with a further transformation into TRSs (first described by Chtourou and Rusinowitch in an unpublished manuscript) yields the transformation proposed by Arts and Zantema [ART:ZAN:1996], and that these three transformations are equally powerful. In most cases simplification orderings are not sufficient to prove termination of the TRSs obtained by the two-stage transformation. However, if one uses the dependency pair method [ART:GIE:2000] of Arts and Giesl in combination with polynomial interpretations instead, then most of the examples described in the literature can automatically be proven terminating.
Based on these findings, we have implemented a tool for proving termination of logic programs automatically. This tool consists of a front-end which implements the two-stage transformation and a back-end, the CiME system, for proving termination of the generated TRS. Experiments show that our tool can compete with other tools (e.g. TermiLog or TerminWeb) based on sophisticated norm-based approaches.
