Major Section: RULE-CLASSES
See rule-classes for a general discussion of rule classes and
how they are used to build rules from formulas. Some example
corollary formulas from which
:type-prescription rules might be
built are:
Examples: (implies (nth n lst) is of type characterp (and (character-listp lst) provided the two hypotheses can (< n (length lst))) be established by type reasoning (characterp (nth n lst))).To specify the term whose type (see type-set) is described by the rule, provide that term as the value of the
(implies (demodulize a lst 'value ans) is (and (atom a) either a nonnegative integer or (true-listp lst) of the same type as ans, provided (member-equal a lst)) the hyps can be established by type (or (and reasoning (integerp (demodulize a lst 'value ans)) (>= (demodulize a lst 'value ans) 0)) (equal (demodulize a lst 'value ans) ans))).
:typed-term field
of the rule class object.
General Form: (implies hyps (or type-restriction1-on-pat ... type-restrictionk-on-pat (equal pat var1) ... (equal pat varj)))where
pat is the application of some function symbol to some
arguments, each
type-restrictioni-on-pat is a term involving
pat and
containing no variables outside of the occurrences of
pat, and each
vari is one of the variables of
pat. Generally speaking, the
type-restriction terms ought to be terms that inform us as to the
type of
pat. Ideally, they should be ``primitive recognizing
expressions'' about
pat; see compound-recognizer.
If the
:typed-term is not provided in the rule class object, it is
computed heuristically by looking for a term in the conclusion whose
type is being restricted. An error is caused if no such term is
Roughly speaking, the effect of adding such a rule is to inform the
ACL2 typing mechanism that
pat has the type described by the
conclusion, when the hypotheses are true. In particular, the type
pat is within the union of the types described by the several
disjuncts. The ``type described by''
(equal pat vari) is the type
More operationally, when asked to determine the type of a term that
is an instance of
pat, ACL2 will first attempt to establish the
hypotheses. This is done by type reasoning alone, not rewriting!
Of course, if some hypothesis is to be forced, it is so
treated; see force and see case-split. Provided the
hypotheses are established by type reasoning, ACL2 then unions the
types described by the
type-restrictioni-on-pat terms together
with the types of those subexpressions of
pat identified by the
vari. The final type computed for a term is the intersection of
the types implied by each applicable rule. Type prescription rules
may be disabled.
Because only type reasoning is used to establish the hypotheses of
:type-prescription rules, some care must be taken with the
hypotheses. Suppose, for example, that the non-recursive function
my-statep is defined as
(defun my-statep (x) (and (true-listp x) (equal (length x) 2)))and suppose
(my-statep s) occurs as a hypothesis of a
:type-prescription rule that is being considered for use in the
proof attempt for a conjecture with the hypothesis
(my-statep s).
Since the hypothesis in the conjecture is rewritten, it will become
the conjunction of
(true-listp s) and
(equal (length s) 2).
Those two terms will be assumed to have type
t in the context in
which the
:type-prescription rule is tried. But type reasoning will
be unable to deduce that
(my-statep s) has type
t in this
context. Thus, either
my-statep should be disabled
(see disable) during the proof attempt or else the occurrence
(my-statep s) in the
:type-prescription rule should be
replaced by the conjunction into which it rewrites.
While this example makes it clear how non-recursive predicates can
cause problems, non-recursive functions in general can cause
problems. For example, if
(mitigate x) is defined to be
(if (rationalp x) (1- x) x) then the hypothesis
(pred (mitigate s)) in the conjecture will rewrite, opening
mitigate and splitting the conjecture into two subgoals, one in
(rationalp s) and
(pred (1- x)) are assumed and the
other in which
(not (rationalp s)) and
(pred x) are assumed.
(pred (mitigate s)) will not be typed as
t in either of
these contexts. The moral is: beware of non-recursive functions
occuring in the hypotheses of
:type-prescription rules.
Because of the freedom one has in forming the conclusion of a
type-prescription, we have to use heuristics to recover the pattern,
pat, whose type is being specified. In some cases our heuristics
may not identify the intended term and the
rule will be rejected as illegal because the conclusion is not of
the correct form. When this happens you may wish to specify the
directly. This may be done by using a suitable rule class token.
In particular, when the token
:type-prescription is used it means
ACL2 is to compute pat with its heuristics; otherwise the token
should be of the form
(:type-prescription :typed-term pat), where
pat is the term whose type is being specified.
The defun event may generate a
:type-prescription rule. Suppose
fn is the name of the function concerned. Then
(:type-prescription fn) is the rune given to the
type-prescription, if any, generated for
fn by
defun. (The
trivial rule, saying
fn has unknown type, is not stored, but
defun still allocates the rune and the corollary of this rune is
known to be

When I'm not working on The Big Bang Theory, I work on other TV shows. One of those shows gets a lot of bad press. Sometimes, when I read the very unkind things written about that show, I'll remember the words of a sleazy music manager I was briefly associated with back in my rock 'n' roll days. The guy was right out of central casting. Bald, middle-aged, pot-bellied and sucking on a cheap cigar, he would sit behind his metal desk in his ratty little office and pontificate to dumbass musicians hungry for career guidance. One of his speeches has remained vivid in my memory for thirty-five years. He said, to a soon-to- be-nonexistent, dumbass power trio I was then a part of, "Boyz, if halfs da peoples loves ya, and halfs da peoples hates ya, you're a star!" At the time I had no idea what he was talking about. It wasn't until fifteen years later when I was writing for a TV show called Roseanne that I figured it out. I was once again reminded of all this when the star of the show I was talking about earlier came out for a curtain call in front of a packed studio audience. They went wild with applause. I looked at the man taking the bow and thought, "there is a big star." Then I looked up at the screaming, cheering audience and thought, "there are halfs da peoples."

FIVB signs Partnership Deal with Honda Motor Europe
St. Petersburg, Russia, May 27, 2013 - The FIVB (Fédération Internationale de Volleyball) announced on Monday a groundbreaking sponsorship deal with Japanese car manufacturer, Honda, who will become the first ever FIVB official partner for professional and elite volleyball and beach volleyball for the next four years.
This agreement is the first important partnership reached under the new leadership of Dr. Ary S. Graça F°. Honda, as the official partner, will sponsor major world class events such as the Women's Volleyball World Championship Italy 2014, the World League, the World Grand Prix, the Club World Championships and the Beach Volleyball World Championships, which will be held in Poland from July 1-7, 2013.
This partnership is concluded under the FIVB Global Partnership Strategy, part of a wider FIVB Partnership Programme that aims to integrate a select few brands with exclusive rights across both volleyball and beach volleyball FIVB events.
FIVB President Dr. Graça commented on the agreement: "For the first time ever, the FIVB has signed a partnership with an international brand across both disciplines. This step represents a major milestone for the FIVB and it is part of the new era for the Federation following the success of our sport at London 2012. Honda will help us to accomplish our mission to ensure excellence in all aspects of the sport. The FIVB is committed to constantly innovating our sport to make it more spectacular, entertaining and engaging for fans, whichever way they consume the sport. Our aim is to provide sports entertainment for live audiences through all forms of traditional and new media platforms."
Miroslaw Przedpelski, FIVB Executive Member with responsibility for marketing, added: "We are delighted with this new partnership with Honda. There are a lot of similarities between our two organisations. I believe that Honda chose volleyball because it is a professional, well led and organised sport. Honda's brand awareness will be enhanced by association with our global and youthful sport which has strong family values. We are looking forward to working with Honda and helping them achieve their international brand objectives."
Over the past few years, volleyball has witnessed unprecedented growth. At London 2012, volleyball was one of the top five Olympic sports. More than 10% of all tickets sold at the Games were to volleyball matches. The FIVB, with its 220 affiliated National Federations, is the largest International Sports Federation in the world.

A combination of factors has led to a particularly problematic influenza season across the nation and in South Carolina where more than 20 flu-associated deaths have been reported, two of which were in Aiken County.
Enough cases of flu and flu-like illnesses have been reported in the state that the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has classified influenza activity as "widespread," joining 39 other states with a similar level of activity.
Since Dec. 30, Aiken County has reported 20 positive rapid flu tests. Close to 35,900 positive rapid flu tests have been reported throughout the state since Sept. 30.
Statewide, there have been more than 1,000 flu hospitalizations since September, 198 last week alone. There have been a total of 22 flu-associated deaths since September with three deaths reported last week.
In the same period last year, there was only one flu-associated death, according to SCDHEC spokesman Jim Beasley.
About 10,000 suspected influenza cases have been reported in the United States this flu season. Of those, almost 3,000 have been confirmed as positive for an influenza strain, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A public health emergency has been declared in Boston, where 18 people have died.
"This season is about the worst I've seen in years," said Dr. Fredric Woriax, an internal medicine physician with Margaret J. Weston Medical Center.
Several factors are believed to contribute to the severity of the season, he added, including the unusually early start of the season, the strength of the predominant influenza strain, and the large number of the population who are not vaccinated or who wait to get vaccinated.
Flu activity typically peaks in February, so health officials are concerned that a large number of cases have been reported early on.
The last time a conventional flu season started this early was the winter of 2003-04, which proved to be one of the most lethal seasons in the past 35 years with more than 48,000 deaths. The dominant type of flu then is the same one seen this year.
The predominant strain is H3N2, which was also the predominant strain last year.
"When H3N2 is the predominant strain, we have a larger number of cases," Beasley said. "With H1N1 (swine flu), the number of cases is considerably smaller."
Last year's flu season was considered "extremely a-typical," according to SCDHEC. In fact, CDC reported last year's season set a new record for the lowest and shortest peak for influenza-like illness since its surveillance began.
Beasley said this season is possibly the most severe in a decade. "Get vaccinated. I don't know that I can say it any simpler. It just makes good sense to protect yourself," he said.
Flu shots are available at many physicians' offices, health clinics and pharmacies.
"I highly recommend that those who are 65 or older, pregnant women, and those with chronic health problems like diabetes and COPD should be on the front line to get vaccinated," Woriax said. "We do have a lot of vaccines."
The shot takes at least seven days to be effective, so it will not protect those who already are ill with the flu.
Flu symptoms to be on the look out for are fever, nasal congestion or stuffiness, dry coughing, body aches, and general lethargy and malaise.
The best ways to prevent the spread of flu are to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, wash hands often and thoroughly and stay home when you are sick.

|HOF Class of '03
Steve Midas, a member of the men's soccer program entered the Athletic Hall of Fame as the All-Time leader in goals scored at any of the five Federal Service Academies. In addition, at the time of his induction, he held five Academy Records. Midas led the Blue & Gray in scoring during all four seasons in a Mariner's uniform and helped the team compile an overall record of 25-26-6. His scoring totals of 72 career goals and 42 career assists (totaling 186 points) are all still individual soccer records at Kings Point. The next closest athlete on the All-Time Points List sits at 134, over a 50 point difference from Midas' totals. He also owns season records for goals (26) and points (62).
In addition to statistical records, Midas was awarded numerous accolades for his excellence on the pitch. He was a three-time All-New York State Collegiate selection, an All-New York/New Jersey Conference All-Star, and a Suburban Conference All-Star. Following his tenure at the Academy, Midas, who was an LCDR in the US Coast Guard, was named to the All-Navy Team in 1985 and 1986 and the All-Armed Forces Team in 1985. His two brothers, Matt and Phil, were also standout players for the Mariners, creating a Midas legacy that will forever remain in Kings Point Soccer lore.

The first virtual bank run on Islamic principles is being set up by a group of investors in the Gulf Arab states, the Gulf Finance House (GFH) announced Wednesday. The web bank with paid up capital of $32.5 million will be registered in Bahrain, pending approval from the archipelago's central bank, the Bahrain Monetary Agency.
Esam Janahi, chief executive of BFH, a Bahrain-based investment bank, said the launch would be made before the end of the year. "We are very clear about the concept and what we have to offer. We are not just another portal or dotcom site," he said.
Among other investors are Qatar-based Sovereign International Co Ltd, the Injazat Technology Fund run from Jeddah, and the Shamil Bank of Bahrain.
According to experts, Islamic financial institutions have a total of $140 billion invested in more than 40 countries. Those investments are growing annually by 15 to 20 percent.
Interest is banned under the Islamic banking system, as the religion forbids usury. "Murabaha" is a classic practice of Islamic banking, under which a borrower has to pay an extra amount agreed in advance. This amount is regarded as a "reward" for the risk taken by the bank.
Islamic banks also take part in joint investments, sharing in the profits or the losses of a business venture. — (AFP-Dubai)

April 04, 1999-Cruiser Goes "Dilbert"
The trip back from Waiheke Island was fast, 24 miles in 2 Hours and 20 Minutes, which is 7.2 knots, over ground.
Not bad for a poled out #4 and a full main.
The wind was mostly mid twenties, occasionally as high as 27. In the old days, if this was coming home down the Puget Sound in July, or if we'd been here before and it was just sunny day out, we'd have flown the spinnaker, but this isn't our home waters yet, and it was a grey spitting day, and we didn't feel like it, so we just used plain sail.
One boat, a 30 footer fractional with full crew and a kite passed us somewhat faster than us, but we passed all the other weekenders.
Weekenders. That's what we are now.
We have, as David Jensen of Hopalong put it, gone "Dilbert", joined the corporate world. So we go out on weekends. This time it was the four day Easter weekend. We went to Waiheke Island with about 5000 other boats. Big parade out, big parade back, crowded harbours in between. But it was good to get the cobwebs shaken out. Wings seems fast since the bottom job, the sailing was easy, anchoring more so. Even the wind shift last night which blew straight into the bay where we were wasn't too bad. But we left early because it got rough enough that we didn't feel like a lazy breakfast.
Last week Kay Koski left on Thursday night, at 11:30. She had been here for a month and we really enjoyed her stay, but we worried about her long flight home. On Wednesday Bob and Carol were here too. So we had five of us sleeping on Wings that night. It worked.
Now that Kay has left Judy is about to start work herself. She has a part time job lined up. I am just finishing one contract myself and probably will start another one right away. So we'll both be going off to earn money for the cruising kitty. Thoreau wrote, "Beware of any endeavor which requires new clothes." I don't know if it true, but I did have to buy new clothes. And I think I'll get some more pretty soon too if I start this next assignment.
When I last worked in Seattle it was casual wear every day. Not so here in Auckland. Suits. No matter, I can do suits.
The commute is the weird thing.
First I ride the ferry to town, then take a bus to the railway station, then ride the commuter train out to Ellerslie.
Coming home sometimes feels strange. Since it is getting to be fall here the light is fading by six o'clock when I am standing on the lonely platform in Ellerslie waiting for the 6:03 train to come rolling around the bend. Wharehouses to the right and a freeway to the left. In between just a cold unlighted concrete platform next to a couple of pairs of tracks. Other than cars going by on the freeway, not a soul to be seen. And this is a long way from anywhere as far as I am concerned. A long way from the boat and the boat is a long way from anywhere that I can call home. It feels pretty. strange at times.
But that's whats happens when a cruiser goes Dilbert, it gets strange at times.

Seeing is a way of knowing; photography is a way of thinking. —Anne Whiston Spirn
This exhibition showcases the photographic work of world-renowned writer, scholar, and landscape architect Anne Whiston Spirn. The author of several important books on landscape, Spirn is known for her multi- disciplinary practice that evolves from her photographic work. Her new book, The Eye Is a Door: Landscape, Photography, and the Art of Discovery, features this work and describes her approach. www.theeyeisadoor.com
This is the first major exhibition to explore how Spirn's photographs encourage a deeper understanding of the natural and built environment through the development of visual literacy–the ability to read and analyze visual information. This approach to learning allows people to question and interpret what they see, which has broad implications across many fields of inquiry and design.
Spirn views photography as a tool that helps hone this ability by focusing attention on significant details in the landscape in order to discover the invisible. She has been on the forefront of the movement to make this kind of visual thinking a fundamental part of people's daily lives.
As a teaching museum, Smith College Museum of Art is dedicated to nurturing visual literacy in an interdisciplinary environment.
Produced over the past 35 years, the images in the exhibition capture stories and ideas embodied in places the artist has visited for her research, which range from the volcanic landscapes of Iceland to sacred Buddhist gardens in Japan.
The 46 color images featured in THE EYE IS A DOOR connect such diverse topics as geology, biology, astronomy, anthropology, engineering, architecture, history, literary studies, global studies, studio art, and landscape studies.

Benchmark energy use
When you're looking to improve, the first question you or your management might ask is, "How are we doing?" The next is, "how do we know?"
Benchmarking helps you answer these important questions. Put simply, benchmarking is the process of comparing your energy performance to something similar. "Something similar" might be internal, like performance at the same time last year. Or it might be external, like performance compared to similar facilities elsewhere.

Posted by Olivia on Tuesday, November 24th, 2015
This lovely fall salad is both refreshing and comforting, perfect as a side dish for your Thanksgiving meal! Finely sliced Brussels sprouts and fresh ginger are lightly seared in our Master Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then tossed with our heavenly ripe Black Cherry Balsamic Vinegar and apple cider. A handful of sweet, toasted macadamia nuts give a contrasting crunch and rich flavor to this holiday-seasonal side dish.
Feel free to experiment with other autumn ingredients in this recipe. You may toss a few handfuls of dried cherries into the mix, or perhaps try using rosemary or parsley in place of the chives. Pecans, walnuts, and even hazelnuts would all be excellent sub-ins for the macadamia nuts to your taste.

Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye may be out until new year
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has revealed midfielder Yohan Cabaye could be out of action until the new year.
Last Updated: 20/11/12 11:20am
The Frenchman suffered a groin injury on international duty and the injury appears to be worse than the initial prognosis.
"Cabaye looks like he could be out four to six weeks," the Magpies boss told the Evening Chronicle.
"He might possibly have to have a little surgery on that groin. It could be we run all the way to the end of January before I have my first team to pick from."
Pardew is already missing Ryan Taylor, Dan Gosling and Haris Vuckic to longer-term injuries.
Even when Cabaye is fully fit, Pardew will not be able to select his first choice central midfield pairing as Cheick Tiote is likely to be involved in the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast.
"When Cabaye comes back, Cheick will be gone. It is tough for us at the minute," Pardew added.
"You have seasons when you lose players and you have to be able to cope with it. If I had everybody available then losing Cabaye would not be such a blow. At the minute we cannot afford to lose anybody."

Raffaela Tabacco, University of Eastern Piedmont, Humanistic Department – Vercelli
The aim of the project is the creation of an open collection of textual data and the publication of such data on the Web. The project is designed to be open to the contribution of other scholars, not simply in the three years of its development, but also in the future.
The project digilibLT aims to continue a similar project by the Packard Humanities Institute (PHI): a digital library of Latin literary texts. The so-called PHI CD-ROM 5.3 offers a very important but selective collection of Latin texts and is the most widely used database of Latin texts for the earlier period (from the origins to the I century AD). In order to complete the database, our project is planning to digitize the Latin literary texts written in the period from the second to the fifth century AD. The texts will be tagged according to both stateof-the-art standards (XML), and to the standard adopted in the PHI CD-ROM 5.3. The digital library digilibLT will also include a number of important critical studies and editions which are now out of copyright.
The final product is going to be a rich, accessible website, which will offer: digitized latin texts; bio-bibliographical notes about authors and works; digitized historical, critical, literary studies about the late-antique Latin authors and works; full text search in the digitized texts (also with an interface specifically designed for mobile devices); selection and download of any text, by content criteria (word search) or by filing criteria (genre, period, and so on).
Technical Scientific Objectives
The project digilibLT aims to continue a similar project by the Packard Humanities Institute (PHI): a digital library of Latin literary texts.
The so-called PHI CD-ROM 5.3 offers a very important but selective collection of Latin texts and is the most widely used database of Latin texts for the earlier period (from the origins to the I century AD). The Packard project has been closed and the digitization of Latin texts has stopped at the II century A.D. For late-antique Latin texts (II-V century AD) no comprehensive textual database exists and the scholarly community must depend on incomplete and unreliable digital resources which have been sometimes prepared without critical study of the texts. Late antique culture in particular is understudied, even if it was especially important in transmitting the cultural, scientific, political, philosophical, literary and religious thought of antiquity to modern Europe.
The project DigilibLT will then digitize the texts of II-V century AD and will tag them according to both state-of-the-art standards (XML), and to the standard adopted in the PHI CD-ROM 5.3 in order to allow the scholars to continue using the existing PHI-oriented text analysis tools (such as Diogenes, Musaios, and others). The digital library will also include a number of important critical studies and editions which are now out of copyright.
The scholars who study the classical word, who make use of digital tools for their research and who are interested in the development of such tools constitute a large and very active community, and are especially attentive to the communication and the exchange of experiences and information. The scholarly community will see the continuation and completion of the collection as an essential tool for the study and the valorisation of Latin culture. Latin civilization originated in the geographical setting we now call "Italy", but has a worldwide relevance for its cultural, literary, and political impact.
Potential Impact
The project is potentially capable of influencing research and teaching in a very significant way at the international level, both for the importance of the texts that will be offered to the scholarly community and for the ease of use provided by the technology we are planning to use.
A very large worldwide community of scholars makes everyday use of Latin digitized texts. This is clear for instance from the very large debate on Latin text that can be found in the web-based discussion group 'Humanist' (http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/). The lively debate on the quality, the characteristics, and the coding standards of digitized texts witnesses the importance of the use of digital texts in everyday research and teaching. Conferences on these topics take places every year (Digital Humanities) or every two years (JADT); journals such as 'Literary and Linguistic Computing' demonstrate the centrality of this aspect of research on literary texts. The availability of digital texts will open up a number of possibilities for research on late antiquity. A thorough linguistic analysis of late-antique Latin texts is at present lacking, and is made very difficult by the lack of a reliable textual database. Such an analysis is especially important because of the great changes the Latin language underwent in that period. Editors of late-antique Latin texts have often chosen to normalize the language, making late-antique Latin similar to the classical language. While it is true that several late-antique authors aimed at reproducing classical style and language, many did not conform to it. The existence of a database will make it easier for future editors to recognize linguistic change and to find linguistic parallels for non-classical language. The literary study of late-antique authors will also be affected: scholars will find it much easier to trace literary influences and intertextual relationships.
The availability of digital texts will also be important for higher-level undergraduate students (Laurea specialistica) and for PhD students. They will be able to prepare dissertations and theses making use of the scholarly texts that will be offered on line; they will also use the textual database in order to obtain a better knowledge of the Latin language, and of the peculiarities of the Latin language of late antiquity. They will also be able to use the XML texts, modifying them according to the results of their research, if needed. They can prepare new editions of the texts, study the style and language of the authors, and prepare indexes and concordances of the texts. Digital editions will be also very useful in the case of texts of disputed authorship: statistical linguistic analysis can be applied to make progress in the dispute.
The diffusion of texts and of the critical studies on them is the best form of promotion. It is also a form of conservation: worldwide diffusion of digital texts among scholars will preserve their survival. Finally, the operative process, as defined in this digitization project, is potentially important for other types of texts and other literary traditions. The method used for scanning and for preparing optical character recognition (OCR) of scanned texts has the potential of being fruitfully used for other texts. Our research team will perform the task of optical character recognition (OCR) twice, using two different techniques (starting from a single scanned image of each text). The two versions will be checked against each other. The machinery and the software can be used again in the future for other digitization projects, not just by our research team but also by other researchers.
Description of Resources
Technical resources
The team will make use of two scanners uniquely dedicated to speedy and accurate digitization of printed books. State-of-the-art scanners offer truly excellent performances and do not damage the physical integrity of printed books. The scanned images will be analysed using two different types of optical character recognition (OCR) software. The texts will be thus corrected using a method similar to the one called 'double-keying'.
The research team will display the results of its work on a rich, accessible website which will offer:
- digitized Latin texts;
- bio-bibliographical notes about authors and works;
- digitized historical, critical, literary studies (not covered by DRM) about the late-antique latin authors and works;
- full-text search (also with an interface specifically designed for mobile devices);
- download of any text, selecting it by content criteria (word search) or by filing criteria (genre, period, and so on), or others.

Every teacher at Kepler is knowledgeable, skillful and experienced. Even from basic course, I still learned a lot of new visions from their insight and wisdom. I learned how to be more effective at my consultations and how to combine different predicting techniques for different purposes. In the beginning, I did not notice my learning at Kepler had changed my performance until one of my clients sent e-mail and told me that she had introduced her family and friends to me. That was the most exciting moment! From that moment I knew I can be a real astrologer -- not a fortuneteller!
In the math course, I didn't just learn how to draw a horoscope but also learned the astronomical logic behind it. From the history course and astronomy course, I confirmed that Astrology is a great science--more than I knew.
What made me highly appreciative was that every teacher spent so much time to prepare extra supplements for serious students to explore more knowledge and gain more skill as long as they want. So if you are beginner, for sure you can learn from beginning to professional in here because every course is designed systematically. If you are an advanced astrologer as I was, you still can find a lot of new thing to learn as long as you are willing to ask.
Now, with my sincere appreciation, I am glad to say that I finally got my diploma! My next plan is to decide my specialty, continue researching, and, of course, to offer my professional skills and ability to support my clients.
At the same time, I will continue my learning at Kepler because I feel here has become another home for me to recharge my energy. I believe here is also for every astrologer who loves Astrology and loves helping people.

Studies May Reopen Discussions About Benefits of Avastin for Breast Cancer
Don't count out the drug Avastin[1] as a breast cancer treatment[2] just yet. But don't count it in, either.
In November, the FDA took the unusual step of nixing Avastin's approval for advanced breast cancer[3], saying that the serious risks of using the drug outweighed its small benefits for women with cancer that had spread beyond the breast.
Now new studies are under way looking at whether Avastin may work better if it's used earlier in the course of the disease as an initial therapy.
Two of those studies are reporting their first round of results this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
They are not slam dunks for the drug, which prevents the growth of new blood vessels and is meant to starve fast-growing cancer cells by shutting off their blood supply.
Instead, both studies show that Avastin may slightly improve the odds that chemotherapy[4] medications might shrink cancer from the breast before surgeons go in to remove it.
Using Chemotherapy Before Surgery
Often, chemotherapy drugs are given to patients after first having surgery to remove a tumor. The drugs are used to kill off any remaining cancer cells after surgery.
But doctors may also give chemotherapy to some patients prior to their operations.
That strategy can sometimes shrink tumors enough so that a woman is able to have only part of her breast removed instead of the whole thing. It can also help doctors refine their treatment plans. If the cancer doesn't respond well to the first drugs they try against it, they know to try a different plan of attack after surgery.
About 20% of women have their tumors disappear completely after a course of this pre-surgery chemotherapy.
Certainly, says Mary B. Daly, MD, PhD, chair of the department of clinical genetics at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, disappearance of the cancer before surgery is a hopeful sign.
"Those women tend to do somewhat better, overall, than women for whom there's still tumor left," she says.
It is not yet known, however, whether that result -- something doctors call a complete pathological response -- will increase a woman's chances of survival.

For all of you considering using DI you are not alone. I too have to use donor sperm as my husband was diagnosed with Azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate) in July 06 - probably the hardest news ive ever heard. We also had the TAFE biopsy to find - nothing - very very sad and hard for us.
We are currently on the waiting list here in NZ for a donor and hope that this is within the next 3-6 months, we have currently been waiting for 3 months now.
I have found a brilliant book called "Building a family with artificial insemination" by Ken Daniels, i can give anyone who is interested his email dress. He lives in NZ but travels to the US and his book is widely used overseas. its is brilliant.
We are still young (mid twenties) and very much hoping that this works. We told only our parents - even though we are close to our siblings. The law in NZ is that you must tell your children and we want to make sure they hear it directly from us. We have told other friends we are using IVF for now, and our dearest friends we will tell the truth when we tell our children in years to come (when they are between 2-3 years old).
I have gone through so many emotions - mostly anger and grief. Anger that this would happen to us and yet there is so many young teenage mums here in NZ, grief that i won't carry my husband's baby and that all our privacy has been taken away. My husband has been incredible and told me, the is so grateful i am prepared to do DI so we can have a family. Im grateful he is so amazing that he is open to the suggestion. This journey has made our marriage so much stronger.
If anyone wants to chat, please post here. This is such a lonely journey, but together im sure we can get through it.

Poor image quality overall
Very easy camera to use
Optical viewfinder, Images have really good colour reproduction
Cheaper model and is easy to use
'Designed as a user-friendly, powerful, entry-level DSLR, the EOS 1100D features an impressive specification to support the image quality and performance promised by the Canon and EOS brands. '
'great entry level camera'
'full HD video recording facility'
'more powerful and up-to-date image processor'
'highly desirable camera'
'The White Balance control on the camera was very impressive.'
'It's great for shooting rooms, landscapes, and portraits, but it falls short in the telephoto department, making the Panasonic LX3 a difficult choice for an all-around camera, unless you're used to short to medium focal lengths.'
'perfect compact camera'
'Once focused, shot-to-shot time typically takes about 0.4 second for RAW or JPEG, and adding flash recycling time bumps it to only 0.7 second, which is very good for any class. '
'The 12.2-megapixel Canon Digital Rebel XSi, which targets entry-level digital SLR shooters , has all the features that novices expect--as well as an alluring array of advanced options that will appeal to more seasoned photographers. '
'the Canon EOS 450D comes as a welcome change, and a model worthy of upgrading from your old 350D .'
'The Canon ESO 450D comes as a welcome change, and a model worthy of upgrading from your old 350D . '
'very good ultracompact camera'
'In PCWorld Labs imaging tests, the Lumix DMC-FP8 produced good--but not great--results. '
'The minimal, flat fronted design and internally stacked/folded zoom lens mechanism of Panasonic's 12.1 effective megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 may be a claimed bold departure for the electronics manufacturer's range of otherwise conventionally styled digital compacts. '
'Durable frame. '
'This camera is easy to use and has several good features.'
'One high-speed digital cameras that are convenient to carryover everywhere.'
'This Casio Elixim EX-S12 looks fantastic and won't weigh you down.'
'The camera is well-made, durable, and sturdy but its being dropped forcefully, even though accidentally, did cause some cosmetic damage.'
'Macro mode requires subject to be placed at least 15 cm from lens.'
Sharp pictures
Value for money
'slow shooting performance'
'pretty good image detail'
Falls short on image quality
'The standard range of metering controls (multi-area, center-weighted, spot) are available for more involved metering tasks, but the Cyber-shot was accurate enough in this regard that I rarely felt the need to step outside of the default multi-area setting'
'battery life is low, but it's uncomfortably small for frequent use.'
'The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 couples a 8.1 megapixel sensor to a Zeiss-branded 5x optical zoom and a generous 2.7" LCD display'
'I was able to capture 10 full resolution (8M) images in 4.2 seconds, about
2.3fps, which soared by Sony's claim of 1.6fps.'
'The Kodak EasyShare C913's plastic body is sturdy and comfortable to hold.'
'Terrible movie quality..'
'certainly understandable given that cost is likely a dominant factor in the design.'
'Does not record video in HD.'

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's president-elect called Israel's control of Jerusalem and Palestinian lands a "wound" for the Islamic world in relatively moderate remarks Friday that contrasted with the harsh rhetoric of his predecessor and other Iranian leaders.
Speaking to reporters during an annual pro-Palestinian rally, Hasan Rouhani said: "In our region and under occupation of Palestine and dear Jerusalem, there has been a wound on the body of the Islamic world."
The comments, two days before Rouhani's inauguration, were tame compared with those frequently made by outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for Israel's destruction. The country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, once called the Jewish state a "cancer" that needed to be cut away.
A semiofficial Iranian news agency initially quoted Rouhani as calling Israel a "wound that should be removed." That prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to retort that "the real face of Rouhani has been exposed earlier than expected."
But the news agency, ISNA, later said it was a misquote, confirmed by state TV footage of Rouhani's comment reviewed by The Associated Press. Netanyahu issued no statement on the corrected version.
Nevertheless, the mishap underscored the challenges facing the incoming president, who was elected in June with pledges to seek a calmer and more balanced outreach to the West.
It is Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guard who control Iranian policies, and the supreme leader has final say in all key matters.
Rouhani will effectively be the international face of Iran and has made no secret of his desire to project a new image of dialogue rather than diatribes. It remains to be seen to what extent he will be able to persuade the ruling clerics and military that interaction with Washington and its allies over Iran's nuclear program could bring dividends such as easing painful sanctions.
Israel has not ruled out a military option against Iran's nuclear facilities, which the West suspects are geared toward making a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies the charge and insists its nuclear program is meant for peaceful purposes only.
The Iranian leadership has long maintained harsh views on Israel, backing anti-Israeli factions such as Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group. But it now appears to recognize that Ahmadinejad's fiery denunciations of Israel and his questioning the extent of the Holocaust needlessly outraged the West and did not advance Iran's national interests.
Rouhani appears to be trying to maneuver in the tight space allotted in Iran's power structure. He is making clear that he stands with Iran's uncompromising positions on Israel but is also backing away from Ahmadinejad's fist-waving approach.
In his remarks Friday, Rouhani also expressed doubts about the possibility of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal as the two sides resumed negotiations in Washington this week following a five-year freeze in Mideast talks.
"Israelis show a compromising face to the world but continue their expansionism in practice," Rouhani said, according to Fars, another semiofficial news agency. "This rally is a reminder that Muslim people will not forget their historical right and they will resist oppression and invasion."
Iran does not recognize Israel and has since the 1979 Islamic Revolution observed the last Friday of the Islamic month of Ramadan as "Al-Quds Day." Tehran says the occasion is meant to express support for Palestinians and emphasize the importance of Jerusalem for Muslims.
Jerusalem's eastern sector houses sensitive Jewish, Christian and Muslim shrines and is sacred to all three religions. Jerusalem is the holiest place in Judaism and the third holiest city in Islam, after the Saudi Arabian cities of Mecca and Medina.
Anti-Israeli rallies were held in cities and towns across Iran on Friday. In the capital, Tehran, tens of thousands took to the streets, chanting "Down with America" and "Death to Israel." Some protesters also burned American and Israeli flags.
Ahmadinejad spoke to the crowds after the rally in Friday prayers at the Tehran University campus. It was his last public speech before his term ends.
"You Zionists planted a wind but you will harvest a storm," the outgoing president said. "A destructive storm is on the way and it will destroy Zionism."
Associated Press Writer Ian Deitch in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

IndyCar driver Justin Wilson is released to recover from home
IndyCar pilot Justin Wilson returned home to Colorado this week to begin his recovery process after suffering injuries in a lap 111 accident in the 2013 IndyCar season finale at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California last weekend.
Wilson suffered a pulmonary contusion as well as three fractures to his pelvis from the impact, which saw the front of a competitor's car make lateral (t-bone) contact with the right side of Wilson's DW12. The recovery process will require several weeks of inactivity for Wilson.
The order to keep off his feet is a big adjustment for Wilson, who in addition to his duties as a doting dad to his two young daughters, stays extremely active with a comprehensive training program that integrates long-distance cycling, mountain biking, and weight training.
"They said it will be six weeks before I can put weight on my right side," said Wilson, who has already become adroit with his new crutches he will use to get around. "I am hoping for a lot less (time) of course, but you have to do what they say. It will be hard because I am already thinking about getting back in the car and training to be ready for that, but it will just take some time."
Wilson has a recent precedent for this process after suffering a back injury in practice at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in August, 2011. But after sitting out the final six races of the IndyCar season, Wilson returned to 2012 race duty in fine form, winning in his first race back with a breakthrough victory for Michael Shank Racing in the 50th Anniversary Rolex 24 At Daytona.
While obeying doctors orders and keeping off his feet will be key to his healing, the affable Briton has already also benefited from an outpouring of support from a wide range of sources.
"It has been amazing, several of the drivers came and visited me in the hospital and everyone has called, tweeted, or texted me just saying 'get well fast'. It has been a little overwhelming," said Wilson. "I'd like to respond to everyone, but I think it would be impossible! I am grateful for the support, and it is really encouraging for me."
The primary partner on Wilson's No. 19 Dale Coyne Racing Honda-powered machine was the Boy Scouts of America, and the group was another outlet of support as the national council organized a section of the website for Scouts from across the country to wish Wilson a speedy recovery (http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2013/10/21/justin/).
