In endurance sports, particularly cycling and running, hitting the wall or the bonk describes a condition caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles, which manifests itself by precipitous fatigue and loss of energy. Milder instances can be remedied by brief rest and the ingestion of food or drinks containing carbohydrates. The condition can usually be avoided by ensuring that glycogen levels are high when the exercise begins, maintaining glycogen levels during exercise by eating or drinking carbohydrate-rich substances, or by reducing exercise intensity.

I just received WEN's PE 7233 set for Revell's Gato. It is Fantastic! Here is the email I sent back to WEN:
I just received your PE 7233 set and all I can say is, WOW!! You folks have done a fantastic job of rendering a lot of the hardware to make an excellent model of a Gato submarine with. I can't wait to see it also in 1/144. It is terrific the options you put into the Radar set as far as early and late SJ antennas and offering the SV reflector too. Also, the Conning tower Frame work is superb. It assembles just like the real thing. I can't come up with enough accolades. I have spent a considerable amount of time reverse engineering a lot of these items for a 1/180 Gato I am building out of the Revell Lionfish kit so I know what is accurate and what is not. (I've attached some photos of my work to verify my qualifications.) Your attention to detail is the best I have seen in the aftermarket business. The references you used are the best in the industry.
It is great how you accommodated positioning the SJ radar either for or aft of the periscopes as most boats eventually were modified for aft mounted SJs. One thing that is not included and needs to be added is a 1" x 4" (1:1 scale, approx.) vertical piece for each of the Side Fillets (parts #15) and the Rear Brace (part #17). The structures when viewed from the top are "T" shaped. The 1" x4" forms the top of the "T". The bottom of the "T" is welded against the periscope tube. The hypotenuse of items #15 and #17 are straight, top to bottom. The fillet that you have at the bottom of these parts is on the outside of the 1"x 4" piece. Refer to page 24 in Floating Drydock's "Plan Book of Gato and Balao Class Submarines", upper left-hand corner. FD refers to them as "Periscope Supports". One other item that should have been included to make the set complete is also shown on page 24, the "Top Supports". The name is a bit of a misnomer as these parts actually are located at the bottom of the "Periscope Supports" as can be seen in the "Periscope Supports" view and the complete assembly view below on page 24. They act as a horizontal base-plate for the vertical supports.
Once again, thank you for some stunning work. I will make sure that the Bulletin Boards I am a member of are made aware of these fine pieces of PE. I only wish you would offer the Radar antennas in 1/192 for my project! Radar antennas are the most difficult item to fashon. The ones offered by Nautilus are not very good or accurate, I will not use them.

5 Cs of Great Web Analytics
* Combine.
* Comb.
* Copy.
* Crumble.
* Collaborate.
Web metrics never act alone so don't review them that way. Look at Traffic & Shares, Traffic & Money or Time On & Bounce. By combining metrics you see interrelationships better.
Inside of your metrics are secret fractals or patterns so meaningful they almost bite you. When I was a Director of Ecommerce we found the 80/20 rule existed in all data sets across all segments and no matter how small we cut the sample. This means a small % of any metric makes up the majority of the benefit and its your job to find those hidden fractals.
If a competitor has a great new metric copy it, steal it and improve on it. Share your improvements back out to the world so they too can be improve upon. No such thing as SECRETS anymore.
Your website is in a constant ebb and flow. We like to say we build sand castles on the beach and the tide is always coming in. This means you can't get too connected to or in love with anything and that includes numbers and processes. You must exist in a constant state of creative destruction to win online so crumble any cherished notions and beloved processes in order to see what is happening NOW.
The more you share, collaborate and give the more you win online. Your CFO is going to complain about ROI and you should smile, nod and assure him or her you will work on it. The way you work on improving web marketing ROI is TO DO WEB MARKETING. Sounds circular and CATCH-22-like you say? Good you are beginning to get it :). M

Key takeaways
The types of content you tweet have significant impacts on attracting and keeping followers.Hashtags probably aren't dead.Each tweet that includes an image, has a hashtag, is a retweet, or mentions someone associates with 2-6% more daily followers.
Just as it does with Rand, your account will likely have individualized factors that move the needle for you.You can explore these via Excel!

Active vs. Passive
Scott Stratten & Alison Kramer have written a marketing #mustread. I listened to Unselling driving to Columbus to go to my monthly appointment at the James Cancer Center and that seemed appropriate in retrospect.
Unselling: The New Customer Experience
Scott Stratten & Alison Kramer
Appropriate because my favorite section of the book is the intelligent discussion of passive (pull) vs active (push) sales and marketing. Stratten and Kramer argue the active era is dead and gone. The key to this next era is creating such magical content seeks carry on wind provided by advocates, fans and members.
Appropriate because dropping the Kabuki theater of one's life is one of cancer's big lessons. Life is too short for BS. Marketing is too valuable for BS, so begin to ween yourself off of it Unselling explains.
WOW, perfect tie to team http://www.Curagami.com's pursuit of the ever elusive tool to make creation of online community easy for merchants. We agree with Scott's rant against automated social media.
We also agree with his stance on the ruination of social media by brand PUSH ( see another Scoop I just shared about Buzzfeed pushing brands beyond the web i.e. the ruination of social (http://sco.lt/5qettp ).
If the ONLY section you read, believe and act on is Unselling's discussion of the value of magical content as the key to market making going forward and the necessary letting go of PUSH you will be ahead of the pack when the "push is dead man walking" ax falls.
Great and highly recommend marketing & sales read.

Parallax design sites are growing in use because they embrace the fluidity of the Web, provide simplicity, and offer a scrolling technique that creates a neat 3-D effect.
You should be aware of some concerns when deciding whether to use a parallax design. Concerns include the following.
Load times
Parallax design is highly animated with a lot of scripts, so it can decrease the load time of a website.
Browser support
Not all browsers are able to support the parallax design. That inability can lead to problems for the user.
Not mobile-friendly
Parallax scrolling is also not ideal for mobile as it makes the website bloated. Parallax adds layers of code to a website.
Deficient for analytics
If all your content is on one page, understanding what content is capturing visitors can be difficult. There can be workarounds to this obstacle, such as using event tracking or tying a pageview in Google Analytics to sections of parallax scrolling, but parallax design does add a layer of complexity to analytics.
SEO and new design techniques often don't mesh. In addition to being deficient on the analytics side, many parallax websites are not built with SEO in mind. Content often takes a backseat to the visual, and parallax pages typically aren't geared towards specific topics and targeted websites. External websites may only have one page to link without linking to specific subpage with more relevant content.
I used this phrase in a meeting last year and got laughed at. Parallax is mobile friendly so a trending design ethos.
Parallax websites look amazing, but are they effective for SEO?
Well that depends. There are several things such as Page Title, Page Description, and Content that plays a major role in SEO. Parallax designs can still include great content which is one of the most important things when it comes to SEO.

Wouldn't it be great if you could just call up a supercomputer and ask it to do your data-wrangling for you? Actually, scratch that, no-one uses the phone anymore. What'd be really cool is if machines could respond to your queries straight from Twitter. It's a belief that's shared by Wolfram Research, which has just launched the Tweet a Program system to its computational knowledge engine, Wolfram Alpha. In a blog post, founder Stephen Wolfram explains that even complex queries can be executed within the space of 140 characters, including data visualizations.
In the Wolfram Language a little code can go a long way. And to use that fact to let everyone have some fun with the introduction of Tweet-a-Program. Compose a tweet-length Wolfram Language program, and tweet it to @WolframTaP. TheTwitter bot will run your program in the Wolfram Cloud and tweet the result back to you. One can do a lot with Wolfram Language programs that fit in a tweet. It's easy to make interesting patterns or even complicated fractals. Putting in some math makes it easy to get all sorts of elaborate structures and patterns.
The Wolfram Language not only knows how to compute π, as well as a zillion other algorithms; it also has a huge amount of built-in knowledge about the real world. So right in the language, you can talk about movies or countries or chemicals or whatever. And here's a 78-character program that makes a collage of the flags of Europe, sized according to country population. There are many, many kinds of real-world knowledge built into the Wolfram Language, including some pretty obscure ones. The Wolfram Language does really well with words and text and deals with images too.

I would love to have one more data set to confirm the fast wite middle before assigning the word "data desert" if only because wikipedia editing, the data was sourced from number of edits on wikipedia, may be an acquired taste.
The authors figure, and they are probably right, that wikipedia edits are a good proxy for all things digital. Still would like to see Google searches or some other confirming number before moving all the way to where the interesting post goes.

Gamify was added to Haiku Decks' Featured area. Crowdfunding tips from The Clash was Tweeted and included on GooglePlus. None of the 36 Haiku Decks we've created came back with 0 new views (that's impressive). A week ago we wrote a Curagami post about Top Haiku Decks (http://www.curagami.com/featured/buffet-tools-conversations-top-haiku-decks/ ) and provided a link to a spreadsheet with links to all decks (bit.ly/1towd0F ).
That post plus features by Haiku Deck in their two community galleries (Featured and Popular) produced almost 6,000 views. We've been talking about the need for a profile page to help promote all Haiku Decks and the team at Haiku is working on it.
That was the advantage we created by developing a page with links to all decks. We could share that single link and people could decide what decks interested them.

A Weekend in Portland
We love Portland. Not just because of the famed documentary series "Portlandia", but because we love bikes, coffee, boutiques, and beer. Wind and rain? Not huge fans, but it is a give and get world. Here is what made us smile in the City of Roses this weekend:
1. Beard Beer. Sounds gross, 'cause it kind of is... but if you can get past the fact that the yeast used in this batch was grown from yeast found in the brewer's beard, it's a damn fine pint. Check it our at Rogue Brewing.
2. Table sharing. In smaller restaurants, limited seating can mean LONG wait times. A few spots we encountered this weekend sat small parties with each other, which ends up getting you seated faster, and it introduces you to new people. More places should get down with this.
3. Monkeys. The Oregon Zoo is just west of downtown Portland, and it's awesome. Not far from the zoo, and in the same gigantic park system, you can take a spin through the Japanese Gardens and reflect upon the monkeys you just saw.


text: The Cannes Competition line-up is traditionally an exclusive gathering of established auteurs or rising young filmmakers who have paid their dues competing in other strands of the fest's vast official selection. It can therefore take someone like Hong Sang-soo multiple Un Certain Regard selections before he finally gets invited to main competition (as he finally did this year with his very fine In Another Country). Meanwhile, there are directors like Ken Loach, who, once having breached the Competition, get a seemingly free pass to future births, no matter the quality of the submitted work. By these standards, then, one of the more unexpected inclusions in this year's line-up was Jeff Nichols, a young American director who's previous CV includes only two films, the under-seen Shotgun Stories and last year's Critic's Week winner, Take Shelter. But I certainly don't begrudge Nichols or his new film, Mud, this opportunity: Based on the excellent Take Shelter alone, a fighting chance at some legitimate Cannes hardware is more than appropriate, even without working his way up the proverbial totem, cutting his teeth multiple times over in less visible line-ups.

Gorgeous Programs
These are great! When I first got them, I was a little worried the font was too small (it seems a lot bigger on the computer when you are designing them). But after everyone looking over them and saying they were perfect, I was relieved! I am excited because everything matches, our save-the-dates, invites, pograms, place cards, and our thannk you cards. I think it is chic and modern.

Police in the garrison city of Rawalpindi near the capital said the attack on the procession of minority Shiite Muslims killed at least 16 people, after the suicide bomber blew himself up when he was stopped for a security check.

In general, only a physician (M.D. or D.O.) who is properly licensed may prescribe medications used to treat ADHD (prescribing privileges are regulated by state law for other professions, including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and, in two states [New Mexico and Louisiana] Ph.D. psychologists with with advanced training in psychopharmacology). Because ADHD is a medical condition, it should be diagnosed by a pediatrician, neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, clinical social worker, or other properly licensed mental health provider who has experience evaluating and treating individuals with ADHD. Because some symptoms of ADHD may be symptoms of other conditions, it is essential that you consult a trained professional and obtain a thorough evaluation and formal diagnosis for your child before beginning any particular course of treatment.

Our world is always on, always connected—and applications are at the center of it. Investment in applications is critical to the future success of a modern enterprise, and optimally managing those applications is the key to greater efficiency, innovation and growth. But how do you invest in the future when you're still locked into spending upwards of 65-80% of your IT budget maintaining the current environment? What if you had a better view and understanding of your current application portfolio investments and had a way to calibrate those investments for the greatest impact?
Rethink Your Applications Management
The answer is you can. But shifting your IT investments from maintenance to innovation requires you to rethink the way you manage your applications. Why? Because what got you here won't get you there.

Manchester school superintendent chided on audit
Superintendent Debra Livingston told the Board of School Committee that she expected to have specific recommendations in line with the audit, which would be referred to the relevant subcommittees, "very soon."
The audit found that city schools lag well behind the state average in test scores and have made little or no improvement over the past four years.
Livingston, who became the school chief in July, said she has moved quickly in response to the issues she has been presented with. She pointed to the recent outcry over the Common Core State Standards and her decision to have the district develop its own Manchester Academic Standards
At its last meeting, the school board voted to back Livingston's proposal for Manchester Academic Standards that would go beyond Common Core, the controversial national education benchmarks that are being pushed by the Obama administration.

Hanna confronts Mona, Spencer loses her position to her enemy, Emily tries to comfort Paige and Aria begins to suspect that her father was involved in Alison's disappearance. Find out what happened on tonight's brand new episode of Pretty Little Liars after the jump!
You and friend could win a trip to visit the LA set of Pretty Little Liars. Find out how by reading this recap!
After accusing Aria of setting the fire and hurting Meredith last week, Byron is now apologizing after learning that the police have a different suspect. People in glass houses, Byron. Aria doesn't accept her father's apology and is beginning to suspect that maybe he has more involvement in Ali's disappearance then he lets on.
It turns out that the suspect is Harold, the hotel clerk turned Janitor, and it was Mona who pointed the finger. She tells the girls that she's scared of Harold and hopes he'll be caught by the police, but her act thankfully doesn't get a pass from the girls.
Emily, Hanna and Spencer go back to Harold's janitorial office to look for clues, but first they need to find the light switch. Actually, Emily needs to find it. I'm just gonna say it – why did it take Emily so long to find the switch? Should we be suspecting her as well? Ugh, this is too much. In the dark, Spencer hears someone moving and a hooded figure runs past all the girls. Hanna spots A's shoes and recognizes them, but says and does nothing.
The girls fill Aria in on their adventure the next day and we finally learn who the unfortunate biker was that landed on the wrong end of A's wrath last week. He was Spencer's only opponent in the race for captain of the Academic Decathlon Team and now the job is hers! Oh wait, Mona is here. And she's running for president. Quiz off! Apparently that's a real thing and not just something that happens in Billy Madison.
With more red flags being raised about her father, Aria does some digging with her mom and asks Ella what she remembers about the night Alison disappeared. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember much. Byron and Ella were celebrating a night without any kids and she had too much to drink and passed out early. A heavy sleeper, Aria worries that her mother wouldn't have been woken by her father slipping out to meet Alison.
Aria wants to review the pages of Alison's journal about meeting with Bryon to demand more money, but when Aria, Emily and Hanna look for the pages in Aria's room, they're missing from the boot Aria used to hide them. Byron sticks his head in Aria's room and jokes about her using her snow boots as her hiding spot from Mike when she was younger. He. Knows.
Later, Aria finds her father and Meredith arguing in the hallway and hears Meredith say something about Byron snooping in Aria's room. She sees her father violently grab Meredith, who manages to break away from Byron's grasp. Aria follows Meredith to the coffee shop and the two talk things over. Meredith tells Aria that she knew Ali was blackmailing Byron. He came to her apartment the night Alison disappeared and she begged him to not meet the teenager, but Byron went anyway. The next day, Alison was missing and Meredith has been in fear ever since that it Byron was behind her disappearance.
Meredith takes Aria home and offers to stay with Aria, who feels like she has the flu, while Byron is away on a conference. I trust Meredith, but I also don't trust Meredith at all. Does that make sense?
After recognizing the shoes A was wearing when he ran out of Harold's office, Hanna confronts Lucas and his sneakers. Hanna promises to not tell anyone about Lucas' involvement, but she wants answers. With Mona back, no one is safe and Lucas will do anything to stop her, including starting the fire at school. Yikes. Lucas runs off before Hanna can grill him further, but she goes to his house that night and tries to talk to him again.
FYI, Lucas' room looks exactly the way you would think Lucas' room would look.
Lucas admits that Mona began blackmailing him after he received an anonymous text at the Masquerade Ball telling him to distract Jenna. Mona knows that Lucas sells test answers to kids at school and used that information to make Lucas deliver letters between Mona and Jason. Hoping Mona won't be able to hurt him if she can't see him, Lucas has decided to drop out of Rosewood High and start home school.
Paige may be the next student to show up to her own prom in her living room. She's been scared of going out at night ever since Garrett's death and her parents have her on lock down. Still, Emily convinces Paige to venture out that night to a party the swim team is throwing in the woods. That doesn't sound scary at all.
Half way to the party, Paige develops a panic attack. Paige and Emily get out of the car and go for a walk to get some air, but when they get back they find that Paige's tires have been slashed.
Emily sees a person standing in the woods in a black hood and chasing him down, but doesn't catch him.
The camera does and we see that it's Toby. Oh, Toby.
It's time for the Quiz Off and the girls are neck in neck, but when Mona begins to show weakness, Spencer gets cocky and loses the competition.
Upset that she's been ousted by Mona, Spencer calls Hanna to pick her up at Mona's victory party. After talking to Lucas and seeing her best friend lose a position that was so important to her, Hanna takes off the gloves and blasts Mona. She tells her former friend that she knows Mona is lying and is still evil. In other words, she just poked a sleeping bear.
Byron is at his office gathering papers before leaving for his conference when we see Mona follow him into the hall in her hoody and call someone, alerting them to Byron's location. Since everyone already thinks he's going to be away for a few days no one will notice if he doesn't come home safe. Will Byron be Mona's next casualty?

Once-a-Week Injection Could Fight Diabetes Complications
What if a once-a-week injection could stave off long-term diabetes complications like nerve, kidney and eye damage? And what if that shot, not too different than giving yourself a dose of insulin, was something you could have done in a routine doctor's visit at the same time they're measuring blood pressure, cholesterol, and other in-office blood checks?
Wouldn't you jump at the chance?

In southern California this time of year every weekend is filled with a different showcase event for 18u, 16u and some 14u fastpitch softball teams to show off their players in front of college coaches and scouts. Every player (and their parents) hopes for a stellar game or games to standout in some way, shape or form from all the rest of the players. And while playing well is the ultimate goal during a showcase how to prepare for that day is the topic of my post today.
If your athlete aspires to play ball in college and receive a partial or full athletic scholarship it is never too early to start having her focus on developing the kinds of habits and traits that top softball recruits have that both catch the eye of the scouts as well as allow them to play at a consistent peak level.
Here are the Top 10 Habits and Traits of Highly Recruited Fastpitch Players:
1. They Have a Great Work Ethic - These peak performers have a crazy work ethic, and are self-driven to get better each day. They are the ones flying all over the field, and when they miss a ball in practice they immediately ask for anther one. Every coach would love to have 15 of these girls on his or her roster!
2. They Love the Game - Their work ethic is propelled due to their love of the game. Playing the game brings these elite players joy; they love the way they feel on the field and even smile after a mistake. It's all good to them whenever they cross the white line and their love for the game is infectious!
3. They Possess Great Mental Focus - These are true competitors who have cultivated the ability to stay in present moment awareness during crunch time. They have the unique ability to get into the zone and block out all distractions. These athletes are the ones who consistently play poised under pressure and seem to have ice in their veins in the biggest at bats and games.
4. They Expect Success for Themselves and Their Teammates - These positive leaders recognize the tremendous investment they and their teammates have made into the game and as a result expect success come game day. They have a consistent "can do" attitude and it is contagious on their team. Their presence in the dugout makes everyone around them better.
Boost your athlete's game day confidence fast with the Sports Confidence Blueprint program!

Major Section: EVENTS
Examples: (verify-guards flatten) (verify-guards flatten :hints (("Goal" :use (:instance assoc-of-app))) :otf-flg t :doc "string")See guard for a general discussion of guards. In the General Form above,General Form: (verify-guards name :hints hints :otf-flg otf-flg :doc doc-string)
is the name of a :
(see defun-mode) or of a theorem or axiom. In the most common
case name
is the name of a function that has not yet had its
guards verified, each
subroutine of which has had its guards verified. hints
are as described in the corresponding :
and doc-string
, if supplied, is a string not beginning with
''. The three keyword arguments above are all
optional. Verify-guards
will attempt to prove that the guard on
the named function implies the guards of all of the subroutines
called in the body of the function, and that the guards are satisfied for
all function calls in the guard itself (under an implicit guard of t
If successful, name
is considered to have had its guards verified.
If name
is one of several functions in a mutually recursive clique,
will attempt to verify the guards of all of the
If name
is a theorem or axiom name, verify-guards
verifies the
guards of the associated formula. When a theorem has had its guards
verified then you know that the theorem will evaluate to non-nil
in all Common Lisps, without causing a runtime error (other than possibly
a resource error). In particular, you know that the theorem's validity
does not depend upon ACL2's arbitrary completion of the domains of partial
Common Lisp functions.
For example, if app
is defined as
(defun app (x y) (declare (xargs :guard (true-listp x))) (if (endp x) y (cons (car x) (app (cdr x) y))))then we can verify the guards of
and we can prove the theorem:
(defthm assoc-of-app (equal (app (app a b) c) (app a (app b c))))However, if you go into almost any Common Lisp in which
is defined
as shown and evaluate
(equal (app (app 1 2) 3) (app 1 (app 2 3)))we get an error or, perhaps, something worse like
! How can
this happen since the formula is an instance of a theorem? It is supposed
to be true!
It happens because the theorem exploits the fact that ACL2 has completed
the domains of the partially defined Common Lisp functions like car
and cdr
, defining them to be nil
on all non-conses. The formula
above violates the guards on app
. It is therefore ``unreasonable''
to expect it to be valid in Common Lisp.
But the following formula is valid in Common Lisp:
(if (and (true-listp a) (true-listp b)) (equal (app (app a b) c) (app a (app b c))) t)That is, no matter what the values of
, b
and c
the formula
above evaluates to t
in all Common Lisps (unless the Lisp engine runs out
of memory or stack computing it). Furthermore the above formula is a theorem:
(defthm guarded-assoc-of-app (if (and (true-listp a) (true-listp b)) (equal (app (app a b) c) (app a (app b c))) t))This formula,
, is very easy to prove from
. So why prove it? The interesting thing about
is that we can verify the guards of the
formula. That is, (verify-guards guarded-assoc-of-app)
Note that it has to prove that if a
and b
are true lists then
so is (app a b)
to establish that the guard on the outermost app
on the left is satisfied. By verifying the guards of the theorem we
know it will evaluate to true in all Common Lisps. Put another way,
we know that the validity of the formula does not depend on ACL2's
completion of the partial functions or that the formula is ``well-typed.''
One last complication: The careful reader might have thought we could
state guarded-assoc-of-app
(implies (and (true-listp a) (true-listp b)) (equal (app (app a b) c) (app a (app b c))))rather than using the
form of the theorem. We cannot! The
reason is technical: implies
is defined as a function in ACL2.
When it is called, both arguments are evaluated and then the obvious truth
table is checked. That is, implies
is not ``lazy.'' Hence, when
we write the guarded theorem in the implies
form we have to prove
the guards on the conclusion without knowing that the hypothesis is true.
It would have been better had we defined implies
as a macro that
expanded to the if
form, making it lazy. But we did not and after
we introduced guards we did not want to make such a basic change.
Recall however that verify-guards
is almost always used to verify
the guards on a function definition rather than a theorem. We now
return to that discussion.
Because name
is not uniquely associated with the verify-guards
(it necessarily names a previously defined function) the
documentation string, doc-string
, is not stored in the
documentation data base. Thus, we actually prohibit doc-string
from having the form of an ACL2 documentation string;
see doc-string.
If the guard on a function is not t
, then guard verification
requires not only consideration of the body under the assumption
that the guard is true, but also consideration of the guard itself.
Thus, for example, guard verification fails in the following
example, even though there are no proof obligations arising from the
body, because the guard itself can cause a guard violation when
evaluated for an arbitrary value of x
(defun foo (x) (declare (xargs :guard (car x))) x)
must often be used when the value of a recursive call
of a defined function is given as an argument to a subroutine that
is guarded. An example of such a situation is given below. Suppose
(read ``append'') has a guard requiring its first argument to be
a true-listp
. Consider
(defun rev (x) (declare (xargs :guard (true-listp x))) (cond ((endp x) nil) (t (app (rev (cdr x)) (list (car x))))))Observe that the value of a recursive call of
is being passed
into a guarded subroutine, app
. In order to verify the guards of
this definition we must show that (rev (cdr x))
produces a
, since that is what the guard of app
requires. How do we
know that (rev (cdr x))
is a true-listp
? The most elegant argument
is a two-step one, appealing to the following two lemmas: (1) When x
is a true-listp
, (cdr x)
is a true-listp
. (2) When z
is a
, (rev z)
is a true-listp
. But the second lemma is a
generalized property of rev
, the function we are defining. This
property could not be stated before rev
is defined and so is not
known to the theorem prover when rev
is defined.
Therefore, we might break the admission of rev
into three steps:
define rev
without addressing its guard verification, prove some
general properties about rev
, and then verify the guards. This can
be done as follows:
(defun rev (x) (declare (xargs :guard (true-listp x) :verify-guards nil)) ; Note this additional xarg. (cond ((endp x) nil) (t (app (rev (cdr x)) (list (car x))))))The ACL2 system can actually admit the original definition of(defthm true-listp-rev (implies (true-listp x2) (true-listp (rev x2))))
(verify-guards rev)
, verifying the guards as part of the defun
event. The
reason is that, in this particular case, the system's heuristics
just happen to hit upon the lemma true-listp-rev
. But in many
more complicated functions it is necessary for the user to formulate
the inductively provable properties before guard verification is
Note on computation of guard conjectures and evaluation. When ACL2
computes the guard conjecture for the body of a function, it
evaluates any ground subexpressions (those with no free variables), for
calls of functions whose :
runes are
d. Note that here, ``enabled'' refers to the current global
theory, not to any :
given to the guard verification
process; after all, the guard conjecture is computed even before its initial
goal is produced. Also note that this evaluation is done in an environment
as though :set-guard-checking :all
had been executed, so that we can
trust that this evaluation takes place without guard violations;
see set-guard-checking.

We will either replace the product at no charge or give you a refund. Return shipping costs are your responsibility.
More InfoWe use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!
Learn more about our free engravingAll of our collars, unless otherwise noted on the collar's page, are measured to the center hole for a TRUE neck size. Simply measure your dog's neck at the base for the proper collar size. There should always be enough room to slip one finger between your pet's neck and the collar, so do this as you determine your dog's neck size. The measurement of your dog's neck is the size of the collar it needs.
You don't buy pants for yourself that are a certain measurement and add or subtract several inches to get your true pants measurement, right? Why should you do that for your dog? We like to keep it simple and logical here at Dog IDs, Measure your dog's neck and order that size collar. That's the way it should be!
Simply measure your dog's neck at the base for the proper collar size. There should always be enough room between the pet's neck and the collar to slip one finger between them comfortably.
Method 1) Measure your dog's neck with a sewing tape while keeping two fingers between his skin and the tape.
Method 2) Wrap a string around your dogs neck with two fingers between his skin and the string. Mark the string and then measure the length of it.
Method 3) Remove your dog's current collar and stretch it out flat. Then measure from the center of the buckle to the current sizing hole being used.
