Polls: Obama holds upper hand over budget cuts
Polling indicates more would blame Republicans if cuts triggered
As the deadline for forced federal spending cuts closes fast, new polling indicates that as of now President Barack Obama has the upper hand over congressional Republicans in the political battle over where blame will fall if the cuts are triggered.
But the surveys also suggest that while the president might be winning the spending argument right now, his poll numbers on the issue are nothing to brag about.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Wednesday morning, two-thirds of the public disapprove of how congressional Republicans are handling the issue of federal spending, with only 26 percent giving them a thumbs-up.
A slight majority (52 percent) also disapprove of how Obama is handling the issue but his 43 percent approval rating on federal spending is 17 points higher than that of congressional Republicans.
And if no deal is reached by Friday and the forced spending cuts, known inside the Beltway as the sequester, start taking affect this weekend, more fingers will be pointed at GOP lawmakers. Forty-five percent of those questioned in a Pew Research Center/Washington Post survey released earlier this week said congressional Republicans should take more blame, with 32 percent saying they'd place more blame with the president, and 13 percent saying both sides should be blamed equally.
Here's another way to illustrate the point: An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll from Tuesday indicates that Americans are divided over whether Obama is emphasizing unifying the country or taking a partisan approach. But by a 3-1 margin, they say that congressional Republicans are putting partisanship over unity, according to the survey.
"It looks like this could turn into a "lose-lose" scenario for both sides, although the Republicans appear to have more to lose than Obama," CNN polling director Keating Holland said. "It's likely that the GOP will get most of the blame if the forced spending cuts actually take effect, but there's a lot of blame to go around, and if a majority disapprove of how Obama is handling this issue, it's unlikely he will escape any blowback from the sequester."
While Democrats are overwhelmingly united in their support of how the president's handling the federal spending, the ABC/Washington Post poll indicates that Republicans are divided (44 percent-51 percent) on how GOP lawmakers are dealing with the issue.
Obama has the upper hand on this ongoing fiscal fight, but it appears his advantage is diminished from the battle just two months ago over the fiscal cliff.
The president's 13-point advantage over the GOP in Congress for blame on the sequester is half of the 26-point advantage over them during December's fight over the fiscal cliff.

Flood insurance premiums blocked
Submitted by WIKY News on Tue, 10/29/2013 - 3:11pm
A bipartisan agreement has apparently staved off a potential large increase in flood insurance premiums. Changes to a federal subsidy program were set to raise flood insurance premiums for some homeowners by 300%. Homeowners in the National Flood Insurance Program have been helped with a subsidy, but the federal government recently removed the subsidy. The agreement between House and Senate members is expected to delay the increase by at least 4 years. Indiana real estate expert Greg Cooper says the bill's author never intended to raise premiums.

The health care debate is full of numbers: 48.6 million uninsured Americans; $2.6 trillion spent on health care annually; family premiums that have increased 97 percent over the past decade.
But those numbers are abstract and hold little meaning for Americans struggling to pay their medical bills.
Perhaps a more accurate number is $3,200: the average out-of-pocket health care cost for a family of four in 2011. Or $815 -- the typical cost of an abdominal MRI in Chicago. Or $24,431 -- the hospital fee for having a pacemaker inserted in San Diego.
Those are the numbers that can leave you feeling helpless.
When you're ill, the last thing you should do is turn down care. Instead, learn to take charge of your health care costs to prevent your medical bill from making you even sicker.
"(People) frequently overpay for services just because they don't know that there's price variation -- that you can get the exact same care at a different facility across the street for a fraction of the cost," says Dr. Jeffrey Rice, founder of HealthCareBlueBook.com, a free price comparison website for patients.
Rice often tells the story of his son, who needed outpatient foot surgery. Rice was initially quoted $37,000 for the procedure. His total after insurance and discounts would be around $20,000, the doctor told him. So Rice asked if there was another facility where they could get the procedure.
His new total? $1,500 for a happy and healthy son.
"If there was a gas station that said $20 a gallon, you would not go there, correct?" Rice asks. "But in health care, that's how bad it is. There are people who pay five times too much for their health care every day."
Just ask
The best way to lower your health care costs can be summed up in two words: Just ask.
Tell your doctor up front that you're concerned about price, Rice says, and ask them to help you save money. Ask how much the procedure is going to cost. Ask if the test they've ordered is necessary or if you can wait a week to see if the condition heals on its own. Ask if there's a cheaper alternative or generic version of the medication they've prescribed.
"Those are fair questions to ask your doctor," Rice says. "Many times, the doctors know ways to give you perfectly good care without running up large health care bills."
Another important question to ask is whether the doctor or facility is in your insurance network, says Karen Pollitz, an expert in private insurance with the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation.
Going outside of your insurance company's preferred network of caregivers can double your out-of-pocket costs. Most companies have a website or number where patients can call to check, but you should also call the doctor or hospital to confirm, Pollitz says.
Patients should also feel free to ask about payment plans for larger bills. Medical providers usually offer lower interest rates than a credit card company. And nonprofit hospitals are mandated by law to have financial relief programs for the uninsured and underinsured. Many hospitals and doctors' offices will also waive a portion of the bill if you pay in cash.
"Always ask," Pollitz stresses. "The worst it can be is a waste of time."
Befriend your local pharmacist
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, pharmacists are now encouraged to slow down and talk to clients, says Ernest Boyd, executive director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association.
Called "medication therapy management," this section of Medicare Part D helps pharmacists focus on the patients they serve instead of just filling bottles at a rapid rate. Take advantage by chatting up your pharmacist on a regular basis.
Think about it, Boyd says: "What other health professional do you have available to walk up to and talk to for free who has a six-year doctorate degree?"
Patients often have multiple doctors and specialists they're seeing, with medications from each. This can lead to complications, duplications and drugs that are added solely to treat the side effects of other drugs, Boyd says.
A pharmacist can look at the larger picture if you arrange a "brown bag review," he says. Bring all the drugs you're taking (prescription, over-the-counter and natural remedies) in to the pharmacy and have a pharmacist go over them one by one.
For example, one elderly patient was taking 14 drugs prescribed by multiple doctors for various ailments. Boyd cut that down to eight, saving her more than $1,200 in co-payments without altering her treatment.
At the very least, your pharmacist should be able to recommend a generic or alternative medication for the one you're taking at a much cheaper price.

Best ATO purchase By Oscar on 11/26/13
Oscar would recommend this product to a friendI love this ATO easy to put anywhere either in sump or in your tank. I love that it had magnets not suction cups that easily fall of and can dump water into your sump. I also, love that it includes its own pump without the need to purchase one and the replacement its cheap aswell. -
Ok product, but be careful By Nano Pete on 11/26/13
Nano Pete would recommend this product to a friendAfter almost flooding my basement twice and contacting Bulk reef supply; I was contacted by Tunze technician and he worked with me to fix my problems. When attaching switch with magnet onto sump glass the maget affects the switch if the glass is too thin. I needed to shim between the two magnets for the switch to work properly. Also, be aware of creating a siphon from reservior to were your supplying ATO water. As far as quality; You get what you pay for...
Pros- works as advertised.
Cons- doesnt come with clear instructions
Excellent ATO By Michael on 11/25/13
Michael would recommend this product to a friendI just installed this in a Nuvo 24 and it's working excellent to keep my water level exactly where I want it. The pump can fit right into a 5 gallon polyurethane jug without modification, which is really nice if you don't have a special RO Reservoir. It was easy to assemble and install and the pump is quiet enough to not bother my wife.
My only two complaints of this system: I wish the control box had tabs to mount with screws to the interior of my stand and I would love for the control box to have some kind of LED that either indicates the unit is powered or that the pump is on. I feel like for the price a single LED in the control box isn't a crazy expectation. Other than that it's an excellent product. -
Great product By Bobo on 11/24/13
Bobo would recommend this product to a friendWe'll built . It got to me very speedy with great shipping and packaged well. Works like a charm I will deff be getting another -
Great product from Tunze, no surprise there. By Andrew on 11/2/13

Perfect for my Nano tank By MICKEY on 10/7/13
MICKEY would recommend this product to a friendNo issues so far. I installed this in an 8-gallon tank so I am especially happy for the auto-cutoff. Seems pretty solid! -
upgrade By Red Fish on 10/4/13
Red Fish wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI purchased this nano because I was so happy with the 3155. May of this year.
It never really worked like it should, it had an electrical problem right away but I thought I could live with it until just stopped a few days ago. My hubby checked the electrical current and it did not have one.
So I am now purchasing the 3155 to replace this one. If you are trying to decide which one to go with. I HIGHLY recommend the 3155 even though it is more expensive. I wish I had. -
Nano ATO jury still out By RikerBear on 9/26/13
RikerBear would recommend this product to a friendI bought two of these for my nano reef and for my FOWLR. The one for the nano works great...thenone on the FOWLR sticks and won't always activate (pump not float sensor).
I ordered a replacement pump, so we shall see how it works -
Simple and easy set up. By Barbra on 9/7/13
Barbra would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this to complete my nano set up. I have a 24 gallon Nuvo by IM and this ATO compliments it well. I installed last night in about 15 minutes. Worked well when I tested it. It fits great in the back chamber. -
One of the best additions to my tank! By Paul on 8/8/13
Paul would recommend this product to a friendDefinitely one of the best additions to my tank so far. It was easy to set up, and I haven't had any issues with it yet. Throw the pump in a container with RO/DI, set the float where you want it, plug it in, and away you go. Water level is staying constant and salinity is stable. It's great! Going to eventually upgrade to the 3155 and use this for my QT/HT. -
Does what it needs to do! By Brett on 8/5/13
Brett would recommend this product to a friendInstallation was simple and easy to understand. Strong little pump. Has no problem pushing the water from the bottom of my stand to the top of the tank (JBJ 28 Gallon Nano Cube w/stand). -
Working great. The magnetic mounting system is fantastic. By Arabo on 7/24/13
Arabo would recommend this product to a friend
I bought this system to pump some distilled water from a 5 gallon water tank to a container that is about 10ft above. The pump was a bit too large to fit into the 5 gallon tank and I had to use a smaller submersible pump but the magnetic mounting system for the float valve alone was worth buying it.
BulkReefSupply offers great customer service and support.
Thank you,

Ask a Question About 'Tunze Osmolator Nano 3152 Auto Top Off'
Previously Asked Questions
by Clayton on August 29, 2013, @3:36 PM
Why can't this model be used on a larger system?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Clayton,
The unit is not suited to large aquariums because it has a timer based cut off so the pump will only run for a short period of time. Using it with a large tank can result in the the pump turning off before its finished replacing the evaporation.
Introducing the little brother to the Tunze Osmolator, one of the industry's most trusted automatic water top-off device and BRS Recommended. Designed specifically for smaller aquariums, roughly 50 gallons and under, the Osmolator Nano 3152 is a slimmed down version of the full sized 3155. It includes a processor-based anti-overfill system which turns the pump off if after five minutes of filling the level has still not been reached. The Osmolator Nano includes the control unit, low voltage (6V) pump, power adapter, 3m hose, magnet mount and protective cover.

Hopes were briefly raised then dashed Tuesday for an imminent calm between Israel and Hamas as diplomats fervently sought a way to stop the deadly violence.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in the region, where she met for more than two hours with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She is expected to meet later with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy, who is working to broker a cease-fire.
Gaza is run by Hamas, which the United States and other countries consider a terrorist organization.
Clinton offered Israel the support of the United States and expressed hope for a lasting solution as she spoke to reporters alongside Netanyahu at the prime minister's office in Jerusalem. She thanked Egypt and especially Morsy for their efforts.
"President Obama asked me to come to Israel with a very clear message. America's commitment to Israel's security is rock solid and unwavering. That is why we believe it is essential to de-escalate the situation in Gaza," she said. "The goal must be a durable outcome that promotes regional stability and advances the security and legitimate aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians alike."
Tuesday marked the seventh day of deadly violence that that has turned life into a nightmare for millions in Israel and Gaza. Rockets rained as the death toll continued to climb.
There was a moment when it looked like the attacks might stop. A senior Hamas official told CNN a "calming down" would be announced at 9 p.m. local time (2 p.m. ET). But that did not happen.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri later said that Israel had not agreed to terms that would stop the fighting.
Similarly, Egypt's Morsy said the "travesty of the Israel aggression on Gaza will end in a few hours." But a few hours passed, and Morsy's office told CNN not to expect any announcement Tuesday night.
A "calming down" could halt violence, but it is not the same as an official cease-fire or truce. Israel has said it wants a cease-fire agreement but has not indicated whether one could be imminent.
"Obviously, no country can tolerate a wanton attack on its civilians," said Netanyahu, standing beside Clinton. "Now, if there is a possibility of achieving a long-term solution to this problem through diplomatic means, we prefer that. But if not, I'm sure you understand that Israel will have to take whatever actions necessary to defend its people."
Netanyahu accused "terrorist enemies" of "doing everything in their power to maximize the number of civilian casualties."
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, 27 people were killed Tuesday, including children, and 137 Palestinians have been killed since the latest hostilities erupted. More than 1,100 people were injured. It's not clear how many of the victims were militants.
Five people have been killed in Israel, according to Israel's Soroka Hospital. More than 70 have been injured, including soldiers, Israeli officials have said.
The death toll in Israel moved from three to four early Tuesday when an 18-year-old soldier was killed in a rocket attack in the town of Eshkol, officials said. It climbed from four to five, according to the hospital, when a 30-year-old Bedouin was killed.
Israel said it was holding off on a ground offensive into Gaza to give diplomatic efforts time. Those efforts include talks with Clinton and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
A source familiar with discussions in Jerusalem told CNN, "One of the Israeli demands is that there should be a period of total calm for 24 hours before committing to any agreement."
Israeli spokesman Mark Regev told CNN, "Diplomacy is still ongoing."
"It's in the hands now of the Israelis," Osama Hamdan, Hamas spokesman in Beirut, told CNN earlier by phone. "... I think the Egyptians are waiting for some support, promised support, from the United States in order to make an end for that. So we expect to have an outcome of this issue today as President Morsy has said." That "expected" outcome didn't arrive.
Speaking early Wednesday, Hamdan said he believes Hamas and Israel are close to a cease-fire agreement.
"I can say that we are close, and we are on the edge. It may happen, and it may not," he said. Later, Hamdan added, "I believe there is a good chance to have a cease-fire, which can fulfill the needs of both sides."
Regev said Israel is not interested in a "time out," allowing Hamas to regroup after Israeli strikes have done damage. "We want a new reality" in which Israelis don't live under rocket fire from Hamas, he said.
To succeed, negotiations have to be done "discreetly," he said.
Hamdan said Hamas' actions have been "a good lesson for the Israeli government. It's not good to attack the Palestinians, expecting that they will not react against the attack."
Asked whether Hamas would accept Israel's right to exist, Hamdan said the Palestinian people would not consider it without an end to occupation.

Type 2 Diabetes Overview
Type 2 diabetes, once called non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes, affecting 90% to 95% of the 26 million Americans with diabetes.
What Is Type 2 Diabetes?
Unlike people with type 1 diabetes, the bodies of people with type 2 diabetes make insulin. But either their pancreas does not make enough insulin or the body cannot use the insulin well enough. This is called insulin resistance. When there isn't enough insulin or the insulin is not used as it should be, glucose (sugar) can't get into the body's cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, the body's cells are not able to function properly. Other problems associated with the buildup of glucose in the blood include:
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 and you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Suprapubic cystostomy is a procedure to help drain the bladder (organ that collects and holds urine). A tube called a catheter, which leads out of the lower abdomen, is inserted to drain the bladder.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done if you cannot urinate and a catheter cannot be passed through your urethra to help you urinate. The urethra is where urine passes out of the body from the bladder. Urine may not be able pass through the urethra due to:
- Narrowing of the urethra
Other blockage due to:
- Kidney stones
- Inflammation
- Infection
- Injury
- Prostate disease (in men)
The procedure may also be done if you need to:
- Avoid damaging the urethra
- Have surgery on the urethra or nearby structures
- Have a catheter in your body long-term
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Damage to the bowel or other surrounding structures
- Need for a repeat procedure
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Blood clots
- Anesthesia reaction
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Bleeding disorders
- Medicines that reduce blood clotting
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Previous abdominal surgery
- Bladder cancer
Discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Imaging, blood, and urine tests
- Talk about the anesthesia being used and the potential risks
You should also talk to your doctor about your medicines. If this is not an emergency situation, you may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure. These medicines may include:
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Anti-platelets
Your doctor may ask you to take certain medicines before surgery.
In the days before the surgery:
- Arrange for a ride home from the hospital.
- You may need to avoid eating for eight hours before the surgery.
- If instructed by your doctor, drink only clear liquids (eg, water, clear juices, tea). You may be asked to drink extra fluids to fill the bladder.
Note: These steps may not be possible in an emergency situation.
Local anesthesia may be used with or without sedation. You will not have any pain during the procedure.
Description of the Procedure
After anesthesia has numbed the area, the doctor will locate the bladder using imaging tools such as ultrasound if needed. Next, a needle will be inserted through your lower abdomen and into your bladder. A wire will then be guided through the needle into the bladder to prepare the site for a catheter. A special catheter will be placed into the bladder over the wire. The catheter will be sutured in place. A balloon may be inflated to keep the catheter in place. Afterward, the opening made in the skin (called a stoma) will be covered with gauze.
How Long Will It Take?
10-45 minutes
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You will be given pain medicine to ease pain and soreness after the surgery.
Average Hospital Stay
You will either stay in the hospital overnight or go home the same day.
Post-procedure Care
The hospital staff will:
- Monitor your recovery
- Help you to eat and move around again
- Give you pain medicine
- Teach you how to care for your catheter
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Take medicines as directed.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects for two weeks.
- Drink plenty of fluids (8-10 glasses per day).
- Do not drive or have sex until your doctor tells you that it is safe to do so.
- Follow the guidelines for changing the catheter and collection bag.
Keep the stoma site clean and dry:
- Cleaning the incision site as directed.
- Using a soft wash cloth to gently wipe the incision area.
- Changing dressings daily, or more as directed.
- Asking your doctor when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Pain or cramps
- Redness or soreness around the catheter site
- Catheter fails to drain
- Catheter falls outs
- Changes in frequency, odor, appearance, or volume of urine
- Signs of infection, including fever or chills
- Bloody urine
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Developers can license the Ephemeris library. Ephemeris users find 3200 years of read-made printable files of ephemerides, containing 19'200 print pages in PDF quality.
[German: wir bereiten eine deutsche Version dieser Seite zum Thema Swiss Ephemeris vor].
The Swiss Ephemeris is available under a dual licensing model. (see Download area).
- The Swiss Ephemeris is based upon the latest planetary and lunar ephemeris, DE405/406, developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The original integration, DE405, covered the years 3000 BC to 3000 AD and required 550 Mb of disk space. DE406 is a compressed version of DE405 which requires 200 MB while maintaining a precision of better than 1 m for the moon and 25 m for the planets. These data have been further compressed with sophisticated compression techniques developed by Astrodienst. The ephemeris now requires for the complete 6000 years only 5 Mb for all planets except the Moon, and 13 Mb for the Moon. This compressed ephemeris reproduces the JPL data with 0.001 arcseconds precision.
- We have extended the timespan of the JPL ephemeris by numerical integration, so that Swiss Ephemeris covers the years 5400 BC to 5400 AD, a total of 10'800 years. For this extended timespan the ephemeris requires 32 Mbytes of ephemeris files.
- All transformation steps from the inertial timeframe of the JPL DE406 integration to the reference frame for astrological coordinates (true equinox of date), all corrections like relativistic aberration, deflection of light in the gravity field of the Sun etc. have been performed with utmost care and precision so that the target precision of 0.001 arcsec is maintained through all transformation steps. Never before has such a high precision ephemeris been available to astrologers.
- Swiss Ephemeris contains three ephemerides. The user can choose whether he/she wants to use the original JPL DE406 data (if available at his/her site), the compressed Swiss Ephemeris data (the default) or a built in semianalytic theory by Steve Moshier. The Swiss Ephemeris package switches automatically to the available best precision ephemeris dependent on which installed ephemeris files it finds. Even without any stored ephemeris files, using the Moshier model, planetary positions with better than 0.1 seconds of arc precision are available (3 arcsec for the Moon). i
In addition to the astronomical planets as contained in the JPL integration,
we have included all other bodies and hypothetical
factors which are of interest to the astrologer. We have used our
own numerical integration program
to provide ephemerides for ALL known asteroids. There are over 55'000 of
them and nobody will be able to use them all. We distribute these
extended asteroid files via our download area; there are also
CDROMs available with large sets of asteroid files.
Asteroid reaserachers may be interested in a December 1998 article in the Economist magazine about the naming of asteroids. - Speed: The Swiss Ephemeris is precise and fast. On our Linux test machine, a 1000 MHz Pentium III, we compute 10'000 complete sets of planetary positions, i.e. 10'000 x 11 planets, in 9 seconds. This is 0.9 milliseconds for the complete set of exact planetary positions (consecutive 1 day steps).
Swiss Ephemeris is made available by its authors under a dual licensing system. The software developer, who uses any part of Swiss Ephemeris in his or her software, must choose between one of the two license models, which are
- a) GNU public license version 2 or later
- b) Swiss Ephemeris Professional License
If the developer choses the GNU GPL software license, he or she must fulfill
the conditions of that license, which includes the obligation to place his
or her whole software project under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html
If the developer choses the Swiss Ephemeris Professional license, he must follow the instructions below and purchase the Swiss Ephemeris Professional Edition from Astrodienst and sign the corresponding license contract.
The License grants you the right to use, copy, modify and redistribute Swiss Ephemeris, but only under certain conditions described in the License. Among other things, the License requires that the copyright notices and this notice be preserved on all copies.
Authors of the Swiss Ephemeris: Dieter Koch and Alois Treindl
The authors of Swiss Ephemeris have no control or influence over any of the derived works, i.e. over software or services created by other programmers which use Swiss Ephemeris functions.
The names of the authors or of the copyright holder (Astrodienst) must not be used for promoting any software, product or service which uses or contains the Swiss Ephemeris. This copyright notice is the ONLY place where the names of the authors can legally appear, except in cases where they have given special permission in writing.
Both types of licenses include the right to use the label 'Swiss Ephemeris Inside' on products.
If you want the Swiss Ephemeris Professional License for your software project, please proceed as follows:
- print the licensing contract in two copies
- fill the printed copies out and sign them
- mail them (not email, but real paper) to Astrodienst AG, attention Dr. Alois Treindl, Dammstr. 23, 8702 Zollikon, Switzerland.
- do not forget the credit card details (if you live outside D,CH,A where we deliver with invoice)
- we will countersign the contract and send it together with the CDROM to you. We will charge your credit card when we ship the software.
- If you are in a hurry, you can fax the contract to us, and we will ship (and charge the credit card) immediately. You still need to mail us the signed paper, to receive it countersigned.
If you want the Swiss Ephemeris Free Edition for your software project, please proceed as follows:
- download the software
- make sure you understand the License conditions
- start programming
The Swiss Ephemeris documentation consists of two parts.
The General Manual describes our work and the technical background.
The Programmer's Manual describes the implementation details and the programming interface to the DLL resp. library functions.
Demo Programs can be downloaded from ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/programs. A utility unzip.exe is also provided to unpack the download archive format.
- swewin.exe is a Windows program which computes complete horoscopes including houses and asteroids.
swetest.exe is a MSDOS program which computes planetary positions.
It is very versatile and can be used to create tables of ephemerides, or
other tabular data for export to Excel.
