“Imagine if you could consult an astrologer that could tell you exactly what career you are suited for!” This vision is no longer the future. It has been released today. So far with 2 career groups: Scientists and politicians. By combining astrology with artificial intelligence (also known as neural networks) Eskild Rasmussen from Denmark has been able to create a tool that can identify a profession with very high accuracy - something that has never been done before.

A neural network is a computer program that unlike other computer programs can be trained to perform a task, which in most cases is some kind of pattern recognition. Eskild Rasmussen has baptized his neural network AstroMate. Based on a natal chart AstroMate can identify a profession from other unrelated professions, like e.g. scientists from politicians. At present AstroMate finds it hard to distinguish related professions like e.g. scientists from writers or politicians from actors - but it is only a matter of time, before AstroMate can deal with these finer nuances.

The success with AstroMate means that astrology can now be proven with scientific means. When dealing with professions which are not related, AstroMate is 100% precise. So far no scientific institutions has accepted to test AstroMate although Eskild Rasmussen has made plenty of enquiries.
AstroMate requires that the charts are very exact before they can be processed; this means that the charts have to be rectified first. Rectification means moving the birth time according to dates and locations for major events in the chart holder's life. In other words: By finding the important events in a person's future chart, the astrologer can find the exact birth time.

The rectification procedure has been published in 2008 in the book "Neoastrology I - How to Make Exact and Precise Predictions" (http://www.lulu.com/content/2100735 ). Of course an astrologer, who masters rectification can also make very accurate predictions, which again can be tested by scientists under controlled conditions.

Scientists uncover oldest known DNA on Earth

Ice samples retrieved from 1.2 miles (2km) beneath the surface of Greenland have uncovered the oldest known samples of DNA from insects. The samples, estimated to be 450,000-900,000 years old, have also shown that no more than one million years ago, Greenland was once home to forests and animal life.

"We have shown for the first time that southern Greenland, which is hidden under 2km of ice, was once very different to the Greenland we see today. Back then, it was inhabited by a diverse array of conifer trees and insects," said Professor and leader of the team who made the discovery, at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, Eske Willerslev.

"This genetic material presents a biological environment which is completely different to today. We have found grain, pine, yew and alder. These correspond to the landscapes we find in eastern Canada and in Swedish forests today," added Willerslev.

Willerslev also says that because of the presence of the yews, the temperatures in that area of Greenland could not have been "lower than 17 degrees Celsius" and that with the variety of other trees, the summer temperatures were no lower than "10 degrees Celsius."

These findings could change the history of Greenland. The current theory is that Greenland was free from its ice no more than 125,000 years ago. The results of the findings now suggest that Greenland may have been covered with ice for at least 450,000 years.
