A personalized web page is generated by an Electronic Publishing System (EPS) based on predetermined profiles representative of the user's optimum mode of learning. The user's optimum mode of learning is based upon the Theory of Multiple Intelligences for seven (7) different modes of learning. An algorithm calculates user profiles based upon the learning theory. Alternatively, the user fills out a questionnaire provided by the system to determine the user's optimum mode of learning. The questionnaire elicits answers used to calculate the user's optimum mode of learning. An algorithm calculates the user's profile and encodes the profile as a vector of weights for the seven modes of learning. Document templates are created to define the structure of information to be presented to the user. When a user requests information, the user profile is obtained from the cookie or server and the information is presented to the user based on his / her profile which displays the information in the user's optimum learning mode.

A crossbow employs bowstring redirecting wheels, over which the bowstring travels, to keep the bowstring aligned with the main force vectors where the bowstring meets the tips of the crossbow power limbs or spring limbs. The bowstring is anchored to a fixed anchor points, which can be on the pylons on which the redirecting wheels are mounted, or may be at the tips of the spring limbs. In one embodiment the bowstring passes over a pulley wheel at the tip of the spring limb. This crossbow arrangement achieves superior acceleration, and can be constructed of smaller transverse dimension than conventional or compound crossbows.

A method for differential rendering a portal page that includes a plurality of page elements (10, 12, 14) and refreshing the portal page. The method includes providing a complete portal page (20, 22). A request for the portal page is then sent and / or received (28). The request can represent user events. In a next step, page elements (10, 12, 14) of the portal page to be updated are identified (30, 31) on the basis of the user events. A page delta is then calculated (32), wherein each page element (10, 12, 14) is associated with a refresh policy depending on the semantics of the respective page element (10, 12, 14). The page delta can include the markup elements of the page elements to be updated. Next the page delta is transferred (34) to the existing portal page and merged (40) with the existing portal page.
