Analysis indicates that the military helicopter market will reach a value of $19.4bn in 2012, as militaries worldwide continue to develop and upgrade their rotorcraft capabilities for a number of military settings and roles.
The analyst commented that 'Whilst established military nations in the West will aim to fight financial constraints and continue to spend on helicopter procurement and upgrade programmes in order to maintain their current fleets, emerging military nations such as South Korea, India, and China will also be prominent players over the next decade, as their growing military spending reflects their increasingly important geopolitical position and military ambitions.'
The report contains 235 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the military helicopter market. The study provides forecasts for the period 2012-2022 in terms of value (US$) and units for the global military helicopter market, as well as for 7 submarkets (Attack Helicopters, Reconnaissance Helicopters, Heavy-Lift Cargo Helicopters, Medium Utility Helicopters, Light Utility Helicopters, Maritime Helicopters, and Search and Rescue Helicopters) of the military helicopter market. 20 leading national military helicopter markets are forecast and analysed by Visiongain over the period 2012-2022. In addition, the 7 submarkets are individually forecast for each of the leading 20 national markets. The report provides profiles of 12 leading companies operating within the market, and includes an interview with a principal military helicopter company, providing expert insight alongside the analysis.
The Military Helicopter Market 2012-2022 will be of value to current and future potential investors into the military helicopter industry, as well as companies and research centres who wish to broaden their knowledge of the military helicopter market.

Not a whole lot of fans are aware of this, but Naomi Knight has been missing in action for WWE for a couple of weeks now. The Total Divas star has now revealed that she has been on the sidelines because she needed minor surgery to help further repair her injured eye. Naomi last worked a tag team match on an episode of Monday Night Raw at the end of July.
August 30, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that WWE had pulled Daniel Bryan from the upcoming European tour in November. The former world heavyweight champion was scheduled to make appearances at the live events on that continent. Reports are now surfacing that management made the decision to pull him from the tour because Bryan has received confirmation from doctors that a second surgery is needed to repair his neck injury.
August 29, 2014
As many are already aware, Konnan has been having issues with his hips over the last couple of years. It's the reason why he has been forced to stay away from the ring. The former WCW star revealed that he wants one final match after his next surgery. Since he is involved with AAA, the belief is that his match will be held for that promotion. No word yet on who he wants as his final opponent.
August 18, 2014
Another speed bump has presented itself in the career of Shelton Benjamin. The former Intercontinental Champion has suffered a serious knee injury while working in Japan. He is expected to miss a couple of months of action because of the surgery. Benjamin was sidelined earlier in the year when he had surgery on his elbow, but he recovered much quicker than expected from that injury.
August 17, 2014
It looks like Santino Marella isn't quite ready to give up on his in ring career just yet. The former Intercontinental Champion stated that he will be undergoing surgery to repair his neck. Marella also stated that he is going to make a comeback attempt after spending a couple of months in recovery. He did not mention WWE specifically, but the belief is that the company has left the door open for him.
August 14, 2014
In order to help promote her upcoming match at Summerslam 2014 against Stephanie McMahon, Brie Bella is on the road this weekend for WWE. The company is sending her and Nikki Bella to the Wizard World event in San Antonio. Brie is still on a reduced schedule, as management wants to give her time to be with Daniel Bryan while he is still recovering from his neck surgery.
August 2, 2014
With his health being quite the uncertainty at this point in time, there are all sorts of rumors floating around about the return of Daniel Bryan. The latest one has the former WWE champion coming back at Royal Rumble 2015. Much of that is speculation, though, since Bryan needs to go in for another surgery, and there's no telling how his body will react to the procedure.
August 2, 2014
Initially, Daniel Bryan had surgery to repair a seriously damaged neck. However, doctors found further issues for the former WWE champion recently. His shoulders are pretty messed up as well. Additional procedures could be required to repair all of the damage to his body. Bryan is out indefinitely, and there is no timetable backstage for his return.
July 10, 2014
Some rumors have surfaced that Daniel Bryan is returning to WWE soon, and the cause of the confusion is over the fact that he was spotted in the ring with his wrestling gear on last night. The former world heavyweight champion was simply filming a public service announcement. Even though he informed the fans in the arena that he might still need another surgery to repair his damaged neck, some were still under the belief that he was coming back soon.
July 2, 2014
Thanks to an errant throw into the guard rail by Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett has underwent ligament reconstruction surgery. WWE is reporting that the operation went well and that Barrett is at home resting now. No official word yet on how long he will be gone, but rumors are floating that it will be for several months, which is why WWE stripped him of the Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw this week.
July 2, 2014
While there is still a chance that he was working the audience during his speech at Money in the Bank 2014, the topic of Daniel Bryan require a second surgery to repair his neck is a major issue for WWE. Reports are surfacing that if it is true that he needs to go under the knife again, there is a very good chance that Bryan could miss up to a year of action.
June 30, 2014
A lot of rumors have been floating around as of late in regards to the condition that Scott Hall has been in at conventions and independent wrestling shows. Promoters and fans have been accusing the former WWE star of being in really bad shape, which has led to speculations that he might be losing his battle against sobriety. Sean Waltman, however, has been telling people that Hall is under heavy medication because of recurring pain from his hip surgery.
June 26, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, reports are surfacing that the audience at Monday Night Raw did not react much when WWE announced that Daniel Bryan would be making an appearance at Money in the Bank 2014. That comes as a surprise because he was really one of the most popular guys in the industry before he left to have surgery on his injured neck. It should be interesting to see how fans react to him at the pay per view itself.
June 24, 2014
Not too long ago, Rock revealed to the world that his cousin Tamina Snuka was one of the hardest working and most determined people he knows. He noted that she was a single mother of two, who went from being a janitor to being a WWE star. Her determination is showing yet again because Tamina is recovering much quicker than expected from her knee surgery, which was expected to keep her out of action until the end of the year.
June 15, 2014
If you're a big fan of Tamina Snuka, get used to not seeing her on television for the rest of the year. The WWE diva just had knee surgery to repair a torn ACL, and she is expected to be sidelined for the next six months. No word yet on when the injury actually occurred, but her last televised match was on the final episode of Smackdown in May.
June 7, 2014
Some disturbing news is coming out of WWE. Word going around is that Daniel Bryan has been losing strength in his arm. The world heavyweight champion has been trying to rehabilitate after having much needed neck surgery, but things are not progressing as well as WWE had hoped. There is a very good chance that he will be missing more time than initially expected.
June 5, 2014
During the latest WWE NXT show, an interesting injury was revealed. Adrian Neville had four teeth knocked out of his mouth during a backstage segment with Brodus Clay, who has been down in developmental for several months now. Neville had dental surgery to repair the teeth and now wears a mouth guard during matches to prevent further damage.
May 31, 2014
One of the more recognizable moves in WWE right now is the Daniel Bryan flying headbutt. It has become a big part of his repertoire. After his latest surgery, management is trying to convince Bryan to drop the move, as it has the potential to make his situation even worse than it is now. Some are citing the damage that it caused to Chris Benoit, who used that move routinely.
May 23, 2014
WWE is wrapping up their tour of Europe and the performers will be heading back to the United States. The next episode of Monday Night Raw is taking place in Tennessee, and Daniel Bryan, who recently had neck surgery, is being advertised to make an appearance. This could be a swerve by Stephanie McMahon to further sell the story line between the two.
May 21, 2014
Some good news coming out of WWE today, as it is being reported that Daniel Bryan underwent successful surgery to repair his neck injury. The procedure, which took place in Pittsburgh, went well enough to where doctors are stating that he could be released from the hospital within two days. As of right now, the guess is that he will need approximately three months of recovery time before returning to WWE.
May 15, 2014
During a recent interview with Alternative Nation, Hornswoggle was asked about his backstage heat with the Rock. The WWE star revealed some details about an incident that took place when the Rock was revealed as the special guest host of Wrestlemania 27. Hornswoggle stated that the Rock confused him for a Make a Wish kid. Rock apparently tapped him on the shoulders and asked if he had a good time at the show.
August 29, 2014
During a recent interview, Jinder Mahal revealed that he was surprised by his WWE release. He stated that he and Drew McIntyre had no signs from management that they were on the bubble. Mahal noted that 3MB, which currently only consists of Heath Slater and Hornswoggle, was booked on a lot of events, so they felt that their job security was not a concern at the time. WWE, however, needed to cut cost.
June 26, 2014
For those that are wondering about the fate of 3MB after Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre received their release from WWE earlier in the week, it appears that the company will keep Heath Slater and Hornswoggle together. The two of them worked a tag team match over the weekend at a WWE live event in Canada. The faced Diego and El Torito in a losing effort.
June 15, 2014
During a recent interview with the Post Crescent, Hornswoggle revealed something rather interesting. It appears that a good amount of fans have turned on him, with many openly wondering why he still has a job with WWE. Hornswoggle has been taking it well, however. He states that he simply laughs it off. The widespread belief is that his job security is pretty high thanks to the upcoming release of the Leprechaun movie, which he stars in.
June 11, 2014
During a recent interview while in Wisconsin for a live event, Hornswoggle revealed the person that helped him get hired with WWE. It was actually Mr Anderson, who now works for TNA. The company was look at about a dozen midget wrestlers at the time, and Anderson convinced management to sign Hornswoggle. Finlay was also revealed as another person that pushed for WWE to sign Hornswoggle.
June 8, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Drew McIntyre, where the WWE star mocked Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns for breaking up while he, Jinder Mahal, Hornswoggle and Heath Slater still remain a team.
June 4, 2014
A picture of WWE star Hornswoggle now that he has been shaved bald after a loss to El Torito at the Payback 2014 pay per view.
June 2, 2014
For those of you that did not watch the Payback 2014 kickoff match, El Torito defeated Hornswoggle with a flying top rope moonsault. Hornswoggle had gotten distracted by thinking that he won after pulling off the mask. Afterwards, Hornswoggle was forced to sit in a barber chair while El Torito shaved his head. Hornswoggle is now bald, and expect WWE to promote that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 1, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of El Torito celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Diego and Fernando before being attacked by Hornswoggle, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre.
May 6, 2014
A picture of the mini announce team used by WWE at Extreme Rules 2014 during the WeeLC match between Hornswoggle and El Torito. The trio basically was a mock version of JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler, where they were respectively named JB Elf, Micro Cole and Jerry Smaller.
May 5, 2014
During the Extreme Rules 2014 kickoff match, El Torito defeated Hornswoggle. He picked up the pin fall victory after jumping off the top rope and driving Hornswoggle through the table. Miniature tables and ladders were utilized during the WeeLC match. Diego, Fernando, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre were all involved in the match.
May 4, 2014
Over the last decade, it has been repeatedly stated that the creative department likes to do segments that amuse Vince McMahon, and it appears that they have done that once again by pairing Hornswoggle and El Torito together in a WeeLC match at Extreme Rules 2014, where the performers will most likely work with small ladders, tables and chairs.
April 29, 2014
A post from Twitter, where WWE star William Regal expresses some remorse for attacking Hornswoggle on Monday Night Raw once.
April 24, 2014
A video of the match between El Torito and Hornswoggle on WWE Main Event this week. The company wants to have these two performers working a series of matches, so expect to see more interaction between the two of them on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown in the coming weeks.
April 24, 2014
A video of the match between Hornswoggle, who rarely gets to wrestle in WWE nowadays, and El Torito on Smackdown.
April 21, 2014
One of the ideas being tossed around right now backstage in WWE is to have Hornswoggle and El Torito wrestling one another on a pretty frequent basis. The two of them will be featured on Smackdown this week, and there could be more matches coming up. WWE had the two of them training together for a couple of weeks to ensure that the match quality is decent.
April 17, 2014
On WWE Main Event, Hornswoggle teamed up with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre, which has caused some speculations to arise. Rumors over the past several weeks have stated that Heath Slater was unhappy backstage because he was not receiving a push. However, his absence on this show was unrelated, as Slater missed the show because he is heading to Saudi Arabia for a tour with WWE.
April 17, 2014
Every year, a couple of people within WWE are forced to miss the hall of fame induction ceremony because the company needs to keep the Axxess shows going. This year, Hornswoggle is going to be one of those people. He will be manning a booth while Jake Roberts, Ultimate Warrior, Scott Hall, Lita, Carlos Colon, Paul Bearer and Mr T are inducted.
April 5, 2014
A picture of Hornswoggle on a movie set with Tina Fey. The long time WWE performer has a brief role as a convict in a Russian prison in the new Muppets movie.
March 17, 2014
While he rarely gets television time on Monday Night Raw as is, Hornswoggle will certainly not be there this week, as the WWE star will be in Los Angeles, representing the company at the world premier of the Muppets Most Wanted movie. Aside from being a huge fan, he also has a cameo appearance in the film as well.

thanksforsayingthat answered:
Taylor sells more albums and singles than those who are trending all the time like…. everyday. Just because she doesn't trend all the time and for a whole day does not mean that she is not popular. I feel like Taylor's fans (most of us) don't really compete to get Taylor's attention (personal opinion) and also most of us can't be bothered to talk about shit dumb stuff and just random stuff that Taylor does…
but we do talk about dumb stuff taylor does… endlessly actually. And them we bring it up again 6 months later.
But like most of her fans aren't too concern with trying to make taylor trend. If she does then woo-ho! but we rarely strive to make a trend. When we do it's probably something huge and worth trending that involves taylor's career.
No one questions Taylor's popularity. Her career successes speak for themselves.
One time in sixth grade I was being bullied really badly, and this whole circle of people gathered around me and the girl that was bullying me, and she smirked and went 'You dumb rich bitch.' And everyone was like OOOOOOH and I stood there for a second before pulling 20 dollars out of my wallet, placed it in her hand, and said "Buy some better insults." And I swear the entire lunchroom rioted.

Who knew they played American Football in Italy? Not only do they embrace the sport but one team, the Bergamo Lions have released a public service announcement tackling homophobia and bullying in sports.
The video features out actor Carlo Gabardini.
In text that accompanied the clip the team say they are fighting against the "narrow-mindedness towards those who are different that is still present in Italian society".
They add "Homophobia is a serious problem, although many do not want to recognise it. It can push the most vulnerable to extreme measures. To this we say no . "
Now our Italian is pretty rusty so that's probably not a fabulous translation – but the clip seems to speak for itself.
Italian speakers can also check out the article.Feel free to supply a more accurate translation.
Watch the clip
- TOPICS: American Football, anti homophobia campaign, anti-bullying campaign, Bergamo Lions, Carlo Garbdini, football, gay, homophobia in football, Homophobia in sports, It Gets Better, Italy

We've been integrating statistics and deriving rankings from them for a couple of years now. Our process is to look at national ICT infrastructures on a relative - rather than absolute - basis, to provide a fair way to examine which countries are doing the mos with what they have.
Thus, South Korea tops our rankings, despite its position as the 15th-largest overall economy in the world. Relatively speaking, South Korea is the champ.
Perhaps more surprisingly, you'll find tiny Estonia and New Zealand getting the silver and bronze in our rankings. The US is nowhere to be found among the leaders. Neither are the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) or MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey) nations - relatively speaking, all of them could stand significant improvement.
But it would be good to know who are the biggest kids on the block, if not the most adept? Another way of posing the question would be "Whose Internet Burns the Brightest?"
By integrating population, average bandwidth, and Internet access, such a measure can be found.
China comes up the winner, with the US in second place. That is, China is consuming more bandwidth these days than the US - Great Firewall or not, there are more gigabits flowing throughout the Middle Kingdom than through America the Beautiful. (Note the pun: the Chinese word for United States, mei guo, is literally "beautiful country.")
This is surely a harbinger of the day when the Chinese economy will surpass that of the United States - something I still doubt is possible. But our numbers show that in the raw Internet economy, China is already the world leader.
The Top 10 in National Bandwidth
United States
South Korea
These findings actually astonish me. They show many things other than China's surprising lead:
South Korea is truly a force with which to be reckoned
Japan is still an incredibly dynamic place, despite its poor economic reputation over the past two "lost" decades
Vive la France. Always performs better than most Americans probably realize
Taiwan kicks butt and takes names by most relative measures, despite its smallish population and longstanding diplomatic isolation
Russia and Brazil, despite their shortcomings, are to be taken seriously because of their sheer size.
Average bandwidth is a tricky thing to measure, and can change dramatically over a short period of time. We use publicly available statistics from Ookla, Inc. We understand that the information we present here is more like an inexact social science than a precise engineering exercise.
But, as with all of our research, this measure provides a nice, general look and can start serious conversations.
Again, the measure I describe here is driven to a significant degree by population size. But all the peoples of the world deserve the benefits that a strong national Internet backbone can bring. This is why the core of our research is relative, to give those high-performing smaller and/or developing nations a more level playing field in which to compete for global investment, interest, and recognition.
As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Every healthy ecosystem is diverse. This is especially true in cloud ecosystems, where portability and interoperability are more important than old enterprise models of proprietary ownership. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mark Baker, Server Product Manager at Canonical/Ubuntu, will discuss how single vendors used to take the lead in creating and delivering technology, but in a cloud economy, where users want tools of their preference, when and where they need them, it makes no sense.

In the "Power of Madonna" episode of "Glee" set to air on Tuesday night (April 20), fans will get more than just remixes of favorite pop tunes. The Material Girl herself praised how Mr. Schuester will use her songs to teach his students a little more about themselves, and possibly change the way they interact with each other.
Jenna Ushkowitz said that her character Tina will use Madge's girl-power pop to clear up her relationship with pal and love interest Artie Abrams (played by Kevin McHale). "Well, definitely in the Madonna episode you'll see [Tina and Artie] interact more, and it's all about women's empowerment," she explained to MTV News at the GLAAD Media Awards in L.A. on Saturday. "And how the boys are degrading and disrespectful. Tina will come back and fight back pretty hard, and then the writers have graciously given us the chance to live out our relationship for a while."
Chris Colfer (who plays Kurt Hummel on the show) didn't shed too much light on the Madonna episode, but did weigh in on the rumors that Adam Lambert may bring his glam-rock voice and style to the show. "He's a sweetheart," he said. "I've only heard rumors, but I've never heard anything discussed with the writers or any of that."
But Colfer was able to speculate a bit on what's next for his openly gay character. "There's lots of good Kurt and Burt [Kurt's father] story lines coming up, and I think next season he's getting a love interest, so that should be interesting, I believe," he said. "They don't tell me anything, but I believe he'll be a student — but that's all I really know."
Do you think Adam Lambert should stop by "Glee?" Tell us in the comments!

Erinaceus europaeus - boar, sow, hoglet, piglet
Hedgehogs are very useful visitors to any garden. They eat slugs, beetles, caterpillars, and a variety of other cute creepy crawlies, and in fact everything that makes holes in your plants will probably be the prey of these spiky fellows, making them a must have in any garden. They have declined from 30 million in the 1970's to around 1 million now. We as humans are pretty poor at looking out for the wildlife we share our space with but this is one of the most horrific examples of our lack of caring. Pesticides kill!
Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to health. The diseases we're beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of this century and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin."
Dick Irwin, toxicologist at Texas A&M Universities
Slug pellets and pesticides kill slugs and insects because they are poisonous. That poison means they suffer a very painful death, do not use them. These insects and slugs do not eat to annoy you they eat to survive. The poison ensures a painful and slow death. It can be passed onto larger animals that eat them and go right through the food chain. The poison will end up in our water table when it rains. Whilst this may sound extreme it is not. We must protect our planet and maintain the balance. We can still progress but must strive to find greener solutions to everyday issues. If we all do just that little extra everyday we will be working towards a greener planet. What have you done today to make a differnce
Many of our most precious native creatures feed off these cute beasts so why not encourage them to frequent your garden and help balance our environment.
Hedgehogs will help keep your slug population under control, just a shallow bowl of water and an alternate meat based food supply will keep them with you.
Birds are also another predator of the slug and can be encourage into your garden with bird seed and a water supply.
Beer traps are an organic option to pesticides they are a container sunk in the ground with beer in it.
Grapefruit skin are another alternative. Put this on the ground like a dome and remove slugs daily. Move this around the garden.
The British Hedgehog Preservation Society say
Slug pellet confusion
Recently we have received letters and calls of concern from members and carers who have seen Bio Mini Slug Pellets advertised using pictures of hedgehogs. We are worried that people may think this means the pellets cannot harm hedgehogs. The pellets concerned made by PBI Homes & Gardens contain an ingredient called metaldehyde; we have post mortem reports of hedgehogs that have died from ingesting this chemical and believe that it does pose a threat to hedgehogs. We were approached by a representative of PBI Home & Gardens to endorse this product and refused because we believe the pellets pose a threat to hedgehogs. We explained this in our letter to the representative, enclosing copies of the aforementioned post mortem reports.
We, along with other concerned individuals and groups have written to the Advertising Standards Agency and Trading Standards voicing our fears. Letters have also been written to the stores where such promotions have been seen, and in response B&Q have said "The 'hedgehog friendly' claim made on the product packaging does not meet B&Q standards; hence B&Q will develop an action plan with our suppliers to delete this phrase from the packaging on a rolling programme.
Hedgehogs are opportunists and will rest and shelter where it is safe, for example a wild area or a pile sticks. A very well placed hedgehog house will help attract them and encourage them to stay.
Water is needed for our spiky friends but please make sure your pond has an area where a hedgehog can climb out by using a rock or mesh. Hedgehogs can swim but will quickly become cold and tired if they cannot get out as they cannot tread water indefinitely.
Milk isn't good for them and can upset their stomach. Dog food, nuts and minced meats are the most similar to a natural diet. They will eat sweet things, but like us their teeth will rot and with no false teeth or dentists on hand in the wild they will not survive without teeth.
Hedgehogs sometimes feed on eggs and chicks of ground-nesting birds.
Please be aware that drains can be a death traps if a hedgehog falls down one, so please keep them covered.
Strimming around the edges in a garden can disturb a sleeping hedgehog and can even harm or kill them, we see many each year with awful injuries from strimmers.
If you find a hedgehog, place the hedgehog in a large box with clean, fresh hay, crumpled newspapers or dry leaves. Also add heat with a hot water bottle, fresh clean water and some dog food.
Hedgehogs are named after their pig-like habit of rooting through the undergrowth for food. They are quite noisy and can be heard snuffling and grunting during their activities
Hedgehogs normally live up to five years in the wild but can reach 8 years in captivity. Their body length is normally 15-30 cm with a weight of up to 2kg.
The hedgehog is Britains only spiney mammal. The upper parts of the head and body are covered in short, yellow-tipped spines - adults may have up to 5000 spines. The rest of the body is covered with brown fur, and the hedgehog has a short tail.
European hedgehogs range across Europe, including Britain, from Scandinavia to Romania. They were introduced to New Zealand.
Their preferred habitat is forest, hedgerows, scrub, cultivated land and they are commonly found in gardens.
Males and females may share a nest for a short period during the breeding season. Females produce one or two litters a year of about five young. These are weaned after five weeks. The mother will just leave the nest and sometimes you will hear piping (a shrill noise) that the abandoned hoglets will make.
Hedgehogs are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act in Britain, and may not be trapped without a licence. Numbers are in decline due to habitat loss and slug pellets. Hedgehogs are often killed by manmade influences, such as in ponds, bonfires, on roads, by strimmers, lawnmowers, pesticides, garden netting and litter. They can also be food for foxes, pine martens, stoats and badgers.
In the summer, hedgehogs shelter during the day in temporary nests of leaves, moss and grass. By autumn, hedgehogs have dramatically put on weight in preparation for their hibernation.
Their hibernation nests are typically situated under hedgerows. They hibernate until the following March or April, during which time their body temperature and heart beat fall dramatically from 190 to about 20 beats per minute. Most hedgehog deaths occur during this hibernation period.
Their eyesight is poor, but their sense of smell and hearing are very good, and they can swim and climb well. Their dense covering of spines offers protection when the animal is disturbed, rolling up in a tight ball covering the head and soft underside.

How we started
Whilst out walking with my dog in the early 1980's I found a small hedgehog stuck in a fence. He was too fat to go through and his prickles wouldn't let him go back.
He had been pushing so long in an attempt to free himself that the wire had cut into his body and his leg was bleeding where he had pushed and pushed against the ground. I had in my handbag a pair of pliers (no surprise to anyone who knows me) I cut the wire and removed the hedgehog READ MORE

We are sorry but we cannot take anyone under the age of 18.
Many schools have charities for a year. Why not suggest us to your school? As a wildlife rescue we deal daily with casualties that happen through a lack of understanding. We see fear and misunderstanding of the creatures that surround us. But actually they all have very special roles and purposes. By sharing our experience with children and showing them some of the wildlife that surrounds them, we hope that in the future these would-be custodians of our planet will make good decisions and ensure our survival alongside our precious wildlife in a natural balance
We could have a stall at your school fete. One way you can help us is to organize your own fundraising events This could be at school, work or at home with family and friends. We have suggested a few ideas below to help with your fundraising on our behalf. READ MORE
As well as working on the front line we give talks and show our stunning wildlife to a variety of groups and schools - Wildlife Rocks Me Talks. We believe that a better understanding of these creatures will promote not only tolerance but a willingness to integrate them into our lives.
Children will become the custodians of our planet and we hope, through our talks, will have a better understanding of and take an interest in our wonderful wildlife as they take on that ultimate role.
We raise funds by donations, our newsletter, attending County Shows, Car boot sales, selling on eBay, Fairs, and our shop.
There are many ways you can help us
See if you can help us by clicking here - Can You Help Us . From hands on volunteering to clicking at home we need all sorts of help and all sorts of people to join our small and crazy team.

I'm using IIS 7.5's rewrite module. I'm trying to do a typical rewrite where an HTTP request to subdomain.example.com/* rewrites to example.com/subdomain/*. It partly works. I have the following:
<rule name="Rewrite staging subdomain to staging dir" enabled="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^staging\.example\.com$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="staging/{R:1}" />
This works in two cases: requests to staging.example.com/ and staging.example.com/index.html both return staging/index.html. But when I try staging.example.com/test/index.html, I get a 500 error screen and Firebug's Net tab shows "500 URL Rewrite Module Error". I'm sure this is simple. What am I missing?
Edit: There is a peer directory to /staging named /test which contained a web.config file with rewrite rules in it. I renamed that to web.config.old and the problem went away. If someone can explain to me why that caused the problem, I'd appreciate it. I don't understand how that even played a role. There's something about the order of evaluation of path versus hostname that doesn't seem intuitive.

U.S. consumers may well remember the days, pre-2012, when shopping for an airline ticket was complicated by the airlines' favored pricing scheme. Back then, an advertised $240 fare might suddenly turn out to be a $300 fare, given that taxes account for roughly 20 percent of the average domestic U.S. airfare. Passengers hated the system while the airlines – which hate price-comparison shoppers, because they drive down prices – embraced it. Fortunately, in 2012, the Department of Transportation imposed a rule requiring that the airlines advertise fares inclusive of the base fare, taxes and fees. Yet, notably, the rule didn't prohibit the airlines from publishing the taxes and fees separately; it just required that they do so less prominently than the advertised, fully inclusive fare. The airlines, incensed at this pro-consumer bit of rulemaking, have been trying to overturn it ever since. more

More than 900 drivers have been wrongly issued with fees this year because vehicle registration plates were misread on southeast Queensland toll roads.
At this rate, by Christmas more than 1300 drivers would have received an incorrect toll notice to say their vehicle had been spotted in the Clem7 tunnel, on the Go Between Bridge or on the Gateway and Logan motorways.
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk yesterday waived the fine of Cairns woman Sue Brennan who left her car at Cairns airport but was wrongly fined for "driving" over Brisbane's Go Between Bridge.

However, the technology used by all tollways was more than 99.99 per cent accurate, all operators said.
On the Go Between Bridge there had been 213 misreads since January 1, representing a 99.992 per cent accuracy rate on the 2.4 million trips over the Go Between Bridge, the council said.
On the Clem7 tunnel there have been about 275 misreads after motorists made five million trips since January 1, according to RiverCity Motorway.
Clem7 operator RiverCity Motorway said it had "five to six misreads" for every 100,000 vehicles.
RiverCity Motorway chief executive Mark Snape said the technology was 99.995 per cent accurate.
"RiverCity Motorway uses a combination of advanced optical recognition technology using cameras at tolling points," Mr Snape said.
"We use a manual image review by a member of our team to process tolls for vehicles that travel through the Clem7 where a valid tag is not detected.
"The combined error rate across both automated and manual image review is five to six per 100,000 vehicles, which represents a 99.995 per cent accuracy rate on all vehicles that use the Clem7 where a valid tag is not detected."
On the Queensland Motorways network of Gateway and Logan motorways there are 200,000 vehicles each day.
Queensland Motorways chief executive Brendan Bourke said he could not estimate an exact figure, but said the company's number plate recognition standards were similar to Clem7 and the Go Between Bridge of around 5.5 "misreads" per 100,000 vehicles.
Based on an estimate of the 40,000 vehicles each day who are "manually checked" each day by an operator there would be about 450 misreads in the first seven months of this year.
Cr Quirk yesterday waived the fine of Ms Brennan, now living in Townsville, who was wrongly issued with a toll for driving her car over Brisbane's Go Between Bridge.
Go Between Bridge toll operators manually review about 500 images an hour, after the automatic system locks in on the front and back registration plates.
Cr Quirk said "human error" happened when the number plate information was manually written down for the bill when the error occurred.
"It doesn't happen very frequently, at all," Cr Quirk said.
"There are certainly cases where it does happen and it is simply human error."
"It is a case of transferring the photographic evidence to the paper where a bill is sent out to people.
"Human error occurs. We all make mistakes from time to time."
Last night, Ms Brennan said she was shocked by the figures detailing how many number plates had been misread since January 1.
"Wow. If you have got that information after one day after the article, it makes me wonder what sort of figures you will have after a week's time, or maybe a month's time," she said.
Ms Brennan said there needed to be a new look at how the manual checking stage worked.
Last year, the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority revealed some 14,000 fines were incorrectly issued. At the time, operator mistakes were also blamed.
How they read the number plate on the Go Between Bridge
- When a vehicle crosses the tolling point, images of both the front and rear number plates are taken.
- Optical Character Recognition is then performed on those images and a "confidence level" is assigned by the system which rates the certainty that each character is correct.
- If there is a match between the front and rear licence plate numbers, and the confidence level exceeds a certain limit, then the number is locked in.
- Otherwise the image is placed into a queue for manual review by an operator who will confirm the LPN.
- Skilled operators can review up to 500 images an hour, and as with any manual process, human error can occur.

Ag land tax breaks threatened in California
—Funding for Williamson Act dollars faces veto threat. Williamson Act payments to California counties, which offset tax decreases on agricultural land, could disappear if Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger carries out his plan to axe the estimated $40 million in funding during this year's budget negotiation. His initial budget contained no money for the program, however, after an uproar, the California Legislature added funding for the program to its budget package. However, the program remains in jeopardy; the governor could still use his line-item veto power to remove the funds. The Williamson Act is a program, similar to a conservation easement, which allows California producers to guarantee that their land will remain in agricultural production for a period of 10 or more years in exchange for a tax break on property enrolled in the program. Funding of just $40 million for the Williamson program represents a small fraction of the state's enormous $103.7 billion budget. For the state's producers however, it represents a substantial savings in terms of property tax assessments. In all, according to the California Department of Conservation, 16 million of the state's 29 million acres of agricultural land in 54 counties are enrolled in the conservation program. But John Gamper, director of taxation and land use at the California Farm Bureau Federation (CFBF), said administration officials are indicating that the governor might go ahead with the cut, even if it means overriding the Legislature with a veto. Proponents of the Williamson Act argue that it is important to maintain land protected under the act for conservation and land use reasons. CFBF said funding the program encourages more responsible planning to protect "our members right to farm," according to Gamper. He said in the most recent poll of landowners who participate in the Williamson Act program, 85 percent of participating landowners are "satisfied" or "extremely satisfied" with the benefits brought to them by enrolling in the Williamson Act. It is estimated the Williamson Act can save agricultural landowners from 20 to 75 percent in property tax liability each year, or approximately $150 million statewide, according to Gamper. "A survey of landowners in Williamson Act contracts concluded that one in three would not be farming or ranching without the act's benefits," said Gamper. As an example of how the cuts would impact counties, in 2005, Amador County received roughly $110,000 in subvention funds from the Williamson Act, according to county auditor Joe Lowe, who said the county puts the money into the general fund to cover property tax losses created by Williamson Act enrollments. Currently, Amador county has 94,000 acres, a third of the total acreage in the county, covered by the Williamson Act. The total appraised value of that property, if assessed at the Proposition 13 value and not with the tax break from the Williamson Act, is $133 million. This means the county would receive $1.3 million in property tax revenue from those areas, according to the county assessor. But, while those lands remain under the Williamson Act, they are assessed at $42.5 million and the county collects about $426,000 in property taxes plus the $110,000 in reimbursement funds from the state, the assessor's office said. — John Robinson, WLJ Editor
