The 'Skunk' drone is fitted with paintball guns which can fire up to 80 pepper spray pellets every second.
14:11, UK, Wednesday 18 June 2014
A crowd-control drone fitted with paintball guns, speakers and strobe lights has been built by a South African company.
Desert Wolf says it has already received an order for 25 of the Skunk Riot Control Copters from an unnamed international mining company outside the country.
The guns can be fitted with dye markers, solid plastic pellets and small capsules of pepper spray.
The drone has a payload capacity of around 40kg; it can carry up to 4,000 projectiles and fires up to 80 shots each second.
The eight-rotor aircraft also has high-definition and thermal imaging cameras.
It needs two people to control it; one to manoeuvre the aircraft, and one to control the array of tools and weapons on board.
Complete with a ground control station, it will cost around 500,000 South African Rand (£27,400).
A spokesman for Desert Wolf said more orders were in the pipeline from customers around the world.
These include security companies, police units and businesses.

6 Tips To Protect Your Pet's Oral Health
Animals without proper oral care often begin to show signs of mouth disease later on in their life. Oral disease can lead to serious problems. Keep reading to learn how to properly care for your pet's mouth.
1. Feed A Meat Based Diet
The right meat based diet for your dog or cat can help keep the inside of the mouth healthy and plaque free. You can also purchase other dental friendly foods like Purina DH Dental Health Canine Formula for dogs or Purina Veterinary Diet Feline Dental Health for cats. There are oral treats for dogs like Get Naked Gut Dental Chew Sticks that can also help.
2. Give Them Something To Chew On
Chew toys and the like can do a lot to keep a dog's teeth clean. Gnawing on the right chew toy will scrape away any soft tartar and massage your dog's gums. Raw bones, toxin-free raw hide, or rubber chew toys should do the trick.
3. Keep Their Teeth Brushed
One of the most important parts of keeping a pets teeth clean is keeping its teeth brushed. To do this, get a teeth cleaning kit like Petrodex Dog Dental Care Kit for dogs or Petrodex Dental Care Kit For Cats. Start when your pet is young to get him used to getting his teeth brushed. Begin by massaging the gums to get your pet used to the feeling. Once your pet seems accustomed to this, introduce some pet safe toothpaste. First, put some on his lips so he gets used to the taste. Afterwards, you can introduce the toothbrush and brush his teeth gently with the toothpaste.
4. Bad Breath
It's a good idea to monitor your pets breath. While no animal's breath is going to smell wonderful, extremely bad breath may be a sign of oral or other health problems, and it may be a good idea to get your pet examined by a vet.
5. Weekly Examinations
Check for signs of bad oral health at least once a week to prevent any further health problems. Do this by making your pet face you. Lift up his lips carefully and examine his teeth and gums. The teeth should be clean without any brownish tartar, and the gums should be a healthy pink. If gums are red or white, or show signs of swelling, there could be a problem.
6. Know The Signs
When you check your pet's mouth, it's important to know what to look out for. Any of the following might be signs of a problem.
- Excessive drooling.
- Foul breath.
- Gum inflammation.
- White or red gums.
- Cysts underneath the tongue
- Gum tumors or tumors in the mouth.
- Loose teeth.
- Excessive plaque.
- Pus.

Eating crunchy foods is another great way for people and pets to keep their teeth strong and healthy. I myself eat a lot of apples and raw carrots, and I give my dogs Healthy Bones biscuits treats, which are not only very crunchy but have things like apples and carrots in them.

That's exactly what I did with my little dog and maintains his health through visiting his vet at least twice a month. I am quite busy processing for my ekg technician class and my brother takes care of my pet for the mean time.

A cultural heritage canvas from the early 19th century, painted by the Vaccaro brothers for the church of Niscemi, province of Caltanissetta, Sicily, was analyzed using Fourier transform (FT)-Raman, attenuated total reflectance-FT-infrared and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. The painting, still used in religious rites related to the Easter mass ('la calata da tila'), depicts the scene of the Crucifixion and is executed in a scarce palette, with white, green and blue colors. Analysing vibrational data in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy and solid -state 13C-NMR signals of the linen threads, we were able to offer valuable insight into the painting technique, unknown prior to this study. SERS is usually employed in artwork diagnosis for the identification of organic lakes and dyes. Due to its sensitivity, SERS has been successfully applied for the detection of either organic painting materials (indigo) that are usually not resolved by conventional Raman spectroscopy or of inorganic pigments difficult to observe in the presence of highly fluorescent aged organic supports or binders. To the best of our knowledge, this is also the first report on the SERS investigation of flax used in linen from cultural heritage objects using Ag colloidal nanoparticles.

Well, are we there yet? I'm not just cracking wise about this standstill energy that's been the energy de jour
for the past week or so....it's a serious question. Consider this, perhaps we ARE there and just haven't realized
it yet? I mean I've been noticing that we are back in 'holding pattern' again, and so many other folks have said
the same thing I'm wondering if maybe the answer is yes, we are here, but our 3/4D brains haven't twigged to it yet.
Maybe that's why everything seems to have come to such a screeching halt around here the past week or two. It seems
there's nothing new coming out from anywhere. There are still folks out there doing their forums, and radio shows
and blogs and stuff but, it seems everyone has just come so far on their path and then just stopped there. Waiting.
Like we are waiting. For something, but who knows what? The speakers seem to be sorta stuck in their own personal
modality, whatever that might be. The pyramid guys are still talking about pyramids, the UFO folks are still talking
about disclosure, and the conspiracy theory folks are rambling on about the elite cabal and how controlled things are.
I spose the love and light brigade and the channel folks are still doing their thing as well. But doesn't seem like
there is any 'big breaking news' coming from any of those fronts.
Sometimes these diverse groups of folks, pushing energy into their preferred modality, theory, whatever you wanna
call it, seem divided into the various 'camps'. Like each group has worked their bums off getting to this point
and now it's just a matter of 'seeing who is right'...or something along those lines. Like we've come up with the
'main story lines' of human life on Earth, and now we are waiting to see which 'group' got it right. I've talked
before about a choice time. Feels to me like this just might be it. I also find it very interesting that right
in the middle of our 'stopped zone' Mother Earth...well maybe Mother Earth, some folks are talking HAARP...and
the Americans, have created major distractions from what's going on in the non-material world. Folks have been
very strongly putting their energies and focus on the Sandy weather event, and the election. Talk about distraction
tactics...those are a coupla MAJOR distractions.
I can almost picture the military, industrial complex, including big pharma, and the banksters, rubbing their hands
together in glee. OH, good, they kept the old president...now we don't have to 'break in' a new one. Now we can
get back to our important business. I don't even wanna THINK about what their important business might be, but I
have the feeling they are looking forward to more of the same ole same ole. More control, more power, more draconian
laws...just more. Almost as if someone was using tactics...hey, look over there...we don't want you to notice that
you ARE HERE. OK guys, next push, commercialize Christmas. Get those sales going, get those products on the shelf,
retail sales is our 'next big thing'. Get out there and sell, sell, sell. Keep 'em distracted, keep them shopping
and charging stuff they can't afford...just keep them busy and occupied. Hmmm...why is it so important that we ARE
distracted. Distracted from what? What it is they DO NOT WANT US to see or understand?
Underground bunkers and FEEMA camps, and government agencies buying up arms...the USA branch of the elite cabal
aren't even trying to be subtle anymore. They are just doing their thing right there in the open and don't give
a hoot what the populace thinks or wants. It's like they know something we don't. Like they see something ahead
that we can't see. I'd imagine Australia is right there in their hip pocket too. Australia just got itself
appointed to the UN Security Council. Kinda like an oxymoron huh...UN and security? Whatever the powers that
wish they still were are doing, OZ appears to be right in the thick of things. Course we've got Pine Gap, and
that's probably important to the 'overall plan'. Still playing slight of hand though, Australia is, still trying
to make things look like they are for the 'good of the people'. Dread to think what's going on behind the scenes.
We have pretty tame media here in Australia...they follow orders. Not so much 'behind the scenes stuff' gets
revealed over here.
What if all these distraction tactics have actually worked? What if the whole idea of 21 December 2012 IS A
tactic? What if the powers that wish they still were are deliberately keeping us from seeing something that's
happening RIGHT NOW so they keep their game going as long as possible? Maybe all the distractions and the whole
dumbing down issue were so successful that we ARE HERE, but just haven't had the time to pay attention because
we are so busy on our hamster wheels?
Now I dunno for sure that's the case, but think about it for a minute. This is Mother Earth's journey, the
solar system, the galaxy and the entire Universe, are part of what's happening. Those guys don't actually care
a whole lot about distraction and illusion, they are gonna do whatever they are gonna do no matter what humanity
does. Maybe that's exactly what's going on right now. Why we seem so STOPPED in our tracks lately. Maybe it's
all about looking behind the distractions...or behind our 'participation' in the 3/4D game...and see that, OK,
yeah, we are here. We made it. We did this. Like Mother Earth, Universe, all the guys who actually see what's
going on, and the why and the how, have just moved into their new state of beingness...on a higher D, or in some
new energy frequency, or who knows what. Maybe it's actually done and dusted and we simply haven't cottoned on
to that yet.
Whole lotta folks seem to think the appropriate 'ending' to this game is to get off the Wheel of Life, outta
3/4D density and just go HOME. That's not me. THIS IS my home. Planet Earth. No saviours, from off planet
or anywhere else have a place in my own personal story. MY story is about me and Earth, making this journey
together...wherever that may lead. Maybe how it really works is that each of creates the world around themselves
that we WANT to see. Then we suddenly wake up and realize that THIS IS IT. It's already here. We just
need to accept and understand and probably most important, BELIEVE THAT. How many times along the path to
here have we suddenly realized things that had been staring us right in the face for ages, and we simply
couldn't see? Now that we CAN see so much more...well, maybe that's our next focus.
Not looking for second hand info. Not searching for data and info. Start looking a bit more deeply into where
we are right now, this moment. If the moment you are looking at isn't what you want it to be...change your mind.
That's probably all we ever actually needed to do. Change our minds. Shitcan all that programming and
distraction and dumbing down and just look around at THIS NOW. Making each now moment full of all the things
we WANT to create, rather than trying to adjust ourselves to all the little boxes 'they' are trying to funnel
us into. We are NOT slaves to any sorta system. We are divine beings. We are free, and whole and complete and
OH SOOO capable.
Perhaps that's all that's left to do. Be here now. Moment by moment. Creating each now moment as WE WANT IT.
Just ignore all the games and BS that others are playing around with and check out our INSIDE SELF. It's that
inside self, the bigger self, the authentic self, that's been here all this time. It's the inside self that
came here to play this game. Only stands to reason that all that's left to do now is for the inside self to
let the outside/physical/game playing self in on the big secret.

Someone once said that patience is a virtue.
At this point, there's probably no greater believer in that creed than Diamondbacks' left-hander Patrick Corbin.
Resigned to a grueling and emotionally-taxing year of rehabilitation, Corbin is coming off reconstructive surgery on his left elbow. Better known as Tommy John surgery, named after the first pitcher to undergo a procedure of removing a ligament from another part of the body and replacing a torn ligament in the elbow, Corbin is out until at least next April, May or perhaps later.
One of five pitchers on the Arizona staff recovering from Tommy John surgery, Corbin was expected to be a cornerstone of the Diamondbacks' rotation, and provide stability to what was considered a marginal group of starters. Instead, he is confined for now to the trainers' room and cheering for his teammates from the dugout.
"Patience is the key," he said Friday afternoon in the clubhouse prior to the Diamondbacks' game with the Pirates. "We're not rushing anything and taking every precaution."
Coming into spring training, Corbin was considered the "ace" of a pitching staff in search of stability. Earning a spot on the National League all-star team last year at Citi Field in New York, Corbin picked up 11 wins before the break and went on to compile a 14-8 record and 3.41 ERA. He led the staff with three complete games among 32 starts and hit the durability standard of pitching more than 200 innings. His final season count reached 208 innings.
A few starts into his spring training routine this past March, Corbin reported he began to feel a residual pain in his left elbow. Thinking he could fight through the discomfort, the pain increased to a severe degree that in a pre-season contest against the Indians at Goodyear on March 15, Corbin knew something was drastically wrong.
"Sometime during the spring, I knew my arm was not right," Corbin said. "I tried to pitch through but during that Indians game I couldn't go any further. I called to the trainer and then that followed with an MRI."
Once damage in his elbow was confirmed, Corbin said he wanted to best doctor to proceed. That meant Dr. James Andrews and in early April, Corbin underwent the procedure.
While Corbin reports he has regained the full range of motion and minor discomfort is limited to sporadic mornings, his rehab program is progressing on schedule and without complications.
"There's no reason to rush (Corbin)," said manager Kirk Gibson. "When you have a surgery of this kind, there's usually a one year rehab period. Next April or May, at this point, is a possible target date for him."
For now, Corbin is looking at September 7 as a principal and significant date. That would be six months from his surgery and, at that time, he has "the green light" to begin throwing. Not sure if that means lobs or tosses, he indicated, but his throwing schedule is constructed by the training staff.
The program has Corbin throwing for two months and shut down for two months. Then, he would pick throwing again in January.
If Corbin is slowly recovering, Daniel Hudson, with two Tommy John surgeries to his right elbow within the past two years, appears ready to pitch to competition.
Hudson, who last pitched at the major league level on June 26, 2012 against Milwaukee, is slated to start this Tuesday night for the Diamondbacks' rookie team in the Arizona League. Hudson will pitch one inning and then the training staff will make an evaluation.
If everything goes well and Hudson continues to progress, Gibson told reporters Friday afternoon that Hudson could appear in four to six games for the Diamondbacks this September.
On Friday, Paul Goldschmidt was given a rare day off in a scheduled game against Pittsburgh.
Timing was curious because Goldschmidt is hitting .462 in his last six games against the Pirates and .328 (21-for-64) lifetime against Pittsburgh.
"It's only fair to give him a break, mentally and physically," said manager Kirk Gibson before Friday's game with the Pirates. "He pushes himself pretty hard and you can go only so far."
Gibson said he approached Goldschmidt and said he would to give his All-Star first baseman a periodic rest. Ask what day would be referable, Goldschmidt told his skipper he would defer. So, Gibson made the decision to rest Goldschmidt for Friday night's game with Pittsburgh.
Jordan Pacheco replaced Goldschmidt against Pirates' starter Edinson Volquez at first base.

EPM 18.104.22.168 - Enhance support for LDAP/MSAD connection timeouts
By Ahmed Awan-Oracle on May 16, 2012
Applies to EPM 126.96.36.199 release.
Connection timeout (after inactivity in the system) by Firewall or Load Balancer in front of the LDAP/MSAD servers is handled better by recreating the master context every 15 minutes (as needed basis).
Can be tuned from the css.xml file by setting the parameter <masterContextTimeToLive>. Oracle recommends to set this value to slightly lower than the timeout on the Firewall or Load Balancer in front of the LDAP/MSAD servers.

Licensing a music icon's logo to a department store is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing for actual Beatles fans who can buy an Abbey Road t-shirt at Walmart for five dollars. It's a curse when the Fab Four are ubiquitous and unappreciated.
Graphic tees, for adults and kids, have exploded in popularity in the past few years. Designs vary from retro to colorful to understated. There really is a style for everyone.
For the teenager who lives in graphic tees, visit Walmart or Target. Both stores stock a wide variety of affordable tees for guys and girls. For something unique and a little more expensive, shop at Hot Topic in the Charleston Town Center.
Generic graphic tees are perfect for young children. Kids' tastes are often simplified to: "I like robots" or "I like horses." The Children's Place in the Charleston Town Center is currently running a $5 graphic tee sale.
Walmart's adult and junior graphics are also $5 and under. For toddlers, teens and adults, graphic tees are a fun, affordable way to show the world your unique taste.

Light Footprint Management
What can managers in today's uncertain, unimaginably complex world learn from President Obama's military doctrine and the Chinese management style? In his new book (Bloomsbury, 2013), Charles-Edouard Bouée, member of the Global Executive Committee and President of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, Asia proposes the adoption of "light footprint" management – comparable to President Barack Obama's military doctrine and similar to the recent emergence of vision and tactics over strategy in Chinese management.
Bouée argues that this shift in approach blazes a trail that Western companies will be obliged to follow, and explains how conventional management methodologies, techniques and tools can be adapted to the conditions of an increasingly ambiguous and apparently unmanageable world. Light Footprint Management sets out a roadmap for the transformation of companies into adaptable, "post-strategic" business organizations.
Light Footprint Management at Saïd Business School
Charles-Edouard Bouée spoke about Light Footprint Management to a full house of business students, academics and consultants at Saïd Business School (SBS) at the University of Oxford on March 10, 2014. The event, entitled "In Conversation with Charles-Edouard Bouée", was an opportunity to elaborate on the Light Footprint Management idea.
Book launch at Harvard
Frédéric Sanchez, Chairman of the Executive Board at Fives Group, a large industrial engineering group, talks about the key points that he retained from reading the book on Light Footprint Management. Watch the video.
On September 18, 2013, Charles-Edouard Bouée presented his new book Light Footprint Management: Leadership in times of change at the Harvard Business School. In a forum entitled "How to lead in a VUCA world: Lessons from the US military and China", Bouée stressed that a light footprint strategy could be a means to address the challenges of uncertainty, by using what we know about recent changes in military doctrine and a novel management approach emerging in China. Bouée was joined in the forum by former US Ambassador to Germany Philip D. Murphy and Harvard Business Review editor-at-large Julia Kirby.
Watch this video of the plenary session "How Should Leaders Embrace Complexity?" at the Global Drucker Forum in Vienna, in which Bouée was a speaker.
Listen to Charles-Edouard Bouée explain the big idea behind his new book Light Footprint Management in the audiocast for think:act MAGAZINE #19.
Listen to his interview with China Radio International where he talks about strategic leadership in a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) world.
Follow @Light_Footprint on Twitter for updates about the book and related events as well as insights on "post-strategic" management.
"Charles-Edouard Bouée's argument that lightness is a primary value in a more volatile and uncertain business world is pervasive and well made."
– John Quelch, Harvard Business School, USA
"The picture Charles-Edouard Bouée paints of tomorrow's business world, and of the kinds of organization most likely to thrive in it, is both original and plausible."
– Sir Tom Hunter, CEO, West Coast Capital, United Kingdom
"Management is the next big thing for Chinese companies and entrepreneurs. Charles-Edouard Bouée's argument that the Chinese management style must find links to military strategy in the VUCA world and his conception of the "light footprint" are fascinating. Entrepreneurs, both those in China now and others who intend to dive into Chinese business, will find his ideas
– Gang He, Editor in Chief of Harvard Business Review China and Managing Editor of Caijing Magazine, China
"From Chinese history, cyberwarfare and the use of drones and special forces, all the way to the lessons of Apple's resurgence, Bouée takes the reader on a fascinating whirlwind tour of turning points in business and geopolitics. From his extensive international experience and unique ability to draw parallels and establish connections, Bouée derives an innovative management philosophy adapted to a new world order of volatility and uncertainty."
– Bernard Liautaud, Founder of Business Objects and Partner at Balderton Capital, United Kingdom

As the best man to the groom whom you have known for many of your years, you will understand that it is your job to tell of how you met the groom, about how beautiful his new wife-to-be is and most of all, to make the audience fall off their seats from laughing so hard. With some of these killer lines, you will be remembered not only on tape but also in people's memories for years to come.
Your duty is to make the audience fall of their seats from laughing!
Start As You Mean To Go On
If you are able to successfully pull a sucker-punch of an opening line then you will be set for the entirety of your speech. Best man speech opening lines are absolutely key to putting a smile on the faces of your audience and to get everyone in the mood to celebrate the newlyweds' special day. You need to prepare for this however and ensure that you have the confidence to pull it off. A fully line could be ruined if you fumble over your words or speak to quietly, that you have to repeat them.
Don't fumble over your words and don't speak to quietly!
Don't Let Them Breathe!
Once you have started, you are in for the long haul and cannot mellow. You can let the audience think you are mellowing and then deliver a fantastic new line to get them going again. As the best man, speech opening lines are what you need to master. If the audience fall to their knees laughing from your first line, quickly deliver the next before they even have the chance to regain their breathe.
This feeling of not being able to control your laughing is almost euphoric.
Not only does it give the audience such a fantastic feeling of have an amazing time, but it also leaves them as putty in your hands.
Blatant Cheek
Best man speech opening lines are what the audience will remember, even after recovering the following morning from their drunken stupor, so make sure that it is a good one. You are also in the extremely fortunate position in that as best man, you can be as cheeky or rude as you wish, within reason of course.
Only you will know your best friend in the way that you do, so feel free to take it right to the borderline. Some common best man speech opening lines are revolve around embarrassing the groom but do try to be as lighthearted as possible, it is likely that his entire family will be there, including his dear old grandmother.
Between each thoughtful line, take a second to breathe and contain yourself and to let the audience let out their laughs. Then just as they have relaxed their vocal muscles, slip in another comical line regarding the groom and his previous escapades. If you ever feel the need for a break yourself, take a moment to have a small drink from your laugh before you continue to bring the house down.

Duchene's knee was injured when he caught his skate in a rut during Thursday's game against Phoenix. Further tests will be done once the swelling subsides on the knee, so there is a possibility that he could be out longer.

At the TNT/TBS Upfront presentation for the 2014-15 television season, model-turned-actress Rebecca Romijn promoted The Librarians. This is a ten-episode show set in the world of The Librarian trilogy of telefilms starring Noah Wyle (E.R.), Bob Newhart (The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart), Jane Curtin (Saturday Night Live, Kate & Allie, 3rd Rock from the Sun), and Olympia Dukakis (Moonstruck).
David N. Titcher wrote the telefilms, which Dean Devlin produced for TNT. Devlin wrote the screenplay for Universal Soldier (1992).
With Roland Emmerich, he wrote and produced Stargate (1994), Independence Day (1996), Godzilla (1998), and The Patriot (2000). He met his beautiful wife, Lisa Brenner, on the set of The Patriot.
The underlying premise of The Librarian films is that the Library of Alexandria still exists as an organization and its collections are kept in a secret section of a fictional version of the New York Public Library called the Metropolitan Public Library, and not only is it a repository of ancient books, but also sacred and magical objects, including The Ark of the Covenant, Pandora's Box, and Excalibur, as well as prototypes for cutting-edge technologies, such as a working jetpack and Tesla's Death Ray. The emphasis in the telefilms was on the supernatural.
In The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004) Noah Wyle plays Flynn Carsen, a perpetual student with twenty-two degrees. His despairing mother, Margie Carsen (Olympia Dukakis) tries to set him up on a date with Debra, played by (Lisa Brenner), but things do not go well.
After a strange interview at the Metropolitan Public Library with Charlene (Jane Curtin), a bureaucrat, and Judson (Bob Newhart), the head librarian, Flynn is offered the job of being the Librarian. They are more interested in his esoteric knowledge than in his having memorized the Dewey Decimal System.
In that first telefilm, they introduce Flynn to the secret collections and reveal the Serpent Brotherhood murdered his predecessor, Edward Wilde (Kyle MacLachlan), and stole part of the Spear of Destiny.[1] If they can steal the other two parts hidden at other secure places in the world, their leader will be able to conquer the Earth.
As the Librarian, Flynn Carsen must retrieve the piece stolen from the Library and secure the other two pieces. His only guide clue to the other two pieces of the Spear of Destiny is a book in an untranslated ancient language, called the Language of Birds, which he is able to translate in a matter of hours.
Sonya Walger, who would go on to play the recurring character of Penelope "Penny" Widmore on Lost (2004-2010) and Olivia Benford in Flashforward (2009-2010), played Nicole Noone, the Librarian's bodyguard. Nicole is Wilde's grieving lover, and Flynn's love interest, though she resists becoming friendly with him and initially seems way out of his league. She rescues Flynn when the Serpent Brotherhood attacks him on an airplane.
Flynn proves his book-learning has practical benefits when he finds the two other pieces of the Spear of Destiny in a Mayan temple and Shangri-La and Nicole, but the Serpent Brotherhood kidnaps Nicole. Flynn strikes a bargain for her life with their leader. The archvillain's comely assistant Lana (Kelly Hu) comically longs for Flynn.
Flynn prevails with the help of Nicole and, improbably, Judson, in what must be Bob Newhart's first fight scene. The film ends with a scene at a café where Margie displays skepticism about Nicole's existence until Nicole arrives on a motorcycle to retrieve Flynn to fight the Death Scorpion Cult, which has stolen the Time Machine of H.G. Wells, an actual time machine, not the book The Time Machine.
In the sequels, Flynn faces new enemies and develops new love interests. In The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines (2006) Flynn learns from Judson that the wealth in King Solomon's Mines mean nothing compared to the power of a sacred text hidden within that will allow the reader to control space and time.[2]
Robert Foxworth (Falcon Crest, Six Feet Under) played "Uncle" Jerry, a rich friend of Flynn's mother and late father, who recounts the story of how Flynn's father courted his mother at Flynn's birthday party. Gabrielle Anwar (Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken, Scent of a Woman, The Three Musketeers) plays Emily Davenport, an archeologist with even more degrees than Flynn whom he meets in Morocco and accompanies him to Kenya. She becomes his new love interest, but parts ways with him in the end to pursue her search for evidence of the Queen of Sheba.
The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice (2008) opens with Flynn purchasing a Ming vase at a London auction house and breaking it to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone, hidden within. He gets into a swordfight with a villain who failed to outbid him at the auction.
Vacationing in New Orleans, Flynn meets lounge singer Simone Renoir, played by Stana Katic (Quantum of Solace, The Spirit) who went on to co-star in Castle. She is a vampiress who lured him to New Orleans through his dreams.
Determined to kill the vampire who ended her life, she helped monks hide the Judas Chalice, which Judson explains is the vampire mockery of the Holy Grail made from the thirty pieces of silver Judas was paid for betraying Christ.[3] Simone shows Flynn a painting from the Crusades that shows the Librarian of that era, Yahuda, whom Flynn thinks looks suspiciously like Judson.
Together, Flynn and Simone must battle former K.G.B. agents who, nostalgic for the Soviet Union, want to use the Judas Chalice to resurrect Dracula and build an army of undead legions. The Russians kidnapped Professor Lazlo, played by Bruce Davison (X-Men), a historian and expert on vampires.
The new television series will follow four new employees of the Library who live on site. Rebecca Romijn, best known as a Sports Illustrated and Victoria's Secret model and for playing Mystique in the X-Men films, will play counter-terrorism expert Eve Baird. This role tracks with her career as an actress thus far and seems akin to the Nicole Noone character from the first telefilm.
Christian Kane (Angel, Leverage) will play Jake Stone, an oil worker from Oklahoma with genius-level intellect and an encyclopedic knowledge of art history. The other two team members will be played by Lindy Booth (The Philanthropist) and John Kim (The Pacific).
John Larroquette (Night Court, The John Larroquette Show) will play their caretaker, Jenkins. Matt Frewer (Max Headroom, Doctor Doctor, The Stand, Falling Skies) will play an immortal leader of the Serpent Brotherhood named Dulaque.
Michael Ausiello reports, "Wyle, who's currently starring in TNT's Falling Skies (which returns with its fourth season this June), will recur in the series and serve as an exec producer. Joining Wyle are franchise vets Bob Newhart and Jane Curtin, who will reprise their respective roles as Judson and Charlene."
Television network executives host the events, which are attended by advertisers and the press. They announce their fall schedules and show clips of new shows that will be part of the fall lineup or mid-season replacements (for cancelled shows or reality/game shows that have short seasons).
Typically, the executives show clips of the new shows and introduce the stars of the new shows. These upfront presentations give television critics insight into which shows they might want to encourage the public to see (or discourage the public from seeing).
However, the events are chiefly for the benefit of advertisers. They can decide which new shows they want to sponsor before the pilots air.
[1] This is a reference to a historic artifact, the spear the centurion Longinus used to pierce the side of Christ when He was crucified. In real life, St. Peter's Basilica; the Imperial Treasury of the Hofburg Palace (the former winter residence of the Habsburgs and the current residence of the presidents of Austria) in Vienna; and a museum at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the seat of the Catholicos of All Armenians (the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church), all claim to have the Spear of Longinus. Trevor Ravenscroft claimed in his book The Spear of Destiny that Adolf Hitler stole it from Vienna to gain supernatural power. This story is repeated in the films Hellboy (2004) and Constantine (2005).
[2] Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) wrote a best-selling novel called King Solomon's Mines, published in 1885 and set in Africa, at a time when archeologists were making amazing finds in Egypt and the Near East. This was the first Allen Quartermain novel. Indiana Jones very much comes in the tradition of Quartermain and Flynn Carsen comes in the tradition of Indiana Jones. The character's first name, Flynn, is also suggestive of Errol Flynn (1909-1959), the Australian movie star who played the dashing leading man in many American action-adventure films, including Captain Blood (1935), The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938).
[3] As in the previous films, the hero's quest is to recover an object alluding to the Bible, but this was the first time the object in question was wholly fictional. This is not the first work of popular fiction to tie vampires to Judas Iscariot, and nor is Dracula 2000 (2000).

New Jersey Health Statistics
Definitions | Rates | Cause of Death Rankings | Race/Ethnicity | Data Sources | Data Quality | Residence/Occurrence
While the denominators for rates consist of the population at risk of the events included in the numerator (e.g., births, deaths), ratios are designed to indicate the relationship between two counts in which the denominator population is not at risk of the events included in the numerator. An example of a ratio contained in this report is the maternal mortality ratio in which the number of deaths due to maternal causes forms the numerator and the number of live births provides the denominator.
In order to compare birth and death experiences among various ages and races or between the sexes, rates may be computed for subgroups of the population. These are referred to as age-, race-, or sex-specific rates and are calculated by dividing the relevant events within a subgroup by the population in the subgroup. Death rates from specific causes may also be calculated, with the numerator consisting of the deaths from the particular cause in an area and the denominator comprised of the population at risk of the disease or condition.
The numbers of births and deaths in an area are directly related to the demographic characteristics of the area's population. In comparing rates over time or among geographic areas, it is helpful to eliminate the effects of the differences in the populations' demographic characteristics on the comparison. This can be accomplished through adjustments of the rates for the particular characteristics of interest. The most common type of adjustment of rates is for age. Direct adjustment of vital statistics rates involves application of existing rates (age-, race-, or sex-specific) to a standard population to arrive at the theoretical number of events that would occur in the standard population, at the rates prevailing in the actual population. These events are then divided by the total number of persons in the standard population to arrive at an adjusted rate. Adjusted rates are index numbers and cannot be compared to crude or other actual rates. The use of adjusted rates is limited to comparison with other adjusted rates, based on the same standard population. The standard population used in this report is the United States 2000 standard million, derived from the projection of counts from the 2000 decennial census. Reports in this series prior to 1999 used the US 1940 standard million for age-adjustment.
The definition of rates and ratios used in this report follows. It should be noted that alternative forms exist for some of these statistics. Some other states and the federal government may employ different formulae for the computation of selected rates.
Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of rates and ratios based on small numbers. Chance variations in the number of vital events occurring in sparsely populated areas can cause rates to fluctuate widely over time. In accordance with National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) standards, percentages or rates based on fewer than 20 cases are considered unreliable for analysis purposes. Therefore, these percentages and rates are not displayed and are indicated by ** in the appropriate cell. For purposes of analyzing vital statistics rates for small areas, calculation of three- or five-year average rates and other statistical methodologies for analyzing small numbers may provide more meaningful measures.

The hip is defined as the region on each side of the pelvis. The hip bone is made up of three sections, including the following:
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows motion and provides stability needed to bear body weight.
The socket area, which is inside the pelvis, is called the acetabulum. The ball part of this joint is the top of the leg bone. It joins with the acetabulum to form the hip joint.
The hip is one of the most stable joints in the body. But, its function, bearing the body's weight, makes it susceptible to arthritis due to excessive pressure. Pain in the hip may involve injury to muscles, tendons, or bursae (small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and lubricate joints).

When, 30 years ago, my boss and mentor Jaroslav Fric told me that artistic understanding of the world is as accurate and valid as the scientific one, I was skeptical and considered that as a hyperbole. Now, 30 years later, I agree.
Even though I did my homework and prepared for what I was about to see in Antarctica, I was still overwhelmed by the sheer presence and majestic beauty of the landscape, wilderness, and wildlife.
One must experience first-hand the scale of dimensions, the hues, and the unusual smell of the breeze and sea water to fully grasp what Antarctica is.

Nevada Population 2016
The landlocked state of Nevada is situated towards the western edge of the United States. It covers a vast area of some 110,000 square miles which makes it the seventh largest state in the country in terms of sheer land mass.
However, this vast territory is very sparsely filled with Nevada's citizens and in fact, there are only eight states in the country that are less densely populated. The current population for Nevada in 2013 is estimated at 2,788,593, which is a good increase from its 2.70 million population at the 2010 Census. Nevada currently has one of the strongest growth rates in the country of 1.08%, which ranks 16th in the nation.
Nevada Population 2014
To gauge the Nevada population in 2013, you have to go back to the last set of confirmed figures which were declared at the US Census in 2010. At that time, it was revealed that 2,700,551 people had made Nevada their home, representing a sizeable increase of over 35% from the numbers declared at the end of the 2000 survey.
Based on those figures, the Census Bureau provides a new population estimate each year. In 2012, it estimated that the population of Nevada had increased to 2,758,931. The population in 2013 is now estimated at 2,788,593.
A relatively small percentage of Nevada's population lives in rural areas, such as Ely, West Wendover and Tonopah. The culture of rural Nevada is vastly different than the metropolitan areas, as most people in rural counties are native to the state, whereas Reno and Las Vegas are dominated by populations from other states, especially California. Rural populations are also less diverse, both racially and ethnically.
The largest metropolitan areas, and where the majority of the population is concentrated, includes Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas in Clark County and Reno in Washoe County.

Most states in the US tend to follow a similar pattern when it comes to their population history. Explosions in numbers tend to occur throughout the 19th century and, while the increases begin to slow down in the 1900's, the overall pattern is one of healthy growth through the 20th century as well.
In Nevada however, that isn't the case and throughout the state's history, numbers have fluctuated greatly with impressive rises followed by clear falls on a census by census basis. In 1860, the population of Nevada was recorded at just 6,857 but an explosion of over 500% over the next ten years took those numbers to 42,941 by 1870. Much of the boom was as a result of a mining boom – while other states had their Gold Rush, Nevada had its very own Silver Rush.
After the boom, though, came a devastating depression, and Nevada's population dropped dramatically. In the ten years from 1880 to 1890, the population fell from over 60,000 to 47,355. A further fall of 10% between 1890 and 1900 reduced the population to just 42,335.
Another boom was just round the corner though, and the discovery in 1900 of a rich seam of gold and silver near Tonopah saw fortune seekers flock once again to the Silver State – so many, in fact, that it's population almost doubled within a decade.
It wasn't until the latter half of the 20th century that changes settled down to record fairly stable increases. Even during this period, though, growth has been pretty spectacular by national standards. In every decade between 1950 and 2000 the population of Nevada grew by more than 50%. In fact, it's growth of just 35% between 2000 and 2010 might be considered a bit disappointing.
Nevada was also hit especially hard by the housing collapse and economic recession, forcing many residents to flee back to their state of origin, in most cases California. Nevada is recovering nicely from this, however, and it has a very healthy growth rate.
Nevada Demographics
According to the 2010 Census, the racial distribution of Nevada was as follows:
- 66.2% White (54.1% non-Hispanic)
- 8.1% African American
- 1.2% American Indian and Alaska Native
- 7.2% Asian American
- 0.6% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander
- 4.7% Multiracial
- 12.% some other race
Hispanics and Latinos of any race make up 26.5% of Nevada's population. The most common ancestries include: Mexican (20.8%), German (13.3%), Irish (10%), English (9.2%) and Italian (6.3%). Las Vegas in particular is a minority majority city with a fast-growing amount of ethnic communities, including Armenians, Spaniards, Greeks, Poles and Italians.
Asian Americans have had a significant population in Nevada since the California Gold Rush in the 1850's brought thousands of Chinese miners to Washoe County, who were followed by Japanese farm works, then immigrants from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, India and Vietnam. Las Vegas now has the U.S.'s most prolific Asian American communities. The city has remained a large destination for immigrants from Latin America and South Asia seeking jobs in hospitality and gaming industries, along with farming and construction.
Nevada also has the highest population of illegal immigrants of any state in the United States, accounting for an estimated 8.8% of the total population.
Nevada Population Growth
Figures released in relation to natural growth tell the story of Nevada's recent growing population and the main contributory factor comes with net migration. Between 2000 and 2007 natural growth (births minus deaths) had resulted in a gain of 81,661 citizens. However, net migration added to those numbers by an incredible 337,043.
Nevada clearly has the space for such gains, and it's almost certain that the trend will continue. The question isn't whether Nevada's population will increase in the next ten years; the question is by how much.
Henderson and North Las Vegas are currently among the 20 fastest-growing cities in the United States over 100,000. Interestingly, as Nevada continues to grow, its population becomes more diverse. The non-Hispanic white population has shrunk in every county in the state between 2010 and 2012 except for three counties, with Hispanic and Asian populations continuing to grow faster than any other.
According to Census bureau figures, the growth in the state is driven mostly by people moving here from other countries and other states, and because the two biggest counties have lower mortality rates than the national average, despite typical fertility rates among residents.
Nevada's population is expected to continue its healthy climb and reach 3.36 million residents by 2030.

Community comes together for affaire
Stewart and Trudy Moon are congratulated by Executive Director
Pierrette Kelly (center) after receiveing their Lifetime Achevement awards.
It was a starfish-studded event at the Island Community Center Saturday as people joined to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the annual dinner auction, An Affaire Under the Starfish Sky.
According to preliminary figures, the event brought in $125,000 for the Center's adult and children's programs.
"It was a wonderful evening," Executive Director Pierrette Kelly said. "Our community is so generous. Even during these difficult times people went above and beyond what we expected.
"It's like the old days when everybody came together. There was so much collaboration. That's what makes our community such a special place."
One of the event's highlights was the presentation of Lifetime Achievement awards to Stewart and Trudy Moon. Stewart's for his tireless work in getting the new Community Center built and Trudy's for raising $3.4 million as the auction's chair for 13 years.
"It's a great Community Center and it was well worth the effort," Stewart said.
"This was Stewart's dream," Trudy added. "He never stopped working for it."
Trudy, who was completely surprised by the award, handed over the chairmanship of the Affaire to Chris Romine this year.
"The weirdest thing was walking in here as a spectator and not having to worry about every detail," she said. "But I was checking out everything and asking Pierrette if things were done. Everybody did such great job and my year of rest was very invigorating."
Community Center board member Peggy Douglas was the lucky winner of the pick of the live auction. She didn't hesitate a moment, calling out to her husband, Rob, "We're going to Australia!"
The genuine baroque South Sea pearl necklace, valued at $5,000, was won by Kate Zachovchak, and the home entertainment system was won by Bob Cozzi.
Soul-R-Coaster and Holly and Trina Rizzo provided entertainment.

Smith's role in Robinson's rise created the 42 legacy
It is fitting that 42 set a new box office record for the opening of a baseball movie last weekend. The film pulled in an impressive $27 million.
The story of Jackie Robinson's first season in Brooklyn is as important today as it was in 1947. It is an essential history lesson that goes far beyond sports.
From a journalistic perspective, 42 introduces a new generation to Wendell Smith, an African-American sportswriter. The film shows that Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey (played nicely by Harrison Ford) requests that Smith (Andre Collins) accompany the young Robinson during this immense journey. Smith is portrayed as a key confidant.
The movie, though, hardly captures the totality of Smith's role in integrating baseball and his overall impact on the life of the baseball legend. Quite simply, without Smith, the world might not have ever heard of Jackie Robinson.
It was Smith who recommended Robinson to Rickey.
A 1995 expanded edition of Jerome Holtzman's classic, No Cheering in the Press Box, contains a chapter on Smith. A fine high school athlete from Detroit, he became the sports editor of the Pittsburgh Courier in 1938. Smith said the paper always had a crusade of some sort. He recommended the Courier push for "the inclusion of Negro ballplayers in the big leagues."
Smith also faced discrimination as an African-American sportswriter. He couldn't join the Baseball Writers Association of America, and as a result wasn't allowed in the press box at Forbes Field. He adjusted by interviewing visiting players at their hotel in Pittsburgh. Smith said that 75 percent of them were in favor of integrating the game.
Eventually, the cause picked up traction when papers throughout the country started to print Smith's stories. In April, 1945, Smith helped arrange for Robinson and two other Negro League players to have a tryout with the Boston Red Sox. Nothing came of it, but on his way back to Pittsburgh, Smith paid a visit to Rickey, who was becoming intrigued with the notion of bringing in an African-American player.
From the book:
I told him what had happened and when I said, "Jackie Robinson," he raised his eyebrows and he said, "Jackie Robinson! I knew he was an All-American football player and an All-American basketball player. But I didn't know he played baseball."
I said, "He's quite a baseball player, Mr. Rickey. He's a shortstop."
We talked for a long time about the merits of the three ballplayers I had taken to Boston. Then he said, "You will hear from me."
Rickey called a week later and said he was interested. Smith told Robinson, "Jackie, the Dodgers are trailing you."
It could have ended quickly. Dodger scout Clyde Sukeforth learned of an incident in which it appeared Robinson punched an umpire. Rickey was concerned, because he knew Robinson would need to control himself once he got to the big leagues.
Smith assured Rickey it was just "a routine argument with the umpire."
"I didn't want to tell Mr. Rickey, 'Yes, he's tough to get along with,'" Smith said in the book. "A lot of us knew that. When he was aroused, Jackie had a sizable temper. Then I told Jackie to watch himself, to watch his conduct. Everything he did, on and off the field, would get back to Mr. Rickey."
Why did Smith promote Robinson over others like Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson?
"He wasn't necessarily the best player, but he was the best player at that time for this particular situation," he said.
After Rickey signed Robinson to play for the Dodgers' minor league team in Montreal, he asked Smith to live and travel with him. Smith was paid $50 per week, the same amount he was earning as sports editor of the Courier.
It also proved to be quite a ride for Smith. Like Robinson on the field, Smith decided he also had to play it low-key.
"There were people who wanted to become part of it, to push it faster," Smith said. "Fortunately, I managed to keep them away. If more people had been involved, it would have done more harm than good. That's one of the reasons why we succeeded."
Smith also broke the color barrier, becoming the first African-American member of the BBWAA. He eventually moved to Chicago. In the 1960s, while covering the White Sox, he was instrumental in integrating spring training facilities in Florida.
As fate would have it, Smith died just a month after Robinson's death in 1972. More than a thousand mourners attended his funeral. A Chicago elementary school was named for him in 1973. In 1993, he received the J.G. Taylor Spink Award, the top award for a baseball writer, meriting a place of honor in the Hall of Fame.
Obviously, Smith deserves his spot in Cooperstown along with Robinson. He was more than eyewitness to history. Smith helped create it.
"When I think back, it was absolutely fantastic; all the things we went through," he said in Holtzman's book. "I still think about it; it's hard to conceive. Going into a town and finding a decent place to stay was not easy in those days. Eating in the places we ate, second and third rate. Always having this stigma hanging over your head.
"But I knew Jackie would make it. And I knew if he made it, things had to open up."

A 33-year-old substitute teacher for the Helena-West Helena School District has been arrested and charged with first-degree sexual assault according to Helena-West Helena Police reports. The police report states that the arrest stems from allegations that Brenda Faye Davis, while working as a substitute teacher, had sexual contact with one of her students. "It's unbearable to think about the things that are going on in the Helena-West Helena School District," the mother of the underage student that came forward acknowledging that he had been involved in a relationship with a H-WH school employee told the Helena World in a written statement. "The actions of some of the teachers as well as an administrator have proven clearly they don't have the student's best interest at heart." According to the mother, the relationship had been ongoing for about two months. She also alleged that several school officials were aware of the inappropriate relationship. The Helena World declined to reveal the name of the parent to protect the identity of the student involved. "I am a concerned parent and citizen of Phillips County," she continued. "I want answers as well as justice for my child and others who may have been victims of this kind of abuse." Helena-West Helena Police Chief Uless Wallace told the Helena World Friday that none of the allegations occurred on school property. Davis' bond was set at $25,000.

If you prefer long, gorgeous fingernails without spending tons of money on acrylic, gels, or fake nails, put a good nail care regime in place and see the difference. Short, stubby or unhealthy looking nails or nails that just won't grow past your fingertips are unappealing. Growing and maintaining gorgeous nails is hard because nails aren't alive; they're dead. Since nails aren't alive, they grow by new cells developing deep under the cuticle which pushes out the older dead ones. You can have your nails looking great in no time with a simple yet effective regime.
Stop biting your nails
It may be nerves or anxiety but nail biting can wreak havoc on your nails and cuticles. As hard as it may be to stop this habit, they have some bitter tasting polishes on the market. You can use it on your bare nail, or on top of polish, the only thing is, they may have to be re-applied every few days for the bitter taste to stay.
File your nails
Depending on genes, eating habits and environment factors, nails may break easily. Nails that are uneven tend to break easily. It is recommended to file at least once a week. Stash files everywhere, and whenever you see unevenness, file them all to the same length, shape, and size. Make sure to file in the same direction, to prevent nail breakage. Replace your file every month, or even before the grain smooths out.
Water & Vitamins
It is recommended to drink water and take vitamins like MSM and biotin to help keep nails long and strong. You can also take multi vitamins to speed up growth and moisturizing lotion helps keep the moisture in.
Things to Avoid
When removing nail polish, try not to use 100% acetone nail polish remover because it dries out your nails. This decreases their strength and leaves them open to damage.
There are acetone free polish removers available.
