|The Enterprise discovers the wreckage of the SS Beagle, a survey vessel missing for six years. The sensors indicate that the wreckage originate at a nearby planet, the fourth in Star System 892. The ship proceeds to the planet to search for survivors, with Kirk hoping to locate the Captain, R.M. Merik, who was a friend of his.
On arrival they intercept television broadcasts from the planet indicating that the civilisation there is a close parallel to the Roman Empire on Earth, only in this case the Empire never fell but continued to progress technologically until it reached a level comparable to mid 20th century Earth. But the Empire retains the brutality associated with ancient Rome, including televised Gladiatorial combat. The crew witness such a combat and notice that the defeated 'barbarian' is William B. Harrison, the flight officer of the SS Beagle.
Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to investigate the situation, arriving a short distance outside the city the broadcast was coming from. Unfortunately they are quickly captured by a renegade group calling themselves the Children of the Sun; a religious cult who apparently engage in sun worship. Former champion Gladiator Flavius Maximus is amongst their number, a man who renounced his violent ways when he joined the group. Kirk convinced the group's leader, Septimus, that the landing party is from a ship offshore. He explains why they are there and Spetimus suggests that Merik could be Merikus, the First Citizen. Septimus asks Flavius to lead Kirk and his officers into the city in disguise. Unfortunately they are soon spotted by the police and captured.
Taken to the city, Kirk manages to convince his captors to allow him to meet Merikus. It is indeed his old friend R.M. Merik, captain of the Beagle. Merik takes Kirk to Proconsul Claudius Marcus, who to Kirk's surprise knows all about the offworld origins of Merik and Kirk. Merik explains that when the Beagle was lost his men were stranded on the planet and left with the choice of assimilating or being killed. Those who refused to assimilate were forced to fight in the Gladiator games until they were killed. Claudius demands that Kirk contact the Enterprise and order the crew to beam down to their own fate, but Kirk gives the coded command Condition Green - signalling that the landing party is in trouble but forbidding any rescue attempt. With this, and the planet's status as a pre-warp society, there is virtually nothing that the Enterprise can do to help. Claudius is surprised by Kirk's resistance, and orders Spock and McCoy sent to the games to be killed.
Kirk is made to watch as Spock and McCoy fight Flavius and another Gladiator. Spock is easily able to defeat his opponent thanks to his superior Vulcan physique, but McCoy only survives because Flavius holds back. Kirk feigns amusement at the spectacle, pretending not to care if his officers are killed, much to Claudius's surprise. Merik chimes in that as a Starship commander, Kirk is the very best Humanity has to offer - far more capable than himself, as he tried and failed to achieve such a post. In the end Spock overpowers both opponents, which is against the rules of the combat. Claudius spares them, thinking to use them as further leverage against Kirk.
McCoy and Spock are put in a cell, where Spock rebuffs McCoy's attempts to thank him for saving his life. McCoy angrily accuses Spock of being so desperate to hide his emotions that he's terrified of actually living his life fully. When Spock refuses to engage with the conversation McCoy wearily admits that they are both just worrying about Kirk.
Kirk, meanwhile, is being kept in far more luxurious surroundings. Claudius assures him that in the end he will have no choice but to compromise - and a beautiful slave girl, Drusilla is sent to seduce Kirk as part of the "carrot" part of the carrot and stick approach.
The Enterprise picks up a broadcast announcing Kirk's execution in the arena. Scott, frustrated at his inability to intervene directly, decides to scan the power sources on the planet and simultaneously disrupt them all for a few moments. He hopes that this demonstration of the power of the ship might give those below some second thoughts, whilst not counting as a direct intervention.
Kirk is taken to the arena for his execution. He manages to escape thanks to the power blackout, though Flavius is killed in the process. He frees Spock and McCoy from their cell, but the police arrive and engage them in combat with swords. Merik uses a communicator he has stolen to contact the ship and tell them where the officers are, and is stabbed and killed by Claudius. As the guards open fire on Kirk, Spock and McCoy the three officers are beamed away just in the nick of time.
Back on board, Spock muses on the parallels between Earth and Planet 892-IV, although he notes that ancient Rome did not have Sun worship. Uhura, who has been monitoring the planet's broadcasts, chimes in to say that they have all misunderstood the situation. The rebels do not worship the Sun, but the Son - the Son of God. Kirk marvels that 892-IV had Ceasar and Christ both, and wonders what it would be like to watch the inevitable spread of Christianity on the planet. With that, the ship departs.

Though its name may not be immediately familiar, kaolin is an active ingredient in many skincare products. Kaolin is a type of soft, clay-like substance that is used in various facial products such as masks, peels, soaps, cosmetics, and other products and treatments. Due to its origins in Chinese clay mixtures, it is sometimes referred to as China clay. It is a natural, white mineral that has been used for hundreds of years for skincare, medicinal treatments, pottery, and other purposes. Kaolin continues to be a popular ingredient in beauty products due to its safe nature, absorbency, and soothing properties. Kaolin is created by the chemical weathering of certain minerals, which leaves the clay behind. It can sometimes be tinted a reddish hue in areas where iron oxide is present.
Kaolin is used in the skincare and beauty industry in a variety of ways. It is most commonly used in facial masks, but also appears in other products. Kaolin is a very absorbent substance. This quality makes it ideal for purifying masks as it helps to clear pores of problematic dirt, oil, pollutants, and other impurities. The clay texture of kaolin makes it a popular ingredient in masks as it provides skincare benefits and also acts as an excellent base. The thickness of kaolin is ideal for holding other ingredients in the mixture and its ability to penetrate the pores makes it a good delivery mechanism for other treatments.
Other serums and products that are intended to reduce the skin's level of oiliness throughout the day rely on kaolin to absorb excess moisture and oil. These products utilize this natural ingredient to keep skin looking fresh and healthy while reducing the appearance of excess shine. Though kaolin may not be ideal for people with dry skin, it is suitable for combination and sensitive skin types. For users with combination skin that experience excess oil on some areas of the face, kaolin works to clear the pores and to soak up excess moisture without causing flakiness or overly dry patches on other areas.
Many cosmetic companies incorporate kaolin into face powders, liquid powders, and foundations. In these products, kaolin works to ensure a smooth finish while preventing the powder or foundation from caking or appearing uneven. Due to its absorbent nature, kaolin is an ideal ingredient in cosmetic powders as it helps reduce oily shine throughout the day. As many foundations and powders can prompt the skin to produce more oil, kaolin products help to fend off this issue and keep skin looking fresh and matte.
Many facial cleansers also include kaolin as an ingredient. In these products, kaolin plays multiple roles. It is excellent for regulating the oil and moisture in skin, promoting a smoother and healthier complexion, and absorbing excess shine. Kaolin provides acne-fighting benefits to breakout-prone skin by improving skin's balance and reducing the levels of pore-clogging oils, dirt, and toxins. General skin inflammation, caused by a variety of environmental factors, can also be addressed with kaolin cleansers. Kaolin increases circulation to the impacted areas of skin, helping to stimulate healing and to reduce irritation. Using a cleanser that contains kaolin prior to applying makeup can help to control oil production and prevent unwanted shine.
Some bath product manufacturers add kaolin into bath formulas to improve the texture of the water and to pamper skin. This is intended to give the bath water a luxurious smoothness. Kaolin bath products are reported to have a soothing effect on irritated or sensitive skin, leaving skin soft and smooth.
In some regions of the world, kaolin was traditionally used to treat an upset stomach or diarrhea. It can also be found in clay used for making pottery. Kaolin is often credited for the signature look of porcelain and other Chinese-style ceramics. Other items include trace amounts of kaolin for various purposes, such as toothpaste, paper, additives used in food, and other common goods.
The only recorded negative health impacts caused by kaolin are associated with high levels industrial inhalation in a setting such as a mine. Pure kaolin is available for purchase as many users like to experiment with creating their own masks and other skincare solutions using the safe and natural mineral.

- We do not recommend cleaning your Ann Kary pewter in the dishwasher, but rather hand washing with warm water and mild soap. It is important to dry the pewter shortly after washing, as standing water droplets may stain the pewter if allowed to dry. The pieces do not require polishing, but can be buffed with a soft cloth to help maintain their luster. Food can be served on any of the platters and trays, and warmed in the oven up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spiral Appetizer Tray
The Ann Kary Pewter Company was founded in 1989 by an affluent Mexican family who recognized the value of high-quality Mexican handicrafts. Even today, the same family maintains special attention to all aspects of the production process, from designing the molds, to selecting only high-quality materials, to finishing the pieces with a select and experienced labor force. It is for these exacting measures that each piece of Ann Kary pewter will surely make a welcome addition to any home, providing an elegant highlight at meals both large and small.
Please Choose an Item
All Ann Kary pewter pieces are lead free and made of 95% recycled aluminum and 5% zinc. The malleable aluminum is combined with zinc to add the necessary hardness to the finished product, while the brilliant, lustered finish is the result of meticulous hand polishing.

Sleek, shiny hair does not always come naturally. Many people deal with frizzy hair, which has a variety of causes. These flyaway hairs can be difficult to manage and maintain, but that does not mean you are stuck with an out-of-control mane for life. Several products and treatments are available to help tame the frizz, allowing you to achieve the vibrant, shiny hair that you've always wanted. Understanding the cause of the frizzy hair is key in helping you to eliminate it.
If you have ever watched your blowout turn into a frizzy mess as soon as you step outside, you know that the weather plays a big role in the condition of your hair. Humidity is the primary cause of frizzy hair, which tends to be drier than other hair. High humidity levels mean more moisture in the air. That moisture comes in contact with the hair's hydrogen bonds, which are responsible for keeping your hair straight and smooth after a blowout. The moisture weakens these bonds, returning your hair to its natural look. So, if you are prone to frizzy hair, a humid day can exacerbate the problem.
Brushing your hair can encourage frizz as well. Brushing lifts the cuticle of the hair, or the hair's top layer, which normally stays flat. This lifted layer represents that dreaded frizz. Further, overuse of heat-styling products or too many chemical treatments can contribute to frizzy hair. Such hair care techniques can create dry and damaged hair, which goes hand in hand with some frizz. Finally, some people are more prone to frizzy hair than others. Curly, coarse hair is likely to have more frizz than stick straight hair.
Fortunately, frizzy hair is not an untreatable condition. You can make a few changes to your hair care routine to create sleek, smooth hair. First, eliminating dry hair can combat frizz. Using a daily conditioner as well as a deep conditioner once a week can restore moisture to your hair. You can also choose a leave in conditioner product which stays on your hair to provide continuous moisture. Do not brush wet hair; instead, run your fingers through wet hair to separate any tangles. Do not over-dry your hair when blowing it dry, and dry your hair with a round brush, which can help smooth your hair.
Add a smoothing serum, mousse, gel or cream to your daily hair care routine to tame any frizzy, flyaway hairs. Finally, avoid the blow dryer, curling iron, and hair straightener when you can. Your hair will be less damaged—and therefore, less frizzy—when you reduce the use of heat-styling products. When you do reach for the heat styling tools, choose a dryer with tourmaline technology which reduces seals the cuticle, thereby reducing frizz. It also creates less damage. Choose a flat iron with ceramic plate for a smoother look with less damage.
Olive oil is a dry oil that does not leave any buildup in your hair but reduces frizz.
Specific ingredients can help treat frizzy hair as well. Choose a conditioner with protein in it, which can help smooth your hair. Select alcohol-free hair products, from shampoos and conditioners to gels and mousses, as alcohol can lead to dry hair and, in turn, frizz. Natural oils, including ones you can find in your kitchen, can combat flyaway hair. Olive oil is a dry oil that does not leave any buildup in your hair but reduces frizz. Argan oil, which includes Vitamin E and antioxidants, is another effective way to eliminate frizzy hair. Kendi oil also has a smoothing effect while adding shine and moisture. Simply massage the oil into the ends of damp hair, and style as usual. The natural ingredients in various oils create sleeker, shinier hair. You can also find these oils in various hair products.
If over-the-counter products just are not fighting the frizz, turn to professional treatments. Keratin treatments promise to reduce frizz and curl, leaving you with silky smooth hair every day, even without a blow dryer. Like other salon treatments, keratin treatments have to be repeated every few months, but they can fight extremely frizzy hair. Some salons can wash, treat, and blow out your hair to give it some shine. Finally, look into deep conditioning treatments at salons, which can add much-needed moisture to your hair to help tame the frizz.
Frizzy hair is a common hair ailment, but it is not without a solution. Simple changes to your hair care routine can help fight the frizz. Combine these changes with over-the-counter anti-frizz products or even powerful salon treatments, and you will enjoy sleeker, smoother hair day after day. Your hair type might naturally be frizzy, but you can find many ways to create more manageable hair. Find the solution that works best for your lifestyle, and enjoy the results.

« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|A military power during the 17th century, Sweden has not participated in any war for almost two centuries. An armed neutrality was preserved in both world wars. Sweden's long-successful economic formula of a capitalist system interlarded with substantial welfare elements was challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment and in 2000-02 and 2009 by the global economic downturns, but fiscal discipline over the past several years has allowed the country to weather economic vagaries. Sweden joined the EU in 1995, but the public rejected the introduction of the euro in a 2003 referendum.

Aided by peace and neutrality for the whole of the 20th century, Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits. It has a modern distribution system, excellent internal and external communications, and a highly skilled labor force. In September 2003, Swedish voters turned down entry into the euro system concerned about the impact on the economy and sovereignty. Timber, hydropower, and iron ore constitute the resource base of an economy heavily oriented toward foreign trade. Privately owned firms account for vast majority of industrial output, of which the engineering sector accounts for about 50% of output and exports. Agriculture accounts for little more than 1% of GDP and of employment. Until 2008, Sweden was in the midst of a sustained economic upswing, boosted by increased domestic demand and strong exports. This and robust finances offered the center-right government considerable scope to implement its reform program aimed at increasing employment, reducing welfare dependence, and streamlining the state's role in the economy. Despite strong finances and underlying fundamentals, the Swedish economy slid into recession in the third quarter of 2008 and the contraction continued in 2009 as deteriorating global conditions reduced export demand and consumption. Strong exports of commodities and a return to profitability by Sweden's banking sector drove the strong rebound in 2010, which continued in 2011, but growth slipped to 1.2% in 2012. The government proposed stimulus measures in 2012 to curb the effects of a global economic slowdown and boost employment and growth.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Electric Dragons are masters of electricity, capable of generating charges at will. They can produce different amounts of electricity depending on their mood and time of year. During mating season, their sparks become brighter to attract potential mates. Electric Dragons aren't usually a danger to other dragons, but they do use their power to attack predators and prey.

Nausea and vomiting can be side effects of drugs like epoprostenol and treprostinil. They can also be caused by the heart failure common in PH. Vomiting is how our body gets rid of food it thinks should not be in the stomach. It is stimulated by sensory receptors in the wall of the stomach including stretch receptors that indicate when the stomach is too full, and chemoreceptors that detect possible toxins and poisons. The emetic center in the brain responds by causing a wave of reverse peristalsis in the stomach muscles, expelling the contents.
While vomiting is unpleasant, it is only dangerous when it is severe or prolonged. The main danger is loss of fluids and minerals (magnesium, calcium and potassium). This can cause dehydration, weight loss, and an electrolyte imbalance. If too much fluid is lost, the situation can become dangerous and intravenous fluids and electrolytes may be needed to reverse the imbalances. Nausea, early satiety (feeling over-stuffed) and lack of appetite can be symptoms of worsening right-side heart failure due to progression of PH. If you have prolonged nausea or vomiting, contact your doctor. Also, bosentan and abrisentan are metabolized through your liver, so if you are taking these meds and experience nausea and vomiting you should alert your healthcare provider.

Video feature: Student-athletes serve New Jersey communities
Posted August 5, 2013; 12:00 p.m.
The 2012-13 academic year marked the fifth year of the Weapons of Mass Construction community service initiative spearheaded by the Princeton Varsity Club. Princeton student-athletes took on two projects — helping to build a community garden and restoring hurricane-damaged properties.
An extension of the Department of Athletics' motto of "Education Through Athletics," the program is a way for undergraduate student-athletes, coaches and administrators to give back to the region.
Play the "Weapons of Mass Construction" video.
This video shows students at work on the projects they undertook this year. In the fall, 40 student-athletes helped to build the Gandhi Garden, which turned a vacant lot into a safe and inspiring space in the city of Trenton, N.J. In the spring, 60 student-athletes volunteered as part of the rebuilding effort on the Jersey Shore, working to help restore seven sites, ranging from homes to high schools, from Toms River to Mantoloking, that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
To date, the Weapons of Mass Construction program has seen more than 555 volunteers dedicate about 2,225 service hours to the community. Photos and more details about their projects are available on the Princeton Varsity Club website.

If you've experienced a bad hair day with frizz and fly-aways that just won't give up, you know what a hassle and frustration styling before work, running errands or going out on the town can be. For many, bad hair days happen infrequently, and the problems that cause them like humidity or going to sleep with wet hair are temporary. Damaged hair, however, can make every day a bad hair day, causing problems every time you pick up a brush to get ready to go out.
The Underlying Problem
Understanding the structure of a strand of hair makes it easier to understand what leads to the frizz and fly-aways that make damaged hair so difficult to manage. The hair consists of two or three basic layers. The thickest hairs have a medulla or inner core that gives the hair stability. Found in all hairs, the next layer is the cortex, the center for a hair's strength and the location of the pigments that give it color. On the outside of the hair is the cuticle, a thin protective coating.
All three layers of a hair strand are composed of keratin protein molecules along with other elements. When your hair emerges from the follicle, the tissue is already dead, meaning that the cells cannot produce more keratin. Hair becomes damaged when something breaks the keratin molecules in the cuticle, exposing the cortex of the hair. This gives hair strands an uneven texture that causes them to become frizzy. When the hair absorbs moisture, the holes in the cuticle cause the cortex to swell unevenly, which gives rise to unmanageable fly-aways.
A number of things can affect the cuticle and lead to damage and breakage. Some common culprits include:
- Chemical treatments like perms, straighteners and hair coloring can all affect the protein structure of the hair, particularly if they are not performed properly or repeated too often.
- Heat from blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons and hot rollers can actually burn the hair strand, damaging the cuticle.
- Excessive dryness makes the hair brittle and less pliant, causing imperfections in the cuticle to form.
- Sunlight's ultraviolet rays can cause cellular damage, destroying protein cells.
- Chlorine from swimming pools may cause damage if you swim frequently.
- Styling damage from putting your hair in ponytails and up-dos and from brushing and drying too aggressively can result in the damage of keratin protein cells in the cuticle.
If your hair is damaged and difficult to work with, there are steps that you can take to help improve its texture and manageability. Among the options available are home remedies, salon and spa treatments and hair care products.
Home Remedies
To treat damaged hair at home, you'll need to prepare a hair mask using ingredients that can replace the lost protein in the cuticle. One mask combines honey with egg whites to strengthen the hair strands. To create the mask, mix one tablespoon of water and the whites of two eggs in a bowl. Mix well with a whisk until the solution is slightly frothy. Then, add one tablespoon of honey and mix until blended. Rinse your hair with warm water and then apply the mask. Let it rest in place for up to 30 minutes. Then, rinse with cold water. Repeat the mask weekly until the damage improves. You can also apply coconut oil to help soften and moisturize the strands.
If your hair is very dry, you can also apply coconut oil to help soften and moisturize the strands. Thin the oil with a splash of water and then massage it through your hair. Apply a shower cap or wrap your head in plastic and let the oil remain in place over night. In the morning, rinse with cold water and then shampoo and condition as usual.
Salon Treatments
Some salons and spas offer protein treatments to help ease damage caused by a variety of factors. These treatments involve applying a solution to your hair and leaving it in place for an extended period of time. Then, your hairstylist will rinse away the treatment, just like you would a hair mask at home. A deep conditioning treatment is a good follow-up to help keep your hair supple and more resilient to damaging elements.
If your hair is extremely damaged and other treatments just aren't making a difference, you may want to simply cut your hair to a short length to remove as much of the damage as possible. Talk to your stylist about what shorter haircuts would suit your face and look online and in magazines to find inspiration to get a healthy, more manageable style that you'll love.
Hair Care Products
Damaged hair needs special care, making it important that you select a shampoo that is formulated especially for problem hair. These shampoos frequently contain protein-rich ingredients as well as emollients to help smooth and soften the hair strands. Always follow up with a conditioner for damaged hair to get the best results. Masks and leave-in treatments are intended for use one to three times per week.
Many top hair care brands offer special treatments for damaged hair. Among them are rinse-away hair masks that produce results in as little as 10 to 15 minutes and those that are designed to be worn overnight. You'll also find leave-in, no-rinse conditioners designed to repair damage. Typically, masks and leave-in treatments are intended for use one to three times per week to complement damaged hair shampoos and conditioners.
Preventing Damage
To prevent damage from occurring or worsening, here are sme easy steps that you can take.
- Only have a professional, licensed stylist perform chemical treatments on your hair.
- Follow your stylist's recommendations for the frequency of chemical treatments.
- Visit your stylist every 4 to 6 weeks and have at least .25 inches trimmed from the ends of your hair.
- Before blow-drying or using hot styling tools, apply a thermal barrier spray to your hair. This will minimize the risk of burning.
- Never blow-dry your hair until it is completely dry. Stop while it's still wet.
- Don't use hot styling tools every day and let your hair air dry at least once per week to minimize your hair's exposure to heat.
- Spray on a leave-in conditioner with a sunscreen to protect your hair from sun damage when you'll be exposing your hair to the sun for hours on end.
- Rinse your hair with spring water before you swim and then rinse it as soon as possible afterwards to minimize the effects of chlorine.
- Only use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair, never a brush.
- If your hair has become damaged in the past, don't twist it up in a towel when you get out of the shower. Pat it dry with an ultra-absorbent towel instead.

The royal wedding in Stockholm, Sweden that took place on Saturday 19th of June.
The Swedish crownprincess Victoria married a man of the people, Daniel Westling. Royalties from all over Europe where among the guests.
The King and Queen of Sweden appears on this picture and so does the primeminister and most of the members of his cabinette.
The picture shows the couple in front of Stockholms castle.
The picture is taken from a hotel on the 5th floor at a distance of 200 meters. The weddingcouple has just ended a cortege and a trip with a royal ship through central Stockholm. The procession was followed by over one hundred thousand people.
The picture took about 15 minutes to take and is composed by 220 pictures. The photographer, Bengt Kjellin, works for Swedens second largest morningpaper Göteborgs-Posten (www.gp.se ) and a smaller version of it was also published in print.
For those of you who understand swedish, here is an interview with the photographer himself: www.gp.se/nyheter/sverige/victoriadaniel/1.395275-succe-for-zoombilden

he's fine with the hearing aid.
It's great for him, because he
really needs -- he had Botox
injections to stretch his muscles.
So all this stretching is exactly what he needs.
A neurodegenerative disease called Ataxia telangeictasia.
And only 400 families in the
country have kids with it.
He used to do Tae Kwon Do, and
he ended up competing as the
Special Abilities.
But as his balance got worse,
he had to stop doing that.
And this really challenges him
physically and mentally.
