After twelve arduous labors, and the death of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods finding his only solace in bloody battle.

Over the years, he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting, and the presence of death. These men and women never question where they go to fight, or why, or whom, just how much they will be paid. Now, the King of Thrace, Lord Cotys Sir John Hurt has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time.

It is time for this bunch of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen, when they must train an army to become as ruthless and bloodthirsty as their reputation has become.

Before he was a legend, he was a man. Rated PG for epic battle sequences, violence, suggestive comments, brief strong language and partial nudity. Did you know Edit. Hercules then decides to travel to the temple of Zeus. Lightning comes down bringing the statue of Zeus to life and tells Hercules that he is his father and someone stole him from his parents Hera and Zeus. Zeus tells him that he must prove himself a true hero before he can join the other gods on Mount Olympus.

Along with his flying horse Pegasus , Hercules goes to Philoctetes , an unhappy satyr who has failed to train a true hero yet; he decides to take on Hercules as his final attempt. After training with Phil, the three of them attempt to save the beautiful Megara , a damsel in distress, from a centaur named Nessus.

A smitten Hercules barely succeeds and Meg returns to the forest, where she is revealed to be a minion for Hades, having sold her soul in order to save her lover's life; her lover abandoned her and now Meg must do favors for Hades in order to avoid an eternity in the underworld. When Hades learns that Hercules is alive, he is enraged and plots to murder him again.

Meanwhile Hercules arrives to Thebes and tries to prove himself a hero, though a group of citizens doubt and ridicule him as an amateur. After freeing two boys Pain and Panic in disguise from under a boulder, Hercules unintentionally releases the Hydra , a serpent-like monster, an unintended consequence of a seemingly virtuous act which has been set up as a fixed contest by Hades to kill the young hero.

Phil ran for cover while Hercules bravely fights the Hydra with just his sword and his wits. Hercules scrambles to defeat the monster until it flipped him into the air and swallowed him whole.

But after a moment, Hercules cuts his way out by decapitation, only for more heads to grow back and gang up to attack him. Finally, Hercules prevails by using his strength to cause a landslide, crushing the multi-headed monster while he survives, but badly bruised and wounded. Having accomplished the unsavory yet heroic task of defeating the Hydra, Hercules earns newfound fame and adoration from the citizens of Thebes as well as the anger of Hades.

Now having the respect and support of the people of Thebes, Hercules soon becomes a national celebrity as a result. Realizing that his plans are jeopardized, Hades sends Meg out to discover Hercules' weakness, promising her freedom in return. Hercules is disappointed to learn from his father Zeus that he has yet to become a true hero and spends the day with Meg, who finds herself developing strong romantic feelings for Hercules.

When Hades intervenes, she turns against him, finally accepting she has fallen in love with Hercules, much to Hades' dismay, but plots to use Meg, realizing she is Hercules' weakness. Phil learns of Meg's involvement with Hades and, thinking she willingly desires to work for him, tries to warn Hercules, who ignores Phil and knocks him to the ground in an outrage. Discouraged, Phil leaves for home.

Hades arrives, interrupting Hercules' training, talks a lot, then snaps his fingers, making Meg appear. Before she can finish her sentence, Hades snaps his fingers and she disappears, tied up and gagged by smoke, then reappears with another snap of Hades' fingers. He uses Meg to try to get Hercules to give up his God-like superhuman strength for twenty-four hours, though Hercules adds the condition that Meg will be safe from any harm.

Meg shakes her head frantically, trying to convince Hercules not to make the deal, but he does not listen. When Hades sets Meg free, Hades spitefully reveals that she was working for him all along. Deeply heartbroken and crushed, and now realizing Phil had been telling him the truth, but he didn't believe him, the now-weakened Hercules loses the will to fight the Cyclops that Hades unleashes upon him when he frees the Titans from Tartarus.

Meg finds and unties Pegasus and battles her fear of heights to find Phil , persuading him to come back and help Hercules regain his confidence. He finishes off the Cyclops, but just as a pillar is about to crush Hercules, Meg pushes him out of the way and takes the hit, saving him because "people always do crazy things when they're in love.

As a result, the deal is broken, and Hercules' god-like superhuman strength is returned. See more at IMDbPro. Clip Video So Far. Photos Top cast Edit. Tate Donovan Hercules as Hercules voice.

Hercules, son of the Greek God, Zeus, is turned into a half-god, half-mortal by evil Hades, God of the Underworld, who plans to overthrow Zeus.

Hercules is raised on Earth and retains his god-like strength, but when he discovers his immortal heritage Zeus tells him that to return to Mount Olympus he must become a true hero. Hercules becomes a famous hero with the help of his friend Pegasus and his personal trainer, Phil the satyr. Hercules battles monsters, Hades and the Titans, but it is his self-sacrifice to rescue his love Meg which makes him a true hero.

After his endorsement of Trump, Christie played a significant behind-the-scenes role in the presidential campaign, helping prepare Trump for debates and liaise with policy experts, donors, and other potential allies.

But when the "Access Hollywood" tape, in which Trump was recorded boasting about sexually assaulting women, was released just a few weeks before the election, Christie appeared to take a step back from the nominee, calling Trump's comments "completely indefensible. The governor had reportedly been positioning himself to be attorney general , but wasn't offered the job and was forced to hand the reins of the transition over to Vice President Mike Pence three days after the election.

Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former chief strategist, said in September that Christie missed out on a Trump Cabinet nomination because of his failure to support the president in the wake of the tape's release. But over the July 4th weekend, Christie was photographed lounging on the beach outside of the governor's seaside residence in Island Beach State Park during a state-wide government shutdown.

The incident sparked immediate outrage, as regular New Jerseyans were prevented from enjoying many of the state's beaches that holiday weekend. And Christie appeared to lie about his beach outing, telling reporters at a press conference later that day that he "didn't get any sun today.

The transition team was a group of around aides, policy experts, government affairs officials, and former government officials who were tasked with vetting, interviewing, and recommending individuals for top cabinet and staff roles in Trump's administration.

After placing sixth in the New Hampshire primary , Christie suspended his presidential campaign on February 10, Christie announced his bid for re-election as governor on November 26, He confirmed his candidacy in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated parts of New Jersey.

Incumbent Republican Gov. Chris Christie and Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono each faced a single opponent in the June 4 primary election.

Christie and Buono won their respective parties' nominations with roughly 90 percent of the vote apiece. Grossman's campaign criticized Christie for actions taken during his first term, while Buono's opponent Troy Webster , adviser to the mayor of East Orange, argued that he was uniquely suited to making New Jersey friendlier to "the working poor and middle class families who have been literally 'thrown under the bus.

In New Jersey, gubernatorial candidates have 30 days to select a lieutenant gubernatorial running mate with whom to share their ticket in the general election. Immediately after launching his re-election campaign, Christie announced that he would once again run alongside Lt.

Wildstein pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy in May Bridget Kelly , then Christie's deputy chief of staff focusing on intergovernmental affairs. She wrote the original email to Wildstein that said, "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee. The Christie administration's internal report puts the blame for the scandal on Kelly and Wildstein. Kelly was indicted on multiple counts of conspiracy, but has pleaded not guilty. Bill Baroni , then the Port Authority's deputy executive director, its top operational official from New Jersey.

In texts to his subordinate Wildstein, Baroni mockingly referred to Fort Lee's mayor, Mark Sokolich as Serbia, and would not respond when the mayor asked for help with the traffic. In November , Baroni gave inaccurate testimony to a committee of New Jersey legislators, repeatedly asserting that the lane closures were part of a traffic study. The Christie administration's internal review found no evidence that Baroni knew of the ulterior motive behind the lane closures in advance.

Baroni was indicted on multiple counts of conspiracy, and has pleaded not guilty. It seems odd that Christie's team, then coasting to re-election, would care about an endorsement from the Democratic mayor of New Jersey's 67th largest town.

Christie has said he didn't even know Sokolich's name. Nevertheless, Christie has said publicly that he wanted a landslide re-election victory, and he took some unusual actions to increase that margin. Bridget Kelly, who wrote the "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" email, headed the operation that attempted to win the endorsements of many local Democratic officials for Christie, and the campaign often scheduled events spotlighting endorsements from even small-town Democratic mayors.

Also, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop has described how, after he decided not to endorse Christie, several officials from state commissions canceled meetings with him without explanation — so hardball tactics were common. The Christie administration's internal review found that Kelly and Wildstein executed the lane closures "for some ulterior motive to target Mayor Sokolich," but that the specific motive was "not yet clear. However, the report says that in August , "something happened to change this dynamic dramatically," and Kelly's references to Sokolich in emails suddenly became quite hostile.

Before the scandal, Christie was considered by some to be the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, due to his blue-state popularity and his recent landslide re-election. But in early , the establishment Republicans once thought to be gettable for Christie began flocking to other candidates , like Jeb Bush. Though polling for the primary doesn't mean too much at this point, the decline in Christie's numbers from late has been striking.

A similar drop is evident in head-to-head polling that pits Christie against Hillary Clinton. Christie led Clinton in several polls conducted in late , but has trailed her in every single one afterward.

Shortly after Bridgegate blew up, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer made other allegations of corruption against Christie's administration — allegations that US Attorney Paul Fishman has since examined, but decided not to pursue further. Zimmer claimed that Lt. Kim Guadagno told her that if she didn't move forward with a certain development project, Hoboken would receive less aid for Hurricane Sandy relief.

That project was represented by the law firm of David Samson — a close Christie friend who was chairman of the Port Authority. But Guadagno quickly called Zimmer's allegations "wholly and completely false.

On May 1, , US Attorney Paul Fishman sent a letter to Guadagno saying his office had investigated the allegations, and had "concluded that no further action is warranted in this matter. Accordingly, the investigation of those allegations has been closed. In a few cases involving large corporations or nonprofits accused of wrongdoing during Christie's tenure as US attorney, Christie agreed not to prosecute as long as the institution accepted a federal monitor, who would try to ensure reform of business practices.

This seems reasonable, but the catch is that these federal monitors were private-sector attorneys who would be paid millions of dollars.

Some bartenders like to trace the shape of a Shamrock leaf into the top of the head as they do this, leaving this lucky charm indented into the foam when it is served, although Guinness themselves do not seem too bothered by this - clearly that is a step too far in terms of detail, even for them. Pints of Guinness at various stages of their While you may be forgiven for thinking that this science tutorial has come to an end, I am yet to cover the important business of drinking this simple that has probably taken a good four minutes to create.

The reason that Guinness are so keen to craft the perfect pint is so that the consumer enjoys drinking it. In order to maximise your chances of this happening, the first sip must be taken horizontally, in order to consume the lighter head with its delicate flavour compounds evaporating off, alongside a gulp of the bittersweet, malty drink; the two together create a perfect balance of flavours in the drink, which Guinness argue you would not experience if a pint was poured without such attention to detail, owing to the creation of larger bubbles, and a head that is either too large or too small.

Elevate the injured or sore area on pillows while applying ice and anytime you are sitting or lying down. Try to keep the area at or above the level of your heart to help minimize swelling. They include: Ibuprofen, such as Advil or Motrin. Naproxen, such as Aleve or Naprosyn.

Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label. Credits Current as of: November 16, Top of the page Next Section: Related Information. The part that's compressed will not soak up water, but the part that's exposed will. That's exactly how capillaries work. Elevation controls blood flow with gravity. By keeping the area above the level of the heart, we are reducing the pressure of the blood that is pumped there.

In combination with all of the other components of RICE, the reduced pressure results in reduced flow. All of this is great for turning off the blood spigot. It reduces swelling and keeps the area a little numb to the pain of recovery. Unfortunately, it might also cause recovery to take a lot longer. Blood flow is necessary for healing. Our bodies have to break down damaged cells and rebuild using raw materials. It's like a construction site. We have to keep the traffic flowing in order to haul away waste and debris as well as deliver nutrients and energy.

Watch what a construction site does if the roads are blocked. Nothing happens. The whole process takes longer. That's exactly what the body does when blood flow isn't allowed in the area. Instead of reducing blood flow, healing requires controlled blood flow. That doesn't mean we can't do anything to help. Modern medicine has proved that we can certainly guide healing and help get the injured area back to pre-injury status. If we promote the right kind of controlled blood flow and rehabilitation, we might be able to improve upon the process.

It requires that we stop impairing blood flow in the name of comfort and encouraging the right blood flow to improve healing.

METH is an acronym for movement, elevation, traction, and heat. It is emerging as the new RICE. Right away, it seems as if we are going to do exactly the opposite of what we've been doing for years.

That's not how this works. Heat instead of cold? A little. Movement instead of rest? But that doesn't mean we should throw out the baby with the bathwater. Some of what we did under RICE still applies. We are still going to elevate the injury to control the blood flow, just not stop it. First, stop cutting blood flow to injured areas.

It just makes the whole thing drag out and it puts the patient at risk for additional injury due to decreased sensation in the area. Let's control blood flow and encourage it in the right way. Movement means what it says. A moderate or severe sprain may require you to keep up these treatment steps for longer—up to several weeks. Ankle Anatomy: Muscles and Ligaments.

There will also be limits to just how much you can manipulate and alter the washing time in this manner as well. So, due to the complexities and limitations, this method is not one you should really rely on. In a pinch or desperate situation it might be worth considering but remember to take your energy bills into consideration. So, that leaves you with one other main alternative namely the quick wash.

As I mentioned earlier your quick wash cycle is going to usually be your first port of call when you need something washing quickly. But the problem with quick wash cycles is that they are not very good! Loading your washer correctly will help prevent this issue!

Sanitize and heavy duty cycles: Sanitize cycles typically run over 2 hours! Cycles like "Whitest Whites" and other heavy duty cycles use hot water more on that below. They may have extend the "soaking" periods in the cycle to let detergent penetrate the fabrics more deeply, as well as extended agitation and extra rinses. Cycles like these can easily extend to 3 hours. Hot water washes: Most mid-range washers today have an internal water heater to bring the wash water up to the right temperature for the cycle and any selections you've made.

The washer may even pause the cycle to heat the water to the proper temperature. Aside from killing germs which is nice when it comes to sheets, towels, cloth diapers, and other items , using more hot water won't improve your detergent's cleaning performance. High soil level selections typically mean your washer will fill, spin, and rinse the clothes more times than it would for a lower soil selection. Save the heavy soil option for heavy soils - it's unlikely to improve wash performance on a typical load.

Extra rinses, prewashes, and soak options. Similarly to the heavy soil option, options to prewash, soak, or add an extra rinse should be saved for items that need it. An extra rinse alone can add minutes to the total cycle time. If you're using the extra rinse option to eliminate white detergent streaks on your clothes I'm definitely guilty of this , you're probably using too much HE detergent, or mixing heavier-weight fabrics with lighter ones.

If you've ruled out these factors , there may be something wrong with your washer's load sense system, the water inlet valve, or something else. If you hate waiting around for your laundry to finish up, consider a smart washer that can notify you via your smartphone when a cycle is complete! Many mid-range washers also come with digital time remaining readouts that estimate how long the wash will take based on the options you select and the size of the load.

PS: Making sure you know how to load your washer to avoid overloading and the resulting rebalancing will help ensure that these time remaining readouts are accurate! Your washer may be able to predict the time when it first starts the cycle, but it won't be able to predict whether the load will become unbalanced. Many mid-range and high-end washers offer a quick cycle that can typically wash your clothes in 30 minutes or less.

These cycles are optimized for small loads that are lightly soiled. They don't clean as deeply as a full wash cycle , so they're not a great choice for your muddy gardening pants or a week's worth of smelly gym clothes. Make sure to use the Quick Wash cycle as it was intended to get the best performance out of your washer. Some brands have begun focusing more on reducing cycle times.

For example, LG's TurboWash technology the 3. TurboWash combines the rinsing, spinning, and draining parts of the cycle to reduce wash times without compromising on cleaning power. Samsung's Super Speed option is similar. We hope this article helped you learn more about today's washing machines and how you can keep the wash-dry-fold process running smoothly!

Antibiotics can also be used to promote growth in livestock. They are similar to those used in humans but are not meant to treat health issues. This use of antibiotics increases the development of drug-resistant bacteria, which can be transmitted to humans, making it harder to treat infections.

Increased exposure to pesticides can lead to increased risk of ADHD and autism. It is also linked to reduced cognitive skills, ability to learn and memory. There is also a potential link between cancer and pesticides. In , the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified three common pesticides as carcinogenic. The primary exposure in humans was through diet. Organic diets we know lead to less pesticide and antibiotic exposure, but nutritionally, they are about the same.

But eating organic is an advantage since we know pesticides can lead to neurodevelopmental issues and are strongly associated with cancer. In contrast, strawberries, spinach, grapes, apples, tomatoes and celery have high levels of pesticide residues. If you want to get the most bang for your buck on produce, frozen veggies can be cheaper than fresh, and they are very similar in quality.

The impact on the climate from organic farming is reportedly the same with biofuels such as ethanol made from wheat, sugarcane and corn, as well as biodiesel from palm oil, rape-seed and soya. According to them, this is even more so because of the greater areas of land required to produce these alternative foods.

Clearly, the findings pit the more health conscious among us against those fighting against climate change. The question mark over organic food and its impact on climate is not a new one. In fact, in , scientists at Stanford University, California, published a meta study in the Annals of Internal Medicine on researches comparing organic and non-organic food. Their findings revealed that there was no evidence that the former was more nutritious than the latter.

Also, even though conventional foods did contain more pesticides, they were within permitted limits. It is true that pesticide- and fertiliser-use has been on the upswing over the last few years, bringing with it negative impact on health. The demand curve for organic food has been matching the fertiliser-use curve as populations, mostly in the West, are searching for more health-friendly, local and organic alternatives.

Any product labeled as organic on the product description or packaging must be USDA certified. These producers must follow the guidelines for organic food production, but they do not need to go through the certification process. The USDA also has guidelines on how organic foods are described on product labels:.

No, "natural" and "organic" are not interchangeable terms. In general, "natural" on a food label means that it has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. It does not refer to the methods or materials used to produce the food ingredients. Other common food labels should also not be confused with organic labels.

For example, the guidelines for certified organic beef include — among a number of requirements — access to pasture during a minimum day grazing season and no growth hormones. But the labels "free-range" or "hormone-free," while they must be used truthfully, do not indicate a farmer followed all guidelines for organic certification.

There is a growing body of evidence that shows some potential health benefits of organic foods when compared with conventionally grown foods. While these studies have shown differences in the food, there is limited information to draw conclusions about how these differences translate into overall health benefits.

One common concern with organic food is cost. Organic foods typically cost more than their conventional counterparts. Higher prices are due, in part, to more expensive farming practices.

They may not be given antibiotics, growth hormones, or any animal by-products. How your food is grown or raised can have a major impact on your mental and emotional health as well as the environment. Organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their conventionally-grown counterparts and people with allergies to foods, chemicals, or preservatives may find their symptoms lessen or go away when they eat only organic foods.

Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as synthetic fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on and in the food we eat.

Organic produce is sometimes but not always, so watch where it is from produced on smaller farms nearer to where it is sold. Organic farming tends to be better for the environment. Organic farming practices may reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without synthetic pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.

Organically raised animals are NOT given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed animal byproducts. Feeding livestock animal byproducts increases the risk of mad cow disease BSE and the use of antibiotics can create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Organically-raised animals tend to be given more space to move around and access to the outdoors, which help to keep them healthy.

Organic meat and milk can be richer in certain nutrients. Results of a European study show that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions. Organic food is GMO-free. Genetically Modified Organisms GMOs or genetically engineered GE foods are plants whose DNA has been altered in ways that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding, most commonly in order to be resistant to pesticides or produce an insecticide.

For complete information regarding syntax and additional examples, see the description of the CAST function. In some cases, this syntax can be deceiving. For example, a value such as '' might look like a time value because of the : , but is interpreted as the year '' if used in date context. The value '' is converted to '' because '45' is not a valid month. The only delimiter recognized between a date and time part and a fractional seconds part is the decimal point. The server requires that month and day values be valid, and not merely in the range 1 to 12 and 1 to 31, respectively.

With strict mode disabled, invalid dates such as '' are converted to '' and a warning is generated. With strict mode enabled, invalid dates generate an error. See Section 5. Dates containing 2-digit year values are ambiguous because the century is unknown. MySQL interprets 2-digit year values using these rules:.

Timestamp I agree as it shows a hexadecimal value like 0xD9 which simply increments by 1 whenever I make any update in the row. Then why are you saying that both formats are not capable of storing date and time. This counter is the database rowversion. This tracks a relative time within a database, not an actual time that can be associated with a clock.
