Hyperextension is a frequent cause of bone bruises. These are very long and painful injuries that disrupt the surface of the bone (they're more like many micro-fractures as opposed to a bruise).
See http://www.beyondprinting.com/sportsmed/PDF/thurs/MRI_TH_06.pdf for some more information on the relationship between bone bruises and hyperextension (it also includes bone bruise causes other than hyperextension).

6 Insane Uses of Animals in Wartime (That Actually Worked)
Animals have been used in warfare for centuries. Sometimes it makes perfect sense -- horses have pulled chariots, and mules have carried equipment. Other times, it's more like Mickey Rourke unleashing a tiger on Jean-Claude Van Damme, as witnessed in the war documentary Double Team.
And sometimes, it's crazier than that. That's how we wound up with ...
#6. Flaming Camels
The Mongolian chieftain Timur invaded India in 1398, because when you're Mongolian that's just kind of what you do. He marched on Delhi and was met by the army of Sultan Mahmud Khan, who had 120 war elephants at his command, covered in armor and with giant scimitars attached to their tusks.
"That's OK, guys. I don't want to play anymore."
But that's not the insane use of animals we want to talk about here.
Because do you know what Timur used to counter these unstoppable killing machines? Camels. Flammable, flammable camels.
Confident of victory, Khan ordered his army to advance. Timur needed to do something, and fast. His army was starting to panic, and some of his soldiers were running away. Timur had heard elephants were easily startled, and figuring he had nothing to lose, he uttered the Mongolian equivalent of "Fuck it," ordered all his camels to the front lines, then covered them in straw and oil and set them on fire.
They don't give out crowns like that to the guys who don't light hundreds of camels on fire.
The flaming camels charged forward, probably as a result of being set on fire, and scared the shit out of the elephants. Desperate to get away from the camels, the elephants turned and ran, which was unfortunate for the Indian infantry because they were standing right behind the elephants. Unable to control the stampede, Kahn could only watch helplessly as the elephants tore through his infantry, smashing their heads to atoms. The Indian army was routed in minutes.
Good times were had by all.
Timur went on to sack, pillage and rape the shitnoodles out of Delhi, but he wasn't done there. He had all 120 war elephants rounded up and forced to kneel in front of him, a ceremony during which even the elephants wondered what the hell was going on. Confident that nobody else would think to set their own units on fire, he added the elephants to his army and used them to take Ankara.
#5. Killer Dolphins
Yes, "killer" dolphins -- we're not talking about using dolphins to find underwater mines or rescue soldiers or some shit.
As we have said before, dolphins are assholes. They are also very good guards. The U.S. Navy figured this out and started a marine mammal program in 1960, with the Soviets soon following suit. Yes, the Americans were training their dolphins to perform tasks such as delivering equipment and performing surveillance, but the Soviets wanted their dolphins to get their fins bloody.
You can't see it, but they're all juicing on Kremlin-issued dolphin-roids.
Details of the Soviet Dolphin Division were shrouded in secrecy, and rumors that the dolphins were trained to kill were dismissed for years ... until 2000, when the Ukrainian Navy sold the remaining dolphins to Iran. As it turns out, the dolphins had been trained to perform kamikaze attacks on enemy submarines and impale enemy swimmers with harpoons.
It gets better:
Other Soviet dolphins were trained to jab swimmers with shark darts -- syringes full of pressurized CO2. When the CO2 was injected, pressure of 3,000 psi would enter the swimmer's body, forcing his guts out of his mouth like a tube of toothpaste.
Take that, puny capitalist organs.
Now, this raises the question whether the Americans had secretly trained their own killer dolphins. Rumors exist to this day of a "swimmer nullification program" involving just that. For instance, one European official said he spoke to American dolphin trainers who confirmed they worked with killer dolphins.
The U.S. Navy denies any such program, but in 1977, a Navy dolphin trainer, claimed American dolphins were armed with shark darts. A few years later, the former head of the Navy's marine mammal program sued Penthouse over an article claiming he attempted to sell torpedo dolphins to Latin American countries. The suit was dismissed from court, not because it was absurd but because the Navy felt that the case would release state secrets.
"The U.S. government neither confirms nor denies the existence of genetically engineered super-dolphins. But we are going to need another $40 million in tuna for 'migration pattern studies.' "
Secrets involving dolphin assassins? We can only assume yes.
#4. Turkey Parachutes
The Spanish Civil War began in 1936, an event so important it isn't mentioned in a single American history class. During the war, anarchists took control of parts of southern Spain, driving the Nationalists out of their garrisons and into the hills. One group, led by Capt. Cortes, retreated into the monastery of Santa Maria de la Cabeza (translated literally, "Saint Maria of the Head").
Seen here saving the Earth.
And that's where the turkeys come in.
The Nationalists' defense of the monastery was an impressive feat that quickly turned ridiculous. You see, they were being resupplied via air drops, and somewhere along the line somebody decided that just using parachutes wasn't good enough for the future leaders of Spain. After some intense strategizing, pilots began attaching the supplies to live turkeys and dropping them out of their planes over the monastery.
The turkeys would flap their wings as they fell, slowing their descent while still managing to make their eventual pulverizing landing no less hilarious. Once the feathers cleared, the soldiers on the ground would have their supplies and a fresh turkey to eat.
"Be careful how you cut that turkey. It's filled with enough hand grenades to vaporize an Escalade."
Laugh all you want. It worked.
Sadly, the era of the edible parachute came to an end a year later when the monastery was overrun, something which apparently no amount of ornithological parachuting could prevent. Turkey parachutes faded into obscurity, joined by other, lesser-known animal-based countermeasures such as the crocodile drag chute and the hamster fallout shield.

I've always found it interesting that the Reformation 'began' in Norther Europe. It strikes me that most of the various Christian sects seemed to form within different ethnic groups. So, I'm wondering how long Catholicism lasted in northern Europe before being official rejected.
closed as unclear what you're asking by T.E.D.♦ Nov 20 '13 at 20:10
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The last major pagan group in Europe was the Sami in northern Scandinavia.
Although missionaries traveled north and churches were built aready in the 16th-17th century, the sami were predominantly pagan until forced christianization that started in the 18th century. (1720 in Norway, late 18th century in Sweden).
Although officially Christian since the 18th century, the Sami didn't really take to christianity until the 19th century with Lars Levi Laestadius' revival movement.
An answer to the question in your title would be the 14th/15th century and relate to the Duchy of Lithuania. For an account of the causes see eg. W Urban: The Conversion of Lithuania (1987).
It could be that the question is really about the end of Catholicism is Northern Europe. If so my answer is this:

Columbia Law School recently played host to several alumni who have found early success in the fields of intellectual property and entertainment law. They spoke to students at a panel hosted by the Kernochan Center for Law, Media & the Arts and the Office of Career Services.
"If you want to practice in what I still think is a glamour field, you have to stand out," said Camille Calman '06, an associate at Debevoise & Plimpton. "You have to make people understand this is something you're really interested in and not just that you want to go to movie premieres." Meanwhile, Ben McLean '03, senior counsel for Rainbow Media, cautioned students to be realistic in their expectations right out of law school. The perfect job is hard to find, he said, and it might serve students well to take a more general position at a law firm and seek out projects related to media and entertainment law.

text: Hey this is my newest tutorial. Second one and I will continue on. This one is of the Team Dai-Gurren Skull/logo. Dai-Gurren is from a popular anime show known as Gurren Lagann. You can see this skull almost anywhere on the robots and also nearing the middle of the series you can find it located on the back of Simone's cape. It is also on Bro's flag at his memorial. I put this in the skull section because it also fits in there along with anime. Good luck.

Like having a dream....such beauty.
"This picture speaks of a thousand or more words at a time."
I hope this horse is wild, even if its unlikely... It certainly looks fit for legends, and I'm glad such creatures are still out there.
Associated with Kaii Higashiyama's painting, the Forest & White Horse
it looks like a unicorn
Almost other-worldly
comme un conte de fées
So peaceful,the white horse quietly waiting for the story to begin.Poetic and beautiful.
Where is Lancelot? This looks like it could be the horse from any fairy tale!
YES a fairy tail quality sooo special
He looks like a unicorn :)
fantastic shot. how about: try to convert to b+w, get the horse to 2/3 of the picture (away from the center), perhaps add a little vignetting? it should get even more convincing.
This would make a great puzzle! Nerve wracking!
I can hear the silence
The image has a fairy tail quality
Beautiful! I thought it was a unicorn, too!
Pretty sure that's a unicorn.
Reminds me of Gandalf's horse.
Linda foto :)
A la luz de la luna y las estrellas bajo esa eterna noche interminable mis mejillas se mojaban por las lagrimas del dolor ,cuanto dolor irreparable hay en este mundo,cuantas personas estan sufriendo las personas de seres queridos injustamente por el hambre,las guerras,la falta de empleo y yo oigo share,share,quien soy yo ?me pregunto yo tengo esa capacidad?no lo creo y vuelvo a oir share share,bueno quiza por intentarlo no pasa nada,veremos que pasa si me da un ser superior el metodo para salvar lo que me piden.amen.

I Love This Shot
Looks like a unicorn ;)
Hi Jessica Harris, I love your comment. that is so smart, yesssssssssss, it's a unicorn.
Very Nice !
The eye is really strong even though it appears so small!
Nice capture!
surreal but so real
Great !!!
wooooaahhh AWESOME ^.^
Olé por la bellísima foto.
Marisela Murcia Navarro — The 'riderless horse' scene from Cervantes 'Man of La Mancha' where Quixote leaps with his camera from the devil's back to photograph the phenomenon of man riding horse, only today Quixote has forgotten his chariot, lance and photo satchel, so there is no picture to take. Gary Conn
Not only was this shot a gift, but, it was a magical moment for the photographer. As a photographer I love those moments!!
That's not a horse. It's a unicorn.
This makes me think of the movie Legend.
Thank you all for sharing your feelings, I'm glad to have awakened in you as magical moments. A hug * m
enchanted !
Having had this scene handed to her as a gift,was truly that. Taking the wonderous picture is all kudos to her. I love the white horse, seemingly waiting there to have its picture taken among the almost white trees! What a beautiful calm shot, that wants nothing more, asks nothing more. j.e.s.
Naturelly adopt it.. fine tone
Enchanting! Thanks for sharing.
An Unicorn! :)
Great, it reallly is a gift of mother nature.
@Andreas Bracke By editing the picture you would take away some of its purity. Of course, I have no way of knowing if it has been edited or not, but I would think that a picture is most convincing when presented as it is.
@Maria Eva Berges Gregorio Linda poesia. Desculpe, eu não falo español, mais simplesmente amei o seu parágrapho. Com um pouco de sorte, voce me entende. Tenha um bom dia!

I have been recently assigned the task of taking interviews in my company. I have been taking interviews of developers and engineers with atleast 5-6 years of experience.
One of my favorite question is to ask whether they have used any kind of patterns...and the default answer has always been "Singleton Pattern"
Since it is the most simple pattern, I always end up asking them to write a code for it, and only 1-2 out of 5 end up getting it right, but get confused when I start asking about thread safety, double-checked locking issues and etc..
My questions are:
- Is it fair on my part to expect a person with 5-6+ years of experience to know how to write a Singleton pattern?
- Is it fair on my part to judge a person upon their ability to code a Singleton class?
EDIT: Some clarifications.
- When I ask if they know anything about design patterns, I would like to know what kind of GoF patterns they have used, why they have used and how they have used them. And with 5-6 years of development experience, I would expect a person to know about GoF patterns...correct?
- The first answer which everyone say when I ask about patterns is "I have used and written Singleton Classes". Singletons are at the cusp of being declared an anti-pattern...with asking them to write about it, I try to gauge 1. If they can code, 2. If they can code what they claim they could code, 3. Tell me the problems with Singleton...
Do I sound more reasonable now? :)

Does computer interfacing electric energy meters exist? With possibilities to get/log current power usage and monthly used kilowatt hours. With ethernet/rs232 etc interface. I am looking for this for European current 3phase, 230V. Looking for affordable options.
Google Power Meter is one good place to start: AlertMe makes a product for the UK market specifically.
It's also possible to DIY. For 3 phase power, you'd need 3 current transformers, and then something to interface them to (an arduino may fit the bill). Note, be sure you actually have 3-phase: most residential buildings use split-phase (in which case you only need 2 transformers). On top of the hardware, you'd have to write all the software for logging and viewing the data, or interface into the Google Powermeter API.
There's several projects to look at as well:
You should check KWh meters that support the S0 interface that provides a pulse output. I have something like this http://www.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/125000-149999/125363-an-01-ml-WechselstrZaeh_Geco32_230V32A_LCD_de_en_fr.pdf
i think this one is as well able to do it http://www.iskra-mis.si/catalogue/20071212152244/20071212153441/2008041510314899/
after that you should just follow these steps with arduino http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/EEM12L-32AKWhMonitoring
I did it using a data logger shield and then exporting it to excel.

I have followed the instructions on SBT's documentation for setting up test configurations. I have three test configurations Test, IntegrationTest, and AcceptanceTest. So my src directory looks like this:
- src/
- acceptance/
- scala/
- it/
- scala/
- test/
- scala/
- acceptance/
My question is, how can I configure SBT to allow sharing of classes between these configurations? Example: I have a class in the "it" configuration for simplifying database setup and tear down. One of my acceptance tests in the "acceptance" configuration could make use of this class. How do I make that "it" class available to the test in "acceptance"
Many thanks in advance.

Cron, at
The cron and at utilities help automate processes on a Linux system. You can set up automatic backups or even wake up in the morning with a track from your MP3 collection.
In Linux, there is no need to take notes as reminders of tasks you need to perform in the future. The at program lets you schedule tasks right now, and cron handles recurring jobs.
A daemon runs in the background to ensure the tasks are performed according to the schedule. The daemon checks for new jobs once a minute. The daemon for at is named atd, and the cron daemon is called cron(d).
