Global Affairs Canada
The FIRABioT Project has been launched by WOAH, with support from Global Affairs Canada, to develop an organisation-wide sustainable emergency management system allowing it to respond to events linked to deliberate or accidental releases of biological pathogens in an agile and efficient manner, incorporate the most appropriate technical response to an emergency and ensuring business continuity. More importantly for the African region is that WOAH will also implement targeted activities to support Members in Africa which will also support the implementation of Signature Initiative to Mitigate Biological Threats in Africa, an initiative of the Global Partnership to Prevent the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destructions.
The project is to be implemented in nine countries which responded positively to a call for Expression of Interest including Algeria, Congo (Republic), Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Morocco, Namibia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.
These countries, working with WOAH and partner institutions during an inception workshop, proposed strategic activities that will be implemented to address gaps in some or all of the four pillars which include:
1. Emergency Management
2. Disease Intelligence
3. Sustainable Laboratories
4. Veterinary Legislation

An un-named man in Munster has filed a complaint with the police department. And I can almost guarantee that this complaint has never ever been filed before, because it involves guinea pigs getting it on!
Yes, this man lives next to a college that is studying the mating habits of guinea pigs and so they have hundreds of the little critters in a cage. And the man says that he can’t even sleep at night because the guinea pig love fest is too loud. And get this…a judge agreed with him and ordered the guinea pig swap meet be moved away from the home.

A new international trade route began last week when the MSC Paris (IMO 9301483) dropped off eight containers of electronics, cleaning supplies, iron and firefighting equipment were unloaded in the port of Haifa, Israel, having been transported from Jebel Ali in Dubai in the UAE.
Israel and the UAE had announced a normalization deal in August.
The trade route is part of a far larger political game, and potential realignment, in the Middle East, with Sunni Muslim nations perceiving a growing regional threat from Shia-dominated Iran. Israel, in the geopolitical sense, is seen by many Sunni nations as a useful ally, albeit one of geopolitical convenience, bonded by a common enemy.
However, the normalization agreement was also grounded in economics and potential business collaborations in investment and technology.
Dubai-based terminal operator DP World was also reported to be exploring the possibility of investing in the port of Haifa. Staff at Israeli carrier ZIM are now looking at adding UAE calls to its global offering.
Israeli officials have estimated bilateral trade could reach as much as $4bn a year, with nearly all of that trade travelling by sea.
Eshel Armony, chairman of the board at Haifa Port, said that “this is a new era in the Middle East, and I’m sure this will bring more and more trade. We are going to see this line once a week by MSC and, who knows, later on maybe we’ll have even more. I hope that will happen quickly.”
MSC Paris is part of MSC’s Indus Express service, which originates in the UAE and calls at Indian ports, the Mediterranean and the US.
2006-built, Liberia-flagged, 89,941 gt MSC Paris is owned by Parrot Ltd care of manager Hammonia Reederei GmbH of Hamburg, Germany. It is entered with Steamship Mutual (European Syndicate) on behalf of Parrot Ltd.

Greece leads in youth unemployment with 53.8%, while it occupies the second place after Spain in unemployment in all age groups. According to EUROSTAT, unemployment in Greece reached 23.1% in May 2012, recording an increase of 6.3% compared with May 2011.
This is the second highest rate within the European Union after Spain, which tops the list of 27 member-states with 25.1% (July data). The lowest unemployment rates are in Austria (4.5%), The Netherlands (5.3%), Germany and Luxembourg (each 5.5%).
In July, unemployment reached 11.3% among the euro zone member-states and 10.4% among the EU 10.4%.
Among the youth aged 15-25 years old unemploymentis at 53.7% in Greece and 51.3% in Spain.
I do not know about Spain, but even those Greek youth that are lucky enough to get a job, what they mostly get is part-time for 200-250 euro per month and thus without social security and medical insurance. Furthermore, part-timers have no right to jobless allowance or other labour rights whatsoever.
Hire, Pay Peanuts and Kick Out. Nice perspective for the country’s youth. No wonder many kiss Goodbye their parents and friends and leave the country.

Sweden's Blixt carded a bogey-free, 6-under 64 on Friday. While he's known as one of the game's best putters, Blixt torched Colonial Country Club with his irons, gaining over four strokes through approach shots to sit at 9-under par after 36 holes.
Finau followed his 64 from Thursday with a 68 in Round 2. He's listed as the favorite to win what would be his second career PGA Tour event, according to Bodog.
Na fired a day-low 62 to climb up the leaderboard. The 8-under performance was one shot off his record-tying round he carded last year en route to a T-4 result.
Rory Sabbatini holds down the fourth spot at 6-under.
Jordan Spieth headlines a group of five players tied at 5-under. Spieth rode a hot putter for the second straight day to an even-par round. He drained two birdie putts from over 46 feet but five second-round bogeys prevented him from picking up any ground on the leaders.
Difficult scoring conditions in the Fort Worth area sent a number of world-class players home early. Rickie Fowler (3-over), Xander Schauffele (3-over), Bryson DeChambeau (4-over), and Jon Rahm (6-over) all failed to make the 2-over cut.
To make matters worse for tournament organizers, Paul Casey withdrew prior to the second round due to illness.

- Babies are more vulnerable to health problems often associated with the chemicals found in conventional cotton.
- Even after washing, traces of chemicals that are harmful to skin and health still remain in conventional cotton clothing.
- We protect our children in so many ways, it only makes sense to start with what we put next to their skin.
Good for Your Health
- It is cultivated without the use of harmful toxins or synthetic fertilizers.
- The World Health Organization has determined that three of the most hazardous insecticides to human health rank in the top ten most commonly used in cotton production.
- One pound of raw cotton (about the amount in a t-shirt) takes almost one-third of a pound of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers to grow.
Good for the Environment
- Organic cotton is grown using biodynamic farming and natural methods such as composting.
- Organic agriculture uses less water, does not rely on expensive fertilizers and pe sticides, and helps sequester carbon in the soil.
- Organic farming prevents soil erosion, protects air and water quality for plants and animals, and preserves biodiversity through crop rotation.
Good for Our Global Community
- Strict certification guidelines ensure that organic cotton provides a fair livelihood for people in disadvantaged communities.
- Organic cotton doesn't use chemicals that often seep into ground water, making it toxic for humans and animals.

WHERWELL with WESTOVER
Werewelle, Warwelle (xi cent.); Hwerewelle, Wharewell, Hwherewelle, Thwerewelle (xiii-xiv cent.); Whorwell, Worwell (xvi cent.); Horwell (xvi-xvii cent.); Whorwell (xvii cent.); Harwell, Whirwell (xviii cent.).
The parish of Wherwell is divided from Longparish by the old Roman road which ran through the heart of Harewood Forest from Winchester to Cirencester. Along the eastern and south-eastern boundary flows the Test, the vicinity of which is liable to floods. The mean height varies in different parts of the parish from 200 ft. to 300 ft. The soil is part light gravel, part heavy gravel and part white loam. The subsoil is chalk and there are several chalk pits. The chief crops are wheat, barley, oats, turnips and grass. The total area of the parish is 3,633 acres, comprising 2,111½ acres of arable land, 701 acres of permanent grass and 511 acres of woods and plantations. (fn. 1) Some 34 acres are covered by water. To the north the parish runs wedgewise through the heart of Harewood Forest and includes Wismore Copse, Popple Hill Copse, Hartway Copse, Park Brow Copse and Hassock Copse. There is a station at Wherwell on the Hurstbourne and Fullerton branch of the London and South Western Railway, and at Fullerton is the junction of that and the Andover and Redbridge branches. The village is situated mainly between the railway line and the most northern stream of the Test, beyond which, and bridging one of the streams, is Wherwell Priory. The tithing of Fullerton lies 1½ miles to the southwest on the River Anton. Westover is 2 miles due west of Wherwell, Mount Pleasant a quarter of a mile to the north and Dublin Farm half a mile to the north-east. At the south-west extremity of the parish, where it becomes a narrow strip between Longstock and Goodworth Clatford, are Rowberry and Nettlebank Copses.
The road from Andover to Winchester passes through the village and a branch of the same road passes through Fullerton. From Fullerton a road runs north-west past Redrice Park and through Abbotts Ann, crossing that from Andover to Stockbridge just south of Westover.
Among place-names in Wherwell found in early documents are: 'La Whire,' 'La Burstelade,' 'Waddune,' 'La Stapele,' 'La Flodweye,' 'La Cline,' 'Foracre,' 'Sotingor,' 'La Medscherde.' (fn. 2)
When in 1002 Ethelred confirmed his mother's (fn. 3) foundation of Wherwell Abbey the property of that house in the vicinity of WHERWELL consisted of 70 mansae, (fn. 4) and in Domesday Book it is said to hold the whole vill in which the abbey stands. (fn. 5) In 1207 John granted the community certain liberties, and the right of an annual fair at Wherwell on the day of the dedication of the church, the day before and the two days following, provided it should not harm the neighbouring fairs, (fn. 6) and in 1215 a letter to that end was directed to the sheriff. (fn. 7) The right of holding a market every Wednesday at her manor of Wherwell was granted to the abbess in 1267, (fn. 8) but a few months later she was attached for not appearing to answer a charge of holding a market to the hurt of the king's free market at Basingstoke. (fn. 9) In 1331 the community had a grant of free warren over its demesnes of Wherwell and elsewhere, (fn. 10) which was confirmed in 1378. (fn. 11) In 1291 the manor was worth £59 13s. 6d., (fn. 12) and it continued in possession of the monastery until the Dissolution.
Thomas West ninth Lord De La Warr was not only in the royal favour for his furtherance of the divorce, but he was also lord of five Sussex manors which Henry wished for his own, and proposed to take in exchange for other lands. Accordingly, in November 1539, Lord De La Warr wrote to Cromwell urging him to use his influence to get him the Wherwell estates.
'I would gladly have the said nunnery because it stands wholesomely, in the country where I was born, and my wife has no house to dwell in if I should die before her; and this is but a reasonable house as I hear say. I beg your favour that I may obtain the said abbey before the surveyors of the same come to the king, for fear he should grant it to another. Trusting if I get it, that the king will discharge all leases and fees going out of it, as I shall do to his grace in Halfnakyd.' (fn. 13)
A few days later Wherwell was surrendered. (fn. 14) Cromwell had more than once noted John Kingsmill as a candidate for the property, (fn. 15) but in the following March the site of the monastery, the manor and advowson, six manors adjacent (fn. 16) and other neighbouring property of the dissolved house were granted to Lord De La Warr for the rent of £137 3s. 8d. and the coveted Sussex lands. (fn. 17) In 1544 the new lord of Wherwell bought the lead and bells of the monastery for £100. (fn. 18) On his death without issue in 1554 the baronies of De La Warr and West fell in abeyance between the daughters of Sir Owen West, his brother of the half-blood. During his lifetime he had taken his nephew William son of Sir George West of Warbleton into his house and adopted him as his heir. William, however, too eager for his inheritance, was discovered to be scheming to poison his uncle, and in 1549 he was deprived of all rights to honours and estates by Act of Parliament. (fn. 19) In 1570, however, he became Lord De La Warr by a new creation and died in 1595 seised of the family manors. (fn. 20) His son obtained the precedency of the ancient barony.
In 1605 because of nonpayment of a bond given on the premises to Elizabeth by William the newly created Lord De La Warr all these estates in Wherwell Hundred were seized into the hands of the Crown and, with certain exceptions, granted to Sir John Crofts till the sum should be paid. (fn. 21) The exceptions were all trees, wood, underwood, mines and quarries, together with the advowson of the prebend or rectory of Wherwell and all tithes and profits, which were granted in 1625 to Sir Thomas Edmonds, treasurer of the royal household. (fn. 22)
In 1616 Thomas West, third baron, had a licence to sell these manors, (fn. 23) which none the less remained in his descendants' hands until 1695. Fourteen years later Cecily Dowager Lady De La Warr was discharged £278 2s. 6d. arrears of rent for the site of the monastery of Wherwell. (fn. 24) During the Civil War there was a good deal of fighting in this part of the shire; and in 1645 Lord De La Warr was petitioning the House of Lords for protection. His estate in the county of Southampton, he complained, had sustained much damage by the quartering of both armies upon his tenants and the cutting down of his woods by the soldiers; and now it was intended to make his house at Wherwell into a garrison contrary to the order for the protection of peers' houses. This was likely to spoil the house and to be of little advantage to the State by reason of the hills which adjoined it. (fn. 25)
In 1695 John (West) sixth Lord De La Warr sold those Hampshire lands which his ancestors had had from Henry VIII to Edmond Boulter of London. (fn. 26) Edmond Boulter died in February 1709 possessed of estates in several shires. By his will proved in the following March he left his manors in Wherwell and Goodworth Clatford—he had already disposed of the neighbouring manors—to his nephew John Fryer, 'pewterer in the parish of St. Bennet Gracechurch, in the City of London.' (fn. 27) The new lord of Wherwell, an eminent City merchant and an alderman, was created a baronet in 1714. Dying in 1726 without surviving male issue, he bequeathed his Hampshire manors equally among his three daughters, Bithiah Brassey, Susannah Fryer and Delicia Fryer. (fn. 28) On the death of Susannah in October 1731 (fn. 29) her inheritance passed to her sister of the whole blood, Bithiah wife of Nathaniel Brassey of Lombard Street. In 1742 (fn. 30) Delicia Fryer, the youngest co-heir, married Joshua Iremonger, who thus became lord of one-third part of the manors of Wherwell and Goodworth Clatford. He purchased the other two-thirds from Nathaniel Brassey in February 1743, (fn. 31) so reuniting the property, which is now in the possession of his descendant, Mr. William Henry Iremonger.
By the custom of the manor of Wherwell copyhold lands might be granted for three lives in possession or for one life in possession and two in reversion and no more. (fn. 32)
There were three mills worth 27s. 6d. at Wherwell at the time of the Domesday Survey. (fn. 33) Among the good deeds of the Abbess Eufemia (1226–57) enumerated in the cartulary was the building of 'a new mill, some distance from the hall,' constructed 'with great care, in order that more work than formerly might be done therein for the service of the house.' (fn. 34)
At the present time there is a mill close by the church and another at Fullerton. In 1730 a water grist-mill with its appurtenances, in Wherwell, was the object of a conveyance between George Luke and William Hunt. (fn. 35)
WESTOVER is not mentioned as a separate manor in Domesday, nor does it occur in 1228 among the possessions of Wherwell Abbey in the privilegium of Gregory IX. (fn. 36) It was one of the manors, however, granted to Thomas West Lord De La Warr by Henry VIII, from the property of the dissolved monastery.
After the Wests parted with the property it again disappears. It is named as a manor in the indenture made on the sale of the Wherwell property by Lord De La Warr to Edmond Boulter in 1695, (fn. 37) but there seems to be no record of a subsequent sale. Certainly it had not been sold in 1706, when, in an indenture drawn up for creating new trustees of this property, the manors already disposed of are enumerated. (fn. 38) Boulter died early in 1709 and there is no mention of Westover in his will, but he bequeathed all his manors in Wherwell and Goodworth Clatford to his nephew John Fryer. (fn. 39) It is probable, therefore, that it became merged in Wherwell about this date, and has continued to descend with that manor.
In 1773 Robert Dowling and others assigned to Joshua Iremonger all manner of tithes in Westover, and other premises, for a term of three lives. (fn. 40)
At the time of the Survey the manor of FULLERTON was held by Hyde Abbey, (fn. 41) to which, as the 'vill of Wherwell,' it had been bequeathed by King Edred, who died in 955. (fn. 42) According to Thomas Rudborne, who wrote in the 15th century, Wherwell was among the lands escheated from Hyde by William the Conqueror, but this statement is, of course, proved false by the Domesday entry. (fn. 43) At the taxation of Pope Nicholas, Fullerton and the neighbouring manor of Leckford, wherewith it is ever to be found coupled, were valued among the temporalities of Hyde Abbey at £15 17s. 3d. (fn. 44) In the following century the abbey obtained licence from Adam of Orlton, Bishop of Winchester (l333–45), to celebrate divine service in the oratory of the manor of Fullerton. (fn. 45) In 1388, since it was found by inquisition that this manor with that of Abbotts Ann and other premises had from time immemorial belonged to the convent separately from the abbot's portion, the king granted that such premises should be exempt from seizure in times of voidance, saving only the advowsons to the Crown. (fn. 46)
Fullerton remained abbey land until the Dissolution. In 1541 Augustine de Augustinis, a Venetian and physician to the king, had a life grant of the manor and tithes of hay in Fullerton, together with other lands taken from religious houses, in lieu of certain annuities. (fn. 47) In July 1545 he was granted in fee the reversion of these lands and rights, (fn. 48) but in the following September he and his wife Agnes had a licence to alienate Fullerton and other premises to Lord Chancellor Wriothesley. (fn. 49) However, in 1549 the manor was conveyed to John Mill and John his youngest son by Thomas Pace, John Capleyn and Thomas Goddarde, a merchant of Southampton, to be held of the king in chief by the service of one-fortieth part of a knight's fee and a rent of 29s. 8d. (fn. 50) This John Mill the elder, a cadet of the Mills of Greatham (co. Sussex), died in 1551, (fn. 51) and was duly succeeded by John the younger, whose marriage with Catherine Lewkenor daughter and co-heir of Sir Roger Lewkenor brought him Camois Court, in Sussex. His grandson John Mill, son of Lewkenor Mill, was created a baronet in 1619 and died in 1648, when the manor of Fullerton descended to Thomas Mill, his second son and uncle of the second baronet. (fn. 52) Exactly when the Mills parted with the manor has not been ascertained, but by 1717 it was in the hands of John Chetwynd, (fn. 53) who four years later conveyed it to his brother Walter Viscount Chetwynd of Bearhaven and Edward Carteret. (fn. 54) This John Chetwynd, who succeeded as second viscount in 1736, married Hester only daughter and heir of Richard Kent of the Close, Salisbury and Katherine his wife. It seems that this match brought him Fullerton; for when returned as M.P. for Stockbridge in 1727 he was described 'as of Fullerton' (fn. 55) and in an indenture of 1730 (fn. 56) another of two years earlier is quoted by which trustees were created of this manor and all other premises late of Hester Chetwynd and now of John Chetwynd in Fullerton and Wherwell. In 1730 John Chetwynd sold the manor and its appurtenances to William Heathcote of Hursley (co. Hants), (fn. 57) created a baronet in 1733. In 1825 Sir William Heathcote, fifth baronet, was vouched as warranty in a recovery between Samuel Foster and George Frere. (fn. 58) The Heathcote property was sold in 1892 to Mr. William Cory, the present lord of the manor. (fn. 59)
During the episcopate of William Edendon (1346–66) licence was granted to Isabel Cormeilles to celebrate divine service in the oratory of the house called TALLEMACHE in the vill (villula) of Wherwell. (fn. 60)
The church of ST. PETER AND HOLY CROSS consists of a chancel 26 ft. 6 in. by 16 ft., nave 49 ft. 3 in. by 18 ft. 8 in., with north and south aisles 11 ft. wide, north vestries, timber south porch, and a bellturret over the west end of the nave.
The building is entirely modern and was erected on the site of an old church in 1856. Two prints in the choir vestry show what this church was like in 1830. It then consisted of a nave and north aisle continued into chancel and north chapel. Over the west end of the aisle was a low wooden bell-turret, and on the south of the nave there was a rough timber porch. All the windows of the nave had cinquefoiled lights with flat heads. The west window of the aisle had three cinquefoiled lights and a cinquefoiled label. To the south of this was a small window of two plain pointed lights. Three angle buttresses show, one in the centre of the east wall and two on the south wall.
In the churchyard are several old stones coming either from the earlier church or else from Wherwell Priory, which was situated close by on the south side. At the west end of the church are a stone coffin without a lid, a mullion of a 13th-century window, and half of a flat four-centred arch, c. 1540, with Renaissance ornament and a defaced shield in the spandrel.
Against the vicarage wall at the east end of the churchyard is an altar tomb to Sir Owen West of good early Renaissance detail, undergoing a slow destruction by weather and ivy. The inscription in two cartouches reads in the first, 'Of yowre charite pray for the soolles off Syr Owen Weste Knyte and Mary his wiffe who died' | in the second, 'the which died the 18 day of July anno domini 1551.' On either side are shields, one often quarters, thus: (1) a fesse dancetty; (2) crusilly fitchy a lion; (3) per saltire four martlets; (4) a bend engrailed; (5) barry and a chief paly and paly an escutcheon with three piles; (6) as (2); (7) three lions' faces jessant de lis; (8) as (5); (9) as (3); (10) as (4). The second has 1, 2, 6 and 7, and coat one; a crescent for difference on both. Near this is a modern brick recess in which is placed the recumbent figure of a nun. The arch of this recess is apparently of early 14th-century date and is of stone with eight foils and rests on short attached shafts with moulded capitals and bases.
Built into this same wall is a stone with two shallow arched recesses of late 13th-century date, containing two groups of figures, one showing the Harrowing of Hell and the other, much damaged, two figures, the smaller with hands raised in fear or astonishment.
Near this stone is another old one carved with a four-leafed flower. Another stone in this wall represents an angel and a four-leafed flower.
There are several loose stones of various dates, one a 13th-century corbel made from the shaft of a Saxon cross, with interlacing patterns on two sides, and two others form apparently bases of niches or the like of 15th-century date, bearing shields inscribed 'Thos. be[..]ow' and 'Iha[..]e be[..]ow,' perhaps for Johannae, with a Tudor rose between.
There is also a small piece of a. stone coffin slab on which part of a marginal inscription remains: dictus fructus and eterne, amen, and in the gable of the vicarage stable is inserted a 14th-century gable cross.
The bell-turret contains five bells, the treble being by Warner, 1858, and the other four by William and Robert Cor, 1707.
The plate consists of a silver chalice and paten (probably of local make) of circa 1650, given by Richard Finch Humphrey, another silver paten of 1662, (fn. 61) two glass cruets, a plated flagon and two plated alms plates.
The registers are bound up in three books, the first containing baptisms, marriages and burials mixed from 1634 to 1708. The second book contains mixed entries from 1708 to 1742 and then baptisms from 1782 to 1813, marriages 1783 to 1814, and burials 1777 to 1813. There is also a brief in this book dated 1724. A third book, which really belongs in the middle of the second, contains mixed entries from 1742 to 1771.
The Abbess and convent of Wherwell presented to the prebend of Wherwell until the Dissolution, when the advowson was granted to Lord De La Warr, (fn. 62) Richard Parkhurst, the resigning rector and prebendary at that time, receiving an annuity of £30. (fn. 63) In February 1545 a second grant of the advowson was, by an error, made to one John Eyer, (fn. 64) who in the following August had his purchase money returned to him by a decree of the Court of Augmentations. (fn. 65)
When he sold the manor to Edmond Boulter in 1695, John sixth Lord De La Warr sold also the advowson of the prebend of Wherwell, (fn. 66) which was vested in the lords of the manor until its suppression.
At the beginning of the 17th century, when Lord De La Warr's Hampshire estates were forfeited to the Crown, the advowson of the prebend or rectory of Wherwell with all tithes and profits was granted to Sir Thomas Edmonds, treasurer of the royal household. (fn. 67)
Matthew Nicholas, Secretary Nicholas's brother, afterwards Dean of St. Paul's, was chosen prebendal rector of Wherwell in 1637. There seems to have been some dispute as to his election, for immediately after his induction he wrote to his brother Edward that there remained nothing else to be done (if the young Lady De La Warr did not prosecute her pretended title) than to thank his noble patron; that the old Lady De La Warr had withdrawn her caveat and the young lady sent in no man at the day appointed by the bishop to show her title, whereupon the bishop had taken a bond of £200 of the writer to save him harmless and had given him institution. (fn. 68) In 1686 John West, although a layman, was presented to the prebend by Lord De La Warr, and the king granted a dispensation for his institution and induction. (fn. 69)
In 1852 the prebend of Wherwell was declared ar ecclesiastical rectory without cure of souls, and in 1857 the prebendary, the Rev. Thomas Lascelles Iremonger, resigning, it was suppressed. (fn. 70) Since that date the vicarage has been in the gift of the lords of the manor.
There is a Wesleyan chapel in the parish, erected in 1846, and a Primitive Methodist chapel, erected in 1887.
In 1691, as appears from a stone tablet in the church, Philadelphia Whitehead purchased from John Lord De La Warr 12s. a year for ever out of the yearly rent of the White Lion Inn to be paid to twelve old men and women at Christmas. The annuity is paid by Mr. W. H. Iremonger, the owner, and duly applied.

Well, I mentioned I’d attach a bluetooth keyboard to the iPad to try it out and that’s exactly what I did. The results are better than with the regular keyboard but still not ideal.
Of course typing with a real keyboard is going to feel great. The problem is that it’s just field typing. On most of the apps, tabs don’t work to move from field to field, and the PageUp/PageDown keys on the small apple bluetooth keyboard (Fn and Up/Down) are not wired in at all.
All the media function keys, however (from the brightness controls of F1&2 to the media and volume controls on F7 through F12) work fine. Which underscores the idea that this is a media consumption device more than a production device.

Like any resource, pastures respond to management. Grazing offers economic benefits as compared to producing and feeding stored forages as livestock harvest the forage directly. Capture the benefits of grazing and set yourself up for success by using the 4-Rs to manage pastures. We typically hear of the 4-Rs in relationship to water quality and fertilizer management, but pasture management has its own set of 4-Rs. Those 4-Rs stand for the grazing principles of Right beginning grazing height, Remove/Reduce seed heads, Residual leaf area and Rest period.
During the spring flush, the goal is to remove only the top couple of inches of the plant, and then quickly move on. Do not begin to graze pastures too soon. There is a positive correlation between pasture plant height, density, and livestock intake. Animal intake is directly correlated with animal performance. The goal is to make sure that grazing livestock get a full mouthful of forage with every bite they take.… Continue readingRead More »

To never feel apart,
constant beating in my HEART.

THE DAGON-IDOL OF “FREEWILL” AND HUMAN MERIT BATTERED DOWN BY THE DOCTRINE OF PREDESTINATION
Divine grace has done far more than make possible the salvation of sinners: it makes certain the salvation of God’s chosen ones. It not only PROVIDES salvation for them, it BRINGS salvation to them; and it does so in such a way that its honours are not shared by the creature.
The Doctrine of Predestination batters down this Dagon-idol of “freewill” and human merits, for it tells us that if we have indeed willed and desired to lay hold of Christ and salvation by Him, then that very will and desire are the effect of God’s eternal purpose and the result of the efficacious workings of His grace, for it is GOD who worketh in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure; and therefore do we glory ONLY IN THE LORD AND ASCRIBE ALL THE PRAISE UNTO HIM.
This writer sought not the Lord, but hated, opposed, and endeavoured to banish Him from his thoughts; but the Lord sought him, smote him to the ground (like Saul of Tarsus), subdued his vile rebellion, and made him willing in the day of His power. That is Grace indeed—sovereign, amazing, triumphant grace.

China’s new aircraft carrier is 315 meters long and 75 meters wide, and its deck is as large as 3 football fields.
The Chinese Navy and China Shipbuilding is now carrying out system debugging and fitting its first domestically-produced aircraft carrier in Dalian, northeastern China’s Liaoning province, Chinese TV stations reported Saturday, according to a report in People’s Daily.
The new aircraft carrier, designated Type 001A has a similar displacement to its predecessor the Liaoning, with thousands of cabins inside of its body, the report said.
After three years of research and development, the country finally succeeded in making a special kind of steel that is needed for the manufacturing of the aircraft carrier. It is so strong that an aircraft landing on it will not scratch it.
In addition to the qualified materials, China has trained 2,400 professional welders who work 24 hour shifts in the narrow cabins to produce the ship.
The bridge of aircraft carrier, where the command tower, flight control office, operations room, and radars are located is said to be smaller than that of the first aircraft carrier the Liaoning, the new one is smaller. The smaller size not only provides a clearer layout, but also provides more space for aircraft aboard the ship.
Previous reports said that the carrier had been equipped with a radar mast and that the sea-trails would be conducted ahead of schedule.

Type：Studded Winter Tyre
Pattern：The most outstanding feature of this pattern is grip. We have invented a special gum which is used especially for snow tires to improve flexibility and mobility without weakening grip. On the tread, there are numerous sipes distributed evenly to increase traction for driving safety. Snow in the sipes will be melted by the heat generated from the tire. In practice, it significantly prevents loss of control and shortens braking distance on snowy roads.

He is only 5 years old
This is the story of Tommy
And his story needs to be told
Tommy went to school
Like any other child
He had many friends
And he always seemed to smile
He didn't do his homework sometimes
But the teachers thought
He was a good boy,
Tommy was a sweet little kid
He was a parent's greatest joy
One thing about Tommy
That the teachers didn't understand
Was he would come to school
With bruises on his arms and legs
The teachers would pull him aside
And ask him what was wrong
Tommy would just say
It was falling from playing
Too much kick-ball...
When Tommy got home from school each day
He would run to his room
So his mommmy wouldn't beat him black and blue
His mommy was an addict
Since his daddy left,
Nothing has been right
So Tommy's mommy beats him
Every hit with hate and spite
Tommy just sits in his room sometimes
Wishing his daddy would come home
Maybe then his mommy will love him
And not hit him anymore
Tommy prays for the better and
Every night he says his prayers

"I guess they were tired too…" He said as he walked up the stairs and walked down the hallway.

"Rosa, I told you that you can just call me Serina!" The older woman said, looking at Rosa through the reflection of the small mirror.

I went into town with my friends one day, we were looking in the shops and buying stuff. Me and one of my friends saw a game shop and went in it, only us two though, none of the others were interested in games.
My friend saw the Nintendo games and called me over to have a look at them.
Then I saw a game on special offer, it was second hand but that didn't matter. It was Pokemon HeartGold, my friend had already got HeartGold, but I hadn't, so I bought it.
It was weird how it was only £1, but I soon got that out of my mind.
When I arrived home from shopping with my friends, I quickly grabbed my Nintendo and took SoulSilver out the game cartridge and slotted HeartGold in. The little scene played and brought me to the start menu. The person who had originally played this had a play time of 0:30 minutes and was a male and called DEATH.

as tears come out from my eyes.
Soon I'll be free.
Soon I will die.
Memories come back
and they keep asking me 'why?'
'Why would you do this?
You didn't have to die.'
My thoughts start to race,
as pain intensifies.
The young ones go first,
the young ones will die.
I breathe in faint breaths,
and still stare at the sky.
My death is the truth,
my life was a lie.
I feel myself fade,
and now close my eyes.
No more of that loner girl
who sat alone and cried.
I breathe my last breath
and conclude my suicide.
My feelings are gone,
I don't need to cry.
I've now left it all,
and this is Goodbye
Kanashii...ohayou... o-oh I'm sorry, I assume you must speak english? Gomen... I am from Japan, my name is Taisetsu and I'm a Gardevoir. Many years ago in this small village I moved to, some very interesting things happened. I'm sorry I've gone ahead again...Kanashii3 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
I'm sure you've heard of Kanashii?
She was only a young Mew when I found her floating in a bubble right below the surface of a lake. The lake was inside of a crystalline cave where all colours of crystal could be found.
It was beautiful inside that cave.
The day I went into the cave and saw Kanashii below the surface was only the beginning. Once I had pulled the bubble from the water and it had popped, I picked up the tiny pokemon inside.
At the time I did not know such pokemon existed, and so I brought the tiny being to our village.
Immediately the villagers told me to put the pokemon back, saying it would only bring misery, but after the recent loss of my daughter, I couldn't abandon the tiny pokemon to fend for herself.

Li waved at the camera. "Hello."
You were a growing web show sensation on YouTube, hosting a show where you answered any questions people asked you and also did requests. When you had mentioned your boyfriend in one of your episodes, there had been an overwhelming amount of requests for you to bring him on the show. After about two months, you had finally managed to talk him into it...although it wasn't actually that difficult. He had always found it hard to say no to you.
"Today we have a whole bunch of questions," you announced, waving several pieces of paper around, "and we're gonna answer all of them!"
Li's facial expression didn't change. "All of them?"
"Yes, all of them!" you chirped. You leaned against Li as you spoke again. "Li is going to answer the questions too, right love?"

Neji, who was with Choji, replied back, Not yet.
The Sakura Rescue Team was heading towards the Village Hidden-in-sound where Sasukes lair should be hidden. As a five-man cell, the team was divided into two units; the tracking units and the reserve units. Kiba and Akamaru, who were in the tracking units with Naruto and Shikamaru, were taking the scent of both Sakura and Sasuke while Neji, who was with Choji, was the look-out. Team have been going for half an hour, non-stop.
Hey Shikamaru, said Naruto, What the plan when we meet up an enemy?
Thrash him I hope. Kiba added.
Well, Shikamaru said thoughtfully, If were facing a group of them, one of us will act as a decoy while Choji get rid of them in a single strike.
You can count on me, Shikamaru! said Choji through Nejis walkie-talkie.

Taruto gently stroked the back of Pudding's head as she sadly nuzzled into his neck. "Pudding's nana... Is dead... Can Taru-taru *sniff* make Pudding... better?" Tart held her hot head, spilling over with warm, salty, sour tears. "Of course I can." He lifted her head up , put both of his hands on her cheeks, and kissed her, feeling her hot tears fall on his cheeks, making him cry. He never liked it when Pudding cried. She desperately clung to Taruto's shirt like a baby monkey. When that phrase passed through his head, burning tears of frustration spurted from his eyes. Pudding or Hollie? Pudding, with her activity, boldness and silky blonde hair who was a hot kisser? Or Hollie, school beauty, who looks like him, who is a very inexperienced but very suggestive kisser and flirter? He didn't know. One thing was for sure. He definitely was enjoying this kiss.

Citation: Oh, Y., Lee, S., Rioux, R., Singh, P., Jia, M.H., Jia, Y., Mysore, K.S. 2021. Analysis of differentially expressed rice genes reveals the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters as a candidate gene against the sheath blight pathogen, rhizoctonia solani. Rice. https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTOFR-05-21-0035-R.
Interpretive Summary: Sheath blight disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the most devastating diseases of rice worldwide. The US adapted indica rice cultivar Jasmine 85 has been used as a breeding parent for resistance to R. solani however, the molecular mechanisms for resistance are not understood. In this study, we identified 105 differentially expressed genes in Jasmine 85 after infection with R. solani. These induced genes are mainly involved in strengthening cell walls and production and movement of nutrients in response to sheath blight infection. Pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR)-like ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are known to transport molecules inside plant cells. We verified that products of three pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR)-like ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter (OsABC1, OsABC9 and OsABC12) in Jasmine 85 rapidly accumulated to restrict the pathogen. We then sequenced each allele in Jasmine 85 and a susceptible rice variety, Lemont, and developed a gene-specific functional marker for each. The role of one ABC transporter, OsABC9, in resistance to sheath blight was validated using 86 recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross of Jasmine 85 and Lemont. OsABC9 was found at the border of the major sheath blight resistance QTL qShB9-2. Taken together, these findings shed light on the molecular mechanism of sheath blight resistance at early interphase of pathogen infection and should benefit molecular marker-assisted breeding for sheath blight resistance.
Technical Abstract: Sheath blight disease, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) is one of the most devastating diseases of rice worldwide, and genes closely linked to the resistance for sheath blight are not characterized. The US-adapted indica rice cultivar Jasmine 85 was determined to contain several sheath blight resistance QTLs in our previous studies. In the present study, differentially expressed genes were identified from a suppression subtractive cDNA library constructed using RNA isolated 16 h after inoculation of detached leaves of Jasmine 85 with a virulent field isolate of Rhizoctonia solani (RR0102). A total of 159 unique expressed sequences tags were identified, including 105 from rice with enrichment in categories related to cellular response, molecular signaling, and host defense. Combined with our previous gene expression studies using DNA microarray, 27 highly induced genes involved in signal transduction and defense responses were identified within 16 h post inoculation (hpi) with RR0102. Three members of the ABC transporter gene family (OsABC1, OsABC9 and OsABC12) encoding pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR)-like ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters were mapped to different sheath blight resistance QTL and their differential expressions were validated with a time-course experiment following R. solani inoculation. Three high resolution melting (HRM) markers were developed from these ABC gene family members to distinguish alleles in the sheath blight susceptible cultivar, Lemont, and resistant cultivar, Jasmine 85. Correlation of sheath blight resistance to these HRM markers was examined in 86 recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross of Jasmine 85 with Lemont. The OsABC9 gene located in the major sheath blight resistance QTL qShB9-2 showed major contribution (R = 0.34) to sheath blight resistance. These results suggest that the ABC gene on chromosome 9 plays an important role in preventing sheath blight disease in rice.

ATLANTA (AP) -- State transportation officials say they're planning to suspend road work near shopping centers to accommodate Georgians looking to save money during the upcoming tax holiday period.
Officials say construction work will be suspended from Friday night to Saturday night within five miles of shopping centers or major shopping districts throughout the state.
Department Commissioner Keith Golden says the agency is "glad to offer some relief from lane closures as families prepare for school."
GDOT officials say drivers should still exercise caution as heavy traffic is expected throughout the state. Transportation officials say emergency-related lane closures are still possible at any time.

Another day and another set of bomb threats at multiple HBCU’s across the country and even closer to home. Yesterday, schools such as Howard university, Bowie State university, were on alert. Now for the second day in a row more Black Universities were targeted with bomb threats including Morgan State University and Coppin State University.
Other schools such as Mississippi valley State, Alcorn State University, Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, Kentucky State University, Fort Valley State University, and more had to either go on lockdown or postpone classes.
An FBI spokesperson, said “The FBI takes all potential threats seriously, and we regularly work with our law enforcement partners to determine their credibility.”
These threats begin as we kick off Black history month.

HP announces refreshed Spectre 13 featuring 8th gen Intel CPUs and a redesigned chassis
Just when we were thinking ultrabooks couldn't get any thinner, we saw HP debut the Spectre 13 ultrabook models with a thickness of just 10.4 mm — thinner than many tablets out there. Now, HP has once again refreshed their iconic Spectre 13 notebook with the latest Intel 'Kaby Lake-R' CPU and according to HP, the new Spectre 13 takes the crown for being the world's thinnest touchscreen laptop.
HP said that the development of the new Spectre 13 was centered around customer feedback and reviews, and the company claims to have addressed a lot of teething concerns about the previous generation Spectre 13. For one, customers were unhappy with the fact that the notebook had its fans run often. The new Spectre 13 apparently addresses this by incorporating a hybrid thermal design with a thermal sensor. In our own review of the previous Spectre 13, we had voiced concerns about the lower than average battery capacity and a not so loud audio output. The new generation Spectre 13 seems to have addressed these issues with a bigger 43 Wh battery and louder sounding speakers.
The iconic feature of the Spectre series is the thin form factor and HP has stayed true to its goal of retaining this unique selling proposition (USP) of the series. The laptop now features reduced X (308.2 mm from 325 mm) and Y (224.2 mm from 229 mm) dimensions whilst maintaining the same thickness of 10.4 mm (about the thickness of a AAA battery) and weight (1.11 kg). Despite retaining the thickness, the new Spectre 13 features a full size keyboard with 1.3mm of key travel. Build quality has not been given an afterthought, with the ultrabook sporting a CNC aluminium and carbon fiber chassis with Advanced Electro Deposition (AED) coating for 2.5x stronger scratch resistance.
Bezel-less displays are the norm in 2017 and the Spectre 13 sports a 40% thinner top bezel and 65% thinner side bezels compared to the 2016 model. HP also took a dig at the Dell XPS 13, which became renowned for its awkward webcam placement in the bottom bezel. The Spectre 13 seems to sport the webcam where its supposed to be despite being thinner than the XPS 13.
The refreshed HP Spectre 13 features the 8th generation quad core Intel 'Kaby Lake-R' CPU in Core i5 and Core i7 variants. HP claims a performance improvement of over 30% compared to the previous generation. Our tests have shown that the new 8th generation 'Kaby Lake-R' chips show at least a 40% improvement over their 7th generation 'Kaby Lake' counterparts. This could imply that some sort of throttling could have been implemented by HP to keep temperatures under check given the ultra-thin form factor. We will explore this aspect when we get to review the new Spectre 13.
Other specs of the ultrabook include —
- Up to 16 GB LPDDR3 SDRAM
- Intel UHD Graphics 620
- Up to 1 TB PCIe SSD
- Choice of 13.3-inch UHD/FHD touchscreen display with a brightness of 340 nits for UHD and 300 nits for FHD
- 1x USB Type-C 3.1, 2x Thunderbolt 3 and combo audio jack
- Step cell 43 Wh Li-Ion battery with support for Fast Charging
- HP Wide Vision HD IR Camera for Windows Hello based authentication
- Bang & Olufsen audio powering dual speakers with discrete amplifiers
The increased battery capacity coupled with improved power management in the 8th generation chips should see the new Spectre 13 last comfortably through a typical work day with still some charge left. HP claims a battery life of 11.6 hours for models sporting the FHD display and about 7.9 hours for models sporting the UHD display. We will know more about battery life improvements once we get our hands on the ultrabook.
HP said that the new Spectre 13 has advantages over competing notebooks like the Apple Macbook 2017, Microsoft Surface Laptop, and the Dell XPS 13 with respect to having an upgraded processor and choice of a high resolution touch display at more or less the same price point. Speaking of price points, the new Spectre 13 in Dark Ash Silver will retail for US$1,299 and US$1,399 on HP.com for the Core i5 and Core i7 models respectively featuring FHD displays, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD storage. The Core i7 also comes in Ceramic White. Price for the 4K version is not yet known.
Stay tuned for more on the new Spectre 13 as we will be subjecting it to our battery of tests very soon.

The Free Library of Philadelphia is celebrating Halloween on all corners of the city from the South and the North to the Northeast and Center City. Halloween isn’t merely for children to don ninja or superhero attire, nor is it just for re-reading Harry Potter with its apparitions and the very awesome Albus Dumbledore. No, for a select few library staff members, Halloween is a ritual and a way to demonstrate extreme creativity on a shoestring budget.
For the past few years, for one afternoon a year, the Fumo Family Library transforms from a bustling hub of literacy into a creepy carnival or a melodious mire, just to name a few. Upcycling is key. Our special effects superstar is LA, Joseph Torres, a UAarts grad, who converts cardboard boxes sent to the library from book and DVD vendors and leftover props from previous years to create a one of a kind ungodly zombie head, a life-size alligator, or any number of ghastly ghouls.
This year our theme is "Urgent Scare," where zombies run amuck and Dr. Butcher will explain the intricacies of inter-cranial dissections. Guests will discover if they are carriers of the mutant disease and a special app will reveal what they will look like as a zombie! We have crafts and games for the little ones, treats, and costume raffles. So, come if you dare on Wednesday, October 18 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to the Fumo Family Library (2537 South Broad Street).
On Wednesday, October 25, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., join the Torresdale Library (3079 Holme Avenue) as they present "Fairy Tale Fright," based on Grimm’s Fairy Tales. There will be an enchanted forest and creepy castle, among other props. Fairy tales featured will be "Little Red Riding Hood," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Rapunzel." This spooky event is not recommended for kids under 9 years old, as it will feature a fog machine as well as scary mannequins. Spooky costumes are encouraged. Of course, we'll have some Halloween treats... or, will they be tricks?!
Earlier that same day, there will be a Tween Halloween at Independence Branch (18 S. 7th St.) from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., full of horrifically fun games, music, and terrible treats. (Note: this program is not for monsters under 7 years old.)
McPherson Square Library (601 East Indiana Avenue) will celebrate with a Halloween parade in the park on October 27. Participants will begin with a mask-making craft in the library for those children who do not already have costumes. The parade will start at 4:00 p.m. Prizes will be given for best costume, funniest costume, scariest costume, best dancer, and more. Everyone will receive candy!
On Halloween, school-aged children and teens can get dressed up in Thomas F. Donatucci, Sr. Library's (1935 Shunk Street) dungeon (downstairs) for some ghoulish games, freaky fun, and a costume contest! Judging will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m., spooky stories begin at 6:00 p.m. for all ages.
Finally, our Teen Center at Parkway Central Library (1901 Vine Street) will celebrate the holiday on Tuesday, October 31 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This Halloween, Zombie Prom rises from the dead! Come dressed in your best zombie wares to enjoy macbre music and frighteningly (good) food.
