Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Topic: Pruning, Trees
Title: Pruning Trees in Austin, TX
Answered by: Brigid & Larry Larson
QUESTION:I have lots of green growth sprouting on the trunks of mature trees. Should I trim them off?
It depends. You didn't say what kind of mature trees you have.
If the trees are Oaks - - Then the answer is "Not Now!" . The link here is to an earlier Mr Smarty Plants question and references which give you a good overview of the dangers of Oak Wilt and how you can attempt to protect your trees. The short version of this is to prune only in the "depth" of the cold winter, preferably January & February.
Looking farther afield, I found two good and local articles on why you could want to prune a tree. The short version of their advice is " health, cosmetics & safety". The first of these is an article from the city of Round Rock on Pruning Mature Trees, which discusses reasons for pruning. Their basic philosophy is that "Pruning is the most common, yet often unnecessary, tree maintenance procedure." Trees should be pruned for three reasons "safety, health, and aesthetics". Very similar advice is given in a blog from the Austin Tree Experts on "Why to Prune Trees in Austin TX".
So, how does this affect your perception of the mature trees? Assuming they are not Oaks, then an argument could be made that the trunk growth is not very good looking, or that in due time, branches growing there would be unsafe. [I consistently get a scratch on my head from the low branches of our plum tree while mowing!] Its not necessary to prune your trees, but if you wish, this is the justification. Mr Smarty Plants does have a good answer on pruning Chinkapin oak, Loquat and Monterrey oak trees.
Similarly, to help you do it right, the Wildflower Center has a Step by Step Guide on How to Prune a Tree.

Dubai businessman loses Dh360,000 to email hacker
Mystery suspect stalked victim online and impersonated his suppliers before pocketing the deal
- Image Credit: Arshad Ali/Gulf News
- Abdul Hamid
Dubai: A Dubai businessman has urged traders to be alert after an email hacker posed as his suppliers online to embezzle almost Dh360,000.
Abdul Hamid, a Pakistani heavy machinery dealer, said the hacker intercepted his UK suppliers' emailed invoices for orders worth about £65,000 (Dh358,882).
Hamid instead received 'invoices' with the hackers' banking details and wired the money to the UK as instructed in the emails that appeared genuine.
The 'invoices' and bank accounts still carried his suppliers' names while the fake documents and messages were sent from email accounts virtually indistinguishable from those of his suppliers.
After withdrawing Hamid's payments, the hacker vanished and his real suppliers' original emails started coming in.
Meanwhile, trusting Hamid's track record as a customer, the suppliers had started procedures to ship the goods to Dubai.
But they were soon inquiring about 'delays' in payments.
Hamid insisted the money had gone through and even sent copies of his bank's confirmation.
The shocking truth unfolded when Hamid and his suppliers eventually got in touch over the phone.
"They were perplexed and wanted to know why I had sent the money to a different account this time. I said 'because you told me to.' We only realised our email accounts had been hacked after we verbally went over the recent emails between 'us' — the suppliers said they had never sent those messages," Hamid said.
"I was stunned. The hacker had been stalking me online, waiting until I reached a price agreement with the supplier. He then sent me fake invoices and emails posing as the supplier, so he could get the money instead."
Hamid was on the verge on transferring about Dh551,500 in another deal when he realised the scam.
He said he has reported the incident to Dubai Police and asked his Dubai bank to follow up with the British banks he wired the payments to.
He added that he has also requested the British banks and a UK financial fraud watchdog to alert customers and help track the hacker.
"How could the [UK] banks have accepted my wire transfers into accounts bearing the name of companies that don't have an account with them? If the beneficiaries' account name and account details don't match, please confirm before crediting the account."
Hamid said there needs to be more digital security against hackers as many documents nowadays are emailed instead of shipped between countries.
"Please don't accept invoices over email, always ask for a fax — it's the safest way as there's no one who can come in the middle. And confirm everything by phone.
"I learnt this the hard way and I don't want others to suffer what happened to me. Some people cannot afford a loss like that, it could be someone life savings," he said.
"You don't know how many weeks or months a hacker will stalk you, learn everything about you and your business partners.
"In my case, he seemed to have the same style of writing and tone. He didn't even seem in a rush to scam me."

Volunteers give area cemetery TLC
10/10/2013 - South Side Leader
|Photos: Lew Stamp
John Eaton, customer service administrator for the city of Akron, said many people were motivated to help at the cemetery after local media attention showed the state of the site, which is one of Akron's oldest cemeteries. He added that about 70 people came out on Saturday to work, piling up 16 yards of tree debris and gathering 55 bags of trash.
Lending a hand that day were Uniontown resident Ed Cikity, Green resident Lynn Cikity and Norton resident Paula Cikity, who are shown at top right, from left, as they pull a tarp of debris.
Volunteer Edna McNellis, of Coventry, is pictured at bottom right as she carries an armload of debris.
Shown above are Uniontown residents Justin Cikity, at left, and Todd Rager, at right, as they load a wheelbarrow with fill dirt for Milrad Jovich.
While some of the volunteers were family members of those buried at Mount Hope, the cemetery was also one of several sites addressed by youths that day as part of the Big Day of Serving. Group Mission Trips, a nonprofit group, organized the effort that brought teenagers from youth groups and churches throughout Ohio and surrounding states to help with projects at various sites in the city, according to city of Akron officials.

WACO (July 11. 2014) Waco police on Friday were searching for a man who forced his way into a local pizza restaurant Thursday night and held it up at gunpoint.
At about 11:20 p.m. Thursday a man forced his way into the back door at the Pizza Hut at 626 N. Valley Mills Drive just as the restaurant was closing.
He ordered all the employees to lie on the floor and took money from the day's receipts, Waco police Sgt., W. Patrick Swanton said.
The suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash, Swanton said.
No one was injured in the robbery.
A Waco police K-9 unit and the Crime Scene Unit responded to the call to assist patrol officers in their investigation, Swanton said.
The suspect was described as a light-skinned black man in his mid-20s, with a mustache and a mole or birthmark on his left ankle.
Victims said he is about 5-feet, 9-inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds, Swanton said.
He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and had a blue bandana covering his face.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Waco police at 753-help.

The big story currently driving the political system in Israel to distraction is the completely unexpected and unprecedented post-election pact between Bayit Yehudi, under MK Naftali Bennett, and Yesh Atid, under Yair Lapid. The heads of the two parties have agreed between them that neither will enter the coalition without the other. The chances that Labor (15 seats), which is extremely leftist on economic matters and suspiciously coy about diplomatic and security matters, will join Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, are extremely slim.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/27/14 -- IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IPT) announced today its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The information in this news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, available on the Company website at www.impactsilver.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
Overview for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2014
Financial Overview
-- Revenues for the first quarter of 2014 were $3.0 million, a 30% decrease from $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, resulting primarily from a decline in the silver price. -- Net loss of $1.3 million for the quarter, of which non-cash items included $0.7 million in depreciation and amortization and $0.1 million in share based payments (stock option grants). -- Mine operating loss before amortization and depreciation of $0.1 million compared to $1.5 million earnings in the prior year. This was a direct reflection of the downturn in silver prices. -- Capital expenditures during the quarter included mineral property expenditures of $1.0 million which brought cash down to $2.5 million. The Company continues to be free of long term debt.
Production Overview
-- Silver production decreased 10% to 148,696 ounces for the first quarter of 2014, down from 165,651 ounces in the same period of 2013. -- Average mill feed grade for silver in the first quarter of 2014 decreased to 137 grams per tonne (g/t) from 146 g/t in the first quarter of 2013. -- Total tonnes milled during the first quarter of 2013 decreased to 39,775 from 42,009 in the first quarter of 2013 but increased from the fourth quarter 2013 of 36,655 tonnes. -- The shutdown of the Capire open pit was completed during the quarter. Work commenced on modification of the Capire plant which is being planned to process higher value gold and copper mineralization from the Carlos Pacheco/San Juan area later in the year. -- The Cuchara-Oscar mine was put into production in February 2013. During 2013, the mine contributed 23% of total mill feed. For the first quarter of 2014 it provided 48%.
As noted, the Company increased tonnes produced in the current quarter to 39,775 over the previous two quarters of 36,655 and 38,520 for Q4 2013 and Q3 2013, respectively. This increase has been a result of additional feed from the Cuchara-Oscar mine as it becomes the Company's principal producer, as well as strong contributions from the San Ramon and Noche Buena mines. Grades were lower in the quarter at 137 g/t compared with 146 g/t for the same period in 2013. With production materials being drawn from several mines with different feed grades, mine production can vary from quarter to quarter. However, with the Cuchara-Oscar Mine developing into higher grade mineral, the Company expects an increase in grades going forward in 2014.
In light of lower silver prices, recent Mexican mining tax changes and low overall silver grade being mined at Capire, the Company recognized that the open pit test mining operation was not economic at its present small scale. Thus, open pit operations at Capire were suspended in February 2014. The Capire plant is being reconfigured to process the gold-copper mineralization at Carlos Pacheco. However, the plant will not be reactivated until an industrial dispute with local truck haulers is resolved and metallurgical research is completed, and the Company anticipates the Capire plant will not be contributing to sales and production until later in the year.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the three months ended March 31, 2014, will be available on the Company website on Tuesday, May 28, 2014, at www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.
IMPACT Silver Corp. owns two processing plants within its 100% owned 623-square-kilometer land package in south-central Mexico: the Guadalupe Production Centre and the Capire Processing Plant. At Guadalupe, three underground silver mines feed the central 500 tpd processing plant located within the historic Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District. At Capire, the 200 tpd processing plant is being adapted to process gold and copper mineralization from the Carlos Pacheco/San Juan Project. Additional information about IMPACT and its operations can be found on the Company website at www.IMPACTSilver.com.

The Leisure Society: Leisure time for the late starters
The Leisure Society's new album develops their melodic melancholia, and the songs of their late-blooming leader. Simon O'Hagan meets him
Simon O'Hagan
Simon O'Hagan is Editor of Independent Voices
Friday 19 April 2013
That songwriters tend to reach a creative peak before the age of 30 is one of music's abiding mysteries. It doesn't happen in literature or painting, whose practitioners might go on improving throughout their lives. But look at any list of the greatest songs ever written, and they are generally the work of people who – from the Beatles downwards – are not far into adulthood. As in sport, the clock ticks fast.
Nick Hemming, frontman and songwriter for The Leisure Society, doesn't have an explanation for this. He just knows that, at 39, he was terrified of having to write the band's third album, because "most people are crap by the time they get to my age". Those fears have proved to be groundless. Alone Aboard the Ark is a work of charm and depth, and it confirms Hemming as a musician of striking gifts. Generous of spirit, deft of execution, these are warm, colourful, literate songs that reach into the heart and the head.
With their roots in Burton upon Trent, The Leisure Society offer an unmistakably English outlook on life. That means restraint and melancholy, but it also means exuberance and rapture. In Alone Aboard the Ark, a band which on albums one and two – The Sleeper and Into the Murky Water – were occasionally a bit too retiring have acquired a thrust that shouldn't do them any harm commercially. More and more the group are beginning to look like the British equivalent of The Decemberists.
So are The Leisure Society, with their steadily growing following, about to make an exponential leap? One would like to think so, but part of the band's problem – which is also part of their appeal – is a reluctance to push themselves forward.
I met Hemming and his main accomplice in the six-piece outfit, the similarly modest Christian Hardy, in the back of a pub in Marylebone in central London. We were round the corner from the HQ of Monocle magazine, where the band had just done a set for its radio station.
"There's something quite ugly about bands thinking they're important," Hardy comments. "We're keen to avoid that." Hemming admitted that for a long time the job of promoting his music had been anathema to him. "I would always try to avoid doing an interview. I hated trying to represent myself." Now, according to Hardy, they've realised that "we have to be a bit more assertive". The Hemming/Hardy story begins in the late 1990s. Hemming, the older by seven years, was a guitarist in various bands around Burton, Hardy an up-and-coming keyboard player. They were introduced, and they played together, but the big time it wasn't. Hemming got a job with a company that sold fruit machines, and Hardy went to art college before going to London and pursuing a music career. Back in Burton, Hemming was at a low ebb.
"I had a nervous breakdown, and was in a bad car crash, and my partner left me. It was all piling up and that's when Christian said, 'why don't you come to London'. I hated the job I was doing, so I thought I might as well take the chance." With £1,000 he'd saved, Hemming pitched up at the house Hardy was renting in Balham and slept on his sofa. The Leisure Society – with its rotating cast of supporting musicians but with Hemming and Hardy always at its heart – was off and running again.
Suffering's capacity to inspire great art was demonstrated when Hemming made a return visit to Burton one New Year and an episode unfolded that led to the song that to some extent has become the band's calling card. He bumped into his ex-girlfriend and then went round to her house, "somehow thinking that we'd get back together" – at which point her new boyfriend turned up.
"I was devastated. I got the next train back to London. I sat in my room and cried my eyes out and drank a bottle of vodka and wrote this song." The song was "The Last of the Melting Snow" – a modern classic of love and loss that expresses heightened experience with a rare luminosity. It was nominated for an Ivor Novello award, was championed by Guy Garvey, and was a huge hit with listeners to the Radcliffe and Maconie Show (it was their Record of the Week with 90 per cent of the vote). It not only has the capacity to reduce listeners to tears but still has that effect on Hemming himself. The band performed it live on French radio recently and, "I found myself welling up". Hardy says that he too cried when he first heard it, and, while harbouring his own musical ambitions, he recognises he has to defer to his friend.
"I was a lot more confident before Nick came along, but that's a good thing because our standards went up and expectations went through the roof. With Nick around it would be silly for me to be pushing my songs."
Hemming's songs it is then. He had built up enough that the band's second album drew on the same pool as the first, but with Alone Aboard the Ark, he made a fresh start, which partly explains his concerns about coming up with the goods. By now the band had been discovered by Ray Davies and they were able to record in his Konk studio, the first two albums having been home-studio efforts. Suddenly the stakes were raised, but the result, Hemming said, was something he was really proud of.
"For so long I couldn't write songs. I was a very late bloomer. I only really started when most other people have stopped." Hemming's actual age is therefore misleading. Not only does he look a lot younger than 39, he's a lot younger in songwriting terms. And anyway, who's to say that as with Tom Waits and Neil Young – two exceptions Hemming cites – he won't go on to defy the norm?
'Alone Aboard the Ark' is out now. The tour continues until 25 April

Fort Worth is launching a review of its master thoroughfare plan aimed at accommodating continued suburban growth and central city redevelopment with a greater variety of streets and more efficient traffic flow.
Longtime Fort Worth businessman, philanthropist and preservationist Holt Hickman died Nov. 15, 2014, at the age of 82.

Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) – The Cleveland Browns have released veteran quarterback Vince Young.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam announced the move on Monday during a speech at a Pro Football Hall of Fame luncheon. Young's release follows Cleveland's selection of Johnny Manziel, the dynamic and polarizing quarterback from Texas A&M, in the first round of the NFL draft.
The team signed Young and quarterback Tyler Thigpen on May 1. Young was thrilled to be getting a chance to revive his career, but will now have to try to do it elsewhere.
Young hasn't played in an NFL regular-season NFL game since 2011. The 30-year-old Houston native, who led the University of Texas to the collegiate national championship in 2006, has a 31-19 career record as an NFL quarterback.
A former Heisman Trophy finalist, Young spent five seasons with the Tennessee Titans. He started three games for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. He spent part of the past two preseasons with Buffalo and Green Bay.

Yellow M&M Twerks and Gets Kidnapped in Superbowl Ad Teaser (VIDEO)
Jan 24, 2014 08:16 PM EST | By Dina Exil
M&M's is building anticipation for their Super Bowl ads with a quick "who did it" teaser.
In a teaser video, the Yellow M&M is seen twerking on-camera, according to the Huffington Post. Then the M&M is hit with a tranquilizer dart and dragged off, leaving the impression of a kidnapping scene.

"Find out what happens to Yellow," a handwritten card reads.
Viewers can find out what happened to the Yellow M&M during the Sunday, Feb. 2 Super bowl game. M&M's 30-second teaser was created by ad agency, BBDO New York and reportedly cost the company about $4 million.
In an email to The Huffington Post, the company stated that the Yellow M&M "will take the lead" in this year's slot, airing during the first half of the Super Bowl. Previous years included colors Red in Super Bowl 2013 and Brown in 2012.
The ad will be the beginning of a year-long campaign about the company's peanut candies.
"It's about time we remind the world how irresistible M&M'S Peanut really is," said Seth Klugherz, senior director of M&M's Chocolate Candies in a statement. "Each M&M's Peanut is literally one in 100--meaning we have to sort through 100 different peanuts, just to find one that's lucky enough to make its way into a bag of M&M's Peanut."
The teaser is a part of a larger trend to extend the buzz for the highly-anticipated Super Bowl ads. The Post reported that compared to the last 10 years, at least 12 advertisers have posted teasers on YouTube.
Earlier this week, Nestle, the company that makes Butterfinger candy bars, announced they would be releasing a brand new candy product, peanut butter cups. A Super Bowl teaser ad showed a couple, wearing t-shirts reading "peanut butter" and "chocolate," waiting in the lobby of a "food therapist's" office.
The commercial shows how the relationship between chocolate and peanut butter is about the change. Peanut Butter cups are set to hit shelves this year.
For Dannon's upcoming Super Bowl commercial the company reunited "Full House" stars John Stamos, Bob Saget and Dave Coulier. Us Weekly the commercial it a "reminiscent of their Uncle Joey and Danny Tanner days."
The scene opens with Stamos, a regular spokesman for Dannon's Oikos brand of Greek yogurt, eating a cup of yogurt while watching a football game. After Stamos turns off the television, he looks over his shoulder and finds his former co-stars sitting beside him in their pajamas.

Man gets 12 years in crash that paralyzed motorist
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - A Fort Wayne man who crashed his car into another car in a suicide attempt has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for the crash that left another motorist permanently disabled.
Thirty-two-year-old Jeremiah Therkelsen had pleaded guilty to aggravated battery in the February crash. He did not speak at Friday's hearing where an Allen County judge sentenced him.
The Journal Gazette reports Therkelsen told investigators he had an argument with his wife and tried to kill himself by crashing her vehicle into another car on Feb. 7.
The other car's driver, Lamonta Green, suffered a broken back and a serious head injury.
Allen County Deputy Prosecutor Adam Mildred told the court that Green is now paralyzed from the waist down and his life is changed forever.

Native advertising is having its big moment. When done right, it has tremendous pull with consumers. According to Nielsen, native ads produce as much as an 82% in brand lift. An infographic from MDG Advertising says 70% of individuals reported that they would prefer "to learn about products through content rather than through traditional advertising."
May 10, 2012
A study conducted by iYogi Insights reveals that 42% of consumers subscribe to new products and services after experiencing them for free. The findings were based off more than 2,000 iYogi customers and the data shows that a Freemium offering is vital to the success and market penetration for new products and services.
Other findings from this study show that cloud-based services are successful in acquiring subscribers, movie and video consumption leads to the highest conversion from Freemium to pay-based subscriptions, and the second highest conversion rate is in the computer security sector.

Nanoscale probe reveals interactions between surfaces and single moleculesLos Angeles, CA | Posted on November 20th, 2010
As electronics become smaller and smaller the need to understand nanoscale phenomena becomes greater and greater. Because materials exhibit different properties at the nanoscale than they do at larger scales, new techniques are required to understand and to exploit these new phenomena. A team of researchers led by Paul Weiss, UCLA's Fred Kavli Chair in NanoSystems Sciences, has developed a tool to study nanoscale interactions. Their device is a dual scanning tunneling and microwave-frequency probe that is capable of measuring the interactions between single molecules and the surfaces to which the molecules are attached.

WÄDENSWIL, Switzerland, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Frutarom Health BU, Switzerland, announces the launch of EFLA®pharm, a flagship proprietary product line comprised of both phytopharmaceutical ingredients and pharma flavors. The new product line for the pharmaceutical industry expands the established EFLA® brand, offering increased value to the pharmaceutical industry plus expertise in building a supply chain for sustainable, natural Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients that meet pharmaceutical manufacturers' needs. The EFLApharm family of products are scientifically supported, natural, pharmaceutical-grade herbal extracts. All are produced according to strict GMP guidelines.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140423/681535 )
Examples of herbals used in traditional medicine products under the EFLApharm brand include: Echinacea purpurea L. (purple coneflower), Hedera helix L. (common ivy), and Thymus vulgaris L. (thyme), all of which are key ingredients in the growing field of cough and cold therapeutics.
With the tremendous expansion in the use of traditional medicine worldwide, safety and efficacy-as well as quality control-of herbal medicines and traditional procedure-based therapies are major concerns for health authorities and the public.
Regulatory authorities protect public health while securing free movement of herbal medicinal products within a community, thus the process for licensing and information on herbal substances is being increasingly harmonized. EFLApharm products fall into the Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products (THMP) regulatory framework, and are suitable for global, pharmaceutical-quality submission, including the Drug Master File.
"Quality continues to be a major theme across the nutritional and pharmaceutical ingredients marketplace," says Hadar Sutovsky, Global Manager of the Pharma & OTC segment at the Frutarom Health Business Unit. "Companies throughout the supply chain are taking a closer look at the quality of their ingredients and trying to determine better ways to deliver finished products of the highest quality. With EFLApharm, we can simplify access to the market for pharmaceutical companies striving to launch safe and effective herbal medicines."
Active pharmaceutical ingredients sometimes taste bitter and/or irritate the mouth and throat, and thus are unpleasant not only to children but also to many adults. Flavorants are commonly used in pharmaceutical oral solutions and oral suspensions to mask bitterness and make the formulation more palatable. EFLApharm products offer GMP-quality fruit flavors with long-lasting taste profiles and masking properties. The ingredients are perfectly suited for oral care products, nutritional supplements, cough syrups and other pharmaceutical dosage forms.
About Frutarom
Frutarom is one of the leading flavor and fine ingredient houses, ranked among the 10 leading companies in the global market. Fulfilling its commitment to become the preferred partner for tasty and healthy success, Frutarom provides advanced solutions for the food & beverage, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

Ellis will miss the domestic ITM Cup season in New Zealand to play in Japan's Top League, returning to the Crusaders fold next year to press his claim for a place in the All Blacks squad for the 2015 World Cup.
"I love playing for Canterbury and the Crusaders and I would love the chance to represent New Zealand again if the opportunity ever came up,'' said Ellis, who played the last of his 26 Tests in the 2011 Rugby World Cup final.
''This is certainly not a sign of my playing days in New Zealand coming to an end," Ellis told Fairfax Media in New Zealand. "I am just fortunate to have the ability to play rugby in Japan, which is something I've always wanted to do, and then return home to continue with the Crusaders.''
Crusaders head coach Todd Blackadder said Ellis went to Japan with his blessing.
"Andy has been such a loyal servant to New Zealand rugby and he fully deserves this opportunity to go and gain some international experience," Blackadder said. "We are especially pleased that he's committed to returning to the Crusaders at the end of his season in Kobe.
"Andy has so much more to offer New Zealand rugby so it is fantastic that he continues to see his future here."
Ellis becomes the latest Super Rugby player to move to Japan. He joins the likes of Schalk Burger and Frans Steyn in moving to the Top League as the profile of rugby in the Asian nation grows. Japan recently broke into the world's top ten for the first time in their history.
