Virginia Land and Property
United States U.S. Land and Property Virginia Land and Property
Colonial and State Land Grants
Virginia has been a state-land state in which property has been distributed by the colony or state rather than the federal government. Various methods of distributing land have been used.
The Virginia Company of London, incorporated in 1606, granted land patents to settlers until 1623. These early patents have been lost or destroyed; however, much information on the persons (and their descendants) who received these patents is found in the Jester and Hiden source listed in the "Genealogy" section (also see the "Public Records" section).
In 1623 the Virginia Land Company was dissolved, and the crown then distributed land through the office of the secretary of the colony. Land grants from this office were given in two ways—to those who brought persons to Virginia (headright grants) or to persons who paid money into the treasury (purchases).
Headright grants were issued from about 1618 to 1732. A person was given a patent for a certain number of acres (usually 50 per person) for himself, his wife, servants, slaves, or any other passengers for whom he provided passage. This system was abused by some people who went to different counties and claimed the same persons for headright grants. The grants are listed in Nugent's volumes mentioned below.
After the Virginia Company was dissolved, settlers could purchase patents (grants) through a clerk of the county until 1921. (See Nugent's volumes.)
Obtaining a Patent. A settler petitioned a clerk of the county for a patent. The clerk made out a warrant certificate that was sent to the secretary of the colony where it was recorded, and a second certificate was made authorizing a survey. The surveyor sent his survey plat to the office of the surveyor-general which was established in 1623. The survey plat was returned to the secretary of the colony, and the original or a copy was kept by the surveyor-general's office. The secretary then made out the patent from the survey plat. The patent was approved by the council and governor.
After Receiving a Patent. After receiving a patent, the settler was required to build a house and plant crops. If this was not done in three years, the land reverted to the crown or the state and could be granted to someone else.
The individual who received a patent could sell it to someone else. In this case, the name of the second buyer was often written on the back of the patent and was recorded by the secretary of the colony's office or, after 1623, in the county court records.
Finding the Records. Lists of headright grants and the names of persons brought to Virginia from 1623 to 1732 were recorded in the county court records and in the secretary of the colony's records. The Library of Virginia has these records as well as other grant records and various card indexes. The Family History Library has microfilm copies of:

Transfers of Land between Individuals
Land transactions after the original patent was issued have been recorded in county deed books. Many independent cities in Virginia also kept their own records. You can obtain copies by contacting the appropriate clerk's office—usually the clerk of the circuit court.
The Family History Library has microfilm copies of most of the pre-1880 land records and indexes of the independent cities and counties.

MARLBOROUGH are through to the last eight of a national Vase competition for the second time in two seasons as they reached the South West Junior Vase final on Saturday.
Chris Budgen's men will travel to Gloucester side Longlevens on February 22 with a place in the semi finals of the RFU Junior Vase - one round short of a Twickenham final - at stake.
Marlborough, who reached the South West final of the Senior Vase before losing to Forest of Dean side Drybrook last season, progressed after seeing off their Oxfordshire visitors despite losing Nick Clarke and Jack Lynd to red cards on an afternoon of fluctuating weather conditions at the Common.
The game started in awful conditions, followed by an hour of sunshine as the game took place and then finished with a torrential downpour.
Both sides struggled to get any flow to the game in the first 20 minutes and a number of mistakes and breaks in play meant the early stages were scrappy.
When Marlborough did get the ball to their backs they looked dangerous, although a number of opportunities were wasted.
Eventually after 25 minutes, the Marlborough backs found some space and a good break set up by Mori Nailago led to a powerful run by Jack Lynd who was stopped just short of the line.
He was able to get a pass away to Nathan Morgan to score the first points and add the conversion.
Almost from the kick off Marlborough attacked again and Waisale Navunidaku got clear to score in almost the same position as Morgan's try.
That try went unconverted and, playing the second half down the slope, Marlborough hoped to push on for the win.
Scoring opportunities were few and far between as both sides tackled well.
Clarke however, was red-carded after an unfortunate incident as he went into the tackle. The attacker jumped into him and went up over his shoulder and, although there was no intent, the red card followed.
With Marlborough down to 14 men the game became dominated by infringements.
As tensions rose, Lynd retaliated to a punch by throwing one of his own and was also red-carded.
Down to 13 players Marlborough were still looking to move the ball and managed to score a third try with a good passing move which set up Jonny Mantle to score.
Fine tackling by man of the matches Tom Fleming and birthday boy Hugh Sutcliffe kept Abingdon as Marlborough clinched the trophy.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Adam Lambert's new single "Time for Miracles", which anchors the soundtrack to the upcoming apocalypse-themed movie "2012" has been leaked online, a week before its planned October 27 debut.
The song and its music video were to premiere at screenings of Michael Jackson's "This Is It" film. But "Time for Miracles" hit iTunes's Italy store over the weekend and users have since posted it on YouTube, where it can be downloaded for free.
"Time for Miracles" was produced by Rob Cavallo, who is also said to have collaborated with Lambert on his debut album, which is set for release on November 23.
Lambert, who wowed "American Idol" audiences when he was a contestant on the top-rated TV talent show, has been recording material for his solo debut with hitmakers such as Max Martin, Pink, Linda Perry and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald.

Great Grandson of George W. Thurber - Civil War - Union Army Ohio 1st Reg. Co E Art.
1944-1946 — South Pacific
(My Dad, Boyd Rodgers, relayed this to me.) Boyd enlisted in the navy 5 May, 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio USA. Trained at the U.S. Naval Training Center-Great Lakes Il. Rec. Baks San Pedro, California r.s. Navy # 128 New Jersey ( B.B.62)
The U.S.S. Battleship New Jersey was a Flag Ship for Admiral Halsey. Boyd served on the ship during the battles of Guam, Palau, Okinawa, Northern Luzon & Formosa, Visayas, China Coast and Iwo Jima. He was awarded 7 bronze stars for his service. The U.S.S. NJ had 2 planes on the fantail, Kingfishers with pontoons. When they landed, they used a net and hook to catch the plane. For takeoff, there was a catapult. (12 Ft Kick in the ass) The New Jersey protected the aircraft carriers. The Lexington anchored beside them. Called them the Rooky-sooky boys. Recalled one or two nights of general quarters (due to rough water.) Boyd at first served in the Powder room. 6 bags, 85 lbs per bag, 1 ton Big Shells. (Hell of a rumble.) Set off 6 or 7 one night. (Pillow and blanket over the speaker?) Crossed the Equator and went back and forth across the date line. (Shellback & neptune?) Air raids on Japan The Aleutian Islands were cold. Then back to the South Pacific. The New Jersey would refuel 4 of the destroyers. 18 December, 1944: They lost two destroyers in the Pacific due to Typhoon Cobra. On the upper deck waves were over 100 feet high. The destroyers (tin cans) would flip over and go down. Didn't want to get caught sideways.
One day they had him strapped into one of the gunner stations for 11 hours and at the end he had lost all feeling in his legs and could not walk. Eventually Boyd moved from the Artilery Powder room to the ship store. He said that at one point they carried a load of gold bars and he always wondered what had happened to them. He was just 17 years old when he enlisted and had to have his mother sign to allow it. The time he spent on the battleship and in the powder room triggered a condition that he had to live with the rest of his life (epilepsy) and for which he received a discharge from service due to physical disability.
He returned back to the states on the U.S.S. Bountiful (A H 9): U.S.N.H. Seattle Washington

ONE of Burnley's biggest-ever live gigs has been postponed after Lawson frontman Andy Brown fell ill.
Brown has been ordered by doctors to rest, according to promoters, forcing the cancellation of tomorrow's date at the UCLan campus in Princess Way.
But the band's management has pledged that the four-piece will be heading to East Lancashire for a rearranged appearance on June 7.
The Liverpool-born vocalist is responsible for the pop-rockers moniker - a Dr Lawson was the surgeon who removed a brain tumour when he was aged just 19.
A band spokesman said: "It's with regret that Lawson have to postpone their show in Burnley on Sunday due to illness. Frontman Andy Brown has been told to rest under doctors orders.
"It is the first time in the five years that Lawson have been together that they've had to cancel a show and the band are incredibly disappointed however with Andy's medical history, advice from experts is never taken lightly."
And the singer added: "I'm really sorry to have to postpone the show. I'm really unwell but hopefully will be ready soon!"
All tickets for the Sunday show will remain valid for the June concert, it has been confirmed.

I would not even consider using the ebay stuff on anything , even a strop.Provided you have met the above criteria , It does not take very much to greatly change the way your stone acts. It gets much more aggressive and has less loading issues (especially when you start to get into the higher grit stuff that likes to load up). I do use water when I combine compounds and sprays , but I run the stone more dry than if I were just using the stone alone. I also use a sprayer to lightly mist the stone so that I can keep better track of it. If you wanted to go from one grit to a finer grit you would have to lap the stone to remove all the compound. But I tend to use compound finer than the stone to begin with so the stone is still the limiting factor either way. Get back to us and have fun!
jackknifeh wrote:You asked what I am wanting to do. I'm just experimenting trying to see how different combinations effect the appearance of a bevel or the coarse/smooth condition of the cutting edge. What I would like to perfect (or as best I can) is the ability to get the edge I want. Toothy edge or smooth, mirror finish or just a nice looking bevel or whatever. Just for funThat's as good a reason as any I work with very few abrasion resistant steels but I still like to experiment and play BTW, the edge on the Cold Steel in another thread looks great. Didn't want to forget to say that.Thank you Anyway, with help with products and advice from forum people here and other places I'm very happy with how my results are improving.I only have a few compoundsds. Boron carbide 1 micron, CBN 15, and .5 and the diamond spray .25 micron. Then the DMT diamond pastes. I don't have any nice kitchen cutlery with any high quality steel. Well I need some confirmation here but I think that keiths BC is water based but I cannot say for sure. The blade steels I'm most familiar with is what Spyderco uses. So pocket knives is really what I work on most. I've never sharpened a quality kitchen knife like are sold on CKTG and discussed most on this forum. I"m not a chef at all and will probably never buy quality kitchen cutlery. I'd get some for wife but she preferes the average knives we have so she doens't have to worry about anything. Use them, throw them in the sink. She's happy. I enjoy sharpening so I always have an edge to touch up with her doing that. One thing I do seem to have a problem achieving is a mirror finish on a bevel WITHOUT any random scratches from previous stones. This is just being in a hurry I'm sure. I have the EP Apex with Shapton glass stones up to 8k. I can get bevels with a mirror finish good enough to see a very clear reflection of leaves and branches in a tree that are 10 or 20 feet above my head. Even if there are a few scratches here and there. Ill try to explain. After I'm done with the 8k stonethere may be random scratches as deep as the 1k stone might leave. These scratches are alone. Like a grain of sand was lodged in the stone. Maybe the stones need flattening? This is with the naked eye. Looking at my edges that I'm very happy with gets depressing when I magnify it. If you are using the DMT stones to establish bevels on these knives it might be helpful to add an even lower grit shapton to your lineup. I know that low grit diamond scratches can be very pesky in that way. Especially the DMT's as they seem to leave random scratches much larger than their stated "grit" before they are well broken in from what I am given to understand.I have been chasing the mirror for a while and by seeing a clear reflection of something over 10 feet away I figure I caught the mirror. But my "figuring" or standard is based on what I can see without magnification. I have the loupe with 30x and 60x lenses and I use it when sharpening but as far as the finished edge, if it looks great to the naked eye, I'm happy. When you use the term "chasing the mirror" exactly how do you determine when you catch it. Are you wanting the complete perfection you get from a glass mirror? That's the idea but it is very very difficult to achieve that's why I call it "chasing the mirror" I've only been taking this sharpening thing really seriously for a year or two max and haven't the experience a lot of you guys have. I'm having fun and am seeing significant improvement though. Sometimes the improvement comes in a BANG. With little gradual improvement ALL OF A SUDDEN I will be getting much better results than I was the day before almost. Sounds strange but I don't complain. Maybe it's my imagination.Progress is progress , its good to get "AHA" moments like that , its what we do this for.Thanks for your help.JackPSSorry to get so long winded. I do that.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/4/2013 (1599 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It appears Manitoba's universities will be among those groups feeling the pinch when the province tables its budget April 16.
Sources have confirmed the NDP government will cut in half the increase in total funding to universities that was expected this year.
The schools had planned on a five per cent increase in base funding this year, the last of a three-year funding agreement. Sources confirmed the funding provided in the 2013-14 budget will now be 2.5 per cent.
Not a budget cut, per se. But less than the schools expected, and no doubt less than they would argue they need.
The decision to slow funding to universities is, one could expect, a tell on the upcoming budget. The province is in tough to erase its deficit, which increased over the course of the past fiscal year by $107 million. The total deficit, at last official count, stands at $576 million. This has pushed the deadline for eliminating the deficit back to 2017.
Last year, according to the summary budget statement, total spending was down 3.9 per cent from the previous year. However, because of the 2011 spring flood, the province suffered an additional $437 million in net costs. That dramatically increased the total spending line that year. Critics continue to argue that if you take over those flood costs, there is evidence the province is not doing enough to cut spending on programs directly funded or delivered by government.
Overall, the province froze or reduced spending in 10 government departments. It also found savings by reducing the number of health authorities to five from 11, and merging Manitoba Liquor and Manitoba Lotteries. It was all part of $128 million in spending cuts that, it was thought, would get the deficit under control and retired by 2014-15. We know by now that plan failed.
So, if the tough love for universities is any indication, there will be more than enough pain for numerous departments and funded agencies. Simply put, the province must show some significant progress on the deficit this fiscal year. To date, Premier Greg Selinger has resisted deep spending cuts in priority service areas but if economic growth and revenues do not bounce back, and there is no indication they will in this upcoming year, then he has to do something else.
That having been said, it's troubling to see post-secondary education among the list of departments being asked to do with less, even if it's just less than they were expecting. Universities are key cogs in the economy and integral components in a province's national profile and reputation. Even though almost no one disagrees with those statements, post-secondary education is being battered this budget season.
Alberta (-6.8 per cent) and Nova Scotia (-3 per cent) have outright cut funding to universities. Quebec last year clawed back $124 million in funding and cancelled a scheduled tuition increase. Three others provinces -- P.E.I., New Brunswick and British Columbia -- have frozen funding to universities this year; for B.C., this is the third year in a row of budget freezes. Post-secondary advocates are waiting with great trepidation for a budget in Ontario where, over the past two years, universities have been funded at well below the rate of inflation.
How and why post-secondary education has gotten the short end of the government funding stick is not entirely clear. Perhaps it is the fact that other departments, namely health care, justice and social/family service, are volume- or demand-driven and therefore more difficult to cut. Or, perhaps it is the knowledge that high school students will continue to flock to universities in search of a degree that leads to a good job regardless of government funding levels. In other words, demand for post-secondary education will not drop, even if the quality of that education is suffering.
For this upcoming year, Manitoba appears poised to be the best of a sorry lot of provinces when it comes to university funding. That is a dubious distinction and one that does not bode well for future generations.

Visual area V5, also known as visual area MT (middle temporal), is a region of extrastriate visual cortex that is thought to play a major role in the perception of motion, the integration of local motion signals into global percepts and the guidance of some eye movements [1].
Connections Edit
MT is connected to a wide array of cortical and subcortical brain areas. Its inputs include the visual cortical areas V1, V2, and dorsal V3 (dorsomedial area),[2] [3] the koniocellular regions of the LGN [4], and the inferior pulvinar. The pattern of projections to MT changes somewhat between the representations of the foveal and peripheral visual fields, with the latter receiving inputs from areas located in the midline cortex and retrosplenial region [5]
A standard view is that V1 provides the "most important" input to MT [1]. Nonetheless, several studies have demonstrated that neurons in MT are capable of responding to visual information, often in a direction-selective manner, even after V1 has been destroyed or inactivated (Rodman and collaborators 1989). Moreover, research by Semir Zeki and collaborators has suggested that certain types of visual information may reach MT before it reaches V1. This has been linked to the Riddoch phenomenon.
MT sends its major outputs to areas located in the cortex immediately surrounding it, including areas FST, MST and V4t (middle temporal crescent). Other projections of MT target the eye movement-related areas of the frontal and parietal lobes (frontal eye field and lateral intraparietal area).
Function Edit
The first studies of the electrophysiological properties of neurons in MT showed that a large portion of the cells were tuned to the speed and direction of moving visual stimuli [6] [7]. These results suggested that MT played a significant role in the processing of visual motion.
Lesion studies have also supported the role of MT in visual perception and eye movements.
However, since neurons in V1 are also tuned to the direction and speed of motion, these early results left open the question of precisely what MT could do that V1 could not. Much work has been carried out on this region as it appears to integrate local visual motion signals into the global motion of complex objects. [8] For examples, lesion to the V5 lead to deficits in perceiving motion and processing of complex stimuli. It contains many neurons selective for the motion of complex visual features (line ends, corners). Microstimulation of a neuron located in the V5 affects the perception of motion. For example if one finds a neuron with preference for upward motion, and then we use an electrode to stimulate it, the monkey becomes more likely to report 'upward' motion.[9]
There is still much controversy over the exact form of the computations carried out in area MT [10] and some research suggests that feature motion is in fact already available at lower levels of the visual system such as V1 [11] [12].
Functional Organization Edit
MT was shown to be organized in direction columns [13]. DeAngelis argued that MT neurons were also organized based on their tuning for binocular disparity.[14]

The Nelson Mandela Museum is situated on the N2 highway in Mthatha in South Africa's Eastern Cape province. It promises visitors a memorable cultural experience and insight into the life of Nelson Mandela, with guided tours and a heritage trail that follows his in his footsteps.
Comprising three separate locations, the Nelson R. Mandela Museum consists of the Bhunga Building in Mthatha, the Qunu component and an open-air museum at Mvezo. The historic Bhunga (translated loosely as council or caucus) building accommodates an exhibition tracing Nelson Mandela's journey, as told in his own words, and narrated in part from his acclaimed biography A Long Walk to Freedom. It also showcases a diverse selection of the gifts bestowed on South Africa's most-beloved statesman, Madiba, during his presidency.
From here visitors can visit Mvezo, Mandela's rural birthplace, to gain an understanding of his humble beginnings. Born into a chiefly lineage within the Tembu people, his inkaba (umbilical cord) is buried here in accordance with Xhosa tradition, and it is where his father was stripped of his authority by the apartheid government and forced to flee while Mandela was still an infant.
From there he proceed to Qunu, where his family took refuge and he spent his childhood. Here he assumed a Christian name, Nelson, in place of his Xhosa name Rolihlahla (which means shaking the branches of a tree, or trouble maker), as was the custom at the missionary-run school he attended. He spent his boyhood here diligently doing herd-boy duties and playing in the river.
The Nelson Mandela Youth and Heritage Centre is located at Qunu and comprises the second component of the Nelson Mandela Museum. This unusual heritage tour allows visitors to 'meet' Madiba the man, activist, father, liberation struggle hero and former president.

Alice in Chains was one of the most prominent rock bands in the 1990s and is still hailed as one of the great bands in today's current music market. Alice in Chains was based from Seattle, Washington and was formed in 1987. The band's musical style is primarily grunge, but they also incorporate acoustic elements and heavy metal composition. Alice in Chains was part of the Seattle grunge explosion in the early 1990s, along with Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam. The band is one of the most successful rock bands from their era, selling over 17 million albums. The band has spawned two number one albums (Jars of Flies and Alice in Chains), six Grammy award nominations and 11 top ten hits. Layne Staley was the original lead singer of the band and he contributed vocals to three albums and 3 EPs. Other members include Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez, Sean Kinney and William DuVall. A month before their first debut album, Alice in Chains released an EP entitled "We Die Young", the title track and "It Ain't Like That" appeared on their debut entitled "Facelift". Facelift was also released in 1990. "Man in the Box", was released as a single and the band began to receive critical and commercial success. "Man in the Box" made "Facelift" the first grunge album to reach the top 50 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Critical and commercial success keep coming the band's way with their breakthrough album "Dirt", released in 1992. "Dirt" spawned five hit singles. "Dirt" has sold over 4 million copies, their highest selling album. The first EP to reach the number one spot on the Billboard 200, "Jar of Flies" was released in 1994 to more critical acclaim. "No Excuses" was the band's most successful single. Alice in Chain's last album with Layne Staley as the lead vocalist, "Alice in Chains", was released in 1995. Layne Staley died suddenly of a drug overdose in 2002 and fellow member William DuVall took over as the lead vocalist, releasing their album, "Black Gives Way to Blue" in 2009.

A9 TV, June 24th, 2012
(In response to an e-mail from a viewer claiming that "consciousness evolved.")
"If it is the brain that creates our bodies…" But the brain does not create them, of course. Allah makes the brain His instrument. The brain is a piece of flesh made of nerve tissues. There is nothing in the brain. The brain merely appears as a natural cause in order that we do not have to renounce free will. Otherwise, it is just a piece of fatty flesh full of blood vessels and fibers. If you talk about "...the evolution of consciousness, meaning the evolution of the soul," that is where you will end up. The soul is not something that evolves. It cannot be touched or seen or put in the laboratory. You are subject to consciousness. Consciousness is never subject to you. Consciousness directs you, not you consciousness. When you examine something in the laboratory you can examine it consciously. Consciousness controls you. You do not control it. Consciousness is an awareness, a soul in other words, perfectly made up of sight, hearing, touch, smell and all the rest. Matter is an interpretation by the soul. We believe in matter because Allah tells us to believe in it. We accept its existence. But nobody can see the existence of matter. Nobody knows what it is like. Scientists simply say, "We judge it exists on the outside, we believe in matter. It is pitch dark, and transparent." In other words, we in any case could not see it if there were no light. But when there is light it becomes transparent, they say. Therefore, when we look at the world, it is as if we see a glass block. There is nothing there. You are talking about information encoded in the soul. You are talking about that coming into being through evolution. Allah is making you say that. You are the prisoner of your soul. You cannot move at all. It is as if you are nailed to the spot. Your soul tells you to write, and you write. My soul tells me to read, and I read.
"The Mahdi is highly learned and flawless in gentleness. He is strong in faith and learned in politics. We have an obligation to obey him. He has come to discharge this duty at the command of Almighty Allah. He is the defender of the faith of Allah."
"There is correspondence about the Mahdi." "People will point to him." "They will ask him questions, and attempts will be made to kill him," he says. These are characteristics of the Mahdi. Now look, there is correspondence about the Mahdi on the internet. They point to him. He can be shown on the streets or on the television. Written or verbal questions can be asked. That also means that many attempts will be made on his life.
Abu Basr relates; "I said to Abu bin Hassan Mousa bin Jafr; "By what sign is the Imam Mahdi to be known? He replied; he will respond immediately when people ask him about the Mahdi. If they are silent in his presence, he will begin speaking of his own accord." In other words, he will not ask why they do not speak alongside him. "...and he will tell them of the future." Things like; "We can see this from the hadiths of our Prophet (saas). These things will happen. There will be Islamic Unity in the End Times. The Mahdi will appear. Jesus the Messiah will appear. Disbelief will be destroyed, the system of the dajjal (antichrist) will be destroyed." "He will describe the events of the future. He will speak to people in all languages." That means his words will be translated into all languages. Maybe 70 or 80 languages. The followers of the Mahdi are very similar to the Mahdi. That is a sign we are followers of the Mahdi. They match one another. "The Mahdi is highly learned and flawless in gentleness." He is gentle and mild. "He is strong in faith and learned in politics." The Mahdi will be a good politician. Politicians will await his comments. They will receive his opinions. Not directly, but indirectly. Insha'Allah. Our Prophet (saas) says so.
A Muslim must be attractive and pleasant-looking. Being attractive is not a sin. Prostitution and adultery are sins. Looking at pork is not a sin, but eating it is. Looking at wine is not unlawful, but drinking it is. Of course a woman must be attractive. And a man must be attractive and good-looking. Otherwise, they would have to look unpleasant. And there are a great many men do look quite repellent. There are those who are disgusting and are criticized by everyone. A Muslim must look good, but must control his heart and eyes. There is no reason why a Muslim should not look good. You must control your mind and desires. A Muslim must not be repellent. Why look repellent to people? But one must avoid prostitution and adultery through faith.
(The election results are announced in Egypt today and Muhammad Mursi, the candidate of the Muslim brothers won the election.)
By the good will of Allah, it is one step further to the system of Mahdi. The order of Pharaoh was prevelant in Egypt for the last 5-6 decades, 7 decades. This is the first time that the branch of the system of Mahdi enters Egypt. Muslim brothers is a Muslim community that Bediuzzaman appreciated. Of course they are not the people who have no flaws or errors but they will abide by the system of Mahdi. What do they say? They say, "There is no madrasa, we will abide by Hazrat Mahdi.2012-10-08 10:29:03

All students will receive HTH Worldwide Insurance for their semester at the Trinity in Cape Town program. This is included in the program for no additional charge.
Although you may have health insurance through your family , it is essential for you to have study abroad health insurance that works overseas and includes services not offered through most regular insurance policies, such as emergency medical evacuation, family reunion insurance, repatriation, and safety/political evacuation.
HTH has many important services, such as information on the availability, doses, and names of medications overseas, access to provider information in countries worldwide and 24/7 emergency help. Through the HTH website,
, you may book doctor's appointments, search for local clinics and health care, and even receive comprehensive travel advice.
You will be enrolled online by our office before you depart. During this process, you will receive an email directly from HTH Worldwide Insurance. In order to complete your enrollment, you will need to create a username and password at that time.
Your enrollment period will begin one week before the program and end one week after the program. Once you have enrolled fully, you may pay HTH directly on-line to extend coverage if you plan on travelling extensively after the program. HTH insurance covers students all over the world (not just South Africa) and only excludes students while they are in their country of citizenship.
Medical Emergencies
Anytime a student goes to a doctor or hospital in the HTH network, HTH must be contacted immediately at 610-254-8771 (it is 24/7 and collect calls are accepted) so HTH can guarantee payment. If they have enough time to do this and authorize payment to facility then students should not have to pay up front.
If students go to a doctor or hospital outside of the HTH network, or if HTH doesn't have enough time to guarantee payment, then students will have to pay for services upfront and then submit a claim for reimbursement. The claim form is very easy and is available on the website as well.
Regardless of the situation, your on-site director should be notified of any medical situation and called upon for assistance whenever needed.
Dental visits are not covered under the HTH insurance unless as a result of an accident
Students should also refer to the flowchart in the Pre-Departure Handbook for step by step instructions of what to do in the case of a routine doctor visit as well as an emergency.
There are no additional immunizations needed for Cape Town but if students are travelling to the northern part of the country and to neighboring countries, there are some precautions that should be taken such as malaria, TB and typhoid. Students should consult the website for the Center for Disease Control
for information concerning recommendations for additional inoculations and treatments at www.cdc.gov or call (404) 639-3311.
General Medical Recommendations
It is advisable to have routine medical and dental examinations before you go to make sure you are in good health. It is also important to check that your vaccinations for measles, meningitis, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, and tetanus are current.
Be aware that the manner in which medical help is obtained, the way patients are treated, the conditions of overseas medical facilities, and how health care is afforded often present marked differences from U.S. practices. U.S. health care values, assumptions, and methods are not universally practiced. Indeed, even the notions regarding the onset of illness or points at which expert attention is required are to some degree cultural phenomena.
If you have a physical or psychological condition that requires ongoing treatment by a doctor, you should consult with your physician or mental health professional about the prospect of studying abroad.
Trinity College does not employ mental health professionals at any of our programs, nor is mental health treatment widely accessible or comparable to mental health treatment in the U.S. In our admission process, we do not discriminate against individuals who have had any type of emotional or psychological problem. However, for your own welfare, we ask that if you have had any emotional or psychological problem, you consult with a mental health professional in this country to discuss the potential stress of study abroad, and to provide us with specific information concerning your psychological health (i.e., if you ever experience anxiety, depression, etc.), and to be aware that English-speaking counselors are not readily available to program participants.
If you are on medication, discuss with your physician the type of care you may need while abroad and the best way to continue your regimen. You must also determine if your medication is legal to bring into your destination country, and if you will be able to obtain additional medication. For example, certain medications for ADHD are illegal in South Africa. Notify the OIP if you have any chronic conditions that require special care

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV June 24th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: "If it is our brain that creates our bodies.. " this message writes.. Of course it is not the brain that creates, Allah makes something called brain instrumental in this. Brain is actually a piece of flesh made up of a handful of flesh and fat. There is nothing extra-ordinary about the brain. Brain is introduced as a reason just to avoid losing the free will of the mind. Otherwise it is just a piece of flesh full of veins and fat. There is nothing else inside the brain. Brain is just a story, nothing would come out of the brain. It is a piece of flesh full of nerve fibers. Consciousness and the evolution of consciousness.. so you mean the evolution of the soul. Well, you'd better get into that subject as you would be done with once you get into that anyway. The soul is not something that could go through an evolution. I mean it is not tangible, it cannot be observed, it cannot be put in a laboratory. That is because you are the one abiding by the conscious, it is never the other way round. Conscious is the thing that leads you. You are not the one leading your conscious. When you analyze something in a laboratory, you do that analysis inside your conscious. It is the conscious that controls you, you cannot control your consciousness. Furthermore consciousness is a state of alertness that consist of the perfection of all seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling, that is the soul. Material is a perception of the soul. We believe in the existence of the materials because Allah tells us to believe, we accept that it exists. No one has ever seen the existence of material, there is no one who knows, no one knows how it is. The scientists just tell us that the material that they assume to exist in the outside is pitch black and transparent. I mean if there wasn't any light, we wouldn't be seeing anyway. And when there is light, it is only transparent, they say. Consequently when we look at the world, it is almost as if we are looking into a glass block. A block made up of glass.. there is nothing else. I mean just as you look into a glass sphere, when you look at the world it is just like looking into a glass sphere. There is nothing. Just think about a glass sphere inside pitch black darkness, that is how it is. Allah shows that to us like this. And since you are obsessed with evolution, you attempt to have the soul go through an evolution as well. So you would thus be attaining soul through evolution. It is the soul that rules you, it is the soul that teaches you everything and you attempt to give a lesson to the soul. You are nothingness inside the soul. And as nothingness you attempt to give a lesson to the soul. You just are saying the knowledge that is coded inside your soul. You there talking about evolution, etc., it is your soul that has been coded to say all those. You are made to say these by Allah. You are the slave of your soul. You cannot move anywhere. Just like being nailed to somewhere, you are nailed in it. Your soul tells you to write and you write. And my soul tells me to read and I read.

Today is Shrove Sunday, which of course means split pea soup and Shrove Buns. I will give those buns a miss this year, but split pea soup is definitely on the menu and this vegan version is an old favourite of mine. Although we are still in the midst of summer here in Sydney, I have no issues eating a big bowl of soup, the thicker the better. You can easily adapt this recipe to your liking, try using different vegetables like celeriac, celery and garlic or experiment with different dried herbs and spices. If you want to make it extra-fancy, add a drop or two of liquid smoke in the mix too.
Split pea soup
(serves an army)
230g green split peas
230g yellow split peas
1 brown/yellow onion
3 large carrots
1 large parsnip
1 teaspoon ground mustard*
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
10 whole black peppercorns
2 litres water or vegetable stock
a good pinch of quality salt
* I tend to keep ground mustard at home because it has a longer shelf-life than ready-made mustard. If you prefer, you can use a small dollop of normal mustard (wholegrain or Dijon) to season each portion at serving.
1. Rinse the split peas and remove any stones or discoloured peas.
2. Place all other ingredients, except for salt in a large French casserole. Bring to boil and leave to simmer for 40-60 minutes, depending on how mushy you like it to be. Season with salt and serve. You can freeze the excess soup.

Instant Pot Slow Cooker Meatloaf (Gluten Free)
Submitted by Brandilyn T.
YUMMY! Use ground beef or ground chicken for this recipe. You can also have the option to add potatoes for a full meal.
- 1 lb ground meat
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 small can drained mushrooms (I like to chop these)
- 1 cup milk
- Thick sliced potatoes (about 1/2 " slices) Sea salt and dry garlic grinder
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 4 TBSP brown sugar
Spray inner pot with non-stick spray.
Mix Meatloaf ingredients, shape into a round loaf and place inside pot, forming to fit.
I like to form meatloaf more to one side of the pot and add thick potato slices stacked up in the remaining area next to the loaf. (If you decide to add potatoes, season them now with sea salt/garlic.)
Make your meatloaf topping and add to the top of your loaf.
Close and lock Instant pot lid and make sure the Steam Release Handle is in "venting" position. Choose the Slow Cook key and adjust (using – or +) for time. Then adjust for Temperature (using the Less/Normal/More keys – Less=Low/Normal=Med/More=High)
Cooking Time:
- LOW 6-8 hours or on HIGH 4-6 hours

Go Trojans!
I was invited to teach a class in Premiere Pro recently at USC! To say I was thrilled was an understatement! The facilities there are second to none. And even better were the inquisitive and talented students!
The class was an advanced editing class and they wanted to see how it would be to edit a project in Premiere Pro. From my discussions they really enjoyed the ease of bringing in clips, scanning them in the icon mode, the new trim window, and the dynamic link. The ability to use their Avid shortcuts was a hit as well as exporting their own shortcuts to use on different machines. Key framing effects, motion and more was well received.
The Dynamic Link to After Effects was really a hit as I showed them how simple it was and no rendering! We looked at adding simple effects and compositing. They loved having this tool at their disposal.
We worked off an outline from An Editors Guide to Adobe Premiere Pro and it was great! I highly recommend it as a go to text.
All in all it was a great experience for the students and myself. I look forward to being invited back again! (Hint)

If you haven't noticed, generic delivery pizza is becoming less of a culinary archetype and more of an artifact, and millions of pizza lovers in this country have helped elevate it to something far more experiential. While there's nothing wrong with the simplicity of classic staple toppings like tomato and mozzarella, nowadays fortune clearly favors the brave when it comes to ingredients. In fact, I'd venture to say the best thing about American pizza is the way it's constantly being reinvented. Pies are blank canvases of doughy crust — a true tabula rasa — that layer after layer get transformed into discus-shaped delights. We, with our discerning pizza palettes, are no longer content with plain ol' pepperoni and mundane mushrooms; we want slices that shock and awe. The only real rule for building a bold, pie masterpiece (masterpie, if you will) is that it tastes awesome in the end.
Now as you may or may not know, a good majority of us here at Cooking Channel live in New York City, and as you may or may not have heard, the vast majority of New Yorkers are big, giant pizza snobs. And listen, I get it. Without New York's Little Italy, American pizza would not be what it is today. This is where pizza in America began and now you literally can not walk five blocks without passing an array of independently-owned pizza joints. Barring Chicago (and let's get real, Chi-town, I'm from NC and even I know deep dish isn't really pizza — it's a casserole) and Naples, pizza's birthplace, it's rare we hear of places rivaling New York's caliber of pizza … at least that used to be the case.
This Sunday, Cooking Channel's in hot pursuit of famed "masterpie" builders on Pizza Outside the Box, and we're traveling coast to coast in search of them. Not only have we discovered ten of the most deliciously daring and unorthodox pizza pies in the country, but guess what? NONE of them are in New York! Not a one. Whether grilled in Rhode Island or baked in a thousand degree oven in Boulder, Napoletana-style or with an Asian twist, each of these pizzas are famous for their unique ingredients and flavor combinations. Forget everything you thought you knew about pizza, and see where and why customers clamor for awesome out-of-the-box taste. My two personal faves intrigue me both in terms of their inventive toppings as well as their surprisingly rural locations.
Let's start with the phenomenon pictured above. Folks, meet the Mac and Cheese pizza. To enjoy a slice of this cheesy and carbtastic pie you'll need to head to the heartlands. Madison, Wisconsin is home to over 13,000 dairy farms and produces over 130 million pounds of cheese every year. Knowing how much this college town loved their cheese, Ian Gurfield, owner of Ian's Pizza, felt confident a mac and cheese pizza could work. And work, it did. Covered with cooked macaroni (that gets slightly crispy in the oven), a blend of mozzarella and sharp Wisconsin cheddar and drizzled with tangy, creamy creme fresh, this pie was an instant home run with the college crowd. One girl calls it the perfect "breakup food." I'd swap a carton of Ben and Jerry's for a slice of this any day.
In Fayetville, West Virginia — yes I said West Virginia — Pies and Pints' chef and co-owner David Bailey is making culinary waves with his innovative pizzas, including his signature Grape Pie (pictured below). Beginning with a base of provolone and mozzarella cheese, he liberally sprinkles his dough with sweet and juicy red grapes cut in half, salty crumbles of gorgonzola and fresh rosemary. The sweet and salty combo has the whole town hooked, as well as the multitude of outdoor enthusiasts that visit the area for recreation. It certainly gives me a hankerin' to hit up those country roads where (perhaps) I belong, after all.

They're working on a male-friendly version, but it won't be out until after the Everpurse launches.
Maybe I'm splitting hair, but instead of a murse a messenger bag or same thing?
So my wife has several purses and a large pocketbook. I have several battery chargers/extenders. She keeps one in her purse (whichever one she is using) and slips her phone into it whenever she needs a charge. Not inductive but really it only takes a second to plug the phone in. She also has a holder for the phone in the car(Wilson ibooster not made anymore) which she just slips the phone in and it keeps it charged and boosts the signal.
I don't understand. You don't have to install anything into your iPhone? I can't find anything about it. I thought you had to install some kind of receiver in the iPhone to receive inductive charging

What's going on July 10th at Gainesville Hackerspace:
As announced a few weeks ago on the mailing list, and at every meet leading up to tonight, the annual meeting is tonight. Instead of holding a typical open meeting night, tonight Gainesville Hackerspace will be reviewing various administrative information and electing new board members.
All members are invited to attend. Other attendees are welcome too, but there won't be much fun stuff to do.
Normal meetings will resume next week, July 17th, 2012. See you then!

BEIRUT (AP) -- Syria and Iran have threatened to retaliate for an Israeli air raid near the capital Damascus.
Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul-Karim Ali says Damascus has "the option and the surprise to retaliate." He said he cannot predict when the retaliation will be, saying it is up to relevant authorities to prepare for it.
In Iran, the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian on Thursday as saying the raid on Syria will have significant implications for the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
U.S. officials said Israel launched a rare airstrike inside Syria on Wednesday, targeting a convoy believed to contain anti-aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah. The Syrian military denied the existence of any such shipment and said a scientific research facility outside Damascus was hit.

7 Signs That Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Are Splitting
As rumors swirl about Brangelina calling it quits, we are looking for answers.
-Kathy Campbell
Have they or haven't they? That's been the question since Sunday, when Britain's News of the World newspaper claimed that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had met with lawyers in early December to hash out a deal to split their $333 million fortune and work out who gets custody of their six kids.
According to the newspaper, an announcement of the couple's separation is to be made soon. While it is hard to believe claims made by a British tabloid, in an era where the National Enquirer can be break true stories about John Edwards' love child and Tiger Woods' infidelity, anything is possible, right?
Now, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but if you ask me, there are some signs that not all is as it should be in the Brangelina universe.
1. The couple have not been seen together since January 6. According to the National Enquirer (I am starting to think they might be worthy of a Pulitzer), Brangelina were last seen together at a NYC restaurant called Alto, where they had an explosive argument over a six-hour dinner. The Enquirer claims Brad, 46, planned the dinner as an intervention to persuade Angelina, 34, to seek psychiatric help. (The tabloid alleges that Angie has been battling depression ever since her mom Marcheline's death three years ago). For the record, the couple were last photographed in public on January 2 (more than three weeks ago).
Read Brad to Angelina: Eat Something!
2. Reps for Brad and Angelina have not issued an official denial of the News of the World story. Hollywood reps often take the easy way out by refusing to comment on their clients' private lives, but Brangelina's they have issued statements in the past to deny stories that they deemed to be outright lies. So far, we've heard… nothing. Instead, inside sources are working overtime putting their own spin on the story. Some say that the couple haven't split (People), while others say they have (see New York Post).

AFTERNOON sunshine helped visitors enjoy a bustling 2014 Arthington Show.
The Arthington, Bramhope, Pool and District, Horticultural and Agricultural Society event, held at Pool-in-Wharfedale on Sunday featured everything from ferrets to fire jugglers.
It also included high numbers of entries across the traditional display entry classes for livestock, horse and ponies, produce, and arts and crafts.
Showjumping, a dressage demonstration and a birds of prey exhibition all proved popular, while a circus skills workshop and donkey rides were a hit with the children.
MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) was among the audience. He said: "I had a wonderful day out with the family at Arthington Show.
"The range of classes put on was fantastic- everything from flower arrangements to dog classes.
"Add on attractions such as the birds of prey show, fire juggling and many others, and it was a terrific event overall with a great atmosphere. Personally I especially enjoyed the live music, particularly the set from Bullfrog Jones.
"Credit to the organisers for putting on the 97th annual show and making a success of it."
Show secretary Karen Lewis said: "The day began with a covering of cloud and drizzle but the sunshine broke out around noon and it became a lovely sunny day.
"The committee, under the chairmanship of Adrian Tate and president Bruce Everall, had worked hard to put on a show that would interest all tastes.
"This included a large horticultural and produce tent, great main ring attractions including Cyril The Squirrel and Ben Potter's Birds of Prey Display, and the new children's zone - with circus skills and performances, assault course and slides.
"Our cattle, sheep, horse and dog entries all reported good numbers and there were a number of attractions to keep the public entertained throughout the day, including live music from local artists Bang On Drummers and Bullfrog Jones.
"The popular Gun Dog Scurry was held along with 'have a go' main ring activities, and the children's pets, fancy dress, and mounted fancy dress were as popular as ever."
The driving classes also proved popular, with show president Mr Everall and his wife Anne taking a lap of honour with their chosen winner of the Concourse De Elegance, and there were five rings for horse classes that ran throughout
the day.
Other attractions included a display by the Airedale Beagles pack and the Shire Horses and Tractor Parade, while the return of sheep to main show field was welcomed - even if two made a bid for freedom and had to be caught.
Karen added: "We would like to thank everyone who came, the exhibitors, and the many volunteers who helped to steward the classes, the judges, the sponsors and the landowners, Mr and Mrs Launder and Mr and Mrs Greenwood."

ImSpartacus - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkI wish there was a camera shutter button on the SGS4 Active.
If you're using it underwater, I imagine that you're scuba diving or something else vacation-y. That means pictures, and a lot of them. Reply
sherlockwing - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkThe SGS4's Camera software you can set the volume key as the Camera button, so I don't think that will be a problem. Reply
sherlockwing - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkIn SGS4's default Camera app(which GS4A also uses), the volume key can be set as the Camera key/Record key or adjust Zoom(+/-). Reply
tdktank59 - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkBasically useless for scuba diving since its only rated for 1M or 3.28FT. Snorkeling on the other hand would work, but then again its only rated for 30 minutes.
My guess is this is for the active people who will be in dusty areas or boaters. Basically wherever you phone can come into contact with water or lots of dust. Reply
khaakon - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkMy alternative guess is that this type of phone also attracts people looking for durability, like me. One could hope those seals keeps the insides safer for longer. I wouldnt mind have my breaking after two years, dunno if i'm an active person (phone lives mostly in back pocket though) - and my appartement is quite dusty.. Reply
khaakon - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linksry, typo;
* my phone breaking after ... Reply
sigmatau - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkI never understood how people keep coming up with the thought of taking pictures with this thing underwater. You do understand that 1 meter is about 3 feet right? You can't swim in 3 feet of water. This is for all the smart people that have dropped their phone in a toilet (and then quickly placed them on ebay.) Not even sure it would work in the rain as pressing wet buttons may get water in the device. Reply
hughlle - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkI can easily swim in 1 meter of water, especially if there is more water underneath that 1 meter limit..
I would personally like to be able to submerge it even 25cm under the waters surface to take a photo while fishing. It then kills two birds with one stone for me. I don't have to be worried about having my phone with me in case of the baot capsizing, or wet hands etc, and i don't have to go out of my way to buy a dedicated waterproof camera. Reply
augiem - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkYou'll be really sorry if you drop it... Dedicated waterproof cameras are cheap. < $100. I recommend it. Reply
hughlle - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkAnd I'd be pretty bummed if my phone got stolen in a bar and as such I lost my GPS and my mp3 player. I. Guess I could just buy a Nokia 3310 and a 40 quid GPS and a 50 quid mp3 player and such and such. Having everything lumped into one device, for me, the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Not to mention, I don't ever use hardware in risky situations unless I have a safety precaution in effect, such as a wrist strap, which a cheap case or a diy solution easily accommodates.
At the end of the day, I am just one person giving my reasons, there are a whole lot of folk who like this potential, hence why they are making the device. I hardly think that Samsung are making this because they felt that they were about to be unseated because Sony were making a waterproof phone. There will always be arguments against, but the simple fact is that there are people who will buy this type of item because they have a personal reason for wanting it.
One could equally say why take the camera into consideration on any phone because you can buy a camera for peanuts that far outperforms a phone camera. This could simply be the convenience of sharing. Sure I could buy a dedicated underwater camera, but I then have to take numerous additional steps in order to share the photo. Heck, camera companies are now making dedicated cameras these days purely because people are bringing to shun point and shoots because the convenience of having a camera on their phone outweigh the fact that their camera as such costs considerably more than a dedicated camera. You could drop a camera down a tree, off a bridge, down a cliff, just as easily as in water, but people still happily use their present camera phones for these pictures. Reply
sigmatau - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkYou won't be able to use it underwater. Apparently you glossed over half my post. This is in case you drop it in a puddle or get water on it. It will not be usable underwater. There is a reason why they say only one meter. This is more water resistant than water proof. Maybe in a few years. Reply
CyberAngel - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkI can take photos underwater in a pool which is deeper than one meter.
If it's just a few minutes it'll survive 7ft.
I really own a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Urban Grey about 2 weeks after introduction in Finland in at about 26th of May. Maybe it was just after 4th of July on Friday the 5th day - Yes!
There is a special underwater camera mode.
The touchscreen does not work underwater and you have to wipe it clean in order to use it.
As fast as the S4 Inactive, but pictures are only about UHD sized at 8Mpx, not the 13Mpx.
Unfortunately I don't have a sharper monitor or TV or projector to show bigger pictures ;-) Reply
cmikeh2 - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkJust a quick typo but the Snapdragon 600 is quad core. How did viewing angles compare with the TFT display in comparison with the AMOLED or the LCDs on the XPERIA Z or the One? Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Friday, June 21, 2013 - link"4.3-inches is really the ideal smartphone display size for me. The iPhone 5 is still a bit too small, and the SGS4 is a bit too big."
I agree too, I think 4.3 to 4.5 is perfect for 1 hand use, I have high hopes for Motorola, hopefully they'll figure out the "perfect" size phone with minimum bezels. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkI've had a 4.3" SGS2 and now a 4.7" Galaxy Nexus and am looking forward to getting a 5.5" or 6" smartphone next year. 4.7" is still easy to use single handedly. But I really don't need that. The bigger screen and hopefully bigger battery will be great benefits. That's the good thing about Android: you can get any size you want. :D Reply
mchart - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkTo those thinking you can use something rated as WR to 1M for taking underwater photos... You are false. Rated to 1M/3Feet means it will only take splashes, or a quick drop in. Anything more and it will fail. Remember, the water resistance test only consists of submerging the device in a small amount of water (Only enough needed to submerge it) and then applying pressure inside the container to simulate 1M below of water pressure. It does not simulate any additional pressure from movement, etc..
So basically, if you've got something rated for only 1M WR you'd be a fool to actually submerge it. The rating is only there to indicate it is splash proof. Not even a watch rated to 100M WR should be used for much beyond swimming at the surface. Reply
MonkeyK - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkBut it would be great mounted on my bike. Then I wouldn't have to worry about it when I ride in the rain. Reply

(A) put on the USB cap securely
(B) the back must be sealed so you need to go around it (after accessing the interior)

A child was rushed to hospital from a Worcester primary school after being taken seriously ill at school.
The air ambulance went to Cherry Orchard Primary School in Timberdine Close at 1.55pm yesterday after a schoolgirl collapsed.
Headteacher Jeremy Harwood said: "I can confirm that sadly one of our pupils was taken ill at school yesterday afternoon with emergency services being contacted immediately due to the apparent seriousness of the condition.
"My thoughts at this difficult time are with the pupil and their family.
"As this all happened so suddenly I am currently working with the County Council to arrange appropriate support for pupils and staff as we move forward over the next couple of days."
A spokesman from West Midlands Ambulance Service said it sent two ambulances, a rapid response vehicle, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham.
He added: "The girl received emergency treatment at the scene by medics and was transferred by land ambulance to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further emergency treatment.
"The girl was later transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital."

I love having a CSA. Every week, my farmer delivers fresh-picked tomatoes, peaches, herbs and as many squash as I can carry. But then, there's the okra situation. For the last month, my CSA box has included a big bag of okra. "I hope you're not tired of okra," my farmer says each week. I vaguely smile. I'm not tired of okra — I'm stumped by it.
Okra is like the cilantro of the vegetable world — most people either love it or hate it, but so far I'm smack in the middle of the "indifferent" category. There's plenty not to like about okra — it can get slimy, it has an odd flavor — but I feel like I'm just missing something. As a transplant Southerner, I wouldn't turn away fried okra, but I don't get jazzed about it, either. Serve me some okra-laced gumbo, and I'll eat it, but I'll slurp down, not savor, the okra chunks. I want to know what else there is to love about this under-appreciated veg — so I looked for inspiration.
My first stop was the Homesick Texan, who also has a complicated relationship with okra. A former hater, these spicy okra pickles changed her mind. Could they change mine?
In the "okra: it's what's for dinner" category, Cooking Channel's own Roger Mooking has a (surprisingly) appealing idea: okra chili (and a whole episode all about okra!) He mixes up his own spice mix, then throws in chili classics like red beans, beef, a bottle of beer and, of course, okra!
Over at the Souvlaki For the Soul, I found a simple, classic Greek recipe: braised okra (or "bamies," pronounced bum-yes in Greek). You quick-pickle the okra in red wine vinegar, cook with tomatoes, onion and olive oil, then sop up all the delicious sauce with crusty bread. Yum!
Cooking Channel's resident Spice Goddess, Bal Arneson, has a delicious-looking, Indian-inspired take on classic stewed okra. She sautes onion with coriander and turmeric, then adds cherry tomatoes, okra and fresh paneer (!) and cooks till just tender.
Hmmm. Okra…yum? For the first time, I'm excited about, not dreading, the pile of okra in my fridge.
Okra: do you love it or hate it? How do you cook it up?

Battles For the GodsLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
There was once a massive evil being, so grand that it took gods from all over the world to just defeat his minions. Each minion needed to be fought with a special weapon in a special place or they would never die. Also, since gods are busy people, they could choose the date of the fight. The gods decided who would use what weapon, when, and where, based on if they could use the weapon well, if they liked the battleground or not, and if they were free that day. If they liked the battleground, then they would fight there. There were five minions, five dates, five gods, five battlegrounds, and five weapons:
5 Gods: Thor, Zeus, Ra, Apophis and Loki
5 Minions: Fiery Fiend, Metal Eye, Anti-God, Giant Worm, and the Undead Cyclops
5 Weapons: Heavenly Spear, Diamond Dagger, Doomsword, Night Bow and Staff of Fury
5 Battlegrounds: Easter Island, Stonehenge, Camelot, Sherwood Forest and Avalon
5 Dates: March 17, December 25, February 14, January 1, and December 31
Can you find out which god fought which minion where, when and with what weapon?
1) Loki did not fight the Fiend, but did use the Bow.
2) Thor fought about 283 days before Zeus.
3) The one who fought the Cyclops is the one who fought on Dec. 31.
4) The one who fought the Fiend, who fought at Camelot on Jan. 1 didn't use the Dagger.
5) The Spear user fought on Easter Island on March 17.
6) The one who fought in Sherwood Forest fought on Dec. 31.
7) Ra fought with the Sword in Avalon.
8) The Fiend was fought by Apophis.
9) The Giant Worm was defeated at Stonehenge.
10) The Anti-God was defeated on March 17.
