He is well known for organizing a celebration in 1997 to celebrate his 30th anniversary as president of the well-known Champagne company.
The owners of 30 of the best wines in the world, in his judgment, were invited to attend the gala event. Half of his selections were from France. "I’m a chauvinist and a nationalist" he explained.
The event took place in two separate parts: first, a dinner featuring Bordeaux wines, then a tasting the next day with all the other wines.
Many owners expressed their belief that it was a great pleasure and an honour to have been invited to participate in such a prestigious event.

Asian Nigerian

Asian Nigerians are Nigerian citizens whose ancestry lies within the continent of Asia, most notably Bangladesh, Lebanon, China, Hong Kong, Philippines, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Japan. It also refers to Asian-born persons currently living in Nigeria. By mid-2008, Filipino residents in the country had increased to an estimated 4,500, up from 3,790 in December 2005. There is a large population of Chinese people in Nigeria which comprise Chinese expatriates and descendants born in Nigeria with Chinese ancestry. As at 2012, there are approximately 20,000 Chinese in Nigeria. As at 2013 there are approximately 35,000 Indians in different parts of the country.

Asian immigration to Nigeria

In 1930, colonial Nigeria's census showed four Chinese immigrants residing there. Hong Kong investors started opening factories in Nigeria as early as the 1950s. By 1965 there were perhaps 200 Chinese people in the country. By 1999, that number had grown to 5,800, including 630 from Taiwan and 1,050 from Hong Kong. Filipinos arrived in Nigeria as early as the 1970s; the Philippine Barangay Society of Nigeria was founded in 1973 in an effort to coordinate the various Philippine community organisations that had already sprouted up around the country.

Darren Jones (politician)

Darren Paul Jones (born 13 November 1986) is a British Labour politician and solicitor, who has been the Member of Parliament for Bristol North West since 2017. Jones is currently Convenor of the Future Britain Group, an alliance of Labour Parliamentarians from the party's democratic socialist and social-democratic traditions.

Early life and education

Jones was born in north Bristol, at Southmead Hospital, and grew up in Lawrence Weston and Shirehampton. He attended Avon Primary School and Portway Community School  and studied for A Levels at the Bristol Post-16 Centre before going up to the University of Plymouth, where he received a bioscience degree and was subsequently elected President of the Students' Union.

Jones worked in the National Health Service in Bristol and Plymouth, including at the Southmead and Henbury Family Practice. He served as a governor on the boards of Plymouth University and the Plymouth NHS Trust, and had a weekly newspaper column in the Plymouth Herald.

Jones later resumed his studies at the University of the West of England, where he was awarded a postgraduate law degree before completing his legal education at the University of Law.

Legal career

Jones specialises in technology law, and initially worked at Womble Bond Dickinson LLP in Bristol, where he developed an advisory practice in the energy and telecommunications sectors, later moving to London to become an in-house counsel with BT, leading on EU-wide legislative projects covering data, privacy, cyber-security, telecommunications and consumer law.

In Bristol, Jones started a successful mentoring programme seeking to bring young people from his old school in Lawrence Weston into the legal profession. He later chaired the Young Lawyers’ Network, a nationwide group campaigning for a vote to remain in the European Union in the 2016 referendum, and sat on the board of UK Legal Futures, which brings together leading lawyers to advise politicians and civil servants on legal questions raised by Brexit.

Early political career

Jones fought what he identifies as his first campaign while at school, in a push to prevent the planned closure of his local sixth-form college. He chaired his university’s Labour Students branch and, following internships with local MPs Alison Seabeck and Linda Gilroy, was selected as Labour’s candidate in the Conservative-held Torridge and West Devon seat at the 2010 general election. Jones sat on the national youth committees of the Co-operative Party and Unite the Union and was later elected to Unite’s Regional Committee in the South West.

In 2012 Jones was selected to contest his home constituency of Bristol North West, which had been gained by the Conservatives in 2010 with Labour falling into third place. At the subsequent election in 2015, Jones emphasised the need for investment in the National Health Service as well as his local credentials — he would have been, and later became, the constituency’s first MP to be born and raised there. Although Jones increased the Labour vote share by 9 percent, the incumbent MP Charlotte Leslie was re-elected on the back of a national swing to the Conservatives.

Following the election, Jones joined the campaign of Labour leadership hopeful Andy Burnham as its South West Co-ordinator, and chaired Marvin Rees’ successful campaign to become Mayor of Bristol. In 2016 he joined the Remain campaign in the EU membership referendum and later worked for the Clinton campaign in Miami during that year’s US Presidential election.

Parliamentary career and political positions

At 2017’s snap general election, Jones — who had been readopted as Labour’s candidate in Bristol North West after securing a sabbatical from his job at BT to stand, assuring his managers that chances of victory were slim — took an absolute majority of the vote on a 9.2 percent swing, a surprise victory he credits in part to his outspoken opposition to Brexit in the heavily remain-voting constituency. In his maiden speech, Jones noted that he was the first Darren ever elected to Parliament.

Following his election, Jones identified softening or stopping Brexit as his “number one obligation,” reflecting that he had won partly thanks to “borrowed” support from pro-European constituents who had not traditionally voted Labour. He supports holding a referendum on any Brexit deal with an option to remain, and has consistently voted in favour of measures to preserve links with the EU, guarantee the residency rights of European citizens, and prevent the UK leaving without a deal. He sits on the European Scrutiny Committee.

Locally Jones has campaigned for greater strategic investment in affordable housing and public transport across Bristol North West, for instance championing local rail projects such as the Henbury Loop Line, and launched a comprehensive North Bristol Transport and Housing Plan in January 2019.

Jones has also drawn attention to the impact of spending cuts, speaking out against library closures and in favour of greater school and sixth form funding, and has repeatedly voted against reductions in the local government grant. He has campaigned on a wide range of other issues including access to childcare for working parents and public sector investment in education, health and frontline policing. He is a frequent champion of workers during industrial disputes, such as the hostile takeover of GKN by Melrose), and took a leading role in successfully securing £12m from AstraZeneca for former employees following the closure of its site in north Bristol. Jones has worked closely with local stakeholders to raise the challenges associated with Brexit and industrial pollution.

Drawing on his expertise as a lawyer, Jones has continued to focus on digital economy and automation issues, partly through his work as a member of the cross-party Science and Technology Committee and as chair of the Parliamentary Internet, Communications and Technology Forum (PICTFOR) and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Connected Places. He is widely recognised as one of the most active parliamentarians on technology policy, notably leading a debate in Westminster Hall on the ethical and other implications of developments in facial recognition technology. He has advocated implementing electronic voting to reduce costs and boost electoral turnout, and suggested Bristol as a trial area. Jones also runs Labour Digital, a centre-left think tank focusing on technology issues; and founded the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, a global not-for-profit network of legislators engaged in discussions around the regulation of AI technologies.

Jones has spoken repeatedly in Parliament about the urgency of tackling climate change — securing an adjournment debate in November 2018, the first on the topic in that Parliamentary session — and acted as the lead member on the Science and Technology Committee’s inquiry on decarbonisation and clean growth. He frequently makes the case for greater interchange between technology and climate policy and advocates for technological solutions to climate issues.

Jones is the Chair of Labour Friends of India, and a parliamentary supporter of Labour Friends of Israel.

Jones has sought to raise awareness of the need to eradicate modern slavery. He is a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association champion, working with counterparts across Commonwealth legislatures to build better multilateral frameworks for tackling human trafficking, and previously led a delegation to East Africa, helping to secure legislative changes as part of support provided by the British government to Kenya.

He has spoken about the persistence of gender inequality and prevalence of sexual harassment.

Following his election Jones set up the Henacre Trust charitable fund, named after the street in Lawrence Weston where he grew up; the Trust awards grants to unlock educational and career opportunities for young people from poorer backgrounds in Bristol North West. In 2019 Jones was nominated for a Patchwork Foundation People's Choice MP of the Year Award for his work in engaging with his constituents though coffee mornings, 'pub politics' sessions, street stalls, town hall-style briefings and popular weekly Q&A sessions live-streamed on Facebook.

Personal life

Jones is married to renewable energy lobbyist and technology entrepreneur Lucy Symons-Jones, who co-founded renewable energy company Village Infrastructure. They have two daughters, and Jones has called for the implementation of electronic or proxy voting in the House of Commons to make Parliament a more attractive workplace for new parents.

Jones is a jazz saxophonist and a practising vegan, also serving as vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Vegetarianism and Veganism.

Menachem Cohen (scholar)

Menachem Cohen (born c. 1928) is an Israeli scholar who worked for over 30 years to correct grammatical errors in the Hebrew Bible. The last attempt at this was in 1525, by Jacob Ben-Hayim. Cohen's work demonstrates the extent to which Judaism venerates every tiny biblical calligraphic notation, to ensure that worldwide communities use exactly the same version of the Old Testament.

Background
According to Jewish law, a Torah is invalid for public reading if even a single letter is incorrect or misplaced, for Jewish law considers each letter as indispensable.

In 1525, in Venice, Jacob Ben-Hayim, editor of the second edition of the Mikraot Gedolot, took it upon himself to fix grammatical errors in the Hebrew Bible. Ben-Hayim's version unified Judaism's varying texts and commentaries on the Bible under one umbrella, and it is this version that has remained the standard version used by generations to this day. However, Ben-Hayim had to rely on inferior manuscripts and commentaries, which caused numerous inaccuracies to appear in his version, and these were only magnified in subsequent editions.

Mission
In 2012, 84-year-old Israeli Judaic scholar Menachem Cohen of the Bible department at Bar-Ilan University finished a 30-year mission to fix all known textual errors in the Hebrew Bible to produce a "truly definitive edition of the Old Testament."

Cohen's edits focused mainly on grammatical errors, such as fixing the accent of a vowel, the letter in a word, or fixing biblical symbols used for accentuation and cantillation (te'amim) which were copied down incorrectly centuries ago.  Cohen used thousands of medieval manuscripts to identify approximately 1,500 inaccuracies in the Hebrew Bible, which he corrected in a 21-volume set. The errors that Cohen found do not alter the meaning of the Bible or have any bearing on its stories. Most errors were not found in the Torah (or Five Books of Moses), which does not include vowel markings or cantillation notations, but rather in the final two-thirds of the Tanakh. Cohen also included the most comprehensive commentaries available, most notably that of Rashi.

Cohen primarily relied on the Aleppo Codex, a thousand-year-old text considered to be the most accurate copy of the Bible. In 1947, a Syrian mob burned the synagogue that was protecting the Codex, and the Codex briefly disappeared before most of it was smuggled out into Israel a decade later.

Cohen has not called for any changes in how traditional Torah scrolls are written, as this would likely result in a "firestorm of objection and criticism," but rather aimed for accuracy in versions used by Hebrew readers for studying.

Cohen said:
The people of Israel took upon themselves, at least in theory, one version of the Bible, down to its last letter...

It was amazing to me that for 500 years, people didn't sense the errors.They just assumed that everything was fine, but in practice everything was not fine...

I want the Bible to be user-friendly.  Today, we can create sources of information and searches that allow you to get an answer to everything you are wondering...

Cohen also stressed that unity and accuracy in the Hebrew Bible were important in order to distinguish the sacred Jewish text from those used by break-away sects, such as the Christians and Samaritans.

In addition, Cohen launched a digital version, with the help of his son Shmuel, a computer programmer, which he hopes will become a benchmark of the Israeli education system.

Rancho Simi

Rancho Simi, also known as Rancho San José de Nuestra Senora de Altagracia y Simi, was a   Spanish land grant in what is now eastern Ventura and western Los Angeles counties given in 1795 to Francisco Javier Pico and his two brothers, Patricio Pico and Miguel Pico by Governor Diego de Borica.  The name derives from Shimiji, the name of the Chumash village in the Simi Valley for thousands of years before the Spanish arrival.

History
Rancho Simi was a Spanish land concession in Alta California given in 1795 to Francisco Javier Pico, a soldier of the Santa Barbara company, and his two brothers, Patricio Pico and Miguel Pico by the Spanish government.

The grant was confirmed in 1842 by Mexican Governor Juan Alvarado. José de la Guerra y Noriega, a Captain of the Santa Barbara Presidio, who had begun to acquire large amounts of land in California to raise cattle, purchased Rancho Simi from the Pico family in 1842.

With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican–American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Simi was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and the grant was patented to José de la Guerra y Noriega in 1865.

A few years after Jose de la Guerra’s death in 1858, the rancho was sold to the Philadelphia and California Petroleum Company headed by Pennsylvania Railroad president, Thomas A. Scott. When no great amount of oil was discovered, Scott began to sell the rancho. In 1887, a portion of the rancho was bought by a newly formed company, the Simi Land and Water Company. The city of Simi Valley, California incorporated in 1969.

Historic sites of the Rancho
Simi Adobe–Strathearn House – home of Robert P. Strathearn served as the rancho headquarters. It is now part of the Strathearn Historical Park and Museum.

The team was founded by father and son duo Hermann and Michael Zele to compete in the regional Interserie. The team ran Formula Opel Lotus cars for Peter Milavec and Christoph Hingartner finishing first and second in the championship standings.

The team made its professional racing debut in the 2002 World Series by Nissan season. Argentine racer Nicolás Filiberti scored the best results for the team. Filiberti's best result was a fourth place at Circuito del Jarama and ended twelfth in the series championship. Receiving sponsorship from Austrian asset management firm Superfund Group the team returned in the series for 2003. The team scored mixed results with one podium finish for Norbert Siedler. Siedler finished fifteenth in the series standings as the best Zele Racing driver. Christiano Rocha scored podium finishes in the Euro Formula 3000 series, the later Auto GP, in 2004.

Zele Racing was in charge developing the stillborn Formula Superfund series. The series was intended to start for the 2005 season racing the Force 10 SF01 car replacing the Italian Formula 3000 championship. Patrick Lemarié tested the car at Estoril. Lemarié had a heavy crash and the series was therefor suspended indefinitely.

Between 2007 and 2012 the team focused on the Interserie, EuroBOSS and BOSS GP series. In 2010 the team won the final season of the original EuroBOSS series. The teams drivers Damien Charveriat and Andreas Zuber each won two races of the season that was canceled after four races. The drivers ran Dallara GP2/05 chassis, previously used in the GP2 Series until 2008.

Motopark Academy

Zele Racing and Motopark Academy entered a partnership for the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup and the 2008 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. Michael Zele supported Motopark Academy with race engineering services. In the Northern European Cup Motopark Academy drivers Valtteri Bottas and António Félix da Costa finished first and second in the championship standings. The Eurocup drivers were less successful.

Epsilon Euskadi

Michael Zele was the race engineer for Stéphane Richelmi in the 2009 British Formula Three Championship racing with Barazi-Epsilon. Richelmis best result were two twelfth-place finishes. Zele also supported the team at the 2009 1000 km of Spa, the second round of the 2009 Le Mans Series. The team finished the race fourth in the LMP2 class with their Zytek 07S/2. However the car did not comply with technical regulations and was disqualified.

Auto GP
The Austrian racing team returned to the professional racing circuit in 2012 entering the Auto GP series. During their inaugural, 2012, season the team entered seven different drivers over their two cars. Giacomo Ricci and Sergio Campana scored the best results for the team, both with a third-place finish. Ricci scored the podium finish at Marrakech while Campana scored his podium finish at Sonoma.

In 2013 the team started the season with reigning FIA Formula Two champion Luciano Bacheta and former Formula 1 driver Narain Karthikeyan. Bacheta delivered the first race win, at Marrakech. Karthikeyan left the team after the Hungarian round. Karthikeyan felt frustrated with mistakes by the team during pitstops and technical preparation. Bacheta left the team after four rounds to focus on a possible GP2 Series move. Christian Klien replaced Bacheta for Mugello, along with Tamás Pál Kiss. The team did not race until the final round at Brno.

Tamás Pál Kiss remained for the majority of the 2014 season, winning at Paul Ricard. At Imola Kiss came in for a pit stop without the team knowing, this cost the Hungarian valuable points. After the difficult Imola weekend Kiss did not return with the team. The team stated financial difficulties as the reason for his absence.

The creation of the Formula Acceleration 1, which uses the same car as the Auto GP, caused both racing grids to shrink. This continued for the 2015 Auto GP season. At the start of the season the two championships had the intention to merge, but this did not come to fruition. The 2015 season opener fielded only eight cars, three of which entered by Zele Racing. With only seven cars at the second round of the championship, the remainder of the season was canceled. Antônio Pizzonia had the best results and was unofficially crowned champion. The series was revived for 2016, but again with very small grids. After the first round of the season the championship merged with BOSS GP.

Soring

Soring is the use of chemicals or mechanical devices to cause pain to the front feet and legs of horses when they touch the ground.  This results in the horses picking up their front feet higher and faster than they would do naturally. It is illegal in the U.S. under the Horse Protection Act of 1970. It is closely associated with a unique high-stepping action of the front legs called "big lick" movement in show ring  Tennessee Walking Horses.  Under normal circumstances, "big lick" action is normally created by horseshoes that have added pads and weight (sometimes called "stacks"), usually combined with additional weighted chains or rollers placed around the pasterns to create dramatic, high-stepping flashy action of the horse's front legs, desired in the horse show ring.  Practitioners of soring do so because they believe that the pain associated with this practice exaggerates the "big lick" to a greater degree and gives them a competitive edge over other horses.  Other breeds that have a history of soring including the Racking Horse and the Spotted Saddle Horse.

History

During the late 1940s and early 1950s, when Tennessee Walking Horses enjoyed a surge of widespread popularity with the general public, exaggerated front leg action, especially at the running walk, drew spectators to horse shows and helped increase the popularity of the breed.  This action was also rewarded by judges.  This began the rage for "big lick" movement. While "lite shod" horses with naturally good movement could comfortably perform this crowd-pleasing gait at the time, it took both natural ability and considerable time to properly train and condition the horse.

Some individuals, wishing to produce similar movement in less-talented horses or in less time, borrowed practices used by other breeds to enhance movement. This included action devices such as weighted shoes, "stacks" (stacked pads), and the use of weighted chains around the pasterns, all of which, within certain limits, were allowed.

As these methods produced horses that won in the show ring, and as ever-higher and more dramatic action was rewarded by the judges, some trainers turned to less savory methods to produce high action in a hurry. These methods include excessively heavy weighted chains, use of tacks deliberately placed under the shoe into the "white line," or quick, of the hoof, trimming the sole of the hoof to the point that it bleeds or is bruised, increasing the weight of the stacked pads by driving in a large number of concealed nails and the controversial practice of "soring", which is the application of a caustic chemical agent to the pastern of the front legs to cause pain when the chains bang against the pastern with every step. The outcome of these practices is so much pain in the horse's front hooves that the horse snatches its feet off the ground as fast as possible in an attempt to alleviate the pain. Correspondingly, the horse steps under itself as far as possible with its hind legs to relieve the forelegs of weight. This results in the "squatting" body outline (hindquarters extremely lowered, forelegs flung very high) typical of the "big lick" horse. Such abuses are illegal under the Horse Protection Act of 1970, but are still practiced.

Measures have been taken to stop the practice, and many supporters of the Tennessee Walking Horse have organized to oppose soring. The HPA, created specifically to stop such practices and to monitor the Tennessee Walking Horse in particular, prohibits the use of soring agents. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), part of the USDA, is working with the industry to enforce the law. Tennessee Walking Horse organizations send designated qualified persons (DQPs) to shows to inspect the horses, and, as funding permits, APHIS sends federally employed veterinary medical officers to work with DQPs at some shows.

Trainers who oppose soring have formed and joined alternative breed organizations, including the National Walking Horse Association (NWHA) and Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH). All of these organizations promote the sound Tennessee Walking Horse.  In addition, in 2005, the national directors of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association (TWHBEA) voted to remove themselves from the National Horse Show Commission (NHSC), the sanctioning body closest to the soring issues. The TWHBEA formed its own sanctioning body, developed a new rule book and strict guidelines for affiliated horse shows and Horse Industry Organizations [HIO] that applied and were examined by the APHIS. The issue remains very controversial, particularly in  Kentucky and Tennessee.

Methods and clinical signs
Soring has been declared "cruel" and "inhumane" by the United States Congress. Similarly, the  American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has described it as  "inhumane" and "unethical".

The legal definition of soring in the Horse Protection Act of 1970 is:

(A) an irritating or blistering agent has been applied, internally or externally, by a person to any limb of a horse, (B) any burn, cut, or laceration has been inflicted by a person on any limb of a horse, (C) any tack, nail, screw, or chemical agent has been injected by a person into or used by a person on any limb of a horse, or (D) any other substance or device has been used by a person on any limb of a horse or a person has engaged in a practice involving a horse, and, as a result of such application, infliction, injection, use, or practice, such horse suffers, or can reasonably be expected to suffer, physical pain or distress, inflammation, or lameness when walking.

Clinical signs of a sored horse include:
 The horse stands with its feet close together, shifting its weight to its hind legs.
 Granulation tissue or scars are visible on the pasterns or coronet band.
 Wavy hair growth or hair loss is visible in the pastern area.
 The horse's pasterns have darker hair than the rest of the horse's coat.
 The horse carries its hocks low and may twist them outward when moving.
 The horse lies down for extended periods of time, and is resistant to standing up.
 The horse resists handling of its hooves.
 The horse has difficulty walking, and may fall.

Chemical soring and pressure shoeing
One method of soring involves using chemical agents such as mustard oil, kerosene, and other caustic substances on the pasterns, bulbs of the heel, or coronary bands of the horses, causing burning or blistering of the horses' legs  to accentuate their gaits. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is sometimes added to increase the effect. The treated area is then often wrapped in plastic while the chemicals are absorbed. The chemical agents cause extreme pain, and usually lead to scarring. A distinctive scarring pattern is a characteristic indication of soring, so practitioners may attempt to disguise the scarring with a dye, or the horse's legs may be treated with salicylic acid to reduce scarring.  These chemicals are harmful, usually quite toxic, and sometimes carcinogenic, such that practitioners must use a brush and wear gloves when applying them.

Other methods of soring include pressure shoes, where the hoof is trimmed to the quick so that the sole is in direct contact with the pad or shoe. The horse may then be "road foundered", ridden up and down hard surfaces on the over-trimmed hooves, until they are very sore. Trainers sometimes place objects, such as metal beads, nails, or screws, under the pad, causing intense pressure, although this practice has begun to decrease with the use of fluoroscopy to detect such methods. Abusive use of chains (such as using them with chemical soring agents) is also a common practice.

Action devices

"Action devices" include "stacks"—multiple pads between hoof and horseshoe; and "chains"— bracelet-like chains or rollers placed around the pastern. Illegal use occurs if irritants have been placed on the same area of the horse's foot or leg.  The movement of a chain over a chemically traumatised area of the leg increases the painful response, resulting in the exaggerated gait.

Soring is always illegal, but allowing use of chains varies depending on the show-sanctioning organization. The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), the national governing body for equestrian sport in the U.S., disallows action devices in the show ring for all recognized national breed affiliates. However, the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association, which sanctions many shows, is not affiliated with the USEF and has different rules.

New legislation to update the HPA may lead to restrictions on these devices.

 Chains: Bracelet-like chains are attached around the front pasterns of the horse, but to be legal, must weigh no more than . They are intended to be used with a lubricant to allow them to slide easily along the pastern.  Users of chains do not believe they cause the horse pain, stating that it creates a similar feeling as a loose bracelet would around the wrist of a person. However, studies indicate they may be harmful above a certain weight. In 1982, a study at Auburn University examined the health effects of action devices on gaited horses through the use of thermography. The researchers conclude that chains "altered thermal patterns as early as day 2 of exercise with chains. These altered thermal patterns persisted as long as chains were used," with normal thermal patterns not seen until after 20 days of recovery. A stallion in the study developed lesions from  chains, after wearing them in nine 15-minute exercise periods over 11 days. The Auburn study showed that 2-, 4-, and 6-ounce chains (55, 115, and 170 g) produced no adverse effects in the horses being studied. A  chain is the legal weight of chain allowed in NHSC horse shows.

 Stacks are composed of multiple hoof-shaped pads, (wafer-like hoof-shaped objects) usually made of plastic, although they can also be made of leather, rubber or polyurethane.  Ordinary pads are added under a horse's natural hoof, with a horseshoe at ground level.  While single, relatively thin pads, either flat or with a small wedge-shaped, are used with horseshoes in many circumstances and can protect the sole of the hoof or make simple alterations to action. But in this context, as an action device, stacks (also called  "performance packages") are built-up sets of multiple pads, sometimes of a combination of materials, and can even be made of wood.  They vary in height; they may be up to  thick in the heel and no more than  thick in the toe.  Pads that are built up on a horseshoe have a metal band that runs across the front of the hoof to help keep them on the horse's foot. This design is an extension of a base shoe, and can be taken off or changed without having to completely re-shoe the horse.  While the design is intended to exaggerate the horse's action, the shape of the stacks and added weight to the horse's foot cause the foot to strike with more force and at an abnormal angle.  Soring occurs when items are concealed between the pad and hoof such that painful pressure occurs to the sole of the hoof making the horse lift its feet faster and higher.  Permissible thickness` and weight vary between categories of competition.

The use of pads is controversial. Some criticize the band that holds the pad on, which they believe cuts into the hoof and may wear a slot into it. However, trainers commonly loosen the band when the horse is not being exercised, which may minimize the problem. Under normal conditions, if a pad is lost, it usually only affects the pad and not the base shoe, which remains intact.  Injuries are usually very limited from "throwing" a set of pads.  It is dangerous if a horse wearing pads pulls off a shoe, as not only will the pad come off, but the band may tear off part of the hoof wall. Horses wearing pads should not be turned out.

Current status and legislation

Soring has been prohibited at sales and shows for decades, but is still practiced. It can be detected by observing the horse for lameness, assessing its stance, and palpating the lower legs. Some trainers can bypass inspectors by training horses not to react to the pain that palpation may cause, often by severely punishing the horse for flinching after the sored area is palpated. The practice is sometimes called "stewarding" in reference to the horse show steward, who is often the first line of rule enforcement at any horse show. Trainers may also time the use of the agents so that chemicals will not be detected when the horse is examined, but will be in effect when the rider goes into the ring. Others use topical anesthetics, which are timed to wear off before the horse goes into the show ring.  Pressure shoeing is also used, eliminating use of chemicals altogether. Trainers who sore their horses leave the show grounds when they find that the more stringent federal inspectors are present.

In 2006, due to new techniques in both soring and detection, the USDA began a larger crackdown on soring within the industry. A new device known as a "sniffer" (also used to detect the chemical presence of bombs in airport security) can now be employed, where swabbed samples are taken from the horse and then "sniffed".  At the 2006 Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration, the longstanding dispute between trainers and USDA inspectors came to a head.  The inspectors disqualified six of ten horses from showing on the night of Friday, August 25, 2006.  The trainers denied soring and challenged the monitoring methods.  The result was that a number of celebration championship classes were canceled, and considerable controversy over the situation still exists.  After a yearlong discussion between the industry and the USDA over the issues raised at the 2006 show, the 2007 championship went off without significant controversy.

An investigation by ABC News into the training methods of Tennessee Walking Horses revealed that many horses had been tortured and beaten to make them produce their signature high-stepping gait. In a video shot by the Humane Society of the United States, high-profile trainer Jackie McConnell is seen beating horses, using electric cattle prods, and soring their hooves with caustic chemicals. Additionally, a random inspection by the Department of Agriculture at the 2011 annual championship found that all of the 52 horses inspected had a foreign substance applied to their front hooves, either to cause pain or hide it.

In June 2012, the American Association of Equine Practitioners and the American Veterinary Medical Association jointly issued a call to ban both action devices (chains, rollers, etc.) and "performance packages", e.g. stacks or pads.

At the 2013 Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, USDA testing showed that 67% of the horses tested positive for substances that could be used to hide soring.

Legal cases

Jackie McConnell, a Tennessee Walking Horse trainer, owns Whittier Stables in Collierville, Tennessee. Once a prominent figure in the industry and hall of fame trainer, in 2012 McConnell pleaded guilty to 12 counts of animal cruelty and of violating the federal Horse Protection Act. Formal sanctions were imposed on Jackie McConnell by the US Department of Agriculture pursuant to the Horse Protection Act numerous times between 1979 and 2012. According to Roy Exum of The Chattanoogan, "McConnell has a known record that includes over 30 unbroken years of persistent violations of the federal Horse Protection Act, but because laws have been so lax, he has done little more than wink and continue on his way."

In 1986, McConnell was named Trainer of the Year by the Walking Horse Trainers Association. However, he had a long history of violations:   In September 1998, McConnell entered a sored horse, Regal By Generator, in the 1998 Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration and received a civil fine of $2,200 and a five-year disqualification from October 31, 2006, through October 30, 2011. In September 1989, McConnell was charged for exhibiting Executive Order (owned by Floyd Sherman) in the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration in Shelbyville while sore. For that offense, he received a $2,000 civil fine and a two-year disqualification from March 19, 1995, through March 18, 1997. In May 1979, he entered the sored horse Threat's Black Power in the Ninth Annual Fun Show in Shelbyville, Tennessee. A USDA veterinarian classified this horse as the "sorest horse at the show," having an "exhausted, steaming, defeated appearance" and testified that the horse's front legs were covered with raised scars that when touched were found to be "very sore" causing "extreme pain." McConnell received a $750 civil penalty and a six-month disqualification from September 9, 1985, through March 8, 1986. McConnell was also disqualified for a violation of a unilateral sore (September 12, 2006 to September 25, 2006). McConnell was disqualified for a violation of the scar rule (September 6, 2005 to September 19, 2005). He was disqualified for a NHSC 5 Pt. Exam Score (August 8, 2004 to August 21, 2004). He was disqualified for a bilateral sore from August 31, 2003, to April 30, 2004. He was disqualified for a unilateral sore from October 6, 2002 to October 19, 2002. McConnell was disqualified for violation of terms of a five-year USDA disqualification and suspended from November 19, 2009, to May 18, 2010.

In April and May 2011, an undercover investigator shot footage at McConnell's stable. The footage revealed two workers, Jeff Dockery and John Mays, applying caustic substances that cause soring to horses' legs and hooves and beating the animals with a wooden beam and an electric cattle prod to make them stand still during leg palpation.  Soon after the undercover footage was released, state authorities raided McConnell's barn. After ABC News aired the footage, McConnell was banned for life from the Tennessee Walking Horse organization's biggest event and stricken from its hall of fame.

In September 2012, McConnell was found in violation of the federal Horse Protection Act; he was sentenced to three years probation and fined $75,000. McConnell faced 52 counts of transporting and showing abused horses. He pleaded guilty to a single charge of animal cruelty in an agreement with prosecutors. US District Judge Harry Sandlin Mattice Jr. accepted McConnell's plea. McConnell faced up to five years in prison if the agreement had not been accepted. He was required by the court to write a letter about the soring of horses, the pain it causes, the long-term effects, and its widespread use.

McConnell also pleaded guilty in state court to 12 of 22 counts of animal cruelty in 2012. He was sentenced to one year of house arrest and a $25,000 fine. The Circuit Judge Weber McGraw sentenced Jackie McConnell and two co-defendants in July 2013. Jeff Dockery pleaded guilty to three counts of animal cruelty and John K. Mays to fourteen. Dockery was sentenced to three years of probation and Mays to four years of probation.  Under the state plea agreement, McConnell is not allowed to either own or train horses for 20 years. The judge gave McConnell 120 days to sell his two remaining horses. According to The Commercial Appeal, "This is the second time all three men have pleaded guilty rather than face trial."

In 2013 Lee and Mike McGartland entered a horse named The Royal Dollar in the 74th annual Red Carpet Show of the South. The Royal Dollar placed third in its class, but during a post-show inspection, a veterinary officer of the U.S. Department of Agriculture determined that The Royal Dollar was sore.  From 2013 to 2016, the McGartlands received further official warnings and were identified as "violators" on the USDA web site. They sued the USDA, on the grounds that "the enforcement program denies due process to those accused of violations and breaks privacy laws by publishing personal information."  their case remains pending, but their lawsuit may be linked to the removal of records of animal welfare cases from the USDA's web site.

Chelodina canni

Chelodina canni, known as Cann's snake-necked turtle, is an Australian species found in the northern and northeastern parts of the continent. It has a narrow zone of hybridization with its related species the eastern snake-necked turtle, Chelodina longicollis. For many years this species was assumed to be the same species as Chelodina novaeguineae from New Guinea, however recently it has been shown that these two species differ both morphologically and genetically. Hence it was separated and described as a unique species in 2002.

Taxonomy
Order: Testudines Linnaeus, 1758
Suborder: Pleurodira Cope, 1864
Family: Chelidae Ogilby, 1905
Subfamily: Chelodininae Baur, 1893: 211

Type data - Holotype: NTM 24515; an adult female (carapace length, CL = 215.3mm; carapace width, CW8 = 167.2mm), preserved in alcohol; collected with the help of local aboriginal people at Malogie Waterhole, near Scarlet Hill on Kalala Station (16° 08' S, 133° 36' E), Northern Territory, Australia.

Etymology - This species is named in honour of John Robert Cann (born 1938) of Sydney, Australia for his lifetime of work with the freshwater turtles of Australia.

Taxonomic History - For many years this species was considered to be a secondary and disjunct population of Chelodina novaeguineae Boulenger, 1888. In recent years many started to believe that this was not the case. An attempt to describe it as Chelodina rankini was made by Wells and Wellington (1985) however this was shown to be a nomen nudum by Iverson et al., 2001, the species was finally described by William McCord and Scott Thomson in 2002.

Subfamilies were resurrected for this family after it was discovered that the South American and Australian members are reciprocally monophyletic, that is they each have their nearest relatives within the continent (Georges et al., 1998).

Description

Adults can be diagnosed by the wide, rounded carapace with a moderately deep midvertebral trough; a median carapacial keel either absent or minimal, being most observable in the eastern populations; a wide plastron with dark seams on an otherwise uniformly yellow plastron; first and second marginal scutes equal or nearly equal in dorsal surface area; wide head with a red to pink suffusion on the head, neck, and limbs; and bluntly pointed neck tubercles. Hatchlings have an extensive orange-red ventral head, neck, and plastral pattern extending well onto the dorsal aspect of the marginal scutes.

Distribution
Chelodina canni is known from the Roper River drainage (including Maria Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria) in Northern Territory, eastward through the drainages of the Gulf of Carpentaria in north west Queensland. In Cape York it is found in drainages from Cairns in the north down to Rockhampton in the south where a narrow hybrid zone with Chelodina longicollis is found (Georges et al., 2002)
