A bridge graft is used to supply nutrients to the rootstock of a woody perennial when the full thickness of the bark has been removed from part of the trunk. This is because the innermost layer of the bark, called the phloem, is living tissue that is required to transport the sugars produced by photosynthesis down to the roots.    

This wound is often caused by rabbits or other rodents, stripping the bark away and girdling the tree.  The inability of the plant to transport food manufactured in the leaves down to the root system causes the root system to die after they have used up any stored nutrients.  The lack of a root system causes the upper portions of the plant to die. Where one-quarter or less of the trunk circumference has been girdled, it may not be necessary to use this technique.  It is also difficult on small caliper tree trunks.  A bridge graft uses scions to 'bridge' the gap.  Each scion is taper cut in order to accommodate the need for matching the cambium layers of the scion with those of the tree to which it is being grafted.  It is also vital that the scions be placed so that the end which was closest to their own roots before they were cut is at the bottom of the graft, and the end which was closest to the growing tip is at the top.  If they are not placed this way the cells in the scion are upside down and it will eventually die.  Once in place the graft wounds must be completely sealed.  This is both to prevent moving of tissues which would inhibit them from joining together and infection of the site which would lead to the death of the scions.

Steps 

This link to an Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Factsheet gives details and diagrams for the technique.
 However, modern arboriculture suggests that the application of pruning paints and wound dressings can inhibit the trees' natural defenses, so a person attempting this technique may try it without the application of wound dressing prior to the graft insertion.  Most trees will produce callus tissues compartmentalize the wounded area.  This natural defense is stimulated by environmental factors which may include the presence of the 'first arrivals' of fungi and bacteria on the wet wound.  For more about this natural protection refer to 'New Tree Biology'

"Come a Little Closer" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Dierks Bentley.  It was released in July 2005 as the second single from his 2005 album Modern Day Drifter.  The song went to number one on the U.S. Country chart and held that position for the chart weeks of December 3 and December 10, 2005. On the chart for December 17, the song fell to number two when Joe Nichols' "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" replaced it at the top spot. The song then returned to number 1 for a third and final week on the chart dated December 24.  The song was written by Bentley and Brett Beavers.

Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Bentley "shows he has a way with a ballad on this sultry number. The sensual tone and sexy lyric hark back to those envelope-pushing Conway Twitty hits that once raised eyebrows. She goes on to compare the song to Twitty's, "I'd Love to Lay You Down." On Bentley's vocals she says that he "brings warmth to a decidedly sensual lyric." Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating. He said that Bentley doesn't quite have the vocal maturity to pull this song off but he is getting there.

Music video
The music video was directed by David McClister and was filmed in Nashville in a warehouse. Dierks Bentley's love interest was played by Bonnie-Jill Laflin.

Chart positions
"Come a Little Closer" debuted at number 49 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs for the week of July 30, 2005.

Ross Schunk (born April 28, 1986 in Portland, Oregon) is an American soccer player who last played for Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer.

Career

College and Amateur
Schunk attended Woodrow Wilson High School, where he acquired his skills under the training of Don Juan Mercado. At a young age, Ross was known for his outstanding crossbar and soccer-tennis skills. Although widely speculated, it's known by many living in southwest Portland, Schunk developed his skills from the founding members of Gabe Academy (Don Juan Mercado and Shiloh were two of the founding fathers, among others). Ross would spend summers in Gabriel Park getting hustled by Shiloh. Many credit this with his playful spirit and love for the game, because the games were always just that: fun. No collecting ever took place.

He played college soccer at the University of Redlands from 2005 to 2008. He led his team in goals, assists and points in his junior year in 2007, and was named to the All-Far West Third-Team, the All-West First-Team, the All-SCIAC First Team, and was a Second-Team All-American. He finished his college career as a two-time Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year, and with 126 points, making him Redlands' all-time career points leader.

Schunk also played for the Los Angeles Legends in the USL Premier Development League where he was a prolific goalscorer, netting 15 times in 27 games during his two years with the team.

Professional
Schunk was the only NCAA Division III player invited to the 2009 MLS combine; he was drafted in the fourth round (47th overall) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft by Colorado Rapids, and signed a professional contract on March 13, 2009.

He made his professional debut on April 7, 2009, in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against Los Angeles Galaxy. He made his MLS debut on June 6, 2009, as a late substitute in a game against Real Salt Lake.

Schunk was also briefly sent on loan to USL Second Division club Real Maryland Monarchs in May 2009.

Schunk was waived by Colorado on 24 November 2010.

On November 19, 2015, an assailant approached the entrance of a Tel Aviv synagogue at prayer time, and stabbed and killed two worshipers. The attacker was arrested.

Attack
At approximately 14:00 pm, the assailant approached the entrance to the informal prayer room located in a South Tel Aviv building during afternoon prayers. Worshippers inside the synagogue became aware of the attack when a man covered in blood staggered into the room and someone shouted, "There's a terrorist." Some worshipers assisted the wounded man while the other men who had been praying rushed to close the door, leaning against it to prevent the attacker from entering. When the terrorist ceased attempting to shove the door open, they rushed out with makeshift weapons to try to subdue him.

Context
This attack shocked the nation coming, as it did, after a period of calm, free of terror attacks. According to the Jewish non-governmental organization ADL, it was "the bloodiest day in Israel since this latest round of Palestinian violence began back in September."

This was the first attack to be carried out by a Palestinian who had successfully passed through the security screening process and obtained a permit to work in Israel.

Impact
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories responded by suspending 1,200 entry permits to Israel, for Palestinians from the Hebron area.

Victims
Aharon Yesiab (Yesayev) (32), dead at the scene.
Reuven Aviram (51), who died within hours, in hospital.

Assailant
The attacker, Raid Halil bin Mahmoud (36), father of five, was arrested and identified as an Arab from the town of Dura.   He had recently been granted a permit to work in a Tel Aviv restaurant, but told authorities that his purpose in getting the permit had been to kill Jews.  The attacker had been granted the work permit enabling him to enter Israel only 4 days before he stabbed two men to death at the synagogue.  The assailant was indicted for murder on 13 December 2015.

Responses
 Hamas stated, "We welcome the heroic operation in Tel Aviv that killed two people... We call on the Palestinians to continue such activities."
 The attacker's mother stated: "My son is a source of pride for Hebron and Palestine."

The Israeli government demolished Raid Halil bin Mahmoud's West Bank home in response to the attack.

Abraham of Clermont (died  479) was the founder and abbot of the monastery of St.Cyriacus in Clermont-Ferrand.

He was born in Byzantine Syria, along the Euphrates River and was of Persian origins. He later left for Byzantine Egypt, to visit some of the hermits there. On the way to Egypt, he was captured and held a prisoner for five years. After escaping, he went to Gaul and founded a new community of monks near the basilica of Saint Cyricus not far from St. Illidius church (St.Allyre) near Clermont. He died around 479. Apollinaris Sedonius, bishop of Clermont wrote an epitaph on the grave of St. Abraham from which we learned some facts from saint's life.

Veneration
His feast day is celebrated on June 15. He is also a patron saint against fever.

Wagina Island (also Wiginna Island sometimes spelled Vaghena Island) is a small island in the country of Solomon Islands. The easiest way to reach Wagina is by plane to Kaghau Airport, Choiseul Province, from Honiara (currently twice a week). From Kagau it takes only 45 – 60 minutes by OBM to Wagina.

Population
There are three villages in Wagina: Kukutin, Arariki and Nikumaroro. The inhabitants of this island are ethnic I-Kiribati (Micronesians), who were relocated to the British Solomon Islands Protectorate from the islands of Orona (Hull Island) and Nikumaroro (Gardener Island) in the 1950s. This was subsequent to them having been settled on these previously uninhabited islands in the Phoenix Islands from various islands in the Gilberts archipelago in the 1930s. The original resettlement in the 1930s was on alleged grounds of overcrowding, particularly on drought-prone islands in the southern Gilberts. The second resettlement was on alleged grounds of the islands in the Phoenix group having harsh living conditions and also being prone to drought, although remoteness and costs falling on the colonial administration also played parts.
