Wando County (Wando-gun) is a county in South Jeolla Province, South Korea. It takes its name from the island of Wando, which is the largest island within the county and serves as the county seat. Wando island is perhaps most famous for Cheonghaejin, the former headquarters of Jang Bogo, a 9th century Korean historical figure whose private fleet and army dominated the sea routes in the Yellow Sea. Wando's most famous native in modern times is champion golfer K.J. Choi.

Wando was bred by Gustav Schickedanz at his farm Schomberg Farms in Schomberg, Ontario and ridden mainly by jockey Patrick Husbands. The chestnut stallion raced with moderate success as a four-year-old, and was then retired on 12 May 2005 to stand at stud at Lane's End Farm near Lexington, Kentucky. In 2011, the stallion returned to Schomberg, where he died of a heart attack on 20 January 2014. He is buried at Schomberg Farms.
Of Wando's 23 starts, he won 11, placed in 2, and came third in 2. His career earnings amounted $2,563,038.

Chora (woreda)
Chora is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Illubabor Zone, Chora is bordered on the south by the Jimma Zone, on the west by Yayu, on the northwest by Supena Sodo, on the north by Dega, and on the east by Bedele. The major town in Chora is Kumbabe.
Coffee is an important cash crop of this woreda. Over 50 square kilometers are planted with this crop.
Demographics
The 2007 national census reported a total population for this woreda of 100,506, of whom 49,784 were men and 50,722 were women; 7,715 or 7.68% of its population were urban dwellers. The majority of the inhabitants were Moslem, with 61.1% of the population reporting they observed this belief, while 25.11% practised Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, and 13.66% of the population said they were Protestant.
Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 318,483, of whom 160,504 are men and 157,979 are women; 9,545 or 8.06% of its population are urban dwellers, which is less than the Zone average of 12%. With an estimated area of 947.19 square kilometers, Chora has an estimated population density of 125.1 people per square kilometer, which is greater than the Zone average of 72.3.
Horde (software)
Horde is a free web-based groupware.
The components of this groupware rest on the Horde framework. This PHP-based framework provides all the elements required for rapid web application development.
Horde offers applications such as the Horde IMP email client, a groupware package (calendar, notes, tasks, file manager), a wiki and a time and task tracking software.
History
The Horde framework evolved from the IMP (Internet Messaging Project) webmail that Chuck Hagenbuch published on Freshmeat in 1998. A constant stream of feature requests not all fitting for a webmail application led to the development of a more generic web application backbone: the Horde framework. The first announcement on Freshmeat was version 1.3.3 at the beginning of 2001. The release of Horde 2.0 and IMP 3.0 was the first one with two truly separate components.
Horde as a generic web application framework primarily supported the webmail as well as a set of groupware applications by the time Horde 3.0 was released in 2004. The modular and flexible nature of the software allowed many service providers and packagers to integrate the software into their portfolio. Horde is the software used for webmail offered by SAPO which serves several million users. The software has been packaged for all major Linux distributions and is available as a component in hosting tools such as Plesk or cPanel.
