The road controversy in the Colorado National Monument indicates that local conflicts are often the result of years of interaction between adjacent communities and the National Park Service. Former Superintendent Robert Benton observed that the road conflict was inevitable because the administration of the park over the years shifted from "laissez-faire" to restrictive as the park gained more prestige. People accustomed to a certain degree of freedom when using the park's facilities were irritated by Benton's more restrictive stance.  Former Superintendent Dennis Huffman perceived the road conflict on a wider scale. He noted that local conflicts often obstruct protective legislation for national parks. Echoing a problem that was evident throughout the Monument's history, Huffman observed that because the superintendent's role is not clear to local residents, friction develops between those communities and the National Park Service, especially in the West.
Surprisingly, the road controversy did not affect Monument operations in any significant manner. Fee collection returned to what it had been prior to the affidavit policy.  The road controversy was significant, however, in terms of the interaction between local residents and the Park Service. As this study has indicated, the development of the Monument was unique. Local involvement was prevalent in both the park's establishment and in the construction of Rim Rock Drive. The location of the Monument is also somewhat unique. Because Colorado National Monument, unlike most Western national parks, is surrounded by several well-populated communities, the local element forms an integral part of the park's daily management. The lawsuit revealed that the conflict between local residents and the Park Service was inevitable. No one can dispute the importance of the local role in the creation of the Monument in 1911. The result of this contribution, however, was unrealistic expectations once the park was fully developed. For example, throughout the lawsuit, local residents appeared to have forgotten that they took full advantage of the benefits of the federal funding supporting the road project during the depression era. Local residents supported the park when it was convenient for them, but once the Park Service regulated use of the park, their needs became unreasonable. Why, for instance, should the Park Service be responsible for maintaining a federal road for the county's use? The lawsuit revealed that the nature of the local role in Colorado National Monument's history led to such an arrangement. The lawsuit also revealed that the local population's needs and perceptions of the federal government had changed a great deal between 1911 and 1986. Whereas once the community worked desperately to create the Monument, recent populations often displayed a contempt for Park Service regulations and policy that threatened the future development of the Monument.
Park Service officials, on the other hand, are not without fault. For the first few decades of the Monument's existence, the Park Service played a cursory role in its management and development. So, from the very start, local park promoters were left with the responsibility of managing the park, which included a crude form of law enforcement and development of trails, a road, and other facilities. Once the Park Service did become involved in the Monument, its policies were often shaped by local conditions. The Park Service was responsible for allowing wood-hauling (in Otto's time), stock drives, and commercial traffic on Rim Rock Drive to take place. In addition, it instituted a fee policy based on the good faith of its adjacent neighbors. Unfortunately, Park Service attempts to accommodate local needs with a flexible fee policy backfired.
Conflicts at the Monument during the 1980s and early 1990s continued to reflect elements of the typical western attitude toward the federal government. In 1986, Superintendent Huffman made the unpopular decision to ban the "Tour of the Moon," a stage of the Coors International Bicycle Classic held annually in the Monument. Unruly race fans, and the fact that the park was closed for a half-day were some of the reasons Huffman chose to cancel the race. His explanation indicated that many local residents still exhibited the proprietary attitude toward the park that had existed since Otto's time: "I realize that the park is here in Grand Junction's backyard. But people from Tennessee have just as much claim to it."  Deemed one of the most popular events on the Western Slope, the bike race was a natural moneymaker for the Grand Valley at the height of tourist season. Many local residents were enraged by Huffman's decision, but he stood by it.
Another local/Park Service conflict emerged in 1987, when the Park Service solicited the aid of then Congressman Ben Nighthorse Campbell regarding the possible expansion of the Colorado National Monument.  Encompassing 32,460 additional acres west of the present park, the expansion was expected to redesignate the Monument into a National Park.  In 1989, Congress directed the Park Service to conduct a study of the proposed addition, which included Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness Study Area and other lands west of the park. The study essentially focused on two areas: "natural, cultural, and recreational resources", and "possible boundary and management alternatives." It presented four alternatives: two that proposed expansion of the Monument, and two that envisioned continued Bureau of Land Management control over the area.  During the week of January 23, 1989, public meetings were held in Montrose, Grand Junction, Delta and Glade Park to discuss the expansion alternatives. In preparation for the meeting, the Park Service distributed over 1,400 brochures and 200 news releases to both the public and the media.
Even the Park Service's report anticipated opposition when it included a section describing the local attitude toward federal involvement: "Many residents resent control of land or any kind of outside interference. Government participation in projects is generally solicited only when problems cannot be resolved locally."  Local opposition was widespread. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was perhaps the most vociferous in its opposition, since the land in question was under its authority at that time. BLM chief, Delos "Cy" Jamison, promised to fight the expansion, as he felt that the BLM's land-use policy offered more flexibility to visitors.  Other groups, such as Ducks Unlimited, the Colorado Bowhunters Association, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Society, and the Colorado Wildlife Federation also fought the expansion.  Glade Park residents were concerned that if the Park Service acquired the land, recreational use of the area would be too restrictive.
While the BLM and local residents worried that their recreational freedom was threatened, Park Service officials countered that resources, including some archaeological, might not be protected as well under the BLM.  Local proponents of the expansion, such as the Concerned Citizens Resource Association and the chamber of commerce, believed that expansion would increase tourism.  To date, this issue has not been resolved. Nevertheless, it serves as another instance in which strong local opposition has played a role in Park Service decision-making.
Between 1989 and 1990, a long-standing conflictthat of the stock driveway through the parkfinally climaxed. In use long before the park was established, stock drives through portions of the park had been tolerated by the Park Service for years. In November 1989, ranchers Dahl Aubert and Jim Young asked the Park Service if they could use the stock driveway, which had not been in use for a number of years. Originating north of the Glade Park Store, the trail cut across the park and eventually descended into the valley just north of Fruita. When Superintendent Jimmy Taylor researched the issue, he found that a right-of-way was never formally granted for the driveway. As a result, he told the ranchers that he would not authorize their request. Aubert and Young promptly hired a lawyer.
Although Superintendent Taylor's decision was upheld by the Rocky Mountain Regional Office, the ranchers turned to Washington D.C. for guidance; the offices of both Senator Bill Armstrong and U.S. Representative Ben Nighthorse Campbell began working to resolve the matter. Baird Brown, attorney for the ranchers, observed that the stock driveway was simply another example of the Park Service's increasing trend toward "walling themselves off from the community... ."  By May 1990, Superintendent Taylor was advised by the Rocky Mountain Regional Office to honor Aubert's and Young's requests for stock trail use. Although Taylor was not told why the change in policy was made, Congressman Campbell's influence was most likely a part of the explanation. Campbell notified one of the ranchers by mail of the revised decision.  Pleased with the new policy and with Taylor's willingness to cooperate, the ranchers planned to make a drive only days after the decision was reversed.
Each of these conflicts reveals that local opinion continues to be a factor in the Monument's activities and policy. As two of these examples (the expansion and the stock driveway) indicate, local opposition toward the federal government in general often challenges park policy. Currently, events in other national parks indicate that local conflicts have become increasingly threatening to the future of both the parks and the Park Service in general. A perfect example is the recent battle between various Native American tribes and the National Park Service over the issue of historical treaty rights on certain park lands. Among the more notable of these conflicts: the Blackfeet Tribe of northern Montana filed a lawsuit against the federal government, seeking "all hunting, logging, fishing and spiritual worship rights restored in eastern Glacier National Park, which abuts their reservation."  Twelve different tribes have treaties or historic claims in six different western parks.  Above and beyond the political correctness of mending the mistakes of the past, when will the needs of the resource be recognized in these situations? If every historical claim to national parkswhether from European-descended. Americans or Native Americanswere honored, how long would it be before there were no more parks?
The parks face other challenges as well. A 1992 congressional underfunding of $2 million dollars forced the nation's 367 national parks, historic sites, battlefields and other areas to cut back. Reduced hours, maintenance, and patrols, hiring freezes, closure of certain areas, and fewer interpretive services represent a sampling of what most parks face.  Former superintendent of Rocky Mountain National Park Jim Thompson observed yet another problem confronting the parks today: the visitor. In Thompson's opinion, more park visitors have adopted the attitude that they should be able to do what they want in the parks with few restrictions.
The problems facing the National Park Service today are vast. While the road controversy at Colorado National Monument is only one of many conflicts facing the entire park system, it represents the attitude that seems to prevail regarding national parks. Judge Matsch's assertion that the development of the road controversy was a "classic western quarrel" accurately portrays the evolution of the relationship between the local community and the Park Service and how this relationship eventually climaxed during the lawsuit. The road controversy reflects the cooperation and conflict prevalent throughout the history of Colorado National Monument. It also exemplifies the unique quality of these western Colorado communities and their recent history of resistance toward the federal government.

The House of Representatives has passed the revised version of the $700 billion bailout legislation. The vote was 263-171. The Senate passed this bill earlier this week by a vote of 74-25.
Maybe it was inevitable after all.
Here is the statement of House Minority Leader Boehner:
The passage of this flawed but necessary bill is not cause for celebration.
The financial crisis is not a failure of the free-market system. It is a failure of a broken Washington, and a government culture that allowed executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other firms to run amok, ultimately imperiling our nationâ€™s economy. For years Republicans warned of this danger and advocated reform of these government-sponsored enterprises. And for years such reforms were thwarted by legislators with deep political ties to the worst offenders, putting the companiesâ€™ interests ahead of the interests of our country.
House Republicans stood on principle throughout this process. We secured numerous reforms on behalf of American taxpayers, such as raising the FDIC insurance cap, the SECâ€™s change to mark-to-market rules for certain assets that have worsened the credit crisis, and an insurance program that forces Wall Street to bear a financial burden in the rescue package. Republicans also were successful in stripping from the original Paulson-Democrat bailout plan of its special-interest earmarks for trial lawyers, labor bosses, and thinly-veiled political organizations like ACORN. This significantly improved legislation is much stronger than the initial Paulson plan and protects the interests of families, seniors, small businesses, and all taxpayers.
JOHN adds: It’s a sad day. What’s tragic about the bailout, I think, is that it was rushed through without any meaningful consideration being given to alternatives that almost certainly would have been cheaper, less intrusive and more free market-friendly. All parties bear some blame for this except the House Republicans, who made the only serious effort to put forward an alternative. The administration bears the most responsibility because its original proposal was the template for what followed and because it should have known better. We expect more from Republicans than Democrats, but we don’t always get it.

The modern PC is potentially a mass of heat output and heat production hot spots. With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two!), multiple hard drives the norm, lots of memory and mainboards covered in heatpipes to combat toasty core logic and PWM circuits, a PC appreciably warming up a room when it’s working hard is no joke.
Date Issued: 19th Jun 2008
Watercooling for the PC has been around for years in some form or another, for at least as long as Scan have been in business, with basic physics defining why you want to use it. That means for air cooling, to cope with increasing temperature in the heatsink you need to move the air across it faster. That is why thermostatically controlled fans in your PC will turn faster the hotter something gets.

New Delhi, April 16 (IANS) Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Monday accused the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government of "creating an atmosphere of distrust" with the states through its move to give police powers to central paramilitary forces and investigating agencies.
Speaking at the chief ministers' conference on internal security, he urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to bridge the gap.
"Whether it is the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Railway Protection Force or the Border Security Force, the centre's unilateral activity is creating an atmosphere of distrust between the centre and the state... I urge Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to bridge the gap," Modi told reporters on the sidelines of the meet.
The centre has proposed the creation of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) that will have powers to arrest terror suspects all over the country, apart from carrying out investigation and raids.
This has been opposed by non-UPA chief ministers, including Modi, who shot off letters to the prime minister, resulting in the NCTC not becoming functional on March 1 as was originally proposed.
Modi has also written separately to the prime minister against the proposals to provide the central government-controlled Railway Protection Force (RPF) officers powers equivalent to state police officers; also amendments to the Border Security Force law to enable their officers to effect arrests in the hinterland, apart from existing powers to arrest border violators and cross-border smugglers.
Modi said these actions of the centre were creating an atmosphere of distrust with the state governments.
Accusing New Delhi of adopting a unilateral approach on issues concerning internal security, Modi said it must see the states as partners in maintaining national security.
"Internal security is too serious a matter to be treated as an arena for one-upmanship by the union government," Modi said in his address at the conference.
However, he noted that the central government "after long, paid heed" to the states' objection on creation of NCTC and has now decided to hold a separate meeting with the chief ministers on May 5.
"Let me draw your attention to the fact that the NCTC imbroglio is part of unsavoury episodes that have taken place since we (chief ministers) last met and the leitmotif of this episode has been the unilateral approach of the union government," he said.
Modi said the state governments faced the brunt of problems related to internal security and hence must be seen as partners.
Citing examples of "non-consultative" approach of the union government, Modi referred to the amendment to the RPF Act, and said: "The union railway ministry has tried to create a state within state."
He also referred to his letter to the prime minister detailing his concerns about the proposed amendment to the BSF Act, 1968.
"It is unfortunate that the union government has failed to instil faith and confidence about our defence preparedness in the common man," Modi said in an obvious reference to the leaked letter of army chief Gen. V.K. Singh to the prime minister detailing gaps in India's defence preparedness.
"Any lacunae in our defence capability on account of resource constraint, demoralisation of the rank and file, and tensions between the civil and military wing is bound to have an adverse impact on the internal security of the nation.
"I earnestly request the Indian government to take proactive step to clear the fog of mistrust and suspicion that has arisen on account of the recent unseemly controversy and not remain content with mere issuance of statements," the Gujarat chief minister added.
Referring to the issue of terrorism, he said it had international ramifications.
"We have experienced terrorists fleeing our country and often carrying out subversive act sitting outside the boundaries of our nation. It puzzles me as to what a helpless situation we are put into; even we are unable to bring the perpetrators of terror to justice," he added.

What is a curry?
The age old question that has been debated much and beyond with no hope of an answer in sight!
Well, I do not wish to get into the origin of this word; Wikipedia does a good job of that. Neither do I wish to get into what the world defines a curry.
For the average Indian, a curry refers to any dish that is in the form of flavourful gravy. When we cannot find a traditional name to the dish, we end up calling it a curry anyway.
So is the case with this watermelon curry.
It does not fit in with the global definition of a curry but for an Indian, this would classify just perfect.
Watermelon curry?? I am sure that’s the thought running through your head right now if you haven’t heard of this dish before. It was the same apprehensive feeling I had when I first came across this dish in saveur.com
I knew this curry was going to be an awesome one while scrolling down the list of ingredients but still somewhere in my head was the nagging thought, ‘will it be too sweet’?
Apparently, the watermelon curry is a famous dish in Rajasthan and is enjoyed with both phulkas (Indian wheat flat bread) and rice. I had it both ways and enjoyed it just the same.
Yes, there is sweetness from the watermelon but then there is a whole lot of flavour from the spices that penetrate deep into the melon pieces to give us a delicious, refreshing and light dish.
This is a curry that can be a perfect example to the fact that spices do not mean heat but flavour. The cumin, carom seeds, nigella seeds and dried chillies release all its flavour into the oil and cuts into the sweetness of the melon pieces. The soft rind of the watermelon adds just the right amount of bite and texture to an otherwise soft dish.
Believe me, this is a dish you will enjoy so make sure to give it a try.
Watermelon curry – sweet juicy chunks of watermelon in a flavourful gravy of spices and aromatics.
- 1 kg seedless watermelon with rind
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp ajwain/carom seeds
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp nigella seeds black onion seeds
- 3 dried red chillies broken into small pieces
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- salt to season
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tsp fresh coriander leaves finely chopped
- Cut the outer dark green layer of the watermelon rind keeping the inner whitish-green rind intact. Remove the red flesh of the watermelon from the whitish rind; dice both separately and keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan and add the whole spices; ajwain, cumin, nigella and dry red chillies. When fragrant, add the garlic and sauté on medium heat for about 30 seconds.
- Add the watermelon rind pieces and turmeric powder, mix well and season with salt. Cover and look for about 6-7 minutes till the rind has browned and softened. Do not add any water.
- In the meantime, blitz half the watermelon flesh pieces and keep aside.
- After 7 minutes, add the blitzed watermelon pulp and ½ cup water; mix to combine and cook covered till the rind has become tender.
- Then add the remaining flesh pieces and cook on high for 3-4 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve warm.

This is our 6th year in Florida, and only our second year of taking full advantage of Florida citrus. It kind of helps that we know people with fruit trees now. We have been juicing the heck out of grapfruits, satsumas and Meyer lemons. Yum.
Just spent the afternoon doing something I wanted to for months. I printed out tons of pictures this summer of memories from the past two years, as an application for the lesson in thankfulness the Lord had been teaching me. I wanted to create a wall in my house where I could look back on two years that often seem filled with disappointment, uncertainty and sometimes despair. While those years have held all those things, they have also held wonder, delight and some precious memories I am so thankful I have. I hesitated to put it up because sometimes I am lazy, and also because thankfulness can be hard. Yet in an attempt to not let the Eve inside of me win, I want to see the abundant garden God has graciously given me and not get stuck on the one thing He hasn't. Thank you Lord for my garden, sometimes I only see the wilderness.

PHOENIX –The 26th Annual Art Detour, March 8-9, 2014, will be an exceptional celebration of artists and their important contribution to the vibrancy of downtown Phoenix.
More than 100 spaces, including working artist studios, unique art spaces, galleries, cultural venues, restaurants and retailers will open their doors to make this the best two-day, all-access pass to the downtown arts scene in Detour’s 26-year history.

On November 7, 2013, the Downtown Voices Coalition submitted the following “op-ed” in response to the Arizona Republic’s year-end series, “The New Economy.” In reviewing the “op-ed” 30 days later, the only thing that has changed is Phoenix’s bond rating, “downgraded from AAA to AA+. Changes to Standard and Poor’s criteria mean ratings are now largely based on local economic conditions. Phoenix property values dropped significantly during the Great Recession affecting the rating. We welcome your comments.
The Arizona Republic’s editorial board recently heralded the launch of a series of articles titled “The New Arizona.” Noting that this is a “sink-or swim” moment for the state, the paper announced, “Now is the time to fire up strategic plans for a more prosperous Arizona.” While we applaud the thought behind this series, we were disappointed that the paper failed to recognize the most important drivers of modern Arizona’s economy: Our cities.
As many economists have begun to acknowledge, the 21st Century is poised to become the Century of the City. Therefore, any series that attempts to present a strategic plan to “fire up” the Arizona economy should focus primarily on our urban centers and what is being done there to stimulate the economy and help us compete in the global marketplace.
If the Republic were to focus on this state’s predominant urban center, Phoenix, it would find much to celebrate. Downtown Phoenix, in particular, is enjoying a resurgence that is outpacing that of other parts of the state and the western U.S. Real estate values are rising, and demand is high; businesses are opening or expanding; light rail ridership continues to grow; and, most important, there is an exciting “buzz’’ about downtown that is attracting both local and national attention.
Much of this excitement about downtown Phoenix can be attributed to the work of activists and residents who, over time, have developed successful working relationships with elected officials and city staff, and have begun to play a more meaningful role in the development of the urban core. For example, the Mayor has formed Downtown Phoenix, Inc. (on whose board I sit), which gives community and neighborhood activists in and around our downtown “a seat at the table” that was once reserved exclusively for large business interests. Even at a fine-grain level, residents have exercised more influence on city development, as evidenced by the “Greening of Grand Avenue,” which has dramatically altered the streetscape west of the business core, as well as much needed neighborhood streetscape improvements along Fifth Street from the Phoenix Biomedical Campus to the Roosevelt Arts District.
Just a few years ago, such influence would have been unthinkable. However, today, because of the city’s more open policy and the efforts of the Mayor and Council members, residents are more optimistic about their ability to shape the future of downtown Phoenix, and are, in turn,more bullish about the city’s economic recovery.
The resurgence of central Phoenix bodes well for the rest of Arizona. The development of entrepreneurial incubators such as SEED SPOT and CO+HOOTS and the expansion of the Biomedical Campus point to the development of a “new economy” that should be able to weather the market far better than the traditional “growth-for growth’s sake” model that has dominated the Arizona economy for the past 50 years. Moreover, policies developed in cities like Phoenix can serve as models for other areas of the state. This trend was evident when Phoenix approved the Access to Care Ordinance, expected to bring in more than $200 million in federal funding to support uncompensated health care for Phoenix residents over the life of the program. After Phoenix implemented this program, the State Legislature followed the city’s lead and enacted a similar measure to provide coverage throughout the state.
The Republic should be examining successful programs such as these, as it has in the past with editorials lauding adaptive reuse and public art, and proposing new ideas for accelerating economic development in urban areas. Unfortunately, the media’s fixation on the issue of employee compensation to the exclusion of almost everything else doesn’t help tell our broader story. By confining their analysis to this one aspect of the city’s operations, the Republic has created the impression Phoenix’s growth is threatened as a result of its pension and other compensation obligations.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. Phoenix retains its AAA Bond rating and is still considered one of the best-managed cities in the world. Moreover, the Mayor and some enlightened council members passed reasonable measures to rein in pension costs (measures that, by the way, are supported by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce). Others continues to insist, however, that the city pursue goals of “questionable legality” in restricting pensions that would undermine the city’s commitment to standards of fundamental fairness and would inevitably lead to protracted and costly litigation.
As we sit at the edge of an economic recovery, it is time for us to move on. We need to celebrate the increasing diversity of Phoenix’s economy and focus on how we can improve upon and replicate the city’s successes. Of course, we need to address problems when they arise, but we should not become so intransigent and polemical in our response to these issues that we threaten to derail our entire economy. Above all, we need to acknowledge that our fortunes, and those of Arizona, will depend in large part on the support we give our cities. It is only through the success of our cities that can we develop a more prosperous Arizona.
Very truly yours,
Chair, Downtown Voices Coalition


The one and only Cher will be releasing her new album DANCING QUEEN on September 28th, 2018. Following the global mega-success of mega film, Mama Mia, Here We Go Again, DANCING QUEEN pays tribute to the legendary music of ABBA and is available to pre-order today.
The Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award winning icon was inspired to record the album following her stunning performance in the hit film.
Cher says, “I’ve always liked ABBA and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times. After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking ‘why not do an album of their music?’ The songs were harder to sing than I imagined but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”
DANCING QUEEN was recorded and produced in London and Los Angeles with Cher’s long-time collaborator Mark Taylor, who previously produced Cher’s global smash ‘Believe’ which was number one in over 50 countries.


It’s truly remarkable where gaming has gone in the last few years, especially that all the goodies such as eSports, have reached the mobile platform. If you haven’t heard, the 2016 Hearthstone World Championship has been announced where 16 worthy players from all around the world will be selected to duel in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft [Free]. Although your victory will bring you glory with the title of World Champion, there is a much bigger prize that is being offered – a share of a one million dollar prize pool! As you can imagine, this tournament will be huge and is preceded by many months of Ranked play tournaments to secure a place in one of the Season Championships.
The money prize for the Hearthstone World Championship has dramatically increased from quarter of a million to $1 million along with a $100,000 prize pool for each of the nine Season Championships across the Americas, Europe, & Asia-Pacific. The first event of the 2016 Hearthstone Championship Tour takes place at DreamHack Winter 2015 from November 26 to 29. You can still be eligible to earn points through Ranked Play starting December in order to get a chance at the World Championship at the end of the year.
There will be four tournaments held this year: 3 Season Championships and the regional Last Call Invitational. These tournaments will determine the lucky players that will be going to BlizzCon. Invited players will no longer have immediate byes and those who have spots reserved will start in the same round as all open players to ensure that everyone has a fair start.
With more onsite events with multiple Fireside Gatherings which will be the platform for the Season Preliminaries leading into the Season Championships, more opportunities become available for you to attend a local event to compete or support live instead of via Twitch. In addition, considering that the Last Call Invitational qualifies you based on total accumulated points, it opens a chance for more players to join the World Championship any time. Additionally, point distribution has underwent changes and rebalancing, giving top placing players any given event fewer points than lower placing players. This further provides points to all players that achieve the Legend Rank in an eligible season for Ranked Play.
Finally, we expect to see a new structure for this year’s tournaments with an improved and flexible match format. This change has been made to address complaints by players and fans about some boring matches that have taken place the previous year. So Blizzard will improve this upcoming Championship Season’s format and ensure that the events will be more exciting. It seems that we are in for a thrilling ride with the upcoming 2016 Hearthstone Championship Tour. If any of our readers happens to be a professional player that is participating in this global event, then contact us and we will endorse you all the way! You can watch the Hearthstone World Championship 2015 Intro video below.

COLITA ACADEMY. Colita Academy was in Louisiana Settlement, at the site of present Colita in Polk County. The school was founded about 1870 and had a two-story pine building. It was officially nonsectarian, although Baptists were its chief supporters. Principals of the Colita institution included J. M. Pearson, Helen Lawson, a Professor Thomas, Rev. Kit Williams, Thornton Walker, and a Reverend Weymouth. Pupils ranged from seven to twenty-three years of age. Faced with competition from a growing public school system, Colita Academy was closed in 1894.

Moscow, SANA– Russian Foreign Ministry affirmed that statements of some countries about illegitimacy of upcoming presidential elections in Syria are a new attempt to interfere in its affairs, stressing that holding these elections fully complies with its constitution and resolutions of international legitimacy.
The ministry said in a statement on Friday that Moscow is closely following up preparations for upcoming Syrian presidential elections due to be held on May 26th.
It added that organizing the elections is a Syrian domestic affair and fully complies with the requirements of the Constitution which was adopted in 2012 and the local laws. These measures don’t contradict with UN Security Council Resolution 2254 or other international resolutions based on respecting Syria’s sovereignty.
The statement noted that “in this regard, we evaluate the recent statements by capitals of several foreign countries, which claim the illegitimacy of upcoming elections as part of a campaign of blatant political pressure on the Syrian state and a new attempt to interfere in its domestic affairs.”
“No one has the right to dictate on the Syrian people timing and conditions that must be prepared for selecting a president for their state,” the statement stressed.
Holding elections comes in the light of the continued illegitimate foreign occupation to parts of the Syrian territory, the statement said, adding that in response to the demands of Syrian side, Moscow is ready to send Russian observers for these elections.

TAIPEI: A Czech delegation led by its senate speaker is set to arrive in Taiwan later this month, Taipei said on Thursday (Aug 13), following the highest-level US visit to the island that infuriated China.
READ: US Cabinet member lauds Taiwan's democracy during historic visit
Milos Vystrcil's delegation including the Prague mayor, the wife of late speaker Jaroslav Kubera and business leaders are scheduled to visit between Aug 30 and Sep 4, according to Taiwan's foreign ministry.
"The visit aims to highlight speaker Vystrcil's determination to uphold democracy and freedom, and that he would not succumb to the intimidation of authoritarian China," the ministry said in a statement.
Beijing views Taiwan as its own territory – vowing to one day seize it – and bristles at any moves by foreign governments to recognise or conduct official exchanges with Taipei.
China warned the United States not to "play with fire" on Wednesday as health chief Alex Azar wrapped up a three-day visit to Taiwan at a time of high tensions between Washington and Beijing.
The two powers have clashed over a range of issues from trade to military and the coronavirus pandemic.
Azar criticised China's handling of the pandemic and visited the makeshift shrine of a former Taiwanese president hated by the Communist Party leadership, during the highest-profile visit to Taiwan since Washington switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing in 1979.
Vystrcil is following in the footsteps of his predecessor Jaroslav Kubera, who died of a heart attack in January while planning the trip to Taiwan.
After Kubera's death, Czech media published a letter stamped by the Chinese embassy in Prague, in which Beijing threatened both Kubera and the Czech companies intending to accompany him on the trip.
Also on the upcoming delegation is Prague mayor Zdenek Hrib, who signed a partnership agreement with Taipei in January that sparked retaliation with Shanghai cutting their sister-city ties.
Vystrcil has said he would make the trip to fulfil the legacy of the late Czech President Vaclav Havel, a human rights fighter and dissident leader of the 1989 Velvet Revolution which toppled communism in the former Czechoslovakia.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unveiled new mortgage rules Thursday that are expected to change how home buyers go about getting approved for a home loan.
Loans that meet the agency’s new lending criteria now will be called a “qualified mortgage.” Every company that issues mortgages will be required to follow the new guidelines in order to receive protection from lawsuits for mortgage-backed bonds. Some types of loans will be excluded from these rules, such as interest-only mortgages and loans on which the principal balance rises over time.
A “qualified mortgage” will consist of the following:
Lenders must prove that income and assets are sufficient to repay the loan (this applies to jumbo loans as well).
- Borrowers must be able to document their jobs.
- Credit scores will have to meet a minimum standard.
- Borrowers will have to be able to show that they can also still afford other debts associated with the home, such as home equity loans as well as property taxes.
- Lenders will consider borrower’s other debts before issuing a mortgage too, such as student loans, car loans, and credit card debt.
- Monthly payments must be affordable to the borrower.
The new rules will take effect Jan. 21. Lenders have a year to fully implement them.

Pakistan will start exporting mobile phones in January 2022, Commerce Adviser Razak Dawood said on Tuesday.
In a testimony before the Senate Committee on Commerce chaired by Senator Zeeshan Khanzada, the adviser said a Chinese company was fixing a mobile manufacturing factory in Karachi.
Talking to following the board meeting, Mr. Dawood said the assembly of mobile phones has already started in Pakistan. “I am now trying to convince the Chinese to start out mobile exports from Pakistan. They [Chinese] started production last year and that I had given them a target of December 2021. they need to assure me that they’re going to begin exports from January 2022 onward,” he added.
To an issue, if there have been any exports targets for mobile phones being manufactured in Pakistan, the adviser said that it’s a replacement product for exports and there’s no such target. “Two years ago, nobody was even thinking that Pakistan will start exporting mobile phones,” he said.
Regarding Samsung’s operations within the country, Mr. Dawood said that originally Samsung had refused to return to Pakistan. “However, later Samsung changed its earlier decision and agreed to return to Pakistan. A venture with an area partner is on,” he added. The adviser said he was optimistic about the uptick in exports of mobile phones from the country.
In a stock filing last week, Lucky Cement Ltd (LCL) said that its subsidiary Lucky Motor Corporation had signed an agreement with Samsung Gulf Electronics Co, FZE for producing Samsung mobile devices in Pakistan.
Commerce secretary’s absence irks committee
Ahead of the proceedings, members of the committee expressed displeasure over the absence of Commerce Secretary Muhammad Sualeh Faruqui.
Additional Secretary Commerce Mujtaba Memon said Mr. Faruqi was in Karachi preparing for Expo 2022. Senator Danesh Kumar said he won’t attend future meetings within the absence of the secretary of commerce. Senator Fida Muhammad urged Senator Khanzada to write down a letter to the Senate chairman regarding the behavior of the secretary of commerce.
Senator Kumar and Senator Ahmed Khan walked out of the committee. At the request of the chairman committee, Senator Muhammad brought the members back to the committee. Addressing the committee members, Senator Khanzada said that if this happened in the future, he also will walk out with them.
The senators also expressed displeasure over the non-provision of working papers by the Ministry of Commerce in due course of your time. Mr. Dawood apologized to the committee members for the absence of the commerce secretary.
DG national trading policy Waqas Azeem briefed the committee that exports targets within the last two programs weren’t realistic and hence unattainable. In previous trade policies, the stress was on three markets, including China and therefore the EU.
Additional Secretary Commerce Mujtaba Memon apprised the committee that the govt has reduced energy rates for industries. Duty and taxes on the raw materials are slashed too, he added. “We have created new trading partners. Our emphasis on exports in new development sectors aside from the normal sector has also contributed to our exports,” Mr. Memon said.
The commerce adviser said the govt has not offered any subsidy to the industry in energy. “The sector should be provided electricity at par with the industries of the rival countries. The new DLTL policy goes to be extended to new areas besides the normal ones,” Mr. Dawood added.
He emphasized that Pakistan’s exports were minimal and therefore the country has got to look towards new sectors. “We are bringing 11 new sectors including engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, auto parts, fruit and vegetable, meat and poultry which can further improve our exports,” he underlined.
Senator Muhammad Qasim said that some foreign companies were coming to Pakistani waters for seafood which was leaving local fishermen during a nasty situation.
Senator Muhammad raised an issue regarding the amount of marble and minerals industries in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The commerce ministry should also specialize in these areas, he added.
He highlighted that after the merger of integrated areas, people weren’t being given loans to line up industries. The Senate committee chairman noted that the funding ratio of loans in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) was meager. For KP, the loan funding rate is one percent, while for Balochistan it’s but 0.5pc.
The commerce adviser assured the committee that they might solve the mentioned problems while that specialize in marble and minerals.
Meanwhile, during a statement issued on Tuesday, the Ministry of Commerce said that Pakistani rice exports weren’t banned by China. The clarification came after media outlets reported that Pakistani rice was banned by China thanks to the presence of coronavirus on sacks.
“The issue was discussed during a gathering of the Senate Committee on Commerce. The Chinese government is following strict sanitary and phytosanitary protocol measures including checking import consignments for the presence of Covid-19 virus before the port clearance.” The Senate committee was informed that Pakistani export consignments of rice were detained for port inspection and detection but were afterward release after conformity with the Chinese government’s protocols, the statement added.


Formula 1 rookie Yuki Tsunoda admits he needs to improve physically as he felt the exertion “quite a lot” after last weekend’s race in Brazil, the middle part of a tough triple-header.
The 22-race schedule is the longest in F1 history and the trio of back-to-back races in Mexico, Brazil and Qatar ends this weekend in the Middle East.
Tsunoda admitted last year he was surprised by the physicality of F1 cars.
He seemed to have some discomfort in his shoulder after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix and in Qatar confirmed that he struggled in that race and is looking to improve.
“In Brazil I felt it a little bit – to be honest, not a little bit, quite a lot,” said Tsunoda.
“Yeah, it’s not perfect.
“Definitely I need to improve physically as well. But I think it’s OK.”
Tsunoda admitted after his maiden F1 tests last year he needed to train a lot more ahead of his rookie season after being surprised how much it impacted his neck.
He is the shortest driver on the grid at 5’2”, which does come with a physical disadvantage.
Tsunoda moved from the UK to Italy a few months into his rookie season to be more closely guided by his AlphaTauri team, which also included a more intense training schedule.
He initially described the new gym regime as something he had not experienced before.
Tsunoda said he is at least coping well with the switch from Sao Paulo to Doha, with a time difference that’s six hours later: “Currently I’m OK. I’m surprised I slept really well the last few days!”
His fellow rookie Nikita Mazepin admitted that being in peak physical condition is tricky at the end of the season.
“Physically it’s difficult to train in the gym when you’re flying around so much and your body’s not 100%,” said Mazepin.
“But when I’m driving the car, I feel that I’m fit enough to do so.
“You have neck problems but that’s about it.”
Mazepin’s Haas team-mate Mick Schumacher, the third of the three F2 graduates in their first F1 seasons, said: “I don’t feel anything.
“Obviously my Mexico race [in this triple-header] was pretty short. But I think that overall physically I’m fine.”

Southern Health has signed up to the ‘Armed Forces Covenant Pledge’ as the first step in its ambition to become a ‘Veteran Aware’ NHS Trust this year.
‘Veteran Aware’ Trusts lead the way in improving care for veterans within the NHS (as part of the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance). In joining the ranks of Trusts who have already achieved this status, Southern Health will be in good company - alongside Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust and Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust locally.
By signing up to the forces-friendly pledge, Southern Health is committed to:
- providing the best care possible for veterans and their families
- encouraging all patients and staff to tell us if they have served in the armed forces so that we can best support them
- learning from our staff, patients and their families to improve care
- supporting the employment of veterans (with a tailored employment pathway for those leaving the military)
- supporting the employment of military spouses/partners (with flexible time off around a partner’s deployment)
- supporting staff who are reservists (accommodating any training and deployment)
- training staff to be aware of veterans’ unique needs and how to signpost to other helpful local services
- building a network of Armed Forces Ambassadors within the Trust.
Sara Courtney, Southern Health’s Deputy Director of Nursing - and herself a veteran having served in the Royal Navy before joining the NHS - explained: “A veteran is anyone who has served in the armed forces for at least one day. There are about 2.6 million ex-service people living in the UK and about 3 million dependent family members. As veterans make up between 3% and 9% of the population, it is important that we consider their specific health needs. Many leave the military with complex medical and psychological health issues – such as musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory problems and for some, mental health issues such as PTSD, depression and alcohol misuse.
“As the biggest provider of mental health services in Hampshire and with a large number of military bases across the county, it is key that we improve veterans’ care wherever possible – for the benefit of our patients and all our staff with military connections.”
Southern Health’s journey towards ‘Veteran Aware’ status follows the launch of a new High Intensity Service, which started rolling out in late November. The service – which is led by Solent NHS Trust in collaboration with Southern Health and other organisations - means that former service personnel or their loved ones can call NHS 111 if they need urgent mental health care and access rapid support.


[gmx-users] LINCS WARNING...
senthilk at engin.umich.edu
Tue Jul 29 20:19:00 CEST 2003
> Step 400, time 0.8 (ps) LINCS WARNING
> relative constraint deviation after LINCS:
> max 0.120018 (between atoms 334 and 335) rms 0.002054
> bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:
> atom 1 atom 2 angle previous, current, constraint length
> 333 335 33.8 0.2081 0.2040 0.2000
It seems like you are running with constraints = all-angles
LINCS is not good at this. Your options are to use shake for the
constraint algorithm or use constraints = all-bonds
I had tried all-bonds and also tried the SHAKE algorithm earlier. They
all seem to crash and the culprit always seems to be that one particular
hydrogen atom. Is there any other way to make it stable?

The past few weeks we have been planning a trip to the Nile with some friends of ours that have a little girl about one month younger than Sadie Mac. Yesterday morning we left with sunscreen, water toys, a grill, and excitement attempting to find the place we were last time. Cultural Note 1: You have to understand that there are no signs that say “Nile Beach 12 mi.” like we are accustomed to seeing at Myrtle Beach. Also, we liked the spot we went to last time because there were no people around staring at us as we enjoyed our day, so we were wanting to see if we could find the same place we did last time from our markings on the GPS. (thanks Stephen and Janelle!)
We did find the general area and just wanted to find a spot close to the Nile with a smidge of shade so the girls could play on the mat we brought. Stephen and our friend’s husband went down to see if the spot would be suitable and it seemed to be, so we headed down to the beach in our cars. Bad idea. We were driving along leading the way and all of a sudden, our car sank! The top of the ground was hard and solid, but that was deceiving. Cultural Note 2: We live in the Sahara Desert and AAA is no where to be found. So, what was to be found? Shepherd boys and herdsmen!
A group of about 10 boys and men came out of nowhere, all with ideas and input and they were eager to help! They tried breaking branches and putting them down behind the tires hoping they would grab traction… but the mud/sandy-clay was too much for our heavy car. After about 2 hours of trying and sinking, our friend went to a village semi-nearby to try and find a tractor. Cultural Note 3: You have to have tea whenever you are on a visit. Our friend found a man with a tractor and was asking and negotiating a price (also something you have to do beforehand) and when this was done he said, ok… let’s go. But they were insistent he have tea. He said his wife, daughter, and friends were all down waiting… but NO(!)… he had to stay and have tea. So, he graciously did have tea and then returned with the tractor! All that time, Stephen continued to dig and try to work the car out of the clay. After a short while, thanks to the tractor (and Stephen's digging :-)!!) the car was out and we were so thankful! We know the Father was with us!!!
It was still early enough in the day for us to grill-out, swim for a few minutes in the Nile and enjoy time with our friends. We were so thankful they were with us. Stephen jokingly told us all to enjoy it because we were never coming back here again!

This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes and which produce the most divine sound ever. We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played. We'll concentrate on "buccal cavity driven" nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones, plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.
Oct 3, 2012
Link sent by our friend ShowNoseFlute, thanks! Here is a video by DCUC, a band from Soweto, South Africa. I made screenshots to look what nose flute is played by the whistler with the black cap: it's not a Bocarina from Pretoria, but a wooden flute :

IMF Bentham Europe have recently launched in the UK via a joint venture with hedge fund Elliot Management Corporation. As long-established funder with their roots in Australia, IMF Bentham may prove to be an exciting addition to the UK market.
So what does the launch mean for UK law firms? The funding market in the UK is fairly well capitalised already, with many of the existing funders struggling to find deals that work on their economic models. That being said, clearly credible capacity should always be welcomed from a competition perspective, particularly as departures from the market can and do occur (e.g. Argentum). Furthermore, IMF Bentham’s parent company’s experience in Australia should help to ensure they became one of the main players in the UK.
Competition within the UK litigation finance market has significantly intensified for larger cases in the past 12 months. Any lawyer involved in a case which needs somewhere between £500k-£5m+ of funding should recognise that there are at least 6 domestic funders with significant funds behind them that are capable of offering terms, in addition to a wider pool of international litigation funders.
The pricing variable between funders can still be wildly unpredictable on any given case. At TheJudge we’ve seen a large number of cases that require at least £4m+ of funding. However, crucially all of those cases, which had more than one interested funder, resulted in a price variable of at least £6m in net cost to the client. In some of our larger cases we’ve actually seen variables exceeding £50m. There really is no excuse for a law firm not to be considering multiple funders on any given case, unless of course that’s the client’s wish (which seems unlikely given the savings that can be made). The only wriggle for law firms is navigating around exclusivity options, which a number of litigation funders still insist upon – see our previous blog in this regard: http://www.thejudge.uk/news/the-dilemma-of-exclusivity-periods-when-arranging-arbitration-financing
If you have a case in need of funding, please do not hesitate to contact one of our team: firstname.lastname@example.org or tel: (0)845 257 6058
