The clashes were a result of the peoples discontent over the decision to turn Gerash, a nearby village, into a city. Some windows were smashed and people were arrested and injured. Anti-riot police used tear gas and fired shots to disperse [the crowd]. The people reacted by fighting back. Consequently, a number of people were injured and were sent to Imam Reza hospital, the citys only hospital. There were many arrests, but only 16 have been transferred to Shiraz so far. Yesterday and today the police force has arrested 120 people, and ten of them have been released so far. People are banned from traveling and riot police are remaining in the streets. City officials have promised that a group from Tehran would be arriving today at 3:00 pm to investigate the peoples claims. The people believe that this is a lie. Additionally, according to reports, strikes are being planned that will result in shops in the city closing their doors until the people receive their rights.

Earthquake in Fars 21 July 2010
A magnitude 5.8 earthquake has struck Iran's southern provinces of Fars and Hormozgan, injuring 32 people and damaging some residential units. A total of 32 people including residents of some villages in southern town of Lamerd in Fars Province were injured in the quake, IRIB quoted head of Lamerd Red Crescent, Heydaripour as saying on Wednesday. The earthquake damaged 50 to 70 percent of residential buildings, he further explained. The quake, centered 146 miles (234 km) west of Bandar-e Abbas and close to the Persian Gulf coast, was 21.1 miles (34 km) deep, the US Geological Survey reported.. It struck at 11:08 pm local time (1938 GMT). There have been no reports of possible causalities yet. This is while the Iranian Seismological Center (IRSC) reported later that the Ahl region on the border between the Fars province and Hormozgan province in southern Iran was shaken twice by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake and another 5.2 magnitude quake. The first quake shook the region on 00:08 am local time (19:38 GMT) and the second one took place 12 minutes later, the center said. Some reports say the quakes were also felt on the island of Kish in the Persian Gulf. Officials say emergency aid teams are ready, and will be dispatched to the quake-hit area if necessary. Earthquakes are common in Iran. In 2003, some 30000 people were killed in a quake that devastated the southeastern city of Bam.

Ancient city of Persepolis (1080p)
Hello everyone, this is a footage of the ancient site ''Persepolis'' which is located in Southern Iran, in the ''Fars/Pars'' province. I have been here once earlier so this was the second time. I really enjoyed being there and hope to visit the site again. Here's some information about the site itself: Persepolis (Old Persian Pārsa, Takht-e Jamshid or Chehel Minar) was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550-330 BCE). Persepolis is situated 70 km northeast of the modern city of Shiraz in the Fars Province of modern Iran. In contemporary Persian, the site is known as Takht-e Jamshid (Throne of Jamshid). The earliest remains of Persepolis date from around 515 BCE. To the ancient Persians, the city was known as Pārsa, which means "The City of Persians". Persepolis is a transliteration of the Greek Πέρσης πόλις (Persēs polis: "Persian city"). UNESCO declared the citadel of Persepolis a World Heritage Site in 1979.

Persia
Persia is originally the name of a region in Iran. See: Fars Province and Persis. Parts of Bushehr, Kohgiluye&Boyer-Ahmad; and the western half of Hormozgan may aso be included. # Persia is a pars pro toto Western name for Iran. It was used from ancient times until 1935. Since 1949, both the terms "Persia" and "Iran" can be used officially. (See also: Iran naming convention.) * The Persian Empire of ancient and medieval times The Persian Empire was a series of successive Iranian or Iraniate empires that ruled over the Iranian plateau, the original Persian homeland, and beyond in Western Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and the Caucasus.[1] The first Persian Empire formed under the Median Empire (728559 BC) after defeating and ending the Assyrian Empire with the help of Babylonians. The Achaemenid Persian Empire (550330 BC) was the largest empire of the ancient world and it reached its greatest extent under Darius the Great and Xerxes the Great — famous in antiquity as the foe of the classical Greek states (See Greco-Persian Wars). It was a united Persian kingdom that originated in the region now known as Pars province (Fars province) of Iran. It was formed under Cyrus the Great, who took over the empire of the Medes, and conquered much of the Middle East, including the territories of the Babylonians, Assyrians, the Phoenicians, and the Lydians. Cambyses, Son of Cyrus the Great, continued his conquests by conquering Egypt. The Achaemenid Persian Empire was ended during the ...

Black rhino given new home
The seventh black rhino population established by the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project, was recently released after an epic 1500 kilometre trip across the country. 19 of the critically endangered animals were moved from the Eastern Cape to a new location in Limpopo province.
“This was possible because of the far-sightedness of the Eastern Cape Provincial government who were prepared to become partners in the project for the sake of black rhino conservation in South Africa,” said WWF’s project leader Dr Jacques Flamand. “The operation was difficult due to the number of animals and the long distances involved. But wildlife veterinarians, conservation managers and capture teams from WWF, Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency, SANParks and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife worked cooperatively to ensure the success of the translocation. We all learned from one another and were united in a common cause.”
“We are a young organisation and this is a great opportunity to be giving something back to the national conservation effort,” said Dave Balfour, conservation director of the Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency. “We are excited about getting ourselves integrated into national conservation. A critical element of future conservation success will be the ability of agencies with a common interest to work together. This was a great example of that."
A relatively new capture technique was used to airlift some of the rhinos out of difficult or inaccessible areas by helicopter. This entails suspending the sleeping rhino by the ankles for a short trip through the air to awaiting vehicles. “Previously rhinos were either transported by lorry over very difficult tracks, or airlifted in a net. This new procedure is gentler on the darted rhino because it shortens the time it has to be kept asleep with drugs, the respiration is not as compromised as it can be in a net and it avoids the need for travel in a crate over terrible tracks,” explains Dr Flamand. “Another advantage is that rhinos can be more easily removed from dangerous situations, for example if they have fallen asleep in a donga or other difficult terrain after being darted. The helicopter translocations usually take less than ten minutes, and the animals suffer no ill effect. All of the veterinarians working on the translocation agreed that this was now the method of choice for the well-being of the animals.”
Security of rhinos is a major concern given the current poaching onslaught. Project partners receiving rhinos on their land are only chosen if their security systems are of a high standard. “Translocating rhinos always involves risk, but we cannot keep all our eggs in one basket. It is essential to manage black rhino populations for maximum growth as it is still a critically endangered species and this is what the project does by creating large new populations which we hope will breed quickly,” concludes Dr Flamand.
The WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project aims to increase the range and numbers of black rhino in South Africa and has created seven significant black rhino populations in eight years. Close to 120 black rhino have been translocated to date.

Joshua God Wars Pt 9: Fathers Becoming Men of God
Congratulations to all our Fathers this morning. Believe it or not, God thinks Fathers are important. God will never allow a test tube to replace Father’s. Father’s are absolutely essential in God’s overall plan of providing an inheritance for His Son. We are in a Cultural War men, one which relegates the Father to the role of bumbling idiot. God sees each one of us a Fighters, Infantry Soldiers in the Battle for the Inheritance for His Son, Jesus Christ.
"Wish You Were Here"
Kendall Phelps will never forget the morning two years ago when a picture popped up on his computer in his Silver Lake, Kansas, high school classroom. There stood Chris, his oldest son, in desert camouflage in front of a bombed-out building in Baghdad. He was holding a sign written on the back of a discarded MRE carton: "DAD, WISH YOU WERE HERE. SEMPER FI!" Kendall, a retired Marine, rushed across the street to the elementary school where his wife, Sherma, teaches fourth grade. She had already received the same photo via e-mail and, in a spasm of giddy relief, was printing out copies to post at the church and all over town. Chris had not been heard from since just after the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom a month earlier. Kendall's elation that his son was all right momentarily erased his disappointment over not being in Baghdad himself. "Kendall is a Marine and a dad," explains Sherma. "He could not stand it that he was not over there with Chris, fighting side by side, protecting his son."
This past winter, against all odds, Master Gunnery Sgt. Kendall Phelps, 58, and Maj. Christopher Phelps, 35, deployed to Iraq together for a seven-month tour in the newly formed 5th Civil Affairs Group based in Fallujah. Ever since the five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa, tragically died when their cruiser was sunk in World War II, the U.S. military has been reluctant to deploy immediate family members in the same company. No one can remember a Marine father and son serving together. The mission of the 5th Civil Affairs Group is to facilitate the reconstruction of Al Anbar province, an area riddled with suicide bombers and insurgents. Chris, a team leader, is working with the Iraqi police, firefighters and contractors on rebuilding the infrastructure. His dad will use his 30 years of teaching experience to help establish new schools. They both know it won't be easy. "It will be hot and nerve-racking and people are going to die," says Chris. "My buddies say civil affairs is the most dangerous job in the Marine Corps right now. But I also think it's going to be gratifying to get that grid system up and water pumping."
"When I asked him why," says Chris, "he said, 'I want to make a difference. I'm a Marine.' For me, there were no more questions. I understood. As a Marine, you feel your time is never over."
Christian Fathers, God Needs You to Make a Difference. Only This Difference will impact ETERNITY:
An Army brat was boasting about his father to a Marine brat.
"My dad is an engineer. He can do everything. Do you know the Alps?"
"Yes," said the Marine brat.
"My dad has built them."
Then the Marine kid spoke: "And do you know the Dead Sea?"
"Yes."
"My dad killed it!"
The Fathers of Israel were Fighters. They were fighting to take possession of a land they could call their own. After centuries of wandering, being enslaved, they wanted to provide their families with a permanent home, a place they could settle down and start spreading roots.
Their Fathers Witnessed Mighty Miracles
Their fathers before them had witnessed a mighty miracle in the parting of the red sea and the destruction of Pharoah’s army. They had witnessed the victory over the Amalekites. They had seen God miraculously provide manna from heaven, water from a rock. Yet their fathers failed to give their hearts and minds to the awesom God who worked these mighty acts. In fact their fathers all perished in the wilderness, as God told them they would.
Now the sons were fathers, and these fathers too were witnessing mighty acts of the awesome God known as Jehovah. They witnessed the mighty miracle of the parting of the Jordan River. They witnessed the walls of a mighty city fall down with just the blowing of Rams horns and shouting of God’s people. They shared in the foolish defeat at Ai, and then the mighty victory over both Ai and Bethel.
JOSHUA HAS NOW LED THESE FIGHTING FATHERS TO THE VALLEY OF DECISION
BY NOW THE MESSAGE WAS RINGING LOUD AND CLEAR IN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS. THEY MUST MAKE A DECISION, A DECISION THAT WAS TO MARK THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, A DECISION THAT WAS TO MARK THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
THEIR FATHER’S FAILED TO HAVE A HEART BELIEF IN THE TRUE GOD
When it came time for their fathers to make such a decision, here is what they said:
Exodus 24:3 (NASB) Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, "All the words which the

Rhinos Must be Saved from Poaching

The critically endangered black rhino continued to expand into its historical range when a founder population of 13 animals was released on to a new home in Limpopo province recently. The animals form the sixth founder population created through the WWF/ Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife Black Rhino Range Expansion Project.
“All went well with the translocation and release,” said WWF project leader Dr Jacques Flamand. “The new area had a lot of rain soon after we released which means there will be good browse and water. The animals have settled well after spending a few days exploring the area.”
The recent surge in rhino poaching underlines the importance of conservation initiatives like the Black Rhino Range Expansion Project, Dr Flamand explained. “There are two sides to good rhino conservation. One is intensive security for existing populations. The other is managing to make sure that your population grows as fast as possible. If you do not manage for high population growth rate, then effectively over time you are losing a lot of animals that could have been born. Rapid population growth rate can mean the difference between survival and extinction for a critically endangered species.”
98 black rhino have been translocated through the Black Rhino Range Expansion Project so far, and at least 26 calves have been born on project sites. One site already has 11 calves, and 10 calves have been born in 2010.
There are currently about 4500 black rhino left in Africa, up from the lowest point of about 2100 in the early 1990s. Black rhino have a reputation for being bad-tempered but in fact are just shy and nervous of strangers. New research suggests they have social structures that were previously not recognised.
The Black Rhino Range Expansion Project aims to increase land available for black rhino conservation, thereby increasing numbers of this critically endangered species. This is done by forming partnerships with landowners with large areas of black rhino habitat. Usually several landowners agree to remove internal fences in order to create large enough areas to hold a significant population of black rhino. The Project also supports security measures on important black rhino source populations.
The Black Rhino Range Expansion Project is a partnership between WWF and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, and is supported by the Mazda Wildlife Fund.

La Cernia Limestone Chair

Unique piece
A chair machine-cut, drilled, hand-carved and polished in Limestone from La Cernia Quarry near Neuchatel in Switzerland.
The Quarry Series is an ongoing project combining various types of stone from quarries around the world with traditional stone masonry skills and modern diamond blade stone cutting equipment. So far I have completed projects in Ladycross Quarry in Northumberland; a small limestone quarry called La Cernia in Neuchatel, Switzerland; Goonvean Clay quarry in St Austell, Cornwall; De Lank Granite Quarry near Bodmin in Cornwall; a Delaware Bluestone quarry during a two week expedition to the Catskill Mountains in New York State; and a granite quarry near Chengnanzhuang in Hebei Province, China. I use primitive hand tools and techniques to carve them - a lump hammer and masonry chisels - in conjunction with diamond blade saws depending upon the available facilities at each quarry.
The first part of the process is in the selection of the stone and each piece is selected based on the natural characteristics (size, shape and grain) of the stone. The original quarried shape of the stone influences, or perhaps even dictates, the final form of the chair - a classical approach once coined ‘direct carving’. I only carve the stone where it is absolutely necessary and each stone will suggest a different design or poise for the chair to adopt. Each type of stone has a unique grain pattern and strength that demands a different hammer and chisel technique or cutting process, but with each type of stone the procedure remains extremely physical and one of great patience.

Iran Naqsh e Rustam
Naqsh-e Rustam (in Persian: نقش رستم Nāqš-e Rostām) is an archaeological site located about 12 km northwest of Persepolis, in Fars province, Iran. Naqsh-e Rustam lies a few hundred meters from Naqsh-e Rajab. The oldest relief at Naqsh-i Rustam is severely damaged and dates to c. 1000 BCE. It depicts a faint image of a man with unusual head-gear and is thought to be Elamite in origin. The depiction is part of a larger mural, most of which was removed at the command of Bahram II. The man with the unusual cap gives the site its name, Naqsh-e Rostam, "Picture of Rostam", because the relief was locally believed to be a depiction of the mythical hero Rostam. Four tombs belonging to Achaemenid kings are carved out of the rock face. They are all at a considerable height above the ground. The tombs are known locally as the 'Persian crosses', after the shape of the facades of the tombs. The site is known as salīb in Arabic (صليب), perhaps a corruption of the Persian word chalīpā, "cross". The entrance to each tomb is at the center of each cross, which opens onto to a small chamber, where the king lay in a sarcophagus. The horizontal beam of each of the tomb's facades is believed to be a replica of the entrance of the palace at Persepolis. One of the tombs is explicitly identified by an accompanying inscription to be the tomb of Darius I (r. 522-486 BCE).

Ghashghai - Persian Carpets
www.carpetvista.com http www.rugvista.com The Ghashghai nomads are found in the Fars province in the southwest of Iran and they live in the provinces of Fars, Khuzestan and Southern Isfahan but mostly in the surroundings of Shiraz. They move twice a year, between the winter pasture near the Persian Gulf and the summer pasture up in the Zagros mountains where it is much cooler. During the move it is possible to see the men with their typical round hats, running together with their dogs, large flock of sheep and herds of goats, along the roads swirling with clouds of dust. The women in their colourful clothes move along with the help of donkeys and horses towards new camp grounds. The tents that they live in are often made from goat hair.
