Sindhudurg Fort is the historical fort located near the Malvan Jetty, locally known as Malvancho Dhakko in the Sindhudurg district. It is situated 33 km away from Oros/Sindhudurg Nagari, its district headquarters.
The fort was built by the great Maratha king, Shivaji, as per his guidance and supervision. This fort was once the naval headquarters under the reign of the mighty Marathas. The fort is basically situated on the islet named Kurte Island. The fort is surrounded by the majestic Arabian Sea.
Sindhudurg means Fort of Sea as Sindhudurg is a word framed from two Hindi words “Sindhu” means Sea and ‘’Durg’’ means Fort. Shivaji built this ocean fort in 1664 AD on a low rocky 48-acre island off the Malvan coast. It is a historic place with its serene coastal beauty. It is said that Shivaji personally selected the site for the construction of the fort.
For casting and the foundation stones, over 2,000 khandis or say 4,000 mounds of iron and lead were used to lay it down firmly. There is also a temple dedicated to Shivaji inside the fort. This is the only one kind of shrine in the whole country, which was established by his son Rajaram.
The Sindhudurg Fort took almost three years to get completed and near about 100 Portuguese architects, specially invited from Goa with a strong manpower unit of 3000 were deployed for construction of this fort. The construction was made on the orders of Shivaji. It is said that 70,000 kg of iron was used to construct this fort. A mixture of mortar with molten iron was used to strengthen the fort. The walls of the fort are guarded by 52 bastions. Some of the bastions among this have secret exits that lead out of the fort.
The fort is spread over an area of 48 acres with surrounding walls, which are 12 feet thick and 29 feet high, stretched for 2 miles. The main entrance gate of the fort is Dilli Darwaja and it is such erected that it is visible only from close quarters and seems like as if part of the walls. There are also handprints as well as footprints of Shivaji which have been lodged within the fort on a slab.
Along with the architectural rich fort, there are temples also to visit which are a big attraction for tourists. There are three temples which belong to Goddess Bhavani, God Hanuman and Jarimari respectively. Along with the holy shrines, there is also the most famous temple of the fort which is devoted to Shivaji.
There are also 3 sweet water wells inside the fort premises namely Dudh Bav (Milk Well), Dahi Bav (Curd Well) and Sakhar Bav (Sugar Well). Underwater sports are also available for tourists here. The fort also exhibits a coconut tree for which people around the world make a visit here as it is the world’s only coconut tree that has branches and exhibit fruits. The most adventurous and untold fort attraction is an underground tunnel which is said to be used by the ladies during enemy attacks in ancient times. This tunnel, however, was closed partially by the British East India Company. As per legends, this tunnel is believed to go almost 12 km beneath the Arabian Sea.

Kütahya pottery lived in the shadow of the mighty Iznik, but it outlived its rival thanks to its verve and versatility, as a new book from the Sadberk Hanım Museum reveals. By Melanie Gibson
The Sadberk Hanım Museum’s summer exhibition focuses on its large and varied collection of Kütahya wares, which has expanded threefold since its original publication in 1991. The curators, Hülya Bilgi and İdil Zanbak Vermeersch, have prepared a beautiful catalogue illustrating 282 objects from the 18th to the early 20th centuries.
In the 16th and 17th centuries there were two major ceramic-producing centres in Turkey. The cities of Iznik and Kütahya, both on the western side of the Anatolian plateau, produced pottery with the same kind of silica-based body, known as stonepaste (or fritware), covered in a thin white slip to give a perfectly smooth base for a range of vivid underglaze colours, which were coated in a glossy transparent glaze. Iznik was closer to the capital, and throughout the 16th century its workshops executed commissions for palace circles, particularly for architectural projects, while Kütahya’s produced domestic tableware. Until the mid-17th century Iznik was the dominant producer, and a firman dated 1608 demands that a quantity of bora (sodium), an ingredient of the transparent glaze, should be shipped from Kütahya to Iznik’s tile-makers. The fact that an official document had to be issued to ensure this exchange suggests the Kütahya potters were reluctant to relinquish any of their supplies.
The gradual decline of the Iznik potteries – and the exhaustion of their supplies of raw materials was surely a factor – left the field open for the Kütahya potteries to become the country’s dominant makers of all types of ceramic wares in the following decades, rising to a peak of productivity and fame in the 18th century.
Kütahya ceramics are easily distinguished from the more formally decorated Iznik wares. Finely potted, generally quite small pieces with a thin white body are painted in a palette of bright colours in an exuberant but sketchy style, sometimes rather unfairly described as “rustic”. New designs included quaint human figures dressed in contemporary fashions, and patterns inspired by imported Indian textiles and by Japanese and Chinese porcelains. A wide range of shapes included every type of domestic object: inkwells and pen boxes, pilgrim flasks and rosewater sprinklers, dishes and bowls. Most ubiquitous are the pots, cups and saucers used for coffee. In Ottoman documents Kütahya potters are frequently referred to as fincancı, “coffee-cup makers”.
Documentary evidence shows that at the height of their fame and productivity (and before), management and operation of the Kütahya potteries were controlled by the city’s Armenian community. Two documents dated 1764 and 1766 record the settlement of a wage dispute within a workshop specialising in coffee cups.
The earlier document lists 34 masters and 69 journeymen, all Armenian with one exception. The agreement states that each ordinary potter would produce 100 cups a day; the masters were responsible for the decoration, and both groups promised not to set up extra pottery wheels or to paint cups in their own homes.
Famous also for their tiles, the Kütahya workshops won many commissions for tiles used in the construction and renovation of Christian and Muslim buildings. An imperial Ottoman edict dated 1710 refers to a large order for repairs to the palace of Ahmed III’s daughter Fatma Sultan. A few years later (1718–19), Armenians in Kütahya placed an order for a series of tiles depicting biblical scenes for the restoration of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Never used there, they were installed instead, alongside many others with more generic floral designs (a total of 10,000 tiles), in buildings within the Cathedral and Monastery of the two St Jameses in Jerusalem.
With the country experiencing economic difficulties in the 19th century, the ceramic workshops began to reduce their output, and the quality of their wares began to deteriorate. There are still a few examples of tiles used in buildings in Kütahya, but by the end of the century production was virtually at a standstill. In 1907 the governor of the city wrote in a report to the capital that while there had been as many as 300 potteries in the 17th century, the number had fallen by two thirds by the end of the 18th century and was reduced to only two, both on the point of closing down, at the time he was writing.
Born into a family of much-travelled artists, Joseph Schranz made his name in Ottoman Istanbul on the eve of the Crimean War with finely detailed, atmospheric panoramas of the Bosphorus. Admired by the Palace and by a new breed of intrepid tourist, he even trained a generation of Turkish artists to observe nature. Yet Schranz’s life in Turkey is an almost total mystery and his known works are tantalisingly rare

Abandoned for 20 years in the village of Bebek, it is a rare example of the refinement and restraint of 18th-century Ottoman design.

Covid Booster Shots Administered to People Over 60 in Italy
“In the light of EMA’s latest deliberation, we can go ahead with the third vaccine dose to people of all ages with a fragile immune system and to all people over 60, always six months after the second dose,” the Ministry said on Saturday.
In September, Italy had started administering third doses — of either Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines — to immuno-compromised people such as transplant patients, elderly people over 80 and residents in care homes, and healthcare workers.
The third dose will be offered as an option, since vaccination against coronavirus remains strongly recommended but not mandatory in Italy.
Meanwhile, the pandemic situation appeared “under control,” and the curve of coronavirus cases kept decreasing gradually, according to the latest weekly monitoring by the country’s National Health Institute (ISS) updated to October 3.
The incidence stood at 34 cases per every 100,000 inhabitants.
The data for hospital bed occupancy were also encouraging, according to Giovanni Rezza, Director of the Infectious Diseases Department at the ISS.
“We register a 4.9 percent and 4.2 percent of bed occupancy in normal Covid-19 wards and intensive care units, respectively, which is well below the critical thresholds,” Rezza explained in a video statement.
So far, the vaccination campaign in Italy has reached 79.9 percent of the target population (over 12), with over 43 million people fully immunized, official data showed.
To date, Italy has registered 4,698,038 Covid-19 cases, with 131,274 deaths and over 4.4 million recoveries.

An Egyptian short film, a Jordanian documentary and a Lebanese animation film took home three Robert Bosch Stiftung Film Prizes for International Cooperation at a gala held during Berlinale Talents, a six-day creative summit for up-and-coming filmmakers at the Berlin Film Festival.
In its second edition, the awards competition recognises an international partnership between young German and Arab filmmakers. The categories are animation, documentary and short fiction film, and the films must be produced in Germany as well as in a partner Arab country that is one of the 22 member states of the Arab League. The competition stresses the aspect of intercultural exchange.
The winning short fiction film was Egypt's Dry Hot Summers
, directed by Sherif El-Bendary, written by Nura El-Sheikh and co-produced by Claudia Jubeh (Germany) and Hossam El-Ouan (Egypt).
The 30-minute film captures the chance meeting of two lonely Egyptians on a bustling and hot summer day in Cairo. The day's journey disturbs the stifling routines of the two characters, taking them on an expedition of self-discovery.
The jury released the following statement about Dry Hot Summers
: "The team convinced the jury for its very precise acoustic and visual concept and its love for details in a bitter-sweet story of ordinary people in a dusty hot city."
The winning documentary film was Jordanian. Dubbed Possessed by Djinn
, the documentary looks at spiritual creatures in Islam and Arabic folklore, the djinn.
Written and directed by Dalia Al-Kury, and co-produced by Lino Rettinger (Germany) and Dalia Al-Kury (Jordan), the documentary was praised by the jury for "its stubborn determination to explore a story shrouded in prohibition, inhibition and prejudice, its honesty in a subjective and personal approach and its visually poetic language."
In the animation category, a Lebanese film dubbed Manivelle - Memories of the Man of Tomorrow came out on top. The 12-minute film follows an immortal robot that spent 75 years in Lebanon before searching for a final resting place. The jury granted Manivelle the animation prize for its ability to translate the country's tribulations through the characters.
"This project takes us through 68 years of Lebanon’s history. It was recognised for its artistic and creative approach, and most of all for its uniqueness," said the jurors.
Curator and programmer Rasha Salti, also a member of the jury, remarked that film is one of the most important ways of capturing the radical transformations unfolding in the Arab world.
"These are historic times; filmmakers are at the forefront of capturing the lived experience of change," she said.


text: The concept of utilizing precisely patterned and chemically loaded 3D porous containers akin to chemical voxels to enable dynamic visual patterns via spatial and temporal control of both local and global chemical release is described. Using numerical simulations and experiments, it is shown how variations in porosity, volume, shape, and relative positioning of the chemical voxels can be used to control the types of images that are formed with control in both space and time. Moving images are generated via controlled chemical release from an array of voxels to create an animation of a running man thereby illustrating proof-of-concept for a chemical display. Information displayed in a chemical display is geometrically encoded within voxels that can be printed on a variety of substrates including flexible surfaces. Spatial and temporal programmed chemical release is used to generate an animation of a running man.

PG's Shawn Hammond is On Location in Frankfurt, Germany, for the 2010 Musikmesse show where he visits the Morpheus FX booth. In this segment, we get a demo and walk-thru of their newest effects pedal - the Capo Pedal.
With the Capo pedal you can electronically capo your guitar and maintain perfect pitch. For example, play an E chord in standard tuning, then use the Capo pedal to up tune your guitar so the chord is changed to an F, F#, G, G#, A, Bb or B. In addition, the CAPO pedal has Full Octave Up Pitch and a great-sounding Octaver/12- string emulator that causes your 6-string to sound like a 12-string, with octaves for strings 3-6, and doubles strings 1 and 2.
It pedal also features effect-toggling so you can instantly toggle back and forth between the up pitch and the Effect Off for a cool up/down pitch-shift effect during rapid ascending/ descending arpeggios and scale runs.The Capo uses proprietary polyphonic pitch up algorithms that maintain perfect harmonic accuracy and tonally correct overtones.

Dharamsala (HP), September 17
A 32-year-old tourist from Punjab’s Jalandhar drowned here while bathing in a canal near the Bhagsu Nag waterfall, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place on Saturday when Pawan Kumar, while bathing near the waterfall, was swept away in the strong currents, they added.
Kangra ASP Bir Bahadur said the McLeodganj police received information about the incident on Saturday evening from one Amit Kumar who reported that he and his four friends were taking bath in the canal near Bhagsu Nag waterfall when suddenly the water level increased and his friend Pawan got washed away.

Sports brand Adidas takes financial hit as it drops Kanye West
By our News Team | 2022
Adidas, which manufactures and markets West’s Yeezy sportswear brand, has immediately cut all ties over controversial and ‘hateful’ comments.
Global sports brand Adidas has cut its ties with entertainment megastar and billionaire Kanye West over a series of bizarre and controversial actions, most recently comments about Jewish people that have been described by the brand as ‘hateful and dangerous’.
In ending the relationship with immediate effect, Adidas will also take a financial hit estimated to be in the region of US$250-million, as it will lose the profits it makes from manufacturing the high-end Yeezy sneaker and apparel brand in collaboration with West.

The rapper and entertainer, who is also known for his relationship with reality TV star Kim Kardashian, has previously remarked that Adidas could not drop him – presumably for financial reasons as his Yeezy brand is highly successful and Adidas has seen its other product lines struggle of late.
Other companies have also terminated relationships
West has already had business relationships terminated by Balenciaga, Gap (both fashion brands) and JPMorgan Chase (a major bank). His long-time talent agency CAA has also reportedly stopped representing him, while Instagram and Twitter have suspended his accounts.
Recently West tweeted that he was going “death con 3 on Jewish people” and suggested on Instagram that rapper Diddy was controlled by Jewish people. He has also previously made other controversial comments, such as slavery being “a choice”.
In a media statement, Adidas said West’s comments were “unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness”. It added that it would end production of items under West’s Yeezy brand and stop all payments to the entertainer and his companies.
“West had been associated with Nike for years, bringing out the Air Yeezy in 2009, but broke away in 2013, lending his name to Adidas instead. They launched their first Yeezy shoe together in 2015 – a partnership that helped make him a billionaire,” the London-based Guardian newspaper reported.
“The collaboration – which appears to have been removed from Adidas’s website with immediate effect – encompassed sportswear, jackets and trainers. However, it was the Yeezy Boost trainer that drew queues and high price tags for both new and second-hand.”

I didn’t grow up eating Indian food. In fact, I don’t think I ate Indian food until I was 25 years old and starting to become obsessed with Bollywood movies! But once I did try it, I was hooked, and I’ve come to rely on a handful of cookbooks whenever I’m craving something spicy.
If you’re intimidated by the giant list of spices some recipes seem to require, 5 Spices 50 Dishes is the book for you. Ruta Kahate pares it down to 5 basic spices that you can buy in just about any grocery store, and shows you how to use them in different proportions to make 50 authentic, delicious Indian dishes. She also has the best, clearest-written chapati (flatbread) recipe I’ve found. Start with: Railroad Potatoes, Masala Omelet, and Chapatis (or buttered toast, if you’re feeling lazy) would make a great weekend lunch/brunch.
Entice With Spice is my favorite Indian cookbook. If for some reason I could only have one, it would be this one. There’s a great guide to ingredients and techniques at the beginning, every recipe is photographed so you know what it should look like, and the instructions are clearly written and nicely laid out. There is a good mix of North and South Indian dishes, too. A bonus – nearly every recipe has instructions for freezing and re-heating, so you don’t have to wonder whether freezing something will ruin the texture or taste. Start with: Lemon Rice, or make Aloo Matar (potato and pea curry) with Parathas (flaky flatbreads) – the leftovers are even better for breakfast the next day!
Playing around with Indian flavors, Modern Spice combines traditional spices and flavors with contemporary ingredients and techniques, resulting in recipes like Red Pepper and Green Tomatillo Chutney, Indian-Style Chili in Bread Bowls, and Saffron-Cardamom Macaroons. There are more traditional dishes here, too, but geared toward American kitchens and ways of eating. Start with: Green Beans Subzi, or Sunday Night Skillet Chicken and Rice.
Madhur Jaffrey is one of the best-known Indian food writers, and for good reason. Her recipes aren’t always easy, but they are well-explained, and so deliciously described that I sometimes find myself craving food I’ve never tasted, just from flipping through one of her books. Indian Cooking is a good basic book for beginning Indian cooks – she includes a guide to spices and other unusual ingredients, and gives suggested menus. Start with: Minced Meat with Peas (Keema Matar), Delhi-Style Lamb Cooked with Potatoes (Aloo Gosht), Red Split Lentils with Cumin Seeds (Masoor Dal), or, if you’re feeling adventurous, Moong Dal Pancakes with Peas (Gujerati Poore).
Easy Indian Cooking is a good, basic, no-frills cookbook. The recipes are nicely formatted and the picture inserts all look very appetizing. This is a good book for those harder-to-find recipes that don’t always make it into the more popular cookbooks. Start with: Upma (Semolina with Vegetables), Gajar ka Halwa (Caramelized Carrot Pudding), or Cauliflower and Potatoes with Ginger and Chile.
Vegetarians probably already know that Indian food is a vegetarian paradise, but if you’re looking for something new, Dakshin: Vegetarian Cuisine from South India is worth your time. South Indian food has a flavor all its own (one I’m starting to prefer to North Indian food), and the endlessly creative ways to use lentils, rice, yogurt, and vegetables will amaze you. Cooking from this book will require a trip to the Indian grocery store, but once you have the staples you’re good to go. Start with: Potato Masala, Ordinary Rasam, Semolina Pudding.

After the exciting bunch of images featuring Iron Patriot, a hug internet buzz began regarding the iconic armor. However, Latino Review is now reporting that Iron Patriot is not on the film and that armor is not other than War Machine.
All this confusion started when the picture of a “white man” wearing the suit hit online, but nobody could tell who he was. Now it’s reported that he is just a stunt man replacing Don Cheadle and that’s why the armor has the War Machine gun on his back and the american colours are simply explained because “The US Government has had their hands on this Stark suit for a while, and apparently they’ve decided to make it more patriotic (especially with the nano-technology stuff)”

Iriquois Indian Nation
Total population: approx. 125,000 (80,000 in the U.S, 45,000 in Canada)
The Iroquois, also known as the Haudenosaunee or the "People of the Longhous," are an indigenous people of North America. In the 16th century or earlier, the Iroquois came together in an association known today as the Iroquois League, or the "League of Peace and Power." The original Iroquois League was often known as the Five Nations, and comprised the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations. After the Tuscarora nation joined the League in the 18th century, the Iroquois have often been known as the Six Nations. The League is embodied in the Grand Council, an assembly of fifty hereditary sachems.
When Europeans first arrived in North America, the Iroquois were based in what is now the northeastern United States, primarily in what is referred to today as upstate New York. Presently, Iroquois live primarily in the United States and Canada.
The Iroquois League has often also been known as the Iroquois Confederacy, but some modern scholars now make a distinction between the League and the Confederacy. According to this interpretation, the Iroquois League refers to the ceremonial and cultural institution embodied in the Grand Council, while the Iroquois Confederacy was the decentralized political and diplomatic entity that emerged in response to European colonization. The League still exists, but the Confederacy was shattered by the defeat of the British and allied Iroquois nations in the American Revolutionary War.
The Iroquois also refers to themselves as the Haudenosaunee, which means "People of the Longhouse," or more accurately, "They Are Building a Long House." The term is said to have been introduced by The Great Peacemaker at the time of the formation of the League. It implies that the nations of the League should live together as families in the same longhouse. Symbolically, the Seneca were the guardians of the western door of the "tribal longhouse" and the Mohawk were the guardians of the eastern door. The Onondagas, whose homeland was in the center of Haudenosaunee territory, were keepers of the League's (both literal and figurative) central flame.
The name "Iroquois" was bestowed upon the Haudenosaunee by the French and has several potential origins. A possible origin of the name Iroquois is reputed to come from a French version of irinakhoiw, a Huron (Wyandot) name - considered an insult - meaning "Black Snakes" or "real adders." The Iroquois were enemies of the Huron and the Algonquin, who allied with the French, because of their rivalry in the fur trade.
The Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) often end their oratory with the phrase hiro kone; hiro translates as "I have spoken," and kone can be translated several ways, the most common being "in joy," "in sorrow," or "in truth." Hiro kone to the French encountering the Haudenosaunee would sound like "Iroquois," in the French language of the time.
Another version is however supported by French linguists such as Henriette Walter and anthropologists such as Dean Snow. According to this account, "Iroquois" would derive from a Basque expression, Hilokoa, meaning the "killer people." This expression would have been applied to the Iroquois because they were the enemy of the local Algonquins, with whom the Basque fishermen were trading. However, because there is no "L" sound in the Algonquian languages of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence region, the name became "Hirokoa," which is the name the French understood when Algonquians referred to the same pidgin language as the one they used with the Basque. The French then transliterated the word according to their own phonetic rules, thus providing "Iroquois.""History
Formation of the League
The language spoken by members of the League is different from that of the other speakers of the languages of the same Iroquoian family. This suggests that while they had a common historical and cultural origin, they diverged over a long enough time that the languages became different. Archaeological evidence shows that the Iroquois lived in the Finger Lakes region from at least 1000 AD.
The Iroquois moved to the south in long wars of invasion in present-day Kentucky. According to one pre-contact theory, it was Iroquois who, by about 1200, had pushed tribes of the Ohio River valley, such as the Quapaw (Akansea) and Ofo (Mosopelea) out of the region in a migration west of the Mississippi River. However, La Salle definitely listed the Mosopelea among the Ohio Valley peoples overthrown by the Iroquois in the early 1670s, during the later Beaver Wars. By 1673, these Siouan groups had settled in their historically known territories of the Midwest, with some displacing other tribes to the west in their turn. Iroquois also live in longhouses.The Iroquois League was established prior to major European contact. Most archaeologists and anthropologists believe that the League was formed sometime between about 1450 and 1600.
A few claims have been made for an earlier date; one recent study has argued that the League was formed in 1142, based on a solar eclipse in that year that seems to fit one oral tradition. Anthropologist Dean Snow argues that the archaeological evidence does not support a date earlier than 1450, and that recent claims for a much earlier date "may be for contemporary political purposes."
According to tradition, the League was formed through the efforts of two men, Deganawida, sometimes known as the Great Peacemaker, and Hiawatha. They brought a message, known as the Great Law of Peace, to the squabbling nations. The nations who joined the League were the Seneca, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Mohawk. Once they ceased most of their infighting, the Iroquois rapidly became one of the strongest forces in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century northeastern North America.
According to legend, an evil Onondaga chieftain named Tadodaho was the last to be converted to the ways of peace by The Great Peacemaker and Hiawatha. He became the spiritual leader of the Haudenosaunee. This event is said to have occurred at Onondaga Lake near Syracuse, New York. The title Tadodaho is still used for the league's spiritual leader, the fiftieth chief, who sits with the Onondaga in council. He is the only one of the fifty to have been chosen by the entire Haudenosaunee people. The current Tadodaho is Sid Hill of the Onondaga Nation.Expansion
In Reflections in Bullough's Pond, historian Diana Muir argues that the pre-contact Iroquois were an imperialist, expansionist culture whose use of the corn/beans/squash agricultural complex enabled them to support a large population that made war against Algonquian peoples. Muir uses archaeological data to argue that the Iroquois expansion onto Algonquian lands was checked by the Algonquian adoption of agriculture. This enabled them to support populations of their own that were large enough to include a body of warriors to defend against the threat of Iroquois conquest.
The Iroquois may be the Kwedech described in the oral legends of the Mi'kmaq nation of Eastern Canada. These legends relate that the Mi'kmaq in the late pre-contact period had gradually driven their enemies - the Kwedech - westward across New Brunswick, and finally out of the Lower St. Lawrence River region. The Mi'kmaq named the last-conquered land "Gespedeg" or "lost land," leading to the French word "Gaspé." The "Kwedech" are generally considered to have been Iroquois, specifically the Mohawk; their expulsion from Gaspé by the Mi'kmaq has been estimated as occurring ca. 1535-1600. Around 1535, Jacques Cartier reported Iroquoian groups on Gaspé and along the St. Lawrence River, and Samuel de Champlain found Algonquian groups in the same locations in 1608 - but the exact tribal identity of any of these groups has been debated.
Iroquoian tribes were also well-known in the south by this time. From the time of the first English settlement in Jamestown, Virginia (1607), numerous 17th century accounts describe a powerful people known to the Powhatan Confederacy as the Massawomeck, and to the French as the Antouhonoron, who came from the north, beyond the Susquehannocks. These "Massawomeck"/"Antouhonoron" have often been identified with the Iroquois proper, but other Iroquoian candidates include the Erie tribe who were finally destroyed by the Iroquois in 1654. It is certain that the Five Nations acquired political control of most of Virginia west of the fall line over the years 1670-1710, a region which they continued to claim until they began selling this area to their British allies in 1722.Beaver Wars
It is based on the "Hiawatha Wampum Belt ... created from purple and white wampum beads centuries ago to symbolize the union forged when the former enemies buried their weapons under the Great Tree of Peace." It represents the original five nations that were united by the Peacemaker and Hiawatha. The tree symbol in the center represents an Eastern White Pine, the needles of which are clustered in groups of five. Beginning in 1609, the League engaged in the Beaver Wars with the French and their Iroquoian-speaking Huron allies. They also put great pressure on the Algonquian peoples of the Atlantic coast and what is now the boreal Canadian Shield region of Canada, and not infrequently fought the English colonies as well. During the seventeenth century, they were said to have exterminated the Neutral Nation and Erie Tribe to the west. The wars were a way to control the lucrative fur trade, although additional reasons are often given for these wars.
In 1628, the Mohawks defeated the Mahicans to gain a monopoly in the fur trade with the Dutch at Fort Orange, New Netherland. The Mohawks would not allow Canadian Indians to trade with the Dutch. In 1645, a tentative peace was forged between the Iroquois and the Hurons, Algonquins and French. In 1646, Jesuit missionaries at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons went as envoys to the Mohawk lands to protect the fragile peace of the time. However, Mohawk attitudes toward the peace soured during the Jesuits' journey. They were attacked by a Mohawk party en route. Taken to the village of Ossernenon (Auriesville, N.Y.), the moderate Turtle and Wolf clans decreed setting the priests free. Angered by this, the more hawkish Bear clan killed Jean de Lalande and Isaac Jogues on October 18, 1646. The two French priests were later commemorated as among the eight North American Martyrs. In 1649 during the Beaver Wars, the Iroquois used recently purchased Dutch guns to attack the Hurons. From 1651 to 1652, the Iroquois attacked the Susquehannocks without success.
In the early seventeenth century, the Iroquois were at the height of their power, with a population of about twelve thousand people. In 1654, they invited the French to establish a trading and missionary settlement at Onondaga (in present-day New York state). The following year, the Mohawk attacked and expelled the French from this trading post, possibly because of the sudden death of 500 Indians from an epidemic of smallpox, a European infectious disease to which they had no immunity.From 1658 to 1663, the Iroquois were at war with the Susquehannock and their Delaware and Province of Maryland allies. In 1663, a large Iroquois invasion force was defeated at the
Susquehannock main fort. In 1663, the Iroquois were at war with the Sokoki tribe of the upper Connecticut River. Smallpox struck again; and through the effects of disease, famine, and war, the Iroquois were threatened by extermination. In 1664, an Oneida party struck at allies of the Susquehannock on Chesapeake Bay.
In 1665, three of the Five Nations made peace with the French. The following year, the Canadian Governor sent the Carignan regiment under Marquis de Tracy to confront the Mohawks and the Oneida. The Mohawks avoided battle, and the French burned their villages and crops. In 1667, the remaining two Nations signed a peace treaty with the French. This treaty lasted for 17 years.
Around 1670, the Iroquois drove the Siouan Mannahoac tribe out of the northern Virginia Piedmont region. They began to claim ownership of it by right of conquest. In 1672, the Iroquois were defeated by a war party of Susquehannock. The Iroquois appealed to the French for support and asked Governor Frontenac to assist them against the Susquehannock because "it would be a shame for him to allow his children to be crushed, as they saw themselves to be...they not having the means of going to attack their fort, which was very strong, nor even of defending themselves if the others came to attack them in their villages."
Some old histories state that the Iroquois defeated the Susquehannock during this time period. As no record of a defeat has been found, historians have concluded that no defeat occurred. In 1677, the Iroquois adopted the majority of the Susquehannock into their nation.
By 1677, the Iroquois formed an alliance with the English through an agreement known as the Covenant Chain. Together, they battled to a standstill the French who were allied with the Huron. These Iroquoian people had been a traditional and historic foe of the Confederacy. The Iroquois colonized the northern shore of Lake Ontario and sent raiding parties westward all the way to Illinois Country. The tribes of Illinois were eventually defeated, not by the Iroquois, but rather by the Potawatomis. In 1684, the Iroquois invaded Virginian and Illinois territory again, and unsuccessfully attacked the French fort at St. Louis. Later that year, the Virginia Colony agreed at Albany to recognize the Iroquois' right to use the North-South path running east of the Blue Ridge (later the Old Carolina Road), provided they did not intrude on the English settlements east of the fall line. In 1679, the Susquehannock, with Iroquois help, attacked Maryland's Piscataway and Mattawoman allies. Peace was not reached until 1685.
With support from the French, the Algonquian nations drove the Iroquois out of the territories north of Lake Erie and west of present-day Cleveland, regions which had been conquered during the Beaver Wars. Jacques-René de Brisay de Denonville, Marquis de Denonville, Governor of New France from 1685 to 1689, set out for Fort Frontenac with a well-organized force. There they met with the 50 hereditary sachems of the Iroquois Confederation from the Onondaga council fire, who came under a flag of truce. Denonville recaptured the fort for New France and seized, chained, and shipped the 50 Iroquois Chiefs to Marseilles, France, to be used as galley slaves. He then ravaged the land of the Seneca. The destruction of the Seneca land infuriated the Iroquois Confederation.
On August 4, 1689, they burned to the ground Lachine, a small town adjacent to Montreal. Fifteen hundred Iroquois warriors had been harassing Montreal defenses for many months prior to that. They finally exhausted and defeated Denonville and his forces. His tenure was followed by the return of Frontenac, who succeeded Denonville as Governor for the next nine years (1689-1698). Frontenac had been arranging a new plan of attack to lessen the effects of the Iroquois in North America and - realizing the danger of the imprisonment of the Sachems - he located the 13 surviving leaders and returned with them to New France that October 1698.
During King William's War (North American part of the War of the Grand Alliance), the Iroquois were allied with the English. In July 1701, they concluded the "Nanfan Treaty," deeding the English a large tract north of the Ohio River. The Iroquois claimed to have conquered this territory 80 years earlier. France did not recognize the validity of this treaty, as it had the strongest presence within the area in question. Meanwhile, the Iroquois were negotiating peace with the French; together they signed the Great Peace of Montreal that same year.French and Indian Wars
After the 1701 peace treaty with the French, the Iroquois remained mostly neutral even though during Queen Anne's War (North American part of the War of the Spanish Succession) they were involved in some planned attacks against the French. Four delegates of the Iroquoian Confederacy, the "Indian kings," traveled to London in 1710 to meet Queen Anne in an effort to seal an alliance with the British. Queen Anne was so impressed by her visitors that she commissioned their portraits by court painter John Verelst. The portraits are believed to be some of the earliest surviving oil portraits of Aboriginal peoples taken from life.
In the first quarter of the eighteenth century, the Tuscarora fled north from the British colonization of North Carolina and petitioned to become the sixth nation. This was a non-voting position but placed them under the protection of the Confederacy.
In 1721 and 1722, Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood of Virginia concluded a new Treaty at Albany with the Iroquois, renewing the Covenant Chain and agreeing to recognize the Blue Ridge as the demarcation between Virginia Colony and the Iroquois. However, as white settlers began to move beyond the Blue Ridge and into the Shenandoah Valley in the 1730s, the Iroquois objected and were told that the agreed demarcation merely prevented them from trespassing east of the Blue Ridge, but it did not prevent English from expanding west of them. The Iroquois were on the verge of going to war with the Virginia Colony, when in 1743, Governor Gooch paid them the sum of 100 pounds sterling for any settled land in the Valley that was claimed by the Iroquois. The following year at the Treaty of Lancaster, the Iroquois sold Virginia all their remaining claims on the Shenandoah Valley for 200 pounds in gold.
During the French and Indian War (North American part of the Seven Years' War), the Iroquois sided with the British against the French and their Algonquian allies, both traditional enemies of the Iroquois. The Iroquois hoped that aiding the British would also bring favors after the war. In actuality, few Iroquois joined the campaign, and in the Battle of Lake George, a group of Mohawk and French ambushed a Mohawk-led British column. The British government issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 after the war, forbidding white settlements beyond the Appalachian Mountains, but this proclamation was largely ignored by the settlers, and the Iroquois agreed to adjust this line again at the Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1768), whereby they sold the British Crown all their remaining claim to the lands between the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers.American Revolution
During the American Revolution, many Tuscarora and the Oneida sided with the colonists, while the Mohawk, Seneca, Onondaga and Cayuga remained loyal to Great Britain, thereby marking the first major split among the Six Nations. Joseph Louis Cook offered his services to the United States and received a Congressional commission as a Lieutenant Colonel - the highest rank held by any Native American during the war. However, after a series of successful operations against frontier settlements - led by the Mohawk war chief Joseph Brant, other war chiefs, and British allies - the future United States reacted with vengeance. In 1779, George Washington ordered the Sullivan Campaign led by Col. Daniel Brodhead and General John Sullivan against the Iroquois nations to "not merely overrun, but destroy," the British-Indian alliance.Post-war
After the war, the ancient central fireplace of the League was reestablished at Buffalo Creek. Captain Joseph Brant and a group of Iroquois left New York to settle in Canada. As a reward for their loyalty to the British Crown, they were given a large land grant on the Grand River. Brant's crossing of the river gave the original name to the area: Bran's ford. By 1847, European settlers began to settle nearby and named the village Brantford, Ontario. The original Mohawk settlement was on the south edge of the present-day city at a location still favorable for launching and landing canoes.Culture
The Iroquois are a melting pot. League traditions allowed for the dead to be symbolically replaced through the "Mourning War" in raids intended to seize captives to
replace lost compatriots and take vengeance on non-members. This tradition was common to native people of the northeast and was quite different from European settlers' notions of combat.
The Iroquois aimed to create an empire by incorporating conquered peoples and remolding them into Iroquois and thus naturalizing them as full citizens of the tribe. Cadwallader Colden wrote "It has been a constant maxim with the Five Nations, to save children and young men of the people they conquer, to adopt them into their own Nation, and to educate them as their own children, without distinction; These young people soon forget their own country and nation and by this policy the Five Nations make up the losses which their nation suffers by the people they lose in war." By 1668, two-thirds of the Oneida village were assimilated Algonquians and Hurons. At Onondaga there were Native Americans of seven different nations and among the Seneca eleven.Food
The Iroquois were a mix of farmers, fishers, gatherers, and hunters, though their main diet came from farming. The main crops they farmed were corn, beans and squash, which were called the three sisters and were considered special gifts from the Creator. These crops are grown strategically. The cornstalks grow, the bean plants climb the stalks, and the squash grow beneath, inhibiting weeds and keeping the soil moist under the shade of their broad leaves. In this combination, the soil remained fertile for several decades. The food was stored during the winter, and it lasts for two to three years. When the soil eventually lost its fertility, the Iroquois migrated.
Gathering was the job of the women and children. Wild roots, greens, berries and nuts were gathered in the summer. During spring, maple syrup was tapped from the trees, and herbs were gathered for medicine.
The Iroquois hunted mostly deer but also other game such as wild turkey and migratory birds. Muskrat and beaver were hunted during the winter. Fishing was also a significant source of food because the Iroquois were located near a large river. They fished salmon, trout, bass, perch and whitefish. In the spring the Iroquois netted, and in the winter fishing holes were made in the ice.Wampum
Since they had no writing system, the Iroquois depended upon the spoken word to pass down their history, traditions, and rituals. As an aid to memory, the Iroquois used shells and shell beads. The Europeans called the beads wampum, from wampumpeag, a word used by Indians in the area who spoke Algonquin languages.
The type of wampum most commonly used in historic times was bead wampum, cut from various seashells, ground and polished, and then bored through the center with a small hand drill. The purple and white beads, made from the shell of the quahog clam, were arranged on belts in designs representing events of significance.
Certain elders were designated to memorize the various events and treaty articles represented on the belts. These men could "read" the belts and reproduce their contents with great accuracy. The belts were stored at Onondaga, the capital of the confederacy, in the care of a designated wampum keeper.
Famous wampum belts of the Iroquois include the Hiawatha Wampum, which represents the (original) Five Nations, the spatial arrangement of their individual territories, and the nature of their roles in the Confederacy. The modern Iroquois flag is a rendition of the pattern of the original Hiawatha Wampum belt. The Two Row Wampum, also known as Guswhenta, depicts the agreement made between the Iroquois league and representatives of the Dutch government in 1613, an agreement upon which all subsequent Iroquois treaties with Europeans and Americans have been based. Today, replicas of the Two Row Wampum are often displayed for ceremonial or educational purposes. Other historical wampum belts representing specific agreements or historical occurrences are known to exist, although many have been lost or stolen.Women in Society
When Americans and Canadians of European descent began to study Iroquois customs in the 18th and 19th centuries, they observed that women assumed a position in Iroquois society roughly equal in power to that of the men. Individual women could hold property including dwellings, horses and farmed land, and their property before marriage stayed in their possession without being mixed with that of their husband's. The work of a woman's hands was hers to do with as she saw fit. A husband lived in the longhouse of his wife's family. A woman choosing to divorce a shiftless or otherwise unsatisfactory husband was able to ask him to leave the dwelling, taking any of his possessions with him. Women had responsibility for the children of the marriage, and children were educated by members of the mother's family. The clans were matrilineal, that is, clan ties were traced through the mother's line. If a couple separated, the woman kept the children. Violence against women by men was virtually unknown.
The chief of a clan could be removed at any time by a council of the mothers of that clan, and the chief's sister was responsible for nominating his successor.Spiritual Beliefs
Spirits animated all of nature and controlled the changing of the seasons. Key festivals coincided with the major events of the agricultural calendar, including a harvest festival of thanksgiving. The Great Peacemaker (Deganawida) was their prophet. After the arrival of the Europeans, many Iroquois became Christians, among them Kateri Tekakwitha, a young woman of Mohawk-Algonkin parents. Traditional religion was revived to some extent in the second half of the 18th century by the teachings of the Iroquois prophet Handsome Lake.People

New York, New York
Martina Navratilova and Julia Lemigova announced their engagement today, when Ms. Navratilova surprised Ms. Lemigova by proposing to her during the men's semi-finals at the US Open tennis championships in New York City. The couple has been together for six years and now live in Miami, Florida with Lemigova's two school aged daughters.
"I have been waiting for the right time to ask Julia to marry me. I thought this was the right place and the right time to pop the question and thankfully I got a 'yes'," said a relieved and happy Navratilova, a four–time winner of the women's singles championship here. Lemigova added "We are very happy together and Martina has made our family complete."
Navratilova is at the US Open in her capacity as one of the Tennis Channel's lead on-air commentators. She is also an ambassador for the WTA Finals in Singapore through 2018. Navratilova divides her time between her family life, other broadcasting for the BBC and BT Sport and public speaking engagements. She is also a long-time advocate for civil rights, animal welfare and environmental issues. Lemigova is the founder of Russie Blanche, a manufacturer and distributor of luxury skin care products.


The Legends Poll, a growing college football polling body consisting of former head coaches, is set to announce Wednesday the addition of its 18th voting member: former Georgia Tech head coach Bobby Ross.
Photo courtesy Georgia Tech. Ross' 1990 Yellow Jackets were named co-national championship with Colorado.
A longtime college and NFL coach, Ross led the Yellow Jackets for five seasons between 1987-91. Under his tutelage in 1990, Georgia Tech claimed its most recent national championship when it tied for first nationally with Colorado in the final Coaches poll of the season.
"I'm honored to be a part of this, it really is special to me," Ross told The Telegraph on Tuesday afternoon. "It's a great selection of college coaches to be a part of."
Of those currently sitting on the voting committee, nine are national champions and 11 are in the college football Hall of Fame. The group includes the likes of former Georgia head coach Vince Dooley, former Auburn head coach Pat Dye, BYU's LaVell Edwards, Ohio State's John Cooper and Alabama's Gene Stallings, among others.
"(Ross) has been around for a long time; he's a really good coach," Legends Poll executive director Andy Curtin told The Telegraph on Tuesday.
In addition to his time with the Yellow Jackets, Ross spent five seasons each at The Citadel and at Maryland. While with the Terrapins, he led them to three ACC titles before coming to Atlanta and bringing parts of his now legendary staff along with him.
"The connections with all of our coaches goes way back," Curtin said. "There are people each of them coached with who are still in the game and who are still leading successful programs. If you look at Ross' Georgia Tech staff alone, you see where he had Ralph Freidgen and George O'Leary."
After Ross left Georgia Tech for the NFL following the 1991 season, O'Leary took over the Yellow Jackets in 1995, and Freidgen soon departed to coach at Maryland. Freidgen is still at Maryland, while O'Leary is now at Central Florida.
Created in 2005, the Legends Poll is not currently affiliated with the BCS -- the system that now selects college football's national champion at season's end -- but instead it works as an independent polling system throughout the year. According to those with the Poll, several former players and pundits like ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit laud the organization's efforts.
In hopes of coming up with a fairly accurate weekly poll, the coaches on the Legends Poll committee watch and attend games on Saturdays during the season, then, the following Mondays they discuss film of approximately 40 teams they are assigned to watch. Each coach can be assigned up to three teams to watch weekly film of during the season, giving them a chance to intimately understand the inner-workings of those particular programs.
According to Curtin, Ross likely will be assigned Georgia Tech, Maryland and Virginia Tech. He'll be given Virginia Tech in part because he once coached with Hokies head coach Frank Beamer.
"I'll see a lot more of them now," Ross said of the Yellow Jackets.
Since retiring in 2007 after a stint at Army, the 73-year-old Ross said he tries to see at least one Yellow Jackets game a year in person, regardless if it's on the road or at home.

Color. I love warm color. True, when I loved in New York, though untrained, I spent lots of time in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, Brooklyn Museum and often visited Christie’s and Sotheby’s pre-Sale exhibitions of American Art and European Art. I love fine Art and I love color.
Mt. Meron in the upper Galilee region of Israel had a good number of Turkish Meadow Brown butterflies, they sporting rich, warm color.
I spent several days seeking the best Maniola Telmessia I could find.
I like this for that, and when it went from flower to flower I followed.
Here’s the image I want to share. It evokes comely color, warm, agreeable and inviting.

Oracle is rolling out part of its Product Value Chain suite called Agile Customer Needs Management, a “collaborative, open-innovation” software platform that allows customers to capture and prioritize product ideas, product requirements and customer feedback from a variety of internal and external sources. In theory, this allows product teams to find the right ideas and capitalize on them.
Oracle’s Product Value Chain suite includes Agile Product Lifecycle Management, Oracle Product Hub, Oracle’s AutoVue Enterprise Visualization and Oracle Product Data Quality, all of which combine to help a business manage a product throughout its lifecycle. Like a number of recent enterprise software products that integrate social networking tools, Agile Customer Needs Management includes the ability to tag, review and leave comments.
“We are broadening our Product Value Chain leadership with the launch of Agile Customer Needs Management, allowing companies to effectively manage creative ideas and customer requirements that will generate the most value for their R&D investment,” Hardeep Gulati, Oracle’s vice president of PLM (product lifecycle management) and PIM (product information management) product strategy, said in a June 21 statement. “By providing enterprise 2.0 social features and an easy-to-use user interface, [Oracle makes it so that] customers can leverage the collective intelligence of their employees, customers and partners to identify the features with greatest market potential. This helps promote a culture of open innovation.”
Oracle’s steady releases throughout 2010 seem part of the company’s larger plan to become the largest IT systems vendor in the world. On June 14, the company introduced Oracle Business Process Management Suite 11g, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware that combines business process administration with collaboration tools in a single platform. The company has been touting the offering’s combination of middleware platform and social networking as an industry first.
“Today, critical business processes span disparate systems across the enterprise, making it difficult to model, monitor or manage them,” David Shaffer, vice president of product management for Oracle Fusion Middleware, said in a June 14 statement. “Built on a unified process foundation, Oracle Business Process Management Suite 11g enables organizations to engage both businesses and IT users more easily in the management of core business processes and simplify the complete business process life cycle.”
The platform includes a “unified process engine” for executing BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) and BPMN processes, as well as human workflow and rules, and allows for end-to-end management of business processes. Its social components allow users to collaborate through wikis and blogs and establish “team spaces.”
Another of Oracle’s recent releases was Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite 11g, also a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, which combines a variety of the company’s back-end offerings, including process and records management, into a complete system.

The prosecutor had asked for «an example to be made» of the teenager, who is not a student, to deter other schoolchildren thinking of staging lockouts or sit-in protests at their schools. «The occupation of schools has become fashionable and we have to tackle it,» said prosecutor S. Karamanis. «We have to rein them in.» Fourteen teenage students appeared in court on Thursday accused of causing some 1 million euros’ worth of damage to the complex, which houses six schools. Three out-of-school suspects, including the 18-year-old sentenced yesterday, have also been accused of wreaking havoc in classrooms, laboratories and offices. Witnesses said the teenager obtained the keys to the school and threw water over teachers and students when they attempted to enter the complex. He appealed the sentence and was released.

Lack of cash stalls road improvements
By BECKY VOLLMER
EDWARDSVILLE -- The good news is that the plans for improving Illinois Routes 157 and 159 exist. The bad news is that the money does not.
That was the message that Jim Easterly, district engineer for the Illinois Department of Transportation, delivered Tuesday night to city officials and residents.
Easterly updated the status of several ongoing and planned road projects that motorists have been eagerly awaiting.
Some of the plans that have been drafted -- for example, the $33 million widening of Route 159 from Edwardsville to Collinsville -- have been around so long they now are "stale,'' Easterly said.
"We have the plans on the shelf right now. Unfortunately, there's no money in our long-term plan to build this project,'' he said.
But money isn't the only obstacle, officials said. Even when funding becomes available, they estimate the actual 159 expansion construction could take five years to complete.
Work to improve Route 157 also is unfunded, as is the extension of Interstate 255 (to be called Illinois Route 255) north of Illinois Route 143.
IDOT is banking on a federal funding package, which recently won approval in the Senate, to add about $600 million to the state's coffers. But even that's not enough to maintain the state's $1.1 billion road budget, which was higher in the early 90s, Easterly said.
State funding also is a problem; the last increase from the Illinois Legislature was in 1989, Easterly said.
"We can't keep up just by breaking even where we were six or seven years ago.''
One project that is on track -- at least in terms of having secured funding -is construction of the relocated Route 159, which will extend south from Main Street and connect with Troy Road south of Center Grove Road in Glen Carbon.
Tom Siekmann, project engineer, said he anticipates a public hearing in the next few months to introduce the final alignment, which he characterized as the "best for the least amount of environmental impact.''
One proposed alignment would have followed the railroad tracks that run through town, but officials said Tuesday that idea was abandoned because the corridor could someday be used for light rail.
Officials hope the relocated Route 159 will alleviate the heavy congestion along Troy. It is expected to be done by 2000 or 2001, Siekmann said.
Other projects the officials discussed included:
Improving Interstate 270 into Missouri. Easterly estimated all lanes should be open by the end of the year.
Updating I-270 from Route 157 east to where it intersects with Interstates 55 and I-70.
"If you've driven that recently, you can see it's starting to show its age,'' Easterly said.
Repairing Route 143 over I-55. IDOT is planning a $1.1 million improvement.
The so-called "south bypass,'' originally intended to run from I-55 west to Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.
IDOT officials said Tuesday the proposed bypass was "very far on the back burner,'' and a "non-player right now'' that won't help the city's immediate needs.
A new bridge over the Mississippi River into Missouri north of downtown St. Louis, which officials say will cost $500 million.
"That's one of the most critical projects to this area,'' Easterly said.

Whether it's a new track or a music video serving as a public service announcement, everything Diplo touches seems to turn to gold. Heavyweight producers Yellow Claw and LNY TNZ teamed up with Diplo alongside Waka Flocka Flame on "Techno" last month, and now we get the visual interpretation of this tune. This dark video depicts the path drugs take from the source to the end user ultimately dying as a direct result from these drugs. With the amount of drug-related casualties that have been happening at music festivals and shows over the past couple years, this video serves as a P.S.A. to all music fans as the video ends with "Drugs Are Not Worth The Risk" displayed at the end of the video.

TomorrowWorld is the American expansion of the most buzzed festival of the year, TomorrowLand, and we couldn’t be any more excited for it to kick off in less than a week. On top of the Disney World like production and atmosphere, the amazing location in Chattahoochee Hills, GA (right outside of Atlanta) combined with this festival lineup makes TomorrrowWorld one for the books. It’s great how the festival manages to accommodate for the majority of the house world throughout the weekend. Festivalgoers are able to see everything from the progressive main stage end of the spectrum to tech and deep house grooves, as well as some of the finest ambassadors of the bass and trap worlds along with both hardstyle and trance getting some love.

'Simpsons' season has celeb spots, pot
LOS ANGELES — This fall on Fox's "The Simpsons" Homer will be partaking in the weed. That's right, the animated series will be giving the doughnut-obsessed, TV-watching, often-napping father a marijuana habit, according to Cinescape.com.
In addition, "The Simpsons" will also poke fun with parodies of the Harry Potter books and movies "Erin Brockovich" and "2001: A Space Odyssey," according to executive producer Al Jean.
The show's 13th season kicks off Sunday, Nov. 4.
"In one episode, Jane Kaczmarek of 'Malcolm in the Middle' plays a judge who punishes Bart by shackling him to Homer," says Jean. "In another, Homer gets his jaw wired shut and it makes him into a really decent, wonderful human being."
Then "there's a show where Homer gets addicted to medicinal marijuana, and one where Bart creates an Internet cartoon based on Homer, who becomes a laughingstock all over the world."
"We have a show where Marge finds out that the sugar producers are trying to illegally pump sugar into all the Springfield food, and it's like 'Erin Brockovich.' "
Jean said Halloween will feature a special episode in which the Simpsons get a computer to run all of their home appliances.
"The computer develops a crush on Marge and wants to kill Homer. In the same episode, there's a Harry Potter satire timed to the movie," says Jean.
Aside from Kaczmarek, upcoming guests to the show include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Richard Gere, Pierce Brosnan, Dennis Weaver and Jon Lovitz.


Not only does Lady Gaga have a big, hit movie with A Star Is Born as well as a newly-christened #1 album with the film’s soundtrack, she’s also shared the news that she’s engaged!
Addressing the audience at Elle’s 25th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration in Los Angeles Monday, the “Poker Face” singer casually dropped the news by thanking “my fiancé Christian” during her speech.
“Christian” would be CAA talent agent Christian Carino, who’s clients include Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Simon Cowell.
InStyle reports that the couple may have been engaged back in the summer of 2017 but had not made the news public.
“The subject's expression, which is frequently described as enigmatic, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modelling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.”
A post shared by @ christiancarino on
But back in January of 2017, the couple were seen being affectionate at a Kings of Leon concert, and were also spotted on the field of the Super Bowl that February.
Gaga was previously engaged to actor Taylor Kinney (Chicago Fire) after he popped the question on Valentine’s Day 2015, but the couple went their separate ways by July 2016 after five years together.
She may sing about a “Bad Romance,” but with Carino, Gaga appears to feel pretty safe.
“Christian is a good, grounding force and understands her career,” PEOPLE quotes a source close to the couple. “She’s in a great place now.”
“When I went backstage, Christian was by the stairs making sure I was okay,” Gaga told the New York Post’s Page Six back in September of 2017 after her concert at Citi Field. “The best part about being in love with someone is having them there to catch you if you fall.”
Other than in love, though, Gaga doesn’t appear to be “falling” anywhere.
Referencing the enormous success of A Star is Born at the Elle bash Monday, Gaga told the crowd, “Never within my wildest dreams would I think my life would become what it has.”
Mother Monster has fallen in love and it’s a “good romance!”
Congratulations to the happy couple!

We Have UFO Footage!
The Pentagon has confirmed that images leaked to the press in 2019 do show unidentified vehicles flying over U.S. airspace. These Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), harassed at least three U.S. warships during military exercises. The footage of three pyramid shaped UAPs was leaked in July 2019 and showed the unidentified objects hovering above the USS Russell off the San Diego coast.
The video was leaked to documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell. “This is probably the best UFO military filmed footage certainly that I’ve ever seen,” Corbell told FOX News, “but I think also that the world has ever seen.” Former intelligence director John Ratcliffe also has watched the video. He says these UAPs move at speeds that are impossible using the modern technology of Earth. Sometimes, the way these things move can’t even be explained.
the UAPs can be seen traveling from space to earth to sea without being destroyed. After witnessing one UAP plunge into the sea, the Navy sent a submarine to find the wreckage. Nothing was found.
“UFOs are real, and they are here, but we don’t know who they are or the intent,” Corbell said. “That’s no longer a question. You have just not been paying attention.”
2021 Olympic Uniforms Spark Discussion
Ralph Lauren has been the U.S. team’s designer since 2008. For the 2021 games, 600 Team USA athletes have a white uniform with red and blue accents and the U.S. flag displayed on shirts and jackets, along with the symbolic embroidered image of the polo player and pony of the Ralph Lauren brand.
“Every four years, Ralph Lauren does its best to dress up our greatest athletes in the most swagless outfits possible,” one angry journalist tweeted – but the cool factor isn’t what the designer was going for. It was a more socially conscious decision.
Canada went with denim again, with messages that look like graffiti. Their uniforms were designed by Levi Strauss – a U.S. company – and Hudson’s Bay of Ontario. Sports journalist Jenna Harner tweeted, “Ahhh yes, Canada going with the ‘20-something girl at brunch’ lewk for the closing ceremonies this Olympics.”
It just proves once again that you can’t please everybody.
A Symbolic Withdrawal of Troops
The U.S. also spent billions of dollars in aid to help Afghanistan rebuild. The goals were simple: Remove al-Qaida, remove the Taliban, take out all groups of terrorists, and establish civil protections.
Retired Gen. Colin L. Powell agrees with the decision to leave Afghanistan: “I wouldn’t say enough is enough.” Powell was the leader of the State Department during the September 11 attacks and the beginning of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. “I’d say we’ve done all we can do … What are those troops being told they’re there for? It’s time to bring it to an end.”
