No Comments on Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull Unlock Golden Offseason Achievement Amid Drink Adventure

When former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark was drafted to the Indiana Fever with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, there were questions about how Clark would assimilate into her new team.

The extremely strong bonds that Clark had with Iowa teammates Kate Martin, Gabbie Marshall, and others seemed to be a big reason for Iowa’s success. Because of this, some fans wondered if Clark would only reach her potential in professional basketball if she built friendships on the Fever.

Luckily, that’s exactly what the 22-year-old did with Fever teammate Lexie Hull.

Clark and Hull have been spotted at numerous off-court events together and went viral earlier this week after Hull posted a TikTok where she and Clark reviewed drinks they received from a local café called ‘Swig’.

At one point in that video, the owner of Swig could be heard telling Clark and Hull he wanted to give them a “golden mug,” which meant that, “every time you come through Swig, you just get a free refill.”

While the Fever superstars didn’t receive their mugs during that trip, Hull posted a subsequent TikTok on Saturday that showed her and Clark unboxing and showing off their massive golden ‘Swig’ mugs.

“Taste test, we got our golden mugs, tumblers… they’re ginormous,” Hull said in the video before putting the mug up to her head. Then her and Clark discussed which drinks they ordered.

Hull concluded the video by saying, “We’ll be back!” which means that fans may see future Swig escapades…

The Murder of William Martin: Part 1

No Comments on The Murder of William Martin: Part 1

In April of 1832 Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak, the Sauk war chief known to the American settlers as Black Hawk, crossed the Mississippi River into Illinois in order to regain his homeland that he felt was wrongly taken from his people.

A conflict followed these actions that has come to be called the Black Hawk War.

In the early 1800s the Sauk and Meskwaki (commonly referred to as the Fox) often lived in the vicinity of what is now Burlington, Iowa. They called the area Shock-o-con.

In 1820, the Meskwaki Chief Tama (the Man Who Makes the Rocks Tremble) was living near what is now Gladstone, Illinois.

With so many white settlers moving into the vicinity, he decided to move his village across the river to Shock-o-con.

A few years later, Tama moved his village a few miles north to the edge of the prairie near the river.

Tama was not in favor of Black Hawk’s actions and used his great influence to persuade many warriors from joining the Sauk war chief.

His village became a place of rendezvous for many of these young men.

In May of 1832 Chief Tama crossed the river into Illinois to visit his friend, Sumner Phelps, in the village of Yellow Banks, known today by its Indian name – Oquawka.

A historian recorded the events that followed: “Things were in this unsettled state when one night Tama, an aged Fox chief, arrived at the trading house to inquire if his white brother had heard any news from the seat of war.

He was accompanied by his wife and son.

Tama had a town about three miles below the town on the Iowa side.

He had been a great chief and noted scout.

In the war of 1812, he had given valuable assistance to Edwards, then-governor of the Illinois territory, and carried…

BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Vince Carter remembers the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest like it just happened, when he went from an up-and-comer to a full-fledged phenom.

He had been the NBA Rookie of the Year the season before with Toronto and now he was a first-time All-Star. But when he slammed the ball down in Oakland, leaping so high with such force that he put his arm through the rim, he had created perhaps the biggest highlight of a Hall of Fame career that would last another 20 years.

“What the dunk contest did for me, overnight it changed my life,” Carter said Saturday during a press conference at Mohegan Sun Casino to discuss his induction.

Some players have careers like that, where they seem to hit the ground running from the moment they are drafted and never stop — in Carter’s case until he had played an NBA-record 22 seasons.

People are also reading…

And then there are guys like Chauncey Billups.

The No. 3 pick in the 1997 draft was traded by Boston in his first season and had already played for four teams in his first four seasons.

There’s more than one way to reach the Hall of Fame.

Billups eventually found his footing and on Sunday will join Carter as the headline names in the 13-member class that will be enshrined in Springfield, Massachusetts, not far from where his first NBA stop went so poorly that some labeled him a bust.

Billups, now the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, wouldn’t…

Sudani, new UNAMI chief discuss future UN relations

No Comments on Sudani, new UNAMI chief discuss future UN relations

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Iraqi premier received the new head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) Mohamed al-Hassan on Sunday in Baghdad, discussing the UN’s future in the country following the conclusion of the UNAMI mission and regional stability.

“The meeting discussed the nature of the relationship between Iraq and the United Nations, particularly following the issuance of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2732, which ended the mission of UNAMI in Iraq,” read a statement from the office of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani.

The UNAMI mission is set to end on December 31, 2025. Sudani made the request in May through a letter submitted to the UN Secretary-General and Security Council, stressing the bilateral relationship should be “based on bilateral consultation and respect for Iraq’s will and sovereignty.”

After meeting with Hassan, the Iraqi statement “expressed appreciation for the efforts made by UNAMI over the past years and emphasized that Iraq’s relationship with all international institutions and organizations will continue.”

UNAMI has not released a statement on the meeting.

Hassan was appointed as the new UNAMI chief and the Secretary-General’s special representative for Iraq in July, succeeding Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert. He arrived in Baghdad to assume his post and responsibilities on Thursday.

UNAMI was established in August 2003 at the request of Iraq under the Security Council Resolution 1500 to support Baghdad’s developmental efforts. Its mandate was extended annually.

The Iraqi government has cited greater security and stability for ending UNAMI’s mission.

During the meeting with Hassan, the Iraqi side affirmed its commitment to stability and regional security, while condemning “Zionist aggression” in Lebanon on the UN Interim Force In Lebanon.

“[T]his attack demonstrates the Zionist entity’s disregard for international laws and norms, stressing the need for an international response,” read the PM’s statement.

While UNAMI does not directly implement developmental and humanitarian programs, it plays…

No Comments on Hew Locke: what have we here?

For this exhibition at the British Museum, the artist Hew Locke has stepped into the role of curator, drawing together objects from the museum’s collection to probe its associations with Britain’s imperial past (17 October–9 February 2025). The show is the result of a two-year collaboration between the artist and museum and pays particular attention to Britain’s interactions with Africa, India and the Caribbean, including Guyana, where Locke spent his formative years. More than 150 objects are divided into four sections: ‘Sovereigns and Icons of Nationhood’, ‘Trade’, ‘Conflict’ and ‘Treasure’. Most of the items in the exhibition, which include a brightly coloured 19th-century Akawaio feather headdress from Guyana and a 16th-century watercolour of an Algonquian leader by the English artist John White, come from the collection of the museum, though several of Locke’s own creations are also interspersed throughout the show. These include The Watchers (2024), a new series of sculptural figures that appears to spy on visitors as they move through the exhibition.

Is The Last of the Mohicans (1992) Based on a True Story or a Fiction Book?

No Comments on Is The Last of the Mohicans (1992) Based on a True Story or a Fiction Book?

Are you eager to learn if The Last of the Mohicans (1992) is based on a true story or adapted from a work of fiction? This question has sparked discussions among fans. Set against the backdrop of the French and Indian War in 1757, the film captivates audiences with its intense narrative and remarkable performances, especially from Daniel Day-Lewis. Audiences are left wondering whether its storyline is rooted in real events or entirely fictional.

Let’s explore the creative influences that shaped The Last of the Mohicans (1992) and uncover its authentic roots.

Is The Last of the Mohicans (1992) based on a true story or a novel?

No, The Last of the Mohicans (1992) is not based on a true story or a novel. However, it is adapted from the 1826 novel by James Fenimore Cooper. This book is part of Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales series and takes place during the mid-18th century, amidst the French and Indian War.

The story does incorporates historical events, such as the Siege of Fort William Henry. Nevertheless, it is mostly a work of fiction with characters and scenarios created by Cooper for dramatic effect. The 1992 film adaptation, directed by Michael Mann and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, is notable for staying true to the original novel while making significant changes to the characters and storyline.

This film not only draws from Cooper’s literary work but also takes cues from a 1936 cinematic version. While resulting in a more action-packed and romanticized take on the source material.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992) cast features Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Eric Schweig, Russell Means, Jodhi May, Steven Waddington, Wes Studi, Maurice Roëves, Edward Blatchford, Patrice Chéreau, Tracey Ellis, and more.
