Tales from the Fort
2008-06-05 04:43:00 Tis the season, to be Fortean. If the release of Jim Steinmeyer's biography of Charles Fort and Tarcher's reissue of Fort's books in anthology form weren't enough for you, check out this new website - Tales from the Fort: The Charles Fort Files... This site is an effort to organize the research of Charles Hoy Fort into a more easily utilized resource by gathering and placing under various subject headings the vast amount of information scattered throughout Fort's books. The information contained within these pages is gleaned from extensive study of the four non-fiction books published by Charles Fort in his lifetime. The headings under which the phenomena are placed include 'Falls' (strange things falling from the skies), 'OOPARTS' (Out of Place Artifacts), Creatures, UFOs and Apparitions. If you don't have the time to work your way through the books, this website will probably be a good resource. As Emps says over at Cabinet of Wonders, "dig into ancient astronauts, Ufol...
Who Owns The Fort
2008-05-02 11:20:00 The historic Derawar Fort, enormous and impressive structure in the heart of Cholistan desert, is rapidly crumbling and if the immediate preventative measures are not taken, the edifice will be destroyed and the historians, researchers and sightseers deprived of the view of the legacy of the bygone era. Like so many other historic sites in the country, Derawar Fort is yet another sign of old times we are poised to loose forever due to the apathy of those who are responsible for its upkeep and preservation.Before it disappears, once again, I was on my way to Cholistan: the place that is crucible of one of the world's oldest civilization, where some of the past secrets are hidden, where history is still active.Derawar is the oldest fort and the only perennial water-hole in the area. But a visit to the Fort is painful for those locals or foreigners who value the heritage and other signs of past eras. They are disappointed with its fate and neglect of its wonders. Neither is it being m...

New NEFA Foundation "Target America" Report: "The Fort Dix Plot"
2008-01-28 19:58:00 The NEFA Foundation has released the thirteenth installment in its "Target: America" series , examining the foiled 2007 plot to attack the U.S. Army base at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Initiated by a "homegrown" cell that was, in the words of one plotter, eager to "hit a heavy concentration of soldiers...", the plan was disrupted in May 2007 as two conspirators attempted to purchase four fully-automatic M-16 machine guns and three semi-automatic AK-47 assault rifles. In addition to attempting to purchase...(read more)

Mastering Global Economy: The FORTUNE global forum 2007
2007-10-29 19:54:00 We now live in a world that is more connected than at point in the history of mankind, and we’re becoming even MORE connected as time progresses. The world is getting smaller and the boundaries are diminishing. We now live in a global market place. Commerce is now NOT limited to only a territory or geography. This is exactly the message you get when you read Thomas Friedman’s New York Times bestseller The world is flat book. I read this book last year and by the end of it, I was completely in awe with the knowledge and insight of author on globalization trends. If you have not read it already, I suggest you pick up a copy today. As I write this, New Delhi is hosting one of the world’s premier summits for chief executives, The FORTUNE Global Forum 2007, that will bring together more than 300 global high profile delegates including Thomas Friedman. He will be talking about India’s role in the outsourcing revolution that has helped reshape the global econom...

2007-10-19 09:10:00 Ali Babacan,Turkish Foreign minister,A formidable Politician in the making.When I read the must read Bloomberg article Jews Become Targets of Turkey's Anger at U.S. Vote on Armenia ; I am amazed at the baldfaced aggression and insidious threats made to the Turkish Jewish population. For some one who is so keen to advocate that Turkey was not involved in an Armenian Genocide, Ali Babacan does himself no favors.Not foregoing Ali Babacan's raw intellectual power, its sad to see such a promising Politician showing signs of playing the scapegoat. His new developing focus on a populist methodology, which he has managed to previously avoid in his rise to power, is now showing some rather disturbing signs.Is he setting up Turkish Jews to be the scapegoat in the developing controversy over Armenian claims of genocide?First allow me to preface this discussion with somethings this post does not discuss.This isn't a post that advocates either for or against to the existence of the claimed...

To take three thousand pounds from the fortune of their dear little boy wou
2007-09-23 14:32:00 Mrs. John Dashwood did not at all approve of what her husband intended to do for his sisters. To take three thousand pounds from the fortune of their dear little boy would be impoverishing him to the most dreadful degree. She begged him to think again on the subject. How could he answer it to himself to rob his child, and his only child too, of so large a sum? And what possible claim could the Miss Dashwoods, who were related to him only by half blood, which she considered as no relationship at all, have on his generosity to so large an amount. It was very well known that no affection was ever supposed to exist between the children of any man by different marriages; and why was he to ruin himself, and their poor little Harry, by giving away all his money to his half sisters?

The forthcoming Harry Potter
2007-07-02 03:56:00 J.K. Rowling fans are dreaming about the 784pgs of her 7th and final Harry Potter series book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows) due to be released in July 2007. Imagine 12 million copies for the first printing! Consider the logistics. Rumors are circulating about characters who will die and what events we may have to look forward to or not. Unanswered questions remain, including whether future books in a new series may evolve to develop ends not tied up in this book. Ask yourself about some of your own unanswered questions in Harry Potter: 1) Is Dumbledore really dead? 2) Who else will die? 3) Which side is Snape on anyway? (Is he really evil?) 4) Will Ron and Hermione's relationship endure? 5) Must Harry and Voldemort have an ultimate confrontation? For the magic moments to happen, as the theory goes, the reader's mind must be preserved in a state of absolute innocence. We're not supposed to know what's around the corner. We can anticipate, and our excitement builds. The e...

The Fort Dix Six
2007-05-09 05:36:00 A very disturbing case of six Muslims who were arrested for plotting a terrorist attack against the army base near Wrightstown, New Jersey:FORT DIX, N.J. (AP) - Six foreign-born Muslims were arrested and accused Tuesday of plotting to attack Fort Dix and slaughter scores of U.S. soldiers - a scheme the FBI says was foiled when the men asked a store clerk to copy a video of them firing assault weapons and screaming about jihad.The defendants, all men in their 20s from the former Yugoslavia and the Middle East, include a pizza deliveryman suspected of using his job to scout out the military base.Their goal was "to kill as many American soldiers as possible" with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and guns, prosecutors said."Today we dodged a bullet. In fact, when you look at the type of weapons that this group was trying to purchase, we may have dodged a lot of bullets," said FBI agent J.P.

Business Plan 2.0: Eliminating the Fortune Telling
2007-05-07 18:21:00 The business plan is sorely in need of reinvention. Much like fortune telling, it continues to be an elaborate, ritualistic and time-honored exercise in pre-cognition. The whole thing is about as reliable as a stock tip overheard at a racetrack. It’s such a meaningless exercise in terms of the depth bankers and investors want from these plans. There’s no crystal ball to assure the future, but they want you to make it look that way. Not to say that there is no value to a business plan, because that would be overstating the case. A business plan is a good exercise in strategic planning that is useful in bringing considerations to the forefront, which might otherwise become nasty future surprises. However, it’s definitely high time that we had second-generation business plans, business plan 2.0 if you will. Above all, the most important thing is (more…)

Quick Notes From The Fort
2007-03-09 21:58:02 The Red Sox made a few roster cuts on Friday sending pitchers Edgar Martinez, David Pauley, and infielders Luis Jimenez, Chad Spann, and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury back to minor league camp. The first full workout for Sox minor leaguers is on Sunday. Mike Timlin has been scratched from his appearance on Saturday against the Tigers because there are concerns about his strained oblique muscle. It had been rumored that the Sox were going to make him the closer if no one emerged. This is not good news for us Sox fans because Timlin is being counted to fill a big role in the bullpen this season no matter if he is the closer or not. He does have the most experience as a closer out of the candidates. I would have to think that Theo Epstein is burning up the phone lines now to try and find a closer. I really hope that they reconsider putting Jonathan Papelbon in the rotation and put him back in the bullpen where he is really needed. Share This
