Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.
Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.
_____________________________
The 12th and the 13th centuries saw the emergence of the Kakatiyas. They were at first the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana, ruling over a small territory near Warangal. A ruler of this dynasty, Prola II, who ruled from A.D.1110 to 1158, extended his sway to the south and declared his independence. His successor Rudra (A.D.1158--1195) pushed the kingdom to the north up to the Godavari delta. He built a fort at Warangal to serve as a second capital and faced the invasions of the Yadavas of Devagiri. The next ruler Mahadeva extended the kingdom to the coastal area. In A.D.1199, Ganapati succeeded him. He was the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.
As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.
Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.
The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.
Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.

What an unexpected bonus awaited us in Freeport! Because of construction at Cococay, our cruise itinerary was modified and that private island was replaced with Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. I think that people were generally fine, though a few were more vocal in their complaining. The captain during the session with guests and other crew leaders made a good point. We were a longer cruise and a shorter one that only went to Cococay and Nassau could not be well served with changing their itinerary. So we got to go to Freeport Harbour. I knew there was going to be one ship in port with us, but as we approached, I noticed more cruise ships? Normally the sites do not get it that wrong. But they I realized that these were ships in dry dock, something I had never ever seen before. The ships in dry dock are the Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas and Empress of the Seas, the Celebrity Summit and the Carnival Freedom. Also there was the GNV-Rhapsody, a car ferry from Italy. These were being serviced at the Grand Bahama Shipyard. For the record, I would have loved if they did a brief harbor tour so you could get closer. Have to figure I am not the only ship-geek who would enjoy that. I will have to suggest that for the next time I am in Freeport! Taken from onboard the Grandeur of the Seas and on terra firma at Freeport, Grand Bahama Island on Monday February 18th, 2019. These were from our Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas for a 9 Night Southeast Coast & Bahamas Cruise (February 14th through the 23rd, 2019). The itinerary include stops in Charleston (SC), Port Canaveral (FL), Freeport (Grand Bahama Island), Nassau (Bahamas) and Miami (FL) before heading back to Baltimore.
This ramp in front of the Post Office was new last fall. When I arrived to get the mail this morning they were tearing it out again. I took some pictures and talked to one of the workmen. He said that regulations say that you must have a flat section every 20' and since this one was made as a continuous slope it had to be redone.

Built between 1907 and 1914, this Beaux Arts-style Cathedral Basilica was designed by Emmanuel L. Masqueray for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The church replaced the previous Church of the Immaculate Conception, a Gothic Revival-style building located in the Warehouse District, which was condemned and demolished in 1921. The land for the cathedral was donated by wealthy industrialist Lawrence S. Donaldson in 1905, with groundbreaking in 1907, and the cornerstone being laid in 1908. The church was dedicated in 1913, and it opened for services in 1914, while at the time still being known as the Pro-Cathedral and being part of the Immaculate Conception Parish. The church was renamed the Procathedral of Saint Mary in 1921, and the interior decoration was completed in 1925. In 1926, the Cathedral was designated by Pope Pius XI as the first Minor Basilica in the United States, though the building was not formally consecrated until 1941. In 1975, the Basilica was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church features a granite exterior with a darker Rockville granite base and lighter Vermont granite walls, standing 70 feet tall from the base to the roof of the nave. The front of the church features an entrance with a doric portico with arched openings, columns, a cornice with triglyphs and brackets, and decorative trim elements on top of the portico, below a large circular window flanked by two bell towers with arched openings, bracketed cornices, decorative parapets, and additional doorways at the base. The rear of the church features a square dome above a square tower, featuring nine stained glass windows, copper cladding, a lantern at the top, and a large space home to the cathedral’s altar below, with circular windows to the east and west, and an apse to the rear. Beneath the dome inside the church is a sanctuary with an ornate marble altar topped with a 50-foot-tall marble baldacchino, with an ornate ceiling, arched openings to the nave and apse, and decorative pilasters on the east and west walls. The nave features an ornate arched ceiling with intricate trim, large stained glass windows, arched openings to the low aisles on either side, and rows of wooden benches. During the unrest and riots following the killing of George Floyd by members of the Minneapolis Police Department in 2020, an attempt was made to set the cathedral on fire with accelerant being poured on several pews, which resulted in damage to the nave, however, the attempt was unsuccessful. Though the co-Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the church is also presently utilized as a music venue, with several musical ensembles performing within the building. The cathedral functions as an anchor for the northwest corner of the Loring Park section of Minneapolis.
This was replaced either late last year, or early this year. I can't really remember. On the old pole, notice that the 26kv lines are there in the form of the line right above the streetlight.

Members of City Life/Vida Urbana and other housing activists joined in a protest at the Edward Brooke Courthouse. Five people were arrested when they blocked the doors of the courthouse in an act of non violent civil disobedience. Protesters demanded a stop to no fault evictions and also demanded that the current head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency ( FHFA) Ed DeMarco who has resisted community-stability based solutions to the foreclosure crisis, such as principal reduction or long-term rent contracts, be replaced by Obama nominee Congressman Mel Watt. The FHFA is the regulator and conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own over half of mortgages in Massachusetts. These Government Sponsored Enterprises are 79% owned by taxpayers and they are currently among the largest mass evictors within the state, displacing thousands of working-class people and destabilizing communities of color.

Yurgo is in Karoonda East Murray District Council area.
The site of the old Yurgo Soldiers’ Memorial Institute that opened in 1927 lies abandoned in the Murray Mallee, beside the 1954 foundations for a later hall meant to replace the first that was destroyed in a storm.
The second hall was never built.
School was conducted in the memorial institute from 1927 until 1946, when students could attend the Karoonda Area School that opened early in 1941.
Originally, students of the settlement were schooled in a farmhouse outbuilding.
A newspaper report in October 1923 reported that the residents of Yurgo and district were anxious to have a hall of their own. As a means of raising funds, an Ugly Man’s Competition had been started. Other fund raising activities included dances and Sports Days.
Yurgo school first operated a mile north of Yurgo, in a stone outbuilding of a farmhouse. The school had 12 pupils and opened on January 26th 1926. This building was only to be a temporary arrangement until the Yurgo hall was built. It did not meet with Department requirements - it had no ceiling or heating, no table or chair for the teacher.
The District Inspector described the toilets of the school as "but bag structures of primitive type, otherwise crudely effective". The Chairman of the school committee replied to this by saying such arrangements had to be tolerated. Part of his letter included this statement: “As regards to sanitary arrangements, that arrangement is good enough for a temporary affair, as there are people up here living in bag rooms, to say nothing of enjoying the luxury of bags for their WC's. This is as yet a primitive district and our arrangements must be primitive."
The Education Department decided to tolerate the building until the hall was completed. They paid rent from January to September 1926 but declined to after that.
The Yurgo school was transferred to the new hall on June 27th 1927. Yurgo school continued after the opening of Karoonda Area School and did not close until December 1946.
In June 1954 it was reported that a committee had been formed to raise funds to rebuild the Yurgo Memorial Hall which was destroyed by a storm.
The foundations for the new hall were laid adjacent to the old, but the new hall was never completed.
*Hall needed at Yurgo
September 29
The residents of Yurgo and district are anxious to have a hall of their own, and determined efforts are being made to that end. As a means of raising funds, an Ugly Man's Competition has been started, and one of the candidates, Mr D Bicknell, the popular captain of the Nunkeri football team, has arranged for a dance at his residence at Yurgo on Saturday next, from which, it is hoped the fund will substantially benefit. The other candidates, too, are doing their bit, and if enthusiasm and determination. count for anything, the hall at Yurgo should soon be an accomplished fact. Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark (SA) Friday 5 October 1923.
*Yurgo Memorial Hall
Karoonda, October 20
The secretary of the movement (Mr H Kelly), reports that a great interest is being taken in the district in the suggested establishment of a Memorial Hall at Yurgo.
The arrangements for the Sports on Saturday next are well in hand, entries are coming freely, and given fine weather, the sports should be a huge success. Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark SA) Friday 26 October 1923.
*An Institute Opened
Yurgo October 24.—The Yurgo Soldiers' Memorial Institute was opened on Friday [21 October] by the Commissioner of Public Works (Hon M McIntosh). Councillor E L Bruce presided.
Mr Mclntosh congratulated the residents on their enterprise. The building would be a valuable asset to the district, which should make rapid progress, as there was only one block of unalloted land within a radius of about six miles of the township. He had seen crops that day on well-worked fallow land equal to flourishing parts of the mid-north. As the building is occupied by the Education Department he referred at length to questions of education, after which he unlocked the door and declared the building open.
Mr H Kelley, secretary of the institute, proposed a vote of thanks to the Minister. It was seconded by Mr
H Mackenzie, chairman of the school committee.
A sports programme was contested. Tea was served in the building, followed by a concert and dance.
Mrs Peek and Mr Nicoll supplied the dance music, and Mr A Wildman was MC.
The proceeds, which were in aid of the institute funds, were about £30. Ref: Advertiser (Adelaide SA) Wednesday 26 October 1927
*November 15 - A strawberry fete was held last night in the Yurgo Institute to raise funds for the Institute.
The hall was crowded with visitors from surrounding districts and the fete was a marked success.
Mr L Ward was MC. Mrs A M James's orchestra supplied the music for the dances. Items were contributed by Messrs, Wadmore, Tonkin and Pohlner and Mesdames Tonkin and Pohlner. Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark SA)Friday 28 November 1930.
*Residents of the district and visitors from the city assembled in Yurgo hall and tendered a 21st birthday party to Miss Jean Kelley. Mr E Easton acting as MC, congratulated the guest and wished her many happy returns of the day. Items were rendered as follows: songs by Miss R Kelley and Miss H Angrove: recitations by Miss Olsen and Mr E Easton. Games and dancing were indulged in, and music was supplied by the Misses Jarrett and Mr Don Oakley. A very dainty supper was provided. Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark SA) Thursday 27 April 1933.

*Yurgo Social Creditors in Housewarming August 1
The local branch of the Douglas Social Credit Association, held their monthly meeting at the new home of Mr and Mrs O C H Easton, over 40 people attending.
The chairman, Mr G R Tregilgas, said it was the desire of those present before opening the meeting to tender Mr and Mrs Easton a housewarming. He congratulated the hosts in at last being able to provide themselves with a new stone house "Lynton" and hoped they would find much more comfort than they had experienced for the last several years while pioneering their holding. He wished them every success and years of happiness in their new home. Other speakers were Mr H Kelly and Mrs Hopgood. Mr and Mrs Easton responded, and both agreed they had already felt the difference from living as they had done in a shed mid sand and flies. They thanked the speakers for their kindly remarks.
Miss N Jarrett officiated at the piano while the audience sang "For they are Jolly Good Fellows".
"Lynton" is built of a kind of iron sandstone and is admired by all. Stone houses are becoming the order of the day, there being two others in the course of erection in this locality, on Mr M C Rogers and Mr A E Harris's farms.
During the Social Credit meeting a debate was held. The assemblage was then treated to an excellent supper provided by the lady members. The social credit movement is rapidly gaining ground in this district. Ref: Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark SA) Thursday 8 August 1935.
*Yurgo, November 3
The Yurgo sports were held last Wednesday in aid of Institute funds. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the attendance was not as good as usual, and events were carried on between showers.
Tea was held in the Institute and was followed by a concert and dance. Perry's band supplied the music for the dance. Mr M Cram was MC. Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark SA) Thursday 5 November 1936.
*Yurgo April 4
The weather is continuing dry and while some farmers are looking for rain others are not yet in a hurry where fallows are infested with wild turnips (charlock) which made its appearance in this district last year and this year invaded the farms en masse.
Quite a number of farmers are being forced off their holdings. Mr F Stratford's sale was held on Wednesday last and was well attended by buyers during the day and thieves by night—quite a lot of articles that were purchased and left till next day, plus permanent erections, being removed.
A farewell social was tendered Mr and Mrs H Kelly and family on Wednesday night eulogistic speeches being made by the following: Mr H McKenzie (district generally), Mrs Hopgood (Bureau and Tennis), Mr G R Tregilgas (Institute and Wheat-growers Association). Items were rendered by Messrs Slade, MacKenzie, E Easton and Button.
Dancing was enjoyed to music supplied by Mr H Perry, while Mr L Burton was MC and an excellent supper was provided by the ladies.

*First Volunteer Farwelled at Marama
Yurgo, December 11
On Friday night, December 1, by kind permission of the Marama Hall Committee who were holding a strawberry fete, most of the Yurgo people journeyed to Marama to bid farewell to Gunner Kriewaldt prior to his departure for NSW for further military training. Gunner Kriewaldt has the distinction of being the first to enlist from Yurgo. It was expected that he would be home on Saturday night when a farewell social was arranged for him, but owing to a short hurried leave he arrived Friday and had to return on Saturday, hence the arrangements for the farewell at Marama. A generous collection was handed to Mr G R Tregilgas to make the presentation and in doing so he asked the gunner to purchase whatever he desired and wished him God Speed, and a safe and speedy return. Mr M E Rogers spoke on behalf of the Yurgo Football Club and Mr E A Eston, cricket club. Mr P Tilly, chairman of the Marama Hall Committee, spoke and Mr S Hutchinson also. The guest of honour ably responded. Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark SA)Thursday 14 December 1939.
*Yurgo July 8
A tea and dance was held after the Yurgo v Marama football match.
There was a good attendance. It was feared that the dance would have to be abandoned as pianists were not available. However, Mr G R Tregilgas saved the situation by bringing his 47-year-old accordion which, everybody enjoyed. Mr M C Rogers acted as MC.
The enlistments up to date from this small centre are E Kriewaldt, Les Polkinghorne, Bob Gillars, Murray Turner, Lindsay Burton and W Smith, all of the football team.

*Sand Covers Railway Lines At Yurgo
January 10
Sand drift is making the work of railwaymen in the district very arduous and on Sunday many of them worked all day to clear the railway line of sand to enable Monday's train to go through.
On Monday a gang had to travel in front of the train shovelling the sand from the line, but a few minutes later the rails were again covered. Many or the roads are completely blocked, and car breakdowns are a daily occurrence. Ref: Advertiser (Adelaide SA) Thursday 11 January 1945.
*Hall To Be Rebuilt
*Yurgo June 23
A citizens' meeting decided to rebuild the Yurgo Memorial Hall which was destroyed by a storm.
A committee headed by Mr Harold E Seidel was appointed.
Mr Don Curtis offered the use of 100 acres for the planting of barley, the proceeds to go to the hall, and volunteers agreed to work and seed the paddock.
The Nunkeri-Yurgo football club gave £140 and £110 was promised by those present. Seed and superphosphate were also promised.
