The Shinnecock Nation announced Wednesday that it will begin work this summer on a 76,000-square-foot casino located on its 800-acre territory just west of Southampton Village.
The casino, envisioned as potentially the first of many such facilities across the state, would be outfitted with 1,000 video lottery terminals and 30 tables limited to Texas Hold ’Em poker games.
It was overwhelmingly approved by a tribal vote in December, according to Shinnecock Tribal Council Chairman Bryan Polite, and has already been approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission, allowing it move forward pending an environmental review by that commission. Local zoning rules would not be in play on tribal territory.

3-ton parts of Stonehenge may have been carried from earlier monuments
Years of archaeological research now suggest that Neolithic Britons lugged massive elements of the iconic monument from far-flung reaches of the island.

It’s not difficult to see why Stonehenge is one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world. The 4,600-year-old stone circle on southern England’s Salisbury Plain was built by people who left no clear hints to its purpose or obvious clues to their own identity mysteries that have long gripped archaeologists, modern-day druids, science fiction writers, and tourists.
Now, a new study published in the journal
Beer from Ancient Egypt to modern Germany
Remains of a 5,000-year-old brewery have been uncovered in Egypt. So, how did beer make its way from the land of the Pharaohs to Germany?
Remains of vats used for beer fermentation were uncovered
Archaeologists from the USA and Egypt have unearthed an ancient brewery on the banks of the Nile. Cairo s tourism ministry says the site, which dates back 5,000 years, would once have been capable of producing 22,400 liters of beer per batch.
In antiquity, the fermented barley juice served as a drink for almost the entire population and was regarded as a staple food. The beer was made from a mixture of water and barley that was heated and then fermented. That mixture was partly seasoned with fruit juice concentrates, filtered and served as a thick, sweet drink.
MP for Devizes Danny Kruger HAPPY Valentine’s Day. Lovers kept apart by the lockdown can see that the end is in sight, though sadly for them the Government appears to want to reunite children before adults. I strongly support the suggestion that schools should reopen first and very much hope we get good news on this soon. I felt honoured to speak in Parliament last week in support of the quinquennial Armed Forces Bill, the traditional legislation by which the legal basis of the Army is periodically renewed. The 17th century looked askance at standing armies and it was a sign of England’s advanced and liberal politics that in 1688 we legislated that the Army exists only at the pleasure of Parliament.
