<em>“Ever wondered what it would be like to lose all the worldly worries

feel if all notions of time and being just vanished and all you could 
feelis your body swaying to the melodies of life and your mind exploring
 new levels of euphoria? Come, join us as we embark on a quest to leave 
everything behind and explore our true selves. Jump in this wagon of 
celebration and let yourself be led by the very craving of freedom and 
tranquillity. Sit back, close your eyes and follow the Phoenix, for now,
 you are En Route Nirvana.”</em></div>

<em></em>Antaragni, a place to let your creative horses run free, the cultural 
fest of IIT Kanpur is back with its 53rd edition. Transcending all 
barriers of enthusiasm, it gets bigger and bigger every year and this 
year is no exception! From 25th October to 28th October, Antaragni will 
host a plethora of events-blending a series of fine-arts, socio-cultural
 and literary events, along with a variety of workshops, exhibitions and
 informal events.</div>
<div class="td-author-by">
 </div>
<div class="td-author-by" style="text-align: justify;">
Taking
 a deeper look into Antaragni reveals its magnificence moreso. The 
International Carnival at Antaragni has been a host to internationally 
acclaimed talent like Cleva girls, The Flying Eyes, The Bonny Men etc.. 
The major highlights of the festival are the four Professional Nights 
(aka Pro-Nites) – Fusion, Electronic Dance Music, Rock and Bollywood– 
making each night a unique and memorable one. These concerts have 
witnessed globally popular and eminent personalities including KSHMR, 
Mike Candys,Madboy Mink,Sonu Nigam, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Sunidhi Chauhan,
 Vishal-Shekhar and bands like The Indian Ocean.<br />
<br />

IIT Kanpur gets completely transformed during the four days of 
Antaragni. A few truly entertaining events that come to mind are- Mr and
 Miss Antaragni (Personality Pageant), India haat, Director’s Cut, Kavi 
Sammelan, Calypso etc. Students from various colleges also compete 
against each other in the fields of Dance, Dramatics, Musicals, Fine 
Arts, Films and photography as well as English and Hindi literary 
events. Hindi literary 
events will be judged by established Hindi Writer Nasera Sharma, 
Leeladhar Jagoodi, Ravindra Prabhat, Pankaj Chaturvedi & Abhishek 
Shukla. This is also the time when glamour is at its peak on campus with
 a large number of Bollywood celebrities making their presence felt at 
India’s biggest inter-college fashion show- Ritambhara! The biggest, 
meanest and coolest rock fiesta in the country, Synchronicity! Informal 
events like blind dates, ballroom dance etc are also organised to keep 
the atmosphere interesting.<br />
<br />
A huge shout out to our Delhi crowd for we have something really 
interesting coming up for you guys. Antaragni announces it DJ War 
preliminaries and the national preliminaries in the form of Roadtrip. 
Let’sexplore the uncapped talent as the DJ War (Delhi edition) prelims 
of Antaragni will take place at Et Al : The Lounge Bar on 29th September
 from 8pm to 11pm. Come and be a part of this enchanting musical gala 
featuring one of the most talented DJs in Delhi. Also do not make the 
mistake of missing out on the National Prelims for various events 
ranging from dance to literary events in Hindu College,Delhi on the 30th

'Every schoolboy's fantasy' up for auction

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="'Every schoolboy's fantasy' up for auction" src="http://english.manoramaonline.com/content/dam/mm/en/lifestyle/fashion/images/sept-15/star-wars-auction.jpg.image.784.410.jpg" />While most Star Wars fans are clamoring to get their hands on the newest franchise droid BB-8, deep-pocketed collectors will have a chance to buy original movie memorabilia such as Princess Leia's iconic slave costume in an upcoming auction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More than 50 lots of Star Wars props and items owned by those involved with the production of the films will be offered up for sale on Oct. 1 at Profiles in History, the auction house said Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A gold metallic bikini worn by actress Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia enslaved by Jabba the Hutt in 1983's "Return of the Jedi," is estimated to fetch between $80,000 to $120,000 but could sell for far more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It's every schoolboy's fantasy but it's also a very signature, iconic piece," said Brian Chanes, consignment manager at Profiles in History.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
George Lucas' intergalactic Star Wars franchise first premiered in 1977 with Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, and quickly became embedded into American pop culture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Star Wars sale, which also features cameras used to shoot the movies, scripts, posters and prototype Darth Vader helmets, is likely to whet the appetites of avid fans ahead of the December release of "The Force Awakens," the seventh film installment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Toys from the new film were released early this month and have already become hot collector's items.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It's exceedingly difficult to find anything of this nature from the original trilogy," Chanes said. "These are actually from production, that's what created history and mythology of Star Wars and that's why it's so important."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another expected top seller is a miniature blockade runner spaceship from 1977's "A New Hope," the ship carrying Princess Leia and droids C-3PO and R2-D2.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"People love filming miniatures because it illustrates the magic behind the films," Chanes said. "It's something that's instantly recognizable and it happens to be the very first spaceship you see in the first 'Star Wars' movie."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The intricate 16-inch model comes from the collection of late visual effects Oscar-winner Grant McCune, and is expected to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Rebel Fleet Trooper helmet from the first film, the only one to ever be sold at a public auction, is estimated to bring upwards of $150,000.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Star Wars items will be part of Profiles in History's Hollywood props auction from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, featuring more than 1,900 lots from films such as Back to the Future and Indiana Jones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Myths about Floor Tiles

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>T</b></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">here are a few things that we all think are experts in and that there is probably no nobody who knows these facts better than we do. But I’m kind of here to break the ice and tell you that all that is popular, might not always be true. Talking specifically about floor tiles and how we think an expert’s help is going to do no good. Well, you might just be wrong. As you read this article I will try to debunk some of the most famous misconceptions about floor tiling and everything that might be hiding in the ‘always correct’ folder inside our brains.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, everything that is costlier is better. This mantra is not always correct. We most often think that the more money we spend on a product, the better it will be, but as far as tiles are concerned, many ceramic tiles are less pricy and might be better suited for your needs. There are just so many options that we have concerning floor tiles that it is very easy to get confused. Do your research and know what suits your home best.<span id="more-16812" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Floor Tiles" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-16815" height="198" src="https://www.somanyceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Floor-Tiles1-300x198.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; float: right; height: auto; margin: 4px 1px 10px 20px !important; padding: 0px;" width="300" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
More often people are under the misconception that the natural tiles made of limestone, mica and graphite are the best option under all circumstances which is in fact wrong. Naturals have their advantages and disadvantages as well and the requirements are actually determined depending upon the space use and size and many other parameters can also be considered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
People often also believe that shinier tiles are better as they get cleaned easily. But this is also not quite correct. All tiles have almost the same technique of getting cleaned and there is almost no difference as far as cleaning is concerned.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Debunk all the old ideas you have and do read a lot and research and find out what you want. Categorise your choices and then shortlist them according to situations and you are sure to make a correct decision.</div>

All you need to know about lord ganesha

<img align="left" src="http://www.ganpatimandal.com/images/about-ganesh.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 14px; height: auto; line-height: 22px; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 60px; padding-right: 20px; vertical-align: middle;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; line-height: 22px;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>O</b></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">ne of the reasons that lord Ganesha is revered and worshiped everywhere in India and abroad is that the God is associated with the removal of all obstacles in life as well as giving success and prosperity. This belief and reverence is not something which can be seen in India only but also in many other parts of the world where Lord Ganesha is worshiped in various forms. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Here are many parts of India in which there is a very strong belief that lord Ganesha is not a bramhachari but a married man. His wives are supposed Siddhi (success or spiritual power), Buddhi (intellect) and Riddhi (prosperity). Hence, it is believed that if people worship lord Ganesha, these three qualities of spiritual power, intellect and prosperity automatically follows you and become a part of your life since being wives, they cannot stay separated from the Lord. There are many parts of India wherein the belief of the lord marrying Riddhi and Siddhi is very strong and in someway, they too areworshiped. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">According to another set of beliefs, lord Ganesha is also associated with the goddess of culture and arts called ShardaMata or Saraswati Mata. This is a belief particularly in Maharashtra. He is also believed to have a consort in Lakshmi. Goddess Saraswati gives intelligence and Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth. Combining these two, there is always success and prosperity in whatever people do as long as they are worshiping the lord in the correct form and with complete devotion. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">It is fervently believed that before every work no matter how small it is or how inconsequential the results may be, it is imperative to worship lord Ganesha in order to bestow upon us good luck, intelligence to deal with the situations and a spiritual bent of mind.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "segoe ui"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">

According to an India Today Group-Hansa Research Mood of the Nation opinion poll, the first after Modi took office, 57 per cent believe he is best suited to be prime minister, 48 per cent think he has made ministers irrelevant, and 47 per cent are sure he will be able to resist the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) agenda.</span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">If Indians had to go to polls again, 48 per cent say they would vote for the BJP again which, though overwhelming, is less than Modi's personal popularity. </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">If a general election were to be held today, the BJP would get 314 seats in the Lok Sabha, an astonishing 32 more than it won on May 16. </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">Modi's personal popularity could be attributed to the fact that the largest bloc of respondents - 46 per cent - said he represents development; 70 per cent interpret his win as a mandate for development. </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">As far as Modi's Cabinet is concerned, as many as 78 per cent of respondents think it is a good Cabinet. On the topic of Modi and the RSS, the ideological mentor of the ruling BJP, there do remain many who think he is under RSS influence and hence will try to strike a balance. </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">Though many believe Modi is somewhat under the RSS influence, his victory is certainly not a boost to Hindu fundamentalism, three-fifths of respondents said. </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">When it comes to prevalent issues, respondents wanted Modi to address poverty (23 per cent), corruption (22 per cent) and price rise (18 per cent). </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">Women also wanted the Prime Minister to stop crime against the fairer sex (13 per cent). </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">Asked if people felt safe under the Modi government, 76 per cent of respondents said they feel safe. This was a feeling shared even by Muslims (68 per cent). </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">Responding to a question on who would benefit the most from Modi's premiership, 27 per cent believed it would be the poor. But 52 per cent believed that the performance of public services had remained the same. </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">On the educational front, a majority (69 per cent) believed that text books need revision, while 51 per cent called for sex education in schools. </span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">With regard to the question on which party the people would vote for if polls were held tomorrow, a vote contrast was witnessed in the Muslim community, with 29 per cent saying they would back the BJP and 24 per cent the Congress.</span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">Twenty-nine per cent of respondents said Rahul Gandhi is still the best prime ministerial candidate for the Congress, though not an undisputed choice. Twenty per cent though Sonia Gandhi was the best candidate. Sixty per cent also thought Rahul's style of leadership needs re-orientation.</span><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><br style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;" /><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px;">Cross-border terrorism was identified as the biggest threat to India's internal security by 54 per cent of respondents while Pakistan was named as the country constituting the biggest threat to India.</span></abbr></cite>

</b></span> <span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"><b>M</b></span><span style="text-align: justify;">ountain Echoes is an annual literary festival held in Thimpu, the capital of the happiest of nations -- Bhutan. A celebration of Himalayan culture that began in 2010, this intimate literary festival explores a cross-cultural dialogue between India and Bhutan. So imagine long literary discussions, book launches, film screenings, music concerts, workshops and schmoozing with the South Asian literati.</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.vogue.in/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleriffic_slide/article/slideshow/21931/18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mountain Echoes is a mix of traditional and avant garde Bhutanese life.
" border="0" height="213" src="http://www.vogue.in/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleriffic_slide/article/slideshow/21931/18.jpg" width="320" /></a>This year, the fest will be held from May 21-24 at three venues in Thimphu: The Taj Tashi Hotel, the Tarayana Centre and the Nehru-Wangchuk Cultural Centre. If you're a jaded culture vulture that needs more persuading, here's five reasons to talk books in this breathtaking Himalayan kingdom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It's in the happiest country in the world</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Move over Pharrell, 'cause we're feeling a new happy! Wedged between India and China, the Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan is famous for its gorgeous Himalayan landscape, distinct culture and Gross Happiness Index. It's the only country that goes beyond economic indices and factors happiness into the quality of life by markers that take into account sustainable development, environmental protection, cultural preservation, and good governance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Picture discussing literature in a land where traffic jams make it to the headlines, plastic bags are banned, and smoking and the sale of cigarettes prohibited. (Although international visitors may carry upto 200 cigarettes for their personal use but have to pay a 200% duty and carry a smoking permit at all times.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.vogue.in/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleriffic_slide/article/slideshow/21931/4%20Facebook%20Mountain%20Echoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Past fests have been attended by filmmaker Aparna Sen and actor Rahul Bose.
" border="0" height="213" src="http://www.vogue.in/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleriffic_slide/article/slideshow/21931/4%20Facebook%20Mountain%20Echoes.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Queen Mother takes part</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, a tonne of literary and cultural fests boast royal patronage, including this one, but her Majesty the Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck is also an accomplished author. Her first book, Of Rainbows and Clouds is a riveting family saga capturing the life and times of her father Yab Ugen Dorji. Her second, Treasures of The Thunder Dragon: A Portrait of Bhutan is a mix of memoir, history and folklore. Her participation extends way beyond the officious inaugural ceremony and she will be found in conversation with diplomat and author Navtej Sarna.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The dialogue between two very different democracies</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From discussions on animism in the Himalayas and the art of folklore, to a deliberation on aphrodisiacs and food to suit your mood, and workshops on how to write a crime novel, the festival calendar is packed with a miscellany of subjects and speakers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.vogue.in/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleriffic_slide/article/slideshow/21931/20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mountain Echoes is a great way to explore Bhutanese culture and subcultures.
" border="0" height="212" src="http://www.vogue.in/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleriffic_slide/article/slideshow/21931/20.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the most anticipated discussion of the festival is a session titled 'Democracy: The Will of the People', between Lily Wangchuk, the first woman president of a registered political party in Bhutan, and author-diplomat Pavan K Varma. Dago Tshering, the former Bhutanese ambassador to India will also interact with journalist Mihir Sharma. The democratic systems of India and Bhutan, both emerging from landmark elections, will be juxtaposed in light of the outcomes of the change in government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It's not just about Bhutanese authors</b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from the massive Indo-Bhutanese contingent of writers, commentators and speakers, Mountain Echoes brings together a host of artists who are all part of the new Himalayan narrative. Sample these other attendees: Award-winning Scottish travel writer Gavin Francis, who is working on a book on the region; Danish photo-journalist Marie Venø Thesbjerg, who will be showcasing her most recent book My Way Of Life -- Stories by Children of Bhutan, which tells the story of Bhutanese culture in transition; and Yoko Ishigami, a Japanese artist who has been learning traditional Bhutanese painting and will be exhibiting at the festival.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Experience Bhutanese subculture</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.vogue.in/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleriffic_slide/article/slideshow/21931/3%20Facebook%20Mountain%20Echoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="2013's fest saw Barkha Dutt interviewed by Bhutanese journalist Namgay Zam.

While things are usually done the traditional way, which is the window most visitors get into Bhutanese life, the festival exposes fissures of the new wave. Films like Tashi Gyeltshen's The Red Door or Kesang Chuki Dorjee's documentary Bhutan Women Forward will introduce audiences to Bhutan's bold voices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Open mic and jam sessions with Bhutanese bands like Zhaw and The Ngorigaps, The Baby Boomers, Poisoned Apple and Daydream Farmers will reveal how the sounds of rock 'n' roll give voice to another side of Bhutanese culture.</div>

Deutsche Welle has broadcast regularly since 1953. Until 2003 it was based in Cologne; then it relocated to a new building, the "Schürmann-Bau", in Bonn's former government office area. The television broadcasts are produced in Berlin. Deutsche Welle's website is produced in both Berlin and Bonn. On 6 February 2012 Deutsche Welle underwent a significant rebranding.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">Deutsche Welle was inaugurated on 3 May 1953 with an address by the West German President, Theodor Heuss, as its first shortwave broadcast. On 11 June 1953 the public broadcasters in the ARD signed an agreement to share responsibility for Deutsche Welle. At first it was controlled by Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR). In 1955, when this split into the separate Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) networks, WDR assumed responsibility for Deutsche Welle programming. In 1960 Deutsche Welle became an independent public body after a court ruled that broadcasting from Germany was part of the federal government's foreign-affairs function. On 7 June 1962 it joined the ARD as a national broadcasting station.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Your turn has come. Now that the candidates have been decided, it’s up to you to give them a look over and vote for the ones you think are best. Remember, you can vote once per category per 24 hours. The blogs that get the most votes will win The Bobs Users’ Choice prize and knowing that people across the Internet love them. Polls open today and will close on May 7 when all the winners are announced at re:publica in Berlin.
