For the first time ever at BIG BERRY Kolpa river we hosted three interesting Masterminds at once at the Mastermind Jam event on the evening of June 16th 2018. Tomaž Aupič, Sebastjan Štarkel and Mateja Vrščaj from Starkmat s.p. came to talk to us about their work and their successful Active Chair project. What made this Mastermind event especially interesting was how our speakers linked their speeches with the FEEL, JOIN and CREATE concept.
"People are made to be in these three pillars, not only companies or products, but personally as well"
Starkmat is a company based in Črnomelj that offers marketing and design solutions to different companies and develops innovative products. Their main project is Active Chair, a chair that allows you to move in a natural way while sitting. This innovative product is already known in Slovenia and is starting to spread internationally. The team behind the project consists of three hard-working people: Tomaž is an industrial designer and designer of visual communications, Sebastjan is managing sales, finances and stocks and Mateja is managing the customer support, social media and public relations. They all agree with us that one of the most important things in a company is to have a good core team – the FEEL pillar.
"We often say that our vision with Active chair is for it to be a synonym for healthier sitting"
The first launch in 2016 was the Active Chair Kids that has an adorable look of a mushroom. Many health benefits of the Active Chair show us why it is important what type of chair our children are growing up on: the chair strengthens the core muscles and improves balance and coordination. From the very beginning, Tomaž, Sebastjan and Mateja knew that their product is beneficial for health, but people didn't yet know they needed it. That is when they started to build the brand with the help of their social network and reviews from experts – a connection with the CREATE pillar.
The Active Chair project started only two years ago and had a great start: While combining the three pillars of FEEL, JOIN and CREATE, the team managed to put out a great, useful and saleable product that became a success in a very short time. The team knew what they were doing from the very beginning: they started to build solid foundations, took the idea to possible customers and connected with local producers to find partners for the project. It was very helpful to get feedback and establish genuine bonds – that is what makes the JOIN pillar so important.
"I can see and feel when we are present here at BIG BERRY that you have this mindset incorporated in to your culture"
The Mastermind Jam event was a combination of inspirational speech, great conversation and as always at BIG BERRY, delicious food and drinks. We had the pleasure to welcome the women from Gigcoworking to listen to the speeches and to contribute to the event with their great comments on the topic. Between the speeches, we enjoyed some coffee and delicious cookies from our BIG BERRY partner Domačija Šrajf. As the evening got darker and the presentations were finished, we all gathered to share our thoughts and to enjoy the products from our other three partners: Pivovarna Vizir, Eko Kmetija Totter and Kmetija Šuklje. In the end, the event was a great opportunity to learn about the FEEL, JOIN and CREATE concept and how it can be implemented in every company.
Mastermind Jam was supported by the SPIRIT agency and Ministry of economic development and technology.
Our seventh BIG BERRY Mastermind of 2018 will be Roman Šuštaršič, a motivational speaker, hypnotist and trainer for personal growth. We are very excited to welcome Roman on 30th of June to talk about thoughts, beliefs and the strong forces in the human body.

Palomino Camping Trailer construction began in 1968 with the dream of Mr. Vern Landey. Mr. Landey had been a tent trailer distributor for several years when he felt he could design and produce better quality units than were currently being offered to the public. He would design units which were lightweight and offered convenient floorplans at affordable prices. He began designing and producing Palomino pop-up tent trailers in a small building in Savage, Minnesota.
As demand for the Palomino grew, Mr. Landey felt it would benefit his company, Vanguard Ind., to relocate. With most manufacturers and industry suppliers located in the Elkhart, In. area the move eastward seemed logical. Vanguard Industries settled in the community of Colon in 1972. Once in Colon he began to put his plans in motion. By 1973 he had built the main production facility and within days Palomino tent trailers were rolling out the doors.
In 1976, Vanguard added its own Needle Division, in 1978 its own Metal Fabrication Plant, and has several cold storage facilities. On May 27, 1992, the primary production building and offices were destroyed by fire. By late August, 1992, the first 1993 model Palomino rolled of the line in the new 52,300 sq. ft. facility, which was built on the same site as the previous building had been.
The year 1998 continued to see expansion with the addition of a new 75,000 sq. ft. production facility, and another storage facility. In 2002 Vanguard was purchased by Forest River, Inc. This allowed for rapid growth and the introduction of two new towable lines of travel trailers and fifth wheels, Puma and Sabre by Palomino.
In 2005, Forest River, Inc. and it's divisions were acquired by Berkshire Hathaway. Palomino RV operates as a separate division of Forest River Inc., and has grown from humble beginnings in Minnesota to one of the top 5 RV manufacturing facilities in North America.

Tom Cruise: The Paranoid Performer DONE
January 22, 2019 January 4, 2020
Tom Cruise in Minority Report -- 20th Century Fox
There comes a moment in the recent critical and box-office success Mission: Impossible – Fallout when spy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is seemingly accused by his superior of being an international terrorist. He glances around the room, nervously, wondering which of his team framed him. Though the accusation and Hunt's actions are revealed to be a clever ruse (as so many scenes in the Mission: Impossible franchise are), Cruise sells the moment brilliantly.
Even though most of his recent roles have been leading men of action movies, it still holds that Tom Cruise is one of the very best paranoid actors. With small gestures and shifts in expression, Cruise shows his characters' intense distrust and alertness, and in turn, fills us with tension – anxiously awaiting what will happen next. Perhaps more impressively, Cruise shifts his portrayal of paranoia with different roles; whereas one character could easily show his intense fear, another could be more subdued and controlled in his anxiety.
For this article, I chose three Tom Cruise films by three different directors: Steven Spielberg's Minority Report, Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible, and Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Each film operates within different genres, and each character that Cruise plays reckons with a growing sense of paranoia – sometimes delusional, sometimes not.
"Everybody runs." – Minority Report (2002)
Minority Report – a blend of science-fiction and action – imagines Washington, D.C. in the year 2054, bringing futuristic surveillance and media technology together with a rugged, gritty style reminiscent of American film noir from the 1940s. Cruise plays Captain John Anderton of PreCrime, a police division that uses three mutated humans – nicknamed "Precogs" – to retrieve visions of future murders and then stop them from happening. A new prediction of Anderton himself committing a premeditated murder forces him to go on the run, figure out who he's supposed to kill, and why.
Though the film's central idea revolves around the 'free will vs. determinism' debate (do we make our own future, or is it set in stone?), Minority Report also toys with the ever-growing fear of electronic surveillance and monitoring. When Anderton enters the subway shortly after running away, personalized ads call out his name in a cacophony of voices, and he reluctantly gets his eyes scanned before boarding the train. Cruise's face is passive for most of this sequence, though we see his anxiety in his fast-paced walking – in his stiff posture and rigid arms, in the way his eyes move back and forth every time a different advertisement calls out his name. On the train, he puts his head down for a moment and then sits up, more stoic than ever. As the head of PreCrime, Anderton knows better than anyone how suddenly police officers can appear and the consequences of being arrested; Cruise performs accordingly, appearing calm and unemotional on the surface, but brimming with tension underneath like a coiled spring.
"They knew we were coming, man." – Mission: Impossible (1996)
Brian De Palma's films commonly feature characters caught in obsession and paranoia, and IMF agent Ethan Hunt is no exception. Mission: Impossible was an early gateway towards Cruise becoming the action star he is today, but the film still contains one of his best paranoid performances. After a covert mission ends with every member of his team dead, Hunt learns that the operation was a mole hunt and, as the sole surviving agent, is the prime suspect. Back at the now-abandoned safe house, he dreams of the newly-deceased team leader Jim Phelps (Jon Voight) walking into the room, with blood dripping from a gunshot wound. Hunt wakes up from the nightmare, only to discover another team member, Claire (Emmanuelle Béart), is in the room.
Whereas the character of John Anderton required Cruise to be more subdued in conveying his paranoia, this particular scene as Hunt allows him to openly show his intense anxiety and fear. During the dream of Phelps, Hunt stays motionless; only his eyes and his expression show us all the terror and guilt he feels at letting his superior die. However, when he is abruptly brought back to reality by Claire, Hunt leaps out of his seat and rapidly pulls out his gun. As Claire tries to explain how she survived, his whole body twitches as if he's just been electrically shocked. Hunt acts cool and relaxed for most of the film, but in this brief moment his guard is down; through Cruise's intense delivery, we discover how isolated and terrified he really is.
"No dream is ever just a dream." – Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
In Minority Report and Mission: Impossible, both Anderton and Hunt's feelings of paranoia are shown to be founded in reality. Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, on the other hand, questions whether what we're seeing is real or merely the delusions of Cruise's character. Dr. Bill Harford (Cruise) and his wife Alice (Nicole Kidman) live in Upper Manhattan in a seemingly happy marriage. After Alice reveals that she had a sexual fantasy involving a naval officer she met the previous year, an angry and lost Harford wanders through New York City at nighttime. The turning point of Eyes Wide Shut occurs at the midpoint when Harford infiltrates a masked secret society's orgy and is quickly caught and expelled. His paranoia only grows when he suspects that the secret society has murdered a young woman, and has people following him.
Right away, Harford presents himself as fully in control: during a Christmas party at the start of the film, Cruise wears a cocky grin, speaks loudly, and walks with brimming confidence. It's only when Harford learns of Alice's secret fantasy that his facade begins to fall apart. Several scenes show him sitting in a car, seething with bitter rage as he imagines his wife making love to another man. Even without showing the images running through Harford's mind, we can tell from Cruise's hardened, tense expression and his unfocused eyes that he is out of reality. Indeed, with each ensuing scene, Harford only appears further disconnected from the world around him; Cruise seems tinier and his eyes appear sunken into his face. When Harford returns home at last, he sees the mask he left behind with the secret society sitting on the pillow next to his sleeping wife. Whatever resolve he has left drains from his body: tears fall down his quivering face, he collapses on the bed, and he says to Alice between sobs, "I'll tell you everything." Whether the mask was really there remains ambiguous, as does much of Eyes Wide Shut. Cruise's delivery alone tells us Harford has been broken by his paranoid behavior – a shocking contrast to the tough John Anderton and intense Ethan Hunt.
Cruise in his most recent film, Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
There are, of course, more films where Tom Cruise portrays characters entrenched in feelings of paranoia: the rest of the Mission: Impossible franchise alone is a great example. It may seem silly to narrow down a 35-year acting career to just these films, all released within six years of each other. However, Minority Report, Mission: Impossible, and Eyes Wide Shut all work in contrast: one is hard-boiled science-fiction, another a spy action extravaganza, the third an erotic psychological drama. His characters in all three films act on basic feelings of distrust and paranoia, yet each role remains distinct. The best actors make us feel intense emotions, and there's hardly anyone like Tom Cruise who can keep us on the edge of our seats, overflowing with tension at what comes next.

A high ranking official at the Interior ministry warns all the citizens in the capital secretaries in Sana'a and the rest of the governorates in Yemen to avoid using or playing with fireworks, burning tires on the celebration of the prophet Mohammed's Birthday (peace be up on him).
The ministry official calls on all the citizens to respect the law for their safety and the safety of others as well. "Many die because of the misuse of returned plots," said a security source. The security of the people and the environment protection is very essential as some of these celebrations cause pollution and distribute others.
While the ministry sends the messages of threat preparation for today's ceremony, people in Sa'ada reply back with beginning the festivities of lighting massive fireworks. Al-Massaira channel broadcasted the heavy fireworks used to welcome the prophet Mohammed's birthday last night, a celebration where some feel that there should be no limits considering he is the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).

Today in APIs: Hubic Launches API, and 11 New APIs
By Greg Bates
Cloud storage company Hubic launches an API amidst price war. McGraw-Hill buys Engrade, secret sauce may be its API. Plus: tomorrow is the day we fight back, dark matter in the API universe, and 11 new APIs.
Hubic Chooses Walmart Strategy for Cloud Storage Products
Cloud storage start up Hubic, in direct competition with the likes of Dropbox, is aiming to undercut rivals on price, and has just launched an API.
The API documentation stipulates that it uses OAuth 2.0, and focuses on server side flow and implicit grant flow.
Romain Dillet from Techcrunch reveals how the two-year old company might just succeed in a price war:
To differentiate itself, HubiC bets on its prices. The company doesn't rely on Amazon S3 like Dropbox, it has its own server infrastructure and multiple data centers — the service probably has less operating costs.
The company offers unlimited online archiving, sharing files, synchronized data, speed, and availability on all your devices.
Did McGraw-Hill Just Buy an API Wrapped Inside a Company?
McGraw-Hill, the textbook company, signaled a major shift in its focus with its $50 million acquisition of Engrade, a company that offers management tools to schools. (See the graphic for a list of their major products.)
According to Rip Empson at Techcrunch, this was no vanilla acquisition. He claims the company, with a new CEO in January, is moving away from textbooks toward providing SaaS. Starting with a simple grade book some ten years ago, Engrade added a plethora of tools, from attendance to parent emails and discipline tracking. Yet there is a great deal more, Empson says:
But the real keys: The team built an API that would allow schools to integrate their existing platforms and software into Engrade, and looked to tear down some of the barriers between educational data silos (a la Education Elements) and aggregate them in one platform. The idea being that grade tracking, test scores, and the different islands of student data could then be accessed more easily by teachers, parents and students via API.
In practice, it's almost a direct parallel to what LearnSprout and Clever are doing with Student Information Systems (SISes) and APIs.
Next up is tackling a huge task: integrating all the data schools generate that is locked up across multiple systems that don't talk with each other. And what's next for McGraw-Hill? Empson reports that the company is on a buying spree--but textbook companies are not included. It's all tech startups, such as Area9 and math company ALEKS.

Jack Clarke admits he will have to change his game to avoid second-season syndrome
The Leeds United winger returned to the club on loan after sealing a permanent move to Tottenham

Jack Clarke has admitted that he will have to change his game this season as he is no longer able to call upon the element of surprise.
The 18-year-old enjoyed an excellent breakout campaign last year following his senior debut in October and would eventually earn a £10million move to Tottenham this summer.
Clarke has immediately returned to Leeds United on loan as he looks to play regular football under Marcelo Bielsa in the Championship , but knows he will have to make changes to his game.
"I think last year it was obviously a lot easier being an unknown prospect and people not knowing how I play and whatnot," he said after a 90-minute outing against Guiseley on Thursday night.
Clarke got 90 minutes on Thursday
"This year people know what I'm about and how I like to play and what I like to do and it will obviously make things a lot more difficult and I'll have to find ways to get around it.
"I think the players I've come up against, obviously will be the same of last season, but will be aware of what I'm about and what I'm going to do so I'll just have to change my game up and do new things."
Clarke also opened up on his summer move, which was sealed earlier this month.

"Yeah, it's been probably the biggest moment of my career so far," he continued. "Making the decision to step away from the club after so long but it's something I feel that's right for me and I'm ready for it.
"Obviously there was always a plan to move on from Leeds eventually I'd say but I'd have much preferred it if we'd gone up last year then it would have just made things a lot more easy.
"I want to come back here and play as much as possible and maybe use it as a platform to display myself next year and maybe push to be involved with the squad next year, but we'll just have to see what happens."

The teenager also believes that he and his team-mates have unfinished business this term.
"I feel like me and speaking on behalf of all the players I feel like we've got a job to do. I feel like we let a lot of people down last seasons and we've got to put it right this year.
"[Promotion] would mean everything really. A childhood dream come true to get this club back into the Premier League. And it would be a nice send off."

The RI Department of Transportation (DOT) is holding a public hearing tomorrow afternoon on proposed regulations addressing the imminent installation of toll gantries for the state's new truck toll program – but the proposal contains no provisions addressing critical privacy issues raised by the system.
Earlier in 2017, partly in response to civil liberties concerns raised by both legislators and advocates, the DOT offered assurances that it would adopt a policy addressing privacy protections. However, the regulations being considered at tomorrow's hearing contain no mention of privacy at all.
"It is imperative that these regulations include explicit privacy safeguards," said Marcela Betancur, ACLU of RI policy associate. "This is a statewide network of toll gantries that has the potential to track and store vast amounts of information on all motorists. The absence of any regulatory safeguards is a significant omission," Betancur continued.
The toll system will use various technologies to detect and capture information from every motor vehicle going under the gantries, even though only certain vehicles will be assessed toll fees. This will include capturing all license plates on the highway, including front and overview images of vehicles. It will presumably include recording the date, time and GPS location of every vehicle on the road. While there is no reason for the data relating to non-commercial vehicles to be retained at all, it appears that, under the RFP, such information will be stored for certain periods of time, whether for auditing or other purposes.
During the Request for Proposal process, the DOT stated that there would be "a specific policy in place regarding the storage, use, and deleting of data and images captured by the tolls prior to toll commencement." The currently proposed rules regulate toll evasion and pricing, but fail to make good on the DOT's pledge to protect privacy. Betancur noted that the DOT could not rely on informal policies to address the privacy issues, as they would fail to provide the clarity, accountability and lawful authority of state regulations.
The hearing is scheduled for 2 PM tomorrow in conference room 2B of the state Department of Administration Building, 1 Capitol Hill, Providence, RI 02908.
A copy of the ACLU's testimony can be found here.

The Most Important Topic Hillary And Trump Won't Discuss Tonight
Both presidential candidates support Big Ag to the detriment of small family farmers.
By Gracy Olmstead
Agriculture, despite its critical importance to the U.S. economy, usually takes a back seat in the presidential election to more glamorous issues such as fighting terrorism, Obamacare, Hillary's emails, and Donald Trump's hair.
But few (if any) domestic issues affect Americans' day-to-day life to the same degree. Agriculture policy affects the dairy, produce, grains, and meat we buy at the grocery store. It affects the prices of those goods, the means by which they make their way from field or barn to your dinner table, and the regulations that meet them along each step of the journey. It affects our pocketbooks, our health, the landscape of our country—and even, one could argue, our national security.
So even if tonight's presidential debaters ignore farming, it's important that we take a careful look at what they have (or have not) said about agriculture policy.
Donald Trump Supports Big Ag, Not the Average Farmer
During primary season, Trump's only stated positions on farming put him directly in the pocket of Big Ag—as Tim Carney put it over at the Washington Examiner, "[Trump] confuses pro-business corporatism with pro-market free enterprise." Carney noted that Trump attacked primary opponent Ted Cruz for opposing ethanol mandates and subsidies, while declaring his own support for the industry. "His full-throated support for the ethanol mandate puts no room between him and Hillary, who has never met a corporate handout she didn't like," said Carney.
Not much has changed since then: although Trump has said little about farming on the campaign trail, he recently released a list of agriculture advisors that, according to Modern Farmer, proffers "a who's who of industrial agriculture advocates, including senators, governors, state ag commissioners, and agribusiness executives. It's safe to say that the Trump ag team supports feedlots over farmers markets."
At an August rally in Des Moines, Iowa, Trump did address the plight—and importance—of family farmers. "Almost 97 percent of farms in this country are family-owned and family-managed. It's not only a great American tradition, but a vital component of America's economic and national security," he said. Trump said he plans to "lower the tax rate on family farms down to 15 percent, and to stop the double-taxation of family farms at death – helping to ensure that the family farm tradition in Iowa continues to thrive and flourish."
He argued that Clinton "wants to shut down family farms just like she wants to shut down the mines and the steelworkers. She will do this not only through radical regulation, but also by raising taxes on family farms—and all businesses—to rates as high as nearly 50 percent. Adding to the pain, she will tax family farms again at death by as much as 45 percent."
We do have problems with radical regulation in agriculture, but Trump has failed to pinpoint specific items he thinks should be deregulated. Instead, he focused on the taxation of private business—which could as easily be applied to the benefit of Big Ag as to cultivating small to midsize family farmers.
When Trump spoke of fighting the estate tax, he spoke of a tax that only applies to estates of $5.45 million or more. In other words, it's a tax that burdens a tiny fraction of the farming community—about 20 farms in all, according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. While there's definitely a libertarian argument to be made for abolishing the death tax, it has very little to do with helping out the average American farmer.
It seems unlikely, then, that Trump is calling for the sort of deregulation that might advance the cause of America's average family farmers, as opposed to its larger, corporatized producers. As PolitiFact noted in a piece on Trump's statements:
The Trump campaign is talking about Clinton's proposal to raise the tax rate for taxpayers who have an adjusted gross income of more than $5 million. … That would not affect the vast majority of people who own small businesses or family farms. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, of the 2.1 million farms in the country in 2012, only 0.3 percent of family farms were large enough to have gross cash income of $5 million or more. The vast majority — 88 percent — reported less than $350,000 in income.
Roberton Williams, senior fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, said, 'Very few people make enough to be affected by the surtax and only a tiny fraction, if any, are traditional family farmers.'
Clinton's Platform Focuses on Handouts, Not Deregulation
That said, Hillary Clinton's ag policy focuses on a swath of government spending that would do more to burden taxpayers than bring lasting change to the farming community.
In her "Plan For A Vibrant Rural America," Clinton promises to "build a strong local and regional food system by doubling funding for the Farmers Market Promotion Program and the Local Food Promotion Program to expand food hubs, farmers markets, SNAP recipients' access to fresh food, and to encourage direct sales to local schools, hospitals, retailers and wholesalers" (emphasis added). She also plans to double funding for the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development program and to "strengthen" USDA grant programs.
Clinton also promises to "make progress in targeting federal resources in commodity payment, crop insurance, and disaster assistance programs to support family operations that truly need them in challenging times, like when weather-related disasters devastate whole areas of the country." This could be a promising indication that Clinton might fight the worst forms of crony capitalism in our crop insurance programs, such as the HPO (Harvest Price Option) crop insurance policy.
But it could also mean that Clinton will support the status quo. Unfortunately, considering her track record of support for the farm bill and her ties to Tom Vilsack (the current secretary of Agriculture), that seems the more likely outcome. As Tom Philpott noted for Mother Jones,
The Clinton team aggressively floated Vilsack as a contender for vice president before settling on Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine for the post. But despite his getting passed over, there was a Vilsack angle—the campaign quickly named Paul, Vilsack's longtime right-hand man, as Kaine's chief of staff. Two Washington insiders who declined to be quoted directly have told me that Vilsack is and will likely remain Clinton's top ag adviser, on everything from policy details to choosing the next USDA chief. That tells me that if Clinton prevails, the next administration will look a lot like the current one on ag policy.
In January, Nathaniel Johnson wrote for Grist that Clinton holds an "underinvestment theory" of farm failure, and focuses more on spending money than on reigning in cronyism. In contrast, Bernie Sanders adhered to the "'unfairness theory' of farm failure," arguing that small and midsize farms "are being held down by unfair competition from foreign trade, big agribusiness, and the government subsidies that support the largest farmers."
How Then Shall We Vote?
It's difficult to know which candidate has a less harmful ag policy—in reality, they'll function rather similarly. Both do little to fight the relationship between Big Ag and Big Government. Clinton wants to spend more money on farming initiatives, but that won't help free up the relationship between small farming producers and their local communities. Trump's agricultural advisors are likely to fight for big, industrialized farm producers—to the detriment of free markets and local food freedom.
Candidates like Rand Paul and Cruz brought some interesting agriculture policies to the table during their primary presidential runs (as did Sanders). Now that they're no longer running for president, it's worth watching what they (and their small-government counterparts in Congress) might seek to accomplish outside of the White House.
In the meantime, we can continue to support a different sort of ag policy in how we vote and what we buy at the local, grassroots level. No matter who's in the White House, we can still buy our milk and butter from Farmer Joe.

Luckily Sherman did not burn down the Smith house at Brent, Georgia. It was built in 1824 when Davis Smith left his home in Washington County to start a new life with his second wife. Sadly, the first wife, Hannah Ferth, had died in childbirth, but not before giving birth to two sons. The first child died soon after birth and was named after the father of his grandmother, William Franklin. The second child was likewise named, but he did not survive either. This sad tale is seen in so many cemeteries.
Although Smith was considered a planter, owing to his acreage, the house was a typical frame farm house with a hall in the center and a narrow staircase to the upstairs. Davis married secondly, the widow, Elizabeth Dixon Jordan, a talented lady whose musical talents were passed down to her children. Her daughter, Jane, attended Wesleyan, the first female college in the State. During the war, the married daughters moved into the big house with the aging Davis Smith, his sons never to come home from the war. Although the plantation was not on Sherman's path to Savannah, however, the families were stripped clean of all domestic fowls and foodstuffs by menacing yankee patrols. Some surprising persons were found buried in the cemetery across the street from the house. After digging a sunken area, a cement slab was discovered to be the grave of the brother of Davis Smith. This was someone I had been searching for, without much luck in the records.
The husband of Jane had served as a surgeon with the Alabama Confederate troops and never returned home from the war. Another discovery was the grave of Tom Clements, their son. It is said that it rained heavily on the day of his funeral and that the pre-dug grave was filled with water. This history was related to me one hundred years after wards by an old relative who kept up the cemetery and lived nearby.
Jane married again, this time to Confederate soldier, Thomas Young Brent from Kentucky. Ty, as he was called, tried to revive the plantation and built a store to sell surplus crops. But times were not the same after the war. The plantation was sorely in need of laborers which they could not acquire. Reconstruction was a period during which many persons lost their homes and fell into poverty. The trend was to search for work in surrounding cities. Jane and her family went to Atlanta and settled in a house in Grant Park. The fate of Ty Brent was the Old Soldier's Home. Jane died five years later and her body was taken to Brent and buried in the family cemetery.
My great-grandmother, Jane Smith (above) was a Seventh-Day Adventist whose faith did not to believe in receiving medical care. She raised seven children. During the 1940s, however, the family was stuck down with typhoid fever. They resided together in the old neighborhood of Grant Park (Atlanta) at 137 Sydney Street (home torn down) in the typical house with high ceilings and one bathroom. The heat was provided by fireplaces and coal brought up from the cellar to fire an old furnace. In those days, flea and tick-carrying rats could easily enter the cellar and plague family members. Typus epidemics were not unusual. In fact, during Napoleon's retreat from Moscow in 1812, more French soldiers died of typus than were killed by the Russians. A major epidemic was disastrous to the Irish when over 100,000 people died between 1815 and 1819. It raged throughout the Civil War and after wards. Things got bad. The children were critically ill. The mother brought in a physician to treat the children. But she did not take the medicine for herself, so died.
Footnote: According to wikipedia, rats in New York are widespread today and thrive in densely populated areas. These brown rats (from Norway) carry pathogens which cause diarrhea, vomiting and fever, and carry fleas which are vectors to bubonic plague, typhus and spotted fever, as a starter.
Did your Ancestors Fight with the Patriots?
If you think that your family members did not associate with famous historical figures of their time, you are wrong. Isaac Smith of Monroe County enlisted from New Kent County, Virginia in the Virginia State Troops during the latter part of 1775. He must have been a true patriot to enlist so early in the Revolutionary War, for he went to Williamsburg where he served under Captain Robert Ballard for one year before going to Norfolk on a small scouting party where he was wounded by "a ball in the forehead." At the time he was in a regiment commanded by the famous Patrick Henry! During August of 1779, he was with General Washington in the battles of White Plains the taking of the Hessions at Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth. But that was not enough, because after he was discharged in 1779 by General Muhlenberg, he joined the Militia of Kent County and was with that Militia at the siege of York and surrender of Lord Cornwallis. In other words, Isaac Smith stood side-by-side with the "bravest of the bravest" and most valiant heroes of the American Revolution. He was a person who believed in freedom and the American way; he never gave up the cause and fought until the very end of the war. If you wish to learn more about the good character of your progenitors, the names of their friends and neighbors and how they helped to build America, read the Revolutionary War pensions. The details of the battles and names of their officers were essential elements of their lives. And, perhaps tell a little bit about you?
How well did Isaac Smith know Patrick Henry and his friends? Dig a little deeper into the life of Henry and you might find out!
One can just about read the history of any given community by reading gravestones. The proxmity of the dates of death, particularly of children and mothers, help to define epidemics such as measles, cholera, smallpox, diptheria and typus, to name just a few. American has gone through many medical transitions, from cures and vacines to the discovery of new strands of virus. The health of a community helps to tell the story of families and answer "why?" to certain situations. My grandmother was cautioned by her mother not to consider a certain beau for matrimony because he had health issues. In those days, women were considering marriage as a life-time-experience and one in which the husband supported her needs. Reading the old newspapers helps to determine more. When a wife left her husband, he posted a notice in the newspaper stating that he was not responsible for her debts. Too, she returned to the home of her parents. If she was abused, it was the duty of a brother to confront the husband. This sort of behavior spread like wildfire, and sorely affection reputations in all facits of business. Because a bad marriage could disrupt the good reputation of families, the parents assisted in locating a proper husband. My grandfather was a good person, never ill a day in his life. But one day, he climbed up on the roof to make some repairs, and fell off. The result was that he died. That left my grandmother, a young woman in her early forties, a widow for the rest of her life!
The first court house was built 1825 in Forsyth and served the community until 1895 or 1896 when a two-story brick edifice was erected. Monroe County was created on May 15, 1821 by an Act of the General Assembly after Creek Indians ceded lands between the Ocmulgee and Flint rivers on Jan. 8, 1821 in the first Treaty of Indian Springs. The land was istributed by the 1821 land lottery and named for James Monroe, President of the US. Later, portions of Monroe County were used to create the following counties: Bibb and Pike in 1822; Butts in 1825 and Lamar in 1920. Many families who lived in Bibb County also resided in Monroe.

Die Herlheimer Mulde ist eine kleinteilige naturräumliche Einheit (5. Ordnung) mit der Ordnungsnummer 137.14 auf dem Gebiet der unterfränkischen Gemeinden Gochsheim, Grettstadt, Kolitzheim und Sulzheim.

Lage
Die Herlheimer Mulde (137.14) bildet eine Untereinheit innerhalb der Haupteinheit Iphofen-Gerolzhofener Steigerwaldvorland (137.1). Sie ist Teil des Steigerwaldvorlandes (137) und damit ein Naturraum in der Haupteinheitengruppe der Mainfränkischen Platten. Im Norden schließt das Hesselbacher Waldland (139) an das Gebiet an, während im Nordosten das am Main gelegene Oberthereser Maintal (137.21) beginnt. Der Osten wird vom ebenfalls zur gleichen Haupteinheit gehörenden Raum Donnersdorfer Steigerwaldvorland (137.15) eingenommen. Der Südosten und der Süden leitet in das Steigerwaldvorland von Neuses (137.12) über. Westlich schließt die Gaibacher Lößhochfläche (137.13) an, während der Übergang zum Schweinfurter Becken (136) im Nordwesten nahezu unsichtbar ist.

Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts wurde die Ausdehnung des Naturraums in einem Aufsatz von Karl-Albert Habbe vergrößert. Der bisher zum Schweinfurter Becken gerechnete Mönchberg-Rücken in der Nähe von Gochsheim wurde der Herlheimer Mulde zugeschlagen.

Der Naturraum liegt im Süden des Landkreises Schweinfurt und wird auf dieser Seite vom Volkacher Sattel begrenzt. Auf administrativer Ebene sind lediglich drei bzw. vier Großgemeinden innerhalb des Naturraums zu finden, wobei den größten Anteil die Gemarkungen der Gemeinde Kolitzheim ausfüllen. Der Naturraum wird von der Bundesstraße 286 in zwei, nahezu gleich große, Teile geteilt. Die nördliche Grenze des Naturraums ist heute gleichbedeutend mit der Grenze der Landkreise Schweinfurt und Haßberge.

Landschaftscharakteristik
Die Herlheimer Mulde präsentiert sich als weite, waldarme Lettenkeupermulde im Steigerwaldvorland. Die Fläche unterscheidet sich vom benachbarten Schweinfurter Becken durch die weite Verbreitung staunasser Tonböden. Die Oberfläche besitzt, im Vergleich zu den weiter südlich angrenzenden Naturräumen des Steigerwaldvorlandes eine geringe Reliefenergie. Daraus resultiert die nur schwache natürliche Entwässerung des Gebietes in Richtung des Maines, der weiter westlich vorbeifließt.

Die tiefliegenden Stellen des Areals weisen aus diesem Grund einen hohen Grundwasserstand auf, was noch durch die tonigen Beimischungen der Lettenkeuperböden verstärkt wird. Die Folge dieser Charakterisierung sind kleinere Vermoorungen. Die ackerbauliche Nutzung und der Anbau von Obst ist unter diesen Umständen nur unter Schwierigkeiten möglich. Der Naturraum wird deshalb, insbesondere in tieferen Lagen wie dem Oberlauf der Volkach oder der Unkenbachaue, von Dauergrünland dominiert. Heute ragt der städtische Verdichtungsraum um Schweinfurt weit in den Naturraum hinein.

Schutzgebiete
Der Naturraum weist eine Vielzahl an Schutzgebieten aus nahezu allen Schutzkategorien auf. Besonderen Schutz bedürfen die Naturschutzgebiete, darunter das für die Landschaft so typische Areal Riedholz und Grettstädter Wiesen mit kleineren Wald- und Moorflächen. Daneben liegt der Sulzheimer Gipshügel am Rande des Naturraums. Die Unkenbachaue ist als Fauna-Flora-Habitat vermerkt, während die größten Schutzflächen vom ausgedehnten Vogelschutzgebiet Schweinfurter Becken und nördliches Steigerwaldvorland eingenommen werden.

Shibani Bathija '90 is "The Writer of the Moment," Declares Outlook India
DePauw drops season opener at Lindenwood
Tigers open season with 1-0 loss to Case Western
Tim Collins '78 and Ripplewood Holdings Engineer $1.2 Billion Acquisition
John Tedstrom '84 is Executive Director of Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS
September 4, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - "If you talk to Shibani Bathija, she'll tell you that life is all roses and champagne," notes an article in Outlook India magazine. "Her debut film Fanaa, and now Karan Johar's KANK, made it to blockbuster grade this year. Of Bathija, a 1990 graduate of DePauw, Namrata Joshi writes, "Shibani is the writer of the moment. She herself finds the whole experience 'unreal'."
The story, which profiles several women in India who are writing screenplays, appears in the September 11 issue. It continues, "For someone whose dad, Raj Bathija, made films like the Rajesh Khanna-Mumtaz starrer Roti, the move to Bollywood took its own time. Shibani [earned] a bachelor's degree in English from DePauw University in the U.S., followed it up with a masters in film and television from San Francisco State University. A stint in advertising and then as a creative developer with Sony followed till she wrote a film script, showed it to friend Karan Johar and found herself getting a break with Yashraj. 'I didn't have to spill blood, sweat and tears to find work,' she says. 'But despite a filmi background, I came to Bollywood the circuitous way'."

The scent of melaleuca oil — more commonly known as tea tree oil — is unmistakeable. This natural remedy has been used for centuries, treating a wide range of ailments. Based on its many medicinal properties, including antibacterial and antiviral effects, this potent oil should be one of your go-to natural remedies.
Melaleuca oil is an essential oil that is often viewed as a cure-all topical solution. Meaning it has magical effects, but you should not be ingesting this oil. Made from the leaves of the tea tree plant, the oil has been used throughout history because of its unique and widespread healing abilities. If you haven't already invested in a bottle of tea tree oil, here are nine reasons why you should.
Although we tend to view acne as a nuisance, often surfacing at the most inopportune times, acne is nothing more than a slight bacterial infection within your sebaceous glands. When applying 100 percent pure raw tea tree oil, you can actually promote more rapid healing.
Based on tea tree oil's antifungal and antiseptic properties, it can prevent acne by destroying the bacteria on the surface of your skin. Once an outbreak occurs, this oil can penetrate deep into your pores, disinfecting blocked glands. Blemishes dry out more quickly, and oil production is then more easily controlled.
The simplest way to apply tea tree oil for acne is by administering a few drops to a clean cotton pad in order to target problematic areas. If you suffer from sensitive skin, dilute with aloe vera and benefit from the aloe vera's soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. The same is true with honey, as it's also a natural antibacterial.
We've all been there — we touch a pan that we forgot was previously in the oven, only to feel an instant burning sensation. Of course, whenever you suffer from a burn, immediately run the affected area under cold water. Once you have cooled the area completely, apply tea tree oil one to three times daily.
As mentioned, aloe is a great solution for soothing a cut or burn, however, it won't prevent the area from becoming infected. If you find that the burn is too sensitive to touch, apply a few drops of melaleuca to a bandage and wrap the affected area. It will promote more rapid healing and reduce your risk of infection.
Whether you trekked through poison ivy or are suffering from prickly heat, tea tree oil helps reduce the severity of your blisters and promotes healing. Based on its antiseptic and antifungal properties, tea tree oil reduces your risk of infection and dries out blisters without provoking itchiness.
In fact, tea tree oil soothes the itch, reducing your desire to scratch and break open the surface of your skin. It's worth noting that some individuals have a sensitivity to tea tree oil, so if you are prone to rashes, always try a spot test first. If you do appear to be sensitive, you may be able to dilute two to three drops in coconut oil and apply every three to four hours.
Dandruff is essentially a sign that your scalp is dry or that your natural skin renewal cycle has sped up. In turn, patches of dead skin begin to form on the surface of the scalp. In some cases, a type of fungus is the direct cause, resulting in an accelerated production of skin.
Tea tree oil is, of course, an antifungal that targets and kills the bacteria that often causes dandruff. When applied to the scalp, it also penetrates the hair follicles, targeting potential microorganisms that may trigger dandruff. To apply, mix a few drops into a carrier oil of your choice, then rub onto your scalp and wait a few hours before washing.
Warts are simply benign growths of skin that vary in appearance, often developing on hands and feet. Caused by a virus within the HPV family, warts are highly contagious. Since this essential oil is both antiviral and antibacterial, it will help you naturally battle the virus that caused the wart to grow. In fact, tea tree oil contains terpenoids, which specifically target viruses.
If you are sensitive, dilute tea tree oil in water and apply twice daily. You can also add this oil to a bandage and leave it on overnight. Once applied, tea tree oil helps to dry out the surrounding area, reducing blood supply to the wart itself. The skin cells of the wart will die and the root cause will be treated — the virus.
Ear infections may develop based on a range of causes, including bacteria, a virus or excess fluid. Antibiotics are generally prescribed, which unfortunately kill good bacteria in the body as well. When applying tea tree oil, you will naturally kill the bacteria that has caused the infection. Since pain is often associated with these infections, tea tree oil's anti-inflammatory effects can help reduce the irritation and discomfort resulting from inflammation.
There are a number of ways to administer tea tree oil for this purpose. The easiest is to combine approximately 1/3 cup of warm water with two to three drops of tea tree oil. Apply the solution to your ears via a dropper, allowing each side to rest for four to five minutes before flipping over onto a towel. Continue this process three times daily until you experience relief — a minimum of three days is recommended.
If you have experienced a toothache, you know that the throbbing pain can be both sharp and extreme. More often than not, a toothache is caused by bacteria that has penetrated the tissue in your tooth, resulting in inflammation. Meaning, if you remove the bacteria, the pain will generally subside.
Simply add a couple of drops to a glass and fill with water. Swish the mixture in your mouth and then spit it out. Be careful not to swallow. Continue this process until the cup is empty and then repeat once more. If the pain is severe, also include one drop of clove essential oil.
When suffering from conditions such as colds, flus, coughs and even bronchitis, steam inhalation and the use of a diffuser is an effective way to benefit from an essential oil. Acting as an effective expectorant, tea tree oil helps the body to naturally expel mucous. The antibacterial and antiviral properties of melaleuca will help reduce inflammation in the lungs, eliminating problematic symptoms. Bronchitis, which can be caused by a virus or bacteria, can also be effectively treated with tea tree oil.
You can place a few drops of oil onto a clean towel and slowly inhale the vapors. Similarly, add a few drops to a bowl of boiling water and breathe the vapors that way. Creating a tent with a towel over a steam vaporizer is just as effective. You can also dilute tea tree oil with coconut or almond oil and apply directly to your chest.
When you have been bitten by an insect, you often experience inflammation, swelling and itching. Tea tree oil disinfects the area, reducing your risk of further complications. If the wound is open, dilute with a carrier oil of your choice. Since tea tree oil is a natural insecticide, it's highly effective against head lice and mosquitos as well.
Whether you're coughing up a lung or trying to soothe a burn, melaleuca — or tea tree oil — is a great natural remedy. As with all essential oils, when investing in a bottle, ensure that you're purchasing 100 percent pure organic tea tree oil that is void of any chemicals or additives.
