Old Berrien Newsletters Vol 5. No.2.
No full textThis item contains 1 PDF with 4 pages in addition to 4 JP2 filesThis document details the history of the Nashville Bottling Works in Berrien County, Georgia, tracing its origins from a modest operation in Sparks in February 1905 by Homer J. Hall and Jackson Whitehurst. Initially serving Nashville from Sparks, the bottling works relocated to Nashville in August 1906 under Joel I. Norwood, producing popular drinks like High Life Ginger Ale. The business saw several ownership changes before Benjamin A. Deal, Jr. acquired it in 1912, significantly expanding its reach and constructing a new building. By 1917, the Nashville operation became known as the Lime Cola Bottling Company, featuring "Dope" and "Upper-Ten Ginger Ale" among its offerings. A devastating fire in July 1920 destroyed the plant, leading to J.R. "Dick" Bennett taking over and, by 1923, transforming it into a Coca-Cola bottling plant. However, the Great Depression led to its downsizing in 1933 to solely a distribution facility, and by November 1941, the site was converted into a market, marking the end of local bottling operations that had quenched the thirst of Berrienites for nearly two decades
Disease Surveillance of Dirofilaria immitis and West Nile Virus in Mosquitoes in Lowndes County, Georgia
No full textDirofilaria immitis, the causative agent of canine heartworm disease, and West Nile virus (WNV) are both mosquito-borne pathogens. Mosquito surveillance and vector determination are crucial in understanding the transmission of these pathogens which helps implement methods of control to prevent and predict outbreaks. In this study I assessed the ability of the Anopheles quadrimaculatus complex to transmit D. immitis and investigated the influence climate and land use and land changes (LULC) have on WNV transmission in Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, the primary vector in the Southeastern United States. Standard PCR and an L3-specific RT-PCR protocol were used to assess D. immitis infection rates in An. quadrimaculatus mosquito samples. To determine the influence of climate and LULC on WNV from 2012-2021, data were collected from Weather Underground and the VSU WNV Mosquito Surveillance lab. Results from this study suggest that the An. quadrimaculatus complex is a potential vector of D. immitis and that urbanization and temperature influence WNV transmission by mosquitoes in Lowndes Co., GA.Introduction 1 -- Canine Heartworm 1 -- West Nile Virus -- L3 Specific RT-PCR and Standard PCR Analysis of D. immitis presence in the Anopheles -- quadrimaculatus Mosquito Complex 6 -- Literature Review 6 -- Methods -- Specimen Collection 9 -- RNA Extraction and Conversion to cDNA 10 -- DNA Extraction 11 -- RT-PCR Analysis and Gel Electrophoresis 12 -- PCR Analysis and Gel Electrophoresis 13 -- Statistical Analysis 14 -- Results 14 -- Standard PCR and Gel Electrophoresis 14 -- L3 Specific RT-PCR 14 -- Discussion 14 -- Analysis of Temperature and Habitat on West Nile Virus Infection of Bridge Vectors 16 -- Literature Review 16 -- Methods 18 -- Specimen Collection and Processing 18 -- WNV Detection 19 -- Trap Index Calculation 20 -- Climate and LULC Data Collection 20 -- Results 20 -- Discussion 21 -- Conclusion 24 -- References 25.Blackmore, MarkLockhart, JackGrabarczyk, ErinChambers, EricM.S.Biolog
"Sir James Frazer." Paper presented at the Shaking the Tree, Breaking the Bough: Frazer's Golden Bough at 100, Melbourne, Australia, February 10, 2023

This address is devoted to explaining how and why this was, and to suggesting which of his ideas are still relevant to the present day, and which are not.

The Nude in Iconography in Contemporary Cults: A Study Case of Lilith
No full text1 video file. ms150-40-023_lavalle-vanessa_nude-iconography_2023-02-12.mp4 .mp4 657.27 MB 689,194,064In Western contemporary paganism, “naked Goddess’’ figures are often used as images of the “Great Goddess”. This holds particularly true in the Western French Wicca which uses ancient Mesopotamian iconography as the representation of Lilith. While those images do represent varied ancient goddesses, for modern devotees she is the demoness Lilith. This paper will look at how scholarship brought by Marija Gimbutas, James Frazer, and Margaret Murray have contributed to this interpretation and how these images are used and interpreted in contemporary cults.

Guess Who’s Back? Graeber and Wengrow’s Resurrection of Matristic Minoans in 'The Dawn of Everything'
No full text1 video file. ms150-40-016_obrien-stephen_graeber-wengrow_2023-02-11.mp4 .mp4 475.99 MB 499,113,808In 2021 David Graeber and David Wengrow released their book The Dawn of Everything: A new history of humanity to acclaim in the popular media and bestseller status in several countries. Anthropologists and Archaeologists have made critiques of a number of the book’s claims. To date, however, little critical attention has been devoted to Graeber and Wengrow’s presentation of the societies of the Aegean Bronze Age. Contrasting Crete with the “heroic societies” of the Greek mainland, the authors evoke a Minoan world of unfortified centers, art focused on the natural world, and women depicted in positions of authority. Harking back to the work of Frazer, Evans, and Gimbutas, Graeber and Wengrow posit a Cretan theocracy ruled by a college of priestesses. This paper will examine the evidence presented to back these interpretations and will ask whether the attempted resurrection of a matristic Minoan Crete is justified

They Have No Face: State Apparatuses and Identity's Absence in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and The Waves
No full textThis study attempts to answer a question at the core of Modernist thought: what is the self? Specifically, this study examines state apparatuses within two novels by Virginia Woolf: Mrs. Dalloway and The Waves. This analysis discusses how state apparatuses destabilize and call into question the existence of identity in the novels. Identity refers to “the sameness of a person or thing at all times or in all circumstances; the condition of being a single individual; the fact that a person or thing is itself and not something else; individuality; personality” (“Identity, n2”). Forced societal expectations via state apparatuses prompt characters to conform to standardized and repressive modes of behavior. The characters’ expected societal roles differ from their interior, unfulfilled desires. This dissonance, between expected behavior and desired behavior, creates problems within characters throughout these novels. Furthermore, characters in these novels constantly view themselves through the repressive gaze of prevailing ideologies and thereby experience mental strife. Essentially, I argue that anxiety signifies state apparatuses undermining the idea of a stable identity. If fear makes up part of the self, then what is the self exactly?
