1. Bermuda
   The Virginia Company took an interest in Bermuda after hearing of their mild climate and the fact Bermuda was at peace. Three years after Somers' adventure, the company organized 60 settlers to establish a permanent colony on Bermuda. Bermuda were not as abundant as was first thought. The topsoil was shallow and limited agriculture and the lack of water prevented crops like sugar cane from being grown. The settlers soon became dependant on food imports from the American colonies, which they paid for by supplying sea salt secured from other islands.
2. Have a Nice Day -- Miscellaneous
   Her girlfriends have all confirmed that Natalee called her mother "Hitler's Sister" when she was mad at her. Just a way to say she was really strict basically. No real statement about Hitler was intended. Joran didn't even have the quote correct BTW - the friends are the ones who explained what he was talking about. Joran didn't even "get" what she meant - it didn't translate well. You can verify in several interviw transcripts - Ruth and the other girl she roomed and her "guy friend who was on the trip with her ALL confirmed she said this.
3. Mississippi Delta
   The Mississippi Delta, a wedge-shaped region in northern Mississippi between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers, is generally believed to be where the blues originated. The area has spawned an enormous number of musicians, many of whom now have international reputations. The conditions that gave birth to the blues-poverty, racism, and inhumane working situations-led many musicians to leave the state as soon as they could. Most traveled North, heading first to Memphis, and then to urban centers, such as Chicago, St. Louis and Detroit. Nonetheless, the blues did not vanish from the Mississippi countryside, and even today the music can still be heard in juke joints in a number of towns.
