MarquesBlackStar – September 15, 2008

Dear global friend,

Network anywhere and everywhere…because modern life is all about the care that we have for other people. We need to respect everyone from different walks of life, because we never know what they know… imagine a Doctor Biologist taking care about your healthy fish…

Dr. Irena Fonda

Dr. IRENA FONDA IS a GREAT BRAND in SLOVENIA…

For me a networker has great passion for people. I want to tell you my point of view about that, because I’m in the city of the light… Paris, three days ago I landed in a paradise called SLOVENIA…

Networking is a way of living, making new friends for life. We just carry on traveling like the navigators without destination…We have something in our days…the power of the people that IS help others to achieve dreams… we will carry on our trip in a much safer way. NETWORK WITH YOUR HAPPY HEART AND EVEN MUSIC CAN HELP A LOT…

Can you imagine that we are on the boat…with Andreja, Tina, me, Hanka and Miss FONDA.

Every human being has got the mission of being great in all senses. CAN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR 30 SECONDS AND THINK ABOUT A SMALL BALL…

A small boy loves to throw a small ball away… now think about one bird distant at the sky…

Now imagine a ball with YOU, or a single bird look at you from the sky, don’t you think that is better to have a bird on the grass singing for him and for you AND WHY NOT THE ONES THAT LOVE YOU AND HELP YOU…

1000 kilos ball …how many hands you need to throw the big but fantastic ball way.. do you think that you can do that alone only using your own hands…!

I’m very happy to let you know that passion, care and action help you so much that you cant imagine…You need then the great and positive power and the instant confidence for looking for what you dream about…but not eating alone or doing everything alone without the wise advise of long life learners… NETWORKING IS LIKE EVERYTHING IN LIFE… you become what you practice with vision, inspiration! You need people and mother nature…!

So, as a networker farmer …I’m very happy to advise you to plant goods seeds whenever you are or you go… feed every seed …don’t forget the small detail that make a great difference in others people life…

We learn from the most simple things in life… I KNOW THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THE PRECIOUS RULES OF A GOOD NETWORKER… BUT as a heart friend I only want to say that you should give…

and help from the heart… because the universe is great and everyone should be happy for the wind, the sun or the rain…

Thanks to BNI, ECADEMY AND ALL MY DEAREST NETWORKING FRIENDS THAT I HAVE THE SAME DESIRE OF LOVING EVERYONE AS I LOVE MYSELF.

Happy day from the city of the light.. PARIS.
Warmest regards.

Marriage of Jelles Douwes and Hester Douwedr

This is a microfilm copy of the original Banns (marriage vows) between Jelles Douwes and Hester Douwedr in 1641. Surnames were not used at the time in Holland. Douwes means son of Douw, Douwedr means daughter of Douw… they were not related, that we know of. The first image is the Baans certificate and the second is the register (Jilles and Hester are the second of three couples shown). Can anyone translate this into English?

Calls for mining to be exempt from environment laws

ABC News – Mar 18, 2008

A group of landowners from Adelaide River south of Darwin are calling for changes to legislation regulating exploration and mining.  Dr Michael Fonda says rural residents are concerned about the potential impact of increased exploration for uranium.  He says rural communities should have the same protection from resource development as urban areas.

Dr Fonda says the group is lobbying for exploration to be prevented on larger blocks, as part of the review of the Northern Territory Mining Act, and is calling for the Environmental Protection Board to consider introducing Environmental Impact Statements for exploration licences.  “The EPA is at the moment having its legislation revised and we think it would be a good idea to have environmental impact statements compulsory in the process of new mining applications, which they aren’t at the moment.”

But the former chief executive of the Northern Territory Minerals Council Kezia Purick says the suggested changes would prevent access to outback Australia would unfairly compromise the resource industry.  “No company would ever actually get on the ground if they had to go through a full EIS, bearing in mind that and Environmental Impact Statement can take upwards of 12 to 18 months to complete and it can cost upwards of nearly $1 million.  “Exploration can be a high risk activity and it’s high risk high reward, but it can also be high risk high loss.”

Foyngha, Netherlands

The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, “Amsterdam Records of the Fonda Family” states: “In Frisian records van der Meer did not find any mention of the name Fonda, but in the vicinity of Kollum in northeast Friesland, where Benedictus Jacobse (Fonda) lived, he came across the names Banda, Ronda and Sinda. He also noted that in 1580 Benedictus was manager of an estate near Kollum called ‘Foyngha,’ and there was a chance that ‘Fonda’ was a corruption of that name.”

Eagum, Netherlands

Continuing from the above document, “Gillis (Jelles, pronounced “Yelles”) Fonda first appears in America in the Rensselaerwyck records on October 15, 1651 when he requested court permission to distill liquor in the Green Bos, in the house belonging to Evert Pels, next to a brewery. The date of his arrival in the colony or on what vessel he arrived is not in the records. According to the publication of the banns for his marriage to Hester Douwess on Jan. 19, 1641, he was from Agum or Aegum (or Eagum), a small village in the present municipality of Idaarderadeel in the Province of Friesland, the Netherlands. He was at that time 25 years old and his parents were deceased. Hester was from Amsterdam and 24 years old. Her stepmother Elsgen Douwes assisted her at the banns. They were married at Diemen, on February 10, 1641. Diemen is a place close to Amsterdam.”

The site of Jilles Douwe (Fonda) farm in Eagum, Netherlands before he and family left for America in 1650 has been located:
