The elusive Jimmy Red corn is one of the most famous Red corn varieties in the United States. Legend has it that Jimmy Red corn was planted through moonshiners who resided on James Island in South Carolina during the Prohibition era. The variety was bred from Red corn once used by Native Americans and was traditionally grown in forests to conceal the crops from authorities. Moonshiners favored Jimmy Red corn for its distinct coloring, high sugar content, and unique, rich flavoring. On James Island, the moonshine produced from the Red corn was locally known as Jimmy Red hooch and was sold off people's back porches, concealed in bags of food purchased from the homeowner as a deflection. Jimmy Red corn remained a mysterious variety heavily guarded throughout the 20th century until the last moonshiner who cultivated the species passed away in the early 2000s. The heirloom variety almost went extinct with its owner's passing, but seed saver Ted Chewning managed to track the Red corn down and save two ears. Chewning spent several seasons growing and saving seeds for Jimmy Red corn, slowly increasing the variety's availability. During this time, Chewning had to hand pollinate each corn stalk and cover the flowers to prevent unknown pollen from disrupting the species' bloodline. Chewning also gave farmers, food historians, and local chefs some seeds, further expanding the variety's presence in the southern United States. One chef in Charleston, South Carolina, Sean Brock, convinced Chewning to give him some seeds and began growing Jimmy Red corn for use in his two restaurants. Brock's Red corn-infused dishes were a success, and he became so enamored with the variety he tattooed the corn onto his arm. Thanks to the efforts of these individuals in the early 21st century, Jimmy Red corn is offered to growers and home gardeners throughout the United States. The variety is still used to produce whiskey, and distillers claim the kernels can create rich, honeyed, floral notes or generate a fruity, banana, and butterscotch taste.

The image of a crying child musician has been ranked as one of the most moving photos in modern history. This photo of a 12-year-old Brazilian boy (Diego Frazzo Turkato) playing the violin at the funeral of his teacher who rescued him from an environment where poverty and crime were at an all-time high. In this image, humanity speaks with the strongest voice in the world: “Cultivate love and kindness in a child to sow the seeds of compassion. And only then will you build a great civilization, a great nation"... 📷 Marcos Tristao
Turquoise tiles of Marmara,
Shimmering in summer's glow,
Reflecting the azure sky.
Domes and minarets rise,
Embracing the faithful's prayers,
Echoing the call to faith.
Bazaars bustle with life,
Spices, fabrics, and old charm,
Weaving tales of the past.
Bosphorus winds caress,
Carrying whispers of empire,
Bidding ships sail onward.
Hagia Sophia stands,
Majestic, a testament
To Byzantium's might.
Across the Golden Horn,
Galata Tower watches over,
Guarding the city's heart.
Vibrant, dynamic,
Istanbul, a tapestry woven
Of cultures, faiths, and time.
While the Industrial Revolution did bring about significant advancements and changes, it is not accurate to say that these advancements were solely a result of leaving the church. The causes and impacts of the Industrial Revolution were multifaceted and cannot be attributed to a single factor. However, it is true that the Industrial Revolution did coincide with a shift in societal and cultural values, including a decline in the influence of the church in certain aspects of life.
The Enlightenment, which preceded the Industrial Revolution, challenged traditional religious and philosophical beliefs and emphasized reason, science, and individualism. This intellectual movement played a role in shaping the attitudes and ideas that contributed to industrialization. The rise of scientific inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge based on empirical evidence were important factors in driving technological advancements during this period.
Moreover, the Industrial Revolution brought about socioeconomic changes that impacted the role of the church in society. As industrialization progressed, the focus shifted towards urban areas and industrial centers, leading to changes in societal structures and values. Traditional rural communities with strong religious ties were disrupted, and urbanization and industrial work patterns often resulted in the weakening of religious practices and community bonds.
However, it is important to note that religion still played a significant role in the lives of many individuals during the Industrial Revolution. Churches continued to provide spiritual guidance, social support, and moral teachings to a large portion of the population. Moreover, religious organizations and individuals were involved in various philanthropic efforts and social reforms aimed at addressing the negative impacts of industrialization, such as poor working conditions and social inequalities.
In summary, while there was a shift in societal values and a decline in the influence of the church during the Industrial Revolution, attributing the advancements solely to leaving the church oversimplifies the complex factors that contributed to industrialization. The causes and impacts of the Industrial Revolution were the result of a combination of technological, economic, social, and cultural factors.
