24 Day Wildlife, Gorillas and Zanzibar Overland Tour Itinerary
Day 1
Dar es Salaam – Zanzibar (Optional)
We are taken to the 'Spice Island' via a ferry that departs from Dar es Salaam. Here, we have the option to spend the next three evenings. Zanzibar is rich in history and was one of the foremost starting points for majority of East African explorers in their pursuit of new land. New fellow travellers may join us here, replacing those who will be leaving us at the end of our Zanzibar expedition.
Please note: Accommodation and Meals are for your own expense whilst on Zanzibar. The trip leader will join you and it is through them that you can organise your lodging, whilst meals can be purchased from a broad variety of restaurants. There will also be a wide selection of Optional Excursions on offer. For travellers not wishing to visit the island of Zanzibar, the next three days will be spent at leisure at the beach campsite in Dar es Salaam. Here, there will be a variety of Optional Excursions available from the camp, including diving, snorkelling and fishing trips.
Meals Included: Breakfast
New legislation prohibits the taking of photographs during the Zanzibar ferry ride. Spot fines can be issued, if legislation is not obeyed.
Included Activity: Zanzibar Ferry
Day 2 - 3
Zanzibar (no meals included)
Apart from its intriguing history, Zanzibar has plenty of enthralling experiences to offer visitors. Zanzibar is well-known for its tasty spices , and a trip around one of the spice plantations always proves to be an extremely interesting experience. Other Optional Excursions include an outing to the incredible beaches and gigantic tortoises of Prison Island, a full day scuba dive that takes place in Nungwe or even a fishing trip in a traditional dhow. You can always hire a moped to get yourself around the island, perhaps to one of the brilliant seafood restaurants where you can indulge in a sumptuous and very reasonably-priced meal. In fact, Zanzibar is a seafood lover's heaven, with only the freshest seafood being caught daily – crayfish being a rather well-liked specialty. If you prefer to hang back, feel free to socialise with the interesting and friendly locals during dinner.
Optional Activity: Zanzibar Excursion
Day 4
Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Leaving Zanzibar in the afternoon, we return to the mainland and another night in Dar es Salaam. Arrival back to camp is usually in the late afternoon, or early evening.
Meals Included: Dinner
Day 5
Dar es Salaam to Arusha, Tanzania
From Dar es Salaam we have a long transit day's drive through vast sisal plantations and African bushveld to Arusha. Some tours might decide as a group to push on through to Arusha (at own cost). On the way, we pass The Pare and Usambara Mountain ranges before driving through the town of Moshi where we may even catch a glimpse of this magical mountain's snowy summit of Kilimanjaro.
Meals Included:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6 - 8
Arusha – Karatu – Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti Excursion (Optional),Tanzania
- Arusha – Karatu (optional)
- Karatu – Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti
We start the day by paying a visit to the Meserani Snake Park and Masai Cultural Museum. Just a few minutes walk away from the campsite you will find a gallery selling paintings with a charming African feel to it. After lunch you are met by a local Tanzanian operator who leads the trips into the Parks in four wheel drive vehicles that have been modified for safari use.
Departing from the campsite we make our way through the Masai town of Mtu Wa Mbu ('Mosquito River', situated next to the Lake Manyara National Park), and up the Rift Valley Escarpment to the village of Karatu. Karatu boasts incredible views of the surrounding hills and has numerous wheat farms that only add more beauty to this magnificent scenery. Our evening is spent at a lovely campsite in Karatu.
On the morning of the 2nd day, we leave in the early hours to enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and make our way into the Ngorongoro Crater that is abundant with wildlife, offering some of the best game viewing in the African continent, including the elusive Black Rhino. Following our Crater game drive, we travel down the Crater's rim and pass the Cradle of Mankind before reaching the Serengeti National Park.
Game driving through the southern and central regions of the Park, we cross seemingly infinite landscapes that offer only natural beauty. We bush camp (no ablution facilities) tonight amongst the cool breezes and tranquil sounds of the African wilderness. (Sleep in the Serengeti – optional)
Meals Included:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Optional Activity: Serengeti Excursion
Please note: For the travellers who are sitting this one out, their next days will be spent at leisure, delighting in their surrounds – the Meserani Reptile Park, the Masai Cultural Museum and the neighbouring villages and craft markets. If you wish to do something else, you are always free to explore the nearby town of Arusha.
Day 9
Serengeti to Arusha, Tanzania
In the morning, we head off for another game drive and explore the landscape in search of the resident game. We make our way back across the plains and up along the crater rim to our camp in Arusha.
If you choose not to do the optional Serengeti/ Ngorongoro Crater you will remain at the campsite. Please contact us for more information.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 10
Arusha – Nairobi, Kenya
In the early morning, we head out to the Tanzania/Kenyan border through to the small border town of Namanga. Once we've finished up our border formalities, we carry on to Kenya's capital, Nairobi, to our campsite situated on the city's outskirts.
The rest of the day is yours at leisure to enjoy some of the many options available in this bustling city; visit The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust or spend the evening at the famous Carnivores Restaurant.
Meals Included: Breakfast X2, Lunch, Dinner
Day 11
Nairobi – Masai Mara, Kenya
Departing from the bustling Nairobi, we climb the escarpment to our first destination, a viewpoint that overlooks a portion of the remarkable Great Rift Valley. We then descend into the Rift Valley, entering the Masai territory where these farmers are frequently seen tending to their livestock on the roadsides. Passing through the town of Norak, we continue our travels, possibly catching a glimpse of some gorgeous wildlife along the way. We arrive at our campsite in the late afternoon. Acacia Camp overlooks the Meguarra hills as well as the stream that creates a natural border to the Masai Mara National Reserve.
Meals Included:Lunch, Dinner
Day 12
Masai Mara, Kenya
We leave briefly after the sun rises and embark on a game drive into the Masai Mara Reserve. This reserve is famous for being one of East Africa's top National Reserves and is home to a broad selection of wildlife species. It is perhaps most well-known for hosting the magnificent Annual Migration, consisting of massive herds of over one million, including wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson's gazelle that all cross over from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The Masai Mara is most visited between the months of July and October, when these impressive herds feast on the luscious, fresh grazing available in the reserve. Africa's predators are usually close behind these herbivores and are frequently seen at a kill during this time of year. We game drive some more through a portion of the park, searching for the Big 5 as well as many other species of wildlife who make this reserve their home.
Following our day of game spotting, we have the opportunity to pay a visit to one of the close by Masai Manyattas. These are family compounds where the Masai live in their traditional ways. During the night, we gather around an open campfire and marvel at the magnificent sunset provided to us by the glorious skies of Africa.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Included Activity: Masai Mara National Reserve
Day 13
Masai Mara – Eldoret, Kenya
Departing early from the Masai Mara, we make our way out of Masai land, passing through the picturesque tea plantations of Kericho before we descend the Rift Valley Plateau and arrive at Eldoret.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 14
Eldoret– Kampala, Uganda
Today is the day we cross the Ugandan border where we spend the night in the capital city of Kampala. A small country, Uganda is abundant with stunning scenery. The landscapes of Uganda vary, from the luscious green regions around the northern shores of Lake Victoria to the snowy Ruwenzori Mountains in the west as well as the desert-like area in the north. The past unstable politics of Uganda have had a surprisingly positive effect in the country, leaving it free of the commercialism that has taken over so many other areas of Africa. President Museveni's administration has devoted a large amount of effort and funds in order to restore Uganda to its former glory and status as one of the continent's most flourishing, and from a tourist's perspective, one of the most attractive and intriguing countries to visit.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 15 - 18
Kampala – Lake Bunyonyi (optional Gorilla Trekking), Uganda
We leave Kampala in the early hours of the morning and head west to our base at the serene Lake Bunyonyi in Uganda. Lake Bunyonyi is the deepest Crater Lake in Africa and is abundant with various exquisite birds. It is also the starting point of the optional Gorilla trek. Depending on where permits for trekking are currently being offered, we adventure out into the Magahinga or Bwindi National Parks in Uganda, the Virunga National Park in the DRC, or the Ruhengeri National Park in Rwanda. The costs per permit are constantly being altered and may be adjusted without notice.
Please Note:
At present, prices are set at US $600 (subject to change). A local transport and handling fee of about US $120 per person is also charged (this fee covers the return public transfer as well as the booking cost of the Wildlife Authority). For tours in the DRC or Rwanda, an additional cost is charged for your visa that will allow you entrance to either country as well as for visa renewal upon re-entering Uganda. It is recommended that you bring along a bit of extra cash for tipping the local guides and rangers. Please be sure to budget well, as permit payments must be made in US$ cash during the pre-departure meeting.
Trekking Procedures:
There are only approximately 700 remaining mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei), the species that are known as our closest living relatives. Paying a visit to these placid creatures is an incredibly unique experience that will not be soon forgotten. The gorillas are monitored by park rangers on a day-to-day basis, but their whereabouts is not always known due to them being free roaming animals, therefore a sighting is not always 100% guaranteed. Due to the massive amount of DNA that we share with these beautiful giants, anyone showing signs of a cold or transferable illness will not be allowed to join the trek. Keep in mind that trekking is only available to those over 16 years of age.
The restrictions on the daily amount of visitors trekking to see these amazing animals means that we will be departing on our excursions from our base at Bunyonyi in small groups over three to four days, depending on the size of our group. On the way to the National Park, we snake our way through some of the most stunning scenery in Africa and, depending on where permits are available, we might spend an evening in either Kisoro or Rwanda. The next morning, after packing a tasty lunch to bring along, we transfer to the ranger's station where we begin our journey to the gorillas. We will be led by our rangers through farming lands, then into thick rain forests and finally, to a family of gorgeous gorillas. This adventure can take from 45 minutes to 8 hours (excluding transfer time) and it can at times be rather exhausting and physically demanding, therefore a reasonable level of fitness will be required. In order to make sure that the gorillas do not get too accustomed to being visited by humans as well as to ensure that no illnesses are caught from us (due to the amount of our shared DNA), the maximum time we are allowed to spend with them is one hour. This will give you more than enough time to observe their incredible lifestyle and makes for a spectacular photographic opportunity. The rangers with whom we trek will happily provide you with the background of the gorilla family you visit, giving you a better insight into their lives in the wild. When your time with the gorillas comes to an end, you will hike your way out of the rain forest and head to your meeting point where you will be taken back to our campsite at Lake Bunyonyi.
During your trek, do not let yourself feel as though you are exploiting these magnificent creatures as the countless number of tourists that make their way to see the gorillas every day plays a crucial role in the animals' survival. For decades, gorillas have been mercilessly hunted for their hands and heads which are sold as ashtrays and lampshades. In addition to this, an enormous amount of gorillas have died whilst attempting to stop poachers taking their babies in order to sell them to zoos where they hardly ever live for very long. Every bit of the amount you pay for your permit cost to see these remarkable creatures is utilized by park authorities to pay for gorilla protection patrols that aid in preventing poachers from reaching these animals.
Depending on where your trek takes place, you might pass through some of the local villages situated in this area due to the large number of refugees escaping from the Rwandan Genocide or from the constant turmoil in the DRC. The inhabitants of these villages are mostly subsistence farmers and families who farm on the hills of the volcanoes. To witness how these residents have ploughed, planted and harvested their crops in such unusual terrain and settings is quite an extraordinary sight.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Please note that the transfer fee is not included in the trekking price
Day 19
Lake Bunyonyi – Kampala, Uganda
Once we are done admiring the encounters we have experienced with the gorillas and finished delighting in the tranquillity offered to us by the beautiful Lake Bunyonyi, we commence our travels back to Kampala. Crossing the Equator for the second time on this trip, we pull over for the 'one foot in each hemisphere' photographic opportunity. Tonight we camp in Kampala, giving us the chance to head out and experience the city's nightlife scene.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 20
Kampala – Jinja, Uganda
Today gives us a choice to visit the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary or to head to Jinja for a variety of adventurous activities, including white water rafting in the White Nile, quad biking or visiting a volunteering community project. Our afternoon is devoted to time spent unwinding on the riverbanks or spotting the wide selection of beautiful water birds that frequent this area.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 21
Jinja – Nakuru, Kenya
We leave in the morning and make our way back to Kenya, stopping on the way to gather supplies and to enjoy a delicious lunch. We spend the night outside of Nakuru at a charming campsite situated on a local farm. Kenya's fourth biggest town and the capital of the Rift Valley Province, Nakuru lies adjacent to the relatively small Lake Nakuru National Park that is surprisingly abundant in wildlife. EAMO Orphanage.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
EAMO: East African Mission Organisation
Day 22
Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya
In the morning, we start exploring the stunning Lake Nakuru National Park, renowned for the countless flamingos that are attracted to the edges of this soda lake. The actual numbers of these birds varies depending on the water level that, when low, almost transforms the lake into a haze of pink. The park was initially established as a sanctuary for black and white rhino, which are often spotted here. Our day is spend seeking out these gorgeous creatures as well as the elusive leopard, whilst on the way coming into contact with buffalo, giraffe, numerous antelope and the occasional hippopotamus.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Included Activity: Game drives through Lake Nakuru National Park in the overland vehicle
Day 23
Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha, Kenya
Home to a wide variety of birdlife (the most spectacular being the African Fish Eagle with its majestic cry), Lake Naivasha is the highest of the Rift Valley lakes at 1800 metres. Our day is spent partaking in Optional Excursions such as an outing to Elsamere (former home to George and Joy Adamson of the Born Free Foundation), a boat trip to the Crescent Island Game Sanctuary or just a bicycle ride around Hell's Gate National Park.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Included Activity: Lake Naivasha
Day 24
Lake Naivasha – Nairobi, Kenya
Following a scrumptious breakfast, we make our way back to Nairobi, where we usually arrive in the early afternoon. Upon our arrival at Acacia Camp, we swap contact details, say our goodbyes and part ways from the people with whom we have just shared an incredible life-changing experience. We have the remainder of the day to take part in some of the various options offered to us in this lively city. Visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust where you can watch the orphaned baby elephants during feeding time, head to the Giraffe Centre in Langata, embark on another day trip of game viewing or, if you haven't quite completed your souvenir collection, hope on a Matutu to one of the local curio markets nearby the campsite. Tonight you are also encouraged to try out the famous Carnivores restaurant.

Diocesan News ISSUE 124: JUNE 2013
CHILDREN'S MUSIC CLUB SET TO HIT THE RIGHT NOTE An idea for a children's choir snowballed within months into a music club for local youngsters. Angela Watson explains how it is all coming together. . .
A FEW months ago, Aidan (16), who sings in our choir at St Margaret's Newlands, expressed an interest in starting a choir for children at the church. We then put our heads together with Maggie McTernan, our curate, who advised on child protection and other important planning issues. Since Aidan was looking at a busy period with impending Standard Grade exams, we agreed that I should take the plunge over the Easter break and attend a British Kodály Academy course for singers and choir leaders at Coombe Abbey,near Bath. Zoltán Kodály was a Hungarian composer who came across the sol-fa system of reading music (doh, ray, me…etc) on a visit to Britain in the 1920s and
Pilgrim site crisis TV celebrity Neil Oliver is backing a campaign to save the visitor centre at the cradle of Christianity in Scotland. Student days saw the documentary presenter volunteering in Wigtownshire at Whithorn's famous archaeology dig. A major pilgrimage destination for centuries, Whithorn is where St Ninian built what is believed to be Scotland's first stone church. But a funding shortfall threatens the visitor centre and museum run by the Whithorn Trust. Closure would be a blow to the revival of longdistance pilgrim routes to the area—including the Ayrshire Pilgrims Trail. The many Christians who go there include walkers who have been making their way from Renfrewshire in instalments to mark the 850th anniversary of Paisley Abbey. They will arrive on 29 June. The Trust has now launched a public appeal and online petition. One of the signatories, Professor Gordon Maxwell, said: "Whithorn is one of the most important places in the early history of Scottish Christianity (on a par with Iona and St Andrews) and, as recent excavations have shown, a crucial piece of evidence in the demonstration of the complexity of the origins of the Scottish nation." Visit whithorntrust.blogspot.co.uk for updates and links to the petition and appeal. MORE NEWS AT
Also in this issue . . . Opening a world of self-understanding Feeding hungry neighbours Peaceworker talks of Mid-East experience Finding hidden talent after 50 Scots join pilgrimage walk in Sweden used it to help revive folk singing in his homeland. The system of music education he went on to develop is at the forefront of today's early-years music education and used in the National Youth choir of Scotland's training programme. It was a wonderful course and I learned a lot in five days, meeting many enthusiasts and experts. I came back feeling more confident and with dozens of child-friendly songs from one of the course experts, Sue Hollingworth. Sue runs the Scunthorpe Co-operative children's choir which numbers 200 souls! Its policy is non-audition and no child is ever turned away. With spadefuls of useful advice, loads of great music and rector Scott Robertson's blessing, we are now moving forward with our own plan to have a week-long children's music club at St Margaret's in July (Monday 1st – Friday 5th) for two hours each morning. During June we hope to arrange visits to a few local primary schools to give them information and hold workshops with fun warm-up techniques, round-singing and games based on music and rhythm. We will include an email address in our handouts for parents to register interest so we can estimate numbers, which must be limited according to the number of volunteer supervisors. Members of St Margaret's and sister churches are welcome to bring children who are younger than the suggested age range (Primary 4–7) as long as carers can stay on to look after them. In true St Margaret's fashion, after a short announcement at the Sunday service on 28 April, we soon had enough goodwill to cover the likelihood of 20–30 children rolling up, but it is tight and we would be struggling if one or more of our team were taken ill. I can be contacted on 0141 585 7894 or firstname.lastname@example.com. DIOCESAN NEWS – 1
Piskies join food-bank outreach ALL Saints Jordanhill has agreed to partner with a Vineyard church to support a food bank serving north west Glasgow. The Storehouse is located less than a mile from All Saints in Linden Street, Anniesland. It's open every Saturday morning to give packages of food and toiletries to around 35 recipients referred by churches, charities and statutory agencies. Many have had their benefits cut – sometimes only temporarily, but the family still needs to be fed. Some are asylum-seekers with no income whatsoever. Others simply can't cope. The service is an outreach by Glasgow Westend Vineyard, which meets in Notre Dame secondary school. Westend Vineyard established Storehouse in 2011 as part of its social ministry. Peter Fowler, the compassion pastor at Vineyard, told The Herald last December: "When we first started, we weren't entirely sure how great the need was. When we did open, we really realised there was a huge need that was hidden beneath the surface.
"The aim is not to make people dependent on us, but to help them to break the cycle of poverty, which has lots of different causes." Peter met the All Saints Vestry in February, impressing its members greatly with his explanations of the ministry's Biblical foundation and practical approach. He has since paid two more visits to the congregation. Both Vestry and congregation have welcomed the opportunity to engage ecumenically in a local social action outreach, and are making weekly contributions of food and toiletries.

Opening a world of self-understanding ST Cyprian's Lenzie is hosting a Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) basic workshop this month for anyone who would like to come along. The MBTI is a very simple personality indicator which opens up a world of self-understanding for those who take it. It is probably the most widely used indicator in both secular and Christian circles. The day includes looking at what the MBTI might say about us, how we live in and respond to the world around us, and helping us to understand more deeply our relationship with God. The workshop is on Saturday 15 June, 10am– 3.30pm, and will cost £15. Revd Les Ireland says: "If getting to Lenzie is not practical, then we are willing to come and run an MBTI workshop where you are." Call 0141 776 5866 for details or to book, or email Les at firstname.lastname@example.com. 2 – DIOCESAN NEWS
days a week for this purpose from noon to 3pm. It's a way to support the work of the new West Dunbartonshire Community Foodshare (WDCF), an initiative formed this year by local charities at the prompting of the Citizens' Advice Bureau. WDCF's first public event saw 40 volunteers handing out leaflets and packing bags at Sainsbury's in Drumchapel at the end of March. They raised £800, filled 11 trolleys with food donated by customers and staff, and received £250 in store vouchers.
ROON Churches Together will operate a food-bank hub from Troon Old Parish Church Halls. At St Ninian's, Piskies will collect items for it on the first Sunday of every month. It is proposed that the hub will be open Tuesdays and Fridays, 12noon– 3pm, from 25 June. South Ayrshire Foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust's UK-wide food-bank network. Donated items go to a warehouse in Prestwick to be packed into emergency packs which are then distributed to the local hubs.
Peaceworker speaks about Middle-East experience PEACEWORKER Florence Germain will give a talk at the Ayrshire Regional Council's meeting on Tuesday 11 June, 7.30pm. Florence volunteered for three months last year as a human-rights observer on the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI). The programme brings internationals to the West Bank to experience life under occupation. Ecumenical Accompaniers (EAs) provide protective presence to vulnerable communities, monitor and report human-rights abuses, and support Palestinians and Israelis working together for peace. When they return home, EAs campaign for a just and peaceful resolution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict through an end to the occupation, respect for international law and implementation of UN resolutions. Wine and nibbles will be served. MORE NEWS AT
Reviewing growth and action plans MISSION Action Plan Facilitators gathered in Holy Trinity Ayr recently for their annual training session. As ever, they began by sharing and collecting some of the 'good news stories' of the past year. and found it heartening to hear about the increased energy, hope and missional motivation on the part of both congregations and Facilitators in this diocese. Good, too, to hear how Regional Councils are being 'revitalised' through the sharing of MAP news. There was agreement amongst those present that Mission Action Planning can provide focus for a charge's missional activity, encouragement when it has lain dormant and discernment when signs of hope and new life have been hitherto unnoticed. Facilitators are there to spot, name and highlight the positives and help charges build on these signs of God at work in their midst, however small; helping a charge do one thing and do it well can be immensely encouraging and a springboard to bigger steps next time. Our diocesan strategic intention for growth is an evolving process; there is always more to be done and improvements to be made. Facilitators thus worked together in Ayr to help finesse the way a charge moves from its first to its second MAP, and to think of ways in which knowledge of what the Diocesan Development Teams have to offer might be better integrated into the process. As several charges prepare to review their first year's MAP with the Bishop and the Dean in the next few weeks, there is a sense of the process becoming ever more securely rooted in the life of the diocese, and of an increasing number of good fruits being grown on the vine. Revd Canon Anne Tomlinson, Ministry Development Officer
Discovering hidden talents after 50 DISCOVERING new strengths and hidden talents is the aim of a new club at the Pisky church in Monklands. St Paul & St John the Evangelist now hosts Springwells Discovery Group, part of the national Discovery Award Scheme. The scheme offers challenges to individuals in the 50+ age range. Participants are encouraged to make choices about their own lives and to increase their contribution to life around them. The Award consists of meeting a range of new personal challenges at three levels: bronze, silver and gold. At each level, participants complete activities in the areas of: service in the community; hobby or interest; recreational pursuit; and journey of discovery. More and more people are accepting the Challenge, which offers an exciting and rewarding adventure for anyone aged 50 or over, regardless of state of health or even disability. There is something for everyone. Scotland's oldest Discoverer is over 80. The Springwells group meets on the third Wednesday of the month at 2.30pm. You can find out more about the Discovery Award Scheme at: discoveryawardscotland.co.uk.
Focusing on marriage SCOTTISH Marriage Care, an independent relationship support charity, works to strengthen and improve relationships and family life across Scotland by means of counselling services, relationship workshops in schools, peer education projects, a phone helpline and relationship MOTs. Among its developmental tools is a marriage preparation course entitled FOCCUS (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study). An inventory with 156 basic questions about marriage helps couples to learn more about themselves and their unique relationship before entering into a committed partnership. The inventory highlights areas that are currently not being discussed. As a discussion instrument, it can improve communication and conflict-management skills. The couple is aided in this work by a facilitator who offers them appropriate and targeted discussion and educational support. During the first meeting with the FOCCUS facilitator, the couple individually complete the questionnaire. A week or so later they return for individual feedback. The inventory provides content and process aims to tailor marriage preparation to the needs of an individual couple and those working with them. It would be a useful adjunct to the marriage preparation offered by clergy. If you would like to know more about SMC, contact FOCCUS manager Adam Pinner: email@example.com.

When we started selling white ergonomic office desks in 2016, little did we know how popular they would become with both new and existing customers. We started out selling five different models, but quickly realised that by far our most popular model was the Maestro 25 PL ergonomic desk from Dams.
This has become a best-seller for us, and out-sold the other white ergonomic desks that we actually decided to stop selling any rival models and purely focus on selling this Maestro model. But why? Well, if you are looking for reviews of white ergonomic office desks, we truly believe that there's only one option you should consider buying.
Read on to find out more about the Dams Maestro 25 PL (panel leg) ergonomic desk, and reasons why you should buy it today. To see the latest prices on this model please click here.
Maestro 25 PL White Ergonomic Office Desk Review
First things first, and it's important to put this out there, but when you buy from us you are guaranteed to be buying at the lowest possible cheapest price online. The reason we are so confident in this promise is because we price check the competition every week.
If we see anyone selling white ergonomic office desks cheaper than us then we immediately react and drop our own prices. When you combine that with our free delivery to mainland UK business addresses, you will always get the cheapest deals on high quality white office furniture when shopping with Kima.
Now in terms of why this white ergonomic desk from the Dams Maestro range has become so popular, much of it will be down to the variations in size that you can buy. As is stands today we have three different size variations, meaning you can choose your width when ordering online.
Because this is an ergonomic corner desk, it's also possible to opt for either a left hand or right hand orientation depending on which side you want the main curve to appear. It's also worth noting that we also offer different colour versions too apart from white (beech, maple, oak, and walnut – click here)
As with all Dams Maestro desks, this model comes with a long-term manufacturer warranty of ten years. There are not many retailers who will give you that length of guarantee on office furniture, for understandable reasons… but so confident are Dams in the quality that this long-term guarantee comes as standard.
The desk itself, and how it has been designed and manufactured is why that confidence is there. It's developed using a 25mm melamine work-top that can withstand a lot of punishment as well as being stain-resistant and heat-resistant; essential features for the modern office I am sure you will agree.
In terms of the look and feel, the white colour offers a clean and contemporary looking design that perfectly complements modern offices. With silver coloured legs, it's a great looking office desk as you can see from the accompanying images we have added to this review of the Dams Maestro 25 PL ergonomic white desk.
Order Online Today to Contact for Bulk Discounts
If you would like to order then please do. If you choose free delivery then your items will be shipped to your premises within 7 business working days. If you require a quicker delivery then please contact us for a next day delivery quote.

Woodham Middle School • Escambia County School District • Pensacola, Florida
Students are hungry for learning that matters, which is why some of the best learning projects set out to make a dent in the universe. That dent might be big or small, but knowing their projects are making a difference in the world is great motivation for students to push themselves toward deeper learning. Adding twists, novelty, and variety to the project can make the whole experience irresistible!
Tony uses Mentimeter.com to conduct polls and create live word clouds. You can use it too!
Let students own the task and put their personal spin on it.
Justin Bell's students created a comical version of Romeo and Juliet Act 3. See more of Justin's students' tech projects.
Want to make green screen videos? Check out DoInk Green Screen or Touchcast Studio for iOS.
Ownership in empowering! Having psychological ownership over the project can increase feelings of responsibility, attachment, accountability, and confidence.
The above video was made using Adobe Spark Video (web-based and iPad app).
Psychological Ownership Causes
- control
- intimate knowledge
- time and energy
Psychological Ownership Positive Outcomes
- responsibility
- attachment
- accountability
- confidence
The Ikea Effect is the name for the psychological phenomenon that occurs when consumers place a disproportionately high value on products they partially created. Researchers found that when people use their own labor to construct a particular product, they value it more than if they didn't put any effort into its creation.
Take advantage of the Ikea Effect, and let students create their own media as part of a project. Examples include a butterfly video by kindergarteners, The Respiratory System iBook by a fourth grader, the Chow Checker app by middle schoolers.
Increase ownership by giving students choices in the content of their projects, the process the use to create them, and their end productions' final forms.
"When we choose for ourselves, we are far more committed to the outcome–by a factor of five to one." Harvard Business Review
"If you assign a project and get back 30 of the exact same thing, that's not a project, that's a recipe." Chris Lehmann
It's good to a have choices in the apps students use to create projects because they often disappear, become costly, or drastically change. Keep in mind Adam Bellow's saying: "Date the tool and marry and ability."
Some Media Making Tools include Snapguide.com, MySimpleshow.com, and Spark.Adobe.com. Find more tools in the Show What You Know infographic.
Steve Jobs had the mantra, "Let's make a dent in the universe." He was on a mission to change the world. Some of the best projects set out to make a dent. The dent might be big or small, but at least the project has made a difference in the universe, and given students purpose beyond doing the project as just another graded assignment.
Projects can make a difference by...
- educating others
- solving a problem
- calling people to action
- building something useful
- planning an event
- raising money for a purpose
- recognizing or inspiring others
- designing a better way to do something

Rushton Hurley makes the observation, "If students are sharing their work with the world, they want it to be good. It you're just sharing it with you, they just want it to be good enough." With websites and social media, students certainly have the ability to reach a potentially global audience. Knowing they can reach people worldwide with their projects, learners will want to make those productions W.O.W. (Worthy of the World).
Second graders at Willowdale Elementary School created an audio podcast about respect. It's one of dozens of episodes that seek to inform an audience on the web and in iTunes. The podcast's tagline is "Radio for Kids, by Kids." Radio WillowWeb used GarageBand for audio recording, but there are lots of alternatives like online-voice-recorder.com, soundation.com, soundtrap.com, and twistedwave.com.
Book and product reviews have an audience–other potential readers and buyers. Consider having students write reviews for Amazon.com.
Each day one student in Tony Vincent's fifth grade is designated at the roving reporter (or class scribe). His or her job is to write about the learning that happens that day. The reporter takes photos throughout the day and selects a few to include with the article. Reviewing photos can also help the reporter decide what to write about. Probably the best way to publish these article are on a blog. Tony didn't have a blog, but he did publish the articles on The Daily Planet.
Create elegant webpages for an audience using Adobe Spark Page (iPad & web)) or Office Sway (all platforms). Read about Shelli Thele's Revolutionary War project that uses Adobe Spark Page, and then read Tony's post about this awesome app. Check out this collection of Office Sway projects by students.
Tag Twitter posts with student projects with #comments4kids so that students can get feedback on what they shared.
A driving question captures the heart of the project by providing purpose using clear and compelling language. With so many different flavors of project based learning (including problem based learning, challenge based learning, student centered learning, exploration, student driven inquiry, and authentic learning), it's not surprising that we have a variety of other terms for a question or statement that is the project's driving force. These terms include essential question, challenge, prime question, WILD HOG question, focus question, and smart question. I'll stick with driving question, but do know that sometimes the driving question is not interrogative. It might be a statement, but I'll still refer to is as a question.
Driving questions pose simply stated real world dilemmas. They pose predicaments that students find interesting and actually want to answer. The question drives students to discuss, inquire, and investigate the topic. It should push them toward a production or solution. In the process of investigating the question and sharing their answers, students learn important content and skills.
Types of Questions
There's an art to developing driving questions, because there isn't a specific formula you must follow. Though, you can find some examples and structures to help you out. Below are some types of driving questions. Maybe some of these will be the spark that inspires you write your next driving question.
📐 Solve a Problem: There's a real-world predicament with multiple solutions.
- How can we stop phantom traffic jams?
- How can we beautify the vacant lot across the street for $200?
- What's the best way to stop the flu at our school?
- Design a better lunch menu for our school.
- Design a safe and sturdy bridge to replace one in our city.
🎓 Educational: The purpose of the project is to teach others.
- How can we teach second graders about helpful insects.
- Create a campaign to teach senior citizens how to use an iPad.
- What do the students at our school need to know about being respectful?
👍 Convince Others: Students persuade a specified audience to do something or change their opinions.
- Create a public service announcement (PSA) that persuades teens to drink more water.
- Drive yourself to define a question and then Prove It to your classmates.
- Convince grocery shoppers to return their shopping carts.
- How can we convince our principal that we should have a party in December?
🌏 Broad Theme: The project tackles big ideas.
- What does it mean to read?
- How does conflict lead to change?
- How does math influence art?
- How do writers persuade others?
- How are good and evil depicted in different cultures?
💬 Opinion: Students need to consider all sides of an issue in order to form and justify their opinions.
- Should pets be allowed to attend class?
- Why has a woman never been a U.S. president?
- What makes a good astronaut?
🚥 Divergent: Students make predictions about alternative timelines and scenarios.
- What if Rosa Parks gave up her seat?
- What if the world ran out of oil tomorrow?
- How might your city change if the climate became an average of 10°F warmer?
- What if the USA switched to the metric system?
🚀 Scenario-Based: Students take on a fictional role with a mission to accomplish.
- You're a NASA engineer, and you are in charge of building a moon base. What are the ten most important things to include and why?
- Imagine that you are King George. What would you have done differently to keep American part of England?
- You are the CEO of a company that is designing a new social media app. Present a business plan to your investors that explains how your company will make money.
- You've been hired to revamp your local shopping mall. Come up with a plan to increase business.
- How would you spend $1,000,000 to help your community?
🚧 Scaffolded Around Framing Words: BIE has a tool to help you develop driving questions called a Tubric. It provides possible framing words, actions, audience, and purpose. If you'd rather not take the time to construct a tube, you could use Rhoni McFarlane's Developing Inquiry Questions chart, Amy Mayer's Scaffold for Writing a Driving Question, or TeachThought's PBL Cheat Sheet.
- How can I create a campaign to reduce bullying in my school? (from Rhoni McFarlane)
- How can we find a solution to reduce the litter in our school permanently? (also from Rhoni McFarlane)
- How can we as first graders create geocaching sites to promote physical fitness in our neighborhood? (from Washington Discovery Academy)
Refining the Question
Driving questions are rarely perfect after the first draft. There are usually ways you can make them better. Talking a driving question over with colleagues, asking on social media, and putting it past your students can help you get insight into how well the question will drive a project.
A driving question shouldn't sound like a question students would find on a test. Instead of "Describe what organisms need to survive," the question could be "What if we had a chicken house at our school?" And, "Why did the American colonists declare war with England?" could be reworked into, "How could you have convinced American colonists to support independence using today's technology?" Making your question appealing to students is probably the most difficult part of crafting a question. Keep in mind, a question that is captivating to you might not be to your students.
Below is a checklist to help you refine your question. You might not be able to check off all the items, but the more the merrier!
👌 The question is appealing to students.
🗜 The question is concise.

Technology can be helpful throughout a project, whether students use iPads, Chromebooks, Android tablets, laptops, or desktops. Tony Vincent has written a primer for each of the three major components of project based learning. He shares useful websites and apps as he tells you about his take on project based learning. They are Crafting Questions That Drive Projects, Investigating Authentic Questions, and Creating Products to Show and Share Learning.
Crafting Questions That Drive Projects
Projects begin with a driving question–an open-ended question that sets the stage for the project by generating interest and curiosity. It captures the heart of the project by providing purpose using clear and compelling language.
Investigating Authentic Questions
In project based learning students answer a driving question. That question is so deep that it leads students to ask more and more questions. I have lots of strategies and tips for investigating answers to those questions.
Creating Products to Show and Share Learning
Let's take a look at sample projects and some of the hottest apps for showing, explaining, and retelling. These tools can turn students into teachers and are great for sharing their answers to a project's driving question.

Capture forever a piece of Ireland's past with this beautiful Irish Post Boxes print.
The green post box, in various shapes and sizes, is a familiar sight on city streets and country roads throughout Ireland. Introduced well over 150 years ago by the novelist, Anthony Trollope, who worked for the Post Office in Ireland for several years, the letter box is an instantly recognised symbol of the Post Office. The intention was to make it easier for people to post their letters and make it unnecessary for them to have to wait for a post office to open. The first boxes appeared on the streets of cities like Dublin, Belfast and Cork over 150 years ago and were subsequently introduced elsewhere. The big pillar boxes were soon joined by smaller boxes that fitted into walls and later by lamp boxes which were cheaper to make and could be attached to lamp and telegraph poles.
One particularly attractive box, the hexagonal-sided Penfold, caused complaints when it was introduced as letters could occasionally get stuck at the edges. The classic cylindrical shape did away with these problems, however. A great many old post boxes remain in use today and they bring an elegance to their localities that is often much appreciated. Post boxes, of course, are first and foremost functional and they form a vital part of Post Office infrastructure. Today's boxes – less ornate than some of their predecessors perhaps – are designed with a firm eye on the efficient and functional operation of the postal business and their presence represents a continuing tradition of faithful service to Irish people.

Grounded Eagle Kennedy to undergo scans today
The immediate playing future of marquee West Coast forward Josh Kennedy hinges on the result of a scan today, after he suffered a painful calf injury in yesterday's eight-point loss to GWS at Domain Stadium.
Kennedy heard a pop in his right calf and collapsed to the turf in pain after injuring himself early in the final quarter.
The two-time Coleman medallist will undergo scans to determine the extent of the damage, with the Eagles hoping the injury isn't too serious.
Eagles coach Adam Simpson says he will consider switching Jeremy McGovern from defence into attack to cover the loss of Kennedy.
Simpson is confident both Luke Shuey (calf) and Mark LeCras (hip) will return for Saturday's clash with Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.
Kennedy has booted at least 60 goals in the past four seasons, and he will be hard to replace while he's sidelined.
McGovern has proven to be a capable goalkicker when thrown up forward.
But the 2016 All-Australian has become a key cog in defence, and Simpson is reluctant to move him away from there.
Another option up Simpson's sleeve is playing Drew Petrie as a permanent forward.
Petrie was recruited to West Coast as a back-up ruck option, but the 34-year-old spent the majority of time in attack during his glittering career with North Melbourne.
Simpson said he will weigh up his options during the week before finalising a plan.
Two losses on the trot has seen West Coast (6-4) slip to sixth spot, but Simpson said there were some positive signs in the win over GWS.

Battling congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy can be tiring and painful. If you've been diagnosed with either of these conditions, you have a good reason to consider our non-invasive Stem Cell Therapy treatment.
CHF and cardiomyopathy both refer to the pumping power of your heart muscles. The heart is made up of four chambers – two atria in the upper half, and two ventricles in the lower half. The atria receive blood from the rest of your body while the ventricles plump blood to your organs and tissues.
CHF refers to the heart's inability to pump efficiently due to a fluid buildup around the heart, and cardiomyopathy refers to the thickening or enlargement of the heart muscle. Both conditions make it difficult for the heart to pump blood and can lead to fluid buildup in the lungs, ankles, feet, legs and abdomen.
There are habits that you can cut to lower your risk of CHF and cardiomyopathy; try:
I couldn't walk through the Seattle airport, it's a long walk between terminals and I had to ask for wheelchair assistance and that was pretty traumatic for me. What is wrong with me that I can'e even walk that distance. So just to be able to move is an incredible thing. I had the injection directly in my knee, the injection is not a big deal. I think after a couple of months I could see enough improvement that I thought it would be helpful to do this again simply because I was having hip pain and neck pain also on that right side. So it was just really a good choice for me and I am so glad I did, it's really made a difference. I would definitely recommend it.
"What a difference the treatment made in 4 weeks! Things that we used to enjoy, we can do again. Balance is better, can walk better – with more energy, vitality, spunk and enthusiasm. We both have so much more freedom and movement without joints hurting and the intense pain. It's a new life!"

Below is the full text of Israel's Ambassador to Sweden Isaac Bachman's speech at yesterday's 68th Independence Day of the State of Israel event organized by the Embassy of Israel in Sweden:
Government officials, Excellencies, Ambassadors and members of the Diplomatic Corps, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends.
Thank you all for coming and celebrating with us, the 68th Independence Day of the State of Israel – the one and only Democracy in the Middle East, and the continuous home and shelter for the Jewish people!
What a year it´s been!
I repeat; What a year it´s been!
Dear and esteemed friends.
The things that I am about to present to you are maybe not exactly what you would have been lead to expect by such an opening remark. And believe me, my intention is not to beautify things or paint a false picture of reality. However, let me start with some amazing achievements, which prompted my initial remark.
Because in truth, it has been a year of great advancement of Swedish-Israeli relations in many of the fields where both of our nations are at the very forefront and have so much to gain from mutual cooperation.
It has been a year of intensive and constructive contacts indeed. Let me just cite a few of our bilateral visits between Sweden and Israel:
• Sweden's Deputy Speaker Esabelle Dingizian
• a delegation from the Swedish Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee
• an important delegation of MP:s from the 4 Alliance parties
• a visit by Secretary of State Oscar Stenström and a delegation from the Ministry of Enterprise
• a visit by Ann Linde, State Secretary in the Ministry of Justice
• a visit to Israel by the Swedish National Police Commissioner
• a visit of an important delegation from the Royal Academy of War Sciences
• a large Swedish delegation attending the Pride Parade in Tel Aviv. We were told that the Swedish flag was one of the most common flags at the Parade!
Last week, we hosted the Israeli delegation to the Eurovision Song Contest in a very successful visit – an important opportunity to promote all that Israel has to offer in the fields of music and entertainment. This included a special performance by the 1998 winner of the Eurovision, Dana International.
Concerning our economic ties, we had a number of big delegations from Sweden visiting Israel, including – to mention only a few of the giants: Volvo, Combi Tech, Tele 2, and Ericsson.
As a result of the extremely successful Volvo visit to Israel, we had 3 very senior Israeli business delegations arriving in Sweden to attend conferences on cyber security and smart cities, initiated and expertly organized by Volvo.
In the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona – known as the world´s No 1 telecom fair – there were a staggering 150 bilateral business meetings between Swedish and Israeli companies.
In the coming autumn, State Secretary Oscar Stenström from the Ministry of Enterprise will head a big business delegation to Israel. This will be his second visit in little over a year.
Cultural cooperation is also flourishing – and in the fields of jazz and dance it is particularly intense. World famous Israeli jazz musicians Avishai Cohen and Esther Rada both visited Sweden last year – and the famous Batsheva Dance Company will be in Sweden on tour twice this year. The Stockholm Israeli Film Festival attracted large numbers of moviegoers – and many more examples could be cited.
From Israel, we are very happy to have with us today a high-level delegation from the MFA in Jerusalem which has arrived in Stockholm for intensive bilateral political dialogue between our two Foreign Ministries. (Ambassador Aviv Shiron, Deputy Director General, European Affairs; Ambassador Amira Arnon, Director, Northern Europe Department)
Also, in two weeks' time, the Sweden –Israel friendship association of the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, will arrive in Stockholm for a much anticipated visit.
Indeed, as you will have noticed, the list is comprised of many visits – and I could go on…!
I have mentioned all these examples as the best demonstration of how the Swedish-Israeli relationship is SO MUCH more than our political differences;
The relationship is deep;
It benefits both countries;
And much of it is thanks to the people in this room,
THANK YOU and let us all keep up the good work!
With all of the above said, there is no hiding the fact that our two governments have very different views on the situation in the Middle East. In all the countries surrounding Israel, human rights practices are beyond terrible.
But yet Israel – the only democracy in the region and the only country engaged in constant self-defense – is the most criticized in Sweden. Sweden is very explicit with its 'To do' and 'Not to do' lists – of expectations and demands from Israel. Those very same expectations are expressed publicly time and again; and by the highest Swedish officials.
If this is indeed a token of friendship as repeatedly claimed, we would hope for the same friendship to be shown to the Palestinians, with a list of publicly expressed demands to them, as it is done with us. Indeed, as one of the major international donors to the Palestinians, Sweden has great potential leverage over the incitement and education for hatred under the Palestinian Authority.
Norway has already revised its aid to the Palestinian Authority along those lines, and recently a majority in the Swedish Parliament passed a resolution calling the government to;
And I quote: "Sweden must place demands on the Palestinian Authority" since, and I quote again:
"Incitement to violence, indoctrination and hate propaganda has become the norm."
We do welcome these expressions of concern, and we hope and expect for the Swedish government to follow the Norwegian approach, and the Swedish Parliament's decision.
Another issue of great concern is the growing number of anti-Semitic incidents in Sweden. We hope that the serious Swedish engagement with this issue will continue and will lead to tangible and concrete results in the near future.
We welcome the visit to Israel in two weeks' time by a delegation from the Living History Forum and SKMA (Swedish Committee against Anti-Semitism) and with the government's recently nominated special envoy on anti-Semitism and racism, by the Swedish MFA.
It would be further appreciated if Sweden, as a sister democracy to Israel, would more clearly and frequently express its solidarity, in the face of the horrendous terrorism which has claimed the lives of so many innocent Israeli civilians. Such expectations from Sweden become even more natural, since Sweden is itself, as we speak, engaged in preparing to meet – G-d forbid! – possible terror attacks in the future.
The terrorism that Israel has faced on a daily basis since September 2015, sometimes on the scale of the Trollhättan tragedy, several times a day, has either been downplayed or ignored in Sweden. Reservations and accusations for the Israeli self-defense were voiced out loud publically, while at the same time we have not heard government officials loudly and clearly condemn "PALESTINIAN TERRORISM."
Government officials should not shy away from using these two words – Palestinian terrorism – together as if they would be the same poles of a magnet and could never be next to each other; Palestinian terrorism HAS to be called in Sweden for what it is – PALESTINIAN TERRORISM!
Israel is a country where ethnic and religious minorities are not only protected but supported, growing, and flourishing.
In fact, Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian population has increased over the past 50 years! Christian Arabs in Israel are actually more prosperous and successful than the Jewish population in many fields, including education!
Also the Muslims in Israel are vastly better off than elsewhere in the Middle East. They live longer, have higher incomes, are more educated, have lower infant mortality rates, have full democratic rights; and they are represented in every sphere of life including, the Parliament and the Supreme Court.
Israel values and respects ethnic minorities, religious freedom, freedom of speech, equality & LGBT rights, and all of the values that an open, diverse, and prosperous democracy cherishes –
We are also very happy to have with us today representatives of a number of our brother minorities in the Middle East, including a large delegation from the Assyrian National Association. We thank you all for your friendship and support!
With the difficulties that we face, however, there is also much cause for optimism and over the last year we have seen many new beginnings and new opportunities. We can see how the media in Sweden, in many cases, is showing an altogether new openness to the Israeli perspectives.
Last year I published articles or was interviewed in the Swedish media over 30 times – an unprecedented number compared to previous years. All this became possible thanks to the hard work of many good friends and contacts here present – and of course the Embassy staff.
My own Facebook page has grown from maybe a thousand friends to almost 6,000 friends and followers. And a couple of months ago the Embassy's Facebook page – "Israel i Sverige" –
hit an all-time record and over the course of only one week was read by
There is obviously a growing knowledge, both in the public and in official circles, of the complexities characterizing the Middle East. The many achievements of Israel in science, innovation, economy, agriculture, but also as an open society, a vibrant democracy and a humanitarian actor in the world – are increasingly getting the attention they deserve in Sweden too.
Before one final thought – on this joyous occasion, let me invite you all – with or without a glass in your hand – to join me in a toast for the prosperity of the State of Israel and the Kingdom of Sweden,
and the bilateral ties between our two nations
And finally; let me take this opportunity to thank all of you, esteemed friends and counterparts, present here today, for your much appreciated cooperation and friendship.

Re: Cornelius HOWARD, Anne Arundel Co, MD
In reply to:
Cornelius HOWARD, Anne Arundel Co, MD
Ken Delaney 1/03/06
Cornelius HOWARD would have been born in VA. He received a bequest from the will of Richard HALL before the family moved to MD.
There is no evidence that anyone has ever provided of Edward DORSEY having a daughter named Ann(e). Some researchers (as long as about 70 years ago) tried to make Ann, the wife of Nicholas GREENBERRY, a daughter of Edward DORSEY, but there is nothing to support that. This is especially true, in that Nicholas GREENBERRY arrived in MD from England in 1674 with his wife Ann, and the family of Edward DORSEY had been in colonies for 30 years. Lately, I have seen a few people listing that Edward DORSEY had a daughter Anne who married Cornelius HOWARD. This appears to be an Internet thing, and again, there is no evidence of Edward DORSEY having a daughter named Ann, or of Cornelius HOWARD having a wife named Ann. See:
for information on the family of Edward DORSEY.
As for the thought Elizabeth, wife of Cornelius HOWARD was a GORSUCH, that was started by Harry Wright Newman in *Anne Arundel Gentry,* Volume II. He retracted that in Volume III. The most likely possibility is that she MAY have been a TODD, but that is uncertain. This whole subject was discussed on the Rootseb HOWARD mail list in 2003. Go to:
and search the HOWARD list for GORSUCH and TODD in 2003. You may also find references in other years.
Yes, those 5 are the children of Cornelius HOWARD. Some people have tried to make Lois, wife of Adam SHIPLEY a daughter, but there is nothing to support that.
In 1698, Richard SHIPLEY for love and affection towards his younger brothers gave them land. To his brother Adam he gave 100 acres where their mother Lois SHIPLEY lived, part of a tract called *Howard's and Porter's Range.* [Anne Arundel land records 1H1:80]
The 1707 rent rolls listed that the 100 acres of *Howard's and Porter's Range* owned by Adam SHIPLEY was part of the the tract originally patented by Cornelius HOWARD and Peter PORTER.
Apparently what happened, was that since someone couldn't find a deed of the SHIPLEYs buying the land, they speculated that it may have been inherited, and that Lois may have been a HOWARD. Someone else came along and dropped the speculation, stating it as fact she was a HOWARD. The progression was that someone then decided she must be the daughter of Cornelius HOWARD.
Many early Anne Arundel deeds were burned in a courthouse fire, which is why they did not find a deed. The details of how Adam SHIPLEY acquired the land are, though, contained in a HOWARD deed that after the fire was rerecorded at the request of Ruth HOWARD, widow of Philip HOWARD.
On 19 Jan. 1687 Cornelius HOWARD, son and heir of Cornelius HOWARD conveyed 500 acres of *Howard and Porters Range* to Philip HOWARD. It was stated that the parcel by survivorship descended from Peter PORTER to Cornelius HOWARD, and that Cornelius HOWARD had sold 150 acres to Lancelott TODD, and sold 100 acres to Addam SHIPLEY. [AALR 1H1:243]
So, although the deed from Cornelius HOWARD to Adam SHIPLEY was not rerecorded, this shows how he acquired the tract. It was not by inheritance through his wife Lois, but by a simple sale. Cornelius HOWARD died in 1680, and did not name a daughter Lois in his will. [Maryland wills 2:107-110]
