A window into the ancestors of anyone of Scot-Irish descent...
In 1608, William Neely left Wigtownshire, Scotland for Ulster. He was looking for his place in the world but what he found was the adventure of a lifetime.
Surrounded by powerful clans that had ruled Ulster for more than a thousand years, he came to know some of the most mighty chieftains of the time, including the formidable Cahir O'Doherty, who launched O'Doherty's Rebellion with the burning of Derry and the killing of Sir George Paulet of His Majesty King James' service. It would put in motion a chain of events that would transform Ireland and it would mark Cahir O'Doherty as the Last Gaelic Irish King in Ireland.
Cahir O'Doherty became the Lord of Inishowen as a teen after the death of his father. Known as The Queen's O'Doherty due to his loyalty to Sir Henry Docwra and the English Crown, he saved his clan lands on the Inishowen Peninsula and his people from the fate that had befallen other Irish clans.
Peace would be short-lived, however, when Henry Docwra, Governor of Derry, was replaced by the ruthless Sir George Paulet, who ushered in a new wave of hatred for the Gaelic Irish. It would all come to a head on one fateful night when O'Doherty took the commander at Culmore Fort hostage along with his wife and son. Gaining access to the weapons at Culmore Fort, he led an invasion of Derry, burning the village to the ground. It would touch off a wave of events that would unite the major clans of Ulster, leading to a bombardment of Burt Castle, a counterattack in the Inishowen Peninsula and the burning of Ulster; a major battle at Kilmacrenan and finally a siege at Tory Island.
And when O'Doherty's Rebellion was complete, it would usher in the age of The Plantation and mass immigration of Lowland Scots, encouraged by King James I to transform all of Ulster.

Checkmate - P.M. Terrell
Before the 12th century, Ireland had been divided into a number of kingdoms. Each kingdom had existed for centuries, sometimes warring with neighboring kingdoms and at other times becoming their allies. All of that was to change when the Normans invaded Ireland in the late 12th century, setting off centuries of conflict between Ireland and England, their neighbor to the east.
In 1588, Philip II of Spain dispatched 130 ships in a failed effort to invade England. Having been defeated at the Battle of Gravelines, the Spanish ships attempted to return home by taking a route around western Ireland when they were caught by a massive storm, blown off course and onto Ireland's western coast. Queen Elizabeth I believed the Spaniards were attempting to occupy Ireland and she sent a substantial force to stop the invasion. With rumors that Spain was sending additional troops to assist Ulster's Hugh O'Neill in driving out the English, Queen Elizabeth declared Ireland as an English colony.
Although a peace treaty was signed between England and Spain in 1604, England—now ruled by King James I—instituted a policy in which Scottish Lowlanders and English citizens were granted lands seized from the native Irish. Although this had been done in some instances dating back to the 12th century, the idea was to populate the island with Protestants loyal to the English Crown by establishing Plantations and displacing Irish citizens. Scottish Highlanders were forbidden from participating because they had caused as many problems for England as the Irish.
When I began this series, I planned to write about my Neely ancestors. However, my odyssey would take me into a pivotal era that transformed Ireland. By 1608 when William Neely, only 18 years old, joined Sir William Stewart of Wigtownshire to immigrate to Ulster, an uneasy peace had settled over Ireland; within months it would erupt into O'Doherty's Rebellion, led by the last Gaelic Irish King of Ireland, Cahir O'Doherty. I could not tell the story of William Neely without also telling the stories of Cahir O'Doherty, Mary Preston O'Doherty, Niall Garbh O'Donnell, Phelim MacDavitt, Sir George Paulet, Sir Henry Hart, Frances Hart, Sir William Stewart and many others that would change the course of Irish history, for their lives were to intersect into deadly confrontation in the spring and summer of 1608.
In many ways, the story of William Neely is the story of every ancestor to those of Scot-Irish descent, for they all traveled the same path from the Lowlands of Scotland to the Ulster province of Ireland, most between 1606 and 1652. If you are of Scot-Irish descent, this is part of your story…
1608, Wigtownshire, Scotland
The winds were fervent across the Irish Sea, pushing the waves into the shoreline with uncharacteristic intensity, stopped only by the jagged rock below before misting William Neely. He stood alone atop the cliff, his feet spread wide to withstand the gusts, his black hair caught as though a woman's fingers caressed them. He listened to the wail of the winds like so many sirens purring their song, their voices in unison, cajoling, luring, beguiling.
The final remnants of the sunset lingered on the water's surface, the horizon meeting in a blaze of orange that left him wondering where the sky ended and the sea began.
He heard tales of a land across the sea from his native Scotland; a land, though only twenty miles from where he stood, that was far different from the desolation that formed Wigtownshire. It was a land of a thousand shades of green, or so they said, of more grass than livestock could graze, a place where a man's eyes rested on beauty. On the rare clear day, he could barely make out a series of lumps on the distant horizon but try though he might, he could never quite make out the details, details that other men spoke about with awe and admiration.
He could not imagine such a place but surely the men he had encountered over the course of his eighteen years could not have fabricated a land that varied so little in the finest details, for men set years apart held the same tale. Someday, he would traverse those waters so his own hazel eyes could behold the splendor of which they spoke, though he didn't know how he would manage such a journey for surely it was nearly as impossible as reaching for the moon.
Wills thought he spotted the tall masts of a seafaring ship, but one couldn't be sure in the waning light. The vessels never ventured to this part of Scotland; though the land jutted out a fair distance from the rest of the country, it was said the serrated rocks below the water could split a ship in two and then finely chew the remains. No; they sailed a bit farther south to England, which was not far, or they ventured northward to a more hospitable part of Wigtownshire. For the most part, they visited the Lowlands where the land was flat and one could see for miles around, staying well away from the warring and suspicious Highlanders.
He shifted his feet as a particularly vicious gust seemed determined to set him on his seat. The ships were not the only thing that remained clear of this slice of his homeland. The rains did as well. Ah, he could see the storm clouds brewing over the sea, the white tuffs beginning to seethe with gray and black until the entire sky was dotted. And on occasion he could even see the torrents well out from shore like a wall of water falling where there was plenty of water to be had already. Then the clouds appeared to separate, some moving northward and some southward but always skirting around this peninsula as if warned away by some invisible force.
Do you not hear me, boy?
The voice jarred him out of his thoughts, forcing his gaze from the waning splendor to the starkness that lay behind him. Almost by instinct, he reached behind him to touch the pommel of the sword that rested against his back. As his father approached, he relaxed his grip but his body remained tensed.
Are you dreaming again? His father shouted to be heard above the rising winds. As he drew near, he reached out with a long, thin arm as if to box Wills' ear but his son's feet were swift and his hand sliced through the air instead.
The sun is gone and we've no time to waste, he continued in their native Gaelic, undaunted.
We've far to travel.
Wills grunted in reply and fell in line as they made their way along the shoreline, moving inward as the darkness swept in. Ahead of them, he could barely make out the silhouettes of his two brothers.
The four traveled silently, not wasting their collective energy on idle talk. Their attention was needed to maintain their balance across the rugged land. It seemed to transform beneath their feet like a living, breathing creature; the rocks that extended above the soil like fingers intent on tripping them up while the moss and the bog between the stone worked to suck them under.
Ah, to be sure the bog had lost a good bit of its power as the drought had dragged on year after year, but there it was, belching at his feet as if it was seething and writhing just beneath his worn boots. Perhaps it sensed in his slender body some semblance of moisture and it sought to drag him under and rob him of it, requiring it to stay alive.
The beautiful sunset upon which he had gazed was now but a memory, and the moon had not yet been able to escape the grasp of the clouds that extinguished whatever light the crescent might have offered. When he could, he glanced upward and tried to locate the stars that would guide them northeastward, eventually leaving the sea—but not his dreams—behind.
With a muted sun's warmth gone, the chill set into his bones. Like his father and brothers, he wore a threadbare shirt that had already been thinned with use by the time he had received it. His breeches were not much better and a good bit of skin was left exposed before his tatty leather boots warmed his calves. He could feel the ground through the wafer-thin soles and now as the skies grew darker he relied more on his feet to tell him whether he walked on rock or bog, dried-out grass or cushiony moss.
The land was laid out around them flat and barren, which was why they traveled at night under the protection of the darkness. One could travel for a day without encountering another soul, whether human or animal, and yet one could also see to the horizon in daylight, easily spotting someone's approach. The elders, of which were scant, told of a day in which Wigtownshire had been filled with forests, but when pressed, they would not or could not say whether they themselves had seen them or if they had only been told a myth with no connection at all to reality. Oh, and for certain there was wood furniture; the tiny home in which they lived had a table and chairs, and the house itself had a bit of wood holding together the mud and stone, but surely a forest would have had more wood than that. He didn't know since he had never seen one.
It was said that the soil was thin in these parts. His mother and sisters grew some herbs and if they managed to survive, they were used more for medicinal purposes than for food. Crops were impossible; complaints abounded that the land was too wet, too parched, too boggy or too rocky. They subsisted primarily on lamb. The creatures provided nearly everything they needed to survive, from their clothing to their blankets to every meal they devoured. And it was the lamb that had brought them into the darkness and on a journey that would last through the night; if they were lucky, they would spot their home at the end of their return as the sun rose the next morning.
Wills' thoughts eventually faded with the kind of numbness that sets in on a lengthy trek, enveloped in total silence for even the birds had fled to more hospitable terrain. The hours dragged on, marked only by the occasional grunt as a brother stubbed a toe on a particularly loathsome outcropping or another became bogged down in the muck. Eventually, their blankets came out; so thin the grime was part of the fabric holding it all together, but enough to wrap about their shoulders and torso, dropping downward in an anemic attempt to shield their legs from the bitter cold.
They moved with precision toward a distant neighbor until at last Wills' older brother James held up his hand. He stopped in his tracks, along with his brother Rory, while his father stealthily moved up beside James. Wills tried to follow the direction in which James pointed, narrowing his eyes in an attempt to focus more acutely on the landscape. And there in the distance, he spotted them: tiny, almost imperceptible figures moving. He might have missed it, had the land not been so bleak, so flat and so devoid of life. But now as he watched them, it was as if a paternal instinct rose within him.
Thus would begin the most dangerous moments of their mission. Like the others, he withdrew his sword from the tattered sheath and they each spread apart as they made their final approach. Unlike their hike, they traveled close to the ground, sprinting one moment and kneeling the next; there was not even the semblance of a bush behind which to hide.
An occasional bleat carried over the winds, echoing in the silence, but most of the sheep appeared to be sleeping or grazing. There were no dogs guarding them; there wasn't much point to it, since the bear and the fox had died out long before Wills had arrived on this earth; perhaps they too were only a myth like the tales of forests. Besides, dogs had to be fed and there was only occasionally enough sustenance for humans. The sheep were endured because the sheep kept them all alive.
They converged a short distance from the herd. They lay flat on their stomachs, their swords at the ready beside them.
How many did they steal from us? Wills' father Thomas asked.
Rory pointed to a small flock off to their left.
About that many.
Thomas turned to Wills.
You can count, boy; how many?
They stole ten.
And many are there? he asked, nodding his head toward the flock.
Wills narrowed his eyes further as he sought out the dingy white sheep in the gloom.
Then leave six. We came for what they stole and nothing more.
Ignoring the larger herd to their right and in front of them, they moved off to the left. They remained low to the ground until James gave the signal that there were no shepherds about. They drew themselves upright as they got nearer, fanning out once again to move beside and behind the flock.
Wills watched their behavior with an expert eye; he had been shepherding lambs from the time he could walk. They had acute hearing and were easily startled, which could cause them to bolt. They also had better eyesight than a man's, or so it was said, though they preferred to remain away from the shadows. But they were also easily led. It took identifying one of the flock's leaders, approaching them with the surety of a shepherd, and leading that one in the direction in which they needed to go. The others would follow. To be sure, it was easier with a dog, especially when the herd was large but this one was manageable with only two or three for each. The four of them had been needed more for the fight, should the thieves be about.
James gave the signal for them all to stop and they complied without hesitation. He kept his hand raised in the air as still as a statue, his head cocked. Wills instinctively bent his own head as if it would help focus his hearing. Somewhere in the distance, he heard the faint sounds of a man's voice.
His sword was still held at the ready; though James had signaled the absence of shepherds, it wouldn't be the first time they had been surprised. This back-and-forth had gone on for generations. The neighbors stole their sheep and they retrieved them. Then the neighbors stole them back plus a few more if they could find them, and so it went. With jobs as scarce as a tree, this was the way they eked out their living.
As he scanned the horizon, he thought at first that his eyes were playing tricks on him; for there, rising just off shore were three tall masts rising like spires. As the clouds shifted, the crescent moon peeked through with pinpoint precision, illuminating the ship as men toiled to bring down the sails. The occasional shouts had awakened distant neighbors and now the four men watched as the thieves left their small home and made their way away from them and toward the shoreline.
James signaled; now was the time. He moved in first and as the sheep began to panic, the others surrounded them, herding them into a smaller, tighter group preventing their escape. Every second counted now; one glance in their direction would bring the thieves with swords drawn and it would not end until blood was shed and one side retreated.
As the shouts from the ship grew louder, the herd was driven southward, the men running beside them with their torsos parallel to the ground, keeping their bodies no taller than the sheep, until they were out of sight.
Dawn was peeking over the distant horizon, the Lowland delta shrouded in heavy mists by the time the sheep were herded into a small open plain. It appeared otherworldly, Wills thought as he counted the sheep once more, their dingy white wool blending in so seamlessly with the mists that they appeared more like apparitions than living creatures. He caught his father out the corner of his eye, stooped and exhausted, trudging slowly in the direction of their tiny home. No doubt Wills' mother would be there awaiting his return with a bucket of water boiling over the hot heather they used as kindling in the fire pit, and a scoop of herbs with which to make a tea.
Wills, you watch the herd and I'll relieve you midday, Rory said. He was slightly taller than Wills and his hair was lighter; his mother's shade of deep brunette. His eyes were sharp and his jaw squared.
I will not be staying, Wills declared.
Is it on account of the ship? Rory asked, rolling his eyes.
It is. I'll be going back.
You would be going back all that way to take a second look at a ship. The statement was said with more than a little disdain.
I am.
Did you happen to notice the flag she flew? One eyebrow shot up.
I did. It would be an English ship, she is.
I do not understand you, William Neely. I wish for once you would plant your feet on the ground and take your head out of the clouds.
And what does it matter whose ship she is? Wills asked calmly. He waved his hand toward the south.
Not a half days' journey is all of England. Isn't it why we speak English as well as Gaelic?
Rory spat.
You cannot trust them. They would just as soon take all we have and leave us to die as long as our wretched, filthy bodies are not left on their doorstep.
Take all we have? And what is that, precisely?
Rory pointed toward the sheep.
The herd, for one. Our home for another.
Wills snorted.
Who knows whose sheep they are? I do not see any bearing our name. And as for the house, it does not belong to us. We are tenants there and any day the laird can order us gone, just as they have moved our neighbors in the past.
Ah, and who would that have been but the English? High and mighty, they are, in their fine, fancy carriages. They look at us as though we were muck, something less than human. If they hate us so, why is it that they don't leave us alone?
You know the answer to that. Men have fought for power and ownership for as long as they have walked the face of this earth as if he who owns the most will alone acquire the keys to the Gates of Heaven. Wills spotted someone moving through the mist just past his brother's shoulder. As Rory continued lambasting the English, he narrowed his eyes until his sister Elizabeth came into view. His tensed muscles relaxed as he watched her. Beth was a tiny thing, barely fifteen years old, a mere slip of a girl with long, straight brunette hair and vivid blue eyes. When she smiled, which she did frequently, her entire face lit from within. Now she carried a basket over her arm, no doubt looking for heather or perhaps a truffle or two, which on rare occasions lay hidden in the boggy soil amongst the withered remains of ancient roots.
And who will watch the sheep? Rory was asking, exasperated.
You know as well as I, no one will take them in the daylight. They will come in the night, as they always do.
Where are you going? Beth asked as she joined them.
We saw an English ship just north of here, Rory said before Wills had a chance to reply.
And now this dreamer thinks he can walk back there and take a look at it.
Oh, Rory, Beth said in a soft, lilting voice,
what harm can there be in that?
Father has warned him against it. He is to stay clear of the English—and clear of the Highlanders. And they will not be far from that ship, I guarantee it. And what if they conscript him into the King's service?
Wills chortled.
You do not like the Highlanders, either?
"You know I do not. We do not. They are heathens, barbarians."
He turned away and began walking northward along the same path he had taken through the night. He waved his hand in the air and called over his shoulder,
Tell Mother I will be back by dusk.
Oh, let me walk with you, Beth said, hurrying to catch up with him.
Just for a little way.
He didn't respond but he didn't object to her presence, either. Truth was, she was a calming influence; on him and on the whole family.
Tell me about the ship, Wills, she begged, pulling her plaid about her shoulders in an effort to fight the chill.
Is it like all the others?
I don't know, he answered.
It was dark and I did not get a good look at it.
Is it English, as Rory says?
Perhaps. Most likely. He stole a look at her out the corner of his eye. She was watching her steps, hopping from one moss to the next in order to avoid slipping into the softer bog.
There are English troops in the Highlands, he went on,
and the ships bring supplies to them.
And what are they doing in the Highlands? Beth asked.
Wills smiled. It was a conversation they had again and again, like a fairytale told to a child who knew the story by heart.
Well, he started,
it has been six years since the death of Queen Elizabeth of England. And Elizabeth's cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, had a son named James, who became the King of Scotland when he was just a wee lad of thirteen months.
Yes, Beth said,
James is the great-great-grandson of King Henry VII.
Very good, Wills commended.
Which is why, upon Elizabeth's death, James ascended to the throne of England. So now he is King of both Scotland and England, though the two have not been united. Insurrection has seen to that.
And, she added,
he is also the King of Ireland.
He is at that.
So why do the Highlanders continue to fight the English, if their king is also king of England? Aren't they happy?
They want total independence from Britain, Wills said thoughtfully.
The hatreds run deep, most especially in the Highlands. They grew silent, each with their own thoughts. The winds rolled in from the sea, sweeping the mist more thickly about them and causing Beth to shudder in the cold. His thoughts turned to the Highlanders and the centuries-old tales of warfare, failed and bitter quests to rid their lands of English influence.
I do not know why our brothers hate the Highlanders so, Wills said.
They are Scots, after all.
Ah, but every people needs someone who is more lowly than they are, 'eh? Her voice was soft.
I suppose it is that way everywhere. Each people pick another people that they can point at and say, 'Ah, but we are better than them over there.' Otherwise, if they are the same as us, then there is no one lower, which would make us equal to the lowest of the low. She stopped to pick some heather along the path.
Wills continued walking and after a few moments he heard her rushing up behind him to catch up. When she was once again beside him, he said,
I met a Highlander once.
I did. I just kept walking one day until the ground was no longer flat; it was rolling. And in the distance, I could see the Highlands.
What do they look like?
Very tall. Very formidable.
And did you go there, to their village?
He shook his head.
It is said they war among themselves and in order to venture onto their lands, you must obtain permission first.
But how do you obtain permission, if you cannot go there to ask for it?
He laughed.
I don't know.
What was the Highlander like?
He was very kind, actually. Friendly, in fact. He was in the rolling hills, as was I, and each of us asked the other if that was his land.
So you spoke the same language?
Of course we did. We are Scots. Though, he added,
he did have a thicker accent. I thought we were very different from the English until I met him. Now I see how the English have influenced us in the Lowlands, influenced our speech and way of life.
What did he look like?
Very tall. Much taller than I. And his arms looked to be twice as long.
'Tis true.
So you came away thinking what? That we are more like the Highlanders or more like the English?
He walked in silence for a moment as he considered her question.
Neither one, he said.
We are crammed in between the two. On the one hand, we have the Highlanders—large, rugged, warring. It is said they are influenced by the lands to the northeast of them, on the other side of the North Sea, where the men are twice the size of the English.
Ah, he chuckled,
giants indeed… And on our other side, there are the English. Very proper, very orderly. Even when they are not.
Beth laughed. Her laughter sounded like tiny bells.
And there we are, right in the middle.
Neither Highlander nor English. He paused and then mused,
I wonder why our family dislikes the English so?
Why, because they have more than we do, Beth answered.
Every people must have someone they begrudge, someone they can blame when their lot in Life is not what they believe it should be, don't you think?
He grunted but as they continued on in silence, he considered her words. Only fifteen and yet her soul seemed so much older, so much wiser. Of course it was true, what she said. Everyone needed to point to someone with power and blame them for their sorry lot in life, and everyone needed someone else to point to and declare they are better than that group over there. So the Lowlanders had the English they despised for having power and finer things, and the Highlanders they despised for being lower than they.
And what of the Irish? Wills said as once again Beth hurried to catch up with him after stopping to gather more heather.
The Irish. She spoke the words in a hushed voice.
It is said they are very, very small, barely as tall as my waist.
He laughed.
Surely not.
Oh, but it is true. They practice magic and spells. The men are hunched over like gnomes. The women do not look like women at all. And they smell.
His laughter continued.
Why do they smell?
I do not know, but they do.
They reached the edge of a dried-up lough and Wills stopped.
You had best turn back now, he said.
You mustn't get too far from home.
I know. She sighed.
I wish I could come with you, Wills. I wish I could see the ship, too.
One day, Beth. One day.
Will you tell me all about it when you get back?
Of course I will.
I will want to know everything.
I will tell you everything.
Every last detail.
Every last detail. I promise. He bent to kiss her on the forehead.
Now, off with you. If anyone asks about me—
I will not tell them anything, she interjected.
Ah. For a fleeting moment, a memory rose in his mind's eye; a thrashing the likes of which he had never had before nor since, meant to be a lesson not to venture far from home without an elder's permission. Then just as quickly, it faded. No doubt Rory had already told their father, if he was not sleeping off the night's work, and the thrashing was awaiting him no matter how far he walked nor what he ventured to see.
Thank you, Beth.
She looked down at her basket.
I'll go back toward home, she said reluctantly.
The heather is harder to come by these days, and we need it to fuel the fire… Her voice faded.
As she remained there, he began to walk again, this time with greater strides. Sometime later, he turned to look back but she was gone, disappeared into the heavy mists.
Wills lay flat on his stomach, his chin resting on his folded forearms as he watched the ship in the distance. He had ventured as close as he dared go without detection, and for quite some time he'd lain almost perfectly still as he observed the activity. Though the sun was high, it did little to warm him; the chilled winds penetrated his thin clothing to rake against his bare skin, but he barely noticed it. He was focused on the ship itself in an attempt to memorize every aspect of it, as well as the wagons and soldiers who had been working for hours to unload its cargo.
The ship was huge, an ocean-faring ship for sure, he thought. It had three masts and while moored, the sails had been taken down and tied around them. It must be a sight to see when the sails were unfurled, and he hoped they would do it soon so he could witness it.
The English flag flew lofty and proud in the high winds. It was the first time he had seen the Union Jack, as King James had only ordered its design and use two years before; it was to be used for maritime, which in his mind further confirmed the ship was an oceangoing vessel. The flag designers had taken the previous English flag of red and white known as Saint George's Cross and superimposed it on the Scottish flag of blue and white, known as Saint Andrew's Cross or the Saltire. Since the blue cross was diagonal and the red cross upright, the result was rather striking.
The ship's deck was brimming with activity as the sailors brought up cargo from the hold. English soldiers had arrived on shore with a number of wagons and as quickly as the boxes were taken off the ship, they were packed on the wagons. Several had already left for the north; he supposed the supplies were intended for the Highlands and the English soldiers serving there.
Occasionally, he heard shouts and instructions. Gaelic was his first language and English his second, but since the latter was only spoken in the presence of the English, he had scant opportunity to use it. Now he strained to hear the words, interpreting them in his head as a bit of a game he played with himself.
The uppermost section of the hull contained a row of openings and if the light hit just right, he could barely make out the outline of the cannons. A warship then, he thought with awe; a warship delivering supplies to the English soldiers. The thrill of it made the thrashing he would receive well worthwhile.
He was so intent on studying the vessel that he did not hear the man approach from behind until he demanded in a loud voice,
And what have we here?
Startled, he spun around.
What is your name, boy?
William, he answered.
William Neely, sir.
You speak English. It was more of a statement than a question, but he appeared surprised that Wills had understood him.
Aye, sir.
Are you a Highlander?
No, sir.
Where is your home?
Wigtownshire, sir.
The man's eyes narrowed. He was short and stocky, his face grizzled and worn.
You are far from home.
Aye, sir.
Why are you spying on us? He nodded toward the ship and the soldiers.
I—I wasn't spying, sir. His mind raced. A spy could be quartered, his head impaled as a warning to others.
Who sent you?
No one, sir. I came on my own. I-I saw the ship and I wondered if it was true, if you had been to lands away from Scotland.
The man leaned on the stock of a harkbus, his feet spread apart. He appeared to be weighing Wills' responses.
I have heard tell of Ireland, Wills continued, his enthusiasm causing his words to spill more quickly.
They say there are trees everywhere, that it is very green. They say it is beautiful.
A slight smile played across his lips.
What they say is true.
And do you sail there? On that ship?
We do.
Wills pulled himself into a seated position and squinted up at the man.
I heard tell that a ship like that found a new world across the ocean. Is it true?
Ah, that would be the Godspeed. No, this ship is quite a bit smaller, I'm afraid. This one is about a hundred paces.
A hundred paces. Wills whispered the words as if they were magical.
And the Godspeed?
About a hundred and fifty paces, more or less.
A hundred and fifty paces. I have never seen a ship that large.
Nor are you likely to, he chuckled,
unless you happen to be in London or a similar port. He held out his hand.
Stand up, lad.
Wills took his hand. His palm was rough as leather, the fingers stubby, as the man pulled him to his feet with ease.
Will you tell me about the things you have seen? he asked.
At that, the man smiled. It was a small smile, to be sure, his lips kept tight, but Wills felt a little more certain that he would not be dragged in and quartered as a spy. For the better part of the afternoon, until the sun was beginning to dip on the far western horizon,

I was chatting with a friend earlier today and I told him how I envy my friend, Doris, who took a month long vacation to Hawaii with her family recently. My friend told me that I could do the same if I wanted to, and leave my responsibilities and commitments behind for a short while.
My friend asked me if I could go on a vacation right now, where would I want to go. Frankly, I have no idea at all. My friend told me that he discovered an excellent vacation destination in Oregon Beach which is becoming increasingly popular among holiday makers taking a vacation for two or as a family.
I was told that many of these holiday makers prefer Oregon Coast vacation rentals
over conventional hotels because they would be able to spend some quiet time together without running into other nosy tourists. Whether one opts to stay at a holiday condo or vacation home in Oregon Beach, it sure beats putting up at a hotel.
If you check the website of OregonBeachVacations.com, you will be able to view the breathtaking properties that are available for rent by tourists and they are so inviting that they made me wish that I was there right now! If you are planning an Oregon holiday, you may want to check this site for your preferred accommodation.

Dr Malinga's latest gig as host of reality TV show Papgeld will see him introduce his more serious side to Mzansi and he plans to be a mediator to ensure the children in these situations come out the winners.
"At the end of the day, that show is about ensuring that the children or child is taken care of. That will be my approach going into each and every episode. I also want to make sure that we learn to hear the father's side of the story before we jump to conclusions. Because I have realised that most times, the parents have different versions of the story," he said.
The new host said while shooting one of the shows he met a father, who had been painted with a bad brush. He said the man had a reason to want a paternity test as the mother of the child in question had first denied him access and told him the child wasn't fathered by him.
Dr Malinga said while the show is meant to mend families and ensure that children are taken care of, that isn't always the priority for the participants, who on several occasions have proved to be there for the drama.
"I'm ready for all kinds of emotions to pop up on this job because the matters we are dealing with are really emotional. I want the men we meet to speak out about how they feel and explain why they have been absent but most of all to remind them that the child deserves their love no matter what drama has occurred between the parents. I don't care about the parents' drama, I want the kids to win."

I'm quick when it comes to spotting potentially edible foods in the wild; partly from lots of reading about California flora, and how the native peoples provided for themselves; and partly from an all-consuming curiosity that's been with me since childhood. I like to decipher the connections between plants; what's related to what; and I'm willing to try almost anything once.

A new geological map of the Abitibi Subprovince
By Jean Goutier and Mario Melançon
This new version of the geological map of the Abitibi Subprovince substantially updates previous editions by the MER-OGS (1984) and Hocq (1990). The most significant changes are in the northern portion of the Abitibi Subprovince. They include:
New dating of volcanics containing lenses of massive sulphides (Cu-Zn-Ag-Au) highlights the presence of new episodes of polymetallic mineralization, such as at 2736 Ma (Gémini-Turgeon), 2721 Ma (Estrades), 2718 Ma (Gonzague-Langlois) and 2706 Ma (Abcourt) as opposed to classical episodes, at 2730-2725 Ma (Normétal-Joutel-Selbaie-Matagami) and 2701-2697 Ma (Horne, LaRonde). Some areas also display geological characteristics (lithology and age) analogous to those of the rock hosting the giant Kidd Creek Cu-Zn-Ag deposit in Ontario.
Other dating shows that the episode of alkaline volcanism and deposition of alluvial-fluvial sediments in the northern portion (Haüy and Waswanipi formations) is not as old as expected (~2690 Ma rather than 2715-2705 Ma). These rocks are therefore close in age to the Timiskaming-type sedimentary and volcanic rocks in the southern portion of the Abitibi Subprovince that are associated with major structures and many gold deposits (e.g. Kirkland Lake area in Ontario ). Accordingly, in the north, the shearing bordering these rock types represents corridors prospective for the discovery of new gold deposits.
The synthesis map emphasizes regional correlations, new U-Pb dating and geology issuing from recent work by Géologie Québec, which is available in SIGÉOM. It features a legend showing the temporal correlations between the volcanic, plutonic and sedimentary units. This version will be used as a base for a small-scale georeferenced map.
For details about new dating in the Abitibi Subprovince, please see the following documents: RP-2005-01, RP-2005-02, RP 2006-04.

Arutz 7 A media gag order was lifted on Monday on the testimony of the main complainant against the extremist Messianic cult exposed the day before, which brain-washed Jewish women into taking drugs and having sex with Arab men in order to "bring the redemption."
The Lehava anti-assimilation organization led police in gathering evidence and exposing the cult, which has led to the arrest of at least six key figures on suspicion of pressuring women into prostitution, trafficking of women, rape, providing drugs and holding people in conditions of slavery.
"I was so captive, I didn't have the option to get out of there," revealed the main complainant in her chilling testimony. "I don't know how many (other women) were in my condition, I do know of two others. Not everyone can reach such places, to reach the situation I was in is to be completely erased." [...]
Recalling her experiences with the cult, the woman stated "one time I met someone and told him everything, and he told me 'you have no idea where you are, I've never seen anyone with brain-washing on this kind of level. I've seen everything in my life but I've never seen anything like this - when you get out you'll understand.'"
"Afterwards, a friend saw how G. treated me," said the victim, referring to the main suspect who headed the cult. "He wouldn't speak, instead he whistled at me, and when he whistled I'd come and (my friend) didn't know what was going on."
The woman lived with G. before escaping two years ago. In order to entrap her, she reports that G. promised to marry her, but said he would do so "only after you finish all the spiritual sparks" - namely having sex with Arab men to "purify the non-Jews" under the warped ideology he brain-washed her with.
At one point she recalls "I left, but I returned to live with him. My brain was trapped there. ...That a woman reaches a point where she's with eight Arabs she needs to be at a stage of serious (spiritual) deletion - that a man would whistle and I would come, that a man would sleep on the bed and I would sleep underneath the bed (on the floor)."
"I asked him (G.) 'why can't I sleep with you on the bed?' He answered 'your brain disturbs my holy brain, sleep on the floor.' When I asked 'why on the floor? I can sleep in the other room on the bed,' he answered that my brain helped him, and that I need to be near him," she recalled. "When I remember these little examples it's horrifying." [...]

BUACC5901 Accounting and Finance
1. General information and due date
This assignment
constitutes 35 per cent of the assessment in this unit. The due date for
lodgement will be 5pm on Friday 27 September 2013.
The assignment is
to be submitted via Moodle.
2. Purpose
BUACC5901 is
concerned primarily with the use of accounting information. The purpose of the
assignment is to provide students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge
and skills acquired in Accounting and Finance to a practical task involving the
use of 'real-world' accounting information. This is intended to consolidate
students' accounting knowledge and skills. Students are required to complete
the assignment in groups of two or three. The objective of such group work is
to foster the development of co-operative work skills.
3. Requirements
Students are to organise themselves into
groups of two to complete the assignment.
The basic requirement is to undertake a general financial analysis
comparing Myer Holdings Ltd (Myer) (ASX Code MYR) latest financial
position and performance for 2 Financial Years compared to that of David Jones
(ASX Code DJS) over the same period.
If the 2013 financial statements are released by
Myer and David Jones by 10 September then you should prepare ratios comparing
2013 with 2012 performance for both entities.
If the 2013
financial statements are released after 10 September then you should compare
2012 with 2011 performance for both entities.
(Note: students are
to use the 'Consolidated' data in conducting their analysis.) The analysis
should consider each of: profitability, asset efficiency, liquidity, capital
structure, and market performance.
Note that for those
ratios which involve Balance Sheet figures students will require the previous
year's financial statements (in addition to the latest report) to provide the
beginning-of-year balance sheet figures.
The assignment will contain two main elements:
Schedule(s) of relevant
ratios and other useful calculations
The detailed
calculation of relevant ratios and other useful calculations should be included
as one or more appendices prepared using Excel or a similar spreadsheet.
Students are advised to show the formulae used in determining particular ratios
and other figures. Data items (for example 'Sales Revenue' or 'Total Assets')
should be entered in a single cell in a specially designated 'data area' in the
spreadsheet, with any calculation referencing the relevant data cell.
A written report
The written report
Explain briefly what is revealed by the ratios
and other calculations in the context of the companies profitability, asset
efficiency, liquidity, capital structure, and market performance. In particular,
any important changes over the period 2012 to 2013 should be identified,
discussed and, where possible, explained.
Provide an overall assessment of whether the
companies performance over the 2013 financial year have been better than 2012,
and which company has improved its performance to a greater extent over this
period. The judgement should be made from the perspective of existing equity
investors (shareholders).
4. Other guidelines
assignment is to comply with the University's General Guide for the
Presentation of Academic Work (revised edition 2011) and the written report is
not to exceed 3,000 words and a word count must be shown on the cover page of
the assignment.
are encouraged to seek and use additional public information about the company
from sources other than the annual report (for example, from the internet,
newspapers, and business magazines). However, it is not envisaged that students
will be engaged in extensive research of this nature and it is expected that
the annual report will be the primary resource relied upon in completing the
Students are
requested not to try and make direct personal contact with either company (for
example by telephone, fax, letter or email) in an attempt to gather further

are expected to obtain relevant share price data for the company so that
investment ratios (such as a price earnings ratio) can be calculated. (It is
recommended that students obtain the companys' share price as at the 2013 and
2012 balance dates for the purpose of calculating relevant ratios on these
dates. Share price data is available from a variety of sources including the
Students may find it useful to consult accounting
references, in addition to the prescribed text, which deal with the analysis
and interpretation of company financial reports.
5. Assessment criteria
In assessing
submitted assignments consideration will be given to:
Overall neatness, completeness and quality of
presentation. Graduate level students are expected to achieve a satisfactory
standard with respect to this criterion as a matter of course, and for this
reason no credit will be granted for achieving it. However, assignments that
fail to achieve the minimum standard in connection with this criterion may be
penalised. The expected standard concerning this criterion is compliance with
the University's General Guide for the Presentation of Academic Work (revised
edition 2011).
Demonstrated skill in identifying and calculating
relevant ratios and other indicators of profitability, asset efficiency,
liquidity, capital structure, and market performance. This criterion relates
specifically to the requirement to prepare a schedule (or schedules) of
relevant ratios and other calculations and carries a weighting of 10 marks out
of the 35 available for the whole assignment.
Demonstrated understanding of financial reports
and ratios and other indicators of profitability, asset efficiency, liquidity,
capital structure, and market performance.
This criterion
relates specifically to the requirement to submit a written report and carries
a weighting of 25 marks out of the 35 available for the whole assignment.
Written reports in excess of 3,000 words may be penalised.
A copy of the detailed feedback sheet, showing
how the marks are allocated, is attached on the following page.
A single copy of
the assignment should be submitted, for which each student in the group will
usually receive the same mark. This is based on the expectation that each
student in a group will contribute equally to the preparation of the
assignment. Where this expectation has not been satisfied separate marks may be

Marsden Blog
Download our free industrial weighing terms glossary
We recently published a medical weighing terms glossary, that was free to download. It was so successful - we've done the same for industrial weighing scales!
Industrial weighing scales are used far and wide, for a huge number of uses. In fact, at some point in their lives, almost any commodity is weighed, be it at the point of manufacturing, at the point of selling or when it is being transported to a destination.
Buying guide: Counting scales
There can't be many suppliers of industrial scales with as much pedigree as Marsden. We cut our teeth supplying industrial weighing equipment way back in 1926 - and here we are, 90 years (but a month) later, with a comprehensive, high quality, hand-picked selection of industrial scales.
Download our free medical weighing terms glossary
As a medical or health and fitness professional, we understand that you're expected to be an expert in a multitude of areas. It's likely that, from time to time, customers or patients will ask you questions about the equipment you provide - and the answer may not always be obvious to either you or them.
A quick guide to choosing the right animal scales
Faced with the range of Marsden veterinary scales on this website, you may feel a little bamboozled. Which weighing scale is the best for your needs? Does it make a difference if you're weighing a cat or a dog? Will the scale be accurate enough?
The Marsden advent calendar: A deal a day!
This coming Tuesday is 1st December - and to celebrate the run-up to Christmas, we'll be revealing a special offer each day of the week.
From Tuesday 1st December to Friday 18th December (we have to finish then to fully ensure orders reach customers before Christmas), excluding weekends, you'll be able to take advantage of a different product offer each day with the Marsden advent calendar.
Portal user? We've created a free printable guide...
If you are one of our contract customers we're sure you have been reaping the rewards of our Client Portal, and if you haven't, then now is the time to start!
We've put together an easy-to-follow, printable guide to the Marsden Client Portal that you can use if you're new to using this service, or if you need a bit of a refresher each time you use it. Just scroll down to the bottom of this blog post to download.
Download our free body fat percentage chart
Finding out your body fat percentage is useful for two things: knowing how healthy your body is, and determining whether your weight goals are realistic.
Calculating body fat percentage is an accurate measurement of fitness level as it's the only body measurement which directly calculates a person's relative body composition.
The IMO container weighing legislation: Download our free guide
On 1st July 2016, new legislation will come into force that will affect anyone exporting goods via containers. Set out by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the ruling states that every container will need to be weighed and proof of weight provided before the goods can be legally loaded onto a ship.

Amazing illustrations. So much to look at on every page, and the simple story telling compliments it well. Great for the child who thinks there's only one way to see there's more to it than that. Makes a good sibling story too.

I adored the illustrations. They are so vibrant and eye-catching that I wanted to crawl inside the pages.

Participants were a sample group of 120 secondary school students in different branches of study. The data was gathered by administering the Multiple Intelligence Questionnaire adapted from Douglas and Harms´ questionnaires, Bell Adjustment Questionnaire, and a researcher – made questionnaire on the sample group. The following results were obtained: It was shown that there was low to moderate but significant correlation among different kinds of intelligence and related school subject scores. Interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence scores accounts for 22 percent of the total variance of social adjustment. Different finds of intelligence are not totally independent from each other. There were low to moderate but significant correlations among some of them. 33 percent of the common variance among different finds of intelligence suggests spearman´ s «g» factor. The greatest variance of educational achievement can be accounted for by verbal – linguistic and logistic – mathematical intelligence. In regards to intrapersonal intelligence, girls are superior to boys, but boys are superior to girls in regards to visual – spatial intelligence. There was no significant difference between the two genders in other kinds of intelligence.

This approach has its critics and supporters. Critics of this approach believe that the rational approach – according to characteristics of rationality, cannot fit to the process that is religious; because, there is sharp distinction and conflict between religion and rationality. Therefore, based on critics views we could not speak about rational approach to religious education. However, supporters of rational approach to religious education believe that there is close relation between rationality and religion; because religion is a rational–based activity. The study of critics and supporters view about rational approach to religious education is set forth.

Hadi Keramati (Ph D Student) author Alireza Moradi (Ph D) author Manizhe Kaveh (Ph D Student) author text article 2005 per Three–hundred and seventy–three male and female students from martyred families attending high schools for martyred families were selected by using cluster sampling in four provinces of Tehran, Kermanshah, Ardebil and Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari. They completed the Family performances (Baldowing, 1983), Social skills (Matsan, 1983) and Psychological health (Goldenberg , 1988) questionnaires. Their GPA of the previous school year was used as the criterion to evaluate their educational performance. The findings revealed that the average of family performance in martyred families with remarried mothers is lower than that in martyred families with non–remarried mothers. Findings indicated that female children of martyred families were in a better condition compared to male children of these families with respect to psychological health and educational performance, but no significant difference was found between the two group's social skills. The educational and psycho-social implications are discussed.

Therefore, there have not been a suitable theory and proper native assessing tools made in our country in the field of moral development. The main issue is that the theoretical foundations and the structure and content of these viewpoints are provided without considering the innate and eternal moral foundations, moral motive and feeling, moral belief and culture, and moral behavior and reactions. Such viewpoints are not in consistency with our school students moral development. This article has shown that Piaget, Kohlberg, and Banduras viewpoints have strictly positioned the moral judgment, learning social laws, and relations of the Western countries as the foundation for their theories without considering spiritual, rational, and motivational bases of moralities, which have roots in divine creation and the human nature. By providing a new model for moral development formation, this article has shown that individuals social and moral development is a result of complicated, dynamic, and mutual interactions of the five following factors: innate nature of the individual, social contexts, events and experiences, moral judgment development, and manifestation and change of stimulations and sentiments of sympathy and helping other people. The article tries, while criticizing the present psychological approaches on moral development, to prepare the way for a new scientific and authentic research in making theory for moral development and preparing theoretical basis for making national assessing scales for moral development.

Staff training is among the most important factors for enhancing the structure and activities in any organization (Shahani, 1377). In-service Training for employees is troublesome because in order to participate in different schools they have to leave their place of work, which causes serious problems for taking care of responsibilities and duties in the organization. By looking into the resources available in in-service education centers throughout the country, the present research is trying to answer the question of whether the virtual education system for the employees of the ministry of education can be setup or not. If the response is positive, we look to see what education fields, what lessons, and for which employees in the ministry of education it can be done. As well, it looks to see with what procedure it is possible. This article has mentioned the feasibility of use of virtual in–service education with regards to technical, human, financial, and physical resources, as well as organizational culture and fields of implementation of that system.

AceShowbiz - An interesting tidbit related to %cTaylor Lautner% and his role as Jacob Black in "New Moon" has been brought to the surface by Entertainment Weekly (EW). In its recent article, the publication noted that there is a chance the 16-year-old may get to keep his Native American character in the sequel of vampire drama "Twilight".
According to EW, sources close to the production have suggested that "the simplest route would be to go with Lautner". In addition, one of the insiders was quoted saying, "I'm very hopeful. We're not looking at anybody else." Furthermore, EW reported that Lautner has met with director Chris Weitz and undergone screen-test for chemistry with %cKristen Stewart%.
In early December, reports about the potential replacement of Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black broke out. The "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" actor is considered to be too "young-looking and slight of frame to play the maturing werewolf", while the "New Moon" Jacob is described by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to be "a foot taller and huge" and is "supposed to look 25".
After his name was excluded from the official synopsis, rumors were building up, hinting that "The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior" actor %cMichael Copon% was on the run to take over. But, representative for the actor was quick to turn down the speculations. Meanwhile, Lautner himself revealed that he is fighting to keep the role by gaining 19 pounds and promising to pack on 10 more before shooting starts.
"New Moon", an adaptation to Stephenie Meyer's second novel of her "Twilight" series, is penned by "Twilight" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and will be directed by "The Golden Compass" director Chris Weitz. It still follows the romantic story between Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (%cRobert Pattinson%).
Centering on the personal conflict Bella experiences, the follow-up movie will chronicle the time Bella Swan is left devastated by the abrupt departure of Edward Cullen. Finding solace in her friendship with Jacob Black, she soon finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves and her loyalty to the vampires is tested. The production of "New Moon" is scheduled to begin in the coming months for November 20, 2009 release.
