A trip to Lincolnshire to see / hear the freshly arrived Nightingales was eagerly awaited and when news of their arrival was confirmed a trip was planned. Meeting at 6am in Newhey with a dodgy weather forecast was not for the faint of heart, but I never really believe forecasts. Off we went with Bob K at the wheel, who soon had us at Whisby NR by 7-40am. Next to nobody there at that time so, with any luck we should be lucky. We reached the location and were all quite staggered by the Nightingales song but better still you could watch them in the dense, dark bushes (Just my excuse for not getting any good pictures really) Nightingales are a very evocative species to be near at this time of year, but we had to give the birds some room etc. We all headed off for a grand tour of the nature reserve amid the cacophony of Black Headed Gulls. Plenty of Willow Warblers, Chiff-chaff, Blackcap all singing, what a joy they are to listen to. We have only really called into Whisby before but I feel sure we will be back again.
A bit of a change was our next port of call, a place called Barnack in Cambridgeshire to see the Pasque flowers. Upon arrival Chris B shot off in pursuit of this rather beautiful flower, his face was a picture of delight having found lots of them! We all took lots of pictures and managed to leave before hordes of people arrived. After a call at a small reserve near Wittering, a check of rare bird news revealed a Red Rumped Swallow at Fairburn Ings NR near Castleford, Yorkshire. As one of the boys needed this species for a "lifer", we headed off up the A1.
The weather was a little worse upon arrival at Fairburn, but that would keep the swallow in the area we all thought. As we hurried down the path a few birders were looking skywards, quickly telling that the bird was still present. Fairly good views were had of the bird that was in the company of House Martins. An adult Little Gull also performed really well in Village Bay, but not close enough for any pictures. We met Darren from Leeds who told us about a Spoonbill, booming Bittern on the Coal Tip walk. We had to give it a go didn't we, Bob K by this stage was feeling the effects of a sore ankle and stayed near the visitor centre, wise move Bob. A long uphill slog passing 3 reed fringed ponds revealed the booming Bittern and a "squealing" Water Rail. After searching through lots of Little Egret, Grey Heron and Cormorant nesting areas we had to leave not having found the hoped for Spoonbill, very nice walk though.
Final call was at St Aiden's / Swillington RSPB for the breeding plumaged Black Necked Grebe`s. We entered the reserve via Station Road, Methley, crossed over the railway and the river and walked along the causeway that cuts across the reserve (ta for the information Darren) The grebe`s were soon located and they performed really well. A pair of Common Tern also seemed newly arrived. This area has changed since we used to birdwatch the area many years ago, for the better this time. We soon reached home having all enjoyed a really good day out. Thanks for driving Bob.

Mersey Meanderings. Sunday 17th August 2014.Posted: August 26, 2014 in Bird Watching, Birding

Myself and the two Steve`s decided on visiting a couple of new places of birding interest last Sunday. These sites often get mentioned on RBA, but, we have never visited them, they are Carr Lane Pools in Hale and Pickering`s Pasture in Hale Bank, near Widnes. The weather all day was showery with sunny periods and as we got to Carr Lane Pools a weather front passed through and we had to head back to my car for shelter. A Peregrine put most of the birds up and as they settled a Wood Sandpiper was found by Steve K, along with a few Yellow Wagtails and some Black Tailed Godwits. Well worth a visit! At Pickerings Pasture, it at first looked like a dog walking area, but as we did the tour a good birding spot right on the River Mersey was revealed, some woods, a small pool and the tidal flats were decent birding area`s. My search for the elusive Treecreeper carried on in the woods, but again, no joy for this hard species to catch up with this year!! At Frodsham we did the full trip around, testing my car`s suspension and after Steve B had taken on a small gardening job, which he did admirably with the help of a lady photographer, we birded the area and a Marsh Harrier was seen hunting. The lack of waders was apparent, but the tide was all wrong to be honest. We visited Leasowe and New Brighton, the wind was quite strong and the tide was coming in, but still to far out to wait for any seabirds. Another search for Treecreepers at Risley Moss was made but, they do not feed the birds in summer so the Woodland hide was almost deserted. A Hobby hunting from the Tower hide was great to watch, but not much else. Pennington Flash was good, apart from the shower / cloudburst that hit us after leaving the car. We managed 2 Kingfishers, 5 Common Terns,Green Sandpiper and a Garganey in eclipse moult, with lots of other species to watch and enjoy. Our last port of call was Astley Moss (for the third time this year) to search for, you guessed it Treecreeper! People say," third time lucky", but not for me, it`s a nice walk anyway! We reached home by 5-15pm and all enjoyed the day.
Local Birding in Tunisia. 13th to 20th June 2014Posted: June 24, 2014 in Bird Watching

A family holiday spent at the Sahara Beach Hotel in Skanes, Monastir, Tunisia. It was our fifth visit to the area so I already knew where to go birding. Managed to do some birding every day, but mainly in the morning, usually around 6-15am as it became very warm around 9-30am. The area around this hotel is dominated by very large salt lagoons and lots of breeding birds, including Yellow legged Gull, Slender billed Gull, Little, Common and Gull billed Tern's and good numbers of Collared Pratincole. Waders in the shape of Black winged Stilt, Avocet, Little Ringed and Kentish Plover. Lots of Greater Flamingo directly behind the Monastir Airport, along with Spoonbill and Stone Curlew in small numbers. At the local dump near Sahline, up to 180 White Storks were present but the spectacle of uncountable numbers of Yellow legged Gull will stay with me for a long while! In the hotel area's Hoopoe, Serin, Crested Lark, Bee-Eater, Blackbird, Sardinian Warbler, Olivaceous Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher, Spanish Sparrow were seen in varying numbers. Around the salt lagoons various bushes and mixed habitat held up to 8 Great Grey Shrikes of the algeriencis form that allow close attention to photograph! Also in those area' s are small numbers of Zitting Cisticola(Fan Tailed Warbler), Greenfinch, Linnet, Short Toed Lark and the abundant Rock/ Feral Dove. Smaller numbers of Collared, Laughing and Turtle Doves also.Large flocks of Spotless Starling are great to watch as they dig for food on the ground and squabble just like "our" one's. There are lots of Swift and with a bit of luck a few Pallid Swift can be found as they chase their prey close to the ground. Small numbers of House and Sand Martins were seen, but not many Barn Swallow's (think there is a sad decline this year in their numbers) On the journey from Enfidha Airport to our hotel a single Carrion Crow was seen flying around a small village, a bit unusual that? A single Barbary Partridge was seen one early morning in the scrub around the salt lagoons and in the evening a single Hobby was out hunting and then a flock of 5 Shelduck flew past. A few Kestrel's and Sparrowhawk's were seen again in small numbers. Our our return home and near the airport at Enfidha a Booted Eagle was seen hunting and great end to a very localised birding / family holiday.

A 6am start with myself driving and Steve & Chris Brown on the trip. A nice morning and our first call at Holyhead Harbour to see the Black Guillemots. The birds where soon located and a few pictures were taken. We used to have to go to Fedyr Fawr to see these stunning summer plummaged birds,but, now its much easier to catch up with them. It was a strong off shore wind that greeted us at South Stack RSPB reserve. Plenty of Manx Shearwaters were heading to the north and up to 5 Puffins were seen alongside lots of Guillemots & Razorbills. Large gulls patrolled the cliffs in case any food was availiable from the breeding areas. At our much awaited destination of Cemlyn Bay, the sun shone and 20 degrees of heat but, alas, the wind was that strong that any pictures could not be taken as it took you all your time to keep your telescopes or bins still! Sandwich, Arctic and Common Terns were seen and a single Roseate Tern and the most splendid Meditereanean Gull in breeding plummage also. A walk along the adjoining headland was very nice but, mainly birdless. At Frodsham a Red necked Grebe and Lesser Scaup had been present for a few days so, we headed over there. A few comments about how well watched the place used to be and the variety of birds that used to be found followed and as we arrived a few birders were present and information was exchanged on the whereabouts of our two "target" species. The Lesser Scaup was with some Tufted Ducks on number 6 tank and looked too be starting to moult. The Red necked Grebe was on the Weaver Bend and required climbing over barbded wire, metre high grass and various obstacles that were on the footpath to the river! It was well worth the effort as the bird showed well if a little distant for close camera work. An Avocet was seen, bringing back some memories of myself and Steve B seeing our first in the north west in almost the same place many years ago. We met a twitching friend of mine and he told me about seeing the Short Toed Eagle, thanks for that Simon! Next stop, much nearer to home, Rindle Road and Astley Moss for the hard to locate Treecreeper. This species is prooving hard for me to see this year, is it declining? No joy on that species again, but a tip of from another birding friend had us in the deep grass again and succesfully finding a Yellow Wagtail in a field full of Llamas, it was a bit odd true but, again worth the walk. Time for home, back at 6pm and we all got at least 9 year ticks.

Anglesey, at last! 29/6/2013Posted: July 1, 2013 in Bird Watching, Birding

Well two weeks ago we had planned our annual trip to Anglesey, but, a certain Pacific Swift diverted us from going, so this Saturday the three elders of our group made the trip with Bob K driving. An early start was needed as a few stops had been planned so we left Rochdale at 6am. First stop was Holyhead harbour and as we got there the sun was trying to break out from behind the clouds. A Black Guillemot rather gave itself up to us at the side of a fishing boat and lots of pics were taken. A few other "tysties" were seen in the harbour and seen at nearly all other locations we visited during the day,they must be doing really well on Anglesey.
South Stack next and a great joy to visit with the masses of seabirds perched facing the massive stacks. Lots of gulls, Guillemots, Razorbills, a few Puffins and passing on the sea quite a number of Manx Shearwater and an occasional Gannet. The ferries coming and going also give me and Steve B a gentle reminder about work! The small group of Chough also entertained us with their calls and sheer pleasure that they seem to get from flying around, their larger cousins the Ravens were also on patrol looking for anything to eat. There has been a lack of butterfly`s this year and next to none were seen in the day. The drive to Cemlyn Bay is always filled with anticipation and hoping that the tern colony is doing well and not like a few year's ago when the lot were wiped out with predators. We came in from the east end and lots of terns were seen flying into the lagoon's. Lots of Sandwich Tern's a few Arctic Tern's and Common Tern's made up the breeding species.Black headed Gull, Oystercatcher were also breeding there. After taking a few pictures we noticed a Roseate Tern sat on the bricks on the edge of the colony, nice bird to see as they used to breed here. Around about this time a large female Peregrine "buzzed" the colony with everything that could fly taking to the air, quite a spectacle! It back tracked and swooped onto what we think was an Oystercatcher chick, carrying off the chick to become Peregrine chick food! A Common Rosefinch had been seen near to Point Lynas, were it had been singing almost all the time but only giving brief views. After a bit of a route march over gates, overgrown field's etc, we reached the area. The bird could be heard, even though none of us were fitted with our hearing devices, that's how audible it was. A small group headed nearer the bird and it gave a small perch up then flew down the valley. We all followed and apart from another flypast that was all we had on the bird. Hardly stunning and true to form. Another Roseate Tern had been showing on the River Clwyd just south of Rhyl, so as we were going that way to look at the Little Tern colony at Gronant, so we called in. As we arrived about 4 cars were there and birders, after we had parked they had all gone, the reason being so had the tern! We had a look anyway, lots of Sandwich Terns and about 6 summer plumaged Black tailed Godwit's, what stunners! Time for Gronant and Presthaven Sands, the walk as always was only brightened up by a single Stonechat, but as we got onto the beach, at least a 100 Little Tern's could be seen. Some on the sea fishing, others sat on nests or on the beach, quite a sight. The area is really well protected by fencing and a patrolling warden is in attendance, so the birds should produce lots of chicks. We believe it too be the only Little Tern colony on mainland Wales. Time for home now and a good day out, we all managed about 6 new birds for our year lists. Think its now time for the summer break. Oh no there's a Bridled Tern on the Farne Islands!

22 Hours from Norfolk.25/5/2013Posted: May 27, 2013 in Birding

Not quite the words from the famous song, but it was that time of year again to undergo our, "nearly a day trip" to Norfolk. Only three brave souls aboard this year with Steve K driving, Chris B and myself leaving Newhey at 11-30pm. We reached our first stop, Dersingham Bog, near Sandringham around 3am with a full moon and a cloudless sky, the signs were good. We saw a Nightjar sat in the road either feeding or eating grit? and we were off to a good start. As we descended into the bog distant "churring" was heard and a Grasshopper Warbler was just warming up. A few Woodcocks were heard/seen and what sounded like deer gave the place a bit of an eerie feel to it! As we left another two Nightjars were seen in the road and as the first vestiges of light came through no sign of the Golden Pheasants on the triangle. Next stop Foulden Common, a place I saw/ heard my very first Nightingale about 25 years ago, but alas no birds were heard in our search. A nice Barn Owl was perched up for us though. At Weeting Heath a blanket of low lying mist hampered our search for Stone Curlew, Chris found a Spotted Flycatcher and then the bird we had come to see as a Stone Curlew walked out of the mist. Now onto everyone's favorite reserve, RSPB Lakenheath Fen. It seems like a long time ago that this place was owned by Bryant & May for growing the tree's that would be turned into matchsticks and that Golden Oriole's were fairly easy to see. Now it has been transformed into a really cracking reserve with practically any type of marsh bird being seen. We arrived at 5-30am and already the car park held 10 cars on it. We trudged our way along the riverbank and soon heard the "dawn chorus" in full swing with Cetti's Warbler to the fore. We reached the far end of the reserve and watched a couple of Marsh Harriers, then the news of the Red Footed Falcon male being perched up about 250 yards away, so, off we went. A pair of Mute Swan's and 5 cygnets barred our way, but a patient walk around them did the trick! The Red Footed Falcon was indeed perched up and was admired for 15 minutes, a new bird for one of our number. We walked back along the river and watched a Common Crane gracefully feeding on the Norfolk side of the river. We agreed to have another look at the falcon, just as a Golden Oriole began to sing its very distinctive song. Two Hobbies were found sat in the same area as the falcon and a few long flights by the local Bittern's were also enjoyed. A small group of birders were looking into the reed's and told us that a Savi's Warbler was singing. It sung some more then showed itself to the small gathering. What a cracking marsh bird and in the company of a sat out "reeling", Grasshopper Warbler, nice to be able to compare the respective songs. This was another new bird for one of our team. A call in at Barnham Common for possible Woodlark had, nothing more than the following butterflies:-Small Copper, Small Heath, Green Veined White, Brimstone (pair). Time to head for the coast, reaching the "Iron Road" at Salthouse were we saw:-Egyptian Goose, Common & Sandwich Terns and a dodgy looking Ruddy Shelduck. Onto the east bank at Cley were a Wood Sandpiper showed very nicely and a couple of Bearded Tits were "pinging" and flying around. At Titchwell we saw a Red Crested Pochard and a Temminck's Stint, fairly close to the new hide. Grey Plover, Little Tern and a few more waders were seen in very pleasant conditions. We had to leave Norfolk now as time was pressing as a call at Whisby Nature Reserve was planned to catch up with the Nightingale that could not be found in Norfolk. We reached Whisby at 7pm and walked straight into a singing Nightingale, that gave us a good rendition before heading deeper into cover. The last bird on this trip anf a fitting end to a really memorable trip.We reached Newhey at 9-30pm having seen a total of 107 species and each of us having had around 20 new species for our year lists.

Our annual trip to the "sunny" isle will be remembered by those in attendance, not for a bird, but the site of a beautifully marked Adder not 4 feet from us as we watched the seabird colony at South Stack, Holyhead. It was on view for about 2 minutes and for the lads who remembered the Korean war it was the first time any of us had ever seen this species! After adding Puffin, Rock Pipit, Chough and distant Manx Shearwater`s we had a walk around and watched lots of Silver Studded Blue Butterflies, again a new species for most of us. A trip into Holyhead harbour revealed a couple of Black Guillemot`s. Now my favourite part of the trip Cemlyn Bay for a look at the tern colony that has been there ever since adam was a lad. Lots of Sandwich, Common and a few Arctic Terns are in the colony. They are all enjoying a good breeding year with 500 chicks having hatched already. A Roseate Tern had been seen for the last couple of days and it was eventually picked out in amongst the masses and showed really well,what a cracker! We called in at Llanfairfechan on the way home not really expecting to see any Common Scoter but a small flock of about 80 birds lingered not far from the wind farm turbines, these monstrosities are not nice but they are good for picking birds out and for giving directions onto birds though! Memorable day.
28th May 2011- Annual Norfolk Trip.Posted: July 12, 2011 in Bird Watching

Its our most looked forward to trip of the year, our annual trip to Norfolk. The trip itself was spoilt a bit by the strong winds that were blowing, and not all coming from me!(Ozzy!) We began at Salthouse Heath were a couple of Nightjars were heard and then seen, but the first of many disapointments was in the shape of no Nightingales not being heard on the heath at all (this was the first time ever that we have failed to hear them here). At Salthouse we picked up Egyptian Goose then the bit I really like the East Bank at Cley a couple of Bearded Tits, Spoonbill, Sandwich, Common and Little Terns were seen. The Glaven valley had a cracking Barn Owl. A trip to the Monty`s place was a wash out, we also didn't connect with the Quails at Choosely Barns also. Hoping for better things at Titchwell we had really close veiws of a Bittern that kept flying over the footpath and giving us all prolonged sightings. Time to head for the Brecks and one of the best reserve`s in Norfolk, Lakenheath or Hockwold Washes? No sign of the Golden Oriole`s, missed the Cranes by seconds but a couple of Hobbies and lots of Marsh Harriers kept us entertained, we had not seen Turtle Dove anywhere and didn't manage to see them here, also even with a good tip off from a reliable friend. Our last port of call was to see the Stone Curlew at a secret location (so we didn't have to spend any of our precious money – Tight Northerners and that) we were successful, but didn't connect with any Wood Larks. One highspot on the way home was of a Red Kite, in the Yorkshire area. A long day, but not one of our better trips! Ozzy managed to 93 species, which included 12 year ticks, that puts him on 173 species for 2011.

It's a watch that caught my eye and really separated itself from the competition. The 1st gen Apple watch was square and other smart watches had circular designs but looked cheap. The Moto 360 looked great, felt great on my wrist and was half the price of an Apple watch.
The first 6 months was a great experience. I received more compliments on my Moto 360 than any other watches I've worn in my life. This includes a wide range of watches such as luxury watches like the Breitling Superocean 44.
Changing watch faces was fun, answering phone calls from the watch convenient and reading text messages very efficient. It was very useful on a day-to-day in a business type of environment.
Things changed after 6 months. The battery began fading quickly. At the beginning I would get 12 hours of use. After 6 months I was lucky to get 6-8 hours of use. Then it began shutting off on its own.
I used it as a clock by my bedside as it recharged. A great idea but little did I know it slowly created a burn in on the screen. Now when I load certain watch faces, I can see the damage in the LCD screen.
Pairing the phone with my Android phone was relatively easy but when I changed from Android to iOS pairing the watch was nearly impossible. I had to reboot the watch and my iPhone to pair it properly.
One year later, I have not worn the watch. During the first 6 months I felt there was no need to ever own a regular watch. In fact, I thought regular watches would be dead. The complete opposite is now true based on my experience.
I think there is a place for smart watches for active use such as running. However, nothing beats the reliability of a regular watch. Until the technology improves with an extended battery life, improved reliability and better functionality I do not recommend these watches for daily use.

Equal pay is an issue that has garnered national attention recently -- and for good reason. With evidence showing that men continue to out-earn women for the same work, change is necessary to ensure equality in the workplace.
Certain workers remain at high risk for wage discrimination
Virtually every American worker is at risk for some sort of wage discrimination. However, some workers are statistically more likely to suffer this kind of illegal treatment than others. Unfortunately, many of those who are most likely to be taken advantage of are some of the most vulnerable members of the U.S. population.
Can your employer demand to know where you are at all times?
Earlier this month, a woman filed a lawsuit against her employer. The lawsuit claims seem fairly straightforward. The worker claims that her employer engaged in unfair business practices, invaded her privacy and terminated her wrongfully. These kinds of claims are filed in courts all across America, nearly every day. However, something makes this woman's claim unique. She only filed her claim after she refused to allow her employer to track her movements all day, every day.
When does it cross the line into sexual harassment?
Even those fortunate enough never to be the victim or witness of sexual harassment at work can likely imagine what a clear-cut case would look like. A harasser who fondles employees or makes clearly inappropriately sexual statements, and threatens victims with termination if they complain, is clearly violating those victim's right to a safe, nontoxic work environment.
Determining if your firing was wrongful or just unfortunate
Getting fired can be a devastating experience for anyone in California. Even if you didn't love or even particularly like your job, you don't necessarily want to lose it or the income that supports you and your family.

R. P. Hunnicutt - Abrams: A History of the American Main Battle Tank
Presidio Press | 1990 | ISBN: 089141388X | 320 pages | PDF | 163.25 MB
R.P Hunnicutt has written a series of books that mark the definitive history of American armored fighting vehicles, and serious students of the subject would be well advised to collect them all. Each encyclopedia-size volume has a thorough history of vehicle development, chapters devoted to prototypes and experimental vehicles, four view 1:48th scale drawings of all major types and subtypes, and a photo section depicting the vehicles in service. There are hundreds of detail photographs and illustrations, and the books are printed on high quality glossy paper.
This particular volume chronicles the US military's search for a true main battle tank that could replace both the medium and heavy gun tanks in service in the 1950's and early 60's. The MBT-70/XM803 project of the 1960's and early 70's is covered in detail, and finally the M1 Abrams itself, developed in the 1970's and first fielded in 1982. The book discusses the multilayered armor (nicknamed Chobham armor after the British MVEE facility that developed it) which gave the new generation of tanks their reputation for invincibility, though of course the exact composition was and is classified. It also covers the competitive trials between the General Motors and Chrysler Abrams prototypes and the German Leopard 2. The Leopard 2 was rejected for US service, but its 120 mm gun was incorporated into the US tanks beginning with the M1A1. The book went to print just as the M1A1 was being deployed to Saudi Arabia in 1990, so the history ends there, but it is still a superb reference for the Abrams.
R. P. Hunnicutt - A History of the American Light Tank. Vol.2: Sheridan
Presidio Press | 1995 | ISBN: 089141570X | 336 pages | PDF | 276.52 MB
Dick Hunnicutt's first volume, "A History of the American Light Tank", documents the development of light armored vehicles from their early beginning in World War I to the end of the Second World War. This volume 2 traces not only the development of the light tank, but also its transition from a lightly armored vehicle supporting infantry to its current in extremis role for the Army's early entry forces.
The centerpiece of volume 2 is the M551, General Sheridan, armored reconnaissance/airborne assault vehicle (AR/AAV). The Sheridan was a revolutionary vehicle; a tank that could swim, fire missile and caseless conventional ammunition from the same stabilized gun-launcher system, and be delivered to the combat area by parachute. All of these capabilities had to be developed and integrated into a vehicle weighing roughly sixteen tons. The Sheridan was the most complex armored vehicle ever developed by the Army at that time. It was to be the most controversial vehicle ever developed.
Mr. Hunnicutt does an outstanding job documenting the difficulties encountered in the development and fielding of the Sheridan. He also accurately records the divergent opinions held by the two main users of the vehicle, the cavalryman and the paratrooper.

Hello everyone! I am so happy I'm writing for the ECHO again! I have so much to share with you. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and I want to take a look at what it's all about with new eyes and understanding. Don't worry. I'm not going to give a treatise on the origin of our Thanksgiving holiday. Today, I want to talk about thanksgiving. Yes, that's thanksgiving with a lowercase T. I want to talk about feeling thankful, grateful, appreciation and abundance. But before you groan and go read something else, stick with me. You might be surprised.

On Friday morning we were on the road by 4am. Insane I know - the things boys do to surf.
Beautiful sunrise and the open (no traffic) road are truly special and something different at that time of the morning. We headed up the east coast and spent the weekend in Jongensfontein, which is just a bit further along the coast once you go through Stilbaai. We were really fortunate to be invited to join friends Chris and Sanmari, who were going up to the house in Jongens for the long weekend. As you can see, lots of food was consumed!
Braai's, beautiful views overlooking the sea, walks to the beach, schools of dolphins playing all day in the surf, sunsets, sea shells, picking mussels and so much beauty with awesome company!
We also all spent a divine evening of more eating and good company with friends Jack and Michelle, who own the gorgeous Charlotte House in Stilbaai. one the way home we drove past beautiful fields of flowers and snow capped mountains (first time I have gotten so close to snow hahah). To top it off, we came back to Cape Town to a stormy sky and the sun breaking through the clouds, such a special trip with so much beauty and fresh air around us. I always feel truly blessed to have opportunities like these, to get out of Cape Town and be exposed to our beautiful coastline. I have the boyf to thank for that :) He has opened my eyes to beautiful places and incredible people. A little slice of paradise and memories to be made.

Maria is Liz's best friend throughout the show, and in many ways she reflects Liz, both as characters, and in terms of her relationship with Michael, which is often contrasted against Liz's relationship with Max. Maria is usually portrayed as flighty and "wacky", but also emotionally grounded. Her father left when she was quite young, and it's easy to point out many ways in which she was influenced by her "hippy" mother, though she also regularly rebels against Mom and tries to plan to avoid mistaking the same mistakes as she sees in Mom's life.
At the beginning of season two, Maria starts to affect a more glamorous personal style, with longer hair, (it's later suggested that she convinced Isabel to help grow her hair out quickly,) and briefly becomes quite close to Max, doing her best to advise him well on winning Liz back and dealing with his alien worries, but she hilariously loses patience with his John F Kennedy obsession in "Ask Not" and whacks him with a heavy book-bag before lecturing him on Kennedy's failings as a husband.
Maria is passionate about music, and she shares that passion with Alex, and later with Jim Valenti. Eventually her musical aspirations bring her to New York, but she finds that her new music label is asking her to compromise her artistic integrity and walks away. At the end of Season three, she's the only member of the core gang not suspected to have alien genes, but chooses to leave town with the others in order to serve as moral support for Liz, and on account of her still-nebulous romance with Michael.

Start the Conversation
Utilizing the documentary film 13 Percent as the catalyst to promote unscripted commentary from the viewing audience, we have launched the Start the Conversation Media Campaign.
Following each live screening of the film, participant's comments will be captured on video, edited to 30 second PSAs (public service announcements), and uploaded to the Start the Conversation website.
Every PSA will also be linked by each participant to over 150 direct contacts from their email address book, Twitter, and Facebook accounts.
PSAs will fall into one of four categories:
Content related blogs will be established for each category to allow viewers to continue the conversation online.
This will be a month-long film screen campaign will be conducted by having two film screenings per week at targeted medical colleges, churches, city agencies, and local media outlets.
An anticipated 20 PSAs and 3,000 new viewers will be attracted to the Start the Conversation website each week. By the end of the month long Atlanta Start the Conversation Film Screening Campaign 80 PSAs will be posted to the website, and 16,000 new people will become engaged in discussion on the silent pandemic that is slowly consuming America's black and Latino communities.

Mr. HIV
Another salient feature of the Start the Conversation Media Campaign is the creation of our "mascot" that personifies this disease in a way that young people will be able to relate to. Below is the first in a series of "You know me… I'm Mr. HIV," poster and PSA campaign.
Program Formula: Docudrama
The horrors of the longest lasting human holocaust, better known as the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, endured for over 400 years. Prevailing images of Africans subjected to unimaginable cruelties in the West, aside from small pockets of resistance, depict them as helpless sheep lured into that dark abyss known as "slavery."
Spirit is a stirring account about the uncompromising will of 500,000 African slaves who rose from their knees, stood erect, looked their "masters" in their eyes, and took back their freedom. This is an epic tale of an "underdog" people, facing insurmountable odds, who mobilized themselves during the last decade of the 18th Century to become the world's most disciplined and dominant military fighting force at the turn of the 1800s.
Set on the Caribbean island of Saint Domingue, this tumultuous multinational conflict involving Holland, France, Poland, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States, ranks as the very First World War. At its center isa rag-tag army of Africans who challenged the power of Spain, the might of Her Majesty's Britannic Empire, Napoleon Bonaparte's invincible army, and defeated them all.
Spirit is the story about the awe-inspiring power of a people's will to be free.

The 2014 Pan African Film Festival Atlanta was a most spectacular event. It was four delightful and thought provoking days of screening, listening, and interacting with a host of engaging independent film makers from across the African diaspora.

Bob Lusital is a minor character in The Gerosha Chronicles of Dozerfleet Comics. He appears briefly in the second chapter of Blood Over Water: The Novel, as he hands down control of Sleet Mountain to Clyde Spendelworth.
Character bio
Little is known about Bob, except that he took over control of Sleet Mountain from his father Richard Lusital in the 1970s. He tried in the early 2000s to retire. However, his retirement fund dried up when he had to implement several new features at the plant to comply with new EPA regulations. Even then, the company's single largest financial setback was in the area of its waste disposal. Cleanup procedures that the EPA demanded of Bob made his Lower Northern plant in particular a heavy financial liability, and his company began operating in the red for many years. It was during this time that Gleeful-N'-Young pimp Clyde Spendelworth, hiding his true affiliations, presented himself to Bob and they became friends. Clyde proved to be very effective at cutting costs, though the company was still operating in the red. Bob eventually regained enough of his retirement pension saving to retire for real, in August of 2009. He decided to hand over partial control of the company to Clyde, mistakenly believing that Clyde meant only what was best for everyone.
Bob gave his final speech during a company party held for employees at Crooked Lake in northern Michigan. He then left in his limousine for a retired life. However, Clyde didn't want Bob to stop in and discover the illegal activities that were being planned for Sleet Mountain in Bob's absence. Therefore, Clyde sent escaped mental patient and skilled assassin George Lawence after Bob's limo. Bob and his chauffeur were never seen again. It is presumed that George cut them off on the road at some point, shot them both dead, then went to work quickly on disposing of the evidence.
Bob is a bubbly, cheery soul who can at times be clueless as to what is really going on around him. As such, others frequently take advantage of him. He does not know that Clyde and George mean to murder him. He also doesn't even notice when Chris and Mark smuggle Aaron aboard a boat that was intended only to be used for the company party and its actual employees - let alone that Mark and Chris intend to use the company boat to pick up women at another beach party elsewhere on the lake. He speaks in a slow, stuttered voice, implying that he may have had a minor stroke some time before his introduction in the story. He likes to dress formally for public occasions - even when he is at risk of overheating. He also believes he's never too old to start life anew. He considers retirement from Sleet Mountain to be a "new beginning" for him. This is ironic, because it is the end of his life.
Bob was first put definitively into the story in mid-February of 2013; as a way of adding a Macbeth-style spin to how Clyde become the CEO of Sleet Mountain - as well as basing a lot of his operations in the Lower Northern plant (inspired by the Stanwood Ice Mountain bottling plant that was the villain in the original script for Blood Over Water: The Miniseries.) Bob was placed in the Duncan role, although Clyde was established to have been evil to begin with. He was established early-on to be an old, sickly man who was long past due for retirement. This allusion to senility would have made it more understandable as to why he would have mistaken Clyde for somebody noble. His last name was intended as a pun, while he and his father's first names were also meant as a joke. Richard "Dick" Lusital and his son Robert were "Dick and Bob," implying there were always meant to be generic. The "Lusital" surname was intended as a pun, since he gets to "lose it all" when he is murdered by George Lawence.
By February of 2014, the second chapter "Going over Priorities" was written to the novel. This chapter revealed Bob to also be prone to sweating profusely. He was given a speech impediment, implying he may have had a minor stroke some time before. Also that same month, he was made available for download for what is now The Sims 3 at DzMD.

|NOT BLOOD, relax...(strawberry smoothie stuff)
|Godspeed, you silly Northern Raccoon Procyon lotor
On Pine Hill Side, as I was heading back towards home, I was brought back twice by some odd skittering and trilling sounds I couldn't place - had me scratching my head and looking up towards the empty trees. I was about to leave for good when I happened to look into a barrel to check if there were any mosquito larvae left. I was startled to look into a pair of sad eyes, set in the soaked furball that was a Northern Raccoon. Disturbingly, it seemed to be sitting in a half-foot of bloody water, with bloody paw prints staining the sides of the barrel just short of the rim. I gave the hapless critter a visual once-over, looking for obvious wounds, but after a minute I realized that the barrel wasn't painted in gore, but rather delicious strawberry flavouring of some kind. There was a raft of Tim Horton's flotsam in the barrel, including several plastic smoothie cups – I'm guessing that's what lured the masked scavenger into its predicament.
I slowly spilled the barrel over, and the sodden raccoon at my feet looked up at me with the most 'human' of looks I've seen from an animal in some time - him all same man (read Dersu!). After sitting in a daze for a few seconds, it shuffled off, looking decidedly cold and sluggish, but otherwise okay.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas women's tennis team returns to action Friday, welcoming Old Dominion to Dills Indoor Courts. First serve is slated for 11 a.m.

Cet examen emploie une méthode d'administration qui fusionne la technologie informatique avec la théorie moderne de l'évaluation afin d'accroître l'efficacité du processus de l'examen. La vidéo explique pourquoi le NCLEX est un examen adaptatif informatisé et quel est le principe de tels examens. Les aspects couverts sont la sélection des questions et les règles de réussite/échec.

The Consensus Model for APRN Regulation - Short-Length Version
If all states adopt the requirements for the regulation of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), as outlined in the Consensus Model for APRN regulation, the benefits will be far-reaching for consumers and health care workers. Consumers will better understand who an APRN is, what an APRN does and be confident that APRNs are consistently regulated from state to state for public protection. Current and future APRNs will have confidence in knowing that they don't have to meet different licensure requirements for difference states and that their education program is accredited and preparing them appropriately for certification and licensure into their advanced role. This short-length video version provides a succinct overview of the APRN Consensus Model.
