The "councilor" Tamanend
From Charles C Counceller 6/21/1998:
I first learned of the "Kirkes Lambs" story back in the early 1970's from George Massey, a genealogist from the Kent county area, and a close friend of Donald Downs (see The Moors of Delaware By Donald VanLear Downs). I have never heard this story from any Conselar descendant. I have however heard two other stories about the origin of the Conselars.
Story #1
The earliest Conselar came from France and took an Indian woman for his wife.
The earliest Conselar was a pirate and shipwrecked off the coast of Delaware. He was a Spaniard, his wife Moorish.
In the Biographical Review of Cumberland County New Jersey 1896, in detailing the family history of Edward P. Counsellor, it states "son of Stephen Counsellor......... His grandfather, Benjamin Counsellor, was a son of Duysea Counsellor, a native of France, who came to the United States when a young man. Benjamin Counsellor was born in this country and the later years of his life were spent in Salem (NJ)"
However, it is clear that Benjamin's father was Elijah Conselar of Little Creek Hundred. See the wills records, census and land records etc.
The story from some of the Michigan Counsellers is that the earliest Conselar was from France and took an Indian woman for his wife. The Michigan Counsellers/Councilors are descended from Elisha who could be a son of Benjamin. I have heard the pirate story from at least one of the Michigan Councilors. I also have been in contact with Lee Counsellour who's origins are in the Detroit Michigan area and he, while not knowing much of his family history, states that his grandfather came out of Canada, a descendant of Asa or a similar sounding name who was from France.
Lee Counsellour believes he is the only Counsellour left in his line. I find it particularily interesting that Asa and Duysea have a similar sound. Added to this is the fact that Everett Counsellor migrated from Cumberland county NJ (?) to Canada in the 1880-1890's and was never heard from again.
The story in the Indiana Councellers is that of the pirates. I find it striking that this same pirate story is told to me by Sarah Seeney during my visit to Dover during the Bloomsbury presentation. My Indiana Councellers, left Delaware abt 1814, and left New Jersey abt 1855. As far as I know, there has been no contact with Delaware or Salem county, NJ until the 1970's when I determined we had roots there. This means this pirate story goes back 150 years or more.
There has been no contact between the Indiana and Michigan branches until very recently, yet this same story lives in the Michigan branch. Elisha migrated to Michigan abt 1862. Personally, I think any of these stories could be true, or a part of the story or even a part of each story could be fact. Myself, I think the pirate story is more believable especially given the fact pirate ships DID shipwreck off the coast of Delaware and the same basic story is being told by families which have been disconnected for at least 130 years.
Anyway, this is what I think. I hope someday we do find out for sure. I realize and understand the Indian connections but these Euro names came from someplace other than imagination.
From Ned Heite 98-06-21:
The Kirke's Lambs story is totally made up. The only place it appears is in the mind of my cousin Donald and George Valentine Massey, both of whom had fertile imaginations and well-exercised elbows. Donald went to great lengths to corroborate the military story, but never went to sources such as Virginia local records that could corroborate the actual movement of people into the Chesapeake.
Story #1, of the French (or other mediterranean) immigrant with an Indian wife fits very well with the evidence, to-wit:
1. He appears on the frontier apparently as a single man.
2. He settles in an area near the Indians.
3. If he was Catholic or Jewish, he would be unlikely to marry a Protestant, and they likewise would be
disinclined to socialize with him. There were lots of Jews with Iberian names running around the Netherlands.
4. The place where he lived, in Mitsawoket, was under Indian control when he moved there.
5. His children intermarried with at least one family of known Indian heritage.
Story #2 has some merit as folklore because it has come down unaltered from so many sources that have not been in communication. There is evidence for this as well:
1. Pirates had a way of showing up here. My own ancestor was one of Blackbeard's boys, and in 1717 when
the Virginians flushed out Ned Teach, Reynolds and his friends took their share and split. All they had to do
was declare that they were not associated with Captain Kidd and they would get amnesty.
2. Knock off the "pirate" handle and you have a swarthy Catholic settler with little money who moves to the edge
of English/Nordic society on the Delaware.
3. There were documented and undocumented shipwrecks on the coast.
On the whole, Story #1 is the best fit, followed by #2. Kirke's Lambs should march to another drummer, probably back in England.
From Chuck Counceller 3/8/98:
Of the Conselars (and variants) in the USA, it appears to me there are three original families.
1. The Delaware family.........Thomas Conselah
2. The New York family........Jacob Counsellor, sentenced to transportation from
England in 1774.
3. The Brooklyn family..........Jan De Conselyea immigrated in 1662 to Brooklyn NY
A possible 4th is the Pennsylvania family although I believe they are part of the Delaware family. I haven't done much on this line.
There is also a Thomas Councellor...sentenced to transportation from England in 1766 I have nothing further on him.
There are presently less than 200 Conselar (and variants spellings) listings on the internet phone directories. My research indicates most of the Conselars are descended from the Delaware family. From the Delaware family there are various branches ( as I call them ). They are:
Delaware branch........I find no Conselars left in DE, but probably a lot of descendants. Last common spelling...Concealor
New Jersey.......descendents of Benjamin, Charles, Thomas Sr. (Bloomsbury Thomas ?) and John.
Most commonly spelled Counsellor. John entered Salem county NJ abt 1795. Charles, Benjamin and Thomas within the 20 years. John died in 1850 at the age of 96 yrs.
Michigan......descendents of Elisha, (son of Benjamin ?)
most common spellings, Councilor and Counseller. Elisha entered Wayne county abt 1860. His son
Benjamin* married Hannah Munson (dau of Robert Munson and Jennie Lockwood) born in DE
Benjamin's* mother was Sarah Sisco.
Indiana.....descendents of Thomas Sr. and Mary ( ? ). Mary, widow of Thomas Sr (he died 1853 Salem County) buried in New Castle, died 1871. Her sons, Thomas and Elijah, also buried in New Castle.
Ohio......descendents of William Henry Counsellor and Temperance Garton (Girton) to Auglaize county Ohio in 1835. They had 13 children, two sons where killed in Civil War. Their son Elias became Presiding Elder of United Brethren Church.
Pennsylvania...theory only
According to Maybelle Bordley, Benjamin Simons had two brothers who went to Michigan, and she thinks Benjamin did too before 1860..This very well makes sense to me, because Elisha Councilor (connection to Edward Conceilor not established, but I think they could have been brothers) is in Van Buren, Wayne county Michigan in 1860. I don't have an index for these years in Michigan but a person might find them together or nearby. Elisha Councilor, 1860 Michigan, M653-564 p.20. Elisha is thought to be a son of Benjamin Conselar (son of Elijah Conselar and Hannah Durham.
Edward Conceilor married Prudence Tammons, Sammons or Simons, sister of Benjamin Simons.
All of these stories are some day going to fall into place. Two of the Michigan Counsellers, descendants of Elisha Councilor, have told me of their remembering going on a trip with their grandmother to visit a dying relative who lived on an Indian reservation. I believe this area was around St. Ignace which is on the upper peninsula right at the straits of Mackinac. They were young at the time, one now is 79 the other is 71, and naturally didn't question what was going on. But the dying person told the grandmother that this would be the last time to see each other. There was some mention of the grave site being "right inside the gate" at the local cemetery.
The family story passed down in the Michigan families is that their earliest ancestor in MI came out of Canada with an Indian wife and settled in MI. I have been writing to a fellow by the name of Lee Counsellour who believes he is the last of the Counsellours and that his earliest ancestor in MI came out Canada and was of French blood. His name was thought to be Acea or something similar. He thought that his grandfather was born in Wayne county MI.
Back in the early 1970's, I visited a George Counsellor in Bridgeton NJ who told me his grandfather had a brother named Everett who left NJ and went to Sherbrooke, Canada. If you look at a map, it seems to be a natural road of travel from Cherbrook to the Detroit area.
One NJ county biographical history, in RE to Edward P. Counsellor, states his grandfather was Benjamin Counsellor who's father was Duysea Counsellor who came from Alsace, France. Benjamin's father was in fact Elijah (D1801) Conselar of Kent county. ( Unless there is actually a second Benjamin.) But notice Duysea could become Acea to someone who only heard this a few times.
It seems each branch of the Conselars have a different family story as to the origin of the earliest Conselar ancestor.

From Charles C Counceller 98-05-26
RE: Parents of Elijah CONSELAR d 1801: no proof exists that I am aware of, however I believe his father was William. William is the most logical and really I believe, is the only one available for the correct period of time. And I believe this William is the son of Thomas d1726 and the grandson of Thomas who d 1739. Wish I did have proof.
I have, over the past 15 months or so gained much much info and insight into this family thanks to Chuck Martin and also the present day descendents (of which I am a self-appointed collector of info) . However, I must admit, my proven line of Conselars is no furthur back than I had it 30 years ago. I know a lot more but am still looking for that evidence which shows me who Thomas Counsellor Sr d1853 Salem Co., NJ, is descended from (this is the Bloomsbury Thomas). It could be John or it could be William or ? I am descended as follows
Thomas Counsellor Sr. D1853
Thomas Councellor Jr D1871
Arthur Counceller D 1941
Thomas Counceller Sr. D 1979

From Charles R. Martin 98-03-29
I was very perplexed about Jesse Dean's comment in his 1839 will that " I give to Elijah Concealer the pieced bed quilt upstairs which was made by his mother my last wife." This bothered me so much that I had to examine the original and this I did. In the will there is no other mention of his last wife and there is no surviving spouse mentioned or even referred to in an indirect manner. This means that his last wife had preceeded him in death and she had died prior to 1839.
I know that excellent documentation exists for the Elijah Counsellor family line that lived in and around Cheswold. I reexamined my data for this group of Counsellors and have come to the following conclusions.
I believe the Elijah Concealer referred to in Jesse Dean's will of 1839 is the son of Jeremiah (d 1811) and Elizabeth (unknown) Concealer. Elizabeth (unknown) married 1st Jeremiah Concealer (d 1811), 2nd she married Elijah Concealer (d 1825) who was a brother to Jeremiah, and 3rd she married Jesse Dean (d 1839).
I have no reference data on which I can base or conclude anything about the first two marriages of Jesse to 1) Elizabeth Durham and 2) Rebecca (unknown). Assuming these are correct then the Jesse who died in 1839 married three times: 1st Elizabeth Durham, 2nd Rebecca (unknown) and 3rd Elizabeth (unknown) Concealer Concealer. Elizabeth (unknown) also marries three times: 1st Jeremiah Concealer, 2nd Elijah Concealor and 3rd Jesse Dean.
The Ester (Hester) Concealer who married Jesse Dean on 29 Aug 1814 is a daughter of Jeremiah (d 1811) and Elizabeth. This Jesse dies ca 1815-16 and Ester marries Elisha Durham. This Ester (Hester) can not be the wife of the Jesse Dean who died in1839. According to Ned Heite and I have no reason to doubt Ned, there are four Jesse Deans alive during the time period of our interest. Maybe someone can straighten us out on the Jesses.
To all in the group (and new readers!), please feel free to make any comments, corrections or suggestions to any of the items I have discussed or proposed.
From Charles C Counceller 98-06-22:
I have one reservation about posting the file. This is the possible error in the connecting Elisha as a son of Benjamins. This was a best solution put forward by a genealogist hired by Ted Councilor (one of the MI Councilors) several years ago.
I, like Chuck Martin, believe this to be wrong. Who Elisha's father is, I don't know. Chuck thinks it is William. At this time, I have a Michigan Counseller trying to find some death info on Elisha (he died in Gratiot county MI in 1864 [taking from memory here])
However, this file does contains some info on Stephens family etc which your file does not have. So if you wish, I'll send it AS IS, just keep in mind the Elisha. Also many of the notes and proofs are not yet entered. I did notice we don't quite agree on the children of John Durham's. I got mine from the will record mostly.
Joyce Counseller of Saginaw, MI, a descendant of Elisha, found this info recently.
Elisha Councilor m Rebecca Dean. Proof of her maiden name as Dean is listed on her marriage record when she remarried after Elisha's death. She married Mitchell Perkins 3 16 1872 in Fulton, MI. He was a farmer from Canton, Wayne county MI. They are both listed as colored and both listed as being from DELAWARE. She was 45 yrs and he was 57 yrs at time of marriage. They were married by W. R. Price, JP; witnesses were George Price and Finley Dodge
Joyce's address is Joyce Counseller
715 Tulane
This is a very interesting piece of information. The fact that both Rebecca and Mitchell Perkins were both from DE sent me looking. I find Mitchell Perkins in the DE 1840 census living in Appoquinimink Hundred. He is listed on page 324. Also in the DE 1840 census, living in Appoquinimink Hundred AND ON PAGE 324 IS ELISHA COUNSELLOR.
This is another indication these families moved with their relatives and/or neighbors to new locations.
From Chuck Counceller 3/14/98:
I believed the Hester Conselar info which is in the Dean family history which was put out by Betty and Ray Terry was incorrect. However, I am beginning to think this may be correct and that what we are looking at is a different Jesse Dean.
This 1839 will of Jesse Dean does not mention a son Jerimiah. It may be that the Hester Conselar, dau of Jerimiah is a different Hester than the one in the 1839 will. It may be that the Elijah Counselar mentioned in the 1839 will is actually the son of Jesse Deans second wife.
The will states '"HIS MOTHER MY LAST WIFE" Jesse was alive when he wrote this will. I think what he might have meant by LAST was not Ester but Rebecca, for at that time of writing the will, Rebecca was his LAST, meaning previous, wife.
According to my interpretation of the will of Jerimiah Conselar, 1811:
Hester (Ester) was the daughter of Jerimiah Conselar and Elizabeth ............ She first married Jesse Dean and had one son, Jerimiah Dean. Jesse died and she then married Elisha Durham. They had 10 children. Hester died in 1840. So this clearly is a different Jesse Dean. Hester could not have remarried in 1839, have 10 childen and die in 1840.
With Elisha, Hester had Joel, Isaac, Elijah, John, Elizabeth, David, Mary, Heste, Ann and Clayton(who died underage)
It would be good if another person interpreted it also.
The only Elijah I have living in 1839 is Hester's brother.
From Ned Heite:
This morning I received a package of information from Chuck Counceller about his ancestor, Thomas Conselor (1784-1853). I have no doubt whatever that Thomas is the same person whose house we excavated at Bloomsbury.
A Thomas was listed as living on the Bloomsbury property at the death of the owner, Francis Denney, in 1812. Francis Denney was the executor of John Durham, who died in 1788. Two of his daughters were wives of Conselors: Elijah and Thomas.
Elijah's homestead was on the east end of the Durham land near the mouth of Alston's Branch. Elijah died in 1801 and left sons Jeremiah, Elijah, and Benjamin.
The Ridgely letter Chuck cited contains lots of clues. The other Ridgely farm was Fox Hall, immediately adjacent to Jolley's Neck, the Handsor home place, and usually tenanted by people of the Cheswold community. If Thomas Conselor was the son of the tenant on Fox Hall, there should be little trouble identifying his father, just by the Ridgely accounts.
The Ridgely farm that the Conselor brothers wanted to rent was Hillyard's Adventure, immediately east of Bloomsbury. In fact, Patrick Conner, an earlier tenant on Bloomsbury, tried to take out a patent on part of Hillyard's Adventure.
The information about the nineteenth-century Elisha Conselor who married Sarah Sisco is interesting,since both were from the community we are researching, and they probably were related.
The timing is right for Thomas Conselor to have found his wife in New Jersey, rather than Delaware. He was evicted rather colorfully in 1814. He had rented some land of Samuel Conner, and Abraham Allee, Francis Denney's son in law and owner of Bloomsbury, grabbed the harness of his horse and stopped him from plowing. The Thompson brothers from across the creek then came in and plowed the ground, knocking down Conselor's fence in the process.
Fences were a political issue in those days, and by putting a fence around his field Conselor was identifying himself as a progressive farmer.
Chuck, you say that Thomas Conselor, born in 1828, married Mary Elen Dunham in Salem, New Jersey. Are you sure that name wasn't Durham? Be sure.
Your research is extremely interesting, and fills in a lot of gaps for me in the history of the people who lived at Bloomsbury. I think it's pretty evident that you are a descendant of the man I studied. I can't tell you much except that he had good taste in ceramics and I may even know his shoe size.
Thomas Conselor, the first of the line, probably was the tenant who "seated" Griffith Jones' tract on the north bank of Little Creek, which would place it somewhere along Division Street (North Little Creek Road) in Dover, at the south end of Little Creek Hundred.
Once the patentee's claim to a tract had been perfected by "seating," the tenant who seated the farm would get his piece of the action. Sometimes, several men would club together as "mates" to establish a farm on the frontier. Well, guys alone on the frontier, eating their own cooking, the rest is history.
The chief of the Lenape who led them from Indiana into Missouri had a white father and an Indian mother. The white father stayed in Indiana with his white wife, and the Indian wife moved west with the Indian son. The Conners who stayed behind in Indiana started Connersville, where Chuck lives.
It's interesting that the material Chuck sent me from the [white] history of Connersville makes only passing mention of the "other" family. The history I have read from the Lenape end of the story makes the half-Indian Conner into a hero. He was all Lenape, of course, because his mother alone bestowed that status. And he had a very distinguished career leading the people who eventually settled in Bartlesville and don't answer their mail, either snail or e.
So where did Thomas Consela get a wife? Picture yourself about to start a winter in a makeshift cabin on the frontier.
From Ned Heite
Chuck, thanks again for your information about Thomas Consealor. You have sent me off looking at various new research direction.
While putting away the files from the Bloomsbury project, I reviewed the store accounts from the Coombe and Allee stores in Smyrna, John Conselor went to Jonathan Allee's store in Smyrna August 31, 1810, and bought four pounds of sugar and two pounds of coffee for a dollar. He later bought a blanket, 3 yards of cloth, and two combs for $5.335.
On June 30, John came into the store and charged to the account of Thomas a batch of similar goods. He bought six pounds of sugar, two pounds of coffee, a half gallon of rum, a quarter pound of snuff and three yards of muslin. On his own account, John bought a set of cups and saucers for 50 cents, and a pair of shoes for a buck fifty.
In 1811, a David Conselor was also an active customer at Allee's store.
Robert Coombes described Thomas as a mulatto, but Allee did not. He went to the Coombes store June 29, 1813 and bought china for £5/9/9.5, which was a lot of money. On February 3, 1814, Coombes posted the constable's collection of Conselor's store debt.
So who were Thomas, David, and John? John clearly was related somehow closely to Thomas. I have not been able to find any of these names in the probate records of any of the Conselors I have checked. Yet you have evidence that the Conselor brothers had a local father who had been a tenant on one of the Ridgely farms, and that Thomas wanted to rent the Hillyards Adventure farm next to Bloomsbury in 1805.
So who was the father of Thomas Conselor of Bloomsbury?
The only Conselor of the period for whom I don't have a list of children is Thomas, the son-in-law of John Durham. He appears in the 1782 state census as having two nonwhites in his household. Thomas of Bloomsbury was born a couple of years later, maybe they are the parents.
From Ned Heite 98-02-18
Chuck Counceller has set the juices flowing. Looking at his notes I am wondering if Thomas Conselor (1784-1843) of Bloomsbury and later Elsinboro Township was the son of John (c1753-1849) of Kent County and later Salem.
Has anyone looked at the wills and estate papers in Salem County of these two individuals? As soon as I mail this letter I am going to the Delaware Archives to take a look at some other items Chuck has suggested.
Jean Consiglio in 1767 left her estate to Dr. Charles Ridgely, who owned Fox Hall in Murderkill Hundred. Dr. Ridgely's widow considered renting her Hillyard's Adventure site to Thomas and his brother. In that correspondence it was revealed that Thomas was the son of a former tenant on another Ridgely farm. The other Ridgely farm was Fox Hall. John appears in Murderkill Hundred in the records when he lived in Delaware.

No. I think Thomas was the son of John. Benjamin was the son of the Elijah who died in 1801. Rachel was a Sparkman
>David (mall) Maule m. Sally Counselor 7-28-1797.
Sally was the daughter of John. The Maull family were watermen. There is a Maull family in Sussex County who were pilots. I think Miah Maull shoals in the bay take their name from this family.
John Conselor (c. 1753-1849) supplied brick for repair of the kitchen at Loockerman Hall, now on the Delaware State University campus, in 1791, according to a Loockerman guardian account. The Loockerman farm was immediately adjacent to Fox Hall. I haven't found him mentioned in the Ridgely estate accounts dealing with that farm. They list the rents, but not the tenants.
When the Loockerman estate was divided in 1791, Daniel Durham and Benjamin Durham were chain carriers for the surveyor. This is the Benjamin (d. 1810), son of the Daniel who died in 1786, and his brother (d. 1815).
Jane Consiglio, wife of Francis and widow of John Bibbin, hatter, died in Dover in 1765 and left everything to Dr. Charles Ridgely. I don't know why her husband is left out, but one can guess. Dr. Ridgely owned Fox Hall.
Back in 1974, I had hired a researcher in Delaware to help with the Conselar lineage. Due to having 4 kids under 7 and a limited income, I didn't have much money to spend, so the amount of research I could afford was very limited. The researcher I hired was George Massey II. Among the information he sent me was a copy of a typewritten letter from Donald VanLear Downs of Downs Chapel, Delaware. The letter was dated August 10, 1960. Who the letter was originally addressed to is unknown to me. Maybe you have seen this, but here it is, just as it was written.
> > THE MOORS OF DELAWARE by Donald Downs
> > Charles II of England married Catharine of Braganza (Portugal) on April 23, (etc, etc)
Donald Downs was a distant cousin of mine, so I can say it.
His story just doesn't hold water. There are too many places along the trail where records would have been created and kept.
Personally, I prefer "Occam's Razor," which states that the simplest answer is probably correct.
I spent yesterday in Salem, NJ, sorting out some loose ends from both the Nathan Williams and Bloomsbury. Some saintly person at the historical society has hand-indexed the 1850 census. Here are the Counsellor households. I find several things interesting, first of which is an apparent racial dichotomy among groups of households.
It's my understanding that some of the descendant families claim white ancestry from a French progenitor, and indeed we have a German ancestry for Benjamin, William and Mary. I'm fascinated by the households with "mulatto" husbands and "white" wives.
In parentheses, I have noted the apparent year of birth, obtained by subtracting the age from 1850. Let's study these lists and determine what they mean about racial perceptions among these families. Are there several unrelated families, or related families perceived differently by the census takers? And who is Alexander? Why did he move to Elsinboro Township from Pennsylvania?
Given the abundance of documentation, it appears to me that the family would be an excellent study subject for someone researching race perception origins.

Will try to help with the various families of the Counsellors in Salem county. Going down the 1850 census list, above:
Stephen is the son of Benjamin (d1846 the son of Elijah d 1801) married Catherine Baker (from Germany)
other children born after 1850:
John...living in 1896
Adeline m Thomas Orton
Kate m George Curry
David is the son of Charles & Rhoda Hogate he m Sarah Finlaw (Finley)
other chilren:
Ruth m .....Mason
Joan m......Powell
Georgeann m Alexander Lounsbury
David Smith Jr. m Emma Lamblack
Louise m .......Schultz
James is the son of Charles(same Chas above) and Margaret Teel
James m Eleanor Curtis
the Elanor you have listed next on your list is James wife and children. My notes from reading census microfilm does not indicate any break in census listing
John and Mary A.
John is the son of Thomas Sr (Bloomsbury) m Mary Ann Barnett
other children:
Elizabeth b abt 1851
Malissa b abt 1854 m William Wilson
Thomas b abt 1856 m Lillie Crowley
Powell b abt 1858

(son Morris died in Muncie, In 1926
Samuel is the son of Charles and Margaret Teel Counsellor. He m Emily Councillor
Others I can't ID..I have tried for a long time but can't get very many of the present day families to respond to my letters. Much of this info comes from family bibles and printed sources. I believe Benjamin(son of Elijah d1801) has some of his clan in the Bridgeton area, 1850s on.
Maybe the Rachael aged 73 is actually Rachel Counsellor Jones, dau of John d1850. One other Counseller I have not seen the census on is Jerimiah Counseller 1850 New Jersey, Middlesex county Woolbridge twnp page 039.
There are several Counsellers in the PA 1850 census which I have not looked at. I have the page numbers,countys etc.
Chuck brings up some interesting points. The progenitor of the Kent County, Delaware family (and therefore the New Jersey family) was almost certainly Thomas, a landowner who farmed in Little Creek Neck during the seventeenth century. He is something of an enigma, but only because everyone else is. The records simply do not exist in Delaware.
A profitable line of inquiry would be to seek a connection with the Brooklyn immigrant. I say this because the local seventeenth-century records for the New York area are excellent, many of them published.
Many Delaware families moved here during the period just before Penn's 1682 takeover. Since Delaware was part of New Netherland and then New York, it should come as no surprise that so many Dutch families had connections in both colonies. To name just a few, there were the Loockermans, Bayards, Comegys, Hermans, and Lowbers.
The Consealor trail here in Delaware is cold, but has anyone looked for Thomas in another colony. like New York or Barbados?
Chuck Martin from Ohio was here doing some archives research. I finally, I believe, convinced him that Thomas Gonseala, who arrived in Kent County a little after 1680 was the first Thomas Conselor. In his probate record, his name is spelled with a G, and his administratrix, almost certainly his widow, spells her name with a C.
We keep running into interesting race perception things All the Consealors in Duck Creek and Little Creek hundreds were "Negro" in the 1803 statewide property tax assessment. Over in New Jersey, in the Salem County 1850 census returns, the Consealor men are all described as mulattoes. Their wives are described as white.
Does this difference in perceived status and race have anything to do with the exodus to New Jersey during the early nineteenth century? Thomas Consealor of Bloomsbury was the only "mulatto" in one of the store accounts of circa 1809-1814.
We had correspondence earlier this week from a Williams descendant, whose grandfather Williams was supposed to be an Indian. He lived in the Harrington area of lower Kent County, and pictures seem to indicate that he was indeed Indian, even though his marriage license (in 1900) described him and his wife as white. He moved around, working as a telegraph operator and a truck farmer.
I am pursuing the Williams trail because I am trying to nail down Nathan Williams, who occupied our site on McKee Road in Dover. He was alleged to be a "Free Negro" in a document dated 1838, but if so he was the only black Williams in Kent County. I figure he was born about 1800.
Well, now here is what is interesting about the Williams family. First, there was a Williams marriage in a Cheswold family at about the period of Nathan's birth. There were other individuals named Williams in the vicinity before 1800, but I have not been able to nail them down, But Williams was also an Indian name in Maryland. The Piscataway/Conoy told Cara Blume and me about an Indian named Williams who refused to vacate some tribal land on the Western Shore in the 1730s.
There was a John Williams who was an Indian living on the Locust Neck reservation in 1757. I have the funniest feeling that it will be necessary to sew together all these threads of Williamses.
John C. Carter wrote:
One of my current goals is to gather documentation to establish two (possibly three) ancestors through the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution).
William Conselor is a problem to me. Are you aware that the first deed John Durham granted was to William Conselor, in 1756? I've been ignoring the purchase of the huge Steele tract, in which Durham's partner was one Sterling. Then I have found a later reference to people named Sterling as nonwhites.
We don't know the names, necessarily, of the mother(s) of John Durham's children. We know only the name of one mother-in-law. If I am correct, she was well connected by virtue of her work as a midwife. So who are these Sterling people? Where did the money come from? For that matter, where did John come from?
As for the Conselor ancestry, I'm trying to find the father of Thomas, who may be John.
The Delaware Archives volumes may be the printed version. You can address inquiries to the Archives search room directly by email. I believe it is archives@state.de.us. Go to the state home page (www.state.de.us), and they have a bunch of stuff online.
The connection to Tammany or Tamanend is shaky at best. The Conselor family in Kent County were there, and using that name (spelt Gonsela) at about the same time as Penn and Tammany were hammering out their treaties. There are names derived from Indian titles, and Sockum is probably the most prominent.
From Lynn Jackson 8/5/1998
Have you seen Williams probate records? I was transcribing them to add to my webpage and it looks to me like in 2 places he's called "Junr."
IF this was the grandson alluded to by Thomas Conselah in his 1739 will , then perhaps he was not Mary's son, but the son of a previously deceased son, William. But then why would he be called "Junr." over 40 years later???? Could there have been another William Concilor wandering around ? If so, which one was married to Mary and the neighbor/friend of John Durham Sr. ????
Also at the bottom of this William's accounting...crossed out.... it says :
"By cloathing and supporting Whittenton Conselor 2 1/2 years at (blank)"
"By Do..William Conselor from his Birth 2 1/2 years at (blank) "
Was there yet a third William Concilor ??????
Still haven't been able to firmly connect John Durham's Concilor son-in-laws with William and Mary.
Went and looked at the file of William Conselor today. They have all the probate documents in the same folder now, and it is very interesting. The bond was signed by William and John Durham. William signed, while John made a mark. Administration letters issued May 1, 1780. Inventory was written 3 May 1780, by Jacob Stout and James Starling.
Jacob Stout owned the later Denney farm, where DelTech college now stands. This Jacob Stout, the elder, was originally a Tory, but with some of his conservative friends turned to the Continental cause and served in the
legislature before he died about five years after taking this inventory. His son, Jacob, was acting governor in 1820. His daughter, Mrs. Cowgill, started a school for colored people on the Stout farm between Cheswold and
Leipsic. The school was burned twice during the Civil War. The younger (Governor) Jacob Stout was business partner of John Pleasanton, who owned the McKee Road property.
James Starling was a partner with John Durham in a huge land purchase from which Durham parcelled out several farms to his sons-in-law. I know nothing about Starling, but his heirs were quite well fixed.
William Conselor's final account was passed November 26, 1783, about two and a half years after his death. That would explain the references to two and a half years. I would guess that Whittenton and William were young sons of this William.
This William died forty years after the death of Thomas. That's a long long time between the death of a demonstrably very old grandfather and a grandson who has a baby son. I'd guess that the earlier William must have been ten years old by the time of this grandfather's will, or born before 1730.
May I suggest yet another William?
1. The grandson William mentioned in Thomas Conselah's will
2. His son, William Junior, who died in 1780, born around 1750-1760.
3. William the third, born in 1780.
I suggest you send this one to Indiana for review. The name Whittenton tells us that the William who died in 1780 was somehow related to the Durhams, since all the Whittentons so far have been Durhams or their close
relatives.
This still doesn't tell me who Thomas Conselor's father was. I would guess that the stuff was scratched out because it was not an allowable cost. If the widow was alive, she would not be entitled to care for the children unless there was a landed estate to tap for the funds.
From Charles Martin 8/10/98
I don't have the answer to the William Concilor dilemma.
Concerning the comment about Thomas Conselah's grandson William: ... If this was the grandson alluded to by Thomas Conselah in his 1739 will, then perhaps he was not Mary's son but the son of a previously deceased son, .... I have asked myself the same thing.
I believe it is possible. Maybe additional documents will be found to help us clarify this idea. Even if the proof is lacking, as it is on so many of our ancestral lines, everyone is free to express their own hypothesis and for this reason parts of our genealogical novels will remain just hypotheses that reflect how the authors choose to portray the unproven lineage.
From Charles C Counceller 8/6/1998:
I can see we have revived an ongoing problem, how to seperate the repeated names and figure out who is who. I think Ned is close to correct on his conclusion.
There are more Williams (Conselor) than we think.
There is a William mentioned in the 1739 will.
There is the William in the will of 1780
There is the William who gave wheat to the cause in 1781.
There is also a William alive in Sussex county in 1860, born in 1795
This is what I think:
Thomas, died 1739, mentions grandson William in will
Thomas, son of above, father of William, died 1726
his son William born abt 1725
William's son William Jr born abt 1745, died 1780
William Jr's son William born abt 1765, gave wheat to cause in 1781.
William of Sussex(1860) a son of 1765 William ?
I have nothing really to back this up except deductions.
The William mentioned in William Jr's will of 1780 must have been a teenager at that time, for we have the wheat given in 1781.
I am still trying to understand the probate adm of Jermiah and Mary E. Concealor, both of 1867. They were brother and sister along with Elijah, who was the only surviving brother in 1868. This adm. mentions "1/9, Jermiah's share" SHARE OF WHAT ESTATE ? If we knew this, might be able to piece together a family.
Charles Chuck Charlie Chas Counceller
Oh, dear, Chuck,
We have been through that before. The answer is "Elijah Conselor." He left five children, and from there forward, there is a Dickens novel set in rural Kent County, Delaware. The ninth share is Jeremiah's share of his father's estate. Don't reopen. I don't think any of us has been able to figure out what happened, except that there are a lot of rich lawyers in Kent County.
JOHN GONSALOES Accomack Tithables for 1663-1695
From Lynn Jackson 8/19/1998:
I have a copy of the Accomack Tithables for 1663-1695 and found some interesting names:
JNO FRANCISCO appears in 1674, 1675, 1676 ( as a negro), 1677, 1678, 1679, 1680, 1681, 1682, 1683, 1684 ( with a wife), 1685, 1686 (as a negro), 1687, 1688, 1689, 1690, 1691, 1692, 1693 and 1695.
JOHN GONSALOES appears in the 1674, 1675 (as Consalues), 1676 ( as Gonsaloos), and in 1676 ( as Gonsolvoe)
If anybody has any names they'd like me to look up for them, please let me know.
Looks like a winner to me. Who wants to chase this thread? Right names, right place, right time. In a word, Lynn, this is the best possibility yet. Looks like three more spellings of Conselor offhand.
From Ned Heite 9/7/98
While going through the 1850 Talbot County, Maryland, census on another errand, I noticed two items that might be useful to someone:
James Conselor, no race given, aged 30, farmer, born in Delaware. Apparent wife, Darrus, born in Maryland
Lewis Coker, aged 65, mulatto, born in Maryland, apparent wife Elizabeth and children all listed as black.
Preston Sammons and I have been discussing the marriage record of Edward Concellor who married Prudence Tammons in Kent Co on 3 Feb 1848.
My initial assumption was made last winter when I was reviewing the 1850 census. I noticed Edward and Prudy Consedar were enumerated with a Benjamin Samons. My assumption then was Benjamin was a brother to Prudence. I am still of this opinion for the following reasons.
In old style cursive writing capital letters S and T are practically impossible to tell apart on some peoples writing. Because of this, I examined a photostat of the marriage record while I was at the Dover archives. On the photostat it is clearly written as Tammons.
Even this hasn't changed my mind. I believe Prudence is a Sammons. The photostat may not be a copy of the original record. It could be a copy of a record that had been transcribed incorrectly from the original. If the photostat is indeed a copy of the original record, the clerk could have copied what he thought was a T, which was in reality a S, from the license or minister's marriage report that was returned for recording.
Also the name Benjamin plays a prominent pattern in Preston's Sammons family genealogy.
What do you think? Comments, corrections and suggestions are welcomed.
From Rick Counsellor <rcounsel@northland.lib.mi.us>June 28, 1998
I was recently reading a book published in 1961, The American Heritage Book of Indians, and came across a passage describing the treaty meetings between the Delaware and the Quaker leader William Penn. This passage contained this sentence:
"The most famous Delaware leader at these meetings was the councilor Tamanend..."
I realize the use of the title "councilor" in this kind of publication doesn't necessarily indicate a native origin of the term, but it caused me to consider the ssibility. Have you considered this, including the possibility that our family name, whether European or native in origin, was a name or title adapted by our Native ancestors for the purpose of assimilation into the white society? I haven't noticed much discussion of this idea by members of The List, and was curious about the current thought on the issue.
As always, the dialogue on the list continues to be enlightening and informative. I just finished visiting the Lenni Lenape Historical website mentioned by several of the list members, and will be going back to it again soon. Also, who would be a good source of information about Lenni Lenape cultural symbols and their meanings? I would like to be able to adapt some of them as adornments on my canoes, hunting equipment, etc., in honor of my ancestory unless this would be considered inappropriate. Any information that you can provide would be appreciated.

Max Walker
Max Walker AM (1948–2016) was one of a small group of sportsmen to have played both senior VFL/AFL football and Test cricket. Having gained a diploma in architecture from RMIT, he played 94 senior games as a ruckman with the Melbourne Football Club from 1967 to 1972 before turning to cricket. Over a cricketing career of thirteen years, he played 70 first-class games for Victoria, and 28 Tests for Australia, taking 138 wickets as a medium-pace bowler and earning the nickname 'Tangles' for his unorthodox bowling action. Described as 'one of the unlikeliest-looking elite sportsmen of the modern era', he opted for a media career on retiring from cricket, working for the ABC for four years before joining Channel 9 as a member of the network's cricket commentary team and later as a panellist and presenter for The Footy Show and Nine's Wide World of Sport. In addition, over a thirty year period, Walker authored some 14 books, including bestselling toilet-toppers such as How to hypnotise chooks, How to puzzle a python and How to tame lions, and the 1976 autobiography Tangles. In later life he was a patron of a number of charities, including the Lighthouse Foundation for homeless youth. In June 2011, Walker was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to sport and the community.

Joseph Ignaz Ritter (auch [Josef] Ignaz Ritter; * 12. April 1787 in Schweinitz, Fürstentum Liegnitz; † 5. Januar 1857 in Breslau, Provinz Schlesien) war ein deutscher römisch-katholischer Theologe und Kirchenhistoriker.

Werdegang
Joseph Ignaz Ritter, Sohn eines Volksschullehrers, besuchte das Glogauer Gymnasium und studierte ab 1806 Katholische Theologie an der Universität Breslau. Nach der Priesterweihe 1811 wurde er Kaplan an Kirchen in der Diözese Breslau, später an der St.-Hedwigs-Kirche in Berlin. Daneben studierte er an der Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Theologie und Anthropologie. 1821 promovierte er an der Breslauer Universität zum Dr. theol. In seiner Dissertation übersetzte er einen griechischen Text von Johannes Chrysostomos.

1823 erhielt er den Lehrstuhl für Kirchengeschichte und Patrologie an der Universität Bonn. Neben Vorlesungen zur Pastoraltheologie und Biblischer Exegese begann er die Arbeit an seinem Hauptwerk, dem mehrbändigen Handbuch der Kirchengeschichte.

In Bonn machte er Bekanntschaft mit dem Theologen Georg Hermes und dem nach Hermes benannten Hermesianismus. 1830 kehrte er an die Universität Breslau zurück, wo er mehrfach Dekan der Theologischen Fakultät und 1835/36 Rektor war. Daneben war er weiterhin als Seelsorger tätig.

Am 1. Dezember 1840 wurde er als Bistumsverweser zum Kapitularvikar des Erzbistums Breslau ernannt, wobei er gegenüber Papst Gregor XVI. eine romtreue Haltung einnahm und sich wohl Hoffnungen auf das vakante Breslauer Bischofsamt machte. Diese wurden jedoch – wegen des Widerstands einzelner Mitglieder des Domkapitels – nicht erfüllt. Zum neuen Bischof wurde 1843 Joseph Knauer gewählt, der Ritter zu seinem Generalvikar ernannte. Dieses Amt verlor er jedoch schon 1844 nach Knauers Tod. 1845 kehrte er auf seine Breslauer Professur zurück und wurde am 15. April 1846 von Melchior von Diepenbrock zum Domdechanten ernannt.

Ignaz Ritter war Abgeordneter in der Ersten Kammer zu Berlin und hatte einen Sitz im Erfurter Unionsparlament. Außerdem war er in der katholischen Vereinsbewegung aktiv.

I spotted this great blue heron several mornings on my way to work. I got up early on a Saturday morning to try and get a good picture of it. This great blue heron was slightly obscured in the reeds alongside the pond.

THE CANADIAN PRESS -- OTTAWA - A new federal government report shows that Ottawa's emissions-cutting efforts have barely made a dent to date.
The report says emissions policies led to a four-megatonne reduction in greenhouse gases in 2009, leaving total emissions at 694 megatonnes.
That means federal measures reduced emissions by a little more than one half of one per cent.
Federal policies are expected to be slightly more effective in the coming years, but emissions themselves are outpacing policy.
Environment Minister Peter Kent has said the big federal moves on greenhouse gases are still to come, with regulations for coal-fired electricity plants and the oilsands expected over the next couple of years.

"Infected" is the second episode of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us. The episode was written by series co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by co-creator Neil Druckmann, the writer and creative director of the 2013 video game on which the series is based. It aired on HBO on January 22, 2023. In the episode, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and his partner Tess (Anna Torv) escort the young Ellie (Bella Ramsey) through a biological contamination area in Boston to reach the Massachusetts State House.

"Infected" was Druckmann's first experience in directing television; he found it reinforced and reflected his experience in directing video games. The episode introduced "clickers", mutated creatures who rely on sound to move, designed using prosthetics with the game's concept art as reference material. Filming for the episode took place in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta, in October and November 2021. The episode received positive reviews, with praise for its writing, direction, production design, and performances, particularly Torv's. It was watched by 5.7 million viewers on the first day.

Plot
In 2003, authorities in Jakarta show Ratna Pertiwi (Christine Hakim), a mycology professor, a sample from a human, which she identifies as Ophiocordyceps. Lieutenant-General Agus Hidayat () shows Ratna a corpse of a woman with a human bite mark on its leg and fungal growths in its mouth. He informs Ratna the woman was killed after biting her co-workers at a flour factory, while other co-workers are missing. Ratna remarks the location provides an excellent substrate for the fungus, adds there is no cure or vaccine for the infection, and recommends bombing Jakarta to contain the outbreak.

In 2023, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Tess (Anna Torv) hold Ellie (Bella Ramsey) at gunpoint and demand to know why they were tasked with escorting her. Ellie reveals the Fireflies have established a secret camp out west with doctors working on a vaccine to prevent infection, and her DNA may be key to ensuring success. Joel demands they return to the quarantine zone but Tess, still skeptical of Ellie's immunity, nonetheless convinces him to follow through with their arrangement as the Fireflies will still give them supplies.

As the group makes its way towards the Massachusetts State House, Tess discovers a pack of infected blocking their route, explaining to Ellie the fungi can sense uninfected humans across long distances and draw its hosts towards them. Tess suggests going through a museum. A roof cave-in attracts two "clickers", mutated hosts who rely on sound to move. Ellie gets bitten and Joel and Tess kill the clickers. Arriving at the State House, they find the Fireflies dead; Joel finds evidence of infection and surmises they killed each other. Tess tries to find clues on where to go next, but Joel tells her the job is finished and they will return home. Tess tells him that she cannot go back, revealing a bite mark on her neck. She reveals Ellie's mark has already healed, proving her immunity.

Joel shoots an infected Firefly who tries to attack them, revealing their location to other infected hosts in the city. Tess tells Joel to take Ellie to fellow smugglers Bill and Frank. She covers the room with gasoline and grenades as Joel and Ellie leave. An infected man begins the process of converting Tess when she ignites the building, killing the creatures. Joel and Ellie watch as the State House explodes before Joel walks away.

Production

Conception and writing

The Last of Us series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann respectively wrote and directed "Infected"; Druckmann was the writer and creative director of the video game on which the series is based. The Directors Guild of Canada revealed Druckmann was assigned to direct an episode in September 2021; in February 2022, Druckmann confirmed he directed an episode and said his experience reinforced and reflected his experience in directing games. He previously predicted the experience would be significantly different than directing games, but noted several similarities after witnessing Mazin direct the first episode. He found the biggest difference was the inability to make changes after production; in game development, he is able to request changes to factors such as framing, lighting, clothing, environments and weather. He spent over a month preparing for the episode as it was his first experience in directing television. Pascal considered Druckmann the most open and excited of the show's directors, and Ramsey found his feedback believable due to his proximity to the source material. In January 2023, it was revealed Druckmann directed the second episode. Rotten Tomatoes listed the episode's title in December 2022 as "Cordyceps Ordo Seclorum"; Mazin clarified it was "an early idea" that was later replaced as "it doesn't really make much sense".

An early version of the cold open featured an unseen individual hitting a door, later revealed to be Tess's infected son who she locked in a basement as she was unable to kill him; it was cut before production as the writers felt it did not fit. Torv and the writers thought Tess's decision to keep Ellie safe was to redeem past actions in her life. Mazin ultimately set the cold open in Indonesia to disorient the audience, a technique he was inspired to use from Vince Gilligan's television work. He found episodic storytelling allowed an opportunity to view the origins of the pandemic and demonstrate its global reach. The original plan was to feature a montage of cities around the world, but they lacked the budget. The writers felt following a single character—and her brief connection with one other character—granted a greater sense of dread and grounded the events in reality. The opening scene uses the song "Hampa" by Ari Lasso.

Mazin wanted the clickers to resemble the in-game design through prosthetics; he felt using visual effects would have lessened their impact. Barrie and Sarah Gower, with whom Mazin had worked on Chernobyl, were engaged to create the prosthetics. Their team found themselves continually referring to the original concept art from the game. The performers of the clickers were fans of the game and understood their movement. The silent conversation between Joel and Ellie was added during reshoots as executive producer Carolyn Strauss did not understand how clickers operate. In the game, Tess sacrifices herself to provide Joel and Ellie time to escape pursuing soldiers; in the episode, they are replaced with infected. Mazin considered it illogical for soldiers to patrol so far away from the quarantine zone and felt replacing them with infected granted the opportunity to demonstrate the connectivity between the creatures. Mazin felt the kiss between Tess and the infected underscored the theme of love, noting the creatures were still capable of love through their spread of the fungus. Druckmann wanted to frame and light the shot of the kiss in a beautiful way to emphasize its creepiness.

Joel's final glance at Ellie in the final scene was an unscripted addition by Pascal; Druckmann felt it demonstrated Joel's frustration with Ellie, a feeling she returned. Mazin considered ending the episode with Ellie following Joel but Druckmann insisted the ending remain unresolved. The final scene and credits use the song "Allowed to be Happy" by Gustavo Santaolalla, featured in the video game The Last of Us Part II (2020).

Casting and characters
Christine Hakim's role was revealed in a trailer in December 2022. She was contacted to appear in the series via Instagram. She was initially hesitant to accept the role as she was caring for her mother and husband amid the COVID-19 pandemic but was convinced by her grandniece, a fan of the game. Hakim recorded her role in Calgary in late October 2021. She brought her traditional batik scarves and Indonesian jewelry, which the costume department accepted for use in the series. Hakim was impressed by Druckmann's ability to direct Indonesian roles and the art director's creation of the Jakarta set in Calgary.

Filming

Ksenia Sereda worked as cinematographer for the episode. Filming took place in and around Rice Howard Way in Downtown Edmonton from October 2–18, requiring the closure of sidewalks between October 12–14; Pascal filmed establishing shots in the area in early October, and returned for full production later in the month alongside Ramsey and Torv. The location replicated a post-apocalyptic Boston; production designer John Paino was unable to find a location imitating Boston's brick-lined streets, requiring manual transformation and sculpting on set. Manual tree placement was similarly required as Canadian trees share few similarities with those in Boston. Rice Howard Way was set up with a large crater in front of an Italian restaurant and a green screen for the skyline. The production crew converted a local business into a ruined salon and asked another if they would permit a stunt performer to fly through the front window.

Production took place at the Alberta Legislature Building, which was dressed with vines and greenery. Production spent around  for a four-day shoot in Edmonton. Some streets in downtown Calgary were closed for production from October 15–18, followed by the closure of several blocks in Beltline from October 23–28. Shutting down the Fourth Avenue flyover that took the locations team around six to eight weeks of negotiations with the city. The hotel interior location required draining as fungi quickly began to grow. Paino designed the Indonesian lab with "big and sinister" air ducts; he kept the colors simple to maintain realism and avoid resembling science fiction. Druckmann's work on the episode completed production by November 7, 2021.

Reception

Broadcast and ratings
The episode aired on HBO on January 22, 2023. The episode had 5.7 million viewers in the United States on its first night, including linear viewers and streams on HBO Max—an increase of 22 percent from the previous week, the largest second-week audience growth for an original HBO drama series in the network's history. On linear television, it had 633,000 viewers on its first night, with a 0.18 ratings share.

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, "Infected" has an approval rating of 97 percent based on 33 reviews, with an average rating of 8.7/10. The website's critical consensus said the episode features "a terrific turn by Anna Torv and monsters that fully deliver on their terrifying potential". TVLine named Torv the Performer of the Week, citing her complexity and subtlety. Total Films Bradley Russell felt she demonstrated Tess's emotional depth, and Den of Geeks Bernard Boo found her performance sophisticated and heartbreaking. IGNs Simon Cardy wrote she displayed "warmth beneath a scarred, steely surface", lauding her relationship with Pascal's Joel. IndieWires Steve Greene applauded Torv's capability to demonstrate Tess's sadness and pain through facial expressions alone. Praise was also directed at Pascal's performance for his restraint and Ramsey for her humor, and Den of Geeks Boo commended all three cast members for acting "with intention", allowing viewers to witness their emotional foundations. Push Squares Aaron Bayne felt Ramsey had not yet "embodied the role" of Ellie like Pascal with Joel but enjoyed their banter.

Total Films Russell lauded Mazin's writing and found quiet moments and conversations carried purpose and dramatic weight. The Escapists Darren Mooney felt the script occasionally felt "like reading a strategy guide" due to the amount of exposition delivered through dialogue, noting it was effective but not compelling. The cold open was generally well-received; The Washington Posts Mikhail Klimentov found it more effective than the previous episode's due to its delivery of melancholy and dread without the restraint of providing context, though Den of Geeks Boo considered it "less compelling" than the entirety of the first episode. IGNs Cardy wrote the kiss between Tess and the infected validated the creative decision to replace spores with tendrils. Conversely, Total Films Russell considered it "a baffling choice and fundamentally silly", and The Washington Posts Klimentov found it the worst sequence of the series to date. Several outlets similarly reported viewers were similarly divided on the scene; some called it heartbreaking and others considered it unnecessary.

Several critics praised Druckmann's directing and Sereda's cinematography, particularly during the museum action sequence; Den of Geeks Boo called it "masterfully choreographed" and compared it to the video game, and IGNs Cardy found it fit the inelegant aesthetic of the world. Total Films Russell praised Druckmann's "keen eye for beauty in this shattered world", citing a shot of a frog on a piano as a standout. The New York Timess Noel Murray felt the low-angle shots allowed an effective backdrop for visual effects. Reviewers lauded the production design; IGNs Cardy considered it "one of the show's high points" with its visualization of nature reclaiming civilization. Den of Geeks Boo found the design and sounds of the clickers appropriately frightening; The Hollywood Reporters Daniel Fienberg called them "a genre palate cleanser" after The Walking Deads design.

Celebrating Della's first birthday and my first full year of retirement with visiting Freda and enjoying family holidays in Bude and on The Lady after concluding some good investments and visiting my new Scottish estate with Daniel after working with my architect and landscape gardens and completing a fair number of computer industry activities, plans and proposals as the apartheid unrest in South Africa and a Ugandan coup holds the headlines and The UK declines to follow UN calls for sanctions and further more Thatcher loses Lords votes and even more friends.
And so ends this July, part of a summer that has seen much wind and rain and little prolonged sunshine or hot weather. I suffered a long and depressing journey to Orpington in Kent to suffer a Greek Christening, but we have then celebrated baby Della's first birthday, and thus my first year of retirement, and are safely underway for our longest boat holiday of the year as the month closes. The family are adapting well and enjoying all this but we had a disastrous school report of Daniel's lack of school progress, Debbie has made progress with swimming by managing without arm bands for the first time but, unfortunately, the girls are suffering from a tummy upset and, on top of that, we suspect that Debbie has worms, which we will purge when her queasiness has past. I managed the long drive to Bristol to the Holiday Inn en route to Bude to video our holiday visit to Freda and family to find them well. We stayed in the poor Grenville Hotel, whose staff rightly feel that it has lost its family atmosphere by taking in retired clients.

Dating With out Driving Yourself Loopy
Trump's frequent criticisms of the European Union, which he has branded corrupt whereas apparently rooting for extra nations to join Britain by voting to depart, is irking US allies, who see the block, for all its faults, as the basis of many years of peace in Europe, a continent beforehand wracked by centuries of conflict. Britain is the U.S.'s seventh-largest trading accomplice. Now, Merkel is confronted with the unenviable task of assembling a brand new coalition without her principal accomplice of latest years, the Social Democrats, who having themselves lost 40 seats within the Bundestag in their worst election showing since 1949, announced on election evening they would not be a part of Merkel's get together in authorities, as a substitute opting to develop into the leading opposition movement in the Bundestag. Given the phenomenon's restricted presence in dating violence literature, we concentrate on identifying how experiencing cyber dating abuse relates to youths' individual behaviors and experiences (e.g., substance use, sexual exercise), psychosocial adjustment, faculty connection, household relationships, and companion relationships. The aim of this research was to establish behaviors along with those of an explicitly sexual or romantic nature that men. A unique side of this study is that we asked young women and men to determine what kinds of behaviors they thought-about to be unfaithful rather than only analyzing sexual and emotional behaviors as has been the case in past analysis. However, research exhibits that there is a typical stigma attached to cat ownership, as one recent study suggests that some heterosexual women "found the males holding cats to be less dateable," as opposed to males with canine, the Conversation reported.
Of course, it's cat-owning ladies who have been lengthy-oppressed by the "crazy cat lady" stereotype, and a 2019 poll of ladies with cats found that 62% of them agreed that it comes with preconceptions. With cat house owners putting this a lot stock in their pets, it's a wonder that it took so lengthy for an app like Tabby. A much more likely end result for younger adults is lengthy-time period complications, mentioned Dr. Megan Ranney, an emergency physician and director of the Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health. "Pets matter a lot greater than what a lot of different niche dating apps provide," Isaacson informed The Post. Nautilus insured more than 500 people "either recognized as enslaved individuals or from the records are likely to have been enslaved" and paid the claims of 15 of those who died, in accordance New York Life. Macron is clearly planning to go it alone in his crusade, even when Merkel or Trump on the skin are respectively unable or unwilling to do any heavy lifting to help. Within the short term, Brexit "might trigger NATO to be much more relied upon as it is going to be the only organization that features all the foremost European heavyweights," in response to Fran Burwell, an professional on the EU on the Washington-based mostly Atlantic Council, advised CNN.
The Atlantic Council's Frances Burwell, an EU expert who supports the U.K. Sure. Whereas the Worldwide Monetary Fund released a report Friday that discovered leaving the EU would primarily damage the U.Ok. But appearing on the identical program, Michael Howard, a "go away" supporter and former UK home secretary, stated that cooperation on legislation enforcement and intelligence points with Europe would continue even when the U.K. The IAEA, which is the UN's nuclear watchdog tasked with inspections and monitoring of Iran's nuclear program, agreed. On this point, Netanyahu cited Iran's repeated requires the destruction of the United States and Israel, in addition to Iran's ballistic missile program, which was not included as part of the JCPOA. Back in September 2013, for instance, Moscow and Washington confronted mounting evidence of chemical warfare in Syria, and came together to forge and implement the gathering and destruction of Assad's WMD stockpiles. That keeps alive the prospect of a broadly helpful multinational settlement that would see Assad and his cronies eliminated, while simultaneously granting ruling Alawites the coastal homeland they have long sought, safeguarding the Christian and Druze communities in southern and southwestern Syria, allowing the Kurds to carry on to northern and northeastern areas, and providing the Sunni Arab majority with the largest portion of land in central and jap Syria.

A building's chiller plants typically consume the most energy, so it makes sense that any strategy to reduce costs and to be environmentally friendly needs to start here. Johnson Controls is a global multi-industrial company with established core businesses in the building and automotive industries. It leverages on decades of YORK chiller innovations to deliver more efficient and sustainable chiller solutions in its continual push of the boundaries of chiller technology.
Asia Chiller Solutions, Johnson Controls Inc.
ASHRAE-ANSI 90.1 Standard Committee for 8 years.
In a recent interview, Mr. Larry Kouma (Product Management Director) shared his insights into regional trends in Asia's refrigerant industry and on how the YORK® Magnetic Centrifugal Chiller (YMC2) system addressed the most pressing concerns of facility owners and designers.
BRJ: What are the regional trends in the refrigerant industry in 2014?
LK: With the awareness of ozone depletion and commitment to the Montreal Protocol, major suppliers are responding to the phase out of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). However, meeting all the requirements of safety, reliability, efficiency, Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a tall order. The refrigerant that best fulfils these requirements are the hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) for large HVAC equipment applications, and in certain applications, natural refrigerants including hydrocarbons, ammonia, and carbon dioxide (CO2), are also safely applied.
BRJ: In what direction would these trends change in the next few years?
LK: Increasingly, refrigerants are also assessed based on their Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP), which takes a holistic approach in estimating all warming impacts – both direct and indirect – over the lifetime of the refrigerant for specific applications. Research will continue to push forward to find or create refrigerants that best fulfil all the necessary criteria while minimizing climate impact. Meanwhile, HFCs look to be the mainstay with European Union F-Gas Regulation to mitigate its GWP by addressing the containment, use, recovery, reporting, labelling, training, certification and some market prohibitions. This will have implications especially for sectors with high leakage such as automotive and commercial refrigeration.
BRJ: What are some of the most pressing building and facility challenges faced in the industry today?
LK: Rising energy costs and the need to improve productivity and minimize downtime continue to be key challenges for building and facility managers today. In addition, there is growing interest in sustainability across the industry as organizations increasingly seek to incorporate it into business goals and culture.
Asia to adopt "greener" and more energy efficient HVAC equipment and solutions.
their energy efficiency and green building targets in the next few years.
BRJ: How does YMC2 help address them?
Improved Efficiency – YMC2 chillers is 10 percent more efficient than new conventional, variable-speed chillers. The magnetic-bearing technology eliminates mechanical-contact losses in the driveline. In addition, proven energy efficient YORK® features such as the OptiSpeed™ variable-speed drive and the optimized centrifugal compressor have been retained and improved on. The efficiency benefits can be greater than 30 percent when considering replacement of an older existing chiller at end of life.
Reduced Noise – The YMC2 chiller is quieter than any water-cooled centrifugal or screw chiller on the market. Driveline vibration is eliminated with the magnetic-bearing technology, while the YORK® OptiSound™ control further helps reduce noise. As a result, the YMC2 chiller operates at a maximum of 73 dBA at full-load standard conditions (The human ear would perceive the YMC² chiller only half as loud as other magnetic-bearing chillers).
High Reliability – The design of the YMC2 chiller has fewer moving parts, requires less servicing and has a longer motor life. This helps to increase reliability and reduce maintenance costs. The chiller's permanent-magnet motor has an inherently longer life than traditional motors, and the OptiSpeed drive's soft-start sequence helps to further extend motor life.
Better Sustainability – The YMC2 chiller uses refri-gerant HFC-134a which has zero ozone-depletion potential. Furthermore, it is designed with 57 percent less refrigerant-piping connections which drastically reduce the potential for direct global warming caused by refrigerant leakage potential. The 10 percent to 50 percent efficiency improvement also reduces indirect global warming caused by greenhouse-gas emissions generated by electric utilities. Indirect impact is typically more than 95 percent of the chiller contribution to environmental warming impact over the operating life of the chiller.
BRJ: What is the potential for adoption of the new YMC2 technology in Asia?
LK: We see lots of potential for adoption in both the developed and developing markets in Asia. Interest in the developed markets, such as Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, would be more immediate and widespread. For one, the YMC2 chiller is ideal for retrofit installations because it not only delivers higher efficiency but also caters to a higher capacity within a small footprint.
We are also starting to see interest in developing markets, such as India and China, where a few forward thinking companies have started to implement high efficient systems and solutions. At the same time, the governments in these countries have increasingly taken steps to drive the adoption of more energy efficient and green solutions across businesses and infrastructure through regulations and incentives. So we can expect good growth in these markets in the coming years.
In general, YMC2 is a versatile solution that is suitable for application across a wide range of industries. Given its high reliability and superior sound control, it is also recommended for high performance facilities such as data centers, healthcare facilities, educational institutions and concert halls.
BRJ: In terms of cost savings, how long is the payback with YMC2 installed?
LK: Generally less than five years, and can be lower than three years depending on total system design and ambient conditions.
BRJ: Does YMC2 help existing buildings? Please elaborate.
LK: The YMC2 contributes towards helping reduce the energy consumption and operational costs of commercial and industrial buildings. It is also ideal for retrofit in existing buildings because of its small footprint – it can fit into the old chiller space and still cater to a higher capacity (up to 560TR) and deliver higher efficiency. Its energy efficient and sustainable features also help existing buildings meet the energy management and environmental targets set out by building owners and increasingly, governments.
In Singapore, government legislation and incentives play a big part in driving the adoption of more energy efficient HVAC solutions. This is in part due to the Government's push to green 80 percent of all buildings by 2030.
New regulations increasingly require new and existing buildings to achieve a minimum Green Mark standard when retrofitting or installing a new cooling system. Existing buildings are also required to carry out regular energy audits and report annual energy consumption data.
Johnson Controls, has helped existing buildings such as PoMo, a mixed-use retail facility achieve the BCA Green Mark Platinum rating with YMC2. The YMC2 helped address the needs of the building owners by reducing energy consumption and controlling excessive equipment noise. With the YMC2, the retrofitted chiller plant achieved an impressive system efficiency of 0.65 kW/RT and successfully lowered sound levels below 73 dBA.
SINGAPORE – Johnson Controls is introducing a new technology in China to meet the growing demand for central heating that does not emit harmful pollutants. The York Dual Steam Turbine (YDST) heat pump recycles surplus heat from industrial or power plants into higher temperature hot water that can be used to operate large central heating plants. Compared to traditional boiler heating, the YDST can reduce coal consumption by up to 30 percent while supplying the same amount of heat.
This technology is an important innovation for the Chinese market where the government has made a major commitment in its Five-Year Plan to reduce pollution from the burning of fossil fuels. The plan uses industrial surplus heat as a major source of urban heating.
The capacity and versatility of the YDST make it ideal for large-scale central heating plants.
It is the first centrifugal heat pump – driven by a steam turbine, not electric – that supplies over 100 megawatts of heat per heat pump system, doubling the current capacity available.
It can accept waste hot water as low as 50oF to 120oF and increase the temperature up to 140oF to over 200oF.
The demand for central heating is estimated to grow significantly in China over the next five years due to rapid urbanization, particularly in northern China. Johnson Controls, a global multi-industrial company, has successfully implemented a heat recovery solution at a large northeast Chinese municipal heating facility. It has saved more than US$1.2 million while alleviating the need to burn 9,200 tons of coal in the last heating season, the equivalent to removing 4,000 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.
Recently, the company opened a US$35 million expansion of its manufacturing and research and development center in Wuxi, China. The campus and its engineering center is now one of Johnson Controls' largest research and development centers in the world for building solutions for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as industrial refrigeration solutions. The campus will spearhead continuing innovation on heat recovery for the global market.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – ABB, a leading power and automation technology provider, and Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), the global leader in lighting, today announced a collaboration to simplify the integration of connected lighting systems and building device control for commercial buildings. Combining Philips' wealth of expertise in LED lighting systems with ABB's knowledge of building automation will benefit systems integrator, commercial building owners, facility managers and the people who work in these buildings.
Philips' connected lighting system will interface seamlessly with ABB's automation software to offer the ability to control a commercial environment including lighting, blinds, building access and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). The introduction of the solution from ABB and Philips will make it much simpler to reconfigure spaces. In a hotel this could mean altering the lighting scene after combining several separate rooms into a large meeting room, just through one click. Or in a shopping complex, a building manager can simply reconfigure the access, HVAC and lighting when a single unit is split into smaller ones.
Currently, re-configuring different building systems requires entering lines of code for each separate element. By enabling the control of all the different elements of building automation through compatible software, building management is simpler and more affordable to install and maintain.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting constitute 70% of the energy consumption in commercial buildings and the introduction of building device control can improve energy efficiency by approximately 30%. Upgrading to more energy efficient systems represents a significant opportunity for building managers to save on operational costs.
