The pleasures and advantages of home exchanging have been well documented but despite the clear benefits, many are still leery of the practice. We have been home exchanging for 25 years yet the concern from friends and acquaintances remains the same. It boils down to fear.
People are afraid of going to an unfamiliar home, in an unfamiliar or even foreign place. People are even anxious about those who may be staying in their home. We have certainly experienced those feelings, so we have learned how to dispel the anxieties. Here we will specifically address going to someone else's home.
First, you know the location, so do some further research. With Google Earth, it's not difficult to pinpoint the home swap and its surroundings. You don't have to depend on a possibly biased owner reporting their neighborhood is only "minutes from town" (beach, mall, etc.). You can verify the information.
Secondly, there is the fear that you will arrive, possibly after dark, to a home you cannot gain access to. That key that was supposed to be in the planter? Not there. Short of breaking in, you fear you will have to find a hotel for the night or even the week! In 25 years of home exchanging, this has never happened to us. Yes, the key wasn't where it was supposed to be, but there are many solutions to this. Many times the home swap is in a development with an office. Be sure this office has been advised you will be in the property, and has your name on file. Even better if you have a name of an on-site employee who knows you are coming.
If the residence is in a neighborhood or building, have the name and phone number of a neighbor who can let you in - often owners have given a key to someone nearby to pick up mail, water plants, check on the place while they are gone, frequently being absent longer than your planned stay. Another common tactic is to provide the phone number of a relative who lives in the same town and can similarly assist you. We have often been greeted on arrival by a friendly face bearing food for breakfast (since often you arrive after stores are closed, it's a nice touch, but that's another blog).
Home exchanging is a fabulous way to save lots of money and to become immersed in other cultures and explore new corners of the world. It really is very easy! For more information on exchanges please visit www.ivhe.com to see a stunning selection of properties available for home exchange.
We were able to complete a vacation home exchange with our vacation property in British Columbia #489 for a house in Auckland for a week.
We checked in to the Airport Holiday Inn Express and crashed for a few hours after the all night flight. Later we started exploring the coast on the west side of Auckland. The west coast was hilly and remote. The roads reminded me of the mountain roads in West Virginia. In addition to the beautiful scenery we saw a rare colony of gannets and the beach where "The Piano" was filmed. The townhouse was a great location where we could use public transportation to explore the sights around town.
We toured the Winter Gardens and the nearby Auckland Museum. Kelly Tarleton's Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World were great and we walked back to the house. We took a ferry to Devonport and hiked to the military structures and gun placements on North Head.
Once we had finished exploring the local sights, we picked up a rental vehicle and left Auckland and drove to the Coromandel Peninsula. On the west coast, we walked though the Water Works Museum where water powered each exhibit. Next we took a train ride up a mountain on a track that one man laid over the course of 26 years. It was quite a remarkable achievement. On the east coast we wanted to hike to Cathedral Cove, but a recent cyclone has destroyed the staircase, so we did a scenic hike to the Shakespeare Cliffs instead. After an enjoyable hike to Wentworth Falls, we visited an active pit open gold mine. We entered several abandoned gold mine tunnels in the Waitawhete Gorge; we found no gold, but the glow worms were in residence. In Hamilton, we spent several hours touring the majestic gardens. The 500 foot Wairere Falls sRotorua is a tourist town surrounded by geothermal activity. We went to a Maori hangi (feast) where we were fed pork, chicken and lot of other foods that were cooked in an underground pit. Their performance was both educational and entertaining. We visited a village buried by a volcano, hiked in a Redwood forest, and toured the Rotorua Museum. Further south, in Taupo, we hiked to Huku Falls and the Crater of the Moon. We saw Maori rock carvings while boating on Lake Taupo. We took a raft through a cave in Waitomo and saw thousands of glow worms, enough to illuminate the cave. At a nearby bird center, we saw kiwi birds and other native birds. We continued south to Wellington. We spent half a day in the TePapa Museum and still didn't see all the "Must See" exhibits. On our second day in town, we took the cable car to the Carter Observatory and the Botanical Gardens.hould not be missed on the way to Rotorua.
We finished our North Island tour with a drive along Wellington's scenic south coast.
Home swap/trading to save $£$£$ on your vacation is a wonderful way to experience the world! money. It really is very easy! For more information on home exchanges please visit www.ivhe.com to see a stunning selection of properties available for home exchanges and trades.
Home Exchange - It's Easy in 2 parts!
* Kitchen: It is not necessary to clear out all cupboards, indeed it is very useful for your guests if you leave some basics (eg flour, oil, dried herbs) in the kitchen for your home exchange guest to use. Remove or simply leave a note about items that you do not wish to be used. It is nice for your home swap guests to have a bit of space in a cupboard and fridge for their own food supplies.
* Make your home exchange guests feel at home: clearing a small space in the wardrobe and a drawer or two will make your guests stay much more comfortable and make your property feel like home.
* Local knowledge: a couple of recommendations for your favourite restaurants will get your home swap guest's vacation off to a flying start. Also useful are ideas for days out close to home, and useful contacts such as local pharmacy, doctors and plumber.
* Clean, clean, clean: the cleaner your property, the happier your guests will be! If you do not use a regular housekeeper or cleaner, remove as much clutter as possible and consider using a cleaning agency to give your property a thorough spring-clean. Guests should always leave the property in the same condition in which they found it even if there is a housekeeper coming in after them, leaving the property in nice tidy condition is expected.
* Vehicle insurance: if you are considering swapping cars, boats, ski-doo's etc check with your insurance company that they will be covered, some countries are fine for occasional other drivers to use vehicles, others are less so.
Home exchanging is a great way to save lots of money and experiencing different cultures and stepping into someone else's world!. For more information on exchanges please visit www.ivhe.com to see a stunning selection of properties available for home exchange.
* Communicate!: In these days of high speed communications you can build a relationship with your home swap partner well before the exchange or trade takes place. Regardless if you are doing a direct swap or a trade, or whether you will have the opportunity or not to meet in person, it makes a big difference if the host and the guests get to know each other a bit before the visits. Make sure your guests know important details such as how to get to your exchange property, where to find the keys and maybe a friendly local who can be on hand to answer any questions that might come up..
*Make your guests feel at home: Small touches such as a pint of milk left in the fridge or a bunch of flowers will be much appreciated by your guests especially if they are arriving from a different country. Of course this is not always possible if it is a vacation property and the host has not just been there. Equally a thank you note or small gesture from the guest will also be very welcome.
* Leave instructions: It can be baffling trying to work out how to use other people's electrical appliances!
* Be prepared: Accidents can happen, it is sensible to put away breakable valuables or items with sentimental value so they cannot be accidentally knocked over.


The Randek Hand press NT10 is an excellent machine for timber splicing directly on workstations or supplemental pressing on building sites. The press is built in aluminium to reduce weight as much as possible and have a long press stroke for it's small size.
The press is air driven with standard couplings and is powered by a regular air compressor. However, the internal press mechanism is hydraulic which boosts the press force up to 10 tonne.

Doug Lowrie Auto Body Service Inc. was established in 1953, by Norman Douglas Lowrie and his brother Al, and has remained in the same building in the small borough of Bernardsville since. It was their Father that began repairing horse drawn carriages, and cars, in Newark (when vehicles were painted with brushes) that got them started.
Norman's son Doug began working with them in 1967, and together they ran the business until Norman retired in the mid eighties. Doug continued with help from his wife Addie until they retired in 2001.
Norman and Doug hired Ron Pace in 1980. Eventually Ron became more involved, and in April of 2001 Ron bought the business from Doug and Addie, and formed Pace Collision Services Inc. The trade name of the business however, as it is so familiar to many long time area residents, remains Doug Lowrie Auto Body.

El Fuerte San Telmo (Fort Saint-Elme en francés) es un fuerte militar construido entre 1538 y 1552 bajo Carlos V a partir de una torre fundada en el siglo VIII por los moros. Está situado en el municipio de Colliure, a 30km al sureste de Perpiñán, departamento de los Pirineos orientales. Monumento histórico de la Costa Bermeja, el fuerte es desde 2008 un museo con colecciones de armas medievales y renacentistas, exposiciones temporales y un panorama de la región sobre la terraza.

Localización

El fuerte San Telmo está situado sobre una colina que domina Colliure al oeste y Port-Vendres al este, en la prolongación noreste del fuerte Dugommier. Se puede acceder al fuerte por dos carreteras: al norte a través de la carretera D114 que sale desde Colliure y al sur a través de la vía rápida D914 que llega hasta Port-Vendres. También se puede llegar haciendo senderismo desde Colliure, pasando por el camino del Molino hasta el castillo.

Toponimia

Existen varias hipótesis para el nombre de San Telmo: un mártir italiano del siglo IV, Erasmo de Formia o un santo español, Pedro González Telmo (1190-1246). Ambos fueron confundidos y considerados como patrones de los marineros, de ahí su uso en las costas occidentales del Mediterráneo: Saint-Elme en Colliure, Sant'Elmo en Nápoles, Sant Elm en Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Sant Helme y Santem en Provenza, etc.

San Telmo aparece durante las tormentas, en la parte superior de los mástiles de los barcos, con una luz en la mano para protegerlos. Las descargas eléctricas en los mástiles de los navíos fueron consideradas como un signo de su protección y, por ello, fueron llamadas "Fuegos de San Telmo".

Por ley del 3 de junio de 1794, durante la revolución francesa el municipio llevaba el nombre de Fort-du-Rocher (Fuerte de la roca)

Historia

Del origen a la edad media

La historia del fuerte San Telmo empieza con la edificación de su atalaya en el siglo VIII por los moros, és decir, cuando las tropas árabes bereberes ocuparan entre 719 y 759 la Septimania.

Integrado en la Marca Hispánica, la torre perteneció a los Condes de Rosellón independientes hasta la muerte sin herederos de Girard II en 1172, quien legó su condado a Alfonso II de Aragón, rey de Aragón y conde de Barcelona. En aquella época, la torre fue apodada "torre de guardia".

Entre 1276 y 1344, los Reyes de Mallorca, cuya residencia veraniega era el castillo de Collioure, decidieron reconstruir esta torre como punto de vigilencia ideal. La torre forma parte de un sistema de comunicación eficaz con dos otras torres fundadas por Jaime II de Mallorca: la torre de Massane (Maçana en catalán) y la torre Madeloc. Ambas se sitúan sobre las alturas de Colliure. Esas torres comunicaron a través de hogueras que permitían alertar las alrededores con señales de humo (negras o blancas, discontinuas o continuas) según el peligro. De noche se utilizaba madera seca para alertar las guarniciones hasta Perpiñán. De día recurrían a madera verde para producir el humo y comunicar más fácilmente con las otras torres y plazas fuertes de la región.

Pero fue el enemigo del rey de Mallorca, Pedro IV de Aragón, quién, una vez la costa conquistada en 1344, realizó importantes obras militares para mejorar la defensa del fuerte.

En la segunda parte del siglo XV (1462-1493), los franceses controlan el Rosellón. En 1462, el rey de Francia Luis XI se aprovecha de la guerra civil catalana (1462-1472) para firmar el tratado de Bayona con Juan II de Aragón y así controlar los condados del Rosellón y de la Cerdaña. Así fue cómo el fuerte cogió el nombre de San Telmo. Una parte de las murallas data de aquella época. El sucesor de Luis XI, Carlos VIII, debido a sus ambiciones sobre el reino de Nápoles, quería asegurarse la neutralidad de su vecino. Firmó con Fernando II de Aragón el tratado de Barcelona en 1493. El rey católico recuperó así los territorios perdidos.

La fortificación de Carlos I
En el siglo XVI, el Rosellón es una pieza esencial del reinado de Castilla y de Aragón. La región tiene la forma de un triángulo delimitado por las Cordilleras al norte, las Alberas al sur, y la Mediterránea al este. Perpiñán era un centro industrial, cultural y comercial de los más importantes por lazos privilegiados con Italia y sus riquezas. Al norte, está defendida por el castillo de Salses y al sur por el castillo San Telmo. Este castillo protege también los puertos de Colliure y de Port-Vendres, quiénes aseguran a la capital regional del Rosellón suministros y tropas frescas. El progreso de la artillería moderna cambia en profundidad el arte de la guerra y las técnicas de sede. Arquitectos y artilleros se convirtieron entonces en los nuevos maestros de la guerra y consejeros de los Soberanos. En 1537, el arquitecto italiano Benedetto de Rávena llama la atención del emperador Carlos I sobre los puntos débiles de la posición de Colliure. Después de su inspección, obtuvo el acuerdo de Carlos Quinto y empezó las obras en 1538 hasta 1552. Transformó la fisonomía del fuerte que tomó su aspecto en estrella con seis puntas de paredes inclinadas.

Un fuerte francés
A pesar de esa modernización y de su adaptación a la artillería y las armas de fuego, el 13 de abril de 1642, las tropas de Luis XIII asediaron el fuerte y lo conquistaron. El Rosellón estaba bajo el mando francés y la amenaza del vecino español quedaba a pesar del tratado de los Perineos en 1659. Vauban, arquitecto militar de Luis XIV, pasa en la región para hacer una habilitación de las estructuras defensivas. Cuando Vauban descubre Colliure y el fuerte San Telmo, decide construir una contraescarpa, formando con la base de la muralla una fosa de unos diez metros de ancho donde resultaba fácil maniobrar los cañones y la infantería.

Hacia 1780, la fachada del fuerte ha sido blanqueada para servir de punto de referencia desde la alta mar, con la torre de Massana, para situar mejor el puerto de Port-Vendres.

Durante la revolución francesa

Durante la Revolución francesa, más precisamente durante la guerra del Rosellón entre 1793 y 1795, la región fue el lugar de violentos combates. La ejecución de Luis XVI conduce, en abril de 1793, a la intervención de las tropas españolas. El 23 de mayo, Argelès cae, cortando Collioure del resto de la República. La ciudad sitiada resiste seis meses. El 20 de diciembre de 1793, el ejército español bajo el mando del General Ricardos atacó Port-Vendres. Desde el inicio del compromiso, las tropas republicanas son aplastados por un enemigo superior. Se retiraron en gran desorden y buscaron refugio en el fuerte San Telmo, pero la traición de su comandante, comandante del batallón Dufour, mantuvo sus puertas cerradas y luego capituló a los españoles. Esta acción provocó la rendición del general Delattre, jefe de las tropas de la República en Collioure.

Al año siguiente, el general Jacques François Dugommier fue nombrado comandante en jefe del ejército de los Pirineos Orientales. Se trata de un hombre de experiencia. Llegado de Tolón que venía de recuperar, tuvo la inteligencia para seguir el consejo de un joven coronel, comandante de la artillería, llamado Napoleón Bonaparte ...

El 3 de mayo de 1794, las tropas republicanas rodearon a las fuerzas españolas. Después de una brillante maniobra de aproximación, la artillería aplastó con unas 11 000 balas de cañón el fuerte San Telmo, lo que obligó a los defensores a evacuar el 25 de mayo de 1794, después de 22 días de asedio.

Durante la Revolución Francesa, la fortaleza tomó el nombre de Fort-du-Rocher.

Después del período revolucionario, el fuerte, reunido en la ciudad de Colliure, se transforma en una tienda militar.

El castillo San Telmo acogió, según las épocas, desde 200 hasta 1500 soldados y sirvió de guarnición militar hasta 1903.

Un museo privado

El fuerte San Telmo fue desmilitarizado en 1903 y abandonado. La torre se derrumbaba, la galería de tiro estaba parcialmente impracticable y numerosos muros amenazaban desmoronarse. El 21 de agosto de 1913, el Estado decidió vender en subasta el fuerte. Diferentes dueños se suceden pero ninguno hace restauraciones.

El fuerte es declarado Monument historique (Monumento declarado de interés histórico) por orden del 2 de abril de 1927. Un nuevo dueño decide entonces restaurarlo. Las obras terminaron en 1936.

Durante la segunda guerra mundial, el fuerte fue ocupado por la marina alemana entre 1942 y 1944. Algunos edificios fueron dinamitados a su salida para que no pudieran ser utilizados por las tropas aliadas.

Reconstruido en parte en 1950, las grandes obras empezaron en 2004 y desde 2008, el fuerte está abierto al público. Todavía es una propiedad privada, pero que pueden visitar los turistas.

Arquitectura

Exterior
Para la construcción de la fortaleza, el arquitecto Benedetto Ravenna decidió hacer una traza italiana: una fortaleza en forma de estrella para responder a los avances de la artillería. Las paredes están en ángulo para evitar que las balas de cañón hagan demasiado daños. Además, la terraza de 360 grados permite atacar al sitiador sin ángulos muertos.

Cuando la fortaleza pasó a manos de los franceses, Vauban agregó desde la década de 1680 zanjas externas y adiciones al sistema defensivo.

Interior
El interior del fuerte San Telmo se articula alrededor de varias salas edificadas en la circunferencia exterior del fuerte.

En el primer piso se encontraban los dormitorios de las tropas, la sala de armas, la sala del trono, la prisión y el horno.

Hoy, el piso está habilitado en museo donde están presentados armas y objetos históricos que datan del siglo XVI hasta el siglo XIX : cascos, balas en piedra pulida, en fundición y en hierro resultante de los fosos del fuerte, cañones marítimos, fragmentos de obús, armaduras de caballeros, corazas, armas medievales (guadañas de guerra, heaume, culebrinas) y armas del siglo XVI. Otras salas revelan la historia del monumento: la genealogía, el reinado y la vida de Carlos V; una colección de armas (sobre todo ballestas, alabardas, dagas, espadas), una sala de exposición y una sala sobre las fortificaciones de Vauban y el ataque de Dugommier.

En el segundo piso, los almacenes de harinas y de la artillería están al lado de los cuerpos de guardia y la panadería. San Telmo ha estado concebido para soportar asedios y resistir a los asaltos de los sitiadores: la galería de tiro puede acoger más de 20 cañones y obuses y el sistema defensivo ingenioso ha permitido al castillo resistir a varios ataques. La torre era el polvorín. Los muros alcanzan hacia 8 metros de espesura en algunos lugares.

Los subterráneos no están abiertos al público. Servían de almacén para la comida, las viviendas y podían alojar también todo el material necesario para el combate.

When you need to communicate with someone who does not speak the same language as you, it is likely that you will need interpreting services.
As our second core business is interpreting, we specialise in providing interpreting services that allow easy communication, wherever and whenever you need it. Just provide us with your requirements and we will provide you with the right interpreter, who will deliver to your needs and wishes.
Interpreting while the speaker is speaking. The interpreter works in a booth with at least one colleague. The speaker in the meeting room speaks into a microphone; the interpreter receives the sound through a headset and renders the message into a microphone almost simultaneously. The participant in the meeting room selects the relevant channel to hear the interpretation in the language of his/her choice. Simultaneous interpreting is most frequently used for large conferences or meetings. This interpreting generally requires equipment such as microphones, headsets, and soundproofed booths.
Interpreting after the speaker has finished. Also called "Face to Face" interpreting, this mode is commonly used for business meetings, negotiations, technical seminars, commissions/boards, training workshops etc. The interpreter sits with the participants, listens to the speech and renders it in a different language, generally with the aid of notes. Our interpreters will be your ears and mouth and will help you to communicate your message effortlessly. Your needs are our priority, which is why our interpreters always carefully prepare themselves, based on the materials supplied, so that their performance is impeccable.
(chuchotage, in French), the interpreter sits or stands next to the small target-language audience whilst whispering a simultaneous interpretation of the matter; this method requires no equipment, but may be done via a microphone and headphones if the participants prefer. Whispered interpretation can be used only for very few participants (ideally not more than three) sitting or standing close together. It is used mainly in bilateral meetings or in groups where only a few participants do not share a common language.
Interpreting between two languages via a third. A source-language interpreter interprets the speech to a language common to every interpreter, who then renders the message to his or her respective target languages. This solution is most often used in the multilingual meetings of the EU institutions.
This mode of interpreting involves relaying what is spoken to one, between two, or among many people. This can be done after a short speech, or consecutively, sentence-by-sentence, or as chuchotage (whispering); aside from notes taken at the time, no equipment is used. Liaison interpreting is usually used as a link between two people or small groups of people who speak different languages. To avoid chaos, we recommend this mode of interpreting for not more than four or five people in total.
One of the main fields of liaison interpreting is that of businesses. The interpreter needs to know both languages very well and translates what everyone says. Although in general, with liaison interpreting, the interpreter doesn´t need to do the same kind of preparation as with simultaneous or consecutive interpreting, it is still important that the client to provide c ertain material for the interpreter beforehand.
Interpreting services can be delivered in multiple modalities. The most common modality through which interpreting services are provided is on-site interpreting, and video and telephone interpreting.

New Editions of World Atlases
World atlases are still a thing, and the first of this month saw the publication of two new editions of venerable world atlases.
First, the National Geographic Atlas of the World, a new edition of which comes out every four years. This year's is the 11th.
I have to confess that I'm fond of the National Geographic: compared to other atlases it does its own thing with political maps that eschew coloured relief and explain every little boundary dispute and controversy in little red letters. It's also enormous, larger in dimension than the Times Comprehensive (though not as heavy) and with a list price of $215/£170 is slightly more expensive. National Geographic's page doesn't go into detail as to what changes were made for the 11th edition, which is a pity. (Does it have Eswatini and North Macedonia, for example?)
The Oxford Atlas of the World is a lot smaller and more affordable. At $90, it slots between the Times Universal and Concise atlases in terms of list price, though its page count is that of the more expensive Concise. It's also updated every year; this year's edition is the 26th. And the publisher's page does list some of the updates. (Eswatini and North Macedonia? Yes!)
As for the Times line of atlases, the most recent to be updated was the third-tier Times Universal Atlas ($50/£80), the 4th edition of which came out in August. Prior to that, the 5th edition of the affordable Times Desktop Atlas ($35/£20) was released in February. The 15th edition of the top-of-range Times Comprehensive Atlas ($200/£150) came out in the fall of 2018: I reviewed it here.

The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World, 15th Edition
How exactly do you review an atlas?
The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World (HarperCollins) is the flagship of the Times World Atlas line. (The others, in descending order of size and price, are the Concise, the Universal, the Reference, the Desktop and the Mini.)1 It's the latest in a long line of Times atlases, tracing its heritage to the original 1895 atlas published by the Times and the 1922 Times Survey Atlas of the World produced by the venerable Scottish mapmaking firm, John Bartholomew and Son. Like its predecessors, it's absolutely gargantuan: with the slipcase, it's 47 × 32.5 cm (16.5 × 12.8 inches) in size and weighs 5.7 kg (12.6 lb). Only the National Geographic Atlas of the World is a little bit larger, and even it weighs less than the Comprehensive (4.5 kg or 9.9 lb).2
The 15th edition of the Times Comprehensive Atlas came out on 6 September 2018 (and on 15 November 2018 in North America). HarperCollins has sent me a review copy, and I've been trying to come up with something to say about it.

Robert G. Bartholomew, 1927-2017
I've belatedly heard the news that Robert G. Bartholomew died last April in Edinburgh at the age of 90. Robert and his older brothers John and Peter, who died in 2008 and 1987, respectively, were the last of six generations of Bartholomews working for the eponymous family mapmaking firm, John Bartholomew and Son, that was, among other things, responsible for the Times series of atlases before being subsumed into the HarperCollins publishing empire. Robert served as production manager, John as director and Peter as chairman. See the NLS's Bartholomew Archive and the family's website for more on the firm's and the family's history. [WMS]

New Editions of Two Smaller Times Atlases (One Very Small Indeed)
Today marks the U.K. publication of two atlases in the Times atlas range: the eighth edition of the Times Reference Atlas of the World and the seventh edition of the Times Mini Atlas of the World.
The Reference is right in the middle of the Times atlas range: it's inexpensive (£30 list, compared to £150 for the Comprehensive, £90 for the Concise and £50 for the Universal) and presumably a bit less unwieldy. The Mini, on the other hand, is positively dainty: at 15.1 × 10.6 cm, it's smaller than a mass-market paperback! (Obviously the covers above are not to scale; see the somewhat-out-of-date comparison chart for the various atlas sizes.)
According to Amazon, both are available in Canada next month, and in the U.S. in April 2018. (If for some reason you cannot wait, here are direct links to the U.K. store: Reference, Mini.)

New Edition of Times Concise Atlas Now Out
The 13th edition of the The Times Concise Atlas of the World came out last week. The HarperCollins listing sets out the updates and changes from the previous edition (including changing "Czech Republic" to "Czechia," argh). The Concise is the second-largest of the Times world atlases and slots between the Comprehensive and the Universal in terms of physical size, page count, number of maps and place names. Here's a handy chart showing the differences between the various Times atlases. [Collins Maps]

Hubris and the Times Comprehensive Atlas
When the publishers of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World announced that the newly released 13th edition showed that Greenland's ice sheet had shrunk by 15 percent, climate scientists went ballistic. While Greenland's ice is retreating, it's not nearly by that much, and this is just the sort of error that encourages climate-change denialists.
How did Collins Geo allow this to happen? This is the question Mark Monmonier explores in a piece on the New Scientist website. Monmonier, the author of How to Lie with Maps and many other books, argues that hubris was behind the mistake: that the towering reputation of the Times Atlases led to overconfidence.
An explanation lies partly in Collins Geo's apparent decision to produce the map in house. If that was the case, the firm might have avoided its embarrassment with the obvious quality-assurance step of sending page proofs to carefully chosen experts. Appropriate scientists seldom decline invitations to serve as reviewers. […]
It seems likely there was a belief that external review was unnecessary. Moreover, it seems that none of the publisher's marketing mavens compared their provocative God's-eye view with competing treatments on readily accessible scientific websites or Google Earth.
Hubris is not too strong a word to explain HarperCollins's predicament. A press release promising "concrete evidence of how climate change is altering the face of the planet forever" invites critical scrutiny by mainstream climate scientists as well as the self-proclaimed sceptics who are ever eager to pounce on overreaching pronouncements by the former. In Atlasgate, the pro-warming community, which outnumbers naysayers by perhaps 50 to 1, wasted no time in trashing the HarperCollins map.

SEABA Latest News & Update: Gilas Pilipinas Pressured To Win It All
SEABA Press Conference in Manila.
The country will once again be in the forefront of regional sports when it hosts the Southeast Asian Basketball Association (SEABA) Championship on May 12-18 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The SEABA will serve as the qualifier to the FIBA Asia Cup set Aug. 10-20 in Lebanon, with the top 14 teams vying for spots to the 2019 World Cup in China via the new FIBA home-and-away format in November .
No less than Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Al Panlilio underscored the importance of the SEABA during a media conference held at the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria in Pasig City.
"It's a long journey for us," said Panlilio. "We have to win it (SEABA), no ifs and buts for Gilas Pilipinas."
National coach Chot Reyes echoed the sentiment, picking Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia as the teams to look out for in SEABA.
"There is no room for error here in this tournament," said Reyes, who bared other teams are probably bringing with them naturalized players.
A total of 24 players from the PBA are part of the national team pool. Meanwhile, SBP executive director Sonny Barrios said that the federation is prepared to stage the event.
"We'll be ready for the SEABA," said Barrios.
The ticket prices are P950.00 for Patron A, P900.00 for Patron B, P880.00, for Patron C, P550.00 for BOX VIP, P450.00 for BOX Regular, P200.00 for Upper Box, and P100.00 for General Admission.

Lord Elibank, of Ettrick Forest in the County of Selkirk, is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1643 for Sir Patrick Murray, 1st Baronet, with remainder to his heirs male whatsoever. He had already been created a Baronet, of Elibank, in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia in 1628. His great-great-grandson, the fifth Lord, was an author and economist. He was succeeded by his younger brother, the sixth Lord, who was an admiral in the Royal Navy. On his death the titles passed to his nephew, the seventh Lord. He represented Peeblesshire in the House of Commons and also served as Lord Lieutenant of Peeblesshire.

His great-grandson, the tenth Lord, was also Lord Lieutenant of Peebleshire. In 1911 he was created Viscount Elibank, of Elibank in the County of Selkirk, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. His eldest son and heir apparent, Alexander Murray, Master of Elibank, was a Liberal politician and was created Baron Murray of Elibank in 1912. However, he predeceased his father and the Viscount was succeeded by his younger son, the second Viscount. He sat as Member of Parliament for Glasgow St Rollox and served as Lord Lieutenant of Peeblesshire. On his death the titles passed to his younger brother, the third Viscount. He represented Kincardineshire in Parliament as a Liberal.

However, on his death in 1962 the viscountcy became extinct while he was succeeded in the baronetcy and lordship by his third cousin, the thirteenth Lord. He was the great-grandson of the Hon. James Murray, fourth son of the seventh Lord. He was succeeded his first cousin, the fourteenth Lord. He was the son of Robert Alan Erskine-Murray, uncle of the thirteenth Lord.  the titles are held by his son, the fifteenth Lord, who succeeded his father in that year.
The Honourable Alexander Murray of Elibank, fourth son of the fourth Lord, played a significant role in an abortive Jacobite conspiracy, in 1752, thereafter known as the Elibank Plot. He afterwards retired to France, where for some years he was, as "Count Murray", the representative of the Jacobite claimant "James III and VIII", known as the "Old Pretender", who created him Earl of Westminster (Letters Patent, August 12, 1759) in the Jacobite Peerage, with remainder to heirs male of the body of his father, the fourth Lord Elibank.

The family seat is The Coach House, near Sunningdale, Berkshire.

PDP: Umahi warns southeast region against its downfall
by Adaeze Enendu
David Umahi , Governor of Ebonyi state made a warning that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may crumble in the southeast if it fails to consider the advice from the people of the region. Daily Times gathers.
On Tuesday November 17 in Abakaliki , Umahi made this statement openly declaring his defection from the part to All Progressive Congress(APC).

He told journalists in Abakaliki on Tuesday that he had no regrets leaving the PDP.
The governor said he moved to the APC because of "injustice" doled out to the South-east by the PDP.
He said that he had no deal with the APC or any member of the party with regards to the zoning of the presidential position to the region.
He said: "I want to clear the air that I never sought (for) PDP presidential ticket and I will not. So whoever that said that I moved to APC because they refused to zone the ticket to me is being very mischievous.
"I don't want the PDP to collapse in the southeast but it can collapse itself in the zone if it does not heed to the peoples' advice to entrench justice, fairness, and equity."
Governor Umahi questioned why the PDP comes to the southeast zone for votes but has failed to declare its stand on the zoning of the presidency to the region.

My name is Bond, James Bond
Home » Entertainment » My name is Bond, James Bond
The most sophisticated British spy of all time has turned 60 on the big screen. From October 5, 1962, when the first of the films premiered at the London Pavilion, "Agent 007 vs. Dr. No", six different actors -Sean Connery (1962-1967; 1971; 1983), George Lazenby (1969 ), Roger Moore (1973-1985), Timothy Dalton (1987-1989), Pierce Brosnan (1995-2002) and Daniel Craig (2006-2021)- have played the spy, each of them providing the character with traits inherent to his own personality. Since that day of the premiere, and through five and a half actors (the medium is, naturally, Georges Lazenby who only shot "In Her Majesty's Service"), Bond has been part of the collective imagination with the reality of existence that the characters of popular fiction followed for generations. That is the reason why some of the actors have more or less caused a sensation by wearing the 007 agent suit. Moore, Roger Moore went so far as to declare that Daniel Craig had been "the best who has played Bond", despite his choice to embody the character was not widely applauded. According to world critics, Sean Connery, was the real James Bond, the best interpreter of him, who goes for two years that he left us forever, at 90 years of age. It was the night of October 31, accompanied by his family in Nassau, in the Bahamas.
Among the usual peculiarities of the films, the Bond girls stand out, those whom the agent has had to help or from whom he has had to defend himself. The common factor of all of them was great beauty, sculptural physiques and the possibility of becoming an icon -which some have taken advantage of better than others-, as is the case of Ursula Andress.
Hedonist and womanizer, Bond in all deliveries, there are 14 novels published by Ian Fleming, published between 1953 and 1966, and 25 films with Bond as the protagonist, he has always shown a great ability to get rid of all his enemies. 90 years later, six decades of titles later, he said "never again" for the first time.
Safely, James Bond will continue to abide by his own moral code and ask for the martini "mixed, but not shaken", because despite the physical metamorphosis of the actors who have played him, his hallmarks are immutable.

Bingo is a much-loved hobby that's enjoyed by players from all around the globe but is particularly popular in the UK and US. It's evolved from a land-based game that can still be enjoyed in dedicated clubs today to an online game that comes in many different guises. Players from both sexes and all ages (N.B., over 18's only) can get involved and play for generous cash rewards and bonus prizes, and in some cases, win physical prizes through special games and promotions.
But, if you've never played a game of bingo in your life or are only accustomed to playing in a local club, you're likely to want to know how to play bingo online before you rush off to find a suitable site to join.
The ThumbsUpBonus team knows pretty much everything there is to know about slots, casino, bingo, poker, and sports-betting. So, to help start you off on the right foot, we've created this How to Play Bingo Online Guide, which tells you everything from the basic rules and how to purchase tickets to understanding how prizes are awarded and the different game variations that you can enjoy.
N.B., you can find out more about the various online bingo variants that are offered by the UK's major brands in our guide to The Different Types of Online Bingo Games.
Compared to card games like poker and baccarat, online bingo is a doddle. So, if you're worried about having to learn complex rules, you can rest easy.
Depending on how many balls are used in each game, numbered balls appear along the top of the game screen as they are randomly drawn by the software. If a called number matches a number on your card, it is usually marked off for you automatically.
Some games require you to mark off all of the numbers on a card while others award prizes for players who complete a specified pattern such as an S-shape. There's usually an area on the page which shows you what you need to do to score a prize.
You can buy a single ticket, a strip or multiple strips depending on your preference and budget. And, another great thing about playing online rather than at a local club is that the software automatically arranges your cards for you according to which ones are closest to winning.
We've already told you that learning how to play bingo online is easy, and to prove it, this section tells you how to go about buying your cards all the way through to how the game will finish.
You begin by purchasing the required number of cards or strips, and checking the prize amount that's available, and how many prizes are up for grabs, e.g. one line, two lines, and a full house.
When the first number is announced, the game begins in earnest, and as more numbers are marked off your card, the software will let you know how close you are to a win. You'll often see 3TG, 2TG and 1TG on your cards which mean that you only need to mark off another three, two or one numbers respectively.
Any wins that you or other players achieve are automatically announced on-screen, and if there are any prizes left to be won, the game continues. There's no need to shout "House" as the software does everything for you.
Once the main prize has been awarded, the game ends and any prizes due are credited to the relevant players' accounts. You should be aware that if more than one player claims the same prize, the cash/bonus amount is split equally between the winners.
Now that you know the basics of how to play bingo online, it's time for us to give you a brief overview of the different game variants that you're likely to encounter.
90-ball games are the most popular at many sites, and they use 90 numbers. Each ticket consists of nine columns and three rows, and are populated by randomly chosen numbers from 1 to 90.
80-ball games (or speed games as they're often referred to) offer faster game-play. Each ticket uses four columns and four rows and includes numbers from 1 to 90.
75-ball games use a five-by-five grid. Across the top of each column, you'll see the letters, B, I, N, G, and O. Numbers 1 to 15 can appear in Column B; numbers 16 to 30 can appear in Column I; numbers 31 to 45 can appear in Column N; numbers 46 to 60 can appear in Column G, and numbers 61 to 75 can appear in Column O. The centre square is usually left blank and acts as a "free" square, i.e. you don't need to mark it off.
30-ball games use three rows and three columns, giving you just nine numbers to mark off. To win, you must mark off all of the numbers on the same card.
When you enter the lobby, you'll see a schedule which shows you what games are set in take place in the different rooms. The schedule lets you view the ticket price, the prize pool amount, the minimum and maximum number of tickets you can purchase, and how many players are currently in the room. You usually get the option to filter the schedule so that you can view a single room or a particular time of the day.
At some online bingo sites, you have the option to purchase tickets in advance in case you're worried you'll forget or won't be able to take part at the time that the game is set to play. Pre-buying is a popular feature among players as it helps to ensure that you never need miss out on the juiciest prizes.
There are several ways that you can make your playing experience more fun as well as potentially more profitable.
For starters, there's the chat facility that lets you converse with other roomies and also gives you the option to ask questions of the chat host. Chat hosts are there to keep everyone in high spirits, help newbies, and run chat games. The rules for the different chat games are usually explained in the chat window a couple of minutes before the game is due to start. The prizes that can be won are usually BBs, which are bingo bonus points that you can collect and redeem for bonus funds.
Side games can also make life at an online bingo site more exciting. You'll see them to the side of the game screen when you're inside a bingo room, and they let you play bingo with slots, scratch cards, instant wins, and casino games at the same time that you're participating in a bingo game. The same selection of side games is typically offered as standalone games. So, if the thought of trying to play more than one game at a time is too daunting a prospect, make sure you check whether there's a separate games lobby.
As part of discovering how to play bingo online, you'll want to grasp the basics of online bingo lingo. Now, when we say "lingo", we don't mean that you'll need a degree in French! What we're talking about are the acronyms that are commonly used in the chat rooms to save players valuable time in typing out long phrases and words.
There are also alternative names used for the bingo balls which can differ from site-to-site, but many of which are the same as the ones that you'll hear in land-based clubs. For instance, the number 13 is often accompanied by "Unlucky for Some" while the number 30 is referred to as "Dirty Gertie".
So, know you understand how to play bingo online, the fun can begin!
ThumbsUpBonus has researched and reviewed some of the UK's top bingo sites and newly-launched sites so that it's easier to find highly-recommended and trustworthy places that you can enjoy online bingo.
We'll also help you locate the most generous welcome offers for new players. At some sites, you can take advantage of a no-deposit bonus once you've registered as a member, and at others, you can claim a bonus, free spins, or free bingo cards when you make your first qualifying deposit.
Once you've spotted a site that you like the look of, all you need to do is click through to find out more or sign up.


How simple does this installation look? It's quite large and a lot of spirit and thought would have gone into its creation and execution. "Your rainbow" panorama was officially opened in May 2011. It is a permanent work of art consisting of a circular, 150-metre-long and three metre-wide circular walkway in glass in all the colours of the spectrum. Mounted on slender columns 3.5 metres above the roof and with a diameter of 52 metres, this spectacular creation extends from one edge to the other of the facade of the cubic museum building.
There are both stairs and elevator to provide visitors to the museum with access to "Your rainbow panorama". Then they can stroll through the circular, panoramic walkway providing a fantastic view of the city and the bay, a view in all the colours of the rainbow. A unique recreational area and a viewing platform for visitors to the museum some fifty metres about street level. There is full access to both the roof terrace and to Olafur Eliasson's creation.
The artist has definitely created a warm and inviting space. This special space with its rainbow colours gives you a feeling of being enveloped in a warm and cosy hug. Something that transcends the here and now and transports you to another place, that place being in an embrace with Jesus. Of course, each to their own, but it gives a soft and warm feeling and one that feels safe, safe in the arms of Jesus.
It does capture the spirit of the artist, by creating this sacred space, he quotes… "that it can almost be said to erase the boundary between inside and outside", something bigger than itself and its boundaries.

Changing people's lives through Christian music
McClain grad is youth leader, tenor for gospel music group
By Johanna Kelley - For The Times-Gazette
Editor's note — The following question and answer story was put together by Johanna Kelley, a jounalism student at McClain High School in Greenfield. It is about MHS graduate Dusty Barrett, the Greenfield Church of Christ IMPACT youth group leader and tenor for gospel group Soul'd Out Quartet.
Q — What's the craziest thing that's happened to you while on the job?
A — There are many weird/crazy things that have happened. I have traveled on the road for 19 years, so being in many different places has allowed me to see and experience a lot of things, from weird people in truck stops, to bus breakdowns along the road. Being on a tour bus with a bunch of guys and having a lot of down time could be considered weird or crazy.
Q — When you were in high school, did you ever think you would be where you are now?
A — Absolutely not. I actually tried to do whatever I could to make sure I didn't do this. From the time I was really little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. I worked really hard and got an academic scholarship to Ohio State University. When I got there, I really messed up and lost my scholarship. I ended up transferring to a Christian school where I grew up a lot and realized I had a passion for music and singing. I am very blessed that I have been able to do something that I love while being able to support my family. Now, I wouldn't want to be anything else.
Q — What motivates you?
A — Obviously, supporting my family motivates me, but I'm in a profession that I have the opportunity to literally change people's lives. When people are hurting or lost or broken, it's my hope that they are encouraged by my music and find comfort and healing in what I'm singing about.
Q — If you weren't in the profession you are in now, what's something else you would consider doing?
A — I also work at my church as a youth minister, and I love that as well. I would love to pastor a church. I could see myself as a music teacher at a school. When my traveling days are over, that would be something I could see myself enjoying.
Q — How has this job changed you?
A — My job changes weekly, I think. I (have met) so many different people who spiritually or emotionally either added to or took away from me. I have learned to really study people. Also, my job is always different; circumstances or plans can change on a second's notice, so it's taught me to be patient and flexible, to not get upset, to just go with the flow because "the show must go on."
Q — How has technology made your job easier/harder?
A — Technology is very critical to my job. First, I set up and run the sound system, so I have to stay up to date with that area of technology. It's always changing. Also, social media, marketing, web design, mass emails, etc. — all of that is part of what I do. It's impossible to grow without it. I have recently become very interested in graphic design and video editing. They're all things that need to be done, and if you can do it yourself, it can save your group (quartet) a ton of money.
Q — What's your proudest accomplishment?
A — My proudest accomplishment is knowing what I do helps people. When someone writes to me to say that a song I wrote or sang helped them through a tough time or changed their life around, that makes it all worth it. I have a girl in Florida who was on a ventilator and was recovering from a brain hemorrhage. Her mom told me a couple of months ago that they played a song I wrote on repeat in her hospital room. She sent me a video of the girl singing my song from her hospital bed. I've received awards and sang in front of 15,000 people, but none of them compare to a story like that.

At the heart of the band's sound are the twin engines of Ryan McKasson's dynamic, Scottish-based fiddling and the amazing picking of mandolinist Ashley Broder. Jeff Spero provides inventive piano accompaniment, anchored by the driving power of Christa Burch's bodhrán. Christa also lends her singular voice — warm, supple, expressive, and intimate — to the band's songs. Together, they create a "chamber folk" sound, characterized by the compelling, rhythmic interplay of fiddle and mandolin, rich vocals, and unexpected colors and rhythms from the piano and bodhrán. The exuberant joy they derive from the music and each other is palpable and contagious.
An energetic dance band from Boston, the Free Raisins fuse New England roots with a modern groove. The band features Audrey Knuth on a driving and lyrical fiddle, Amy Englesberg on creative piano, and Jeff Kaufman on foot-stompin' mandolin and dance-movin' trumpet. They promise a versatile mix of supremely danceable tunes, guaranteed to get your feet moving. Come out and get your two scoops worth!

Life and death…writes Michael Kuttner
July 2, 2014 by Michael Kuttner
There can be no bigger contrast between the Islamic cult of venerating death and the Jewish tradition of hallowing life. It is at times like this when the glaring differences are on display for all to see. It contains a lesson for all of us and in particular for those who continue to dwell in some sort of parallel universe where the victims of terror are categorized as authors of their own misfortunes.
Michael Kuttner
The Islamic terror groups, one of which is presently a partner of President Abbas, our much touted misnamed peace partner, promote and indeed revere death, martyrdom and its heavenly rewards. This sick article of faith combined with an intense hatred of Jews, Judaism and the Jewish State, make a toxic mixture which has poisoned generations of youth and today is gaining a growing legion of followers not only in Moslem countries but also in the midst of democratic nations particularly in Europe. An obsession with death, murder and delegitimisation of those who do not subscribe to their creed is not a new phenomenon as some would have us believe but can be traced back in a direct line to jihad warriors in the name of militant Islam over the last 1,900 years or so.
How does this death cult manifest itself on our door step today? We can see the barbarism to which it has descended by observing what is happening in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Nigeria to name just a few examples of its modern day worship. However look at what is happening on a daily basis amongst those of our neighbors, the international community and naïve Jews who continue to deem them peace partners. Their media and school textbooks are full of glorification for jihad, murder of Jews (and Christians) and descriptions of us as sons of pigs and apes. The Arab public is saturated on a daily basis with incitement and false accusations and glorification of those who have murdered Jewish men, women, children and babies. There are schools, summer camps and public squares named in their memory and honor and pictures of those who have murdered are displayed prominently.
Friday sermons contain inciting hatred against Jews while an almost continuous procession of Arab and Moslem nations accuse Israel in all international forums of any and every crime.
Contrast this with Judaism's emphasis on peace, its endless references to peace in our prayers and our belief that all of humanity is created in the image of God. We do not demand that non believers must become Jewish and our Faith promotes the concept of all righteous people regardless of their religion or lack of one, being rewarded for their good deeds at some stage in the future. Our yearning for the messianic age is based on our belief that this event will bring universal peace and justice and that the rebuilt Temple will be a place of pilgrimage for all nations. Judaism holds life to be sacrosanct and we are commanded to do anything to preserve it.
When Jews are murdered by Islamic terrorists our neighbors celebrate by letting off fireworks and distributing candies to adults and children. What sort of lesson does this teach the masses? When an Arab is killed by the IDF an inquiry takes place to determine culpability. The terror groups target civilians deliberately by firing rockets and when Jewish houses are hit and casualties caused this is an excuse for celebrations by the perpetrators.
We mourn, pray and sing psalms for the souls of those murdered by terror. We envelop the bereaved families in a blanket of love and sympathy and concentrate on living and making a better country and society.
In contrast those who murder us celebrate and honor the murderers and look forward to continuing their evil deeds.
As we in Israel and Jews worldwide mourn for the 3 teenage students so cruelly taken from us because they were Jews let us also remind ourselves that our morality and ethical beliefs will at the end of the day triumph over those who wallow in death and hate.
Michael Kuttner is a Jewish New Zealander who for many years was actively involved with various communal organisations connected to Judaism and Israel. He now lives in Israel and is J-Wire's correspondent in the region.

Ritchie says:
What a superb article. Your writing is always exemplary and your abililty to go to the very heart of these issues provides us all with great ammunition to fight the Naysayers – who are at best ignorant and at worst outright pathological Jew haters. Thanks you so much. Kind Regards, Ritchie Singer
Evil lives on both sides and it seems that Jewish evil can be no less heinous. Hussein Ahbu Khdeir, age 16, appears to have been murdered by a a "revenge" for the killing of the three boys.
When our army celebrates the life and legacy of the late Meir Har-Zion (and disseminates his biography as a gift to inspire young soldiers).. who bragged about carrying out this sort of reprisal against innocents in response to the killing of Jews.. why does it surprise that this is what we appear to be seeing now. … I am wrought with shame that this boy was murdered just because he was a Palestinian and and Arab.


According to Forbes.com, 2002 World Series of Poker champion Robert Varkonyi and his wife are suing a New York hedge fund for fraud.
According to the Forbes.com article, Varkonyi and his wife reportedly made a $1.4 million investment in Chetan Kapur's ThinkStrategy Capital Management TS Multi-Strategy Fund back in early 2008.
The article claims that "Kapur's hedge funds had been invested in the Sarasota, Fla., hedge fund managed by Arthur Nadel, which turned out to be a $168 million Ponzi scheme". Varkonyi "alleges his investment in Kapur's TS Multi-Strategy Fund may be decimated by the improper liquidation of the hedge fund that began in November".
Arthur Nadel, who has been dubbed as the "Mini-Madoff", was sentenced to 14 years in prison back in October of 2010.
Varkonyi and his wife, Olga, are seeking the return of their $1.4 million investment.
Robert Varkonyi currently has over $2.25 million in total lifetime tournament cashes, with the bulk of this money ($2 million) coming as a result of his win in the 2002 World Series of Poker main event.

In 1922, infectious diseases accounted for 15% of all deaths in Australia, but this rate declined dramatically to 1% by 2007 due to a combination of antibiotics, vaccination and public health measures. Yet infectious diseases continue to feature prominently in Australia. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has just released its biennial publication on the health of the nation, Australia's health 2010 — a statistical and informed commentary that examines a variety of health issues dominating the national landscape.1 Here, I summarise the report's chapter on infectious diseases to paint a picture of where we are today and the challenges we may well face in our future.
I wrote the infectious diseases chapter in Australia's health 2010 on which this article is based. This work was done purely on a voluntary basis.
