It is located off of Briarlake Road in Dekalb County, Georgia. While not technically within the city limits of Atlanta, it is very close to the city center. We are situated inside the Perimeter in the northeast quadrant with a drive of only 15 minutes to Mid-town. Our community is comprised of custom built homes made up of traditional ranches, split level homes, colonial style homes and homes of mid-century architecture. In order to keep our uniqueness, we do not have a home owners association with covenants governing thinks like what color to paint your house, or what your mailbox must look like. Rather, we have a civic association (Greenwood Acres Civic Association).
The GACA has several committees that work together to make sure that Greenwood Acres remains as the lovely neighborhood that we all love. | geography |

The cable car 'Trockener Steg – Klein Matterhorn' is part of the project that will connect Cervina in Italy with Zermatt in 2021 with a panoramic ride via Klein Matterhorn - the Matterhorn always in view. The new 3S cable car replaces the aerial tramway, which was not very reliable due to its susceptibility to wind. The new cable car is more wind-stable and has a higher capacity. At the extremely exposed location at 3820 m a. s. l. on the western flank of the 3883-metre-high Klein Matterhorn in Zermatt, the cable car station of the new three-cable circulating cable car is probably the highest wooden building in Europe. The crystalline building form takes up the design language of the existing cable car station and discreetly embeds the large building volume in the landscape. The west facade is completely covered with partially transparent photovoltaic panels and allows the arrival hall to shine in a friendly, almost sacral light, depending on the weather.

It’s a sound that conjures majestic memories and inspires greatness, and within minutes, you’re hastily trying to book the property, Moonbah Huts in the Snowy Mountains.
Consisting of two unique stone/slab huts, the River Hut and Lake Hut, Moonbah is your quintessential Man From Snowy River experience! Consumers love to live out their favourite movie fantasies, and the owners are reaping the benefits.
This Stayz’s 2015 Best Unique Property in NSW award winner is also an excellent example of how consumers do not necessarily require five-star to be blown away, but they do appreciate authenticity.
While only built in 2003, you’d swear these cattlemen’s huts had stood for a century or more. In fact, owner Brett Smith modelled their design on one that did exist nearby for easily that long. Inside, you’ll find an 80-year-old wood stove, 100-year-old wrought iron beds, 70-year-old fly fishing rods and an 80-year-old fully functioning candlestick telephone.
Guests to Moonbah take a breath of fresh mountain air and step back in time.
Parrrrradise. This has to be the best place in the world, awesome place. Words can’t describe it, magical, picturesque, a slice of heaven – really it has to be seen to be believed. If only we could have stayed a little longer, the log fire, the long showers – the huge trout. Scones cooked in the wood oven. OMG it’s amazing. Tripadvisor
Overall, Moonbah ticks all the boxes for a great mountain escape.
A SPECTACULAR LOCATION WITH ABUNDANT WILDLIFE AND GREAT FISHING
The scenery at Moonbah is breathtaking, as well as at night when millions of bright stars make it an astronomer’s paradise.
It has wildlife in abundance, from kangaroos, emus, wombats, wild brumbies, platypus, wild deer, frogs, and sixty plus species of birdlife. Cattle, rabbits and the owner’s Border Collie, Buster, also add to the country atmosphere.
Moonbah is a fisherman’s paradise, providing guests private access to the Blue Ribbon declared Moonbah River – the region’s most pristine trout stream. The Lake Hut also fronts a small private lake containing brown, brook and rainbow trout. Expert fly guiding and tuition can be arranged with rods and all the required gear available for hire.
For the adventurous, Norco 24 speed suspension bikes are on hand for a mountain ride or guests can take a plethora of external tours to invigorate the soul.
OUT OF THIS WORLD BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO AMENITIES
Importantly, for today’s city-based travellers, Moonbah is far enough away for guests to feel like they are the only people on the planet but close enough to all the services that they are accustom to, located a short 15 minutes drive from the ski resort town of Jindabyne.
RUSTIC HUTS WITH SPECIAL TOUCHES TO SURPRISE GUESTS
Maintaining heritage authenticity, the Moonbah Huts are certainly not a 5-star resort, but they offer rustic granite walls and impressive timber beams combined with a little bit of luxe.
To stay toasty warm in this extreme environment, the huts feature beautiful open stone fireplaces and underfloor heating. Keeping with tradition, there is no television reception, no mobile phone service, and no internet access; though there is a docking station for musical enjoyment!
The beautifully presented bedrooms offer high-quality bedding, snuggly fur inspired quilts and electric blankets.
Throughout, guests experience thoughtfully memories of a bygone era.
A particularly guest favourite is the use of old newspaper cuttings on toilet walls that date back to the 1920’s.
A luxuriating claw foot bath provides the perfect way to finish the day. Alternatively, guests can unwind in a rocking chair on the verandah or on an outdoor lounge, lakeside.
Understanding the importance of ‘special touches’, Brett also surprises guests with local schnapps, Maggie Beer ice cream, Swiss chocolates, and Penfolds wine.
In closing, we will let a past guest have the last word as ultimately it’s the consumer we all need to please:
Thanks, Moonbah Hut for one of our most memorable holidays yet! …too rare combination of natural beauty, perfect accommodation, and outstanding host. Tripadvisor
Not only has uniqueness and authenticity created highly satisfied customers, it has also generated fantastic PR opportunities. The Huts have hosted the Channel 7 Sunrise program, Channel 9’s The Living Room and have featured in numerous national and international magazines.
It pays to stand out from the crowd!

Investment Accelerates Expansion of Fiber Broadband Network by Tenfold and Creates Hundreds of New Jobs
Rochester, NY- March 7, 2022 - Greenlight Networks (“Greenlight”), a leading fiber-to-the home provider in New York State, announced today that it has entered into an agreement under which Oak Hill Capital (“Oak Hill”), a New York-based middle-market private equity firm, will acquire a controlling interest in Greenlight through its most recent 2022 vintage fund, Oak Hill Capital Partners VI. This new investment will accelerate Greenlight’s growth in building and connecting fiber-to-the-home broadband services across New York state and beyond.
With multiple investments in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) space dating back to 2014, Oak Hill has actively supported increased fiber access across the United States. Greenlight’s network reaches approximately 80,000 homes today, and the company believes it will reach more than 800,000 homes with broadband Internet. To support this expansion, Oak Hill plans to invest up to $300 million in the company. Greenlight currently has 160 employees and expects to add 70 additional jobs by the end of this year, creating economic development and employment opportunities for local contractors.
“Oak Hill is an ideal partner to support our growth strategy, and its commitment of capital, resources and expertise is critical as we prepare to grow,” said Greenlight Founder and Chief Executive Officer Mark Murphy. “Like Greenlight, Oak Hill understands that fiber Internet is the future and rapid expansion is necessary to meet the growing demand. This investment comes at an important time when the federal government has made broadband a national priority with enhanced broadband benefits and new capital available for broadband expansion in unserved and underserved areas. We hope to participate in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and are a proud provider of the Affordable Connectivity Program. Greenlight is primed to address the broadband emergency in New York state and beyond where consumers often either have limited or no choice for broadband.”
“Oak Hill believes that access to reliable, high-speed fiber Internet connections represents a fundamental necessity for all communities, large and small,” said Scott Baker, a Partner at Oak Hill. “We enthusiastically support Greenlight’s mission to expand Internet access and drive economic growth in underserved cities and towns across New York state and the northeast, and we share the company’s continued commitment to delivering the highest quality service experience possible for all customers. We are excited to partner with our long-time friend Mark Murphy and the rest of the talented Greenlight management team to further accelerate the company’s growth.”
Greenlight Networks was founded in 2011 by CEO Mark Murphy. Murphy and the existing Greenlight management team will continue to lead the company in conjunction with the Oak Hill team.
“I’d like to thank my partners and board members, Tom Golisano and Tom Bonadio of Impact Capital. Since 2018, they have funded our growth and expansion into three new regions, enabled us to grow our staff from 18 to 160 employees, created hundreds of jobs for local contractors, connected tens of thousands of households to the fastest Internet available, and brought much needed broadband competition to consumers in Upstate New York,” added Murphy. “New York continues to be fortunate to have these gentlemen investing here, and I’ve been fortunate to learn a great deal about how to accelerate our business from them.”
The transaction, which is expected to close this spring, is subject to New York State Public Service Commission approval. Bank Street Group LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Greenlight Networks and TD Securities served as financial advisor to Oak Hill in connection with this transaction. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Things have been pretty non-stop here since we arrived. We got to our hotel at approximately 6:00pm on April 26th, and unpacked our bags, and ate dinner. After dinner we had a safety lecture regarding the dangers involved with snorkeling and some of the creatures we may encounter which may do us harm.
After that we were all pretty quick to get into bed and get a good long sleep, as we have been in airports since 7:00 that morning.
The next morning was an early one, and we were up and eating breakfast by 7:00am. At 8:00am the group met in the “lab” building and suited up for our first snorkeling experience! Dressed to the nines in our wetsuits and toting with us our flippers, masks and snorkels, we walked to a nearby beach area, (Stafford Creek Beach) and began our adventuring! The beach was quaint and small, and had it not been for the occasionally anchored sailboat, you would have thought you were marooned on a deserted island somewhere!
We snorkeled around the area, getting to know the common fish, algae and plant species, and recording those we couldn’t identify. We spent all morning in the water and at around 11:30 we made our way back to the hotel for lunch.
After lunch we again donned our [very attractive] wetsuits and made our way just past the beach we visited in the morning and down to a small “resort” of sorts. Here we got on a boat and took a trip out to a blue hole.
Blue hole are essentially large depressions or drop offs which are circular in shape and can be seen aerial, since they appear as a large dark blue circle in the middle of the turquoise sea. These areas were FILLED. With fish of all types, shapes, sizes and colours. It was pretty amazing to be able to see them relatively up close!
After we did some exploring of the area, we completed some monitoring in the form of quadrat sampling and line transects (all of which is much more difficult to complete underwater in the middle of the ocean!). We snorkeled around there for approximately three hours and by 4:30 we were making our way back to the beach by boat. During our data collection we collected samples of algae and vegetation which we could not identify so that we could look at them more closely when we got back to the lab.
Dinner was at 6:00 pm, then we had our usual lecture after dinner from 7:00pm until 9:30pm.
After a full day of sun and activity, we were all pretty tired and simply headed to bed in preparation for another full, busy and tiring day.
April 28th 2013
This schedule for the morning today was the same as any other day, breakfast at 7:00 am and then meeting to leave for our daily excursion at 8:00 am. Today we went and explored around inside of a mangrove mangle and got pretty muddy in the process. In the mangle we completed line transect and my group even got to see a shark!! Up close and personal, swam right into our legs! That was pretty amazing.
After we were finished taking our measurements from the mangroves mangle, we made out way back to the hotel for some lunch.
After lunch we got suited up in our wet suits and headed upstream. Once upstream we swam along the shore and collected data and observations on fish animal and plant species seen within varying shoreline compositions.
Day 3 on the Island- April 29th 2013
Today was a full day excursion day, and it was amazing! We left the hotel at around 8:30am and took a boat out into the middle of the ocean and got to swim around some patch reefs. (these are essentially just patches of reef and not a full reef). Here in among the patch reefs we saw tons of fish and tons of coral. Among some of the fish we saw here we saw; Scrawled Cowfish, Angelfish, Sergeant Major fish, Damselfish, Parrot fish and even a ray! (I have/will be including pictures)
We snorkeled around the patch reefs until about 11:30am and then headed back to the boat. We then took the boat over to a totally deserted, abandoned island and had a packed sandwich and chip lunch.
We spent another 40 minutes hanging out on the island, exploring and collecting shells (I found a big conch shell!).
After our lunch break was over we climbed back into the boat and headed for a place called “Rat Key”. Here we got to explore around another Blue hole. While we were there among the highlights of the species seen was a GIANT southern stingray! It was easily 3 feet in diameter. It was hiding half buried in the sand at the bottom of the blue hole, until it got spooked and, almost majestically, floated up out of the sand and swam away. At the blue hole we also got to get up close and personal with some very interesting brain coral, sea rods and anemones. We also got to see Blue Tang fish, Gray Angelfish, French Angelfish, Yellowtail Snappers, Gray Snappers, Stoplight Parrotfish, Starfish, and plenty of rock boring urchins! | geography |

Go whitewater rafting, trek through the rainforest, climb a volcano, snorkel, or fish. Then there are the Pacific and Caribbean beaches, separated by just 75 miles of the narrow peninsula.
- Arenal Volcano National Park
Explore the rich biodiversity of Arenal Volcano National Park. Consisting of rainforests, a lake, hot springs, and two volcanoes, the park offers plenty to do and see! As a protected area, the land is well-maintained to ensure the conservation of its ecosystem. Get an up-close view of the park’s two volcanoes, Arenal and Chato. Arenal is the country’s most active volcano, with small eruptions occurring multiple times daily. On the other hand, Chato has been dormant for more than 3,000 years. The park has a gorgeous setting, with lush rainforests amid the serene Lake Arenal.
- Coffee plantations
If you’re a coffee lover, a trip to one of Costa Rica’s coffee plantations is a must! Initially, growing coffee beans was seen as a way to boost the local economy, but the country has since become one of the best coffee producers in the world. All coffee is made from Arábica beans. Fertile soil, high altitude, and lots of rain enhance the beans’ flavor. It’s no wonder the Arábica bean is known as the “golden bean.” Take a tour and learn the history and production techniques used to curate this delicious coffee. There are coffee plantations throughout the country, but many are in the Central Valley.
- Playa Panama
Located in Guanacaste province, Playa Panama is one of the most attractive beaches in the area. The waters are crystal blue, surrounding pristine beaches perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the dry tropical forests. These forests are home to over 300 species of bird, 100 reptiles and amphibians, and more than 140 species of mammals, including pumas, white-faced monkeys, peccary, tapirs, and so much more! Playa Panama offers travelers a tranquil atmosphere without the crowds of a downtown area and is perfect for solo travelers and groups.
- San José
Costa Rica’s capital city is relatively small compared to other countries. This compact space has all the elements of a traditional capital city: museums, national parks, and a bustling business district. But contrary to its capital counterparts, breathtaking natural beauty awaits outside its perimeter. The La Paz Waterfall Gardens are the perfect stop before heading into or out of the city. Here, you will find magnificent waterfalls surrounded by fascinating flora and fauna. Once in the city, immerse yourself in the local lifestyle by listening to street performers, browsing the stalls of merchants selling artisan crafts, and learning about history and culture with a visit to a museum, like the Jade Museum. Relax like a local with Costa Rica’s national drink, Guaro.
- Outdoor adventures
Thanks to its warm weather, lush landscape, and incredible wildlife, there is no shortage of adventure in Costa Rica! From leisurely bird-watching or relaxing in a hot spring to adrenaline-inducing activities such as walking high in the sky on an aerial bridge or white water rafting through fierce rapids, any adventurer will fall in love with the outdoor lifestyle that awaits you. Check out our Costa Rica tour to get ideas for your trip!
- Hot springs
With so many exhilarating activities to do, pamper yourself and relax with one of the numerous hot springs found throughout the country. Costa Rica is home to five active volcanoes, so it’s no surprise that hot springs are one of the country’s most popular attractions. Formed by volcanic springs heated underground, the hot springs offer the ultimate pampering experience for travelers to unwind and renew in the mineral-rich waters. So sit back and enjoy a therapeutic soak after a long day of exploration.

Capital: San José
|Please see our Entry Requirements page.
Malaria is present in Costa Rica. Take precautions against getting mosquito bites. Speak with your doctor about taking a prescription medicine (before, during, and after your trip) to prevent malaria.
Costa Rica is a year-round destination. Temperatures in San Jose and the Central Highlands are mild and springlike. The mountains can be cool at night. Coastal areas tend to be hot and steamy, but hot and dry in the Pacific northwest.
December through May is Costa Rica's relatively dry period. June through October tends to be wetter, but as a result the vegetation looks even more verdant during this time.
Most restaurants include the 13% restaurant tax and the 10% service charge. Check the bottom of the menu or ask your server if the charge is included. Add a small tip on top of the 10% service charge if you feel the service was excellent.
|Money & Credit Cards
U.S. credit/debit cards are widely accepted throughout Costa Rica and typically offer the best exchange rate.
Always notify your bank prior to departure to avoid any problems using your credit or debit card while traveling.
Shop for pottery, traditional miniature painted oxcarts, jewelry made of semiprecious stones, hand-painted feathers, wood carvings, leather goods, and other high quality handicrafts. Tasty local treats such as coffee, rum, coffee liqueur, macadamia nuts and hearts of palm, also make great souvenirs.
|Electricity & Power Adapters
Voltage: 110-120 volts. Plugs A & B. You will probably need a voltage converter and plug adapter in order to use U.S. appliances. We recommend getting a universal adapter and converter kit.

I often cover health and environmental issues, but I'm generally interested in reported narratives about complex people and places. I've reported all over the United States and in Latin America for Rolling Stone, Narratively, Guernica, and other publications. My work has been shortlisted for the Livingston Awards and the National Awards for Education Reporting, and supported by the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting. In 2018 my reporting on race and infant mortality received the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism.
I’ve reported from the U.S.-Mexico border on the separation of immigrant families; from Oklahoma on a legacy of nuclear poisoning; from Oregon during the Bundy brothers’ occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge; from West Virginia on the opioid crisis; and from Tennessee on the aftermath of an immigration raid.

There are plenty of things to do in and around Oberhof. Within walking distance from the hotel you will find an Exotarium and an Aquapark (H2Oberhof). You can visit the Ski Jumps and the Bobsleigh Run. Do you dare to take a seat in a real bob and try it out?
If this feels to wintery to you, you can also have a swim in the lake next to the camping ground. And of course, there are plenty of hiking trails through the Thuringian Forest starting in Oberhof. Explore them yourselves or take part in a guided tour. There are also guided night walks with torches. After too much of hiking, you might consider making a trip by horse carriage.
Within Germany, Thuringia is famous for two kinds of food: Bratwurst and Klöße. Want to know more about Germany’s most famous sausage? Visit the Bratwurst Museum in a neighbouring town. Or learn how to make the original Thüringer Klöße, a special kind of potato dumplings in a cooking workshop with the current Kloßkönigin, the Dumpling Queen. (No, we didn’t made this up!)
Eat and drink
Restaurants are plenty and very affordable in Oberhof. You can have a good lunch or dinner in a restaurant close to the tournament for around 6€. A good beer (0.3l) in a restaurant costs around 2€. (Want to spend even less on food? There is also a McDonald’s in Oberhof, or you can buy food in supermarkets, bakeries and other shops in town.)
Besides traditional German food, there are a number of international restaurants (e.g. Italian, Chinese, Swiss, Bulgarian) and – for a special treat – some nice upper-scale restaurants with international cuisine. Finally, Oberhof also offers a number of bars and pubs for those who don’t only want to play Go until late at night…
Oberhof is ideally located within the heart of Germany, so there are many one-day or half-day trips possible to places with top tourist attractions , such as Eisenach (the city of Martin Luther), Saalfeld (with its “Fairy Cave”), Weimar (city of Goethe and Schiller), Leipzig (one of the major German cities), Erfurt (with its famous cathedral), Bamberg (with its picturesque medieval city center), Lauscha (where you can blow glass by yourself) and many more. There will be guided tours provided by the hotel, but of course you can also easily explore these places by yourself – getting there by car or train is fast and convenient.
Here we have some photos for you to give you a first impression… | geography |

Did you know that AdWords lets you bid on the postal code level when it comes to the location bidding?
Let us say that you want to target the United Kingdom in your AdWords campaign. You can achieve that fairly easily by entering “United Kingdom” in the location targeting settings in the AdWords platform. This is how 80% of AdWords users set up AdWords targeting.
Now, let us say that you want to be more aggressive in some region of the country, in one city or in the radius of your store or even in the postal code where your customers live.
You can achieve all of that by adding more narrow locations in the Settings tab of your campaign. Once you are in the Settings tab, click on the Locations tab and make sure that you go into the Advanced search settings.
Here you have an option to add or exclude radios targets, cities, neighborhoods or even postal codes of your wanted locations.
If you want to bulk add the postal code numbers for your selected country, there are two suggested ways to do that:
Google/Wikipedia: http://bfy.tw/BouQ (for the UK example that we have)
Google AdWords API location list: https://goo.gl/IoeiSx
Either way, you need to find the locations you want to enter in bulk and copy them here:
*You can only add 999 at a time.
And once you do that, click on the Search button. And then click on the button titled Add all matched locations.
You have to find the proper list since Google AdWords has a specific way it depicts these locations in bulk.
Once you add all of the desired locations, all that is left to do is to Save the settings and possibly bid on them or wait for more data before doing so.
That would be it, dear advanced AdWords user. 🙂

Hamvention which is located in our hometown of Dayton and the Bay Area Maker Faire in the San Fransisco area.
We attended Hamvention for a third year in a row and had a great time meeting so many customers and getting to show off the latest Raspberry Pi and our line of weatherproof cases. We brought along five Raspberry Pi demos each showing off a different aspect of the single board computer's capabilities. There was also a huge array of other vendors selling everything from 3D printers to telegraph machines. Outside they had a massive flea market selling every imaginable type of electronics from the past 50 years. If you have never attended it is certainly worth the experience.
See photos from the event! - Hamvention 2016 photos on Facebook
Bay Area Maker Faire 2016
We displayed at the Bay Area Maker Faire for the first time ever! Our booth was right next to our friends at the Raspberry Pi Foundation and just across from Ultimaker 3D Printers. We met a lot of great people and saw a plethora of great maker projects throughout the faire. We really had an amazing time and if you have a chance to go to a Maker Faire we suggest you go!

As the pandemic progresses, it is unclear if the disparities have evolved. In this study, we aim to elicit the dynamic landscape of COVID-19 disparities at the community level and identify newly emerged vulnerable subpopulations. Materials and Methods: We compiled biweekly COVID-19 case counts of 274 zip code tabulation areas (ZCTAs) in Arizona from October 21, 2020, to November 25, 2021, during which the COVID-19 growth rate has changed significantly. Within each growth period, we detected health disparities by testing associations between the growth rate of COVID-19 cases in a ZCTA and the population composition of race/ethnicity, income, employment, and age. We then compared the associations between periods to discover temporal patterns of health disparities. Results: High percentage of Latinx or Black residents, high poverty rate, and young median age were risk factors of high cumulative COVID-19 case counts in a ZCTA. However, the impact of these factors on the growth rate of new COVID-19 cases varied. While high percentage of Black residents and young median age remained as risk factors of fast COVID-19 growth rate, high poverty rate became a protective factor. The association between the percentage of Latinx residents and the COVID-19 growth rate converted from positive to negative during summer 2021. The unemployment rate emerged as a new risk factor of fast COVID-19 growth rate after September 2021. Based on these findings, we identified 37 ZCTAs that are highly vulnerable to fast escalation of COVID-19 cases. Discussion and Conclusion: As the pandemic progresses, disadvantaged communities continue suffering from escalated risk of COVID-19 infection. But the vulnerabilities have evolved. While the disparities related to Latinx ethnicity improved gradually, those related to Black ethnicity and young communities aggravated. The struggle of financially disadvantaged communities continued, although the burden had shifted from those living under the poverty line to those with a high unemployment rate. It is necessary to adjust current resource allocations and design and deploy new interventions to address emerging needs.

A discussion with filmmaker Ben Raines will follow the showing and ticket proceeds will support efforts to designate the area as a marine sanctuary.
This nature documentary details the discovery and exploration of an ancient cypress forest found 60 feet underwater in the Gulf of Mexico, due south of Gulf Shores, Alabama. The forest dates to an ice age more than 60,000 years ago, when sea levels were about 400 feet lower than they are today.
Scientists believe giant waves driven by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 uncovered the forest. It appears to be a wholly unique relic of our planet’s past, the only known site where a coastal ice age forest this old has been preserved in place. It is considered a treasure trove of information, providing new insights into everything from climate in the region to annual rainfall, insect populations, and the types of plants that inhabited the Gulf Coast before humans arrived in the new world. Scientific analysis of the site is ongoing.
Tickets: $10. Location: 65 Government St., Mobile, AL. For more information visit JoinACF.org. | geography |

An entity affiliated with Urban Visions acquired this 19,000 square foot development site in the spring of 2004. Located at the southeast corner of Second and Pike Streets, it is arguably one of the most prominent locations in all of downtown Seattle. Greg, one of the original proponents of taller slender towers in the city, helped increase the property’s allowable height limit from approximately 200 feet to 440 feet. While currently leased to Diamond Parking, Urban Visions is in the midst of designing a 35-story LEED-certified apartment tower to be developed in the future. The 340-unit apartment project is being designed by Tom Kundig of Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects and will feature a destination “Sky Bar” and restaurant overlooking Pike Place Market. With protected views of Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, and Lake Union, the proposed apartment tower will be a breathtaking addition to Seattle’s red carpet, Pike Street. | geography |

It is probably a latinised version of the Anglo Saxon word for Danish. In October 1984 the Council was granted borough status and became Dacorum Borough Council.
Dacorum covers 81 square miles of West Hertfordshire where it borders with Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It extends Northwest almost from Watford, along the valleys of the Gade and Bulbourne rivers to the picturesque Chiltern Hills. Dacorum consists of four main towns - Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring and Kings Langley together with many outlying rural villages such as Aldbury, Wigginton and Flamstead. The total population is around 155,000 which is 13% of the total population of Hertfordshire. The main lines of communication through the Borough are the A41 bypass, the A4251, the Euston to Glasgow (West Coast main line) railway and the Grand Union Canal. The M1 runs down the eastern boundary and the M25 crosses the south-eastern tip of the Borough. | geography |

I would always keep a local TV meteorologist on at the same time, and track the storm with him. Since then, I knew I wanted to be on TV, warning the community of any upcoming weather danger.
I'm excited to have the opportunity to continue my career in the Miami Valley! I am an Ohioan all around. I was born in Cleveland and moved to Mansfield when I was five, where I lived until heading farther down I-71 to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University. Go Bucks!
After college, I moved back home to Mansfield to work for WMFD-TV, presenting the forecast at noon and in the evening five days a week. Months later, I was given the opportunity to head to WFMJ-TV in Youngstown, where I covered the evening weather shift every other weekend, while still working in Mansfield. It was a blast, but definitely a crazy life for a few months before leaving Mansfield to work in Youngstown in a permanent position. I left WFMJ in January of 2015 to join ABC 22 and FOX 45.
When I'm not at work, I still love tracking storms. Occasionally, I'll head out in the car to chase severe weather. I have experience chasing in the Great Plains, and I was only a mile away when an EF-5 tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma, on May 20th, 2013.
Outside of weather, I like traveling, trying new restaurants, playing video games, and riding all of the fantastic roller coasters at Kings Island and Cedar Point.
I'm an Ohio sports guy! Obviously, I bleed Scarlet and Gray, but, I come from a big Cleveland sports family, so I love my Browns, Indians and Cavaliers.
Despite this, I will cheer on the Reds when they're not playing the Indians. I'll support the Bengals as well, especially when they're playing Pittsburgh or Baltimore. | geography |

The belief that no matter one’s faith, origin, background, or beliefs, we all need to eat. That the feeling of being nourished belongs to everyone. That growing clean, healthy food doesn’t need to be hard or expensive or take vast knowledge and skill. That even in challenging conditions, we can grow plenty of good food to share. We didn’t know what was going to happen when we started this journey but it turns out that you agree with us. For that, we thank you.
Over the last two years, Foundroot has grown to stand on its own in a way that we never anticipated. With the support that you have given us and after much searching and careful consideration, we have finally found our home in the town of Haines, AK.
Although we will miss Southcentral Alaska, we chose to purchase land in the town of Haines for very specific reasons. In order to make Foundroot viable, we needed to head to a part of Alaska that was more conducive to overwintering crops. We looked at several areas with milder winters and a shallower frost line than Palmer but Haines had some special elements that convinced us further. The difference between Haines and other towns in Southeast Alaska is that Haines has around 47 inches of annual precipitation but goes through a dry spell every May through July. The deep snowpack insulates the ground through the winter but usually melts off earlier to allow for a slightly longer growing season. Less extreme temperature fluctuation, shallower frost line, insulated ground, a chance for everything to dry out, and a slightly longer season will give us a real shot at growing seriously hardy seeds.
The land we’ve purchased was a small part of the original Charles Anway Homestead. Mr. Anway was far ahead of his time growing the first apple orchard, first cherry tree orchard, and the largest strawberry in Alaska. A visionary horticulturist, Anway was also a true homesteader growing potatoes, raising livestock, and building wood furniture. The land he left has since been reforested and dappled with modern homes but the rich soil remains and the land is still sheltered from the wind and warm on its south-facing slope. You can learn more about the preservation work regarding the Anway Homestead from the Sheldon Museum in Haines. We look forward to working with them along with 7 Echoes, a developing permaculture homestead, the burgeoning group of new farmers in Southeast AK, and the broader Haines community.
During this transition, you can look forward to continuing online sales and seeing us at select events around the state. We will do our best to keep you updated with our progress through our blog and social networking sites as we undertake this great experiment. We anticipate many new challenges learning the land in a different area of the state we love so dearly. Luckily, the blossoming cherry trees, wild thimbleberries, and overwintered kale offer us much encouragement.
Please keep in touch,
Nick & Leah | geography |

The Burning Basket Project
Connecting Alaska and Hawaii.
A current vision for the Burning Basket Project is to bring together people that are separated by distance, so as to recognize and celebrate the connecting elements that span the Pacific Ocean between Alaska and neighboring Hawaii.
Alaska and Hawaii are unique in that they are both separate from the rest of the 48 states. They are neighbors with the Pacific Ocean connecting them. Prevailing currents from Alaska to the Hawaiian islands carry the migrating Pacific humpback whales, connecting air currents carry migrating shorebirds such as the golden plover (also known as kolea) and the island hopping ruddy turnstone. Both places are hot spots on the volcanic "ring of fire", with active, concurrently erupting volcanoes.
A garland of origami paper whales was created by students from the Volcano School of Arts & Sciences, Big Island, Hawaii. The handmade gift was sent to Homer, Alaska to welcome the burning basket project to Hawaii. This garland with their written messages was incorporated in the 2007 burning basket in Homer.
Students from Fireweed Academy, Homer, Alaska reciprocated by constructing similar garlands of paper whales that were incorporated in each of the three burning basket sculptures that were then created in Hawaii. These gifts of origami art were an exchange of greetings, and well wishes for safe migrations.
The Hawaii burning basket enactments were;
1. Wishing Bell - Basket of New Beginning, Big Island,
2. Migration - Basket of Coming & Going, Volcano Elementary School, Big Island, and
3. Fluke - Basket of Safe Passage, Maui.
"Bringing people together to co-create the upcoming basket sculptures in Hawaii will widen our awareness of the many ways in which we are connected to each other, and the many ways we are connected to the natural world." - Mavis Muller, workshop facilitator

In 1848, lands from the towns of Blenheim and Broome were incorporated and adopted the name Town of Gilboa. Late in 1878, The Gilboa Monitor newspaper began publishing on Thursdays starting in December 19, 1878. In 1915, the hamlet was selected to be the site of a new dam, the land forming the Schoharie reservoir, and the Shandaken Tunnel sending Catskill water to the municipal water supply of New York City. The Monitor ceased publication on October 10, 1918 and the village was flooded soon after in 1925. The digitization of this 40-year newspaper was provided via the efforts of Richard Lewis, Mary Wyckoff, Lee Hudson, Gerry Stoner, the Gilboa Historical Society, and the Town Board.
A more intuitive look
The NYS Historic Newspapers project has fundamentally changed the look and feel of its website. This change increases functionality throughout, and also provides a state map for ease of geographic access. The advantage of this change is the streamlining of access to the website's content. Searches can now be started from any screen by clicking the search option on the navigation bar. This opens a search window without disrupting the browsing experience. In addition, the state map is optimized for searching. Clicking any county will bring up a page that allows the user to search all newspapers within a county with a custom interface, or browse a list of newspapers contained within that county.
Updated search interface
The new search window is simplified for ease of use and contains all of the powerful functionality of the previous advanced search menu. Search options are now selected by dropdown menus. In addition, the search entry box has been relocated to the top of the window. To prevent false result sets, the narrowing functionality has been streamlined, allowing the user to select a newspaper, county, or city with a single click, automatically clearing the other two options. In addition, searches are saved, allowing the user to modify search options on the fly for the best results.
About NYS Historic Newspapers

The approximately 3,300 square foot apartment, with three bedrooms and an office, is at the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences on Boylston Street, according to listing agent Michael Carucci of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty.
Mr Chambers, owner of one of New England’s largest car dealerships, paid $8.875 million for the unit in 2016, records show. At the time, he said he was under contract to purchase an approximately 5,500 square foot unit at Four Seasons Private Residences One Dalton Street, Boston. Mr Chambers said he had bought the smaller condo on Boylston Street as a place to live while waiting for One Dalton to be completed. “I never realized I would be here for as long as I am,” he said.
Mr Chambers recently moved into One Dalton after closing its 59th floor for nearly $18 million in 2019, and is now ready to unload the Boylston Street condo.
Mr. Chambers, who also has a home in Connecticut, said he spends his work days in the Boston area and both apartments are within a short drive of his office in Somerville, Mass.
He gutted the interior of the Boylston Street unit, he said, adding brand new electrical and heating equipment as well as Venetian plaster walls and coffered ceilings.
According to Mr. Carucci, the 12th-floor apartment was originally made up of three adjoining units, combined by a previous owner, and each room has large windows overlooking the park, even the closets. “You’re above the treeline, but you still see the pulse of the garden,” he said.
Mr. Chambers founded his eponymous car dealership in the 1980s. The company now has about 60 locations in southern New England, according to its website. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the median selling price of luxury condos in downtown Boston rose 29.3% year over year, according to real estate appraisal firm Miller Samuel.

Traveling alone can be a liberating experience and the girls getaway, of course, presents the opportunity for you to leave all your work and family cares behind.
The staff writers of SmarterTravel.com have actually identified a few countries that are women-friendly and several regions of the world that are particularly unfriendly—or dangerous—for women to be traveling alone. Here’s a summary, with supporting opinions:
Best countries for women travelers:
Amsterdam has safe public transportation and English is widely spoken. Dutch women are pragmatic, independent, and friendly.
Ireland is a welcoming destination for everyone, pubs are inclusive of men, women, and families. Bed and breakfast inns make it easy to experience local flavor.
Costa Rica is by far the safest of Latin American tourist destinations, friendly and easy-going locals. Costa Rican landscape is picturesque, and comfortable, safe hotels are available for under $40/night. Many hotels also offer shuttle vans to transport tourists from hotels to attractions around the country.
Although India’s crowded, dirty, and poor areas can be intimidating, women largely feel safe in India. Local Indians are friendly and appreciative, women are generally respected and hold upper-level jobs. India’s tourism industry has become luxurious in the past few years.
The tourism industry in Vietnam has become more developed in recent years. The country offers plenty of services for tourists ranging from rustic to luxury, and dining and hotels are low-cost.
Worst countries for women travelers:
Religion in the Middle East and North Africa plays a big role in daily life, so be sure to educate yourself about the modesty that comes with this. Women will often be dressed in full hijab, including veils, long shirts, and floor length skirts or wide pants. If you’re planning on entering a religious site, dress conservatively (no bare shoulders or short skirts or shorts). Also be prepared to not have equal rights: some Middle Eastern countries require women to have her husband’s permission to leave the country. Once in a country, you are required to abide by their laws.
If you travel on the Mediterranean Coast, remember to always have your guard up. It’s not uncommon for women traveling in this regions to report unwanted sexual—or attempted sexual—encounters with male strangers.
It may or may not come as a surprise that areas of the United States can be unfriendly towards women. Sexual harassment, as most of us know, is common and sexual violence is an issue in big cities and rural areas alike. Culture varies across our large country, so even though we might speak the same language, always be alert and ask locals which areas are safe for women traveling alone. When using public transportation or walking alone, don’t talk on your cell phone or send text messages: be aware of your surroundings all the time.
Latin America and the Carribbean have always been a place where women have potential to feel uncomfortable. Besides the usually harmless staring and whistling, drug dealers and more aggressive men can be extremely harmful. If you travel to these areas, travel in groups and stay in tourist areas. Don’t put yourself in vulnerable situations, such as walking alone at night or getting drunk. | geography |

The surface landforms of its ice shell express the subsurface structure, dynamics, and exchange governing this potential. Double ridges are the most common surface feature on Europa and occur across every sector of the moon, but their formation is poorly understood, with current hypotheses providing competing and incomplete mechanisms for the development of their distinct morphology. Here we present the discovery and analysis of a double ridge in Northwest Greenland with the same gravity-scaled geometry as those found on Europa. Using surface elevation and radar sounding data, we show that this double ridge was formed by successive refreezing, pressurization, and fracture of a shallow water sill within the ice sheet. If the same process is responsible for Europa’s double ridges, our results suggest that shallow liquid water is spatially and temporally ubiquitous across Europa’s ice shell.
Jupiter’s icy moon Europa harbors a global subsurface ocean beneath an outer ice shell. The thickness and thermophysical structure of this ice shell are poorly constrained, but models suggest it may be 20–30 km thick with a layer of warm, convecting ice underlying a cold, rigid crust. The detailed structure and dynamics of its ice shell and the timescales over which they evolve are critical for understanding both the fundamental geophysical processes and habitability of Europa. Some of the primary observational constraints on these subsurface processes are their expressions in the surface morphologies imaged by Voyager and Galileo.
Europa’s surface is young and geologically active, displaying a wide variety of landforms including ridges, troughs, bands, lenticulae, and chaos terrain. Of these, double ridges are the most common, consisting of quasi-symmetric ridge pairs flanking a medial trough, with height to peak-to-peak distance ratios <0.5817. These ridges may extend for hundreds of kilometers and include some of the oldest features visible on the surface, with frequent cross-cutting implying numerous formation cycles over Europa’s history. Cycloidal ridges and ridge complexes share many of these characteristics and along-strike transitions between ridge morphologies are not uncommon, suggesting that a single process may be active in the formation of all ridge types. Proposed formation mechanisms for double ridges fall into six categories: cryovolcanism, tidal squeezing, diapirism, compression, dike intrusion or ice wedging, and shear heating. All of these mechanisms require ice-shell fracture and, with the exception of compression and diapirism, all invoke near-surface ice-water interactions, either through internal melting or direct injection from the subsurface ocean.
More recently, a number of extensions to the explosive cryovolcanism hypothesis have been proposed, in part to address the difficulty of driving negatively buoyant ocean water directly to the surface. These models suggest that double ridges may instead form above shallow, crystallizing water bodies, such as sills or dikes, within the ice shell, rather than by direct connection to the subsurface ocean. Such mechanisms are more consistent with morphometric analyses that both disfavor compressional formation models and support the presence of subsurface water reservoirs beneath ridges. These models have much in common with formation mechanisms for lenticulae, chaos, and cratered terrain that invoke the emplacement and refreezing of shallow water bodies to explain the observed doming, surface disruption, or collapse. This growing body of work suggests that shallow water may be critical, not only to double ridge formation, but also to Europan ice-shell dynamics, exchange, and ultimately habitability.
Analogs for double ridges or confined shallow water bodies from the terrestrial cryosphere could place powerful constraints on this hypothesis space for Europa. Sea-ice pressure ridges and some ice rise divides bear a qualitative resemblance to Europa’s double ridges, but the pressure ridge analog assumes a very thin ice shell and ice divides express a flow regime entirely dissimilar to the Europan environment. Similarly, subglacial volcanic craters and ice shelf brine infiltration have been invoked as analogs for pressurized ice-water interactions, but neither fully captures the physics of refreezing water bodies confined within an ice matrix.
Here, we present an icy double ridge discovered on the Greenland Ice Sheet with the same gravity-scaled geometry as Europa’s double ridges. High-resolution ice penetrating radar observations reveal that this ridge is underlain by a shallow refreezing water sill and provide a direct window into the subsurface processes that drove its formation. | geography |

The Ultimate guide to Choose the Best Galapagos Cruise
If you are planning a trip to the Galapagos islands, it is important that you choose the right cruise to professionally plan your trip so you can have an exceptionally Galapagos experience. Here is a guide for choosing the right Galapagos cruise.
There are different types of Galapagos cruise boats that you need to choose from. Catamarans, sails boats, motorboats and monohull are the main boat types for Galapagos cruises. Catamarans have a smaller capacity of around 16 people hence providing flexibility and comfort and are excellent to those who are prone to sea sickness. Monohulls on the other hand are more safe, stronger and economical than the catamarans. Sailboats are very small enabling passengers to have an intimate experience and adventure more.
Before booking with a company for your Galapagos tour, it is wise to conduct a background search on them. For a more rewarding experience, make sure you are dealing with a reliable cruise company. It is advisable to book with companies that specialize in the Galapagos as they will have the expertise to plan your trip and ensure that you have an unforgettable experience. Each operator has its own rules that you familiarise with before choosing your cruise company.
When choosing a Galapagos cruise for you, you need to decide on the length of trip. Some cruises can take 3 days while other can go for as long as 4 weeks depending on the policy of different companies. 4 to 5 day cruise is a good opportunity to visit the islands of Galapagos and do only a few of the main activities including hiking and swimming. A 7 to 8 Galapagos cruise has a higher price tag but is great opportunity to discover new things like visiting tourist sites, engage in a lot of activities and thoroughly enjoy the geographical areas of the different islands. However if you want to explore each of the major islands of Galapagos and have a more fulfilling experience, consider choosing a 15 day or more cruises.
When deciding which Galapagos cruise to pick, find out which itinerary is on their list. Most of the 8 day and 15 day cruises follow itinerary that are controlled by the Galapagos National Park allowing you to visit various places. Although they have the same protocol, check the itineraries so you can decide if the cruise is suitable for you and your family and whether you can visit specific places on your wish list.
Determine how much you want to spend on the cruise so you can chose the right agency for your trip. There are different types of yachts to suit various budgets such as liveaboard cruises, budget yachts, first-class cruises, luxury cruise ship and many others. | geography |

These issues are called “philatelic novelties” and they cover all the stamps issued in the current year. There are two different ways to collect them, by country or by theme.
News by countryThe stamps are a reflection of the country of issue. Their observation provides us with data about their origin, the peculiarities of the country that issues them and many other aspects of interest. Collecting stamps from a given country helps us to learn more about its culture, history and events. A subscription to the philatelic world news allows us to receive all the stamps that a certain country (Spain, France, Vatican…) issues.
Thematic newsOn the other hand, the themes give the opportunity to know a lot of information about a specific content. It doesn’t matter if you are an architecture forum, you love mycology or you are passionate about cinema. Fauna, comics, Walt Disney… the thematic stamps open up a world full of knowledge. A subscription to philatelic thematic news gives you the opportunity to receive all the stamps of your favorite theme, regardless of the country that issues them. If, on the other hand, you are interested in a particular theme, but you only want stamps from certain countries, you can also request them.
If you want to know more about a country (Spain, Hungary, USA…etc.) or about a subject (Felines, Castles, Costumes…etc.) we give you the opportunity to do it through the philatelic world news, that month by month the different postal administrations around the world offer us. To get it, you only have to send us the form below and we will contact you. Tell us what you like and we will take care of the rest. Once agreed, you only have to make a payment of 50 ?, we will give order to the corresponding postal administrations and you will begin to receive your favorite stamps. Periodically we will send them to your home without any shipping costs and we will give you a direct debit receipt for the amount delivered. In the case of most countries and in the case of some subjects, you will also be able to receive, if you request it, the annual sheets to keep them. If at any time you do not wish to receive any more issues, just let us know one month in advance, as there may be “ready” stamps that the administration has not yet sent us. Once the subscription is cancelled, your initial deposit of 50 ? will be returned.
Philatelic collections are very varied, with different purposes, conservation methodologies and classification. It can be said that each personal collection has its own characteristics. However, the collections that participate in competitions organized by the different associations must comply with the regulations that classify them in well-defined areas.
This denomination defines a collection of stamps ordered by country and by historical period and, therefore, without a specific theme. In general, it is the initial form through which one approaches philately. Some collections may be specialized in elements such as indentations, color variations, watermarks and different types of printing, or in the variety and errors caused by the printing machine.
This is a collection of philatelic material (stamps, postcards, cancellations and others) that aims to illustrate the history of the mail. Due to the large amount of collectable material, collections generally specialize within precise limits of space and time, or by specific topic of interest (among which the most common are postal rates or different postal services, or military mail).
It is a collection formed by franked envelopes with stamps that carry a cancellation with the date of the day of issue. A widespread collection in the United States, the First Day Cover (FDC) collection has been gradually established in Italy after World War II. These envelopes can also be prepared with illustrations referring to the theme of the issue; in Italy, the oldest company is the “Venetia Club”, founded in 1948 , followed by Capitolium, Filagrano, Chimera, AICFDC, Roma and Rodia.
L ‘ aerophilic or aerophilic, is in charge of collecting the philatelic material related to the air trips of the postal service. Airphilatelic collections can be further specialized, both by subject and by type of mailing material. In addition, the collection may also include material that is not strictly philatelic, such as cartoons, labels, posters, postcards.
The collection consists of stationery and postal documents in which the price of the mail is printed directly. It can be further specialized according to the categories of documents, such as postcards, postcards, aerograms, etc. In addition, the collected materials can be new and already used.
The collection aims to collect all the stamps representing a specific theme, which can be a character (e.g. Giuseppe Garibaldi) or a plant or an animal (e.g. orchids or butterflies), an object (e.g. the bicycle), a party (e.g. Christmas). Within the collection, the stamps are ordered in series and divided by country and year of issue.
The collection covers all philatelic documents and materials related to a subject. The themes that can be developed are the most varied, ranging from music to history, from sports to technology, from nature to art, according to the interest of the collector. The theme is developed according to a well-defined program, reported in an introduction with index, and the collected material should be ordered in such a way that it allows an organic development of the chosen theme.
Thematic collections have been developed since the late 1940s. Their international codification took place in 1958, with the presentation of the first competition of thematic classes regulated by the IFJ. They are mainly found in North America and in North and Eastern Europe.
This definition includes collections in which philatelic material is accompanied by other objects (but to a lesser extent than 50% of the total), such as telephone cards , postcards, stickers, photos, dry sheets, newspaper clippings, and anything else that can be pasted. a sheet The theme and development methods are free.
The collection consists of philatelic materials related to space travel, space research and the precursors of these, such as rockets and balloons. The collection can be divided into different themes: the pioneer era, rocket mail, special programs (USA, USSR, Europe), possibly with or without men on board. In addition, the collection may also include material that is not strictly philatelic.
The collection consists of a maximum number of cards that meet the requirements, in terms of the card itself, the postage stamp, which must have been placed on the front and not on the back, and its cancellation. Of particular interest is the presence of the same theme, or related themes, on all three elements. The collection can be organized by theme or country.
The collection of state or local (municipal and regional) tax stamps. Tax collection is numerous and aesthetically interesting, also recently the result of in-depth studies and evaluations. The marks, especially, have all the characteristics of the stamps, including the various types of watermarks .
For some time now in the United States, the Scott Catalog has been reporting U.S. tax rates through the 1950s in a comprehensive catalog. In Italy, both the Sassone Catalog and the Unified Catalog have reported taxes used by mail, but recently special catalogs have been created for all brands and taxes.
Various uses and types of taxes make this collection a kind of curiosity of mine.
The collection refers to cancellations or other signs attached to postal documents. Generally, signs placed on the stamp are collected by geographic area, by subject, or by function.
Red mechanical postage, commonly called in postal documents, has been used to replace postage stamps since the early 20th century by post offices themselves, or by companies and organizations. They consist of a print with the value, another with the place and date and a possible advertising plate, all printed with the characteristic color red. Generally, the collection can be specialized by place or date of issue, by theme (e.g., bank postage), by subject of drawings (state symbols, coats of arms, industrial products), by technical characteristics (presence of cancellations in terms of postage stamps, different types or different forms of use).
Military mail is the postal service that benefits military personnel working outside the national area in both peacetime and wartime; mobile post offices are assigned to departments and postage has special rates or exemptions from regular rates. For military prisoners of war, there are postcards delivered by the Red Cross, which refer not to the unit to which they belong but to the detention camp. Normally the object of interest for collection is not the postage stamp used for mailing, since it belongs to the series usually used, but the complete letter.
Christmas stamps, or Christmarks, are special adhesive labels that are placed on envelopes during the Christmas period to raise funds and spread awareness of TB research.
In 1904, Einar Holboell, an official at the Danish Post Office, developed the idea of adding a postage stamp to envelopes during the Christmas season to raise funds for tuberculosis. The idea was approved by the post office and the King of Denmark, and the first stamp had the effigy of the Queen and the words “Merry Christmas. More than four million were sold the first year.
They were introduced to the United States by Emily Bissell in 1907, after reading news of the project in an article by Jacob Riis, a Danish journalist and photographer. Bissell hoped to raise money for a sanitarium on the Brandywine River in Delaware.
Over time, the initiative grew into a national program of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis (NASPT) and the Red Cross in 1908. The stamp was sold at post offices, initially in Delaware, for 1 cent each. The net income was divided equally between the two associations. In 1920, the Red Cross withdrew from the project and sales were made exclusively by NASPT, then known as the National Tuberculosis Association (NTA). The NTA took its current name as the American Lung Association in 1973.
Today, the Christmas stamp supports the American Lung Association and other lung-related projects. Tuberculosis has gradually declined, but has recently begun to spread again (tuberculosis remains the most common serious infectious disease).
In Italy, this use has spread since the 1920s, thanks to the Red Cross and other charities. However, the use of Christmas letter closures has spread mainly in English-speaking countries, particularly in Great Britain , Australia , South Africa and New Zealand , as well as in many states in the USA .
However, these types of stamps should not be considered official and are not valid as postage. The postal uses of these erinophiles should be considered fraud if they are not accompanied by a regular postal delivery. They are often stamped because they are placed near the stamps, and these specimens have some interest, especially if they are stamped with a non-philatelic hand stamp. However, their potential value may not be particularly noticeable, except in the case of mail fraud.
Many states issue Christmas postage stamps, particularly Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, also combined in Christmas brochures or leaflets that are widely used during the vacations. The Nordic countries accompany classic themes like Santa Claus or the Christmas tree with Nordic symbols, snowy landscapes, small animals. Even the Soviet Union in the 1980s started to make specific Christmas stamps and finally the Asian countries are also slowly considering some theme related to Western Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations and traditions. There is a large production of postage stamps which by now is a splendid subject that concerns hundreds and hundreds of copies from all over the world.
A little bit of curiosity, in the 80’s Great Britain issued some Christmas stamps with the blue stars printed on the front, contained in brochures. They are a type of their own in the English collection and are hardly an achievement repeated in other countries.
On April 27, 1859, the President of the Granada Confederation, Mariano Ospina Rodríguez, signed the Organic Law of the National Post Office that reorganized this service and established the use of stamps as of September 1, 1859, when the first issue circulated, with 5 values and a total of 258,465 stamps valid for circulation until August 31, 1860.
This same law, in article 23, established the services of a P.O. Box and a Mailman at a monthly cost of $1.00 and $0.80 respectively. At that time, correspondence was not delivered to the home but had to be claimed by the interested parties at the post office. As shown in the following images, these services substantially reduced their cost in the 1860/70 decade to $ 1.20 quarterly and $ 0.40 monthly, respectively.
In each of the issues of 1866/68 and 1868/1872 there was a 2.5c. triangular stamp that served to pay the home delivery service of the letters. In 1917 a stamp with a value of 5c. was issued, whose motive was a child letter carrier and served for urgent home deliveries. This stamp, which was issued in only 72,000 copies, was rarely used.
On July 18, 1861, with the capture of Bogotá by General Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera, four times President, the civil and military chiefs signed a union pact and declared the formation of the United States of New Granada. With this name a series of 5 values circulated with a total of 52,380 stamps.
The Rionegro Convention officially declared the creation of the United States of Colombia (EUC) on February 3, 1863, a very innovative period in the provision of mail services and therefore of great philatelic wealth. The first United States of Colombia stamps are printed by contract on July 26, 1862, still technically under the United States administration of New Granada.
On July 1, 1865, large size (13 x 6.5 cm.) “Value Declared” or “cover” stamps, as they were also called, were given to the service and were the first five colored stamps in the world. They were used for sending values, up to $100, documents, coins and bills. They were not sold to the public and were placed on the back of envelopes once the office employee verified the contents. The receiving office had to return them, duly signed by the recipient as proof of receipt. They were in use until 1912 and in 1924 they were replaced with the “Declared Value Envelopes” used until 1967, when the last design was launched.
Also in 1865 the “Recommended” service was started with the issue of two “A” and “R” stamps, for the “Annotation” and “Registration” service. Annotation consisted in writing down the receipt of the letter in the post office books, and the Registry a commitment of the mail to maintain a supervision during the whole journey. A “registered” letter had to be stamped with a “notation” stamp, not the other way around. With UPU admission, the notation service is eliminated and only the “Recommended” stamp is required. These were issued until 1925, when the stamp was replaced by the official UPU label indicating that the letter was “recommended”.
At the beginning of 1881 the whole EUC postcards came out to the public and were quickly, in July 1881, relegated to national service only and replaced by the UPU card which could be used at home and abroad. Its design changed over the years and the last issue was in 1903. It is worth mentioning the cards of Ernesto Pehlke from 1899, who with government authorization engraved ten striking tourist motifs in color.
In July of the same year, the country commemorated the adhesion to the UPU with an issue of five values, which simplified the handling of foreign correspondence and implied national rates according to the determinations of this organism.
Before this adhesion, the stamps called “Sobreporte” or “maritime mail” had to be used, since this was the only means of transport abroad. From that moment on they were not necessary for this purpose and their use was authorized for internal mail.
The EUC Constitution allowed sovereign states to have their own postal service to serve those routes not covered by the national post office and they were authorized to issue their own stamps, if required. This privilege continued with the Republic of Colombia, now called departments. In 1863 Bolivar was the first to issue stamps, the smallest in the world, followed by Antioquia (1868), Cundinamarca (1870), Tolima (1871), Panama (1878), Cauca (1879), Santander (1884) and finally Boyacá (1899). The use of departmental stamps ceased in 1909.
In 1878 in the Sovereign State of Cauca, province of Chocó, Prefect Demetrio Toral requested the State Secretary of Finance to issue a stamp to carry the mail between Quibdó, capital of the province, and the city of Riosucio, seat of the provincial courts. The request was approved and Toral used an old stamp from the provinces of the Republic of New Granada to print these stamps, called “Camisa del Cauca”. This is perhaps the most controversial stamp that exists and because of the small quantity issued (100 copies) and the poor survival due to the humidity and heat of the area, it is one of the most valuable in Colombia. In this same vein, in 1883/85, the then Prefect of Chocó, Salomón Posso, issued stamps using the monogram of his initials. These are of three types. No value, with a value of 5 cents and no value framed in pencil. It is also likely that the same Posso issued a stamp in 1890 called “mail to Carmen”, which Posso signed the act granting the title of municipality to Carmen de Atrato.
During the existence of the EUC were issued 15 sets of stamps. The last issue, in 1882, used for the first time the perforation in the sheets to separate the stamps.
On August 5, 1886 a new Constitution was adopted that lasted until 1991, and changed the name of the country to Republic of Colombia, the name it currently holds. In order to exhaust stocks, the use of stamps with the name EUC was allowed until July 31, 1889. As a result of the change of name, stamps were issued to cover the needs until 1890. Given the multiple impressions, an infinite variety of paper and tonalities are produced. Also this year a stamp was issued to cover the penalty (2.5c.) to ensure the dispatch of letters that were delivered outside the hours of reception, called “Delay”. This service lasted until 1914.
The most curious thing about this issue is that it breaks the custom of honoring only deceased persons and includes a 10c. stamp with the image of Rafael Núñez, four times President, a true example of presidential egocentricity or flattery of the postal administration? A similar case is the stamps issued with the portrait of President José Manuel Marroquín in 1904. I must mention a beautiful stamp issued in 1959 to honor in life a deserving person, Luz Marina Zuluaga, who won the title of Miss Universe for Colombia. Only 20,000 copies of the $5 stamp were issued, making it very scarce and sought after by philatelists.
In 1889 the city of Bogota issued a 1/2c. stamp to collect local mail deliveries. Medellín, Manizales and Palmira also issue Urban Mail stamps.
When the postal species of the EUC were demonetized on July 31, 1889, a large inventory was left that was to be incinerated in Bogotá. Faced with this situation Gustavo Michelsen Uribe proposed to the government the purchase of this material, and contrary to the law, they sold him 222,380 postal species for a value of $ 1,230. Not content with this enormous loot, Michelsen in complicity with employees of the post office administration, obtained the original stones of several issues from 1868 and in an obscure manner negotiated with the original printer Demetrio Paredes, the printing of these stamps in enormous quantities. Because of his international recognition as a diplomat and philatelist, Michelsen sells a huge amount of his fakes, causing great damage to Colombian philately once his fraud is discovered. Even today, Michelsen’s forged copies are offered.
The issues are spaced in time: 1890, 1895 and 1899. Interesting during this period was the printing of whole postal envelopes of Correo Fluvial and Correo Férreo, to circulate correspondence by these means of transport. Telegraph cards were also issued to serve as payment receipts and to claim in case the telegrams did not arrive within the promised time.
In 1893 a new service was inaugurated, Acknowledgement or Acknowledgement of Receipt, by which the post office was obliged to return a document duly signed by the addressee. A stamp was issued with the letters AR in the center and with a value of 5c. The last stamps issued for this service were in 1917.
On October 17, 1899, the Thousand Days War broke out, which ended on November 21, 1902. This contest was chaotic for the country but a bonanza for Colombian philately. Resolution 456 of October 24, 1899, suspended service on the routes affected by the conflict and required the delivery of open letters to be censored.
The liberal rebels cut communication routes between Bogotá and the provinces, making it impossible to supply postal species to Antioquia, Cauca and the Caribbean coast. Faced with this situation, the government authorized the issue and local printing of stamps in Medellín, Popayán, Barranquilla and Crtagena, in addition to those printed in Bogotá.
For their part, the rebels issued stamps in Cúcuta and Tumaco.
During the conflict, with the excuse of not having stamps, some postal agents printed labels to be used as stamps, mainly in Tumaco and Cauca. The illegality of this action in Tumaco is not in doubt, but the letters circulated without any problem in UPU countries. The correct procedure was to place on the envelope the notation “no stamps. He paid … cents” and the signature of the postal agent.
At the end of the war the country was bankrupt and could not invest in printing new stamps, so it decided to continue using locally printed stamps. Curiously, and perhaps due to lack of funds, he authorizes the use of the stamps issued by the rebel government in Cúcuta.
The monetary situation reached such a disaster that on October 1, 1903, by means of Law 33, the government created the Peso Oro with a conversion of 100 “old pesos” for one gold peso. By decree 1197 of December 15, 1903, it authorized the carrying of postage stamps denominated in old pesos at the same exchange rate as bills, starting January 2, 1904. This generated the first “inflation envelopes” in the world, pieces very appreciated for their rarity and scarcity. It is estimated that some 200 have survived.
In 1904, stamps denominated in gold pesos were issued on thin paper, which were used at the same time as the old peso stamps. Curiously, there is no mention that they are in gold weights. An oversight?
In 1910, to commemorate the centenary of independence, a series of eight securities was issued and printed abroad for the first time by the American Bank Note Co. of New York, which was put into circulation on July 20. Interestingly, the stamp of Recommended, whose motif is “the Cartagena firing squad by order of the Spanish Government” was removed 17 days later and later incinerated by the protest of the Spanish Government. Due to their short life of circulation they are very difficult to find in envelopes.
Foreign printers are hired for the following issues. Due to the logistical problems caused by the First World War and in order to solve the lack of stamps, local printing is again used at the National Printing House and several “provisional” issues are made until 1926.
In 1919, two national aviation companies were created, the Compañía Colombiana de Navegación Aérea (CCNA) in Medellín (September 16) and the Sociedad Colombo-Alemana de Transportes Aéreos (SCADTA), in Barranquilla (December 5). With this event, Colombian air mail was initiated on February 22, 1920 by CCNA and in September of the same year by SCADTA. Each society is authorized to issue its own stamps to cover the cost of its postage, but all correspondence must also bear the corresponding national postage stamps.
CCNA had a short life while SCADTA lasted until 1939 when it merged with Pan American and formed the society Aerolíneas de Colombia AVIANCA. SACO (1933-1935), TACA (1944-1947), LANSA (1945-1951) and TAXADER (1948-1965) were involved in the transport of mail by air but had a short life and were absorbed by SCADTA or AVIANCA.
Decree 192 of February 2, 1926, authorizes the ground transportation of mail by private companies other than SCADTA, through a surcharge and the use of their own stamps. The permission to use one’s own stamps was revoked as of October 1933. There were some 64 companies that offered the service, but few printed their own stamps. The main ones were the Land Transport Company, the Ribon Express and the Tobon Express.
COSADA is an example of cooperation between the public and private sectors. Founded in Bucaramanga on March 5, 1923, by SCADTA and the department of Santander. Its objective was to connect by air to Bucaramanga with Puerto Wilches and from there connect to the SCADTA system. To handle the correspondence from the cities and towns of Santander and Norte de Santander each department formed a company, Correo Rápido de Santander and Correo Rápido de Norte de Santander respectively, which carried the correspondence to the COSADA offices in Bucaramanga. COSADA was liquidated on July 29, 1930.
Until 1959 different stamps were required for letters going through the National Post Office and those going through air mail. From this year onwards these two types of services were unified and the stamps served to pay for both.
In 1937, the Government introduced the use of specially resealed stamps with the word OFFICIAL to be used by government entities.
Since the fifties and until today the production of Colombian stamps has been a parade of beautiful pieces, in quantity of topics like anniversaries of historical events, historical and current personages, autochthonous mythology, archaeological patrimony, nature, fauna, cartography, transport, architecture, landscapes, art, customs festivities, communications, post office, religion, civility, etc., that have served to make known our beautiful country and to enlarge our philately. | geography |

THE BIG ISLAND’S COMMERCIAL PROFILE
Buying and developing commercial property on Hawaii’s Big Island is a bit different than in other communities. We know because we work with off-island investors regularly. Based on their questions, we have developed some basic information that we hope will help you with your property research.
The Big Island has strict height limitations for both commercial and residential buildings. This means that you will find no 30 story high rises here. In fact, most buildings are limited to two or three stories, depending on zoning. The reason for the County’s low-rise standard is that it helps to preserve the island’s spectacular views for the whole community and reflects the relaxed “outer island” life style which is highly valued by residents.
The result is that most commercial buildings, though low profile, are spread over a sizeable area to achieve the critical mass needed for reasonable investment returns, usually as several detached buildings within the complex.
This is feasible on the Big Island because it is geographically larger than all of the other Hawaiian islands combined. In fact, the Big Island is roughly the size of Connecticut and has a current population of approximate 165,000 full-time residents plus a fluctuating number of tourists and part-time residents.
If you keep these things in mind as you look at the various properties available, it may help you evaluate your options realistically based on community standards.

Finding the perfect rental home in any city can be an exciting yet daunting experience. And the thought of scouring Vancouver, Victoria and Surrey for a rental property can be downright scary.
Welcome to your ultimate guide to landing the perfect rental home in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Whether you’re hunting for your first apartment or exploring investment properties in Real Estate Canada, we’ve got you covered.
The rental market in BC is buzzing with opportunities, but we understand it can sometimes feel overwhelming. And that’s why we’ve compiled this comprehensive guide to help you navigate the process confidently. So, sit back and get ready to start your journey toward securing your dream rental home in BC.
Tip 1: Be Clear on Your Needs and Budget
Before diving into the chaotic world of renting a home in BC:
- Narrow down what you’re looking for.
- Take time to determine your preferences – location, amenities, and how much you can spend each month.
- Remember to consider additional costs like utilities, parking, and insurance.
Tip 2: Scope Out the Rental Market
Time to do some research! Get to know the rental market in BC by checking out average prices in your desired area. Use online platforms, classified ads, and real estate websites to find rentals. Don’t forget about social media groups, forums, and local networks—they can be gold mines for leads and recommendations.
Tip 3: Explore and Ask Questions
When you go for viewings, pay close attention to the condition of the place. Check plumbing, electrical, and appliances, and note any damages. Don’t be shy—ask questions to clarify doubts about the unit or the lease terms and conditions.
Tip 4: Get the Rental Application Right
Found something you like? Gather all the necessary documents, such as ID, employment verification, references, and proof of income. Be quick on your feet because popular rentals go fast. You may also write a cover letter explaining why you’d be a great tenant.
Tip 5: Dive Deep Into the Lease Agreement
Before you commit:
- Read the lease agreement carefully.
- Ensure you understand everything, like the lease term, when to pay rent and your rights and responsibilities as a tenant under BC’s Residential Tenancy Act.
- If unsure, consult a lawyer or a tenant rights organization for clarification.
Tip 6: Lock Down Your Dream Rental
Congratulations! You found your dream rental home in BC. Now it’s time to seal the deal. Discuss any concerns or modifications to the rental agreement with the landlord before signing and finalizing the lease. Sort out the security deposit and first month’s rent. Protect your belongings by obtaining renter’s insurance coverage.
Tip 7: Take Care of Your Place
This is the most important tip of all!
Once you move in, it’s important to maintain a good relationship with your landlord. Treat the place respectfully, follow the rules, and promptly report any maintenance issues. Keep the lines of communication open for a smooth and enjoyable renting experience. Remember – a good track record is vital to being a desirable tenant for future landlords.
Rinse and Repeat…
In May, the average rent for purpose-built and condo apartments in Vancouver reached $3,137, The average rent across the province touched $2,468.
Rental prices in BC and Canada have seen a general upward trend, and Vancouver stands out as the most expensive city in Canada. However, other BC cities such as Victoria, Abbotsford and Surrey offer a range of amenities that can match the Vancouver experience.
While rent increases in BC have started to moderate, the growing population contributes to increased rental housing demand. The recent rise in housing prices and interest rates has made homeownership less affordable, prompting more Canadians to seek rental accommodations. These factors suggest that the rental market in British Columbia will experience ongoing challenges, and rents are expected to remain high.
There is no denying that renting your dream home in BC requires careful planning, research, and attention to detail. Follow the tips outlined in this comprehensive guide to increase your chances of finding and securing the perfect home for your needs. Remember, patience and persistence are key, and with the right approach, you can make renting in BC a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
As always, Save Max suggests consulting with our experienced Vancouver Realtors for advice on navigating the tricky housing market in British Columbia. | geography |

A day before the Figawi Regatta
|Hyannis Yacht Club-Skippers Meeting
This morning I drive down to Fairhaven, Massachusetts, where the sailboat-Bite belonging to
Sail Buzzards Bay is docked. Crossing the drawbridge I take notice of the harbor with its
blanket of thick fog. The hurricane barrier gate out to Buzzards Bay is not visible. Fog
enveloped houses greet me as I turn off Route 6 and head down Main Street. Soon all ends
are finalized and I head for the boat –– must remember everything. Warm clothes are very
important, regardless of the date. Water temperature is still in the low to mid fifties.
And the temperature gradient between land and sea is about twenty degrees. Must pack warmly
just in case. Anyhow, the idea is to sail over to Cotuit on Cape Cod via Woods Hole, best
tide and favorable current midday. Four hours sailing to Woods Hole.
–– Set sail!
In fog, we set sail at 850 hours. The water is fairly calm, small waves, light south,
southwestern breeze. The fog is denser, as we leave the harbor. The harbor entrance, along
with the seawall and the entire coastline, quickly fade out of sight. Only fog surrounds us.
Patches of even denser fog stream by. Foghorn in constant use. Everybody remains watchful,
can’t miss any boats, must stay vigilant at all times. Fishing vessels appear just as quickly
as they disappear. An hour into the trip, heading 110° to Woods Hole; in the fog.
At some point, the sun tries to break through. The forecast is for conditions to improve. My
first encounter with the fog leaves me straining my eyes, using binoculars, constantly
observing the perimeter, the invisible horizon. Some stretches are mightily dense; the foghorn
sounds at short intervals. A silhouette of a trawler creeps stealthily out like a ghost,
figures visible on deck wave – almost undetected it sails across the sixty or so yards of
visibility and, without a trace, disappears back into the fog. All fog yet again. That same
white view all around. Eyes constantly watchful, ears alert.
|Buzzards Bay and Nantucket Sound
–– Woods Hole
At the channel entrance, the fog starts to dissolve and a few masts become visible. The outline
of the shore and a line of trees slowly come into focus, then the contours of the beach.
Momentarily, the red and green buoy serrated channel looms ahead. Suddenly, it is clear.
The sun is out. On both sides, sharp details of the coastline are now visible. Just above the
sandy beaches, amongst the trees a few big houses are perched up on the bluff. Now clearly
visible is the caravan of sailboats heading for Nantucket Sound. The current in the channel
is still strong, not entirely slack time yet. In an hour or so, we cross the channel without
any incidents, and soon fade back into the fog.
–– Nantucket Sound
Fog. Less fog. No fog. Shoreline clearly visible. Heading for Cotuit Bay.
May 28, 2011
Day of the Race
–– Morning at Cotuit Bay
The morning comes with thick fog yet again. It is heavy and hangs low, surrounding us. We dress,
change the jib to Genoa jib, drink coffee, have a bite to eat, and soon after push off into
foggy Cotuit Bay. Start time 1000 hours. Bite –– the slowest boat in the class. Let’s hope
we make the course in time, get in a good sail, and complete it.
|Figawi - The Competition
-At Cotuit Bay get lost in the fog,
-run aground, managed to get off,
-once again foghorn in constant use.
-The race is three hours delayed,
-we have an incredible start!
-Run first to the 17th buoy,
-run out of wind and withdraw.
-No winners in our class,
-not many finishers in general.
-At the docks about two hundred and fifty sailboats,
-the party is alive, smiling faces in the street.
-It would not let up for the next two nights.

Day on the Island
|Foggy Nantucket Harbor Morning
–– Nantucket Island
The morning is quiet and the docks are empty. The revelry is in respite. We awake early and
breakfast at the Fog Island Café. Later rent bikes and explore the island. The sky is clear
and the sun is out. We walk the cobbled streets full of restaurants and gift-shops, past old
Victorian houses embowered by tall trees, and once on smooth pavement make time. The countryside
is idyllic with rolling fields of low shrubbery, indigenous pine trees, and wooden summer
cottages. We ride about twelve miles to Madaket beach, western shore of the island. Here
enjoy the sandy beach and watch the fog roll back in off the ocean. After a short rest, we
pedal back to town, which by now is alive yet again.
Back on the boat, we sit back and have a few drinks. The fog has crossed the island by now
and is slowly tumbling over full-leafed trees and slanted rooftops. The last rays of the
orange sun disappear leaving no trace.
–– At the docks
The atmosphere here is alive. People pull notes on the other side of the dock. A Jolly Roger
halfway up a backstay flies stiff in the breeze. It is that kind of a vibe. Noisy, rowdy crowds
heard all around. The commotion permeates the docks, the streets, the ice-cubes are melting,
the party is on.
May 30, 2011
In the morning, there is a stiff South-Southwest breeze. The docks are quiet compared to
the last two days, only rigging and flags make a pleasant, harmonious sound. There are a
few patches of fog. The temperature is climbing. It is difficult to say what awaits us out
on the water. Soon everything on deck is set and we are ready to head out. Boat after boat,
the docks empty. Shortly, we are in the channel heading for the start line. Only two classes
finished Saturday, so today's race counts. The start…not so good…we are the last boat in the
pack. The boats in front are off and running, many with spinnakers on a downwind leg. About
six miles to the first mark. At first, we hesitate, but after a short discussion, we decide
to hoist the big drifter sail. With the bigger sail to maximize the wind –– our speed increases
to seven knots. By the first marking, we have caught up and pass two boats. At the first tack,
the fog returns. In the thickening vapors, we are close-hauled into the
|Martynas and Louisa at the Helm
teeth of the wind, still making about six knots. Fog all around, hard to make out any boats.
Here, due to poor visibility, navigational skills are key, must rely on the GPS. In four
tacks, we reach the mark. We ease and heading on a close reach, stream toward the finish line.
About a mile and a half to go. The fog is even denser, precise navigation is paramount to a
good finish here. Finally, we spot the buoy and the committee boat marking the line. The gun
goes off as we cross. We exclaim, high fives, we have completed the course.
Later we found out we had come in first in our class. | geography |

GS Paper 2: International Relations
Prelims exam: Chabahar Port location
Mains exam: Importance of Chabahar Port for India
Why in News
After months of what appeared to be a “go-slow”, the Union government has revved up its interest in using Iran’s Chabahar port to connect to Afghanistan and Central Asia for trade, with the visit of the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways.
Why is Chabahar back in the news?
• The recent visit of the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways to Iran would be a chance to “strengthen ties and the maritime relationship” between the two countries.
• Due to the pandemic, there were less number of visits from India to Iran and vice-versa. This visit will also highlight the importance of Chabahar as a gateway for Indian trade with Europe, Russia and CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States] countries.
What is India’s strategic vision for Chabahar?
• When the first agreement for Chabahar was signed by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2003, the plan had a three-fold objective:
o to build India’s first offshore port and to project Indian infrastructure prowess in the Gulf;
o to circumvent trade through Pakistan, given the tense ties with India’s neighbour and build a long term, sustainable sea trade route;
o to find an alternative land route to Afghanistan, which India had rebuilt ties with after the defeat of the Taliban in 2001.
• Subsequently, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s government constructed the Zaranj -Delaram Highway in Afghanistan’s South, which would help connect the trade route from the border of Iran to the main trade routes to Herat and Kabul, handing it over to the Karzai government in 2009.
• In 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled to Tehran and signed the agreement to develop Chabahar port, as well as the trilateral agreement for trade through Chabahar with Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani.
• In the last few years, a fourth strategic objective for the Chabahar route has appeared, with China’s Belt and Road Initiative making inroads in the region.
• The government hopes to provide Central Asia with an alternate route to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through Iran for future trade.
Linking with International North South Trade Corridor (INSTC)
• Speaking a few days earlier on the occasion of a “Chabahar Day” function in Mumbai, Union minister for ports said that it is India’s vision to make the Shahid Beheshti port a “a transit hub” and link it to the International North South Trade Corridor (INSTC), that also connects to Russia and Europe.
Why is the Chabahar dream taking so long to realise?
• Iran’s relationship with western countries: Since the beginning, the development of the Shahid Beheshti terminal in Chabahar as well as surrounding infrastructure has hit geopolitical road-block after road-block; the biggest issue has been over Iran’s relationship with western countries, especially the United States.
• US sanctions on Iran: In years when western sanctions against Iran increased, the Chabahar project has been put on the back-burner.
• Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA): While in the years when nuclear talks that resulted in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015 came into being, the Chabahar port has been easier to work on.
o In 2018, the U.S. Trump administration put paid to India’s plans by walking out of the JCPOA and slapping new sanctions on dealing with Iran. This led to the Modi government “zeroing out” all its oil imports from Iran, earlier a major supplier to India, causing a strain in ties.
o Despite the fact that the U.S. made a special “carve-out” on sanctions for Chabahar, on the ground, it has been difficult to source equipment for the port construction from infrastructure companies that continue to fear secondary sanctions, as well as to engage shipping and insurance companies for trade through Chabahar.
• The Taliban’s capturing the power: The government also snapped ties with Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover in August 2021, which put an end to the humanitarian aid of wheat and pulses that was being sent to Kabul via Chabahar. When India restarted wheat aid to Afghanistan this year, it negotiated with Pakistan to use the land route instead.
With the government now reopening the Indian Embassy in Kabul, and establishing ties with the Taliban government, it is possible that the Chabahar route will once again be employed, another reason for the recent flurry of activity at the Iranian port terminal that India has pinned so many hopes on.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container] | geography |

Why does Zinnia love Bare Knitwear?
In 2012 the first Bare Knitwear collection was created from a small studio on the West Coast of Canada. As the brand expanded the search began for honest, small-scale production, sustainable fibers and artisan craftsmanship. This led to the exploration of the rugged landscapes of the Peruvian Andes, known for their high quality fibers and talented artisans.
After weeks spent working with local producers in remote regions, the production finally found its home in Ayacucho, a tiny Peruvian town tucked in the south central Andes.
Today, each Bare Knitwear garment is still brought to life by hand through a collaborative development process merging the ancient heritage of Peruvian techniques with modern design. The brand continues to work with small producers throughout Peru for the sourcing of their signature alpaca, wool and Pima cotton collections.
The proudest achievement of all is the personal relationships the brand has forged with their partners who employ and empower local Peruvian artisans. Over time Bare has witnessed the difference quality employment can bring to a community, providing sustainable employment for local artisans and the opportunity for them to have true autonomy over their future.
The wool used by Bare Knitwear has a free of mulesing certification and their suppliers hold the RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard) and RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certificate.
Where possible, they choose to work with un-dyed, natural materials. When dyes are used they use low-impact, OEKO-TEX certified dyes that are heavy metal and azo-free, ensuring consumer and environmental safety. | geography |

I have had a busy few weeks including a wonderful holiday in Madeira at the beginning of February. It was lovely to get away to that beautiful island and we really enjoyed the fact that it was so much warmer than here! Lots of sun too.
This card was one that Barbara Gray created on her blog a while ago and I liked it so much I thought I would have a go! Needless to remark it is nowhere near as professional as Barbara's but I still am reasonably happy with the result.
For the background I used Distress ink pads - several different colours of yellow and orange. I then spritzed it with water before adding the mountains which were created using Pebble (I think) Adirondak. The stamp is Clarity Stamps from the "Butterfly Tree Set".
Hope you like it.

Often times, due to travel plans or unfamiliarity with the local area, many brides and grooms wish to obtain their Florida Marriage License in advance of their arrival. There is currently a lot of contradictory information on the Internet as to whether or not a couple can obtain their License to Marry in the State of Florida without having to appear in person before the Clerk of Court. Some websites say you can while others say you cannot. Surprisingly, there are even some Clerks of Court in the State of Florida who are unfamiliar with the Statutes.
Simply put, there is a provision in the Florida Statutes for obtaining your Marriage License by mail in advance of your arrival but there are several special conditions that must be met beforehand. The process for obtaining your license in this manner is referred to as a "Plea In Absentia". It is a little-known provision in the Statutes designed to assist those brides and grooms with special circumstances.
Generally speaking, the following conditions must be met:
The Marriage License is valid for 60 days from the date it has been issued. The date of issue counts as the first day so care should be taken to ensure the couple allows a few extra "slack days" on the back-end of the valid period for the license in the event of travel delays or last minute changes to their wedding date. If the license expires prior to the wedding ceremony a new one must be obtained before the officiant can legally sanction the union of the couple.
Currently, there are only two County Clerks of Court in the State of Florida that allow for Plea in Absentia filings as they pertain to Marriage Licenses. Fortunately, however, a Marriage License issued by any County Clerk of Court within Florida is valid in any other county. For example, you may use a courthouse in Central Florida for your Plea in Absentia filing and still get married in the Florida Keys, Miami, Panama City Beach, or elsewhere within the State.
We hope this article helps to clear up any confusion on this issue. For further study, we would recommend a review of the Florida Statutes, section 741. We wish you the best for your visit to the Sunshine State and for your upcoming wedding. | geography |

Ever wondered, how can you track the food when it leaves the restaurants? The answer is a GPS tracking system – a vehicle tracker. Actually, GPS stands for Global Positioning System, the technology that communicates with the electronic device in the vehicle to the satellite revolving around the earth. The technology is cool and available for public use. It was first introduced to the world for the US army later in the time got civil access as well. Most of the fleet business across the globe are utilizing this technology for their business and keeping track of their fleets to enhance their services to the customers.
Here is the thing, GPS Vehicle tracker is not just for fleet business. There are various other industries utilizing this technology to keep track of their vehicles such as Production, Manufacturing, Food and Beverages, Hospitality, Oil and Gas etc. It depends on needs, not on the Industry type.
Here in this piece of writing, I am emphasizing more on fleet business as it is the major impacting source in this business:
- Selection of Appropriate Route
Most of the drivers are visiting a new route every time. Therefore finding an appropriate route becomes crucial for delivering the load on time. Vehicle Tracker not only tracks the position for you but also suggests the fastest and appropriate route depending on the vehicle. Hence, it not only helps the fleet management company but also to the drivers as well. It also gives the luxury to you to suggest routes to your drivers avoiding fatal accidents, road construction, traffic jams and other unavoidable calamities.

Vehicle tracker provides the real-time location of the vehicles on your web interface giving you the opportunity to choose the right vehicle nearest to the delivery location. Choose the best vehicle for the location and load to deliver stuff more promptly. It eliminates the hassle to look into the long and heavy data location logs when you can do the trick in just a few clicks.
- Safety comes to life – Theft Protection
The major threat to the fleet management business is vehicle theft. Lots of business across the world face the issue and reported this problem. According to a report published by Wikipedia in 2012, the United State has witnessed the estimated motor vehicle theft of around 300 per hundred thousand inhabitants of the country. There are still few cases are pending from 721, 053 which are reported in the year 2012. GPS Vehicle tracker is also available in the form of Mini Vehicle Tracking Device. The size doesn’t matter when it comes to security.
- Proper Analysis and Reporting
A GPS tracking system will not only monitor the real-time location but also stores data of the journey in the tiny memory card placed in the device. Later, this data can be downloaded and can be used for reporting and analysis of cost, time and fuel efficiency. Do you own a fleet management business? What are you waiting for?

In May, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) announced that the typical UK home cost an average of £23,000 more than it did in the previous year. This equated to a 10% rise - the fastest rate of growth since 2007 - bringing the average UK home cost up to £255,000. In the North West of England, however, house prices have instead increased by 15.2% year on year, with the North East close behind with a rise of 12%. Here Kate Patrick, Head of Estate Agency for H&H Land & Estates evaluates potential reasons why.
“The surge in both prices and demand within the North’s property market can be attributed to a number of likely factors, many of which are linked to the pandemic. Many people came to re-evaluate lifestyle choices while working from home and for a huge number, priorities significantly changed. Many found themselves wanting more space, both inside and out, while others chose to swap urban living altogether in favour of a more rural lifestyle. The North is a highly desirable location for people looking for peace, privacy and beautiful surrounding scenery, offering many buyers the chance for a new way of life.
“Stamp duty holidays offered by the government also drove sales, with many people seeking to capitalise on the saving and complete at the start of this year ahead of the scheme winding down. When demand for houses began to outstrip those up for sale, prices climbed and competition in the housing market grew.
“Property prices in our area still continue to rise, and demand to buy property remains very high. With fewer properties coming to the market, we are seeing viewings on certain houses doubling and sometimes tripling as a result. This is obviously leading to offers over the initial asking price. In terms of how this trend is impacting buyers and sellers alike, some potential buyers are missing out on the house of their dreams as they are not in a position to proceed. Buyers with a complete chain or cash/mortgage purchasers are instead snapping up property.
“I would encourage anyone looking to sell to call us to arrange a market appraisal as we have a significant number of buyers waiting for property to come to the market. There are pockets of the market where we are seeing price sensitivity as the incentive to buy up to £500,000 before June 2021 has come to an end.
“H&H Land & Estates use all the comparable evidence available to us to provide all our customers with the most up to date valuation, especially in these fast-moving times. Our experienced team have a specialist, in-depth understanding of our region and would be happy to assist you, whether you are a buyer, seller or are keen to know more about the thriving property scene across both the North East and the North West.”
H&H Land & Estates have a reputation as one of the leading independent rural property advisory firms operating across the North of England and the Scottish Borders, with a well-established client base across offices in Carlisle, Penrith, Kendal, Keswick, Durham and Cockermouth | geography |

We operate out of two turbine de Havilland Otters on floats; spacious seats–each with a window and a headset. The areas of Katmai National Park which we visit are a scenic hour's flight past volcanoes and glaciers lining Kachemak Bay and the Cook Inlet. Keep an eye on the water as we commonly see whales and sea otters. Spend a day in Katmai's back-country with a small group lead by our naturalist guide or come with us to Brooks Falls to see the iconic moment of salmon leaping up waterfalls only to be caught in the jaws of Coastal Brown Bears. Either trip you choose, you will have 5 hours on the ground with these awe-inspiring bears.
One of Emerald Air Service’s defining attributes is that our main goal is to educate guests about Katmai’s majestic residents, the Coastal Brown Bear, and the country in which they live. We hope everyone who takes one of our trips leaves with not only great photos, but with an understanding of bears, with knowledge of how to move respectfully throughout their world, and with a love for wild places. | geography |

https://news.eyeque.com/2017/08/16/total-solar-eclipse-things-you-need-to-know-including-protecting-your-sight/ | 2021-05-15T11:34:16 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991801.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20210515100825-20210515130825-00243.warc.gz | 0.924559 | 1,041 | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-21__0__70334643 | en | The upcoming total solar eclipse on Monday August 21 is exciting, but not because total solar eclipses are scientifically rare. In fact, an average of once every 18 months, a total solar eclipse is visible from some place on the Earth’s surface. What makes this rare for humans is that these usually occur over water or in sparsely populated areas. Consider this – the last time a total solar eclipse impacted the lower 48 states was in 1979 and another one will not have such visibility across the U.S. until 2045. This one is very special because it’s the first time in American history one will be visible across a 70-mile wide swath from coast to coast. NASA estimates 500 million people will be able to see this eclipse, either partially or in totality: 391 million in the U.S., 35 million in Canada, and 119 million in Mexico.
What is a Total Solar Eclipse?
A total solar eclipse occurs during the phase called a New Moon; the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth, but this only happens when the moon is at its closest position to the Earth. Although the moon orbits the Earth about once every month, it’s orbit is tilted at about 5 degrees from the Sun-Earth orbital plane and elliptical, so the moon rarely casts a shadow on the Earth’s surface. Normally, the bright yellow surface of the sun (photosphere) is all we see. When the moon blocks out this intense light, this enables observation of the much dimmer solar atmosphere (corona), which appears as a pearly-white halo. This is a beautiful sight to see, but be careful as explained later.
A solar eclipse as it travels across Earth’s surface can last as long as 3 hours in partiality, however, the longest period the moon will completely block the sun at any given location will be about 2 minutes, 40 seconds. Against one’s intuition whereas the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, the shadow cast by a solar eclipse moves from west to east. The first landfall of the eclipse in the USA will be Lincoln Beach, Oregon starting at 9:05 a.m. PST, with totality starting at 10:15 a.m. During the next hour and a half, the path of totality will cross through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and North and South Carolina. The total eclipse across the USA will end near Charleston, South Carolina at 2:45 p.m. EST.
Protecting Your Sight
Perhaps you remember your parents or teachers warning you to never look directly at the sun. Some people are under the misconception because most of the sun is blocked during a total eclipse, it is safe to look at it. That is absolutely false except for the few moments of totality. Looking at the Sun without protective solar eyeglasses can cause permanent damage to your sight. Because of the overall darkness, the pupils dilate which allows a great deal of powerful sunlight light to enter ones eyes. It only takes 30 to 60 seconds staring at an eclipse to cause retinal damage, called solar retinopathy. The retina absorbs the intense light from the Solar Corona thereby damaging cells. It is painless, so people may not realize they incurred damage until later on. Symptoms include loss of visual acuity (sharpness of vision), blind spots, changes in color vision, or distortion when looking at straight lines or grids.
Eclipse Sight-Saving Tips
- Don’t wear ordinary sunglasses because even dark ones are not strong enough to protect your eyes.
- Be aware of fakes – Amazon recently discovered unscrupulous dealers were selling unsafe solar eclipse glasses and they’re issuing refunds.
- Only wear welding glasses if they are #14, which is much darker than an arc welder typically wears.
- Don’t use solar filters that are scratched or damaged.
- Don’t wear solar eyeglasses and look through a camera, telescope, or binoculars because this magnifies the rays and negates the glasses’ protection. However, you can use these instruments if they are equipped with special solar filters.
- Do build your own pinhole box in a matter of minutes, which some eye experts say is safer than using solar eclipse glasses (and it’s a great kid-friendly activity!).
- Do use specially designed solar eclipse glasses and viewers to block the sun’s harmful rays. To date, only four manufacturers sell eclipse glasses and handheld solar viewers that meet international safety standards:
Of course, Mother Nature can ruin even the best laid plans. If it is completely overcast, the eclipse won’t be visible, but it will be eerily dark outside. So, by all means, if you are one of the 500 million people who is able to see this on August 21, go ahead and enjoy this rare event. Just be careful – and don’t look at the eclipse unless you follow the aforementioned precautions. | geography |

Since 1996 the population has steadily grown, and indications are that it will continue to rise at the highest rate of all the Councils on the North West Coast of Tasmania. But we have plenty of room for more as we are still have only about 5 persons per square kilometre.
About one third of the population is in the towns of Railton and Sheffield, with the balance being spread across smaller townships and farming areas.
The soils in Kentish are very productive and the rainfall is fairly predictable, consequently the main industry is agriculture; farming of beef, dairy, sheep and cropping. There is also potential to develop further as part of the North-West region as 'Food Bowl' of Australia and tourism opportunities.
The landscape ranges from lush rural farmland to spectacular mountain scenery. One of Tasmania's key visitor attractions, Cradle Mountain, is located in the municipal area, as is the world standard Lake Barrington Rowing Course.
There are a number of small localities throughout the municipality with evocative name like Garden of Eden, Gentle Annie, Paradise, Nook, Nowhere Else, and The Promised Land that are also visitor attractions.
Mount Roland dominates the landscape of the populated areas and watches carefully over the land, and is visible way out to sea many miles away. For those leaving or returning on the ferry, Roland tugs at the heart strings. In Kentish, you are almost never out of sight of Roland and its beautiful rocky outline captures the sunlight and changes throughout the day. A walk to the summit is a wonderful day walk for the fit and well prepared.
To book accommodation check out the Sheffield Visitor Information Centre website.
Sheffield - The Town of Murals
The main town of Sheffield developed as the centre of farming operations in the municipality, and has since grown to be the major shopping area, a thriving tourism area, and is the gateway to Cradle Mountain. Sheffield is known as the Town of Murals, with 55 murals (and growing) depicting the pioneer history and the people of Kentish. With it's beautiful King George V park, safe amenities and friendly people, it is no wonder Sheffield is growing.
Sheffield was named "AUSTRALIA'S TIDIEST TOWN" in 2014.
NOTE: The MuralCam is currently offline.
Kentish Council has installed a camera in Mural Park which you can access online. It allows you to view different murals in the park, live, at any time of the day or night. Try it out: MuralCam

Railton - The Town of Topiary
Found between Latrobe and Sheffield, this industry-based township has added more than 100 imaginative topiary characters to its main street area in recent years. In 'Cradle Mountain National Paddock' visitors can photograph the only 'living' Tasmanian Tiger. Check out www.townoftopiary.com.au for more information on topiary activities happening in Railton.
Visitor attractions also include the Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Trails, Seven Sheds Brewery and the Fibre Optic Lighting and Gifts Store. The town is also equipped with several eateries, service station, pub and newsagency. The Tasmanian Trail can be accessed at Railton.
Railton (marginally smaller than Sheffield) is the next largest town in the Kentish municipality and began life as a rail head. The town was named after the daughter of a pioneering family, not the railhead as commonly thought. The wide main street in Railton indicates the space needed to turn the bullock teams and drays that were responsible for hauling Kentish produce to the railway station.
Railton is the home of Cement Australia. Cement Australia began operating in the 1920S producing the world renown Goliath Cement. Goliath Cement was used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In fact, the construction industry throughout Australia has used cement from the Railton plant since the plants inception. This is testament to the purity of the limestone lode still being used to produce cement.
A limestone quarry close to town served successive owners of the cement works and the disused quarry can still be seen along the main road to Railton. Early government milled trees within the surrounding area and shipped the timber across Bass Strait to build the city of Melbourne.
Topiary locations throughout Railton can be identified by the Railton Area Tourist Information Brochure.
Wilmot - Valley of Views
Visit Wilmot and take an alternative route along the C132 to or from Cradle Mountain. Known locally as the Valley of Views, the winding roads around Wilmot offer the best panoramic outlooks over Cradle Country. Wilmot lies to the west of Lake Barrington and has traditionally been used for dairying and growing potatoes. Originally, Wilmot supplied all the seed potatoes used in southern Australia. Visitors can enjoy the stunning hinterland scenery and the quirky Novelty Letterbox Trail.
Wilmot Hills Winery has produced award winning wines being renowned as the highest altitude vineyard in Tasmania. The Old Wilmot Bakehouse uses the original wood fired oven, built in the late 1890s, to bake a delicious variety of bread and pastries. Whilst visiting Wilmot, why not step back in time and view the history of Wilmot at the Wilmot Museum.
Wilmot's General Store, the first G.J. Coles General Store was located in Wilmot until it burnt down in early 2014. The destruction of the store was a tragic loss for the community, as it was more than just a general store, but a meeting hub for the community. Currently a temporary store is on site providing fuel and basic supplies for residents. | geography |

Part of this psalm reads:
The mountains of Bashan are mighty mountains;
high-ridged mountains are the mountains of Bashan.
Why look with envy, you high-ridged mountains,
at the mountain where God has chosen to dwell?
Bashan (including the Golan Heights and southern slopes of Mt. Hermon) stand at what was the northern boundary between Judea and the gentile world. Rising some 9200 feet above sea-level, it is a beautiful and impressive site. Well watered, fruitful plains, rugged and snow-capped mountains, clearly the type of place you’d expect to find God (think Colorado Springs).
This fertile land was assigned to the tribe of Manasseh (Joshua 13:29-31), one of Joseph’s father’s favorite sons (Jacob even “adopted” his grandsons Ephraim and Manasseh as his own sons, giving them a special blessing above their brothers) An impressive physical specimen, and the father of a valorous and fruitful people, Jewish parents pronounce a blessing over their sons that includes the phrase “God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh” (from Gen. 48:20).
Mount Zion, on the other hand, not so much.
Rising only 2500 feet above sea level, the Temple Mount would barely worth of the title mount, were it not for God’s presence (think West Texas and the Llano Estacado).
I love that our God chooses to dwell not in the unreachable heights of glory overlooking the richest land, but instead dwells where His people can live all around Him, where
…the just shall rejoice at the presence of God,
they shall exult and dance for joy…

But have you seen the Tower itself? I tried to in 2002, but its upper 5000 feet were concealed in cloud. This is the Tower’s normal condition. Nevertheless increasing numbers of climbers approach it every year. They may have to wait weeks for a brief weather break to try the ascent. For this is Patagonia, home of storm and wind that can actually blow you off your feet.
Mountaineering in Patagonia is recent. Its highest peak, FitzRoy, was first climbed only in 1952. And Cerro Torre? That depends on whom you believe.
In 1959 the strong Italian climber Cesare Maestri staggered off the peak, claiming that he had reached the top. His partner, the equally strong Toni Egger, had perished in an avalanche on the way down. Maestri’s account was questioned from the start. Could they have managed this extraordinarily difficult ascent in just a week, and a week of bad weather at that? There were no photographs--Egger had carried the only camera. Skepticism grew. Nobody reached the top by Maestri’s route or any other. Then, in one of the most bizarre episodes in recent climbing history, he returned to the Tower in 1970, accompanied by a 150-pound gas-powered air compressor. He and the compressor succeeded on another part of the mountain. With compressor-supplied power, Maestri drilled some 400 expansion bolts, many of them clearly unnecessary. Even then, he didn’t reach the true summit, asserting that the final ice mushroom wasn’t really part of the mountain and would some day blow away.
The summit was indisputably reached by in 1974 by an Italian party. A number of (very difficult) new routes were subsequently established; but the favorite remained Maestri’s Compressor Route. With all those bolts in place, it really wasn’t that hard. But in 2012 two young climbers made it without the aid of any of the bolts. On the way down, they removed a good many of them. The route had become hard once more. The local reaction was hostile, and the two found themselves briefly in jail.
The turbulent Cerro Torre story is far from over, but who better to present it now than Kelly Cordes? He helped edit the American Alpine Journal for many years, and he has climbed Cerro Torre. Now he has written a splendid book. The Tower is a complete history of the peak. The writing is clear and compelling. Among the book’s attractions are its photographs: many are full-page in color. An opening section of these shows the routes in all their implausible clarity. Published appropriately by Patagonia Books, this is one for your library.
In addition to being a historical account, the book is a detective story. Cordes has to confront the question: Did Maestri really climb Cerro Torre in 1959? The author is untiring in his pursuit. Like most other commentators, he answers in the negative. Maestri’s description of the route and account of the accident had a disquieting flexibility. But the most damning evidence was a lack of evidence. In 1976 a three-man party reached the summit of Torre Egger (named for Toni Egger). The first two thousand feet duplicated the route claimed by Maestri, up to the Maestri-named Col of Conquest. No one had been there since 1959. On the first thousand feet they found abundant signs of precedence, culminating in an equipment dump near a prominent snowfield. Above that, nothing: not a piton, not a bolt, no ropes, no rappel points. Maestri’s description of the difficulties below the Col were utterly inaccurate. It was very hard to believe that he had really been there. And when the section above the Col was eventually climbed, no sign of an earlier ascent was found there either.
The falsity of Maestri’s account was sufficiently established for David Roberts to include it in Great Exploration Hoaxes (1982), along with Frederick Cook’s thoroughly discredited claim to the first ascent of Denali in 1906. Maestri has poisoned his case in interviews, with vague route descriptions and a lot of anger. From a 2006 interview:
Can I ask you a specific question? How do you explain that there are no bolts on or above the Col of Conquest?
“Listen very carefully: When we attacked it in 1959, the north face of Cerro Torre was a solid mass of snow and ice. We went up it. Egger was the greatest ice climber in the world. We took advantage of this because the weather had been bad for three weeks and Cerro Torre was a sheet of ice. ... [Maestri reels off a string of obscenities.] But I don't give a [expletive] about all this. It has already been covered, goddamn it to hell! You can't understand.”
And after The Tower was published there came another revelation: a photo in a Maestri book that claimed to show Egger on Cerro Torre was taken on an entirely different peak.
The evident fakery prompts uncomfortable questions: When did Maestri decide to lie? Would he have done so had Egger survived? Even his description of his partner’s death has contradictions. Perhaps, as Maestri’s more charitable critics have suggested, he was so stunned by his own difficult descent, which included a long fall, that he really believed what he was saying. And possibly still does.
There is a resemblance to the disappearance of Mallory and Irvine on Everest in 1924. We will likely never know whether they made the top. Unlike Maestri, they did not survive to tell us. Maestri, though in his 80s and unwell, does know about Cerro Torre. But we readers will have to make our impartial guess. Cordes concludes in regretful condemnation: “They [Maestri and Cesarino Fava, who had been with him part of the way in 1959] failed themselves, they failed those who believed in them, and they betrayed the code of trust that is essential to climbing mountains.”

Despite this, here are my favourite destinations for couples wanting a romantic getaway!
As a couple we’ve travelled to 43 countries before turning 21 years old, and we’re showing you the most romantic vacations for couples around the world.
10 Most Romantic Vacations For Couples
#1 Zighy Bay, Oman
We visited the Six Senses Zighy Bay back in June this year. To date, it is one of the most luxurious and exclusive hotels we have ever stayed in. Their attention to detail, the quality of each villa (all have their own private pools) and the professionalism of the staff here is exceptional. Without a doubt, if you’re looking for one of the most romantic vacations for couples, seriously consider the Six Senses Zighy Bay.
This hotel is also famous for it’s choice of arrivals, you can arrive by a 4×4 off-road experience, speedboat and even paragliding! So epic! Read about our Review of the Six Senses Zighy Bay here.
Hotel Booking: Six Senses Zighy Bay.
#2 Santorini & Mykonos, Greece
These two islands in the Mediterranean are (in our opinion) the most beautiful of all the Greek Islands, and perfect for romantic vacations with your partner. Both famous for their white washed roofs and incredible sunsets over the sea, make sure to enjoy a glass of bubbly from your own private balcony, avoiding the tourist crowds.
Did you know that Santorini is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the Mediterranean. You can find awesome and thematic cruise deals that will spice up your relationship. Don’t forget to find more info about your future romantic cruise.
Santorini and Mykonos are only a 2 1/2 hour ferry from one another, combining both will ensure you have a vacation of a lifetime. P.S. you may never want to leave!
Most Romantic Hotel For Couples: Grace Santorini
You probably knew this vacation was coming, so we couldn’t keep it from the list. The Maldives is THE romantic vacation for couples. With crystal clear waters, an array of world-class hotels, seclusion and tranquility, what’s not to love?
The Maldives are generally seen as an expensive and exclusive destination only for the rich, but with a bit of searching on the internet, you can find a really great deal!
Tip: Booking in off-season is the highest probability of grabbing a great deal. Off-season is generally from May to just before Christmas, with May, June, September and October usually offering the best deals. Also, there aren’t really any specific hotels to look out for, you should rather always keep an eye on everything. Sometimes there are some fantastic promotions on, and third party sites like ZenHotels or Thomas Cook often have heavily discounted rates as well. Use Trivago with a filter on Maldives and then sort by price.
We’ve seen beach villas at luxurious hotels from US$200 a night and overwater or private pool villas from US$300. At the same time, similar accommodation could be ten times that if you go in peak season without any offers on.
Most Romantic Hotel For Couples: Six Senses Laamu
Often Is Great Value For Money: Angsana Velavaru
#4 Aitutaki, The Cook Islands
Supposedly voted the ‘most beautiful place in the world’, it certainly lives up to its title. With pristine white beaches, palm trees, clear blue waters to die for and tranquility like no other, if you’re wanting seclusion this is one of the most romantic vacations for any couple. Make sure to visit One Foot Island!
The only way to get there is by plane on Air Rarotonga from the main island of Rarotonga. Flight prices aren’t cheap, generally around the NZ$600 mark (US$400) for a 40 minute flight. However, we’ll be visiting Aitutaki in a little over a month, and we managed to score flights for NZ$800 round trip for 2 people, still not cheap but definitely worth it in our opinion!
Most Romantic Hotel For Couples: Aitutaki Escape
#5 Kruger National Park, South Africa
What’s more romantic than going on safari during sunrise/sunset and seeing the beauty of nature? Not much! Kruger National Park is home to some of the most luxurious and romantic lodges in the world. We stayed at Klaserie Sands River Camp, and it certainly exceeded all our expectations! Read our Review of Klaserie Sands here.
Wake up to the sounds of nature at your doorstep, watch elephants and more drink at the waterhole infront of your own private pool villa and have dinner under the stars. These are just a few of the experiences possible when staying at a lodge and venturing on a safari at Kruger National Park.
Our Favourite & Highly Recommended: Klaserie Sands River Camp
Most Luxurious Hotel: Lion Sands Sabi Sand
#6 Cappadocia, Turkey
Cappadocia has been on our bucket-list for so long, and we’re hoping to tick it off in August/September next year, excited is an understatement! Why? Because, it’s on of the most romantic vacations for couples and one of the most beautiful destinations we’ve come across. With stunning fairy chimneys and hotels carved into the rocks and of course the infamous hot air balloons, if you’re wanting adventure this vacation is for you.
Fly in a private hot air balloon, cheers with a glass of bubbly and celebrate together from above whilst marvelling at the sunset.
Most Luxurious & Romantic Hotel For Couples: Museum Hotel
#7 Venice, Italy
Another destination that you probably anticipated that we couldn’t miss out. Even though Venice is very cliche for a perfect romantic vacation, it will still take your breath away every time you visit. Taking a ride of the gondolas through the narrow canals of Venice is like going back in time whilst gliding through the ancient sinking buildings.
One of the most romantic things to do in Venice is getting lost, quite literally. Don’t worry, it’s a small place and you’ll enjoy finding small cafes and restaurants as a result. Truly romantic and unforgettable.
Most Luxurious & Romantic Hotel For Couples: Sina Centurion Palace
#8 An Igloo/Arctic Hotel, Finland
This romantic vacation is a little different to the others, instead of a destination why not indulge in a warm igloo hotel in one of the Scandinavian countries? (most are located in Lapland, Finland). Make sure to book one with a glass roof so you can watch the aurora borealis from your bed.
Do make sure to read reviews before booking these type of hotels, as many are known to ripping guests off with their extortionate prices once there.
Most Romantic Igloo with Glass Roof: Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort
#9 Christmas in New York, USA
During the winter months, there is something so romantic about the Big Apple. Whether its taking a romantic stroll in central park surrounded by high skyscrapers or visiting a cute little cafe in the suburbs, you’ll surely enjoy your stay in this remarkable city over the winter months. How does ice-skating, hot chocolate, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree and snow sound? This romantic vacation is will always be a trip to remember.
Check out our guide on: How To See New York In 3 Days and How To Master The New York Subway.
Best Value For Money: Viceroy Central Park New York
#10 Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Last but certainly not least is Bora Bora in French Polynesia. It is a popular destination for honeymooners and romantic getaways, however it is more on the expensive side, and hard to find a great deal but honestly it’s 100% worth it.
From the dramatic scenery to the privacy and amenities of luxurious overwater bungalows, everything in Bora Bora equals a 10 on the romance scale – the definition of romantic vacations for couples wanting everything perfect on their trip abroad. How does breakfast brought to your overwater bungalow’s private balcony by an outrigger canoe regaled in flowers sound? Or a sunset cruise aboard a private catamaran including a four-course dinner? If that doesn’t make you want to book a flight to Bora Bora for a romantic vacation, then we’re not sure what will!
Most Romantic & Luxurious Hotel: Four Seasons Bora Bora
What other romantic vacations for couples would you suggest?
Would you plan to go to one of the destinations listed above? Or have you already been to some of them? Which ones?
Do you have Pinterest? Save it for later!
Such a great list! I just got married and I’m always searching for romantic places to go with my hubby 🙂 Oman is high on my list but I didn’t know it would make a good romantic trip! I’m even more excited to visit now. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Thanks so much! That’s amazing, congratulations 😀 Oman is beautiful, and cannot recommend the Six Senses Zighy Bay Oman enough if you’re looking for a romantic getaway/honeymoon.
I want to go to all of these right now!! I’ve only been to two of these destinations and a few are definitely on my bucket list. I would LOVE to stay at that luxury place in South Africa!
Us too! We’ve been to a few of these destinations but Cappadocia is highest on our list! Fingers crossed we will travel there in summer 2018! South Africa and Klaserie Sands River Camp was out of this world, highly recommend 🙂 | geography |

THURSDAY, Sept. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As Hurricane Ian slams Florida, a new study finds that many hospitals positioned near the Gulf and East Coasts are vulnerable to severe flooding from such storms.
Ian struck the West Coast of Florida Wednesday and careened toward the East Coast. It's then expected to veer north.
Researchers found that even relatively weak hurricanes pose a serious threat of flooding to hospitals along the two coasts. While a Category 1 storm produces minor damage, including to trees and power lines, a Category 4 storm causes catastrophic damage to homes with winds strong enough to tear off roofs. Click here for more on hurricane ratings.
The expected rise in sea levels due to climate change makes hospital flooding 22% more likely than in previous years, according to the report published Sept. 29 in the journal GeoHealth.
“We now have a better sense of which hospitals are likely to flood from a hurricane today and those that need to prepare for greater risks in the future,” said study co-author Dr. Aaron Bernstein, from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in Boston.
“Hurricanes are expected to get more severe and may strike regions further north than in the past due to climate change," Bernstein said in a school news release. "In places like my hometown of Boston, we can avoid crises that other hospitals have had to endure by learning from their experience and creating plans that build on best practices. But we must act now, before disaster strikes.”
For the study, the researchers identified 682 acute care hospitals in 78 metropolitan areas within 10 miles of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States. These areas are home to just under 85 million people, or about one in four Americans. The investigators found that a Category 2 storm could flood half or more of the hospitals in 25 of the 78 cities they looked at.
The 10 areas most threatened by a Category 2 hurricane are:
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, Fla.
New York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa.
New Orleans-Metairie, La.
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.
North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, Fla.
Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla.
With sea level rise expected this century, the number of hospital beds at risk of flooding from a Category 2 storm has gone up by more than 90% in Baton Rouge, Virginia Beach, Corpus Christi, Philadelphia and Boston, the research team reported.
Recent storms damaged many hospitals. This study shows that even if hospital buildings aren't flooded, the roads around them might be, making it harder or impossible for people to get care, or provide it. In 18 metro areas, a Category 2 storm could flood at least half of the roads within one mile of hospitals.
The study authors pointed to a New Orleans hospital as an example of how coastal hospitals and health systems can become more resistant to hurricanes. The Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care Center opened in 2016 to replace the VA Hospital and Charity Hospital after Hurricane Katrina. It was designed to keep running for seven days even if the city's utilities and infrastructure were damaged. It has backup fuel supplies, on-site sewage treatment facilities, and enough space for up to 1,000 staff members and patients to stay inside during a storm.
The Climate MD program at Harvard Chan C-CHANGE offers more on how hospital health care providers reduce risks to patients.

In the last few years, with the paucity of places in Mumbai, Thane has emerged as the next big neighborhood in Maharashtra. It has seen considerable growth and flourished and how!
A few years back, Thane was considered as one of the last options for buying a home or keeping it in a way that someone could afford a budget home. Thane was considered a place of factories and industries. Now in recent years, with the paucity of industries and factories, huge vast lands were made available to developers, who took no time to realize the potential investment in Thane.
With a number of new and developing projects from reputed developers, great infrastructure along with classy houses, mini complexes are the talk of the town. Top malls from reputed and renowned developers with excellent connectivity to major parts of Mumbai, Thane with the introduction of new projects has emerged as one of the most happening parts of the city.
