That’s quite scary, really. I might fall off the edge of the tree. Which leads me to the point. Men like maps. OK, some men like maps. We could go into percentages here, but that would be a stab in the dark. Men, more than women, are likely to be drawn to the study of maps. There may be feedback here, but I’ll stick to my guns. Perhaps my clichés are indicative that my argument is casual. Still I have seen men study an atlas as today’s youth study Facebook. There’s information in these maps that they value.You can keep a man entertained for hours with a map. That’s been my experience, with a sedentary man, anyway. Here’s an example. Keith Roth found a 1916 world map, partly decayed, tacked onto the wall of a barn somewhere near Stettler. He rescued it and had it preserved under glass and then framed. He knew there was a story there. The map appeared to be a square and had a little calendar attached to it for the year 1916. The page showing was September, although it, too, was partly torn and the letters “ept” were missing. The map was one of a series given by Manufacturers Life to their customers, every year since its first year in business, 1887. It’s a Mercator projection – the most common flat map. My first classroom had such a map. On the bottom were advertisements for Cadbury chocolate bars. Maps have been used as ALL OF FEBRUARY IS DEAL LIKE THIS WON’T LAST LONG! CENTRAL VACUUMS FROM 399.99 $ 249.99 $ 19.99 % 75 OFF % 45 OFF $ 99.99 $ 79.99 $ UPRIGHTS FROM One puzzle is that Quebec is marked with a larger square than Ottawa advertising since they could be printed cheaply and because the advertisers knew that these drawings of our world were of great interest to many people, especially men. The man they say discovered our continent, Christopher Columbus, thought he was heading for and had discovered the fabulous East, India, perhaps. He obviously did not know how to read maps, too arrogant. There is an argument that he did have maps. The question is how could there be a map if the place had not yet been discovered? You can read Gavin Menzies’ book 1421 to see some of his thoughts on the subject, or The Island of Seven Cities by Paul Chiasson. These men have spent a lot of time on the subject of maps. They claim that the Chinese, who had actually discovered North America before Columbus, created some of the earliest maps used by European explorers. Of course once an idea is fixed in someone’s brain, it is next to impossible to uproot it. The two men above have been mocked for their novel ideas, but their books are worth reading. Of course the Americans would have to change the name of Columbus Day to the Zheng He Day. You can check these ideas, including the discrediting of the books above, if you spend some time on the Internet. What is not in dispute is that Europeans – most educated Europeans – knew that the world was not flat. There were globes, which must have been rare indeed, to show how the world was shaped. It’s probably not too difficult to think that there were many people around at the time for whom the world would always remain flat and for whom the sun revolved around a stationary earth.

Phone: (403) 394-7037 How to make holiday travel less taxing (MS) Though holiday travel is rarely hassle-free, many travelers would no doubt admit that enduring long lines at the airport or heavily trafficked highways are prices worth paying for the chance to spend time with their families come the holiday season. But while there's no way for travelers to guarantee their flights leave on time or the roads stay clear of fellow drivers, there are ways to make the holiday travel less taxing. • Prepare to wait. Check-in lines and lines at security checkpoints tend to be especially long during the holiday season. Travelers should prepare to wait at such lines and leave their homes early enough so they can still make their flights without having to rush through airports at the last minute. If you normally leave your home two hours before your scheduled check-in, then leave an hour earlier to account for traffic en route to the airport and the long lines once you get there. If you make it through the security checkpoint with plenty of time to spare before your flight departs, you can always unwind at an airport coffee shop or restaurant, but arriving too late to the airport will only add stress to an already stressful situation. Drivers also should prepare to wait when traveling during the holiday season. Roads will have more drivers, so travelers should build in traffic jams when estimating how long it might take for them to arrive at their destinations. Sitting in traffic might still be stressful, but it won't be as stressful if you're still likely to arrive to your destination on time. • Ship your gifts. Holiday travelers often try to cram gifts into their suitcases or the trunks of their vehicles, reducing the space they have to bring personal items or stretch out in their cars on road trips. Instead of squeezing as many gifts into your suitcase or vehicle as possible, ship the gifts and travel light. Traveling light can save you from having to pay potentially costly baggage fees at the airport, while drivers will notice passengers tend to be a lot more comfortable and relaxed when they don't have to share space with bags filled with gifts. • Pack some distractions. Whether you're waiting to board at the gate or driving on a seemingly endless highway, pack some distractions so you or your fellow travelers aren't left with nothing to do during delays. People traveling via airplane may want to bring along a book or a tablet on which they can play games or watch television. Drivers may not be able to take their eyes off the roads, but they can pack books and tablets or video game consoles for their passengers. Children may find delays or long trips especially uncomfortable, so adults should make sure kids have things to keep them occupied during such excursions.

Fort Macleod. careers How to live as a one-income family (MS) Many couples wonder about the secret to surviving on one income when it seems like they're just making ends meet with two incomes. Dual-income households, which are now more common than single-income households, have become the norm. With the rising cost of living, it may seem necessary for families to generate two incomes. However, many families still find a way to thrive on just one income. Doing so often requires a careful examination of family finances and a commitment to making changes to ensure one income is enough for a family to thrive. • Examine your spending habits. Having a clear picture of what is being spent each month will give you a better picture of which things are necessities and which are luxuries. Knowing how your money is being spent will help you reestablish your priorities and map out a plan to live on one income. • Stay disciplined and organized. Some people grow accustomed to taking out the credit card anytime they want to make a purchase, oblivious to what they're actually spending until the bill arrives.

Once you understand what's needed for the home, figure out how much you have left over. Knowing what you have to spend makes it much easier to avoid overspending. • Keep an emergency stash. Many financial experts recommend having enough in a savings account to cover six months' worth of living expenses. This affords the household breadwinner enough time to find a new source of income in case of layoff and enough security to pay bills in case of injury. • Prepare ahead of time, if possible. If you are currently living with two incomes, try living with one income for several months to a year and bank the other salary entirely. This helps to establish a sizeable nest egg as a safety net once you begin living on just a single income. • Speak with a tax professional. In many cases, moving to one income will put you in a lower tax bracket. An accountant can give you a clearer view of potential savings. • Trim the extras. If you look at expenses, you may find a number of trivial things that can be cut from your budget. You may be able to save by bundling certain products, such as insurance policies. After making a few adjustments, many families find that they can successfully live on just one income.
