Don’t rush to Nepal to help. Read this first | Claire Bennett
As someone who has considered Nepal home for many years, the shock on hearing the news of the earthquake that has devastated the country was extreme. I felt pained at being away from home – cut off in rural Cambodia – at a time like this, impotent and powerless. The quake has left thousands dead, many more injured and even more without shelter. What we also know from tracking events in natural disasters all over the world is that the situation only gets worse in the weeks following the event, as hospitals become overwhelmed, basic supplies become scarce and those living in temporary shelters succumb to exposure and disease. Something that has been much discussed in the international aid community is the lack of coordinated response to the Haiti disaster. There were even reports of teams of doctors who arrived to help but were unable to feed themselves. One of the biggest problems with relief work is that it is a free-for-all. • Remember that it is not about you. • Do not donate stuff.

The Benefits of Traveling
Many people ponder what they should do for a vacation and I realized a lot of people don’t seem to share my views about traveling. I believe it’s very important to see the world and different cultures. It lets us open our minds to new things and we get to experience life in exiting different ways. Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. New experiences increase our resourcefulness by living situations you would never encounter at home, this is great experience for you when you come back to your routine. When traveling with friends or family it creates memories for a lifetime. If you have some time off I suggest to take that trip and experience what life has to offer.

This “Histomap,” created by John B. Sparks, was first printed by Rand McNally in 1931. (The David Rumsey Map Collection hosts a fully zoomable version here.) This giant, ambitious chart fit neatly with a trend in nonfiction book publishing of the 1920s and 1930s: the “outline,” in which large subjects (the history of the world! The 5-foot-long Histomap was sold for $1 and folded into a green cover, which featured endorsements from historians and reviewers. the actual picture of the march of civilization, from the mud huts of the ancients thru the monarchistic glamour of the middle ages to the living panorama of life in present day America. This stunning geological map of Europe was produced in 1875 by Andre Dumont, a Belgian scientist and mapmaker. It’s unclear what the width of the colored streams is meant to indicate.
