THE WORLD’S

TOP MOUNTAINSby Rick Dandes

Is there any sight greater and more majestic than that of a snow-capped mountain? This week, Tidbits takes you on an exploratory trip around the world. It’s sure to be a peak experience.

• In the Oxford English Dictionary, a mountain is defined as “a natural elevation of the earth surface rising more or less abruptly from the surrounding level and attaining an altitude which, relatively to the adjacent elevation, is impressive or notable.”

• There are five basic kinds of mountains: fold mountains (folded mountains), fault-block mountains (block mountains), dome mountains, volcanic mountains and plateau mountains. Geologists believe mountains make up about one-fifth of the world’s landscape.

• The absolute heights of mountains and hills vary greatly according to an area’s terrain. Major mountains occur in long linear arcs, indicating tectonic plate boundaries and activity. Two types of mountains are formed depending on how the rock reacts to the tectonic forces – block or fold mountains.

• The Appalachian Mountains are the oldest mountain chain in North America. They extend from Newfoundland to Alabama.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

MOUNTAINS (continued):• The Appalachian Mountains are made up of

mountains, ridges and valleys. The Great Smoky Mountains are in this region, and they run from Tennessee to North Carolina.

• The Blue Ridge Mountains are the backbone of the Appalachian Mountain system. They extend from Georgia to Pennsylvania.

• Mt. Mitchell, in the Appalachians, is the highest mountain on the eastern coast. It is about 6,684 feet high (2,037 meters).

• The Andes Mountain range is an uninterrupted chain of highland that is situated along the western coast of South America. It is the longest exposed mountain range in the world and comprises two great ranges: Cordillera Oriental and Cordillera Occidental, which stand divided by a deep intermediate depression.

• The Himalayas stretch across six countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, the People’s Republic of China, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Some of the world’s major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Yangtze, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to some 1.3 billion people, including the people of Bangladesh.

• The world’s highest peak on land is Mt. Everest in the Himalayas. It is 29,036 feet (8,848 meters) tall. When measured from sea-level, Mount Everest is without a doubt the biggest mountain peak on this planet. However, if one were to consider the height of a mountain from its base to its peak, there are few other mountains such as Mt. McKinley and Mauna Kea that are taller than Everest in totality.

• Prior to being named Mount Everest, the mountain was commonly referred to as Peak XV. It was formally named Mount Everest after Col. George Everest who was the Surveyor General of India in the early 1860s.



MOUNTAINS (continued):• Mount Everest also has some local names such

as Sagarmatha (Nepali) and Chomolungma (Tibetan).

• The first people to scale Mount Everest were Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. They did it on May 29, 1953.

• Alaska has the 16 highest peaks in the United States.

• The Malaspina Glacier, at the foot of Mt. Saint Elias, is larger than Rhode Island.

• The beautiful Rocky Mountains extend some 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) from the Mexican frontier to the Arctic Ocean, through the western United States and sections of Canada.

• The highest peak in the U.S. Rockies is Mt. Elbert in Colorado, at 14,433 feet (4,399 meters); in the Canadian Rockies it is Mt. Robson in British Columbia, at 12,972 feet (3,954 meters).

• The Continental Divide, located in the Rocky Mountains, separates waters flowing into the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico from those flowing into the Pacific Ocean.

• The Rocky Mountains include at least 100 separate ranges, which are generally divided into four broad groupings: the Canadian Rockies and Northern Rockies of Montana and northeastern Idaho; the Middle Rockies of Wyoming, Utah and southeastern Idaho; the Southern Rockies, mainly in Colorado and New Mexico; and the Colorado Plateau in the four corners region.

• The Canadian Rockies are quite different in appearance and geology from the American Rockies to the south of them. The Canadian Rockies are composed of layered sedimentary rock such as limestone and shale. The American Rockies are made of metamorphic and igneous rock, such as granite.

The three towering Himalayan mountains – Mt. Everest, K2 (Mt. Godwin-Austen) and Mt. Kanchenjunga – were conquered in the 1950s: Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first to ascend Everest, the world’s tallest mountain, in 1953; an Italian team led by Ardito Desio climbed K2 in 1954; and in 1955, a British expedition led by Charles Evans surmounted Kanchenjunga.

“Have you heard that there is a new mountain website?” said one mountain climbing enthusiast to another. “Really?” was the reply. “I must take a peak at it!”

Most people don’t think of mountains when they think about Mexico, but the country boasts several peaks over 12,000 feet. In fact, Mexico City rests in a “bowl” that is formed by surrounding mountains.

By Samantha Weaver

• It was comedian-turned-U.S. Senator Al Franken who made the following sage observation: "Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from."

• Those who study such things say that 1 percent of the world's lizard species have no males. The females reproduce by parthenogenesis, which produces offspring that are clones of their mothers. • Amazon's Kindle, Barnes and Noble's Nook, Sony's eReader -- it seems that everywhere you look these days people are reading onscreen. You may not realize, however, just how long digital books have been around. The first e-book was manually typed into a computer way back in 1971, when Michael S. Hart, the founder of

Project Gutenberg, chose the Declaration of Independence to be the first literature so digitized. • A woman in Tennessee was once arrested for biking while intoxicated -- and she was on

a stationary bike at the gym at the time. • According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, if you're like the average American, you drink 22.7 gallons of coffee every year. The surprising thing about that statistic isn't how much it is, though -- it's how little. It seems that in the 1940s, Americans were drinking twice that amount of java. • If you look at the innards of a Boeing 747 airplane, you'll find a whopping 171 miles of wiring. • If you consider surface area covered rather than population, the world's largest city is in Inner Mongolia, where Hulunbuir covers more than 160,000 square miles.***Thought for the Day: "Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right." -- Laurens Van der Post(c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.


Sound Financial Moves Have Downside, Too

For every positive financial decision you make, there can be a negative flip side. A news release from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling outlines just how to look at some of those decisions.

Using automatic bill paying: Having payments automatically dealt with makes bill paying something you don't have to worry about ... until you do have to worry about it because you neglect to delete those transactions from your check register and you overdraw your account.

Using reward cards: You're told you can earn points for air travel or cash back, but that can cause you to use the card more

often just to increase your rewards. At the same time, those hard-earned rewards programs can change at any time, with new rules and levels to reach.

Bundling your services: You can

often get a cheaper rate if you combine cable television, fast Internet and your cell phone into one plan. The savings disappear if you opt for a more expensive plan based on what you perceive you're saving.

Co-signing loans: On the positive side, you'll be helping someone establish credit of their own when you agree to co-sign a note. On the negative side -- and it is a big negative -- that credit amount is deducted from your own availability because you are equally responsible for the loan.

Giving up the use of credit: The biggest benefit is that you no longer pay interest. That interest can be expensive, especially if the credit is used for items like groceries. You'll

be paying for that dinner for a long time. On the other hand, someday you'll need credit, perhaps for a big item like a home or vehicle. Without a good credit history, you're likely to be stuck paying atrocious rates or not be granted credit at all.

Closing credit-card accounts: It can be so satisfying to pay off a credit card, and your reaction might be to close the account. Don't. That credit is part of your overall credit profile because that available amount figures into the calculation of all your credit. When you delete a source of available credit, you change your debt ratio.

Before you make any financial decisions, consider any possible consequences.

• The Canadian Rockies are quite different in appearance and geology from the American Rockies to the south of them. The Canadian Rockies are composed of layered sedimentary rock such as limestone and shale. The American Rockies are made of metamorphic and igneous rock, such as granite.



MOUNTAINS (continued):• Alberta, Canada, is named after Princess Louisa

Caroline Alberta, the fourth child of Queen Victoria. The Princess was born in 1848, and married the Governor General of Canada. The princess is also the namesake of Lake Louise in the Rocky Mountains.

• Five national parks are located within the Canadian Rockies, four of which interlock and make up the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site. These four parks are Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho.

• The world’s highest mountain, from its base on the ocean floor, is Mauna Kea, on Hawaii. It is 33,474 feet (10,203 meters) high, but only 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) are above sea level. The summit of Mauna Kea has been a celestial observatory since ancient times and is considered to be one of the best astronomical sites in the world. The summit of Mauna Kea is above approximately 40 percent of Earth’s atmosphere, which not surprisingly, allows for exceptionally clear and amazing images of the night sky. Additionally, the peak is well above the inversion layer, which leads to approximately 300 clear nights per year.

• Standing at 4,406 feet (1,343 meters), Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles, and as such is the major challenge for any United Kingdom climber or walker. In Gaelic, the mountain’s name Beinn Nibheis has been linked with Irish and Gaelic words meaning poisonous or terrible.

• As the most recognized mountain on the European continent, the roughly chiseled rock pyramid that is the Matterhorn is a defining geographical landmark. With a near perfect pyramid, its absolute symmetry distinguishes this mountain. It is considered the birthplace of climbing.



HanukkahHanukkah is celebrated around the world for eight days and nights. As in many other celebra-tions of many other cultures, it’s about family gathering together and sharing food, bless-ings and good times.

• It’s a celebration of restored freedom. Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the Maccabees or Israelites over the Greek-Syrian ruler Antiochus about 2,200 years ago.

• The holiday starts on the 25th of the month of Kislev. But because the Hebrew calendar is lunar rather than solar, it can fall anywhere from November to December on the standard calendar.

• The date for Hanukkah this year is December 1 (sundown) to December 9.

• Though Jews around the world commemorate Hanukkah, in Israel, Hanukkah is particularly festive. After all, to celebrate Hanukkah in Israel is to celebrate it where the story of the Maccabees took place. It’s a national holiday; schools are closed, menorahs are publicly displayed, and parties abound.

• One of the most recognized symbols of Hanukkah, the chanukkiah is a special nine-branched candelabrum. It is different from the standard menorah, which holds seven candles and is the emblem of the State of Israel.

• The chanukkiah or hanukkiyah symbolizes the time when the Maccabees wanted to rededicate their temple by lighting the “eternal flame,” but they only had enough consecrated oil to burn for one day. Miraculously, that little bit of oil lasted for eight days until more purified oil could be found.

oil in the chanukkiah for the eight days of Hanukkah, adding one candle each day. The ninth candle, the center one, is used to light the others.

• Each night of Hanukkah, an additional candle is placed in the chanukkiah from right to left, and then lit from left to right. On the last night, all the candles are lit.

• A dreidel, or sivion, is a four-sided top that has a Hebrew letter on each side. Spinning the dreidel is a popular Hanukkah custom.

• During Hanukkah, families eat latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiot (jelly donuts) or other foods that are fried in oil to celebrate and commemorate the miracle of purified oil.

• Gifts are also exchanged during the festival of Hanukkah. This tradition is adapted from the Christmas tradition of gift giving.

• Hanukkah gelt, or money, is often distributed to children to enhance their enjoyment of the holiday. The amount is usually in small coins, although grandparents or other relatives may give larger sums as an official Hanukkah gift.

• Unlike most spelling words you remember from school, Hanukkah can be correctly spelled many different ways, including Chanukah, Chanukkah and Hanukkah.

• In North America especially, Hanukkah gained increased importance with many Jewish families in the latter half of the twentieth century, including large numbers of secular Jews who wanted a Jewish alternative to Christmas.

Some Jews in North America and Israel now celebrate the environment along with Hanukkah, using the holiday’s “miracle of the oil” to reflect upon energy conservation.

HanukkahHanukkah is celebrated around the world for eight days and nights. As in many other celebra-tions of many other cultures, it’s about family gathering together and sharing food, bless-ings and good times.

• It’s a celebration of restored freedom. Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the Maccabees or Israelites over the Greek-Syrian ruler Antiochus about 2,200 years ago.

• The holiday starts on the 25th of the month of Kislev. But because the Hebrew calendar is lunar rather than solar, it can fall anywhere from November to December on the standard calendar.

• The date for Hanukkah this year is December 1 (sundown) to December 9.

• Though Jews around the world commemorate Hanukkah, in Israel, Hanukkah is particularly festive. After all, to celebrate Hanukkah in Israel is to celebrate it where the story of the Maccabees took place. It’s a national holiday; schools are closed, menorahs are publicly displayed, and parties abound.

• One of the most recognized symbols of Hanukkah, the chanukkiah is a special nine-branched candelabrum. It is different from the standard menorah, which holds seven candles and is the emblem of the State of Israel.

• The chanukkiah or hanukkiyah symbolizes the time when the Maccabees wanted to rededicate their temple by lighting the “eternal flame,” but they only had enough consecrated oil to burn for one day. Miraculously, that little bit of oil lasted for eight days until more purified oil could be found.
