    COLDEST TEMPERATURE ON EARTH SURFACE
    August 9, 2010 - Antartica

    the record low surface temperature in Antartica was -135.8ºF (-93.2ºC), colder than the freezing point of dry ice. It was determined from analysis of remote-sensing satellite data later announced on 9 Dec 2013 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. The location was in pockets scattered near a high ice ridge between Dome Argus and Dome Fuji, two summits on the East Antarctic Plateau. August is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and the temperature resulted from the geographical nature and weather conditions in the pockets. The World Meteorological Organization official records are for air temperatures made a couple of meters above the surface. That recorded lowest temperature, made in Jul 1983 at the Vostok Research Station, Antarctica, remains at -128.6ºF (89.2ºC).

    PROTECTOGRAPH
    August 9, 1904 - New York, U.S.A.

    The Protectograph check-writing machine was patented under the title Printing-Stamp by Libanus McLouth Todd of Rochester, New York (U.S. Patent No. 766,853). It was designed to protect against check forgers by marking and embossing the amount on a check, thereby preventing the amount thus shown to be later dishonestly changed to a higher value. The apparatus had co-axial printing wheels with lines of raised type forming a series of numbers and suitable words. A check would be placed between the wheels and a platen. An inked felt-covered roller applied ink to the type as the wheels were turned to select the chosen imprint. The platen surface had a yielding material, such as rubber. When actuated by a hand-lever, it was raised from beneath the check and embossed the paper against the type.

Choose your timeshare reseller carefully. Some resellers will ask for upfront fees to sell your timeshare, do you think these companies will try hard to sell your timeshare once they have your money I suspect not.

Some companies will only charge fees once your timeshare has been sold, if this is the case you know the reseller will work hard to sell your property and will hopefully use a variety of channels to sell such as through the internet, TV ads and press advertising.

It is definitely worth considering a company which will provide more than 1 option to sell your timeshare; you may be happy to sell your timeshare for a fixed price, take the best offer or maybe even sell it through an auction. There are timeshare resale companies who offer all these options when you choose to sell your timeshare.

You will need to provide information such as the resort name, apartment size, the timeshare week you are selling and current maintenance fee and maybe photographs. A reputable timeshare resale company will give you access to resort information and photographs so don?t worry if you don?t have good quality photographs of your own to use.

To get the best selling price it is important you understand what your timeshare is worth so do your research on the price similar apartments are being marketed at. Again, a good timeshare resale company will be able to provide you with details of the current market value of your timeshare.

Remember there are lots of companies out there who will take large upfront fees off you to sell your timeshare and will not deliver on their promises. Find a company you know you can trust who will only charge a fee once your property is sold.
