How to fix iPhone - Outlook - Sync Problems
A few people I know (not me personally, I don't currently own any Apple products) have had problems sync'ing their Outlook and iPhone calendars. Below are the fixes that I've found have worked depending on the specific causes. I suggest trying them in this order.
Fix 1:
1) Open iTunes2) under "edit" open "preferences"
3) under the tab "Devices" click the button "reset sync history"
4) sync
Fix 2: Many people have reported better luck when their Outlook PST was in the newer Unicode Format.
Determine the format of your PST file: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/out...
Convert your PST file: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/out...
Fix 3:
Download the Microsoft Live Maps Add-in for Outlook via the following address:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...
Then once completely installed, immediately go into Add/Remove Programs and remove it. Attempt a re-sync with iTunes.
Fix 4:
Export your calendar into a comma separated values file and import into another calendar. Sync to the new calendar.
If you know of, or find an additional possible fix, leave it in the comments.

Top Major Shipping Lanes and Ports in the World
If you've ever wondered how busy the oceans are, or where things are shipped to/from over the oceans, this is a fascinating map. It lists the top 20 ports, as well as showing the top shipping lanes on the world's oceans. You can also easily see the connection between wealthy nations (the US, Western European nations, China) and the number of ports/trade routes between them as opposed to South America, and Africa.
If you're gonna be lost at sea, and want the best chance of being found, the North Atlantic is definitely the place to do it.
