The Taite Guide to Project Management
Project Management Life as a project manager is comparable to a mountain climber's. The big difference being that when you get to the peak you find there is no safe way down. Whenever I get really down, my wife reminds me that it takes one women nine months to have a baby and no matter how you try it is impossible to perform the same feat in one month by impregnating nine women. It was a beautiful ...

Unusual Facts from Wikipedia: Unusual Places- Argleton

Here is the first of a series of unusual places and other oddities that have earned an entry into Wikipedia. It is unlikely that they could have been found in any conventional encyclopedia.

1. Argleton is a town in West Lancashire, England. It appears on Google Maps and Google Earth, is located just off the A59 road within the civil parish of Aughton. The only thing unusual about Argleton is that it doesn’t exist and in reality is nothing more than empty fields. Data from Google is used by other online information services which are consequently treating Argleton as a real settlement within the L39 postcode area. As a result, Argleton also appears in numerous listings for things such as real estate, employment and weather, but although the people, businesses and services listed are all in fact real, they are actually based elsewhere in the same postcode area. The anomaly was first noticed by Mike Nolan, head of web services at nearby Edge Hill University, who posted about it on his blog in September 2008. In early 2009 it was investigated further by Nolan’s colleague, Roy Bayfield, who walked to the area shown on Google Maps to see if there was anything special about it. As of 4 November, a Google search for “Argleton” was generating more than 25,000 hits. Other websites were selling merchandise with slogans such as “I visited Argleton and all I got was this T-shirt” and “New York, London, Paris, Argleton”.

One possible explanation for the presence of Argleton is that it was added deliberately as a copyright trap to catch any violations of copyright, though such bogus entries are typically much less obvious.
A spokesman for Google stated that, “While the vast majority of this information is correct there are occasional errors”, and encouraged users to report any issues directly to their data provider. Data for Google Maps is provided by Netherlands-based Tele Atlas, who were unable to explain how such anomalies could get into their database, but said that Argleton would be removed from the map.
