Between the Palms has a new contributing writer: Mark Carter! He joined both the Finance Committee and Communications Committee this spring. Given his strong financial background, he’s agreed to write a monthly column titled Between the Numbers as another way to keep our members informed about HP’s finances. See page 14 for his inaugural column.

For all of you who have travel plans … especially overseas … please see my article Cyber Security: Travel Safely on page 19. It contains tips to make your travel less subject to cyber criminals. It also contains some important things to consider when planning any trip—especially when traveling to an international destination.
In case you missed it, for overall cyber security advice, check out my article Cyber Security … Take Steps NOW which appeared in the March BTP. Here’s the link: https://btp.seabreezecommunications.com/2025/02/18/cyber-security-take-steps-now/

On June 6, 1944, General Eisenhower gave the go-ahead for the largest amphibious military operation in history: Operation Overlord, code named D-Day, the Allied invasion of northern France. In commemoration of that event, I have updated Interesting World War II Facts, which originally appeared in BTP in November 2023. The timeline is quite sobering … See page 24.

It bears repeating: please know there’s an option for you to download this issue (or any prior issue) of BTP as a PDF (Adobe) for viewing, rather than using a web browser. When BTP is first opened, scroll down to the bottom of page 1. When there, simply click the downward arrow icon (see sample #3 below) to download the magazine as a PDF on your laptop, iPad, or cell phone. The PDF version shows one page at a time (vs the two pages you see side by side “on line”). Plus, if you download the issue, you can print any page you like, and also store any current or prior issue on your laptop. It’s easy-peasy!
