Career Launcher, India's leading edtech and competitive test preparation platform, entered into the Study Abroad segment through their first physical Study Abroad Fair 2022 in New Delhi at The Park Hotel, Connaught Place, on Saturday, 17^th September. The Fair received a strong footfall of students seeking advice on study programs, career opportunities, fees, and scholarship details. The sought-after destinations remain the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Opening up of international travel post-pandemic, the resumption of physical classes, and the attraction of studying at an international university are all these factors attracting Indian students to look at study abroad options.

Career Launcher's 'Study Abroad Fair 2022' was held to connect aspiring students with 50+ Universities from the  US, UK, Canada and Australia. The day-long event was hosted for schools, college students, and working professionals.

The Fair, by design, ensured that every student was first counselled by Career Launcher Study Abroad Counsellors to get course and college recommendations based on their academics and profile parameters. The counselling ensured that the students interacted with the right-fit universities. The booths also included destination experts from the USA, Canada, UK and Australia and education loan experts who helped aspirants and their parents to resolve their specific queries related to career opportunities, scholarships and post-study work visas.

The Education Loan experts guided students and parents about the process and steps to avail of student loans. University admission representatives and study abroad consultants imparted the most current and authentic information to support students and parents in making the right decisions.

The Fair received fantastic feedback from attendees and their parents, who appreciated the initiative by Career Launcher. One of the parents at the Fair, Mr J.K. Khokhar, said "I came to the Fair for my daughter who has done her BBA from Manav Rachna International University, Faridabad. She is interested in pursuing a Master's in Management in Canada or UK. There are a lot of universities at the fair offering multiple courses. It's an excellent program for students as well as their parents. Our overall experience was very good."

Saumya, a class 12^th student, also shared her experience "I am aiming for a Bachelor's in Psychology from abroad, and that's why I attended the Fair. My experience was great! I got all the information and counselling that I needed, and now I would be applying to the relevant programs."

Anubhav Seth, Associate Vice President – International Education, Career Launcher, said: "The footfall at our Study Abroad Fair has been unprecedented. Students came to the event prepared with specific questions for international university representatives. We also met a lot of outstation students who travelled to Delhi just to attend the event. We will very soon conduct our study abroad fairs across all major cities in India and simultaneously roll out the virtual edition of our fairs. It will ensure that every student who cannot attend the physical fairs for any reason is enabled with the correct information to kickstart their study abroad journey."

Nye & Company Auctioneers will hold back-to-back online sales in October, beginning on Wednesday, October 19th, with A Moment in Time; The Watch Sale at 10 am Eastern – nearly 75 lots of watches by makers such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Universal Geneve and others. A large number of pieces come with the original boxes and papers.

Immediately following the watch sale that day, and on into the next day, October 20th, will be a live-online Chic and Antique Estate Treasures Auction, featuring a curated mix of around 550 lots of fine and decorative arts spanning the 17th century to present day, including a selection of fine property from the Stanley Weiss collection and a fully restored 1962 Roman Red Corvette.

The Moment in Time sale includes a late 1940’s Patek Philippe oversized man’s watch in rose gold, Ref. 1543. Estimated at $5,000-$10,000, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece by the famed Swiss watchmaking firm. There are also a number of Cartier watches and vintage Rolexes dating from the 1920’s through the 1970’s, most retaining the original box and papers.

An unusual feature of this sale is the large number of excellent early “electric” watches from both Hamilton and Bulova. The Hamiltons include a gold Ventura, a gold-filled Everest, a Savitar and a gold Polaris. There is also a Bulova Accutron Deep Sea watch included in the sale.

“There is a broad and diverse selection of watches for every price point,” said Charles Potters when asked about the collection, “as well as a fine selection of hard to get and unusual watch parts.” Mr. Potters is serving as a consultant and expert for Nye & Company in this auction.

Headlining the Chic and Antique Estates Treasure auction is property consigned by the highly regarded Rhode Island collector, Stanley Weiss. For over 30 years, Stanley developed an eye for the early American aesthetic, from Queen Anne through the Neoclassical periods. His passion and enthusiasm for quality craftsmanship and select woods are evident in each piece he owned.

Highlights include a superb Chippendale mahogany block-front desk from Massachusetts. Elevated with a fan carved interior, this piece is truly special. Another eye-catcher is a monumental classical mahogany bookcase attributed to Joseph Meeks and Sons (New York, circa 1830). Estimated at $3,000-$5,000, this piece offers a whole lot of bang for the buck.

Another fine New York piece is a paw foot lyre-back side chair attributed to the famed cabinetmaker, Duncan Phyfe. This delicate and rare chair is conservatively priced at $1,500-$3,000. Moving back up the coast, there is a Federal card table from Massachusetts with lunette inlay attributed to cabinetmakers John and Thomas Seymour (or one of their contemporaries).

Highlights from other consignments include a George III carved giltwood overmantel mirror in the Chinese taste; a pair of George III giltwood looking glasses; a Regency inlaid mahogany sofa table; and a George III mahogany Pembroke table with saltire stretcher. From a New England collection is a nice Queen Anne maple high chest of drawers with pad feet. The American Academy of Rome is consigning an architect’s desk attributed to Gillows (Lancaster / London).

An exceptional group of metalwork is led by a bison-decorated silver and copper covered, antler-mounted footed bowl by Joseph Heinrich (est. $5,000-$10,000); a large Tiffany sterling silver "Chrysanthemum" flatware service consigned by a direct descendent of the founders of A&P supermarkets; a Tiffany sterling silver coffee service and several large size sterling trays; and a repousse coffee pot by the Baltimore silversmith Andrew Ellicott Warner (est. $800-$1,200).

Additional items in the decorative art selection include two 19th century needleworks from Sparta and Newton, in Northern New Jersey. Descended in the family of the consignor, these exceptional examples are very rare. Continuing the theme of 19th century New Jersey pieces is a pair of oil on canvas portraits attributed to Micah Williams and a New Jersey flow-blue platter.

For those who prefer 20th century design, there is a Red Leopard turned maple bowl by Philip Moulthrop. Estimated at $2,000-$4,000, this piece is a shining example of his work.

Finally, for those who want something to truly spice up their life, Nye & Company is offering an award-winning, frame-off restored 1962 Roman Red Corvette with both hard and soft tops. This classic American sports car, the one Prince sang about, is perfect to satisfy one’s need for speed.

Discovery Map International, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, recently announced John Farrell as the new owner of Discovery Map of Lake George, New York. Farrell, the owner of JMF Publishing, purchased the map from Greg Cluver in September 2022.

Farrell has owned and operated JMH Publishing for more than 30 years. The company publishes a wide range of tourism publications tailored toward upstate New York, including: Upstate Summer Magazine, Adirondack Paddling, Adirondack Hiking, Adirondack Fishing, 1000 Islands – Tug Hill Craft Beverage Map, Great Lakes Seaway Trail Journey Magazine as well as the official guides and maps to more than 30 New York State Parks.

“Over the years we had picked up Discovery Maps and always thought they were well done and informative. Seeing that they were exactly the type of business we were already running, we looked into becoming a franchise owner,” said Farrell, who runs JMF Publishing with his wife of 38 years, Margaret. “After considering a start-up franchise and evaluating three franchises that were for sale we decided that Lake George was the best opportunity and that produced a touch of irony. Way back in 1994 the Lake George area was where JMF Publishing was firmly established with advertising sales and production of the official maps and guides for New York State campgrounds in region.”

Discovery Map produces colorful, hand-drawn maps that have become a favorite of travelers for navigating local dining, attractions, businesses, cultural experiences and tourist destinations. Discovery Map of Lake George includes sites and destinations ranging from Prospect Mountain to restaurants, shopping venues and various other activities.

Discovery Map prints are typically found on display in local stores, restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions. In addition to the printed map, DiscoveryMap.com offers curated content for visitors and those planning a trip (it’s even great for locals who are unaware of their own town’s hidden gems). The interactive map found on the website is to scale, thus can be used for turn-by-turn directions, as well as to access detailed information about areas of interest, places to eat, lodging and other noteworthy sites.

“As much as we rely on our smartphones, people still prefer printed-out maps,” said Farrell. “Although Discovery Map has a great website and online presence, the maps are truly like works of art and reveal the character of an area... and Lake George has plenty of that to go along with the natural beauty of the lake, historic sites like the Fort William McHenry Museum, hiking trails and theme parks like Lake George Theme Park.”

Local businesses interested in placing an ad in the upcoming Discovery Map of Lake George, to be published in winter 2023, can call (315) 922-8969 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Adds Farrell, “I am looking forward to taking the Discovery Map of Lake George into its next incarnation by building its online presence and adding more advertisers to the print version while keeping it a valuable and informative tourism resource.”

Discovery Map has more than 120 maps across the U.S. and Canada. It is the charge of the franchise owner to sell advertising on the map and the Discovery Map online version, the WebMap, available at discoverymap.com. The typical franchise owner will publish a printed map once per year.

Discovery Map franchise owners come from many walks of life. Some are corporate refugees or semi-retired individuals looking to build a business and fund their retirement. Others include recent college grads, as well as mothers (and fathers) looking to build a business with hours around the kids’ school schedules.

Discovery Map is a consistent winner of Franchise Business Review’s top 50 in franchisee satisfaction.
