 A
Global Positioning System, The Provincial Whore, & The Dead Woman -
A Tale Of The Argentine Department Of Highways.
The motorways of Argentina were to play a rather strange episode in my
life all because I was afraid to fly on the local airlines. I had become
justifiably terrified each time I flew in and out of Argentina of flying
on the Argentine airline, Aerolineas Argentina. Discovering that
Copa Airlines flew in and out of Córdoba, Argentina, I decided to
drive hundreds of miles to Córdoba, thus avoiding taking my life
in my hands on Aerolineas Argentina. Of course, little did I consider that
I was risking my life and my sanity by driving on Argentine highways. |
Update
on Uruguay´s Proposed Tax Bill: Foreign Residents Will NOT Face New
Taxes - With the final draft of the tax bill
now submitted to Congress, Juan Federico Fischer provides us with a detailed
explanation that shows why foreign residents do not need to worry at all.
Uruguay’s proposed tax changes: Foreign residents will not face new taxes.
In May of 2010, Uruguay announced it would make some adjustments to its
tax laws. Unfortunately, some unnecessary panic was generated when an early
draft of the law that was still under discussion within the cabinet surfaced.

The
Freedom Principles Of Harry Browne By Frederick Mann
- In 1973 author Harry Browne in the midst of a long career as an iconoclast
wrote a book that was the most iconoclastic thing he ever wrote.
Most of Harry's books were Investment Books, and while far from dry, they
did not prepare the reader for the excitement and revelation of his Freedom
book.

 How
To Disappear In Six Easy Lessons - Guerrillas In Our Midst - The Walled
City Of Cartagena - For professional reasons
I read all the books on 'disappearing,' how to become a fugitive, vanish,
jump ship, go away, and not be found. Most of them are rubbish. One
failing they all have in common is telling the 'disappeared' what location
to choose once they jump ship. Most of them mention Costa Rica.
Disappearing in Costa Rica is like disappearing in Beverly Hills, and almost
as expensive. No one disappears in Costa Rica, except perhaps the
Costa Ricans that you invest money with. If I were seeking a city
where I could live without being found it would be Havana, Cuba.
Cartagena would be a second cousin, a slightly poorer choice, but it would
certainly be on my list. - An article recently updated for the current
political realities that we face. |

Overseas
Income - How To Make A Living Overseas. We're
not going to find a preponderance of high paying jobs overseas, not in
most nations. After all, one of the attractions of living overseas
is living in a place with a lower cost of living, and a lower cost of living
usually, if not always, means that wages are also correspondingly low.
Most readers of this magazine want to make money overseas. I have been
looking at various ways to make a sustainable income overseas. Many expats,
(. . . far too many expats, in my opinion,) turned to selling real estate
as a way of making money overseas. But I'd like to point out that there
are a number of other ways to make money overseas; such as being an overseas
sales rep, or Aquaponics, and various other seldom considered modalities.

between a mindless cacophony of noise and the sound of real music?

 Juan
Enriquez shares mindboggling science on TED -
Juan Enriquez implies that there will soon be a new species of humanoid.
A return of Boskop man? No, a new species that evolves out of the skin
of the old. With humor, wit, and incisive logic, Juan Enriquez shows us
where we are, where we've been, and where we may be headed. . . . maybe.
Another George W. Bush could destroy the planet beyond repair and move
the human race beyond recovery. Good ideas can drive out bad ideas.
TED does have ideas worth spreading. |

choice, and accountability

I
have requested that there not be any form of advertisements on the articles
I submit for publication. For that reason, my articles do not appear on
the regular pages of the Escape Artist magazine.
|
|
On
my article pages all access links and article references appear at the
bottom of the page, not within the article. There are no Google Ads,
banners, or other disruptive crap on my pages. Doubtless there are multitudes
that will find sufficient crap in my articles without my compounding it.

Tropical
rainforests absorb nearly a fifth of all man-made CO2 emissions around
the world, which helps greatly to minimize the effects of climate change.
However, these same rainforests are currently being destroyed at the rate
of an area the size of a football pitch every four seconds. The Prince's
Rainforests Project (PRP) was set up in 2007 by HRH The Prince
of Wales.

thought of as a global community welcoming people from every discipline
and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding
of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future
for us all.

Skyful
of Lies & Black Swans The study highlights how in a moment
of major, unexpected crisis the institutions of power - whether political,
governmental, military or corporate – face a new, acute vulnerability of
both their influence and effectiveness. Increasingly routinely, a cheap,
"go-anywhere" camera or mobile phone challenges the credibility of the
massive human and financial resources of a government or corporation in
an acute crisis. The long-held conventional wisdom of a gulf in time and
quality between the news that signals an event and the whole truth eventually
emerging is fast being eliminated. The new lightweight technologies available
to almost anyone mean a new capacity for instant scrutiny and accountability
that is way beyond the narrower, assumed power and influence of the traditional
media.
