The resilience of a people is often reflected in the children of a nation. Young girls were seen playing jump-rope at a makeshift camp in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, only days after the devastating earthquake hit the area. Michael Deibert who has recently returned to Haiti said that while the scenes of devastation were nightmarish, he was amazed at how the signs of life were slowly being restored.

Juan Alberto Poch, 57, has been arrested by the Spanish police. Poch is an Argentinian pilot accused of having taken part in ‘death flights’, in which hundreds of opponents of his country’s military junta where thrown live out of planes into the ocean, during the ‘dirty war’.
Poch, who also has Dutch nationality, was arrested while at the controls of a budget airline Dutch holiday jet. He was about to fly from Valencia to Amsterdam. Poch is wanted by the courts in Argentia to answer allegations that he flew navy aircraft on death flights between 1976 and 1983.
Across the ocean, it has been revealed that there is a hidden army of ex-servicemen in Britain.
Crew and passengers were safely released from an Aeromexico’s Boeing 737-800 which had been briefly hijacked, by what at first appeared to be a group of religious fanatics.
After standing up to get luggage out of overhead bins the hijacker suddenly took control of the airplane. Forty-four year-old Bolivian man, José Mar Flores Pereira, threatened the pilot with a small box wrapped in tape.
The pilots then spoke to passengers over the PA system telling those on board that the plane had been hijacked and asking them to remain calm and in their seats. There was no yelling or sense of panic on the plane.
If a butterfly flaps its wings in Beijing and a plane falls out of the sky in New York, who is sneezing where, to make multi-storey buildings collapse?
First there was the notorious 13-floor Lotus Riverside apartment building in Minhang, Shanghai, China, that fell over, fortunately before it was occupied. The foundation of the building was being excavated to make way for a garage.
The business of the developers of the building have been closed down, while the government investigates the mater. Prospective home owners are now demonstrating against the unfair payout they have received.
Now the No. 9 building complex of Zhongxiang Longbowan residential area in Minhang, has been slowly sinking for the past month. The back of the building has risen around 2.5 cm while the rest of the building has sunk downwards almost 10 cm, an increase of 6 cm in just one month.
People are still living in the building. Even though it has been reported to the authorities, no one appears to be doing anything to deal with the problem.
Now a five storied building has toppled into the raging flooded river in Taitung country. This is in the wake of the deadly Typhoon Morakot, which hit Taiwan, causing a mudslide that buried an entire village, while the inhabitants slept. There are around 4 - 600 people still missing. “A part of the mountain above us just fell on the village,” said one shocked survivor.
Taiwan is experiencing the worst flooding in half a century, after Typhoon Morakot dumped up to 80 inches of rain over the weekend. The waves reached heights of 26 feet and more than 2,000 houses have collapsed.
Typhoon Morakot swept on into China, causing the evacuation of nearly 1 million people. Five apartment buildings have collapsed in China.
Typhoon Morakot killed 22 people in the Philippines.
Further north Japan was slammed with Tyhpoon Etau, killing 12 people, with 10 still missing.
Sitting in the hustle and bustle of New York, Nancy Martel was captivated by the thought of winning an exotic 7 day holiday for two in the South Pacific. It was a long shot and she never dreamed for one minute it would be hers, but she liked the idea that that money she put into the project would put some really needy kids into high school.
Nancy won the first Monthly Draw from Win a Resort. She now has the choice of a fabulous tropical island holiday, (better than anything she saw on the reality TV show ‘Survivor’), or she could simply settle for $1000 Cash. What a choice!
Vanuatu is on the North Western corner of the South Pacific, just two and a half hours off the eastern coast of Australia. It not only hosted a ‘Survivors’ program, but was also voted the Happiest Country On Earth, in 2006.
Vanuatu is a y-shaped archipelago of 83 coral based islands, with a unique blend of ancient tribes and a wide variety of over 153 distinct languages. A fascinating country with unique giant banyan trees, one of the earth’s largest living organisms, plus giant prehistoric tree ferns. Vanuatu is also the home of one of the world’s tallest free standing musical instruments.
The geography ranges from pristine wilderness and underwater wonderland, to live volcanoes. It is the original home of the extreme sport of bungee jumping, as well as the distinct water music. A country that has been barely tamed by the 21st century and full of fascinating surprises. The general beauty, relaxed way of life and genuinely friendly people make Vanuatu one of the most exotic travel destinations in the world. It is truly the unpolished jewel of the South Pacific - the Dream Travel Destination Of The World.
For many years Vanuatu was a condominium of both the French and English rule, which has left behind a rich dual heritage, both in language and cuisine. Vanuatu also came under the influence of the presence of thousands of American soldiers stationed in the islands, during World War 11.
Because Nancy purchased a Diamond Discount Voucher, she also gets a trip to the southern island of Tanna, and the opportunity to stand on the very lip of a live volcano. What an awesome experience!
Already the next Monthly Draw is under way. You have nothing to lose by taking a few minutes to check it out at Win a Resort. The next Discount Voucher could have your name on it and it could be next winning ticket. You could be on your way to Vanuatu.
Hard-hit US car workers recently answered a casting call for contestants to enter the fantastic CBS reality TV show Survivor. Three hundred people turned up on a weekday afternoon at a suburban bar in Detroit.
“The thought of spending seven weeks on a tropical island sounds just too enticing to pass up,” said one of the hopefuls. Another said “I’m in line because I refuse to participate in the recession”.
Rob Koleski, an electrician, recently lost his home to foreclosure when he was laid off by Ford, said “You wouldn’t have to worry about paying the rent. I think this place is horrible. I just want to get out of here.”
The US version of the reality TV show, ‘Survivor ‘ has been a favourite for 18 seasons and has become one of the most successful shows in the history of the US broadcasting. Shows such as Suvivor and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire started a reality television revolution around the world.
Television network CBS organizer, Heather Kuh, said: “Our casting calls have been getting bigger.” CBS made anywhere between $40-$50 million dollars in advertising revenue during Survivor’s final three episodes last summer.
The contestants are taken to remote locations that vary from Vanuatu to Samoa and Micronesia. The participants face (usually three day) challenges that involve physical and mental endurance, problem solving, teamwork, and willpower. They include gross food challenges, knowledge quizzes, plus some individual challenges. The winning team is usually given either an immunity or challenge reward.
At the close of each episode, the tribemates vote one person off the tribe. The last contestant to survive on the show collects a prize of $1m (before taxes). All participants receive a cash prize at some point, starting with $25,000 to the first one voted off the show.
There are several theories as to why the reality show ’Survivor’ has proved so popular, particularly in the United States. Survivor is more than just a game show, it is about human nature and how ordinary people (as opposed to actors) react differently under pressure. Some reality TV producers now subject applicants to psychological and medical tests before being admitted to the show, as the level of stress is very high.
The wider television audience relate to the interplay of how to survive in difficult relationships and situations. The willingness of contestants to “do what it takes” to win in an individualistic and highly competitive “world”. The exchange of alliances made in an effort to gain power and the fact that usually the ‘rats’ of the pack get what’s coming to them.
You may not have made it to the TV Survivor show, but there is one way you can get to visit a survivor tropical island in the South Pacific, the world’s dream holiday destination. Check it out at http://winaresort.com/monothlydraw.html

All the money from the Discount Voucher goes to provide high school education grants to kids in a third world country, Vanuatu. We have our first student in the program right now. She’s such a honey and so deserving of the grant. She sleeps on a coral floor with her three sisters. We had to buy her a kerosene lamp so she could do her homework at night.
(Buying a Discount Voucher is a great way to celebrate International Mother’s Day! You could even give it away as a very unique gift.)
