Turmoil Coming: How to Survive and Thrive
by Simon Black
A few months ago, I was in a park near the Louvre museum in Paris, enjoying a lazy summer day. I wasn’t the only one with such a great idea, there were probably a few hundred others enjoying the sunshine – children playing football, kissing lovers entwined on the grass, businessmen on a lunch break….
You can imagine my surprise when I looked up and saw a squad of French infantry troops on patrol through the park, brandishing assault rifles at the ‘ready’ (essentially holding the weapon in a fire position with index finger over the trigger).

Joys of the Road: Driving Lessons for Central America
by Kent Payne
Driving in Central America is easier than you might think -- even if you're not well-versed in Spanish.
The basics are the same as in North America. Drivers stick to the right hand side of the road, the traffic signs are in (comparatively) easy to read letters and familiar shapes, and the speed limits are posted in numbers (though 45 means 45 km/hour not 45 miles/hour). Yield signs are yellow triangles and stop signs (they say ALTO) are red and octagonal. It’s all about keeping your wits about you, and keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road (as the old song goes).
