Why is Belize the only country not named on the maps on TV? Are we, (the united states) punishing them? why?

Posted on August 30, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Belize is the only Country south of our borders that the official language is English. They are only 25 years old and are an emerging Country. You would think more support would be offered. I moved there over two years ago and see it as a Country dedicated to literacy and growth in protecting one of the few last remaining natural paridises left. I know that Belize has not signed the Trade agreement with the US because it would obligated them to sell cheap to the US like all the other central American Countries? Personally, I aplaude that. Just makes good business sense. Or is it because it’s a place some Trafficers use to bring contraban into mexico or the US? Why punish the people / the Rightful inheriters of Belize for any reasons of that sort? Some facts would be nice.

Why US has the highest prison population in the world higher than China, Cuba and other communist countries?

Posted on August 1, 2010 by admin| 30 Comments

More than 9.25 million people are held in penal institutions throughout the world, mostly as pre-trial detainees (remand prisoners) or as sentenced prisoners. Almost half of these are in the United States (2.19m), China (1.55m plus pre- trial detainees and prisoners in ‘administrative detention’) or Russia (0.87m).

The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world, some 738 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Russia (611), St Kitts & Nevis (547), U.S. Virgin Is. (521), Turkmenistan (c.489), Belize (487), Cuba (c.487), Palau (478), British Virgin Is. (464), Bermuda (463), Bahamas (462), Cayman Is. (453), American Samoa (446), Belarus (426) and Dominica (419).
However, more than three fifths of countries (61%) have rates below 150 per 100,000. (The rate in England and Wales – 148 per 100,000 of the national population – is above the mid-point in the World List.)

Vacation ideas for group of 22 people?

Posted on July 30, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

A group of friends (let’s say 13 adults, 9 kids aged 3 – 9) living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, have over the years gone on 3 wonderful week long vacations together. We have visited
1. A villa in Tuscany
2. A resort in Costa Rica
3. A huge beach house in Hawaii
We would like recommendations for other places we could go as a group. A perfect place for us would be a huge house on a beach with a swimming pool, a huge kitchen, and dining room table that would seat 13 adults. We really like a great shared community space. However, we are flexible. If you know a place on the beach in Belize that comes with its own cook we would certainly be interested. Specific recommendations and descriptions of what you like about the place would be appreciated. We are currently thinking about Thailand or Vietnam, but are open to ideas. For example, a recommendation for a villa on the island of Lamu might also be interesting to dream about even if we could not afford it.
