Take a Drive on the Wrong Side of the Road With Humorist and New ...Texas humorist Diana Estill releases her first book, Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road (Brown Books Publishing). This compilation of 55 amusing tales recently earned a four-star review from ForeWord Clarion reviews. Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 25, 2006 -- To get where you want to go, sometimes you have to change course. That message was driven home for Texas author and newspaper columnist Diana Estill when she vacationed in Grand Cayman, where cars keep left—and tourists frequently forget. In her first book, Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road: Humorous Views on Love, Lust, and Lawn Care (Brown Books Publishing Group, Inc.), the author shares her admittedly skewed views on everything from foreign car rentals to designer dogs and toilet repairs. The book, which hilariously details the experience of driving a British "Beanmobile" in the left lane, is scheduled for release June 10, 2006.
Farmers say they want their share of the pieMembers of the Cayman Islands Agricultural Society are fed up with what they say are 'lack of value for money' overseas trips made by Ministry of Agriculture and Department of Agriculture officials.At the society monthly meeting at the Stacy Watler Pavilion in Lower Valley on Monday night, several members questioned their board on the matter, saying they were not benefiting in any way. Some farmers noted that those government officials attended numerous trade shows and workshops but no results have been seen in agriculture, instead thousands of dollars have been wasted. One farmer lamented that the society members had to pay their overseas bills while the public servants had all expenses paid trips with some living like they were on honeymoon, he said. Sizzling international demand for NZ lawyersProfessionals, including lawyers, made up the largest percentage of permanent departures from New Zealand in the year to June 2005, when government statistics show those departures increased by 13 per cent.Jonathan Walmsley, director of Sydney-based legal recruitment agency Dolman, predicts New Zealand lawyers will continue to contribute to those departures as non-traditional legal markets open up. While New Zealand lawyers from tier one firms in Auckland and Wellington are 'tried and tested' in the traditional overseas markets of Australia, the UK, and Asia, those markets are now also considering employing New Zealand lawyers from boutique firms, said Walmsley. This is particularly so in the corporate and finance areas, where the demand for lawyers has grown exponentially.
