News Update: Latin American Shares Drop On Worries Global Economy Is Stalling

August 26, 2010 by  
Filed under latin america news

Latin American stocks eased, with Brazil’s Bovespa falling for a fifth straight session on fears the global recovery remains on very fragile ground. In the United States, July durable goods orders rose a less-than-expected 0.3% and new home sales plunged to an all-time low in July. In Europe, Ireland saw its credit rating cut one step by Standard & Poor’s to AA-, the lowest since 1995, on concern the rising cost of supporting the country’s struggling banks will swell the budget deficit. In Mexico, the unemployment rate rose to 5.7% in July after shrinking the two previous months. Fears that the global recovery is stalling pressured commodity prices, which hurt shares of commodity producers in Latin America. The Bovespa was last down 1.31% at 64,304.19 and Mexico’s IPC down 0.77% at 31,123.23.

Latin America debates legalising marijuana

August 16, 2010 by  
Filed under latin america news

A growing number of Latin American countries are debating whether or not to legalise the use and sale of marijuana.

For the first time, the former presidents of Mexico, Brazil and Colombia are discussing the legalisation as a means of curbing narcotics-related violence from rival cartels, which thrive off the illegal trade.

The talks are part of a debate spreading throughout the region in which some say the militarised war on drugs has failed and that it is time for a new alternative.

Al Jazeera’s Lucia Newman reports from Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital.

Is it possible to find openings for TEFL jobs in Latin America during the school year?

August 6, 2010 by  
Filed under latin america news

I know that you have to take risks in life, but I want to take an informed risk where I’ve analyzed what to do.

I’ve been trying to fix up a TEFL job, I have my heart set on Mexico but I would be open to almost any Latin American country. This will be my first.

I know the economy is bad and that it’s not easy to find jobs, but I’m not sure what to do!

Is it possible to find work at all once the school year has begun?

I’m worried that if I wait much longer, I won’t be able to find work at all and be job-less until next year.

I’ve applied to several places but I understand that at the end of the day, that your odds of getting a job are much better if you go and apply on the spot (in person).

So my plan is… TRY to line up a job in advance and THEN if I have no luck… go on a reconaissance mission.

Don’t get me wrong; I can’t wait to get back to Mexico!! It’s just that… I’m investing my savings and I worked really hard to earn that money!!

If I DO look for a job on the spot I feel it’s wise to save a little more money first… but, then I’m afraid it will be too late to find a job?

Please no rude or mean answers!

And please don’t try to talk me out of going to Mexico to teach English… you hear all this bad stuff about Mexico and I was concerned at first but I know what I’m doing.

I studied abroad in Mexico for a year, have friends there, speak Spanish fluently and I’ve looked into this and I think that what you hear in the news is blown out of proportion.

Even if I DID feel that I was taking a risk, you have to follow your heart, and mine is telling me to go to Mexico and be a TEFL teacher, and my heart never lies.

Thanks if you can help!!
I guess what I meant to say in my message: Do I go on a reconaissance mission now, ASAP, or save up some more money and THEN go…? A real dilemna.

You should always save some money in case something goes wrong and you need to get back home. Salaries in Mexico vary greatly depending on the region. Monterrey, Guadalajara, and the Mayan Riviera are the best places. Not every area is dangerous, but I wouldn’t recommend the Northern and Southern borders. Most teachers get hired in August or February and it’s better to obtain a job from home but sometimes you need to be there to apply. http://www.freetefljobplacement.com/Mexico.html

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (CNN) — A debris field located early Tuesday in the Atlantic Ocean off the northeast coast of Brazil is wreckage from the Air France jet that disappeared Monday, Brazil’s Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said.
Crew members of a French maritime patrol aircraft prepare to search for the jet Tuesday.

No survivors have been found, he said.

Jobim made the announcement after meeting with relatives and friends of Brazilians who were among the 228 people aboard Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, France.

On Tuesday morning, Brazilian air force planes spotted the debris field, consisting of an airplane seat, an orange life vest, small white fragments, an oil drum and signs of oil and kerosene, spokesman Jorge Amaral said. Another official described the debris field as being 5 kilometers long.

But it was not until a French commercial vessel arrived on the scene that confirmation of the debris’ origin was made.

Two Netherlands-flagged vessels were expected to arrive in the area later in the day; a Brazilian navy ship was expected to arrive Wednesday, officials said. Brazilian air force jets were continuing to comb the area for other debris, and a U.S. P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft was assisting as well.

The searchers also want to find the cockpit voice and data recorders, which might shed light on what caused the jet to disappear before any of the three pilots was able to issue a mayday.

The field is about 700 kilometers (435 miles) northeast of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago — 21 islands about 220 miles off the northeast coast of Brazil — and about 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of the plane’s flight path, the Brazilian air force said. See map of suspected crash zone »

The Airbus A330, which was flying at 35,000 feet and at 521 mph, encountered heavy turbulence early Monday, about three hours into what was supposed to be an 11-hour flight, according to the airline.

The plane carried 216 passengers — 126 men, 82 women, seven children and a baby — and 12 crew members, Air France said.

The majority of the people on the flight came from Brazil, France and Germany. Other victims were from 29 other countries, including two from the United States. Of the crew, 11 were French, and one was Brazilian.

One passenger held dual citizenship with the United States and another nation but was traveling on the other passport, the U.S. State Department said Tuesday. State Department spokesman Robert Wood did not identify the passenger or give other details.

An official list of victims by name was not available Tuesday afternoon, but two Americans on board — Michael Harris, 60, and his wife, Anne, 54 — were identified by the couple’s family and his employer.

Prince Pedro Luis de Orleans e Braganca, a member of Brazil’s non-reigning royal family, was also on the flight, his family said Monday. Pedro Luis was 26.

Also on the flight were two executives of the French tire company Michelin: Michelin Latin America President Luiz Roberto Anastacio and Antonio Gueiro, director of informatics.

The jet was 4 years old and had last undergone routine maintenance April 16.

Its crew included three pilots, including a 58-year-old captain who had logged 11,000 hours in flight, and nine cabin crew members, Air France said in a statement. About 1,700 of the captain’s hours were on two Airbus models.

Of the two co-pilots, ages 37 and 32, one had 3,000 hours of flying experience and the other 6,600 hours. The aircraft had flown 18,870 hours, the statement said.

The Air France plane has built-in homing devices, said Greg Feith, a former investigator with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.

Homing devices such as “pingers,” which are underwater locator beacons attached to flight data and cockpit voice recorders, can transmit signals from as deep as 14,000 feet.

The average depth of the Atlantic Ocean is about 12,000 feet: more than 2 miles.

“They’re water-activated, so if they’re sitting at the bottom of the ocean, of course, then the military assets will have to go in there with listening devices and try and home in on those particular signals,” Feith said.

Shortly before it disappeared, the plane’s automatic system initiated a four-minute exchange of messages to the company’s maintenance computers, indicating that “several pieces of aircraft equipment were at fault or had broken down,” Air France CEO Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said Monday.
