One had to be rich just to get a look-in. You had to be worth more than ten million to be able to secure a property. There were houses, it was true – each house was not much more than a two-story town-house, in design, but the comforts of each house were made for the Rich & Shameless, and the houses weren’t stuck so close together that you could throw a stone and break a window next door – there was a respectable amount of distance between houses.

Tyson was a soft criminal, though. Robbery, both home and cyber, were the limits of his illegal activities, and such things were virtually useless on The Island anyway. Why steal here when you could get it virtually free by asking? Besides, Tyson traded on the Stock Market, and also had large numbers of shares in various profitable mining ventures. His wealth was readily apparent, and he didn’t have to engage in crime a lot these days to keep it that

The families of rice planters who owned plantations on the nearby rivers first settled Pawley’s Island in the early 1700’s. The planters knew that it was unhealthy to remain on the rivers in summer3. The breezy island consequently became a refuge from the heat and mosquitoes plaguing the rivers. With African slaves that were brought to the area came malaria, so those of means would move to summer cottages on the island to avoid the mosquito-vectored sicknesses.1 Families, horses, cows, bedding, provisions and furniture were moved

Former President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives Islands once said, “If we do not act now, my island nation will be submerged by the sea”. In his 2011 documentary, The Island President, President Nasheed voices his concern for the rapid impact of climate change on his country. The Maldives are beginning to face their future as sunken islands, and if nothing is done to prevent rapid sea level changes, the islands will face destruction. President Nasheed recognized this, but following a political coup d’état, on February 2, 2012, he was forced to resign and was replaced by President Abdulla Yameen.
