The Bolivarian Revolution and the Antilles
I was fond of History, as much as almost any other kid. And I also liked wars, a sort of culture that society used to sow among boys. All the toys we were given were toy guns.
Being a child I was sent to a city where no one ever took me to the movies. Television did not exist then, and in the house where I lived there was no radio. Imagination was my only resort.
At my first school as a boarding student I read in wonderment about the Flood and Noah’s Ark. Afterwards I realized that this was perhaps a vestige of the last climate change in the history of our species that humanity preserved. Very likely this was the end of the last glacial period, which supposedly took place thousands of years ago. |

 Telecommunications operator also launches host of value promotions to help customers stay in contact with friends and family
Monday, February 8th, 2010 – Kingston, Jamaica: As part of Digicel’s relief efforts in Haiti, the country’s largest mobile operator has donated an assortment of generators, phones and credit to 15 radio stations in Port-au-Prince to help them get back in contact with their listeners after the earthquake on January 12th.
With no electricity, damaged equipment and buildings that were destroyed during the earthquake, radio stations were faced with a host of logistical challenges that made it difficult for them to broadcast important information to the people of Haiti. Now, with the donation of this vital equipment, these radio stations have been able to resume broadcasting. |

|
The Executive of the Antigua Labour Party (ALP), meeting on Friday night February 5 2010 at 46 North Street, has adopted a resolution which demands that the Baldwin Spencer regime act immediately to stem the rising tide of crime and violence that plagues our society, undermines our security, and places our economy in jeopardy. The resolution of the Executive of the ALP pointed to the brazen robberies with firearms by masked gunmen, the murder of the tourists in English Harbour/Falmouth in 2009 and as recently as January 19, 2010, the robbery of the couple strolling along Bay Street on Tuesday morning February 2, 2010, and the countless unpunished rapes committed by criminals against our womenfolk. |
