Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Martinique FranceAntilles

Ce samedi après-midi, Météo France place notre île en niveau de vigilance jaune. Les pluies devraient durer jusqu’à lundi, avec une accalmie dimanche cependant.

Une masse d’air est humide et instable à l’arrière de l’onde tropicale qui a traversé l’Arc des Petites Antilles la nuit dernière, précise Météo France dans son bulletin de ce samedi fin d’après-midi. La faiblesse du vent augmente le risque de fortes averses à proximité du relief. Cela conduit au passage en vigilance jaune. La Guadeloupe est, elle, en vigilance orange.

Prévisions 

Des averses de bonne intensité localement orageuses sont encore attendues, en soirée et la nuit prochaine. Des cumuls de 40 à 50 mm en 3h et de 70 à 100 mm en 12 heures sont possibles. Si une accalmie temporaire se dessine en matinée de demain, les averses localement marquées devraient être de nouveau d’actualité dès la mi-journée et l’après-midi, surtout sur le relief et sur la côte caraïbe. La nuit de dimanche à lundi, les averses reviennent sur l’ensemble du département. 

Données observées 

Région Fond-Saint -Denis/Saint-Pierre/Morne rouge : 50 à 80 mm en 6 heures. 

Recommandations

Renseignez vous sur les conditions météorologiques :

– Si vous devez pratiquer des sports à risque en extérieur,

– Si vous ou vos activités sont situées dans une zone exposée, sur terre comme sur mer. 

En cas d’orage, évitez l’utilisation des téléphones et des appareils électriques. Ne vous abritez pas dans une zone boisée. 

En cas de fortes pluies, soyez très prudent à proximité des cours d’eau . Les passages de gué peuvent devenir vite très dangereux. Attention à leurs traversées.

Changes to limited liability company rules coming soon Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

Existing limited liability companies (LLCs) would no longer have to file a certificate of amendment on membership changes with the Companies Register, as one of the key proposed changes in the Limited Liability Companies (Amendment) Bill, 2022.

While changes would no longer be filed with the Companies Register, the amendment also would require LLCs to maintain, at their registered offices, the names and addresses of their members in their register of members, and the nature of their voting rights; and to provide this information upon demand to the Companies Register.

Lastly, because penalties for failure to provide beneficial ownership information are now covered in the Cayman Islands’ beneficial ownership administrative fines regime, the amendment proposes to remove the penalties provision in the current LLC Act, thereby removing the duplication.

“These three amendments are in line with global regulatory requirements set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for fighting financial crimes, while clarifying the LLCs’ responsibilities in relation to maintaining and providing beneficial ownership information,” the Minister of Financial Services and Commerce, the Hon. Andr? Ebanks, said.

A “beneficial owner” is a person who ultimately owns or controls an entity, although the entity may be held in another name.

Minister Ebanks will present the Bill at the next sitting of Parliament.

US Hospital Ship To Deploy To Latin America, Caribbean – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

The U.S. Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) will deploy to the U.S. Southern Command area of operations this fall as part of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet’s Continuing Promise 2022 mission.

Detailed planning is currently underway for the Comfort to visit Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras.

During these mission stops, Continuing Promise medical teams will focus on working alongside partner nation medical personnel to provide care on board and at land-based medical sites to increase medical readiness, strengthen partnerships, and enhance the combined capabilities of the U.S. Navy and partner nations to respond to public health disasters and humanitarian crises.

“No mission better demonstrates our enduring commitment to the region as we work collaboratively with likeminded nations to ensure a secure, free, and prosperous hemisphere,” said Rear Adm. Jim Aiken, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet.

“Today, more than ever, our fates are inextricably linked in the Western Hemisphere. Continuing Promise provides valuable training for U.S. and partner nation personnel to learn from each other and to work side by side to improve the medical readiness of our neighborhood while also collectively being prepared to meet regional challenges.”

The Continuing Promise 2022 main planning conference (MPC) took place in Jacksonville, Fla. July 6-7, and included over 100 participants from across the U.S. armed forces, Department of State, non-governmental organizations, and partner nation military members.

The conference allowed participants to discuss details of the mission including medical planning, training, logistics, and security for the ship and personnel while in host nation ports.

Capt. Bryan Carmichael, commodore of Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 4 will serve as mission commander for Continuing Promise 2022.

“I look forward to getting out there on Comfort and doing great things for America and our partners in the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility,” said Carmichael. “The mission helps show those who live in this part of the world they can turn to the United States for help whenever needed. Medical services is a big part of this mission but we are also building relationships with these countries and their people that will have lasting impacts.”

The Continuing Promise mission will include providing direct medical care and expeditionary veterinary care, conducting training and subject matter expert exchanges on various medical and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief topics, and leading seminars on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS).

WPS is a United Nations initiative that started with UNSCR 1325 signed in 2000. It was a public acknowledgement that women are more adversely impacted by conflict and crisis, and that including women in security planning will lead to a more peaceful world. The Department of Defense (DoD) signed the WPS Implementation Plan in 2020. It outlines defense objectives and goals that the DoD will strive to achieve in order to move the bar toward full WPS implementation. USSOUTHCOM and USNAVSO/4th Fleet are dedicated to WPS and the promotion of gendered perspectives.

Continuing Promise 2022 marks the twelfth mission to the region since 2007 and the seventh mission involving USNS Comfort. The mission will also foster goodwill, strengthen existing partnerships with partner nations, and encourage the establishment of new partnerships among countries, non-government organizations, and international organizations.

“We are incredibly excited by the opportunities presented by Continuing Promise 22,” said Capt. Bradford Smith, USNAVSO/U.S. 4th Fleet Surgeon. “In addition to providing world class care to those in need, we are looking forward to strengthening relationships with our partner nations through subject matter expert exchanges as well as humanitarian relief and disaster exercises to build capacity and resilience during times of crisis.”

A U.S. Navy hospital ship has the capacity to provide afloat, mobile, acute surgical medical facilities to the U.S. military and partners.

The medical and dental capabilities provided during this deployment will assist communities with a wide range of health services including general adult care, pediatric care, dental treatment, and optometry.

Additionally, limited surgical procedures will be offered in coordination with partner personnel.

The final planning conference will take place in September, which will finalize details of the mission. Additional details on the upcoming deployment will be released at a later date.

U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet supports U.S. Southern Command’s joint and combined military operations by employing maritime forces in cooperative maritime security operations to maintain access, enhance interoperability, and build enduring partnerships in order to enhance regional security and promote peace, stability and prosperity in the Caribbean, Central and South American region.

An 81-year-old Danish woman travelling from Africa to Canada was arrested at Warsaw airport on suspicion of illegal possession of heroin worth over US$515K, officials in Poland said on Friday.

Customs officers at Frederic Chopin Airport decided to check the woman’s luggage Sunday after becoming suspicious of her itinerary and her uneasy behaviour.

Packages with five kilograms (11 lbs) of heroin were discovered under a false suitcase bottom.

The woman, travelling from Malawi and Kenya through Doha and Warsaw, denied any wrongdoing and said family members had given her the suitcase with gifts for relatives in Canada, according to Aleksandra Skrzyniarz, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office in Warsaw.

She was detained for three months and prosecutors have opened an investigation; under Polish law, she faces up to 15 years in prison for illegal possession of narcotics.

Denmark officials confirmed that a Danish citizen was detained in Poland and said the ministry is “providing consular assistance”.
