The Royal Ocean Racing Club announces the inaugural RORC Caribbean 600 Series which will be based in Antigua from 14th to 24th February 2023.
The series will include three days of racing followed by the main event; the 14th edition of the RORC Caribbean 600. The RORC Caribbean 600 Series is open to boats racing under the IRC, CSA and MOCRA Class Rules, plus other suitable classes.
RORC Vice Commodore Eric de Turckheim’s Teasing Machine and RORC Commodore James Neville’s INO XXX are both set to compete in the RORC Caribbean 600 Series.
In two versions of Teasing Machine, Eric de Turckheim has competed in four previous editions of the RORC Caribbean 600.
“Historically, major 600-mile offshore races are part of a series, for example the Fastnet and the Admiral’s Cup. The RORC Caribbean 600 Series will have a similar format with inshore racing, a medium length offshore and a long offshore race,” commented Turckheim. “The RORC Caribbean 600 race is one of the best offshore races in the world, but it is normally won by a big boat. The Series will give smaller boats a better chance of winning due to the variety of races. The Royal Ocean Racing Club have a long-term plan for the RORC Caribbean 600 Series; making it one of the world’s most significant regattas.”
2023 RORC Caribbean 600 Series
14th to 24th February 2023
Tuesday 14th February 2023 – Inshore racing in coastal waters of Antigua
Wednesday 15th February – Inshore racing in coastal waters of Antigua
Thursday 16th February – Lay Day in Antigua
Friday 17th February – 360 Round Antigua Race
Saturday 18th February – Series Prize Giving and RORC Caribbean 600 Opening Party
Monday 20th February – Start of the 14th RORC Caribbean 600
Friday 24th February – Prize Giving RORC Caribbean 600
“The combination of a tactically challenging Caribbean destination, sunshine and warm blue waters makes this a totally unique event,” commented Race Director Chris Stone. “The RORC will continue to work with Antigua Yacht Club and their local volunteers supporting the management of this great event. All of the races in the Series will require boats to comply with World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations Category 3. For the RORC Caribbean 600 Race, boats will require additional equipment including: Liferaft, EPIRB and AIS Transponder.”
International Race Officer Hank Stuart from Rochester New York will be the Race Officer for the RORC Caribbean 600 Series. The intention is to run multiple races over the first two days. After Lay Day, the 52-mile 360 Round Antigua Race is scheduled and three days later will be the start of the 14th RORC Caribbean 600.

Una niña de 11 años enfrenta un segundo embarazo en Brasil tras ser de nuevo violada
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV
Una niña de 11 años está embarazada por segunda vez tras ser violada de nuevo en Teresina, la capital del estado brasileño de Piauí.
La menor tenía 10 años cuando se quedó encinta después de ser forzada sexualmente por un primo de 25 años. Según la ley brasileña, el aborto está permitido en casos de violación, cuando está en riesgo la vida de la madre o cuando el feto presenta anencefalia.
Pero la madre de la niña no autorizó el aborto porque lo considera “un crimen” y, en septiembre de 2021, dio a luz a su bebé, que actualmente lo cuida la abuela de la menor.
Según el diario Folha de Sao Paulo, tras el nacimiento del bebé la pequeña abandonó la escuela y debido a la mala relación que tenía con sus padres terminó en una casa de acogida, donde se descubrió su embarazo.
“Un susto, un shock”
“Estaba sin menstruar, retraída y con un comportamiento sospechoso. La llevamos a la maternidad para que le hiciesen las pruebas y quedó constatado que llevaba tres meses embarazada. Fue un susto, un shock”, comentó al diario Renata Bezerra, consejera de la casa de acogida.
Una vez más, la madre se niega a que su hija aborte y acusa a un tío paterno de haber abusado de la niña. Las autoridades investigan el caso y, por el momento, no hay ningún detenido.
Por su parte, Bezarra se mostró contraria a la decisión de la progenitora. “La niña ya tuvo un trauma con su primer embarazo, no está en condiciones de cuidar de otro niño”, resaltó.
Hace unos meses, el caso de una niña de 10 años que quedó embarazada tras ser violada y a la que una magistrada le impidió abortar con 22 semanas de gestación generó una gran conmoción en el país.
La presión mediática y social que provocó la historia permitió que finalmente se le realizase la interrupción del embarazado.
Según datos del Anuario Brasileño de Seguridad Pública, en 2021 hubo 35.735 casos registrados de violencia sexual contra menores de 13 años en este país. En la mayoría de los casos las agresiones se cometieron por familiares, cercanos o “personas de confianza”.

WMO Concerned Over Pollution, Climate Change Upsurge

A rise in the frequency, intensity and duration of heatwaves will not only increase wildfires this century but also worsen air quality – harming human health and ecosystems, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) launched on Wednesday, the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies.
“As the globe warms, wildfires and associated air pollution are expected to increase, even under a low emissions scenario,” said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
“In addition to human health impacts, this will also affect ecosystems as air pollutants settle from the atmosphere to Earth’s surface”.
‘Foretaste of the future’

The annual WMO Air Quality and Climate Bulletin warned that the interaction between pollution and climate change would impose a “climate penalty” for hundreds of millions of people.
In addition to reporting on the state of air quality and its close interlinkages with climate change, the Bulletin explores a range of possible air quality outcomes under high and low greenhouse gas emission scenarios.
The impact of last year’s wildfire smoke has served to augment this year’s heatwaves.
Mr. Taalas pointed to 2022 heatwaves in Europe and China, describing stable high atmospheric conditions, sunlight and low wind speeds as being “conducive to high pollution levels”.
“This is a foretaste of the future because we expect a further increase in the frequency, intensity and duration of heatwaves, which could lead to even worse air quality, a phenomenon known as the ‘climate penalty’”.
The “climate penalty” refers specifically to the increase in climate change as it impacts the air people breathe.
Air pollutants
The region with the strongest projected climate penalty – mainly Asia – is home to roughly one-quarter of the world’s population.
Climate change could exacerbate ozone pollution, which would lead to detrimental health impacts for hundreds of millions of people.
Because air quality and climate are interconnected, changes in one inevitably causes changes in the other.
The Bulletin explains that the combustion of fossil also emits nitrogen oxide, which can react with sunlight to form ozone and nitrate aerosols.
In turn, these air pollutants can negatively affect ecosystem health, including clean water, biodiversity, and carbon storage.
Looking ahead
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report provides scenarios on the evolution of air quality as temperatures increase throughout this century.
If greenhouse gas emissions remain high, such that global temperatures rise by 3° C from preindustrial levels by the second half of the 21st century, surface ozone levels are expected to increase across heavily polluted areas, particularly in Asia.
This includes a 20 per cent jump across Pakistan, northern India and Bangladesh, and 10 per cent across eastern China.
Fossil fuel emissions will cause ozone increases that will most likely trigger heatwaves, which in turn will amplify air pollution.
Therefore, the heatwaves that are becoming increasingly common due to climate change, are likely to continue degrading air quality.
Low-carbon scenario
To avoid this, the IPCC suggests a low-carbon emissions scenario, which would cause a small, short-term warming prior to temperature decreases.
A future world that follows this scenario would also benefit from reduced nitrogen and sulfur compounds from the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface, where they can damage ecosystems.
WMO stations around the world would monitor the response of air quality and ecosystem health to proposed future emissions reductions.
This could quantify the efficacy of the policies designed to limit climate change and improve air quality.
