Orientation internationale

Ses fans ont, en tout cas, accueilli la nouvelle avec une grande joie et beaucoup d’attente sur ses futurs projets et titres à venir.  

« Le retour de la patronne !!! », s’enthousiasme Kendrick. « De retour plus forte que jamais, on ne s’attendait pas à cette bombe, tu portes les Antilles loin », se réjouit une autre fan.

« J’ai pris mon temps pour les choisir (Ndlr : Universal) mais je sais que ça va être efficace en tout cas », commente Méryl, dans sa vidéo.

 

 

En signant ce contrat de co-édition avec Universal Publishing France, l’artiste compte bien, en effet, développer ses propres compositions mais aussi celle de ses propres artistes réunis au sein de Maison Caviar. Ce rapprochement est à la fois un pont entre les Antilles et la France mais aussi, une manière d’orienter tous les futurs projets à l’international. 

En interne, on promet déjà de belles choses.

Route du Rhum: les premiers Ultims entrent sans encombre dans le port de Saint-Malo

Les Ultims dernière génération, plus grands bateaux engagés sur la Route du Rhum, ont pénétré pour la première fois mardi soir dans le port de Saint-Malo par une écluse étroite au terme d’une manoeuvre délicate, devant plus de 2.000 personnes captivées.

“C’est passé tout juste”, s’exclame, soulagée, Valérie, 57 ans, regardant s’éloigner l’immense trimaran de son “chouchou” François Gabart, dont les bords frôlent les murs de l’écluse qui le sépare du grand bassin du port de Saint-Malo.

Pour la première fois, plusieurs Ultims dernière génération, gigantesques trimarans de 32 mètres de long et 23 mètres de large, ont pénétré dans le port de la cité corsaire.

Ce dernier n’est accessible qu’en traversant l’écluse du Naye, 150 mètres de long pour seulement 25 mètres de large, au prix d’une manoeuvre complexe: en comptant les pare-battages protégeant les bateaux des chocs, il ne reste que 50 centimètres de marge de chaque côté.

Le passage de ces géants des mers implique donc une organisation millimétrée, calibrée en fonction des marées et de la météo, les Ultims et leur mât d’une trentaine de mètres devenant difficilement manoeuvrables par des vents supérieurs à 15 noeuds (28 km/h), selon Thomas de La Broise, commandant de port-adjoint à Saint-Malo.

Après avoir été positionnés dans l’axe de l’écluse à l’aide d’un ponton, profitant d’un faible vent, les bateaux sont tirés à la main à l’aide de cordages, sous le regard attentif de plusieurs lamaneurs, spécialistes du passage des écluses.

Pour ce premier passage, la tension est montée d’un cran dans la foule massée dans des gradins montés pour l’occasion. Celle-ci a retenu son souffle en silence lors de cette manoeuvre spectaculaire avant de laisser éclater ses applaudissements.

“T’es le meilleur”, lance Valérie au navigateur François Gabart, qui attend, tout sourire, le remplissage de l’écluse, au centre de son Ultim SVR-Lazartigues bleu foncé et jaune fluo, au design futuriste.

Plus grands bateaux engagés sur la Route du Rhum, les Ultims sont aussi les plus rapides: ils sont capables de pointes à plus de 80 km/h en mer, et certains valent une vingtaine de millions d’euros.

Les derniers Ultims – huit sont engagés au total cette année – devaient pénétrer dans le port de Saint-Malo un peu plus tard dans la soirée… avant de reproduire l’opération à l’identique mais dans le sens opposé deux jours avant le départ, programmé le 6 novembre, pour prendre le large.

CHARLESTOWN NEVIS, October 24, 2022 (NIA) – Premier of Nevis, Hon. Mark Brantley was pleased to have had the opportunity to engage directly with youth leaders on Nevis in critical dialogue, during the recently held Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Youth Forum.

Thirty-seven participants from 28 youth groups and associations from across the island attended the October 20, 2022 event, where they engaged in interactive discussion with the Premier and NIA Cabinet Ministers Deputy Premier Hon. Alexis Jeffers, Hon. Eric Evelyn and Hon. Spencer Brand.

“I was very, very impressed with the turn-out and with the level of dialogue and discussion with the youth leaders of Nevis, the individuals who were there, and had an opportunity to participate for about four hours. I think it went extremely well.

“The youth leaders helped us to understand the challenges and help us understand what we can do better in terms of our youth, the areas of interest, and we have committed to working with them and to ensuring that we arrange next year a large-scale symposium for our youth as we try to position them at the very top of our developmental agenda,” said Premier Brantley.

Ms. Latoya Jones, Special Adviser in the Office of the Premier, organized the forum. During the opening remarks she said the forum was designed to get young persons involved in the government’s decision-making process and to provide an avenue for networking among the groups.

“The Nevis Island Administration Youth Forum seeks to create an opportunity to encourage youth participation and to give our youth a voice. Our youth can present their ideas, issues and concerns directly to our leaders…The forum also provides an avenue for our leaders to give an insight into existing youth programs and to shed some light on future programs that would be beneficial for our youth,” she said.

Represented at the forum were religious groups, sports clubs, music, political, health and wellness, community, and humanitarian groups.

Each Government Minister outlined some of the programs and initiatives offered in their various ministries. They also highlighted some of the areas where employment opportunities exist within the public service. The youths were encouraged to take advantage of scholarships on offer and also to use their creativity and become entrepreneurs.

Windscreen wiper shot and killed in St Andrew, identified Loop Jamaica

The windscreen wiper, who was shot and killed by gunmen in the vicinity of Constant Spring Road and Dunrobin Avenue, St Andrew, on Tuesday has been identified.

He is Mourace Smith, a 33-year-old resident of Payne Land, Kingston.

Reports are that at about 10:30 am, two men on a motorcycle opened fire hitting Smith as he plied his trade, and then drove off from the location.

The injured man was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The shooting caused a major build-up of traffic along the mentioned roadways.

Members of the county’s Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch (PSTEB) earlier this year said they have intensified their efforts to clamp down on owners of motorcycles, who have been using them to commit a number of breaches while traveling on the road.

Police sources said the motorcycle is one of the forms of transportation popularly used by criminals when they are traveling to commit their crimes.

Lionel Messi key as always for Argentina at World Cup Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

Ageing but still one of the best players on the planet, Lionel Messi will lead Argentina in his fifth — and possibly — last World Cup.

And with him, Argentina certainly has a chance to win its third title.

“I don’t know whether we are big favourites or not, but I believe Argentina is always a favourite for its history, what it means and even more now for how we got here,” the 35-year-old Messi said in a recent interview.

Messi helped the South American country end its 28-year title drought when Argentina won the Copa America in 2021. It was Messi’s first major title for the national team.

The team has also set a national record by going unbeaten in 35 straight matches.

Argentina will play it’s opening match in Qatar in Group C against Saudi Arabia on November 22. The team will face Mexico four days later and then take on Poland on November 30.

The architectFew believed Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni would succeed after he took over four years ago with little experience on the job. He had coached youth teams in Mallorca, where he lives, and was an assistant to Jorge Sampaoli at Sevilla, and later at Argentina.

But under Scaloni, Argentina finally won a title again and, in June, broke its unbeaten streak record with a 3-0 win over European champion Italy at Wembley Stadium.

Scaloni brought in new talent, including goalkeeper Emiliano Mart?nez, defender Cristian Romero and midfielders Leandro Paredes and Rodrigo De Paul. He also rallied Messi and veterans Nicol?s Otamendi and ?ngel Di Mar?a around him.

The 44-year-old coach broke away from the days of “Messi-dependence”. The team is solid on both ends of the field and hasn’t trailed in a match since the beginning of 2020.

“Today there’s no team dominating 70-80 per cent of a match… There’s moments in which you have to fall back, work, feel that you are at a hard time,” Scaloni said. “The good thing about this team is that it knows how to suffer.”

The starWinning the World Cup remains the focus for Messi, and winning it this year would serve as a tribute to soccer great Diego Maradona, who died in 2020 at the age of 60.

“For a while I have enjoyed the national team. I had spectacular moments, but we did not win, we lost three finals in a row and the criticism began,” Messi said in a recent interview, in a reference to the losses in 2014 World Cup and 2015 and 2016 Copa America finals. “It was key to win something with the national team, otherwise I would be labelled by the losses in the finals.”

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will play alongside de Paul, Paredes and Giovanni Lo Celso — who earlier in their careers played in Messi’s position. That setting should free Messi from the responsibility of creating plays and put him closer to the penalty box.

Messi is the national team’s top scorer with 90 goals in 165 matches. He has scored 25 during Scaloni’s tenure.

DoubtsSome frequent starters have not been at their best, including de Paul at Atletico Madrid. Romero and Di Mar?a are often injured. Messi doesn’t play every match with Paris Saint-Germain, a change from his best days at Barcelona.

If Messi and Lautaro Mart?nez get injured or fail to produce on the field, Argentina will have to rely on Di Mar?a, Paulo Dybala and Nicol?s Gonz?lez for goals.___By DEBORA REY

Jamaicans urged to manage their oral health Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

A call has been made for more persons to manage their oral health by regular visits to dental professionals.

Making the call, Chief Dental Officer in the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Dr. Irving McKenzie, said bad oral health practices can lead to dementia and other illnesses while doing what is right enhances the mental health and happiness of individuals.

“Our oral health is integrally related to our general health and well-being,” he said, at the recent media launch for National Oral Health Month (October), held at the Ministry’s New Kingston offices.

Dr McKenzie argued that the mouth is used for all that is good, and care must be taken of it.

He outlined that the Ministry is partnering with the New Testament Church of God, Swallowfield Chapel and other faith-based and community organisations, to provide “significant” services and materials to community members, and to promote oral health.

President of the Jamaica Association of Public Dental Surgeons, Dr. Vanessa Kiffin, said it is important that everyone “take charge” of their oral health for “improved health outcomes and beautiful smiles”.

She said that throughout the month, intensified efforts are being made to educate and promote good oral health practices, focusing on school children and persons in deep rural communities.

For his part, President of the Jamaica Dental Association, Dr Ajani Blake, said his group is supporting the activities to “demonstrate how good oral health is an indicator for good overall health”.

He underscored that coming together is in the “spirit of service to reduce healthcare disparity throughout our nation, and to those among us who are in need”.

The month-long activities are being observed under the theme ‘Be Proud of Your Mouth and take care of your Oral Health, for your General Health and Happiness’.

For the first time, October 2 was declared ‘Oral Health Professionals Day’ in Jamaica, by Governor-General, His Excellency the Most Hon. Sir Patrick Allen.

Special emphasis has been placed on Oral Health Month 2022 by the World Health Organization (WHO), due to its strong linkage with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and chronic illnesses, as most oral diseases and conditions share similar modifiable risk factors, with the leading ones being cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.

Nearly 600 to benefit from mammograms paid for by JN Loop Jamaica

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

Some 600 women in Jamaica now have an opportunity to get screened for breast cancer courtesy of the JN Group, which experienced an oversubscription of its offer to finance mammograms for 500 women aged 40 and over, within less than a week.

The offer formed part of the group’s fifth renewal of its Power of Pink campaign, this year held under the theme ‘Take the Steps’, to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The campaign is targeted at educating Jamaicans and raising funds for cancer research and support for persons affected by the disease. In addition, Jamaican women were given the opportunity to sign up for a free mammogram via the JN Group website; or persons could nominate women over the age of 40 for screening.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer among women in Jamaica and screening for early detection can be unaffordable to many who may have to fork out as much as $9,000 in private facilities. Care is cheaper in public facilities, but mammography machines are only situated at the country’s three type 1 hospitals: The University Hospital of the West Indies, the Kingston Public Hospital, both in the Corporate Area and the Cornwall Regional Hospital in St James. The distance for women who do not live in these parishes makes access limited.

Saniah Spencer, an executive for marketing at the JN Group said the organisation, which has had a long and productive partnership with the Jamaica Cancer Society, said the overwhelming response to the offer is confirmation that more women are aware of the importance of early detection, but that many need help to “take the step.”

“We are very happy to know that we will be able to help so many Jamaican women with taking one of the steps to know where they stand with breast cancer. And, I use the word ‘step’ because the second step under our Power of Pink ‘Take the Steps’ campaign is to get checked, in other words, get a mammogram done as an early detection can significantly increase one’s chance of survival,” she explained.

She said The JN Group is aware that the cost to get a mammogram can be relatively expensive for many women, and in the quest to help save lives, the organisation saw it fit to offer this solution for a second year.

Speaking on an episode of the JN Group breast cancer awareness YouTube series, Keeping Abreast of Your Health, Dr Andre Williams, oncologist, said the main objective is to try and detect cancer early, and, therefore, women should get their mammograms done annually, once they reach the age of 40.

“The whole principle behind that is if you can detect it early, then you reduce the likelihood that it would be caught at a time when treatment is more involved, harder to achieve, expensive and more devastating to the woman. We really want to be able to identify breast cancer in women as early as possible in their lives,” Dr Williams said.

Acting executive director of the Jamaica Cancer Society (JCS), Michael Leslie, while speaking at The JN Group Power Pink Pop-Up Session outside the JN Bank Half Way Tree branch recently, noted that although women over 40 are more at risk of the disease, he encouraged women under 40 to do frequent breast self-examinations at home, indicating that the data has been showing an increase in the number of younger women developing breast cancer.

Leslie noted that 1,208 new breast cancer cases were diagnosed in 2020, which was an increase of more than 25 per cent when compared to 2018. Of the 1,208 cases, there was an estimated 637 breast cancer deaths, which Leslie referred to as “alarming statistics.”

“Jamaica’s breast cancer rates are actually worsening over the years. Sixty-seven out of every 100,000 women have breast cancer, and it is predicted that one out of every 21 women in Jamaica will develop breast cancer in her lifetime,” he disclosed.

The JCS provides subsidised mammography services, and mammograms can also be done at privately-owned institutions across the country.
