La mort en direct d’un artiste, d’un pays

La magie des r?seaux sociaux, de l’Internet, des t?l?communications, le niveau d’?quipements des uns et des autres, tout ce univers permet ? ceux qui le peuvent d’?tre tr?s bien inform?s, en direct et de b?n?ficier presque du don d’ubiquit?.

Nous sommes de plus en plus partout en m?me temps et tous ? la fois.

Samedi 15 octobre, les Ha?tiens int?ress?s pouvaient suivre en direct le trajet des avions canadien et am?ricain en route pour venir livrer des ?quipements pour la Police nationale d’Ha?ti et les pr?paratifs du concert des retrouvailles du groupe Carimi ? Accor Arena, ? Paris.

Ici et dans toute la diaspora, informations, rumeurs et partages WhatsApp tiennent tout le monde au courant des m?mes fake news et des m?mes r?alit?s. Tout va vite.

Samedi 15 octobre, c’est en direct que beaucoup de compatriotes ont v?cu le triomphe de Carimi, le malaise de Michael Benjamin (Mikaben) et ont appris le d?c?s de ce dernier.

La mort en direct n’a jamais ?t? plus cruelle.

Ce m?me samedi, ? un autre rythme, chaque Ha?tien et chaque personne sur la terre int?ress?e au sort de ce pays ont pu suivre la d?gradation continue de la situation d’un pays en agonie.

Contrairement ? Mika qui a re?u les soins appropri?s, entour? de l’amour et de l’inqui?tude de ses amis et du public, on a l’impression croissante que ni les dirigeants, ni les opposants qui r?vent de pouvoir, ni la population et encore mois les amis d’Ha?ti ne comprennent l’urgence et la gravit? de la situation.

Un grand malheur guette Ha?ti. Un malheur aussi p?rilleux que celui qui a emport? Mikaben. Nous le vivons en direct. Et comme pour Michael Benjamin, on se demande si c’est vrai et vraiment vrai ce ? quoi on assiste.

La mort d’un pays en direct. La mort d’un artiste en direct. La mort dans les deux cas est tout, sauf un spectacle. C’est une grande trag?die.

Actor and rapper Kaalan Walker has been sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for his conviction for raping aspiring models he met online, authorities said.

Walker, 27, was sentenced Monday in Superior Court in Los Angeles following his April conviction on three counts of forcible rape, one count of assault to commit oral copulation, two counts of statutory rape, and two counts of rape by intoxication.

His lawyer, Andrew Flier, said the trial was unfair. He called the sentence “draconian” and said it would be appealed, NBC News reported.

Walker, whose rapper name is KR, played a gang member in the 2018 remake of the movie “Superfly” and also appeared in the 2017 film “Kings”, starring Halle Berry and Daniel Craig.

He was arrested in 2018 and charged with a series of assaults dating back to 2016 involving four women and three teenage girls.

Prosecutors said Walker used social media to contact aspiring models and offer them phony professional opportunities so they would meet him, then assaulted them.

Parents in the hot seat for children’s poor lunch choices Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

Parents are being called out as a guidance counsellor and a nutritionist critique trash choices students have for lunch while at school.

One guidance counsellor who is also a registered counselling psychologist Shaunt?e Walters said that students can only work with what they can afford when it comes to the canteen. “I think we need to not just look at psycho-education and teaching the students to make healthy lifestyle choices, but we also need to work at changing the choices….changing the choices that they have, the options when it comes to the canteens, when it comes to the vendors on the school compound, because if you’re hungry and you only have three or four things to choose from, you will choose three or four things.”

It comes down to the communities that they come from and the socioeconomic group

And she said that parents must take a significant portion of the blame for what students choose from the menu on the daily basis.

“It is quite difficult in the school setting to address what the students are eating given the fact that in a lot of cases the parents are the ones who are supplying what they are eating.

“So when we say to students when you go to the canteen or when you have to buy lunch you have to choose some of the healthier things, ‘You can’t just have chips and ketchup every day, chips and ketchup, chips and ketchup. You can’t have fried chicken for breakfast every day. It is not healthy.’

“Then they say, ‘But this is what I have’; ‘This is what is available at the canteen’; ‘Ths is what my mummy told me to buy’; or ‘This is what I have money to get’.”

However, she admitted that getting to a healthier place seems to be the goal and “a work in progress” but, “it will take some time.

“We’re not just changing the culture at the school, but we’re going to need to change the culture in the homes, in communities, in the fast food world, but if each of us puts our hands to the plough, I believe it can be done.”

Supporting this stance as well, as she spoke about some poor lunch choice differences and similarities between school-age girls and boys, Public Health Nutritionist Nicole Griffith added, “It comes down to the communities that they come from and the socioeconomic groups, and I know people don’t like to hear that but it is truthful.”

She said that children from the lower socioeconomic classes are not arriving at school with water, occasional fruit juice and packed lunches. Instead, they have money and it’s either enough or they pool funds together with other kids and then have to resort to the canteen options. “So then obviously the choices they may have to choose from are not always the best because they don’t have that many options to choose from.”

They were speaking on a panel discussion on Healthy Living as part of Education Month. It was conducted via Zoom.

3 Tropical waves being monitored off Barbados Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

The Barbados Meteorological Services is monitoring three tropical waves to the East of the island.

A tropical wave was initilized along 27W south of 15N moving west at 5-10 knots.

A tropical wave was analyzed along 39W south of 20N moving west at 5-10 knots.

A tropical wave was analyzed along 57W/ 58W south of 20N moving west around 5 knots.

The tropical wave currently along 57/58W will move across the region overnight, October 18 into October 19. Conditions will be occasionally cloudy with brief showers.

On Wednesday, October 19, the tropical wave will lose its signature as it exits the Eastern Caribbean. Light surface to low-level winds and diurnal heating will trigger some afternoon localized showers. Overnight, guidance is showing an increase in low-level moisture ahead of a broad low-level trough, with the axis east of the region.

Meanwhile, the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS/Met Office) has shared that the axis of the nearest tropical wave is expected to reach Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday morning, however, it is not expected to produce intense weather.

“This wave does not appear to be producing significant convective activity on a synoptic scale. Due to some associated low-level convergence, we can see a bit of moisture increase over Trinidad and Tobago,” the Met Office said.

The second tropical wave is in the central tropical Atlantic, the axis of which is estimated to be five to six days away. The third tropical wave is in the far eastern tropical Atlantic. These two waves pose no direct threat or influence on Trinidad’s weather at this time.

CayMAS Carnival limits T-shirt costumes on parade route Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

CayMAS Carnival is limiting the presence of T-shirt costumes on the parade route.

In a statement posted to social media, the organisation said while it is not banning T-shirts, a costume band cannot have a T-shirt section that comprises more than 30 per cent of the band’s total registered participants and only up to 175 shirts sold.

According to the terms and Conditions, solely T-Shirt Bands will no longer be permitted to register/participate with CayMAS Carnival.

A fine of $5,000 and/or the removal from the parade, will be enforced with any financial losses placed on the band for incompliance with the Costume Policies of CayMAS Carnival.

The organisers said this is necessary to satisfy the demands of spectators who prefer colourful costumes of which they can take pictures.

“We have created a product that can compete with the top Carnivals within the region as a true Carnival Tourism Destination since inception and look to stride to higher levels and institute superior standards within CayMAS Carnival,” the organisers said in the statement.

“We have taken another step towards this by implementing a very thought-out Terms and Conditions plan. In this Plan, the main point to note is the removal of full T-shirt Bands as participants in future CayMAS Carnivals.”

They said carnival is first and foremost about the colours, vibrancy and flair of costumes and feathers and spectators and the majority of participants want to see costumes showcased on the Parade route.

They said while spectators appreciate T-shirt sections as a part of the experience, they have expressed that it removes from the carnival masquerade experience because they want to see what bands are bringing for that specific year in costumes and to be able to take pictures with masqueraders in costume.

“CayMAS Carnival is aiming to create a delicate balance between the expectations of our Bands and masqueraders, and our spectators and sponsors when it comes to the presentation of our Carnival parade. We look forward in continuing to create a Carnival full of colourful, vibrant, beautiful Carnival costumes with lots of feathers and other creative backpacks, attracting more and more Carnival travellers to our shores for many CayMAS Carnivals to come.”
