November 30, Barbados’ Independence Day, will now be observed as Barbados National Day.

Minister of Home Affairs, Wilfred Abrahams announced the major change today during a press conference at Ilaro Court on celebrations for November.

“The Cabinet of Barbados took the decision to henceforth observe November 30 as Barbados National Day commemorating our independence from Britain in 1966 and our transition to parliamentary republic in 2021,” said Minister Abrahams.

Throughout the month, the island will be a hive of activity with a myriad of events including sports, culture and heritage activities.

The Home Affairs Minister stated that the National Events Calendar will be released later this week, however, he noted that the National Independence Festival for Creative Arts (NIFCA) and Spirit of the Nation will be back in full swing.

Abrahams also disclosed that for the first time, a Toast to the Nation Reception, hosted by President Dame the Most Honourable Sandra Mason at State House will be held to honour new national awardees.

The inaugural Barbados National Day Ceremonial Parade will take place on November 30 at 8 am at Kensington Oval. Uniformed groups will march from the Oval to the National Heroes Square where they will salute the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.

The festivities will culminate with the first Barbados National Day Concert to be held in the capital, Bridgetown.

T-18… Qatar will be the center of attention, as the greatest show on earth will be held for the first time in the Middle East region.

It would be the second FIFA World Cup to be hosted by the Asian continent, after the 2002 championship which was held in Japan and South Korea.

Denmark managed to advance to the Round of 16 in 2002 but were eliminated by England 3-0.

Progressing from the group stage never seems to be an issue for the Danes, for, they have only failed to move on from the preliminaries once in their five previous appearances, and that was in South Africa 2010.

Since their first World Cup appearance in 1986, where they finish top of Group E, after wins over West Germany, Uruguay and Scotland, the Danes then bowed out at the first knockout stage, something they continued in 2002 and 2018.

In fact, the only time they have made it beyond the Round of 16, is in 1998 when they reached the quarterfinals versus Brazil and were defeated 3-2.

An encouraging 2022 World Cup Qualifying campaign, along with a fourth-place finish at last year’s European Championship, and with the imminent end of a golden generation, Denmark will be looking to do all they can, to go beyond where they have never been.

Country: Denmark

Capital: Copenhagen

Population: 5.8 million

Confederation: UEFA (Europe)

Group: D

Professional League: Danish Superliga

World Cup appearances: 6 (2022)

Qualification status: Winners of group F

Key players: Kasper Schmeichel (Nice, France), Simon Kjaer (AC Milan, Italy), Christian Eriksen (Manchester United, England), Christian Norgaard (Brentford, England), Thomas Delaney (Sevilla, Spain)

Coach: Kasper Kjulmand (Danish)

Group mates: Australia, France, Tunisia

Prediction: The Danes are expected to advance to the next round of competition, maybe even as group winners, if they are consistent in their performances.

The University of the West Indies (UWI) Blackbirds flew into the finals of the Barbados Football Association (BFA) Women’s Super League Cup competition last Saturday evening at the BFA Wildey Turf.

UWI outplayed and outscored the youthful RF Prime 4-1, to earn a place in the November 12 final.

The Blackbirds’ opponents in the final will be Fitts Village Football Club (FVFC) Femini, who overcame a nervous penalty shootout to defeat Kickstart Rush Genesis 4-3.

On Saturday evening, the Cave Hill ladies displayed their experience and technical superiority on their way to a comfortable victory.

Rianna Cyrus sent UWI into the lead in the 25th minute, but that lead was short lived as Kerisha Catlyn leveled the score a minute later.

Cyrus restored UWI’s lead in the 28th minute and it would remain this way until the interval.

Shanice Stevenson came to the party in the second half and scored twice to seal the victory for the UWI ladies.

Stevenson’s first goal came with a bit of fortune, as RF Prime goalkeeper Christina Wharton mishandled a timid free kick from the national midfielder, and the ball trickled over the line in the 45th minute.

UWI’s fourth goal came with the final kick of the game, when Stevenson was granted too much time and space to unleash a powerful right footed shot from 35 yards.

Regular time nor extra time could not separate FVFC Femini and Kickstart Rush Genesis, so the dreaded penalty shootout was the decision-maker.

FVFC players were more clinical and were rewarded with a place in the final, after scoring four of their five spot kicks, while Kickstart Rush Genesis converted three.

Digneron: D’un coup, 1 700 Ha?tiens perdent leur gagne-pain

Il y a plus de sept semaines que le carburant n’est plus distribu? dans les stations de services et dans les entreprises commerciales. Certaines entreprises comme Digneron Manufacturing ont ?puis? leur r?serve de carburant pensant que la crise n’allait pas autant perdurer. C’est ce qui pousse cette derni?re ? fermer ses portes temporairement.

<>, ?crit Alain Villard, le directeur g?n?ral de cette entreprise dans la lettre adress? en date du 28 octobre 2022 ? Guerline Jean Louis, la directrice du travail au MAST.

Malheureusement, poursuit le responsable, l’espoir d’une am?lioration de la situation s?curitaire pouvant faciliter le d?douanement des mati?res premi?res et l’approvisionnement en carburant parait de plus en plus improbable et incertain. C’est ce qui justifie la mise en disponibilit?, sans solde, de ses employ?s, conform?ment ? l’article 32 du Code du travail.

Rappelant que c’est pour la deuxi?me fois en huit mois que cette entreprise a d? fermer ses portes ? cause de l’ins?curit? et ses cons?quences. <>, a appris le journal.

Croix-des-Bouquets, la zone o? se trouve le parc industriel, est l’une des zones dangereuses du pays. Des gangs dictent leurs lois en toute impunit?. En plus de ne pas pouvoir s’approvisionner en carburant et en mati?res premi?res, un container de l’entreprise a ?t? d?tourn?. Cette commune est un lieu o? les gangs arm?s s’affrontent r?guli?rement plombant encore plus les activit?s ?conomiques dans cette partie du pays.

Digneron Manufacturing n’est, par ailleurs, pas la seule entreprise ? avoir ?t? contrainte de fermer ses portes. D’autres plus r?silientes adoptent des horaires diff?rents, mettent une partie de leurs employ?s en disponibilit? avec ou sans solde et r?duisent les salaires.

C’est le cas du Groupe Boulos composant de Delimart, d’Universal Motors et d’Auto Plaza qui a annonc? des mesures similaires.

Ce groupe d’entreprises auquel fait partie Digneron Manufacturing dit esp?rer la reprise totale des activit?s afin de continuer ? desservir leurs clients respectifs et contribuer ? am?liorer les conditions de vies des couches les plus vuln?rables du pays, en particulier leurs employ?s directs.

All Saints man faces multiple charges on money-related offences in both the St. John’s and All Saints Magistrates Courts

REAL NEWS- An All Saints man has been arrested and charged for defrauding several people of thousands of dollars over the period of one year.

On Monday, October 31, he appeared before Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh in the St. John’s Magistrates Court, facing multiple charges of obtaining money by false pretense and fraudulent conversion.

These offences reportedly took place at various locations across the island –some in District A and the others in District B of the court’s jurisdictions.

The 41-year-old man is alleged to have written cheques, knowing that he did not have enough funds in his account to cover them.

A source says he is alleged to have defrauded about six different people this year alone. These offences reportedly occurred in January, May, June, and July, with the last incident taking place on October 25.

The man was remanded to St. John’s Police Station on Monday, as his lawyer, Michael Archibald – who did not request bail in the lower court – was seeking to make an application before a High Court judge.

However, as Archibald reportedly was going through this process, the Police again arrested and slapped his client with two additional charges of fraudulent conversion and intent to defraud.

The Police are alleging that, with intent to defraud, the All Saints villager issued a Caribbean Union Bank cheque in the amount of $20,000 to a woman – while being aware that the funds on his account were not sufficient to honor the cheque.

This offence reportedly occurred on August 16, 2021, in St. John’s.

The second offence of these two recent charges – which occurred in St. John’s between February 23 and March 1, 2021 – is fraudulent conversion.

Reportedly, the accused is said to have fraudulently converted for his own use and benefit the sum of $14,000 entrusted to him by the same woman for the purchase of two containers.

For these two offences he was again taken before Chief Magistrate Walsh, on Wednesday, November 2, at which time he was remanded to His Majesty’s Prison – instead of the police station – as his lawyer continues to seek an audience before a judge to get him bail.

Meanwhile, the accused is still to appear before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel-Edwards at the All Saints Magistrates Court to answer to the charges in District B.

Magistrate Emanuel-Edwards is currently on leave.
