Vanessa Bryant, viuda del basquetbolista Kobe Bryant, planea donar los 16 millones de dólares que recibió como indemnización por el juicio contra el Condado de Los Ángeles por los daños emocionales causados por las imágenes que varios de sus oficiales difundieron del siniestro del 26 de enero de 2020 que se cobró la vida de la estrella de la NBA, su hija Gianna y otras siete personas.
Según explicó Vanessa, citada por Los Angeles Times, el dinero irá destinado a la fundación Mamba & Mambacita Sports para “honrar el legado de Kobe y Gigi”.
La organización fue creada en 2016 con el nombre de Mamba Sports Foundation por el propio Kobe luego de su retiro, y cambió su nombre en 2020 para rendir homenaje tanto al jugador como a su hija fallecida. Tiene por objetivo brindar financiamiento y programas deportivos a atletas jóvenes en comunidades desatendidas.

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV
La farmacéutica estadounidense Moderna ha presentado una demanda contra las rivales Pfizer y BioNTech por violación de sus derechos de patente de la producción de la vacuna contra el COVID-19, anunció la empresa en un comunicado este viernes.
“Moderna considera que la vacuna de Pfizer y BioNTech contra el covid-19, Comirnaty, viola las patentes de Moderna presentados entre 2010 y 2016 y que cubren la tecnología ARN mensajero (ARNm) de Moderna. Esta tecnología innovadora fue fundamental para el desarrollo de la propia vacuna contra el covid-19 de ARNm de Moderna, Spikevax. Pfizer y BioNTech copiaron esta tecnología sin el permiso de Moderna para crear Comirnaty”, se dice en el comunicado.
Sin embargo, la compañía señala que, “al reconocer la necesidad de garantizar el acceso continuado a estas vacunas que salvan vidas”, no tiene la intención de conseguir retirar Comirnaty del mercado ni de solicitar una orden judicial para impedir sus ventas en el futuro.
Las demandas serán examinadas en el Tribunal de Distrito de EE.UU. para el estado de Massachusetts y en el Tribunal Regional de Dusseldorf, Alemania.

He is reminding members of the public that elderly persons and those with comorbidities continue to be the most vulnerable to COVID-19 and is requesting the public’s cooperation when it comes to mask-wearing and getting vaccinated around this vulnerable group especially.

Les élus planchent sur un projet – DR
Ils étaient nombreux autour de la table ce jeudi pour préparer le rendez-vous avec le président de la République Emmanuel Macron, programmé le 7 septembre et au delà l’avenir de la Guadeloupe.
Jeudi les élus guadeloupéens ont répondu à l’invitation du président du Département Guy losbar. Étaient présents le président de Région Ary Chalus, les sénateurs Victoire Jasmin, Victorin Lurel et Dominique Théophile ; les députés Olivier Serva, Max Mathiasin, Christian Baptiste et Élie Califer ; les conseillers départementaux Jules Otto et Jean-Philippe Courtois et le président de l’association des maires Jocelyn Sapotille. Ils ont débattu et échangé plusieurs heures sur les dossiers épineux qui gangrènent notre société guadeloupéenne. Pour rappel, le président de Région Ary Chalus a évoqué quelques uns de ces dossiers cette semaine avec son homologue de la Martinique Serge Létchimy qui a ensuite pris l’attache de la Guyane et des autres DROM. Toutes ces rencontres ont pour objectif de préparer la rencontre avec Emmanuel Macron et de présenter un projet bien ficelé pour chaque département et région d’Outre-mer. Les élus se sont concertés et ont donc fait des propositions sur un projet de développement mais aussi sur l’évolution de nos institutions qu’ils discuteront « en concertation avec la population ».

Honduran officials in Cayman to discuss trade and new consulate office Loop Cayman Islands
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass
A visiting Honduran delegation addressed a large gathering of residents last night (August 25, 2022) at Constitutional Hall in George Town. Included in the delegation were Mr Antonio Garc?a, Vice Chancellor of the Republic of Honduras (Consular and Immigration Affairs) and Mr Max Rodriguez, Advisor and Coordinator of the Office of the Undersecretary of Immigration Consular Affairs, who shared plans for the establishment of a Honduran consulate office in Cayman to process passports and identification documents for Hondurans working and living in Cayman. In addition, the Honduran officials touched on the topic of trade between Honduras and Cayman.
Consulate office
Speaking of the concerns raised by Hondurans living in Cayman, Mr Garcia said he knew that many Hondurans living in Cayman have expressed problems they are having with their expired passports and the cost and time it takes to travel to Honduras to have documents processed. According to Mr Garcia, the establishment of a Honduras consulate office in Cayman would help to resolve these issues.
The announcement was welcomed by Mrs Mercy Watler (a businesswoman who is Honduran by birth and who is married to Caymanian, Mr Julian Watler), who explained to Loop News the complexities of the official document renewal process in the absence of a Honduran consulate in Cayman.
[Without a Honduran consulate in Cayman], it would take me about a week to get things sorted out in Honduras. But, these days, I don’t have a week to spend overseas as I have a business here in Cayman. The other complication is that Honduran authorities require originals, including affidavits, which takes time to organise.
Mrs Watler shared.

By establishing a mobile consular agent or temporary consulate office (visiting periodically) or a permanent consulate office, Mr Garcia hopes to reduce the processing times, bureaucracy and expenses for Hondurans living in Cayman.
Trade
In addition to the creation of a Honduran consulate office in Cayman, Mr Garcia spoke of the possibility of trade between Honduras and the Cayman Islands. Mr Garcia indicated that, logically, direct trade makes sense after comparing this to the process of indirect trade that is currently in place.
In particular, Mr Garcia said:
Many products from Honduras go to Miami and then come to Cayman. [And] they tell me that a pineapple costs eight dollars in Cayman, but this only a few Lempiras in Honduras.
What Mr Garcia was drawing our attention to here is that, not only could direct trade reduce some of the importation cost and ultimate prices on Cayman shelves, but the products that we have on our shelves may have a longer shelf life, having avoided waiting times in the United States prior to shipment to Cayman. This is also the same point made by Minister of Agriculture, Jay Ebanks, who recently went on a fact-finding mission to Honduras to consider direct trade relations between Cayman and Honduras, the objective of which was all of the foregoing mentioned by Mr Garcia, plus Ebanks’ hope to reduce the high cost of living facing Cayman residents.
What’s next?
Mr Garcia noted that, while the discussions of the expansion of direct trade relations between Honduras and the Cayman Islands are ongoing, the next step for the establishment of a Honduran consulate in Cayman would be for a local committee (consisting of Kerry Bennett Rodriguez, Sophia Dixon Tatum, Mandy Mann Stewart, Marco Duarte Ezekiel, Bethy Sabillion Alvarenga and Emmanuel Escalante Alas) to gather names, identification and contact information for Hondurans working and living in Cayman. This information would, of course, be kept confidential and be subject to the normal requirements under Cayman’s Data Protection Act, which requires persons processing or otherwise using personal data to obtain the consent of those providing it.

16 teachers resign from Campion College Loop Jamaica
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News
The exodus of teachers from Jamaica’s classrooms, most notably for better pay and working conditions overseas, has not spared one of the country’s top schools.
Arguably Jamaica’s most sought-after high school, Campion College was hit with 16 resignations ahead of the new school term, which begins on September 5.
“I had 16 resignations and five people are on leave,” said Grace Baston, principal of Campion College, in response to questions from Loop News.
“Of the 16 resignations, nine went overseas,” Baston added.
She shared that the school has since filled all vacancies except for a lab technician post and that she is in the process of orienting 21 new members of staff.
While the focus of Jamaicans has been on the mass exodus of teachers, primarily to take up posts in the US, not all teachers are migrating.

Baston shared that she lost four of her teachers to Hillel Academy, an independent school, for better-paying jobs. She said, too, that three of her teachers left to continue their studies overseas without pay.
The Campion College principal also shared that some teachers, having developed a bond with the school and their students, are gutted when they feel they have no choice but to leave.
“I literally had teachers crying in my office as they explained their decision to go overseas,” she told Loop News.
Baston recounted what a young modern languages teacher told her: “Mrs Baston, I love it here and feel that I am being forced to choose between money and happiness.”
There has been a raging public debate over the last two weeks about the number of teachers leaving for overseas jobs and the reasons for the mass exodus, with the Opposition People’s National Party putting forward its proposal to stem teacher migration and the Government responding with its plan to address the fallout.
The Opposition’s proposal to stem mass exodus of teachers from Jamaica’s classrooms.
Inadequate remuneration, poor working conditions and the feeling of being disrespected by the authorities are the top three reasons being cited for educators exiting Jamaican classrooms to take up jobs elsewhere.
Reports are that up to seven agencies are in the country actively recruiting teachers to work overseas. The Ministry of Education had projected that up to 1,250 teachers could leave the classroom this year. Earlier this week, Minister of Education and Youth, Fayval Williams, said 167 teachers had resigned since July.
For its part, the 25,000-strong Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA) said the sector will be short 600 teachers when the new school year starts in just over a week.
The JTA said a survey of 140 schools found that 13 per cent of teachers who are not returning to the classroom have retired while 43 per cent have resigned and 44 per cent are on approved leave.
