Talking Health In 5: How to nurture your child’s spiritual health
NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!
Pointing out that spiritual health is one of the four major tenets of health, Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Saphire Longmore says it has almost become a forgotten focus of health care.
The other major tenets are physical health, which is what generally comes to mind for people; mental health, the importance of which, she said, is getting more recognition; and social health.
Dr Longmore, who is the President of the Jamaica Psychiatric Association, said the spiritual health of children is critical. She was speaking to Loop News ahead of the association’s annual conference on Sunday, which will be held under the theme Save our Children, Save our Country.
Spiritual health, according to the consultant psychiatrist, refers to that sense of self, which she described as a natural human tendency to seek a sense of purpose and belonging.
Watch this week’s Talking Health in 5 as Dr Longmore shares tips on nurturing good spiritual health development in children, which can lead to them encouraging it in those around them

Fernandez received a proclamation of honor from James Larocca when he attended a series of events in New York recently.
Both Fernandez and Larocca were able to speak about several initiatives over breakfast and prospects for the twin-island nation, including future collaboration.
“I was surprised by this honor. This is to show that we have managed to interact very positively with the Mayor of Sag Habor. When we had discussions, I told him that the success we had in handling Covid 19 was led by Prime Minister Gaston Browne and he also decided to award the PM as well,” Fernandez told antigua.news.
Fernandez was awarded for his distinguished service to Antigua and Barbuda in his profession as a politician.

There’s been not much movement on intentions or suggestions by the European Union (EU) to phase out the Citizenship by Investment Programs (CIP) in the Caribbean.
Last year, the EU Parliament voted, to ask the Commission to formulate a strategy to eventually request that CBI programs be removed in Antigua and Barbuda and the other countries like Dominica and St Kitts and Nevis and all other countries allowing citizenship by investment.
So, these countries could be given an ultimatum by the EU, to end their Citizenship by Investment Program or face visa restrictions.But Nuri Katz , the President for Apex Capital Partners; a licensed agent throughout the world for CIP said since the announcement, the EU has not made any official request.
“They have not made an official request really, there have been internal discussions within the EU about making that request but they have not done it. The EU is very complicated and things take a long time to go through their bureaucracy,” Katz said.
When the EU signaled its intentions, to make a request to phase out the CIP, Prime Minister Gaston Browne was among the first Caribbean leader to speak out against the move.
In fact, he wrote officially to the EU asking that they rethink the position, proving evidence that Antigua and Barbuda probably hold the most robust due diligence process before citizenship can be granted.
“There are contacts between all the Caribbean countries and Europe I think those discussions should continue. More energy should be put into it. There are a lot of discussions going on a hopefully they will bear fruit. At the end of the day I believe they are actually going to make the CIP better.
The CIP expert said further that the EU just needs to be satisfied that the due diligence process is solid and robust and “if they satisfied then I think this issue will be settled”, Katz added.
In 2014, when Antigua and Barbuda first entered into the CIP initiative, it reeled in a whopping $200 Million during its first year of operation. According to reports, on an average, the country yields about 100M every year.
All this comes as a group of concerned leaders in the global investment migration industry remains convinced that if CIP’s are phased of, the economy in Antigua and Barbuda and other countries could collapse.
The group which consists of a CIP representative from each country said a meeting should be held with the EU to “explain to the European Commission the depth of global due diligence performed on all applicants, including using the services of international due diligence firms as well as various national and international law enforcement agencies,”
Stéphane Tajick, a leading investment migration researcher and industry stakeholder, the meeting should consist of “officials of the European Commission, including the CIP governments, due diligence agencies, as well as members of the legal, banking and financial services communities of the CIP countries, in addition to a dialogue with the EU parliamentarians to address their concerns”.

Antigua and Barbuda and the other members of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) are set to soon benefit from a project aimed at strengthening the sub region’s microfinance ecosystem.
The project – a partnership between the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission (ECSRC) – is meant to improve the availability of funding to Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs), and to establish equity-based crowdfunding in the Eastern Caribbean.
Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising money – usually over the internet – from a large number of people who each contribute a relatively small amount.
Equity-based crowdfunding, which is being pursued under this project, allows prospective investors to offer funding to businesses in exchange for shares or an equity stake in these businesses.
According to the CDB, the project is being driven by the needs observed in the sector, with access to finance – particularly in the wake of Covid-19 – still a major impediment to growth for Caribbean MSMEs.
In the first phase, capacity-building sessions will be administered by the ECSRC, starting next month.
The project will also deliver a Crowdfunding Policy Framework, developed by the ECSRC, and a prototype for testing and finetuning.
The 18-month-long project will be funded by the CDB, implemented by the ECSRC, and will culminate with a viable crowdfunding platform being established in the ECCU member countries by 2023.

El presidente del Colegio de Médicos Cirujanos de Puerto Rico, Dr. Carlos Díaz, afirmó en RADIO ISLA que “es sentido común” que alguien haya fallecido a causa de los constantes apagones que han ocurrido.
Carlos Díaz expuso que los pacientes cuyas vidas dependen de equipos electrónicos y del servicio eléctrico, se les complica el cuadro clínico cuando se va la luz. “Eventualmente, van a desarrollar sus condiciones y van a fallecer”, manifestó Díaz.
“Es anticipable. Es sentido común. Si hay un sistema eléctrico que está 14 a 16 horas en esas seriedades (sin luz), tiene que alguien morir”, expresó el Dr. Díaz.
Sus expresiones surgen luego de la manifestación en contra de LUMA Energy, la empresa que se encarga del sistema de distribución y transmisión de energía, ocurrida ayer en el Viejo San Juan.

According to a release from the Force, acting on information received, a party of police ranks conducted a cordon and search exercise at Kuru Kururu Village Soesdyke/Linden Highway and several houses were searched for suspects involved in the robberies.
At the home of one of the suspects, one Guyana Defence Force (GDF) camouflage shirt was found in a haversack and when asked he claimed he got it from a relative.
The suspect was also ID’d as one of the perpetrators who committed the robbery on Fordyce which occurred at Hillfoot, Soesdyke on August 22.
He subsequently led the ranks to the home of a 26-year-old labourer also of Kuru Kururu, who was found hiding in a suitcase under his parents’ bed.
A search was conducted on the said premises and one camouflage bulletproof vest containing an armoured plate was found in his bedroom.

He is also suspected to be the accomplice in Tenesha Fordyce’s robbery at Hillfoot Soesdyke.
