From as far back as the island’s leading telecommunications provider, FLOW, has been operational, the organisation’s brand has been synonymous with youth development through its many successful outreach, scholarship and internship programmes.

Post-pandemic, where many corporate social responsibility initiatives had been halted, the internship programme is once again in full swing, hosting students from the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College studying in various fields.

FLOW’s Human Resource Manager, Shayla McIntyre, says the internship programme is just one small but very impactful element of the organisation’s corporate social responsibility agenda.

She believes it provides students the opportunity to learn from industry experts and develop an appreciation for a fast-paced, highly competitive, and demanding working environment.

“Though the programme’s participants are well positioned to benefit through personal development, this also grants the company an opportunity to identify talented and skilled individuals who FLOW may be able to recruit when career vacancies exist,” she commented and continued, “the number of current employees, both line staff and senior management, who are former participants of the programme, is indicative of its success.”

The students had the liberty of determining which departments across the organisation they would be assigned to for the duration of the internship, which better guarantees sustained interest and consistent performance.

Nathanial Mitchell, a Technology Student at the tertiary institution says, “I am extremely excited to continue this learning journey and believe it will better position me forgainful employment in the industry once I have completed schooling. I am really thankful for the opportunity.”

At an orientation ceremony held on June 1, 2022, the interns were welcomed by department leads and mentors for the duration of the programme.

They heard stories of the career journey of many of the leaders including their experience starting in the business as an intern.

They were also given an overview of the company’s operations as well as its policies and standards and had an opportunity to converse with current employees, asking questions and gaining insight on areas of interest.

The students will be evaluated at the end of the programme and will also be required to provide feedback on their experience in the form of a written report.

FLOW looks forward to providing more opportunities of this nature in the future.

Una británica se halla en estado crítico luego de ser alcanzada, el sábado pasado, por un rayo mientras se encontraba con su hija en la playa de Kasjuni, en la ciudad croata de Split, recogen medios locales.

De acuerdo con informes policiales, se recibió una petición de ayuda médica urgente para atender a una persona herida por el impacto de un rayo. Antes de la llegada de la ambulancia, la víctima de 48 años, cuya identidad no ha sido revelada, fue atendida por un médico que se encontraba en el lugar controlando a triatletas que participaban en una competencia.  

Posteriormente, la mujer fue traslada a un hospital. En la actualidad, se encuentra en la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Centro Hospitalario Clínico de Split. En una conferencia de prensa, Mileva Frankic, encargada del área, declaró que la mujer “sufrió un paro cardíaco debido a la caída de un rayo”, pero que “afortunadamente, la reanimación comenzó de inmediato en la playa y continuó en la ambulancia”.

La vida de la víctima está en riesgo

“Lamentablemente, su vida sigue en peligro”, sostuvo, y explicó que “además de los cambios en la piel que esperamos, varios órganos se vieron afectados por la descarga del rayo y el paro cardíaco”. “Todavía es demasiado pronto para hablar sobre las consecuencias y el resultado”, señaló.

Por su parte, un portavoz de la Oficina de Relaciones Exteriores, Commonwealth y Desarrollo del Reino Unido (FCDO, por sus siglas en inglés), citado por Daily Mail, precisó que están “brindando apoyo a la familia de una ciudadana británica en Croacia”, manteniendo el “contacto con las autoridades locales”.

La Policía de Split-Dalmacia aseguró que se llevará a cabo una investigación para determinar las causas del suceso. Según información extraoficial, el rayo impactó un collar que tenía puesto la mujer y esta sería la causa del suceso.

Una hipótesis anterior sostenía que fue alcanzada tras refugiarse de la lluvia debajo de un árbol, donde los servicios de emergencia la encontraron. No obstante, esta versión ha sido descartada.

Their foreheads nearly touching, Liverpool teammates James Milner and Virgil van Dijk exchanged furious words on the field. They pointed, gesticulated, looked utterly disgusted.

Liverpool had just fallen behind for the seventh straight Premier League and, amid the bedlam inside a reawakened Old Trafford, two of the team’s senior players were going after each other.

A sign that they care? Maybe.

To many people, though, that moment will be used to show all is not quite right inside Jurgen Klopp’s team.

The results bear that out, too.

It’s always dangerous to jump to early-season conclusions — only three rounds of games have been played, after all — but such have been the fine margins in Premier League title races in recent years that every point counts.

And Liverpool, already, have dropped seven of them after the 2-1 loss to Manchester United on Monday followed draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace.

The Premier League’s crisis club for the first two weeks was United. Now, much of the scrutiny will switch to Liverpool.

“The team is tight, we are a close unit but things need to be said sometimes,” Liverpool defender Andy Robertson said. “Things will get better. But we are far behind where we want to be.”

In all likelihood, Liverpool will pick up their first win of the season on Saturday against Bournemouth, a promoted team that have just shipped a total of seven goals in losses to Manchester City and Arsenal.

And it shouldn’t be forgotten that the loss to United was Liverpool’s first in the league in 2022.

Still, the first three games have highlighted some problems for the Reds.

INJURIES TAKING TOLL

Liverpool’s strength in depth has improved immeasurably in recent seasons but the glut of injuries afflicting the squad is a concern.

Klopp said he was down to “14, 15 senior players” for the United game with the following out injured: defenders Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip, midfielders Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita and Curtis Jones, and forward Diogo Jota. Meanwhile, Darwin N??ez, the new signing up front, was serving the first match of a three-game suspension.

So, it meant Liverpool were playing their fifth-choice forward (Roberto Firmino), their fourth-choice central defender (Joe Gomez) and a journeyman midfielder (James Milner). Klopp filled his bench with two back-up goalkeepers.

“I’m concerned about our situation,” Klopp said.

WEAKENED MIDFIELD

The midfield might be the biggest area of concern, even if Klopp maintains his options there are sufficient.

Without Thiago, Liverpool lack a player to run a game and deliver a killer ball. Fabinho, the Brazil anchorman, was dropped against United because of a middling start to the season. Jordan Henderson is a leader, sure, but rarely plays 90 minutes these days. Keita is hit and miss, yet to develop into the dynamic player Liverpool thought they were getting. Milner, at 36, has played the last two games despite being well past his best.

Liverpool’s failure to buy a midfielder in this transfer window and move on others looks to be a misjudgment, with Klopp perhaps having too much faith in players who have served him so well.

Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund might be the midfielder Liverpool are waiting to get next year. Maybe the Reds should have gone all out this summer.

STRUGGLING VAN DIJK

He was turned easily by Aleksandar Mitrovic and gave away a penalty in the opening-weekend draw at Fulham. He stood like a statue as Jadon Sancho lined up his shot to put United ahead on Monday.

That’s two more errors than Van Dijk usually makes in an entire season.

If the imposing Dutchman — the player who holds the defense together — is off the pace, it is bound to seep into the rest of the team.

Van Dijk hasn’t been helped by having to start alongside three different center-back partners already this season, in Matip, Nat Phillips and Gomez.

The Reds have conceded the first goal in all three games and now in nine of their last 10 competitive games. They need to be switched on earlier in games.

MISSING MANE

Sadio Mane was a mainstay in Liverpool’s attack for six years, a regular source of goals and the provider of so much energy and thrust that it helped his teammates around him. In the second half of last season, he mostly started as a center forward and was more prolific and important than Mohamed Salah.

He is sorely missed following his move to Bayern Munich, where he sought a new challenge. Luis Diaz is a fine replacement — Klopp called the Colombian “special” last week — but it’s asking a lot of him to have the same output as Mane.

With Firmino on the decline and the tall N??ez a very different type of striker, Liverpool have a remodeled attack that requires a whole new style of play. That may take time and, after such a poor start to the season, time is already something Liverpool doesn’t really have.
