West Indies top New Zealand in 3rd T20, avoid series sweep Loop Jamaica

Brandon King and Shamarh Brooks shared a 102-run opening partnership as the West Indies struck a winning formula at last, beating New Zealand by eight wickets in the third Twenty20 international on Sunday to prevent a sweep of the three-match series.
After making the bold decision to rest captain Nicholas Pooran, the hosts also played more than one spinner for the first time in the series and their bowlers flourished on a slow pitch at Sabina Park in Kingston.
New Zealand made only 145 for seven after winning the toss, falling well short of their 185 for five in the first match and 215 for five in the second.

The West Indies reached their target with an over to spare, as stand-in captain Rovman Powell hit Jimmy Neesham for six to clinch the win and leave the series 2-1 in New Zealand’s favour.
Left-armer Akeal Hosein, playing for the first time in the series, took two for 28 while right-arm fast bowler Odean Smith took a career-best three for 29 and Dominic Drakes, also appearing for the first time, took one for 19 from four overs.
King, who missed the first two matches of the series with injury, provided impetus for the run chase by taking 53 runs from 35 balls.
Brooks carried his bat throughout the innings, finishing on 56 while Powell hurried the end by striking 27 from 15 balls.
“It was very special being able to do this at home in front of everybody,” King said. “The support is incredible, my family is here and I’m happy to be able to deliver. I think consistency is the key. When you’re an opening batsman you try to give your team a good start.
“Today credit has to be given to the bowlers. They did an excellent job for us and made my job that much easier.”
New Zealand failed to replicate their performances of the first two victories when they made strong starts and built partnerships around Kane Williamson who made 47 in the first match and Glenn Phillips who made 76 in the second.
On Sunday, Hosein came on in only the third over and immediately knocked over Martin Guptill (15) to leave New Zealand 18 for one.
Devon Conway (21), Mitchell Santner (13) and Kane Williamson (24) all made starts but struggled to impart momentum to the innings. That task fell again to Phillips who made 41 from 26 balls and was Man of the Series.
Phillips needed to bat through but was out at a critical stage when New Zealand was 125 for five in the 17th over. New Zealand made big finishes in the first two matches, putting on 64 in the last five overs of the first two matches but managing only 39 in the last five overs this time.

The West Indies innings stood in complete contrast with the opening partnership between King and Brooks occupying 13.1 overs and making the result a foregone conclusion.
King reached his half century from 30 balls and Brooks hung around to anchor the innings, posting his 50 from 52 deliveries.
“The West Indies adapted to the conditions nicely,” Williamson said. “With the bat we felt if we could get another 15 or so we could get a bit of momentum but they were able to take wickets throughout an execute their plans beautifully.
“They did the same thing with the bat and we couldn’t open up an end with the ball. We knew that with 140 things would have to go well for us with the ball and they outplayed us today.”
The teams meet in the first of three one-day internationals on Wednesday.

Le Baccha festival qui débute ce samedi 13 août à la Pointe Faula, au Vauclin, est une grosse machine. Tour d’horizon en chiffres.
Après deux années d’absence, la production du Baccha festival met les bouchées doubles pour cette 7e édition. Le site de 25 000 m2 accueillera 15 000 festivaliers par jour, de 12 heures à minuit.
Pour cette édition d’envergure, les producteurs du Baccha Festival ont engagé les moyens nécessaires au confort et à l’optimisation de l’expérience des festivaliers. De leurs côtés, ils sollicitent un effort des festivaliers en termes de bonnes pratiques pour une édition réussie.
Ce week-end, pour une sécurité optimale, 160 agents seront mobilisés. 400 professionnels constitueront l’équipe du festival. 200 bénévoles des associations Dousinn’, My Kartel et Hommes et Territoires seront mobilisés.
Du côté des prestations musicales, 2 scènes accueilleront les 40 artistes et DJs, ce qui équivaut à plus de 300 m2 d’espace scénique.
50 000 gobelets et 40 000 flûtes à champagne réutilisables ont été commandés afin que chaque festivalier puisse consommer, tout en limitant sa production de déchets.
Les festivaliers auront accès à un réseau internet optimisé pour l’occasion. En 2019, plus d’un terra de données mobiles ont été échangées au cours des 2 journées.
Pour un festival de bon augure, la collaboration des festivaliers est également de mise. Pour cela, la production a établi les commandements du festivalier. Des recommandations qui incitent les festivaliers à arriver tôt afin de fluidifier l’accès au site, et à covoiturer afin de limiter les engorgements de véhicules.

Small Business: Orville Richardson- art and new starts in Windsor Park Loop Cayman Islands
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass
Every week, half way up on Oakmill Street in Windsor Park, residents and drivers passing through the area can stop by Orville Richardson for some fish, mangoes, starfruit, breadfruit, scallion, broccoli, watermelon, papaya and other produce.
Richardson, who offers his produce seven days per week from the front of his home, says that he pursued the business idea not for himself, but to teach his pre-teen son about business. In fact, this is the second business venture that Richardson is doing with his son, the first being lemonade sales in a much smaller setup.
When asked about the top selling items from his stall, Richardson said that the saltfish and breadfruit were among the favourites in the neighbourhood. For these treats, you can either wait while he cooks the fish and breadfruit or you can return later for pickup.
In addition to fish, Richardson said that he cooks jerk chicken from time-to-time, however, the amount he jerks varies depending on the customer demand.
As to how the entrepreneur manages to find the time outside business hours to source the produce that is not grown in his yard, Richardson said he has some contacts with farmers and other people who grow fruit and who are willing to offer him a selection of what they have from time-to-time.
Other produce at the stand
The entrepreneur, a quiet, humble, unassuming but talented man, is also an artist. One of his well-known works in the Windsor Park community is his participation in painting the basketball court, vivid colours of which one can best see from a high flying drone above. In addition to this, he has done at least one public exhibition as an artist, having displayed his artwork at a local business in George Town.
If you would like to learn more about Richardson’s art or his business, you can visit his page on Instagram where he uses the handle “orvillerichardson.”

Arsenio Johnson, a retail support officer employed to National Commercial Bank (NCB), was granted bail last week relative to a multi-million fraud case involving the bank.
The 37-year-old man appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on charges of larceny as a servant and breaches of the Proceeds of Crime Act and the Cybercrimes Act.
In addition to being granted bail in the sum of $1 million, the parish court judge ordered that Johnson should surrender his travel documents and report to the police twice per week.
A stop order was also imposed at all ports of entry for him.
Johnson is to return to court on October 21, 2022.
Reports from detectives assigned to the Fraud Squad are that about 4pm on Wednesday, July 13, Johnson was arrested following investigative leads.
Based on preliminary investigations, $5.8 million has been established as having been defrauded.
However, an audit is being conducted to ascertain the exact amount that was involved.
Johnson was interviewed in the presence of his attorney, after which the charges were laid.

Crean una córnea de bioingeniería hecha de piel de cerdo que podría devolver la vista a millones de personas
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV
Se estima que 12,7 millones de personas en el mundo padecen de ceguera debido a problemas relacionados con sus córneas, pero solo uno de cada 70 pacientes tiene posibilidades de recibir un trasplante, ya que el procedimiento suele ser costoso.
Ante este panorama, un equipo internacional de investigadores ha desarrollado una córnea protésica de bajo costo, elaborada con proteína de colágeno de piel de cerdo. Durante un estudio piloto, el implante devolvió la visión a 20 personas con córneas dañadas, la mayoría de las cuales eran ciegas antes de someterse al procedimiento.
Según detallan los expertos, para crear el implante fue necesario estabilizar las moléculas de colágeno sueltas, obteniendo de este proceso un material robusto y transparente lo suficientemente maleable y resistente para ser manipulado e implantado sin deformarse.
Al ser un subproducto de la industria cárnica, la piel de cerdo utilizada como materia prima es de fácil acceso y bajo coste, por lo que, de producirse en masa, sería accesible para miles de personas de bajos recursos que requieren una nueva córnea. Además, señalan los académicos, estas pueden almacenarse hasta por 2 años, garantizando su disponibilidad en cualquier momento.
Nuevos implantes sin sutura
Del mismo modo, los investigadores desarrollaron un novedoso y poco invasivo procedimiento de trasplante. Actualmente, el tejido dañado es retirado quirúrgicamente y el implantado se cose al ojo para fijarlo. En contraste, su metodología no requiere de suturas, ya que la incisión en el globo ocular se realiza con gran precisión gracias al uso de un láser de última generación.
“Un método menos invasivo podría utilizarse en más hospitales, con lo que se ayudaría a más personas. Con nuestro método, el cirujano no necesita extraer el tejido del propio paciente. En su lugar, se realiza una pequeña incisión, a través de la cual se inserta el implante en la córnea existente”, explicó Neil Lagali, coautor del estudio.
“Los resultados demuestran que es posible desarrollar un biomaterial que cumpla todos los criterios para ser utilizado como implante humano, que pueda producirse en masa y almacenarse hasta 2 años y, de este modo, llegar a más personas con problemas de visión”, comentó Lagali.
Según señalan los autores de la investigación, publicada este jueves en la revista Nature Biotechnology, los resultados obtenidos hasta ahora han sido prometedores, por lo que se espera que su prótesis pueda ser la cura para miles de personas que padecen ceguera corneal y baja visión, quienes ya no dependerán de donantes ni de costosos procesos.
