Parents of autistic kids are true super-heroes in my eyes, and my respect and support will never diminish. We as a country need to step-up to the needs of these very special people, this is one of the indicators of social maturity.
The US visa application process is certainly overtime going to respond to our economic, social and security profile as a country. We are presently in a economic and social condition that would suggest that the numbers of applicants applying for visas with the intent of not returning home would be on...
I reside in the area and applaud the investment disposition of the owners of the POT. Unfortunately, the proximity of that particular business to traffic risks means patrons and users of the southern main road would have to exercise extreme caution if you wish to partake of the services offered. I h...
Predictions about a wetter than normal dry season seem to have badly missed the mark. I now look forward to WASA starting to bawl and scream about depleted water levels in our dams. I hope my observation blights the dry season thus far and causes some rain to fall at least to favour the lawn and pla...
This event if it hits us seriously may very well restrict income generating possibilities, recreational activities and even many folks ability in seaside communities to have a pleasant easter season. Tobago windward side, the last time this was bad was a total mess with clean-up activities severely ...
DIC protection limit is$125,000 and when a major bank collapses, one wonders what happens with major accounts which generally are the back bone of financial institutions (which include pension and other retirement funds). Central bank regulatory and surveillance is extremely important to keep financ...
The quality of "THE MASS" may very well cause the death of this creative icon one of these years. I have a image of this gentleman and creatives like him lying in bed carnival monday and tuesday with a blanket over their heads praying for the parades to end.
The reluctance by any country to purchase our refinery is quite understandable and communicating this can appear quite unfriendly. We are the ones who informed the ineffiencies and financial negatives associated with the PAP refinery and to market same given this back drop is a stretch. Maybe effort...
The high court process dealing with matters of this nature includes direct communication of dates and deadlines on a continuous basis to both sides. The loss or misplacement of file(s) is nothing new and attorneys regularly seek the courts approvals for extensions etc. to mount a proper defence as m...
The TTPS like any other organisations cannot effectively fulfill its mission if there is no quality stable leadership. The instability at the top would create the operational and administrative gaps which account for opportunities for increased criminal activity. This is really an elementary princip...
The president of our twin island republic has no executive powers and is really there to 'rubber stamp' or be available to show up at parades.. On the other hand the holder of the office becomes the target of all kinds of negative comments and performance assessments. The only upside is the fact tha...
The need to create more efficiencies and cost adjustments to our electricity comsumption profile is not a new acknowledged condition to all and sundry . The question about adjustments that is really fuelling the public angst is more about who bears the burden and why now when most individuals are fa...
A simple low-tech hidden kill switch which only stops the power feed to fuel pump is still the way to go. You must however accept that the switch may one day fail and probably configure a simple by-pass solution.
Unfortunately, the covid19 virus with its most recent mutations seems to be gathering a lot of momentum locally and globally. I am going to do all that I can to avoid crowds and any events where citizens may be operating by throwing caution to the wind. I hope others exercise due care and attention ...
I sincerely wish my fellow citizens a better year this 2023. There is no question that we will all face some serious challenges, but feel confident that those of us who seriously demonstrate good financial and social prudence may withstand what is on the horizon. Lets manage the things we can and in...
T&T will in 2023 experience negative global and domestic pressures which has created grave difficulties for even the wealthiest of nations. Unfortunately, the burden falls on each citizen to act prudently and follow a well defined financial plan, dependence on the state has proven to be misplace...
Every murder diminishes the 'soul' of the nation and quickens our desent into social despair and emotional confusion. The feelings of unease, disgust,anger and loss of purpose which we feel is fostered by the environment in which we exist. I pray we can dig ourselves out of the hole we are in.
The discomfort and pain that comes with frigid conditions is really horrible. I remember ear, nose and finger pains and nose bleed when outside with back and neck pains after a full day of heavy clothing. Getting out of a warm bed in the morning to face the day is a whole different story. BTW, Flori...
There are many things in this COE which makes a expectation for neutrality to seem absent. The tragic circumstances and the loss of lives has overwhelmingly lead to a 'human' need to have someone or some entity 'guilty' of maybe manslaughter and I can't help but wonder if this human desire wouldn't ...
Our history of squatting in various parts of T&T which includes Bamboo, Shanty Town and many other areas is indicative of the many social and economic circumstances we have experienced overtime. What still remains somewhat unresolved is the 'state' clear responsibility as far as the various comm...
On seeing the army engineering division every year parading all their equipment and capability for Independence, I always wonder why we dont see them in action when citizens and their property are in great peril. Maybe, their existence is a national security secret and thus we should not be informed...
The rain has been falling incessantly in Mc Bean, Couva for some hours now. My immediate area appears to be handling run off well but I can well imagine other places in the area may well have some serious issues soon.Everything now is about ground saturation and sea tides. The fear and pain many cit...
The USA desire to police FIFA has always seemed peculiar to me. At the end of the day all concerned are way above 'my pay grade'. When Trump come back Jack probably will get amnesty.
