The untimely loss of David, one of the finest young minds we have produced, has served to remind us of the need to remain focused as a scholarly community in the face of reactionary adversity and doubt about the value of our role. David was undoubtedly a symbol of achievement within the alumni community, but he was more, much more. He was an advocate of the values of human rights, social equality, and democratic freedom. These are the values that have informed the mission of our university and which we have promoted and defended vigorously. No other framework of purpose will suffice within a civilisation still scarred by a past known primarily for its social injustices and endemic violations of human rights. The search for a socially meaningful freedom within the communities we serve should therefore be intensified in the aftermath of David’s departure.

Speaking to the media recently at a press briefing regarding the new traffic lights at the Westmoreland junction, Minister Hinkson also used the time to encourage Barbadians to be prepared for the hurricane season. “The reality is that we are very far from the height of the season and that Barbadians and residents must remain vigilant as to what can happen and nothing beats preparation,” stated Hinkson. The minister highlighted that for the first time, Barbados would be preparing for the season in the midst of a global pandemic. He explained that the current administration, through the National Advisory Committee, has been making preparations for the hurricane season and the committee has met five times over the last six weeks. “We would have met with social welfare, whose responsibility it is to ensure that people are protected socially, the most vulnerable. We have been involved with the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure that there will be food supplies to each area of Barbados in the event that any district in Barbados is cut off and that there would be sufficient food channelled to that area,” explained the minister. Hinkson also mentioned meetings with the Housing Ministry where stronger arrangements were made for the supply of building material, if there is a need for swift repairs for the houses of any residents impacted.

  • The History of Political Independence and Its Future
    The Time of Sovereignty: The History of Political Independence and its Future Dr. Richard Drayton Monday, November 28, 2016 Frank Collymore Hall Tom Adams Financial Centre It is a great honour, pleasure and privilege to give the Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture of the Central Bank of Barbados. It is particularly moving to me to look out at this crowd of 500 and see so many people I have known for over forty years, and in particular so many of the elders who formed me. I am conscious that my predecessors include such senior figures in the history of economics as Ernst Schumacher and the Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and such deans of Caribbean intellectual life as Rex Nettleford and Gordon Rohlehr. I am particularly humbled, as a Barbadian, to give this 41st Lecture as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the independence of Barbados. (Clearly, Rihanna was unavailable). I came to this island from Guyana only as a boy of 8. So it was not from hazard of birth but mature choice that I joined you in citizenship. I take no second place to the birth right Bajan in my love for this rock in which my roots are tangled with yours for all time. Our 50th anniversary is a joyful occasion. It is at the same time as a sobering one, when one reflects on the generations of ancestors, living and dying under conditions of the most extraordinary inhumanity, who made our presence today possible. If this Golden Jubilee celebration has any meaning, we need to remember why we sought political sovereignty.

Ideally, they are an opponent Asian champions Qatar would be expected to beat on any given day. But as Qatar found out on Tuesday, when you are not at your best, no team can be taken lightly. The hosts had a forgetta- ble night in their opening match against Iraq, going down 1-2 to a second string side. The loss to Lions of Mesopotamia has fi rmly put the pressure on Felix Sanchez’s men. In a short tournament like Gulf Cup, a defeat in the very fi rst match can have a severe impact. Sanchez, though, will hope that it was just a minor blip for a side who have been impressive for the most of 2019. The maiden Asian Cup win in the UAE at the beginning of the year announced their arrival on the big stage, while another gutsy show in the Copa Amer- ica against the South American teams showed Sanchez’s men can stand up to big guns.
