Extractions: for Intelligence OVERVIEW Cocaine Couriers generally transport smaller quantities of cocaine on commercial flights from the Caribbean to the United States. Couriers conceal multikilogram quantities of cocaine on themselves or in their luggage. Also, couriers can smuggle up to a kilogram of cocaine by ingesting it. Caribbean drug trafficking groups primarily are involved in drug transportation and money laundering. The trend of Colombian drug trafficking organizations to pay Caribbean transportation groups with cocaine has led to increased distribution and consumption of cocaine in the Caribbean. Heroin Compared to cocaine, reports of heroin movement in the Caribbean are limited. Generally, heroin is not consumed in the Caribbean, but is rather transshipped from Colombia to Puerto Rico or the continental United States. All but a small fraction of the heroin transiting the Caribbean originates in Colombia. Couriers generally transport kilogram quantities of Colombia-produced heroin on commercial flights from South America to Puerto Rico or the continental United States. Couriers conceal the heroin on themselves, in their luggage, or internally. These drug couriers sometimes make one or two stops on various Caribbean islands to conceal their point of origin.

Extractions: The French Army provides us with the first examples of IGs in Western culture. In 1668, an inspector general of infantry and an inspector general of cavalry were appointed, with the principal duties of reviewing the troops and reporting to the king. Louis XIV expanded the system to include geographical inspectors. They examined everything within their sphere of influence. Soon, military inspection became an essential aspect of all modern armies. The U.S. Army Inspector General System was born during the Revolutionary War. The Continental Army, when formed in 1775, was a disorganized array of militia from different states, with no uniformity in organizations, procedures, drills, appearance, or equipment. The Continental Army's leadership was not comparable to the good, solid officer leadership of the British Army, and General Washington was not satisfied with the training and readiness of his diversified forces. By the time of the American Revolution, the appointment of inspectors, at least in functional areas, was an established routine in European armies. The tactics of the day, volley fire and massed bayonet charges, required stern discipline and extensive drill and training. It followed that commanders needed a close look at the units and their readiness.

Vegetation cover ranges from desert to forested mountains to subtropical lowlands. The Caribbean is a broad geographic area that extends south and east of the Gulf of Mexico, and includes islands such as Cuba and Puerto Rico, a string of islands along a plate boundary called the Antilles (the West Indies reached by Columbus), and islands off the northern shores of South America. The Bahamas are generally included in this group. A view from space (mosaic) shows the eastern and southern Caribbean.

Extractions: Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies THE COMMONWEALTH CARIBBEAN is the term applied to the English- speaking islands in the Carribbean and the mainland nations of Belize (formerly British Honduras) and Guyana (formerly British Guiana) that once constituted the Caribbean portion of the British Empire. This volume examines only the islands of the Commonwealth Caribbean, which are Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Windward Islands (Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada), Barbados, the Leeward Islands (Antigua and Barbuda, St. Christopher [hereafter, St. Kitts] and Nevis, the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, and Montserrat), and the so-called Northern Islands (the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and Caicos Islands). To the casual observer, these islands might appear to be too disparate to allow for a common discussion. Consider, for instance, the differences in population, size, income, ethnic composition, and political status among the various islands. Anguilla's 7,000 residents live on an island totaling 91 square kilometers, whereas Jamaica has a population of 2.3 million and a territory of nearly 11,000 square kilometers. The per capita gross domestic product (GDPsee Glossary) of the Cayman Islands is nearly fourteen times as large as that of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Trinidad and Tobago's population is evenly divided between blacks and East Indians, a pattern quite different from that on the other islands, on which blacks constitute an overwhelming majority. Although most of the islands are independent nations, five (the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and Caicos Islands) remain British dependencies.
Extractions: Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies Political experience emerged directly from the difficult growth of labor organizations throughout the Caribbean. Trade unionization derived from the plethora of mutual aid and benevolent societies that existed from the period of slavery among the Afro-Caribbean population. Not having the vote or a representative in power, the lower classes used these societies for their mutual social and economic assistance. To obtain political leverage, the working and employed classes had only two recourses: the general strike and the riot. Beginning after World War II and lasting until the late 1960s, a sort of honeymoon existed between the political parties and the labor unions. Expanding domestic economies allowed substantial concessions of benefits to workers, whose real wages increased significantly as unionization flourished.

Frequently Asked Questions | CDC Malaria Taiwan, Singapore, and all of the caribbean islands (except Hispaniola). Some Pacific islands have no malaria because Anopheles mosquitoes are not found http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/faq.htm
Extractions: Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite. Patients with malaria typically are very sick with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. Four kinds of malaria parasites can infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae Infection with any of the malaria species can make a person feel very ill; infection with P. falciparum , if not promptly treated, may be fatal. Although malaria can be a fatal disease, illness and death from malaria are largely preventable. to top Is malaria a common disease? Yes. The World Health Organization estimates that each year 300-500 million cases of malaria occur and more than 1 million people die of malaria.
