The second is the way in which we raise our young....At this point in history, we... have developed a pattern in which these two centrally human activities are placed in conflict with each other....At the present time, less by decision than by default, we are allowing our families, and our children, to pay the price Ufie Bronfenbrenner (1981) This quotation from the well-known child psychologist Bronfenbrenner was cited as the introduction to a proposal from the Government of St. Kitts-Nevis to USAID in 1981, a proposal to fund a joint project of the Ministry of Education's Early Childhood Unit and the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation, based in Ypsilanti, Michigan. This was almost a dozen years before High/Scope gained worldwide attention with its Perry Preschool longitudinal study research which followed up a group of at-risk inner-city children enrolled in a quality preschool experience 27 years later. The results of that study have been instrumental over the past 6 or 7 years in convincing major funders like the World Bank, USAID, and the Inter American Development Bank, as well as many governments, to up their investments in early childhood interventions in anticipation of the potential accrued benefits.
Challenges To The Plant Health System In St Kitts And Nevis st kitts and Nevis as the rest of the region have experienced the st kitts and Nevis has a long history of natural enemy introductions for pest http://www.uwichill.edu.bb/bnccde/sk&n/conference/papers/LDMcComie.html
Extractions: Increased production of high-valued non-traditional crops such as tropical fruits and vegetables and the development of a viable tourism sector have impacted on trade in agricultural produce in St Kitts and Nevis. Local produce is exported to earn foreign exchange and various commodities are imported regularly to satisfy overall consumption demands. Trade involving the movement of plant material is conducted in a liberalized environment with certain attendant risks, particularly that of accidental introduction of exotic plant pests and diseases. Within the last ten to fifteen years, St Kitts and Nevis as the rest of the region have experienced the introduction of a number of new pests and diseases of economic importance. Pest introductions probably far exceeded diseases because of the ease with which insects can be concealed and transported on plant material. Pest introductions included the palm thrips Thrips palmi

Extractions: Michael S.L. Jarrett introduction meetings eligibility ... the silver club BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN SHIPPING ASSOCIATION By Michael S. L. Jarrett The need to establish an effective, broad-based Association to monitor, discuss and share information in support of the growth and development of shipping in the Caribbean was accepted in the 1960s when shipping interests realized that there was much to learn and emulate from the initiatives and strategies employed in neighbouring Caribbean territories to solve similar problems. Specifically, the revolutionary achievements by the Shipping Association of Jamaica (SAJ) in successfully negotiating with hostile unions for the mechanization of the Port of Kingston started a process where port interests across the Caribbean met to exchange ideas. Trinidad, Barbados and Bermuda were experiencing similar problems with their trade unions and delegations from the national shipping associations of these countries visited Jamaica within a short time of each other to discuss and learn from the achievements of the Shipping Association of Jamaica. These discussions forged a relationship between these national associations and in 1969 representatives from five national associations met in Port of Spain for an informal meeting to discuss labour contracts, labour practices and other problems affecting the shipping industry. The meeting was so useful, the group decided to meet again in six months.
Extractions: The first inhabitants of Nevis were almost certainly pre-ceramic Indians called Sibonay. They are believed to have arrived on the island of Nevis around 2,100 years ago from Central America. This said however, their place of origin is uncertain and all that remains of this race on Nevis are some primitive tools made of stone and shell. These Indians were followed by the Arawak Indians who originated from the Orinoco River area in Venezuela. Next on the list of visitors to Nevis were the Carib Indians. They arrived several centuries after the Arawak but came from the same general vicinity of South America. The Arawak and Carib left far more remains than did the Sibonay and at the present time there are two dozen known archaeological sites scattered around the island. These sites are marked with piles of shells, pieces of pottery, and old flint tools. Sometimes after a good downpour even human remains will become unearthed! Most scientists believe that at the height of the Indian population, about 600 AD that there were between 2,500 to 6,000 Indians on Nevis. Western History of Nevis - Christopher Columbus, while on his second voyage, was the first western person to lay eyes on Nevis. While anchoring off Nevis on November 11, 1493, Columbus mistakenly thought that the cloud cover that often shrouds Nevis' peak, was snow. The Spanish word for snow is "Nieves", hence today's corrupt form of the word, Nevis. Not long after this, the name appeared on many of the days sailing maps, as a result of this, the name remains with us today. Strangely enough Columbus never ventured ashore. What a pity, he didn't know what he was missing!

Extractions: The top sports stories of 2002 BY DEAN GREENAWAY BVI sportsmen and women enjoyed another successful year in 2002. The BVI hosted regional events including the Busta Cup; Leeward Islands Jr. Track and Field Championships and the inaugural OECS Relays. Basketball was the only team sport playing in regional competition when they participated in the Caricom tournament. Track and Field athletes competed in the CAC Jr. Championships; Jr. World Championships; Commonwealth Games and CAC Games. Eric Mathias and Dion Crabbe won gold medals at the CAC Jr. Championships and CAC Games respectively. Following is a sport by sport synopsis of the year. The 2002 BVI Volleyball Association championships came to a grinding halt after Terminators and Te-Sito were thrown out of the league. Association president Karl 'Dub' Scatliffe said when the controversy boiled over, he was at the Belle Vue Gym before deciding to referee in the Summer Xplosion Tournament. "I made it clear that whatever was to happen had already happened and I didn't see the need to be there arguing for no reason. One team didn't show up, the other won by forfeiture. The next move was to play the other teams. Everything was settled at that time, so we had to do what we had to do."

Extractions: In 1629, the Spanish raided both colonies, but departed again and the settlers returned. Both colonies on St. Christopher, as the French called it, or St. Kitts, thrived and rivalled with each other, becoming the base for the settlement of neighbouring islands (English settlements : Nevis Antigua Montserrat 1632), later also for raids of enemy settlements on neighbouring islands. In the Second Anglo-Dutch War 1665-1667, France declared for the Netherlands; the French settlers on St. Vincent occupied the British parts of the island. The Treaty of Breda restored it to England. In 1689 ( War of the Grand Alliance ) the English sector was occupied by the French a second time, the English plantations devastated. An English expedition under General Codrington forced the surrender of the French settlers; 1800 of them were transported off to Martinique. The Treaty of Rijswijk 1697 restored prewar conditions. In 1705 ( War of Spanish Succession ) the French again devastated the English possessions on the island. In 1713 (Treaty of Utrecht), France ceded it's share of the island to the United Kingdom. French-owned estates were sold off by auction. In 1782 the French invaded again (War of American Independence), 1000 defenders surrendered to 8,000 invaders, and in 1783 France finally ceded it's claim to the island. BASSETERRE, founded by the French in 1727, now became the seat of administration. In 1671, St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Barbuda and Montserrat were joined to form the LEEWARD CARIBBEE ISLANDS GOVERNMENT.

Extractions: Take a walk down the streets of Fredericksburg or through the country lanes of Stafford and Spotsylvania on any quiet day and know that you move in the shadow of hundreds of years of black history and achievement. People to Know: John DeBaptiste He served as a sailor on board Fielding Lewis' ship, The Dragon, which patrolled the Rappahannock River and parts of the Chesapeake Bay during the Revolutionary War. The Dragon was built in Fredericksburg in 1777. She had the distinction of having more African-Americans serve on her than any other ship during that time period. John DeBaptiste, a native of St. Kitts, served on The Dragon which later saw action in the Chesapeake Bay. He was later prominent in local business, owning much property and running the ferry at Falmouth. He is buried in the Falmouth Cemetery. His son, George DeBaptiste, later served in the War of 1812.
Extractions: At the time of European discovery, the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis were inhabited by Carib Indians. Christopher Columbus landed on the larger island in 1493 on his second voyage and named it after St. Christopher, his patron saint. Columbus also discovered Nevis on his second voyage, reportedly calling it Nevis because of its resemblance to a snowcapped mountain (in Spanish, nuestra senora de las nieves or our lady of the snows). European colonization did not begin until 1623-24, when first English, then French colonists arrived on St. Christopher's island, whose name the English shortened to St. Kitt's island. As the first English colony in the Caribbean, St. Kitts served as a base for further colonization in the region.

NEWS FROM THE CMH Despite its title, the Metropolitan Catastrophes: Scenarios, Experiences and Commemorations in the Era of Total War (12-13 July 2004) conference was a great success. Organised by our Leverhulme Postdoctoral Fellow, Stefan Goebel, it attracted a large, distinguished international audience and stimulated much discussion on the cultural impact of war on metropolises worldwide. Many also enjoyed the wartime delicacies of spam, corned beef hash and rissoles at the conference reception - with thanks to Irene Gilchrist for producing such a splendid spread. It is hoped to publish a selection of the papers in due course. Sadly, Stefan is leaving the Centre this month to take up a Lectureship at the University of Kent. We wish him all the best for the next stage of his career and hope that he will continue to stay in contact with the CMH. Thank you to everyone who completed the user survey on London's Past Online (LPOL). It provided some very useful comments which will be used to inform funding bids for stage 2 of the project. It was gratifying to see that 94% of users rated the site as either 'good', 'very good' or 'excellent'. As the first phase nears completion (30 September), there are currently some 40,000 bibliographical records available online. If funding applications are successful, priority will be given to expanding the coverage of archaeological, local and specialised material.

In 1949, the Pan American Sanitary Organization and the World Health Organization agreed that the Pan American Sanitary Bureau would serve as the Regional Office of the World Health Organization for the Americas. In 1950, the Pan American Sanitary Organization was recognized as a fully autonomous and specialized inter-American organization. Thus, the Organization became a component of both the United Nations and the inter-American systems. The XV Pan American Sanitary Conference (San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1958) changed the name of the Pan American Sanitary Organization to the Pan American Health Organization. The name of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau remained unchanged.
