Brief administrative history The International Sanitary Bureau, precursor of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, was established by the First General International Sanitary Convention of the American Republics held in Washington, DC., in 1902. The Bureau, "according to the resolutions adopted", consisted of a board of seven health officials, residing in five countries, who were assigned the responsibility for the receipt and distribution of information on health conditions in the American Republics and to formulate sanitary agreements and regulations so that quarantine requirements would be reduced to a minimum in respect of cholera, yellow fever, bubonic plaque, smallpox and "any other serious pestilential outbreak". These functions and responsibilities were adopted both by the Second Conference of American States (1901) and by the First General International Sanitary Convention. Five other international sanitary conferences held in the Americas between 1902 and 1920 approved resolutions to the effect that the Bureau would undertake the investigation of outbreaks of communicable diseases, the facilitation of commerce through the improvement of sanitary conditions in the sea-ports of the American Republics, through sewage disposal, drainage of the soil, and the destruction of mosquitoes and other vermin. However, resources available at the time in terms of staff, office space, travel and other expenses were not appropriate to allow compliance with these Conference resolutions.

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.

The F-111 Aardvark was used in Operation Eldorado Canyon, the 1986 attack on Libya in retaliation for Muammar Qaddafi's sponsorship of international terrorism that included a bombing at a Berlin disco that killed U.S. servicemen. Pave Tack is a laser designator pod used with selected F-4E, RF-4C, and F-111 aircraft for precision navigation, target location and target designation. It was used on four F-111s that destroyed targets in Libya in 1986. Aerial view of the Pacora River Bridge from the north. This January 4,1990 photograph shows the site where a team from the U.S. 7th Special Forces Group ambushed a Panamanian Defense Force convoy moving towards Panama City from Fort Cimarron to oppose the parachute assaults. The Lockheed AC-130H has participated in many notable combat operations since the end of the Vietnam War including the attempted rescue of the crew of the USS Mayaguez in 1975, the Grenada operation in October 1983, Operation Just Cause in Panama (1989-1990), Operation Desert Storm in Iraq (1991), Operation Restore Hope in Somalia (1993-1994), and Operation Deliberate Force in Bosnia (1995). On January 31, 1991, the first AC-130H was lost in combat supporting coalition forces engaged in ground combat during the battle of Khafji in Operation Desert Storm. A second aircraft supporting operations in Somalia was lost on March 15, 1994 when its 105-mm cannon exploded while the aircraft was airborne. Regional Military Actions A much-feared World War III never came to pass in the 20th century. In fact, the Cold War ended in 1989 with the thud of the falling Berlin Wall and the colossal statues of Lenin rather than with nuclear bombs. Instead, many regional wars broke out both during and after the Cold War, caused by centuries of ethnic and religious conflict that had been held in check by colonization and occupation. There were military operations overseen by supranational organizations, such as the United Nations or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which enforced treaties or helped with humanitarian activities. The world looked to the United States, as one of the two superpowers, to lead the way in these conflicts, a position that did not always make it happy.

Barbados Barbados History and Government History: Little is known of the early history of Barbados – it was probably occupied by Arawak Indians from South America up until the arrival of the Spanish, in the region in the early-16th century. The earliest European arrivals were the Portuguese - also in the early-16th century - although the British established the first settlements in 1627. Barbados was declared a British colony in 1663. Slaves were brought to the island from Africa, to work on the sugar plantations until the abolition of slavery in the mid-19th century. Barbados joined the West Indies Federation in 1958 and was granted internal self-government three years later. Full independence within the British Commonwealth was achieved in 1966. Politics on the island have since been dominated by the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) – formed by Grantley Adams in 1937 – and the rival Democratic Labour Party (DLP), which began life after a split in the BLP. The two parties have alternated between government and opposition since independence. The DLP’s most recent term of office ended in 1994, after eight years in charge. Since then, the BLP has been pre-eminent. At the most recent general election, held in 2003, the BLP won 23 out of the 30 House of Assembly seats. Government: The British monarch is Head of State and is represented in Barbados by a Governor General who is advised by the Cabinet and appoints the Prime Minister. The legislature comprises the Governor General, a 21-member Senate and the 28-strong House of Assembly, members of which are elected by universal adult suffrage for terms of up to five years.

The Garrison, St. Michael, Barbados. Tel: (246) 426-5373  Fax: 429-8483 History In the 1960s at a time when the impact of development activities on Caribbean environments was beginning to be visible, intrusive and troublesome, a number of groups and individuals concerned with the conservation of the region's natural resources and cultural heritage, conceived the idea for the formation of a conservation group for the Caribbean region. With support from Laurence Rockefeller, who in the 1950's had purchased two-thirds of St. John (to the US Virgin Islands) and donated it for establishment of a National Park, a regional survey on conservation problems was carried out by Dr Carl Carlozzi of the University of Massachusetts. One of the first organizations to take concrete action to address on a regional basis the environmental problems brought by development, was the research wing of the then College of the Virgin Islands the Caribbean Research Institute. Established in October 1965, one of the CRI's first significant projects was the joint sponsorship of the Eastern Caribbean Conservation Conference on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands along with the American Conservation Association, headed by Mr Rockefeller, and the Government of the U.S.V.I. The conference focused on the Carlozzi findings and was titled "Conservation in the Eastern Caribbean." It generated a sequence of activities throughout the region relating to conservation programmes and environmental activities. Particularly it recognized the need for international planning and cooperation in meeting the conservation requirements of the region and concluded its deliberations by recommending the establishment of a regional body to help meet these needs.

Executive The earliest record of the existence of any police service in Grenada dates back to the year 1853; when Policing was a part-time occupation and the magistrate's of the major towns were given charge of the police for that district. In the Colonial Government took over Fort George and established it as the headquarters for the Police and the Militia. The fort was named Fort Royal when constructed in , but was later changed to Fort George. The Police were then given arms and the authority to administer their own affairs and it was at that time the modern Police Force began to take shape. The flagpole, which stands high above the fort, was erected in The first record of enlistment into the service was that of 3rd class constable James B Williams. A native of Nevis, he was enlisted on the 13th September In Andrew James and Taylor Williams were enlisted into the service; between the years and 1913 there were sixty-one enlistments.

We have among us Educational practitioners from 13 different countries; and more than ten regional organizations and donor agencies represented. I am also pleased to welcome each of you to Spice Country, and trust that you will have some time to explore this beautiful land of ours. As the Prime Minister responsible for the Science and Technology Portfolio in the Caribbean Community, I am particularly pleased that Grenada is hosting this Workshop. When I first assumed the Priministership in 1995, the general awareness among Caribbean people about the influence of Science and Technology in our lives was, to say the least, very minimal. Therefore, standing here today, before such a wide cross-section of the Region's teaching fraternity, as well as representatives from the International Community, speaking about the use of cutting-edge technology in the context of regional and international co-operation, is most heartening to me.

ORIGIN: 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.
