1 week ago | newsday.co.tt | Camille Moreno

News Former independent senator and child rights advocate Hazel Thompson-Ahye will be at the World Congress on Justice With Children in Madrid, Spain from June 2-4. The theme of the congress is, preventing and responding to violence against children in child justice: pathways to child-centred systems.
"Planting seeds of rice production"

1 week ago | newsday.co.tt | Camille Moreno

Business RICE can be grown locally. Yet 90 per cent of this vital commodity is imported. According to some estimates, this contributes anywhere between $100 million- $200 million to the food import bill annually. Which means that, since the heyday of rice production ended roughly a decade ago, billions have been spent to put rice on our tables. The UNC government’s continuation, on May 20, of a seed distribution programme begun under the PNM in 2022 is, thus, a welcome development.
"Sun sets on SoE"

1 month ago | newsday.co.tt | Camille Moreno

Editorial THE STATE of emergency – the second called to deal with continued criminal activity – expires on April 13. All indicators suggest what started with a bang is likely to end with a whimper. When the measure was announced in December, it generated tremendous anxiety and concern. In contrast, as the curtain comes down, few might notice. That says something about its impact.

Editorial WHAT is the essence of being a Trinidadian? It’s hard to say. But the extraordinary life of Mark Loquan, who has died at 63, might supply something of an answer. His death is a giant loss. Mr Loquan, who passed 14 months after a brain cancer diagnosis and seven months after being bestowed the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, was a unique individual who, nonetheless, embodied something recognisable in all of us.
"Regressive ruling"

2 months ago | newsday.co.tt | Camille Moreno

Editorial THE STATE has no business being in anyone’s bedroom. That is an uncontroversial position. Or at least it should be. In its regressive ruling of March 25 which re-criminalises anal sex between same-sex adults and resets the law to 1925, the Court of Appeal has effectively invited police to peep through the curtains. The case, brought by the state against activist Jason Jones, was about gay rights. But the implications of the court’s ruling are wider.
"Avoidable gridlock"

Oct 23, 2024 | newsday.co.tt | Camille Moreno

Editorial THE CONFLUENCE of several factors – roadworks, the annual uptick in excursions to the Divali Nagar, month-end shopping and a visiting circus from Mexico – has created a situation in which there are fears of a traffic nightmare along the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway. This should not be. Traffic near to the Divali Nagar, as well as during one’s daily commute, is already a painful ritual for many.

"The silent media"

Aug 30, 2024 | newsday.co.tt | Camille Moreno

Letters to the Editor THE EDITOR: So the Prime Minister expresses outrage at the shooting of the child. But did the media ask: Will the Prime Minister provide the people of TT with a minister of national security who will assume responsibility for the security of TT? Will 900-plus vehicles be provided to the TTPS to return to full complement with the hope of reliable, routine, and regular patrols that will be preventative and surveillance in nature?
"Schooling Venezuelan children"

Aug 21, 2024 | newsday.co.tt | Camille Moreno

Editorial THE BROAD smiles on the faces of government ministers gathered at a publicity event held at the Ministry of Education on August 19 contrasted sharply with the reality faced by thousands of Venezuelan children still left unable to access basic schooling.
Ivana Bašic - Metempsychosis: The Passion of Pneumatics

Jul 22, 2024 | fadmagazine.com | Camille Moreno

Fixed inside a round steel frame about the size of a bicycle wheel, a creamy rose hunk of alabaster is gently but repeatedly hammered by eight blunt mechanical arms. At first glance, the kinetics of Ivana Bašic’s Metabole feel relatively benign. However, since its unveiling in early June, the unrelenting tippity-tap has already rendered a small pile of dust to accumulate around the base of the sculpture — signifying its ultimately ephemeral lifespan.
