The Pan American Sanitary Bureau (PASB) is the executive arm of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO); it simultaneously serves as the Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization. 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. The fundamental purposes of the Pan American Health Organization are to promote and coordinate the efforts of the countries of the Region of the Americas to combat disease, lengthen life, and promote the physical and mental health of their people.

    Extractions: THE SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO Prior to the 1939 - 1945 war, Port of Spain was an anchorage port. Vessels anchored off shore and cargo and passengers were transported ashore in lighters and launches. Since Port of Spain was identified as the main general cargo port in Trinidad, there was a sizeable fleet of lighters, tugs and launches, all owned by the large trading houses, Geo. F. Huggins & Co. Ltd., Furness, Withy & Co. Ltd., Wm. H. Kennedy & Co. Ltd., and several others who had formed a loose association called the "Steamers Warehouse Association to act on their behalf in the employment of port labour. For some years however, the seamen and the stevedores employed on the port had been discontented with the wages and conditions of work, culminating in a very serious strike ending in violence towards the end of 1919. By 1936 it was evident that the port of Port of Spain would be developed into an alongside port, and this heralded the creation of a Port Authority. The port workers finally organized themselves into the Seamen and Waterfront Workers Trade Union, and applied to the Steamers Warehouse Association for recognition. On the formation of the SWWTU however, it was discovered that the Steamers Warehouse Association was not properly constituted, and could not therefore enter into collective bargaining with the Union on behalf of its members.

    Extractions: Tobago, West Indies, is a basement high that forms the northeastern most corner of the present-day South American continental shelf. However, its pro-Cenozoic history indicates that it has affinities with the Caribbean plate and therefore is part of an allochthonous terrain that forms the easternmost fragment of the Caribbean Mountain system. Mesozoic oceanic island-arc crust is extensively exposed on Tobago and can be conveniently divided into three EW-trending lithologic belts that transect the island: the North Coast Schist (NCS), the ultramafic to mafic plutonic suite, and the Tobago Volcanic Group (TVG). A mafic dike swarm widely intruded the plutonic suite and TVG, whereas scattered pre-metamorphic and post-metamorphic dikes occur in the NOS belt. 4OAr/39Ar hornblende plateau ages from the plutonic-volcanic-dike complex indicate that this rock assemblage evolved in the Albian (105-1 03 Ma). The NCS rocks are lower greenschist fades multiply deformed volcanogenic rocks. 4OAr/39Ar radiometric dating of relict igneous hornblende from these greenschist fades rocks indicates a protolith age of at least Aptian and perhaps as old as Late Jurassic. Synmetamorphic mesoscopic folds In the NCS are tight to isoclinal and display a penetrative foliation subparallel to the axial surface of the folds. The fold hinges of these folds are subparallel to a widespread stretching lineation (Lstr) defined chiefly by elongated mineral aggregates or relict lapilli. Late metamorphic folds are essentially coaxial with the synmetamorphic folds but folds the SI penetrative foliation. Locally a penetrative cleavage (82) is associated with these folds, especially in pelitic protoliths. Post-metamorphic folds include and array of kink-like folds that probably developed under a complex and perhaps variable stress regime of uncertain age and duration.

    Extractions: BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MEET The CUT Track and Field Championships was a result of the CUT’s recognition of the need to provide the young athletes aged 8-15 years with some regional competition. There was also recognition by the CUT that sports have a significant role to play in the regional integration process. These particular Championships would bring together the students and teachers of the Caribbean for a few days of friendly competition camaraderie and co-operation. The Caribbean Union of Teachers Biennial Track and Field Championships was first organized in Barbados in 1986. The participating countries at the inaugural Meet were Anguilla, Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and host, Barbados. They competed for the Jean Perisco Trophy. Barbados made capital of the fact that they were at home and won the Championships. The success of the inaugural Meet led to a CUT decision to develop the Championships into a biennial affair. It was also agreed that the Championships would be organized by the Teachers’ Union of the host nation. This extends to the host seeding sponsorship to help meet local expenses. Member Unions desirous of participating are required to meet their respective cost of their teams. This includes airfares.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: Caribbean Islands Caribbean Islands Throughout the period of British rule from the early nineteenth century until the move to independence in the 1950s and 1960s, the Commonwealth Caribbean islands relied on British protection. After independence, however, the islands to some extent went their separate ways and were preoccupied by their own national interests and security and defense concerns. In the late 1980s, these islands were still a largely undefended region; only Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago maintained defense forces, ranging in size from about 100 to 2,100 members (see table 10, Appendix A). Despite their relative unimportance in terms of territorial size, population, and gross domestic product (GDPsee Glossary), the English-speaking Caribbean islands were a factor in the interAmerican system in the 1980s owing in large part to the strength of their voting bloc (a solid one-third of the OAS members). Because of this regional identity, scholars have recognized the Englishspeaking islands as constituting a subsystem of the Latin American system. One specialist on Commonwealth Caribbean affairs has observed that West Indian collective security issues can be understood only within the general dynamics of West Indian politics rather than OAS-based collective security arrangements, such as the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (Rio Treaty). This is attributed to the lack of solidarity sentiments between the West Indies and the inter-American system.

    Extractions: The Fire Service Association of (Second Division) Our History and Development Workers representation in the Trinidad and Tobago Fire Service seems to have its roots in the Branch Board of the fifties presumably started by the first Fire Chief, a British- born officer named Major Ronald Godfrey Cox. It is the belief that having come from a culture where the Fire Brigade Union flourished the then Fire Chief needed some form of feedback from the workers. The Branch Board became affiliated with the Civil Service Association and operated as a unit of it. The next major development in industrial relations came with the enactment of the Fire Service Act and other Civil (Public) Service Acts. It is instructive to note that all of these acts were concomitant with the Industrial Stabilization Act of 1965. As such the primary provisions of the Fire Service Act was a regulation of industrial relations. The Personnel Department was established to act as an agent of the employer, while the composition, structure and operations of Fire Service Associations were proscribed. The FSA2 as we know it is a product of this Act and its first luminaries were men like Arnim Titus, Fitzroy George, Justin Forbin, Kenneth Edwards and Carlton Clarke, to name a few. In essence the Fire Service Association is an organization created by an act of Parliament by virtue of Section 30 of the Fire Service Act Chapter 35:50.

    Extractions: Search this site: Contents Conclusion PURPOSE : The purpose of this requirement is to provide students an opportunity to examine peoples, nations, and regions outside of Europe, the United States, or any of the cultures largely derived from these regions (e.g., Canada and Australia). In light of the rapid internationalization of contemporary life, informed citizens and responsible leaders must understand social, cultural, political, religious, and philosophical differences that have always marked human existence. STUDENT OUTCOMES : Students should attain a level of critical and informed familiarity with a non-European civilization so that they can function responsibly as informed citizens with an international perspective. They should be able to think and to write critically about the historical, cultural, literary, or social traditions of this civilization, or, in the case of an international course, about a particular disciplinary perspective on the international system. They should be able to engage both disciplinary and interdisciplinary methodologies in the study of a non-European culture. COURSES : Two types of courses meet this requirement: Area Studies/Regional and Global/Thematic.

    Extractions: Picture courtesy of TTRFU It was felt that there was no better way of doing this than by staging a seven's tournament involving the widest participation from both local and foreign clubs. The concept was a resounding success and, with foreign participation growing each year, the event has become established as the Caribbean's premier rugby attraction. The Trinidad Enthusiasts RFC, initially in the person of "pint-sized" Gavin Clark, and latterly in the person of 'over-sized" Brian Stollmeyer, took up the challenge, further sponsored the airfares and agreed to organise a Seven-A-Side Tournament. The General Manager of LIATin 1986 (the regional domestic airline) Melvin Black, offered to sponsor a Caribbean Tournament by way of subsidised fares. So in 1987 the first LIAT Sevens was contested by local Trinidad Clubs and teams from four other Caribbean islands. Since then the tournament has been played annually over the first weekend in December with teams coming from progressively further afield. The Reivers, a representative team from the Borders of Scotland, started the influx of "foreign" teams in 1989 and have been coming ever since, even in recent years when the demands of the new "professional" game have made team selection anything but an easy task.

    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.
