When Friends Meet












Thursday November 27,2008 will go down as a memorable day at least for three close friends: Glen, Huggins and Kenise. These three young men have had close ties from times. Dix's funeral on Thursday may have played a crucial part in uniting the guys after maybe a long time.

I happen to pop in on them when I entered a restaurant looking for something to bite. It was 12:25pm. After a range of discussions ranging from sports to politics the guys decided to go to La Pointe where Kenise's sister, Linda runs a small refreshment house.

The friendship and comradry really showed itself. There was Glen and avid listener and dancer of Country music challenging Kenise, an old veteran,(so he says )on the dance floor. Huggins on the other hand watching in amazement the skills exhiblted by his two friends.

Roblot Combined School Has Talent

, located


This new Roblot Combined School located Debreuil was built in 1982 after Hurricane Allen. The old school was originally in the community of Roblot. The school now has just a little over one hundred pupils. There are six teachers and a principal in the person of Mrs. Monica Bernard. Funny, Roblot Combined School in Debreuil


At a recent visit to the school I was amazed by the vocal talent that the school children posessed. It was during the school's lunch hour, while the children were involved in all sorts of activities that I saw two kids who seem to make singing a passion.


I was taken aback to the days when The Roblot Combined School used to hold its head high when it came to singing. The school used to take part in the Inter Schools' Calypso Competition on a yearly basis. On one ocassion the school placed third in all the island.The school used to be the only one to host an annual calypso competitionin the district, and you bet, parents as well as patrons used to look for that time..


These two children if they are nurtured, especially during the music classes, will have what it takes to get to higher grounids. I was able to capture Zamala Francois who was more outgoing than the other male student. With asistance the school should bring back calypso.

Nostradamus' Quatrains Predicted Present World Economic Crisis


Nostradamus was born into a rich Jewish / Catholic family in St. Remi, France on December 14, 1503. Many people suspect that he continued to practice Catholicism throughout his life, however he was fascinated with his Jewish heritage and even learned Hebrew.
In 1555, at the age of 52, he wrote his first collection of prophecies. These are what Nostradamus was most famous for. The Complete Book of Nostradamus is located at the Nostradamus Mabus Project.
The Book of Nostradamus is organized with a very simple layout. Each of the 10 centuries (or chapters) contain 100 prophetic quatrains (a 4 line poem that is also a prediction), except for Century VII, which has 42 quatrains, for a total of 942
In two of his Quatrains it is thought by scholars of Nostradamus that he refers to the present world ecomomic crisis. It is also thought that an elite group controls the world economy and tha a world depression is planned.The Quatrains are thus:
(Century VI, Quatrain 41)
The Elite families made their influence and fortunes in the banking and commodities industries, such as gold, oil, copper, tins, etc. This is much like the colonial barons associated with the European world empires who started their families' fortunes exploiting the materials of the Third World nations. The Elite manipulate the economy to cause the unemployment or inflation rates to rise or fall at their whim. They have affected everyone's life.
They are "pulling the strings" behind the scenes to manipulate world politics and economies for personal gain. These master puppeteers operate figureheads in many countries, governments, and the major world capitals. They are united but are very clever in disguising their influence. They hold positions that appear to be relatively minor, like advisors and under-secretaries and such, but are key positions of their power.
(Century II, Quatrain 96)
In the daytime they appear to be good, loyal, model citizens working for the same goals their governments are supposedly working for, but behind the scenes they band together and pool their information and contacts to work for their own ends. They do not appear to have any political power but they really have a firm grip on world affairs, like sharp teeth sunk into everything.
This secret organization has been in existence for several generations. Their existence is hinted in the family histories of the banking powers and money centers of the world. Only the families involved are aware. The leaders has been very slowly but surely building up a worldwide network of power, because they want to take over but stay behind the scenes.
Bet you didn't know!
