Belize & Guatemala Talk Sea Rights
in D.C.
Today the OAS proposed that formal negotiations start. And they'll begin by looking at the maritime areas and access to the Caribbean sea. Of note is that now Honduras is now involved in the negotiations. Here are a few excerpts of a press conference held in Washington D.C. after today's meeting. More
GPS and radio could help bring calm to sensitive Adjacency Zone
Last week at the Adjacency Zone near the Western border with Guatemala the Organisation of American States presented two identical sets of field radio communication equipment and two sets of global positioning systems to the military forces of Belize and Guatemala.Each army received a modern hand-held GPS unit, a little bigger than a telephone, capable of giving exact latitude and longitude readings from an overhead satellite. The field radio sets will keep foot patrols from both countries in touch with their field base and field bases from the one side in touch with the field base of the other side. This inspired move by the OAS will help both sides to be aware at all times of what the other side is doing and should avoid the misunderstandings which have occurred in the past, provided there is goodwill on both sides.

World Is at its Warmest For a Millennium
A review of a range of temperature records, from tree rings and ice cores to historical documents, has found that at no time since the 9th century have temperatures been so consistently high. The study, published in the journal Science, found that the late 20th century was the warmest period for the northern hemisphere since at least 800AD, eclipsing the well-known medieval warm period when vines were cultivated successfully in northern Europe and the Vikings exploited the ice-free seas to colonise Greenland.

Cuba Focuses on Heredity in
Eye Disease Study
To aid people suffering from renititis pigmentosa –a degenerative eye disease that destroys the retina– doctors in Cuba are undertaking a nationwide program that keys in on heredity factors associated with the ailment. Although retinitis pigmentosa can appear in isolated cases, there is wide evidence that in Cuba it runs in families for up to four generations.
Results so far have proved effective and many patients are bringing in their children to the local ophthalmology departments for examinations, where they can be given timely treatment before the disease appears. More
Win some, lose some
Tony Deyal
When I found out that RBTT had taken a "Royal Baptism for Trini Traders" in Belize through lending money to a man who owned a bank but preferred RBTT's money, and some of its hotshots were coming to Belize to salvage whatever they could from the downhill deal, I facetiously thought of asking them to meet me in New York on their way to or from Belize.
