| Bombings in London spawns grave concern among the nation |
Europe in the throes of concern following bombings in London
by Edwin Ali,
Tuesday, July 12, 2005
Four blasts last Thursday, three in the underground transport system used by more than three million commuters daily in London and a fourth which demolished a double-decker bus, have triggered world-wide concerns, especially in Europe and the United States.
Prime Minister Tony Blair immediately blamed the bombings, the worst attack on London since World War 2, on Islamic extremists, but Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick said footage from closed circuit television, some 1,800 in the train stations, 6,000 in the Underground network and on some buses, will have to be screened, as well as debris to sift through and small traces of explosives to examine.

| Ulalena |
Astounding, Authentic, Breathtaking and Entertaining are only a few of the words one can attribute to the fantastic show, Ulalena, staged before mesmerized audiences in the new state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar Maui Myth and Magic Theatre in Lahaina. Cove Entertainment and Arra-Maui have brought together over 20 professional performers in the presentation of an extravaganza that tells the story of the Hawaiian Islands, from its mythical creation, the arrival of the first Polynesians, and to the modern cultural renaissance through ancient chants, hula, song and drama, traditional music, acrobatics, and dance. The power of this production is that it is both universal and intimate with the audience feeling involved throughout the performance. It is born from a mythology populated by beings larger than life representing a natural landscape alive with volcanoes, vast oceans, and primeval rainforests. |

| Crop Over Festival |
Thousands of revellers jumped up, gyrated and 'wuk-kup' themselves into a frenzy as they partied themselves behind 21 bands on the way from the Barbados National Stadium to Spring Garden to bring the curtains down on Crop Over 2002.
Twelve point seven inches of rain did not dampen the spirit of the revellers in their passion, an intensity, matched only by the pulsating beat of drums and calypso music.
A sea of shimmering colors, blue, green, red, yellow, and orange stretched for miles and miles. A generator failure during the first half of the Heineken Beer/EAS Field White Rum Pic-0-de-Crop Finals at the National Stadium did not prevent Red Plastic Bag (Stetson Wiltshire) from being selected Calypso Monarch 2002, for the sixth time in his 20 year career. RPB had just begun his first tune when the lights went out. He returned later to finish SAM, a powerful presentation of twin towers labelled love and peace, with RPB appearing in a Bin Laden costume followed by an armed soldier on the hunt for him. |
