Stabroek News July 27, 2020

(Barbados Nation) From humble beginnings in St Peter, Owen Seymour Arthur, who passed away yesterday,  rose to lead Barbados during one of its most turbulent times, serving as Prime Minister from 1994 to 2008.

He went on to also win the General Elections of 1999 and 2003. His tenure remains the longest among Barbadian Prime Ministers and he was the fifth to hold that office, handling the portfolio of Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs.      Continue reading →

TRAVEL: Why Recreational Vehicle (RV) Sales Are Growing

July 24, 2020 – CNBC News – The Coronavirus has speeded up sales this year

In the years that followed the financial crisis, sales of RVs began booming. Once considered a pretty dowdy way to travel, RVs have benefitted from slick industry ad campaigns, low gas prices, and a renewed interest among Americans of all ages.

Data indicate first-time buyers are pouring into RV dealerships and shows, looking for their own happy home on the road. But long-timers say new buyers need to do their research before buying, and understand what the RV life is really about.

07/27/2020 – 12:20 am
Flavia Krause-Jackson – 25 July 2020 – Bloomberg

.
(Bloomberg) — Shuttering businesses, grounding airlines and ordering people to stay home was hard enough the first time. The thought of having to do it all over again is something world leaders don’t want to even contemplate…. “The Virus 2.0 Nuclear Option.”       ..

07/27/2020 – 12:03 am

-PPP dismisses contention

By Stabroek News – July 26, 2020

The incumbent APNU+AFC today claimed that there was  “a carefully orchestrated plan to oust a legitimately elected government and to implement regime change”, a contention which has been dismissed by the PPP.
