Hey Doc —Let me ask you something: Who raised you?For me, it was Selwyn and Lucille Luces — two hardworking people from Trinidad and Tobago who gave me and my sisters a childhood full of love, structure, and support. They had help. They worked full-time. And still, they absolutely raised us.This week on ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I'm unpacking the guilt we've been taught to carry as working moms — especially as Physician moms — when we seek the support we need.I share:

Biracial, binational, queer human right activist Jason Jones began his lawsuit against Trinidad and Tobago's British colonial ban on same-gender sex in 2017. It was struck down in 2018, but an appeals court recently overturned that ruling and reinstated the law. Jones has one more chance to appeal that decision (interviewed by David Hunt). And in NewsWrap: transgender professional player Harriet Haynes sues the English Blackball Pool Federation to let her compete in the appropriate gender category, Redmond Sullivan is no longer a member of the Wagner College Iconic Fencing Club after a cisgender opponent refuses to play her, the Trump administration freezes Maine's federal education funding because of the state's trans-inclusive policies, queer-themed titles top the American Library Association's list of most banned books for the fourth consecutive year, the White House refuses to respond to journalists who use preferred pronouns, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Ret and David Hunt (produced by Brian DeShazor).

Les engrais russes seront-ils taxés à partir du mois de juillet ? C'est le projet de l'Union européenne qui cherche à priver la Russie d'une de ses mannes financières. Le processus règlementaire continue à Bruxelles avec un prochain rendez-vous au mois de mai. Cela fait des mois que le sujet alimente les conversations au niveau européen, mais ce n'est qu'en janvier, qu'un projet écrit a été présenté par la commission. Il a été approuvé mi-mars par les États-membres et la rapporteuse du texte l'a présenté la semaine dernière aux groupes parlementaires qui ont déposé des amendements dans la foulée.Le prochain vote est attendu mi-mai. En attendant, le lobbying des producteurs d'engrais et des agriculteurs qui défendent chacun des intérêts, diamétralement opposés, continue.L'année dernière, un quart des besoins européens en engrais ont été fournis par la Russie, soit 6,2 millions de tonnes l'année dernière. En l'état actuel du texte, l'Union européenne souhaiterait limiter l'entrée des engrais russes dès juillet, de manière progressive via des taxes qui augmenteront pendant trois ans.Quelles alternatives aux engrais russes ?L'Union européenne espère augmenter la production des 27 pour compenser ce qu'elle n'importera plus de Russie. Mais cette ambition relève du défi. Car la filière européenne de production des engrais accumule les problèmes structurels, pour reprendre une note du cabinet Global Sovereign Advisory (GSA). Avec notamment une règlementation de plus en plus dure en matière d'émissions de CO2, en plus de devoir faire face à un coût du gaz beaucoup plus élevé qu'ailleurs. Résultat, l'excès de production n'est pas d'actualité, au contraire des usines ont fermé ou ont suspendu leur activité. 20 à 30 % de la capacité européenne de production d'ammoniac était par exemple à l'arrêt en ce début 2025, comme le rappelle une note publiée récemment par GSA.Diversifier l'approvisionnement européenL'Europe devra aussi continuer à importer, et à augmenter la part de ses fournisseurs non russes. Le défi sera aussi le prix, car les tarifs pratiqués par la Russie, qui dispose de quantité de gaz à domicile, sont ultra-compétitifs. Dans ce contexte, les agriculteurs européens ne sont pas rassurés, et demandent un délai d'un an à la commission européenne pour ne pas se retrouver pris au piège. Ils plaident entre autres pour une levée rapide des taxes douanières sur les engrais du Maroc, des États-Unis, ou encore de Trinité-et-Tobago.Une production russe malgré tout en hausseLes producteurs russes s'inquiètent eux de voir ce marché se fermer, et soutiennent le report d'un an demandé par les agriculteurs. Mais les engrais russes trouveront toujours preneurs, assure un négociant. « Ils prendront la place d'autres origines, qui remplaceront en échange les engrais russes en Europe, comme un grand jeu de chaises musicales ». La Russie aurait déjà commencé à reporter une partie de ses exportations vers l'Inde, et le Brésil. Tout en maintenant un niveau élevé de vente à la Chine, et une part à peu près constante d'engrais vendus aux États-Unis.Comme un pied de nez aux européens, la Russie entend même conforter cette année son statut de premier exportateur mondial d'engrais. Selon la note de GSA, elle prévoit d'augmenter sa production de 3 % et ses exportations de 5 % en 2025, après une année 2024 déjà record. Une ambition qui s'appuie notamment sur la mise en service de nouvelles usines d'ammoniac et d'urée. À lire aussiTaxes sur les engrais russes: les céréaliers français s'inquiètent

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Have you ever wondered about the beautiful complexity that arises when different cultures blend? The Caribbean term "Dougla" captures exactly that—specifically describing people of mixed African and Indian heritage in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname. Today we unpack this fascinating identity that emerged from the region's colonial past of enslavement and indentured servitude. Derived from the Hindi word "Dogala" (meaning "double" or "mix"), the term once carried negative connotations but has been powerfully reclaimed as a symbol of pride. This blending of worlds symbolizes the Caribbean's remarkable capacity for cultural resilience and reinvention. It reminds us that some of humanity's most beautiful creations emerge at the intersection of different traditions.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Peter Vermes, one of the longest serving managers in the world, is out after a mutual decision in Kansas City. SKC has not won in their last 13 matches in all competitions, dating back to last September and it has been time for a change. But, Vermes deserved every opportunity and probably and extra chance or two to fix things because of all that he has meant to Kansas City and to the game in this country on the whole. He ultimately couldn't do it and a change was needed, but none of that tarnishes Vermes' legend. He won MLS Cup as a player and coach in Kansas City, won 3 Open Cups as a coach, is 3rd all-time in wins in MLS, and has coached the most games in league history. Beyond all that, as Andrew Wiebe and Aly Trost Martin and many others shared yesterday, he is just an all-around quality person. We'll see what's next for Vermes in the game, and we'll see if Kerry Zavagnin gets the opportunity to replace him in the long-term, he's the interim manager for now.Concacaf Champions Cup gets started again tonight with the quarterfinals. At least one MLS team will be in the semifinals as Miami travels to LAFC tomorrow night to start their series. The LA Galaxy are facing Tigres and Vancouver is playing Pumas. As Niko Moreno has told us on SDH AM (his Thursday 10:30am appearances are always a must for MLS fans), the Seattle Sounders made it official yesterday in signing English winger Ryan Kent.Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2nd round starts tonight with four matches. The highlight of the round will be in the Scenic City tomorrow night as Finley Stadium will see Chattanooga FC host the Chattanooga Red Wolves for the first time ever. The North Stand has been opened for the match and over 6,000 tickets have been distributed as of Sunday for the big event. The US U17's women's national team got qualifying for the World Cup started on the right foot with a 3-0 win in Trinidad and Tobago last night.Sheffield Wednesday have failed to pay their players for March due to "cashflow problems". This isn't the first time there have been financial issues for the current chairman for the Owls. Lyon is also in financial peril with auditors saying there is "significant uncertainty" over their continued existence. Debt has climbed almost 100 million Euros in the past year and an upcoming IPO and new shareholder financing might be vital to keeping things afloat for John Textor and Eagle Football Group. Premier League, Copa del Rey, Coupe de France, Coppa Italia, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, US Open Cup, and Concacaf Champions Cup games all on the docket for today. Atlanta Soccer Tonight will be live on 92.9 The Game after Hawks basketball tonight, starting around 10:30pm. More Espresso coming Thursday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Argentina clinched their spot at the World Cup before they even took the field last night, due to Bolivia's draw at home with Uruguay. The Albiceleste celebrated with a historic 4-1 in Buenos Aires over their rivals Brazil. The trash talking from Raphinha ahead of the match did not go over well and Argentina humbled their eternal rivals, earning the sweep against them in World Cup qualifying for the first time ever. Media in Brazil are speculating about the future of manager Dorival Junior now as Carlo Ancelotti's name has resurfaced. Nestor Lorenzo's time as manager of Colombia is also in jeopardy after Los Cafeteros blew a 2-0 lead at home to Paraguay to draw 2-2 after a golazo from Julio Enciso. Colombia should be fine to qualify, three of their remaining four matches come against teams below them in the table. Venezuela's home win over Peru could be the biggest win ever for the program as it gives them the lead in the race for the inter-confederation playoff spot and keeps their hopes alive of even jumping Colombia for the last automatic qualifying spot. Their next match at home against Bolivia will be one to watch for sure. Those two are separated by one point for the playoff spot. Iran clinched their qualification with a home draw over Uzbekistan, who now have to face the United Arab Emirates in June to try to earn their first ever World Cup ticket. Plenty of updates from Africa in the video, but the headline is Nigeria conceding late and now are in serious danger of qualifying for the World Cup. Many of the other expected teams are in good spots now to qualify, but Nigeria is looking less likely to make it. The Gold Cup field is set with the biggest surprise last night seeing Guatemala overturn a first leg deficit to defeat Guyana. Jay Fortune's Trinidad and Tobago earned another trip to the Gold Cup alongside Costa Rica, Jamaica, Honduras, Suriname, and Guadeloupe. Trinity Rodman is back with the USWNT for the first time since winning the Gold Medal at the Olympics for two upcoming friendlies against Brazil in California in April. Big UEFA Women's Champions League second leg of the quarterfinal today in London as Real Madrid tries to qualify for their first semifinal appearances as they carry a 2-0 lead into a match with Arsenal. A sad note to end this edition, US Soccer legend Hank Steinbrecher passed away yesterday at the age of 77. He helped modernize the federation into what it has become, overseeing it as the General Secretary from 1990-2000 and being part of incredible growth of the game in this country. While he professionalized so many aspects of the sport in this country, he never lost the personal touch to building relationships and helping grow the grassroots side of the game either. Soccer in the United States would not be where it is today without the tireless work of Hank Steinbrecher and everyone in the sport will miss him greatly. More Espresso coming tomorrow on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

As a player, Chris Birchall's career took him from Port Vale to LA Galaxy - and even to the World Cup with Trinidad and Tobago. But now he's aiming to become a professional referee, with the support of the PGMOL and the PFA.

When we think about habitats, it's easy to picture the rich diversity on land—vast prairies, scorching deserts, lush forests, and intricate wetlands. But what if I told you the ocean is just as diverse, filled with ecosystems as unique and vital as any on land? The only difference? We can't see them as easily—but that doesn't make them any less important.Today's guest is Dr. Judith Gobin, joining us all the way from Trinidad and Tobago. Judith is a recently retired professor of Marine Biology from the University of the West Indies. And she's here to tell us about tropical marine habitats, such as mangroves, sea grass, and coral reefs. She has a particular interest in deep sea habitats, such as cold methane seeps and even whale falls. It's a bit morbid, but weighing up to 300,000 pounds, in the case of a blue whale, a dead whale literally creates its own habitat.To my surprise, I learned that the ocean floor more than 200 kilometers away from national coast lines is basically a free-for-all for exploration and resource extraction. Judi tells us about a new treaty that aims to better control these operations, which can disproportionately harm island nations such as Trinidad and Tobago.It's a deep dive into ocean science, conservation, and awe-inspiring ecosystems.FULL SHOW NOTESLinksBiodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction TreatyDeep Sea Videos mentioned by Dr. GobinDr. Diva AmonDr. Robert BallardThe E/V NautilusLamellibrachia judigobiniSupport Us On Patreon!Buy our Merch!Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist site: https://brianholtzmusic.com Discover the Jumpstart Nature Podcast - entertaining and immersive, it's the nature fix we all need.Check past Nature's Archive episodes for amazing guests like Doug Tallamy, Elaine Ingham, and Rae Wynn-Grant, covering topics from bird migration to fungi to frogs and bats!

SHONTAL: Sir, do you agree that the average American is not able to take vacations like the average Jamaican and Caribbean residents can? PROF. RENALDOMCKENZIE: No, but it also depends on who you are comparing because black and Brown people are just as dependent and economically behind everywhere. So there is no positive to be gained from the poorest being better than other poor people. Moreover, the average person in the US is not looking to break the law to travel to the #caribbean. In fact, there are very few restrictions to travel from the US to the Caribbean. Moreover, the US is a post-industrial developed country where US1$ is #jamaica $150. In the US, the poorest have access to social welfare, tax returns and credits, and other benefits. Jamaica and Caribbean governments struggle to provide benefits to their most vulnerable peoples and can barely afford to provide social welfare. The question is an inappropriate question, as one cannot compare the two in terms of wealth as the US has more wealth than Jamaica but the wealth is concentrated around those who are white or of a certain class. The episode went beyond the Caribbean Thought Lecture's class topic, looking at the film "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black, which is why this Episode series of Caribbean Thought is called Caribbean Thought Extended.We also switched gears and discussed some breaking news from around the #caribbean: 1. Turks and Caicos - Immigration restrictions on immigrants as the Turks are being outnumbered by immigrants. #turksandcaicos2. Trinidad and Tobago - The Government announced a State of Emergency, and the Chief of Police was arrested for his association with a known gang leader responsible for bringing in illegal guns. Trinidad and Tobago 3. Haiti - The whole country is still in a state of crisis as gangs control half of the capital. #haiti We discuss these lead by: Edras from Haiti living in Trinidad Ombertta - from Jamaica living in Turks and CaicosShontal - From Jamaica and is in Jamaica.The discussions are facilitated and hosted by Rev.

Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie continues the 2025 #caribbeanthought Lectures at Jamaica Theological Seminary ‪@jtsintersection‬ via the ‪@georgetownuniversity‬ Platform, beginning this week with #colonization as a Strategy to control. Rev. Renaldo discusses #postcolonialism as a new strategy marking the end of another kind of control strategy. The #caribbean today is faced with the threat of retaliation and instability within their region after years of stability within their geopolitical region. The discussions were electrifying and explosive as the lecture culminated in whether Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago should continue to do business with #china.Rev. #renaldomckenzie builds on the lectures from previous weeks, asking whether there is a Caribbean Philosophy, Caribbean Theology, Caribbean Epistemology that is not bastardized by European colonization and their field slaves or elites or local politicians today.The Lecture promises to be profoundly esoteric and challenge our presuppositions and assumptions.The Lectures are taught face-to-face over Zoom by Jamaica Theological Seminary, Humanities Department.Rev. Renaldo McKenzie is attended ‪@uwimona‬ and is a graduate of ‪@penn‬ ‪@jtsintersection‬ and is currently ‪@georgetownuniversity‬ completing his doctorate.Renaldo is author of #neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance.Renaldo is President of The Neoliberal Corporation and Creator of The Neoliberal Round Podcast and ‪@YouTube‬ Channel: ‪@RenaldoMckenzie‬ Visit us: https://theneoliberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.comVisit Jamaica Theological Seminary: https://jts.edu.jmEmail the Professor: renaldo.mckenzie@jts.edu.jm or renaldocmckenzie@gmail.comCall us at 1-445-260-9198Check out the Store: https://store.theneoliberal.com

Here we are! Episode #8 of-The Lost Bistro Cabaret: Dollop of Kant We hope, to this point, you've been entertained and occasionally enlightened as we look through our Paris perspective Ira Glass darkly. Are we nearing the end of Season #1? Good question. Seems this podcast racket is all about the downloads. Can we talk? Good. We were afraid you might be offended if we continually bring up the subject. We've attempted to grow The Lost Bistro organically, through you, and with a little help from many reach outs to those who are in positions of power and influence in the podcast industry. Muffy Drake has reached out to the Usual Suspects: KCRW/WBEZ/WNET/BBC/Crooked Media/Pushkin Industries/Fat Tony "The Influencer"... But, so far...to quote Joe Frank, "those efforts rendered faithfully over a period of months have been in vain." They wouldn't return our phone calls or answer the many emails sent with a loving nudge...hourly. All we asked of them was to take a listen. Hear for themselves if we could have a seat at one of their small card tables in the backroom. "If a podcast fails in a digital forest, did it ever make a sound in the first place?" Desperate times call for disparate measures.  Maybe one of you, knows someone, who knows someone, who has a cousin named Joey who once played pickleball in the rain with Lady Gaga and is still on speaking terms with them and could reach out to Joey and ask him to champion Muffy. I'm just saying, reaching out continually with no answer is enough to break the Heart of this podcast, but not the SPIRIT.  However, YOU have faithfully answered our call every week and Merci Beaucoup! for that. You know who you are. Here is a list of where you live: France-United Kingdom-Ukraine-Ireland-India-Nepal-Mexico-Taiwan-Greece-Kenya-Latvia-Namibia-Algeria-South Africa-Canada-Pakistan-Poland-Uganda-Portugal-Denmark-Spain-Israel-Japan-Vietnam-Norway-Austrailia-Cyprus-Switzerland-Germany-Italy-Belgium-Cuba-New Zealand-Columbia-Finland-Argentina-Singapore-Netherlands-Uzbekistan-Austria-Chile-Cameroon-Hong Kong-Slovenia-Phillipines-Somalia-Thailand-Trinidad and Tobago & Montana Just know, Muffy Drake will always have a seat for you at the table of The Lost Bistro Cabaret.

Interview with Paul Baay, President & CEO of Touchstone Exploration Inc.Recording date: 28th February 2025Trinidad and Tobago's natural gas sector presents a compelling investment case for companies with the right expertise and approach. Despite being a small nation, Trinidad punches above its weight in the global energy market due to its strategic location near the resource-rich Venezuelan Basin, well-developed infrastructure, and supportive regulatory environment.The country's energy landscape is split between offshore operations led by international oil majors and onshore projects driven by smaller independent companies. This creates a niche opportunity for firms that can successfully navigate the local framework while leveraging modern technologies to unlock value in underexplored onshore assets.Touchstone Exploration, a Canadian company focused solely on Trinidad, exemplifies the three-stage approach to natural gas development that can generate attractive returns: land acquisition to secure resources, infrastructure control for processing and market access advantages, and targeted drilling to convert reserves to production and cash flow.Trinidad's natural gas wells are characterized by strong initial production rates followed by steep declines before stabilizing at lower long-term levels. This profile front-loads cash flows, enabling quick capital recovery. However, it requires technical expertise to manage reservoir characteristics and optimize recovery.The investment case is enhanced by Trinidad's domestic natural gas supply deficit, which ensures producers have a guaranteed market for their output. Recent changes allowing access to LNG export markets at prices several times higher than domestic rates further amplifies the upside. Producers also benefit from sales in US dollars and relatively low royalty rates.Maintaining discipline in capital allocation is critical, balancing self-funded development with exploration upside. Near-term value comes from efficiently developing proven reserves, while the untapped deeper Cretaceous formations provide longer-term potential that could be transformational.Touchstone's acquisition of Shell's onshore infrastructure, 229 drilling locations, rapid payback model, and clear growth trajectory to 7,000 boe/d makes it a leading investment opportunity in Trinidad's natural gas sector. As global gas demand expands, Trinidad's unique mix of low-risk development and step-change upside could offer compelling risk-adjusted returns for energy investors.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Wendy Ferguson, an infectious disease specialist whose journey from Trinidad and Tobago to the forefront of vaccination advocacy highlights the transformative power of vaccines. Wendy's firsthand experiences witnessing the lingering effects of polio shape her mission to prevent infectious diseases and inform our discussion about the role of childhood vaccinations in public health. As we examine the fading memories of past epidemics, Dr. Ferguson's insights remind us of the critical importance of maintaining vaccine awareness and understanding. Our exploration continues with a deep dive into the mechanics of herd immunity and the alarming resurgence of measles due to low vaccination rates.
