As the Gov­ern­ment in­ten­si­fies its fight against crime through State of Emer­gency mea­sures, polic­ing strate­gies and leg­isla­tive re­form, one of the coun­try’s most crit­i­cal crime-gen­er­at­ing en­vi­ron­ments—the prison sys­tem—con­tin­ues to op­er­ate un­der se­vere strain. Ex­perts warn that with­out ur­gent in­ter­ven­tion, it risks fu­elling the very crim­i­nal­i­ty au­thor­i­ties are try­ing to con­tain.

As the T&T Se­cu­ri­ties and Ex­change Com­mis­sion (TTSEC) marked its 29th mile­stone on Sat­ur­day, the or­gan­i­sa­tion stands as a tes­ta­ment to the re­silience and adapt­abil­i­ty re­quired to nav­i­gate the volatile wa­ters of mod­ern fi­nance.

For the first time in his­to­ry, a hu­man had run the of­fi­cial 26.2-mile dis­tance in un­der two hours un­der com­pet­i­tive, record-el­i­gi­ble con­di­tions. Ethiopia’s Tigst As­se­fa blazed her own trail in­to the his­to­ry books. As­se­fa suc­cess­ful­ly de­fend­ed her ti­tle by clock­ing 2:15:41, a new women-on­ly world record that an­chored a his­toric day where the lim­its of both gen­ders were fun­da­men­tal­ly rewrit­ten on the same stretch of pave­ment.

Two love sto­ries, one stage—A Deal With Dark­ness lit up the Na­pari­ma Bowl from April 17 to 19, hold­ing au­di­ences spell­bound as per­form­ers brought lo­cal folk­lore vivid­ly to life in a haunt­ing and emo­tion­al­ly charged nar­ra­tive of love, sac­ri­fice and con­se­quence.

Sev­er­al years ago, IShowSpeed, Kai Ce­nat and oth­er stream­ers start­ed mak­ing mul­ti­ple ap­pear­ances in our Twit­ter (now X) feeds. I’d look at their X videos out of click cu­rios­i­ty.
