The Journey of the Body of the Late PM of Barbados

The funeral of Barbados' late Prime Minister, the Honourable David Thompson, will be held on the 3rd November 2010, at the Kensington Oval in St. Michael. The service is expected to begin at 8:50a.m, and the burial will be in St. John.

The Oval could accommodate about 11,000 people, and according to the 2009 Census count, this little island of 166 square miles has 275,719 people. Therefore, tickets will be made available to the public. That is, on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Additionally, those desiring to pay their last respects could have done so at the Parliament building in Bridgetown, Combermere School, the headquarters of the Democratic Labour Party and St. John's Parish Church on Sunday.  His body was in the state from the 28th until the 31st of October.

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
