Full disclosure, I might be a little bit behind. I did look at the, you sent along the forward to the book. I read that chapter one, the Wiggins of the Tide, UDL stuff, I read that. Is this chapter two now? This is chapter two. And the good news, Patrick, is that you are exactly as caught up as probably many of the people are going to watch this short video. And luckily for us, hey, look, it's a segue. Luckily for us, Shona is about to take us through a two to three minute synopsis of chapter two, which will prepare us all to have a discussion. So Shona, the floor is yours. Okay, so this chapter is titled, Guiding Learning Through Engagement. And even though there's a PowerPoint, trust me, this is a short synopsis. So Darby begins this chapter with a discussion of learning about teaching from a dance studio and basically talks about how in a dance class, you don't teach the advanced moves first, you start small. And once a student masters the small move, then you can add on to it. And she asks basically, why do we treat academic teaching differently than that? Why do we expect students to be able to just jump into the complex advanced moves without scaffolding or teaching them the smaller things? So throughout this chapter, which I argue is basically an argument for scaffolding or at least for tiered engagement throughout a course. She states, students who find an assessment meaningful are more likely to work hard on that assessment, learn from it and complete it successfully. And essentially talks about how there are many ways of course to make assessments meaningful and to make other elements of a course meaningful, but one way is to scaffold or at least to give incremental feedback on parts of an assignment or parts of a lesson or module. She goes on to break down, I don't know if you've noticed, but the chapters seem to go with a series of sections and one of them is models and then the final one is usually principles. So they connect, but she talks about several models or ways we can do this, breaking down complex tasks and giving feedback at each step. Linked to that, she talks about releasing content strategically, so using the conditional release function that is built into many LMS systems, but to do that intentionally and potentially sparingly, not just because it's a tool. She also talks about how many of these things could be on graded and uses the quote from Jose Bowen that the tennis net doesn't grade your swing. In other words, you learn from the process of missing in tennis or hitting the net, but it's not grading you, but you're still getting better. And so I liked that quote. Another way is to look for cues and clues in classroom interaction. In other words, we might not be noticing as much in our online classrooms as we would in an in-person classroom, but if we really focus on paying attention to what students are misunderstanding, where there might be questions, and she gives lots of ideas for how you could respond, not just to individual students, but at scale. And then finally, she talks about, well, here on this slide, I have the final principle as giving feedback and giving feedback frequently, but she also mentions providing summaries or discussion highlights at the end of major sections like modules to sort of keep students on track. And I think what I appreciate most about this chapter is the recognition that most of us were never taught any of this unless we or happened to be in an education department or have been trained in pedagogy. And now we're also trying to do it online. And so my big takeaway is that scaffolding doesn't really need to be intense or a whole lot of extra work for the faculty. And that regular engagement, whether it's through assessment or other activities, can save time, energy and stress for us and for the students. And that is the end of my show. Fantastic, thanks for your answer. So now we'll just take kind of two minutes before we open up the general discussion. Is anyone have something that they wanna add to that summary? So something that was a key point, you think that Darby was trying to communicate that wasn't included in Shana's very nicely PowerPointed presentation. Anyone got something they wanna throw in? Yeah, no, just to say that I did read the first couple of paragraphs there in the dance studio. And I believe the book is based on the teaching small book but teaching small online. And I think it was in the forward, they mentioned that the guy wrote the teaching small book had this kind of epiphany while he was coaching or watching his kids being coached. And I said, bingo, that's the same thing has happened to me when my kids were small, they're in swimming lessons. I was a teacher at the time and I just watched these instructors break down the strokes and even like introducing the kids to the water and putting their face in and floating and talking with scaffolding, literally holding them then take your hands away, hold them. So this kind of step by step. And I remember thinking, yeah, we should be doing that in classrooms more just breaking things down and connecting things for kids. So it's that kind of coaching physical kind of connection that really makes sense in so many different areas. So I thought that was really, really neat to begin with. Yeah, no, I agree. And well, at this point, we'll transition into a general discussion I guess and I'll work up what you said there. First, she mentions the scorpion kick specifically as a thing in soccer. And that made me Google scorpion kicks. I'm gonna tell you a bit. If you Google scorpion kicks, what you're immediately gonna find is a female martial artist who invented a scorpion kick as a way of kicking someone. And I was quite confused by that for a while. Anyways, I was a rabbit hole. I went down for a while. I recommend you go in that rabbit hole. It gets into performative kata competitions and then it ends up putting you in bed at about two in the morning. So choose wisely. But I thought that was a great example. And there was another couple of points that were in there that I think are worth commenting on. And the one was just how unpleasant it is to grade and how much time it takes to grade bad assignments. And frequently that's our own fault because we ask students to do things that they don't know how to do. And as a result, they give us failed assignments, which is terrible for them. They didn't enjoy it, but it's horrible for us to market because not only would we give a terrible mark out, but it takes forever to go through. You guys know this. It takes 10 times as long to mark a poor assignment as a good assignment. But there's also, I think like a, there's also kind of an equity issue in there as well. And we forget, I think, how many students are coming in. And this is especially true at CBU, given our new demographic where they're coming from a totally different school system, a lot of them with our international students. But in general, students who come from a different educational background often haven't learned a lot of these steps. And so as a result, it's not that the students aren't trying to give us a good assignment. Frequently they don't know how to write in a meaningful way. They don't know how to go through. And so not only is it going to produce a better assignment and increase engagement and all these to have those little steps, the staff will kind of learning there. But also I think there's a social justice aspect to it as well, if we take the time in our courses to ensure that everybody gets up to the level where they can perform, that ensures that those students don't get further left behind. Absolutely. One of the things I thought was interesting about both the epiphany, right? That it seems like multiple folks have had with coaching or athletic training or anything like that is that like you can be, well, I shouldn't say you, fun fact, I have a black belt in Teguando. And so I don't know how to do a scorpion kick though. That was my follow up. But now none of us are ever going to mess with you. But I, you know, so I taught martial arts for a while, you know, on the side and I never, I have never made that connection, right? Like even though when you're teaching a form or a particular kick or whatever, it, you do that just sort of because you have to, right? You can't, especially adults, you can't teach them how to do the full move until they kind of incrementally move toward it. You know, kids are rubber, most of them and can do anything the first time, but once they're a certain age, it becomes more difficult. But I never really made that connection to teaching until much later, to teaching in college classrooms, much later when I started reading and thinking about these kinds of methods because I came into college teaching from a lot of folks who sound similar to Darby, who, you know, it was like, here's the content. Go teach it. It's very content-driven way of thinking about teaching. And so this is almost a reversal, right? I always sort of think about it as the content actually kind of comes last in planning. And anyway, so I just am really interested in how like I could be one person who's doing both of these things and I never ever made that connection until I started reading about it. And then the light bulbs started to go off. Yeah, it ties it nicely to a comment she made in the first chapter about how if we want students to do something, including, you know, read the syllabus, incentivize it in some way, that they're gonna skip over anything they can skip over in the class and just do what's required. And so requiring them to do those steps through either, she used a specific example of conditional release. And for people who don't know how to use to do conditional release in Moodle, I'll put some of the links from the CTL in the discussion forum. It's really easy in Moodle. Or using if, you know, so we don't overwhelm ourselves as well using things like peer feedback. And I'll put a link there as well for how you can use the workshop lesson tool in the workshop tool, whatever it's called to create anonymized peer feedback opportunity. Oh, I didn't even know about that. Oh, it's super cool. I just, I tried it last semester and it was one of those maybe this is gonna be a failure or maybe it's not, but it seemed to work pretty well. Let's open it up to Jeff or Kay Lee. You guys have something you'd like to throw into the conversation? Lots Kay Lee, do you wanna go first? I'll go first. There was a point on chapter on page 35 where there's a quote that I, it stuck with me and it was teaching requires a certain humility. So thinking about like the shortfall that happens when we teach and then recognizing that, you know, part of it is us and explaining which goes back to the first chapter around being explicit in communication but also recognize, you know, it's not just on the students to take everything that we put out but how and reflecting on how we put that information out or how we say that certain information and then quickly addressing any issues that come up out. I think that was important in this chapter as well when talking about teaching. Sorry, go ahead, Jeff. Oh, yeah. Yeah, one thing I found interesting was the whole discussion of conditional release. I've actually been making quite a lot of use of it this year and it's the first time I've made any use of it. I don't, maybe I made some use of it last year for the first time. And I have been finding it very useful. What I found interesting in the book was that apparently they've studied whether it has much effect in face-to-face courses and found that it doesn't. I wonder about the format of those face-to-face classes and whether mine might be different. I'm definitely intending to continue using it when we go back to face-to-face. I'm gonna, having now seen that apparently there are studies that say it doesn't, it's not effective, I'm gonna keep an eye and try and judge for myself, maybe even try and figure out whether I can study it somehow because I think my courses are just structured a little differently from maybe the sorts of courses that they were looking at. Even my face-to-face courses are, I don't know, almost online. Anyway, yeah, I found that interesting and sort of puzzling. So that's something I'm gonna take away from this and look into further. As you say, I think what, I didn't find that puzzling actually, maybe that it didn't have an obvious effect but that it had a more profound effect in online teaching. Given how much feedback I've gotten from students that their single biggest problem with online teaching, apart from the lack of human interaction, is scheduling. So I had one that just by accident, it was a late edition of a class and we literally couldn't find a time for two synchronous components that fit in everyone's schedule. And so I just made half of it asynchronous, half of it synchronous. And the feedback I got immediately was about a half to a third of the class was I begged for a second synchronous time. So I created a poll, went through and found a synchronous section that would work just for them. And then I recorded the asynchronous content, essentially, but allowed them to come in and sit in on it if they wanted to. Because that was what they said, is that they just, they got overwhelmed because they didn't schedule things. And I think that aspect, the conditional release forces them to come in and do things on a timeline. And that keeps them from procrastination, death by procrastination. And so that's something I'm definitely gonna, I've already doing it a little bit but I'm definitely gonna coming into our second half, after the reading break here, I'm definitely gonna start doing a lot more of those little baby signposts you have to move past. I mean, I think part of it is just that I, and I think we all sort of think of our own courses as, oh, surely everybody else does it this way too. But my courses or my first year physics courses anyway are very, very structured and have been for a very long time. Where there's just sort of a sequence of hoops that students should jump through. And it is, it's all about scaffolding and about a lot of it is about getting them to engage with the material before we hit that material in class so that they come to class ready to discuss it and so on. And what I've always found in the past is I set up these lessons on Moodle to try and get them ready for class and a fraction of the students do them. But it is a fraction, it's often a fairly large fraction but then there are students who just don't do them. And I know, I can look week two of the course and say, oh, well, these 10 students aren't doing the lessons. I already know they're gonna fail the course, right? And I can warn them, but sometimes I do, right? Explicitly, one-on-one, you really should be doing the lessons but it's very, it's surprisingly predictive. So this year, I made everything else like the assignments and everything that follow on conditional on doing the lessons. And now I don't have a fraction of the students doing the lessons, it really is basically all of them. And so I'm going to be interested to see next year when I go back to face to face whether that pattern will hold. So one of the comments that struck me in this was the discussion about, well, discussion about discussion groups and it kind of resonated. So Derby's writing this pre-COVID, which means that it's more of a traditional style of online learning because a lot of the tools that we're using like this, this pretty seamless video communication, I mean, this stuff didn't exist in March, or it was really, teams didn't exist with this functionality, Zoom barely had it, et cetera. But even though we've got this face-to-face interaction, everybody knows the students won't use it, right? This is, if you spend any time on academic Twitter or anything else, there's been countless articles written on this, students won't turn on their webcams. So it really resonated with me that the use of a discussion forum to do what I've heard faculty complain about a lot, which we can't read the class anymore. And so you can't gauge the speed. You don't know when you're going too slow, you don't know when you're going too fast because you don't see the quizzical looks, the board looks, et cetera, the look of abject terror you get in students' eyes sometimes, they're like, ah, what am I in?  So how are you guys, I've got discussion forums, I've got anonymous feedback, but they're mostly used for people if there's something seriously wrong, they send me a message, like, we desperately need this. I haven't gotten students to engage well in a way that's where there's real active use. Are any of you guys using and succeeding in discussion forums? And if you are, what are you doing? Not really. So, yeah, well, I mean, I've tried to use them for years and years and years and really never had a lot of success with them, right? And I mean, I think it's the nature of the beast of the courses that I'm teaching, right? In say an upper year, a small upper year course engaging with a lot of sort of opinion, not opinion, but issues where there are multiple perspectives that can be supported, right? Maybe students are more willing to dive in and have a discussion. First year physics? Well, they're terrified of being wrong, right? And I do everything I can to try and encourage them to be wrong and to revel in being wrong because by being wrong, we learn to be right, but that is quite a struggle. So, yeah, I've used discussion forums for years and had essentially no uptake. And I've thought of how I could, you know, like it's the usual thing, right? If you want students to do something, unfortunately, it always seems you have to put marks on it. And, you know, I understand why that is. They're very busy and they have to prioritize, but every now and then I wish that they would just do things that will help them learn. But yeah, so I haven't figured out, like I have so many incentives already, so many marks on stuff to do in my courses already, I'm reluctant to introduce yet another. And so I haven't. So, I mean, I get lots of interaction with my students, but it's almost all one-on-one chat on teams, not in forums. They're perfectly willing to ask me a question one-on-one, but they don't wanna ask me a question in public where they're gonna look dumb, right? Yeah, Shona says totally for anyone who's not monitoring the chat. Yeah, this is, I guess another point that's worth emphasizing there that Derby talked about is make sure you use this stuff selectively so you don't overwhelm students the million-on-one tasks, otherwise they're gonna stop doing them as well. So, you know, don't have them jump through 10 million hoops. And I guess tying in the first chapter as well, make sure that the hoops we have them jump through are explained, the utility of them, right? So that they don't feel like they're just doing busy work, right, or that they can't move beyond at the speed that they want to move beyond, et cetera. Yeah, I had some students actually who told me that discussion forums and their other classes worked fantastically. So, when this is done, first, anyone who is in the, anyone who is watching the video, please, in the comments, come in and throw. If it will work for you, let us know. But second, I'm actually gonna reach out to my students and ask them what worked in the other classes. The Darby had some advice, you know, the incentivization is one for sure, getting in and interacting with your students. Apparently, there's some meta studies that suggest that not only did that increase the engagement, but also the quality of the interactions, going through and summarizing. I thought about maybe actually requiring students to go in, but also requiring students to do some summarization exercises and peer review of summarizations as well, some things where they're interacting a bit more. But, yeah, Kaylee, what about in the library? You guys do faculty development things. Do you use these sorts of things with faculty into the work? For discussion boards, I don't, when we're teaching, we don't really use discussion boards because most of the times it's one-shot sessions. And so, I guess for engaging and trying to recognize those, as I call it, the Kanye face, it's a meme. Anyway, which is like a blank stare, right? So when I'm teaching, I kind of incorporate games and gamify the lesson so I can see where I'm losing them. So sometimes I'll use online, so sometimes I'll use Kahoot because then it's anonymized so they don't feel like they're saying, oh, I got the wrong answer, right? And they feel more willing to guess or participate. But, yeah, we wouldn't use discussion forms because we don't have a modal course. We teach this session. But, yeah, like I said, to guess the Kanye face or the look of confusion, I often just... It's a meme face, I've not heard that. Yeah, it's a meme. I feel like you need to post it in the... I just looked in the chat, but I'm not sure which one it is if you search for a GIF and of like Kanye just staring. It was like in an interview. I often use it in my slides and it's just him staring at the interviewer just like, I don't know what's going on. So... Okay, I search for that except I don't know what GIFs are. I only know what GIFs are. Oh, let's not share that. Eternal debate. I don't know if it's that one. Anyway, right now. So it seems like now that we're getting into Kanye, it might be time to really quickly wrap this up since we've also hit our 11 p.m. And I promise I keep these on track. So I do encourage people to continue the discussion in the forum down below. I'll put those links that I said there. Just by way of final, final summary, I thought there was a one sentence he had that was really nice for this chapter and it was a small signposts and feedback. And that's pretty much, I think if you wanted to take in four words or however many words that was, this whole chapter, that's it. Small signposts and feedback, which goes into the broader metaphor of the last chapter of figuring out what your end goal is and then Google Maps plotting a destination. So our first point is what are the higher learning outcomes we want in the course and then structuring things to get there, but then also having signposts just like if you use your Google Map directions, you have to know when you hit the corner, turn left. So have those signposts so the students know that they're on track and provide opportunities for feedback for them to let you know when you're going off track. All right, so that is it for today. I'm going to stop this recording now. If people want to stick around, you're welcome to, but please continue the discussion if you choose to in the forum.


Welcome to the NTN Nightly, I'm Nisha Charles, this edition's top stories. The four phases of the Road Improvement and Maintenance Programme valued at US$42M rolls out in Salterbus. Synclusions can now keep their mobile numbers while changing mobile service providers, IAM JetCenter Groups to establish a fixed based operation at the HIA, all that plus the latest in youth development, sports and the NTN Nouvelle Arcueole. Residents of Salterbus have been encouraged to capitalize on the various opportunities a road rehabilitation project in the community presents. The call came at the official contract signing and sawed turning ceremony of the four phases of the Road Improvement and Maintenance Programme valued at US$42M. The Government of St. Lucia secured the loan from the Government of the Republic of China Taiwan through the Export-Import Bank to improve the national road infrastructure, designing to place Friday 31st May 2019, more from Lisa Joseph. The Government of St. Lucia has identified three common issues impacting the national road network, air and seaports. They are poor physical condition, limited capacity and poor connectivity, resulting in the country's high vulnerability in the event of extreme weather conditions. The Government's goal therefore is to enhance St. Lucia's infrastructure which will inevitably support economic activity. Under the Medium-Term Development Plan for 2019-2022, the enhancement of 99km of roads is a key goal to achieving sustainable and inclusive growth by 2022. Honourable Stephen Sun King is the Minister for Infrastructure, Ports, Energy and Labour. The target roads, which are mainly primary and secondary roads, are located in 11 districts and have an approximate total length of 101.32km, less than 15% of our entire road network in this country. So even though the numbers may seem big, in terms of our coverage of roads being repaired or reconstructed under this programme, it's only less than 15% of our total road infrastructure. Rooting maintenance of the road network is costly at some $26 million annually. Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Ivo Daniel, says over the years it has been a difficult exercise for the Ministry of Infrastructure due to budget constraints and the havoc rain events bring to bear on the roads. Most of our roads in St. Lucia, when we measure it from the International Roughness Index, are really some of them are relatively fair. The others are at about Eri 14, which is very poor. And most of those roads are prevalent on the Tushri Road network. So we are indeed grateful to the Minister for Finance, the Prime Minister, our Minister under his leadership, and the Cabinet of Ministers for the second year allocating to the Department $14 million for routine maintenance on our roads. Several development projects are due to begin in the south of the island, and Prime Minister the Honourable Alan Chastney says the Sortibus Jetwin Road project is not simply about comfort but an opportunity to improve lives. So we have three cruise ship companies that are coming to build facilities here in Viewfort. So we have Carnival Cruise Lines looking to put a home port facility. We also have MSC and Royal Caribbean coming. So this road is the beginning of creating an opportunity for you to take advantage of that. So you're going to have cruise ship passengers now based in Viewfort who are now going to want to go to Souffre, and your job is to make sure you distract them from going to Souffre as much as possible. So all of the attractions that are here in this constituency, we need to fix up the entire road network in order to make sure the taxi drivers can bring them to these facilities. The $42 million dollar loan injection by the Government of the Republic of China Taiwan is hailed as a true demonstration of the friendship Senua shares with Taiwan. Foreign Minister Dr. Joseph Wu emphasized this. The United States, especially coming from the State Department, continue to say that Taiwan is a democratic success story. Taiwan is a reliable partner and Taiwan is a force for good in the world. And we try to be a force for good in the world. We try to be a force for good in the world by working together with the partners. And St. Lucia is a very good partner of ours and we will continue to work together with you in whatever way that we can be helpful. The Taiwanese firm Overseas Engineering and Construction Cooperation, OECC, is undertaking the design and construction of the roads and will subcontract Senucian companies to carry out the works. Nationwide construction limited has been subcontracted for the Saltybus Shetwin rehabilitation. From the Government Information Service, Lyssa Joseph reporting. Senucians can now keep their mobile numbers while changing mobile service providers as the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority ushers in number portability in its member states. Since the mid-1990s, mobile number portability has been expanding rapidly across the world. First launched in Dominican Republic in the Caribbean region in 2009, the MNPs soon followed in the Cayman Islands, Costa Rica and Jamaica. Over the past four years, the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority ECTEL, the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission, the NTRC, and service providers have been collaborating closely on developing an MNP project that would best serve the ECTEL member states. On Monday, June 3, 2019, number portability for mobile telephone numbers was launched across the ECTEL region in Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitsanevis, St. Vincent and St. Lucia. The minister responsible for telecommunications, Guy Joseph, says it is the beginning of real liberalisation of the telecommunications sector. Just having the option of a flow or a digital or another aisle come as some of the other islands may have has not truly resulted in the level of liberalisation that we really require in this region. And so this is just another step in moving in the right direction as far as full liberalisation of the sector. The mobile service providers welcome number portability and says they are fully prepared to deliver the world-class service to their customers. Number portability is a true test of competitiveness in the market, giving customers the ability to choose their provider based on service levels, pricing and convenience. I feel very confident that there are many businesses in the residential marketplaces across the ECTEL markets who will now be able to benefit from our resilient hurricane-tested networks. With a keen understanding of the life-changing impact that comes with number portability and delivering on our promise to ECTEL, a dedicated team was put together and the required funding was allocated to deliver this project despite numerous challenges. We've put together by the best commercial and technical minds in the region using the best equipment and technical support services. Although challenges may arise during the implementation of the new service, the NTRC says it is committed to ensuring that all mobile customers wishing to port can do so effortlessly. The customers and the providers have an avenue for redress with the NTRC, which is equipped with the dispute regulations to solve any disputes that may arise. Going into this new era of MNP, the NTRC will be executing this mandate to oversee and regulate as per the Telecommunications Act of 2000 and its ensuing regulations. According to ECTEL, number portability for fixed or landline telephone numbers will be available at a later date once alternative fixed telephone services are available across the ECTEL region. On 31st May, St Lucia concluded hosting duties in the 2019 DEFCA hackathon. Developing the Caribbean DEFCA is the region's leading event for exploring how digital and data impacts national development. DEFCA each year brings together a diverse community of innovators spanning the public sector, NGOs, technologies, researchers and notable international partners across multiple countries. Marlon Narces is the director of the Division of Public Service Modernization. The Governmental Centers for the Division of Public Sector Modernization has embarked on an ICT roadmap, the Government ICT Evolution, which focuses on supporting digital transformation to leverage technological advancements in artificial intelligence, computer technologies like cloud computing, social media, mobile services. One step in the transformation and digital transformation roadmap is the approval of an open data policy and strategy, which is a critical component in the digital governance, data sharing and more specifically, the opening of government data to the public. The hackathons are software development contests providing unique opportunities in the field of ICT for aspiring and professional developers to network while using tech innovation to solve some of the region's biggest challenges. Peggy and Sudat is the permanent secretary in the Department of the Public Service. The theme for DEFCA 2019, smart communities, smarter people pulls from the same general idea that you cannot propose to support technological change without also engaging the people who use the said technology so that they could participate and contribute to their own development and well-being in the emergent digital economy. St. Lucia was one of six countries in the region to host the DEFCA 2019 hackathon. And this is the NTN Nightly. Ryan O'Brien is up next. Hurricanes can be very destructive. Although we can't stop them, we can lessen the effects of hurricanes on our lives and property by preparing. Start by having a family disaster management plan in place long before the hurricane season starts. Discuss your plan with your family and ensure that everyone knows their role. Okay, everyone, let's go over our family disaster plan from last year. You should also have an emergency supply schedule with items that do not need refrigeration and will last for some time, include canned foods, water, clothing, first aid supplies, flashlights, battery-powered radios, batteries, sanitation and hygiene supplies, medication, special need items for infants, the elderly and persons with disabilities. Remember to regularly replace items like water, food, medication and batteries. Ensure that your home and vehicle insurance coverage are appropriate and up-to-date and secure important documents in a watertight container. Ensure that your house and properties in good condition and can weather the storm.  The Atlantic hurricane season is from June to November, but preparedness is year-round. Always be prepared. This message brought to you by the Viewport South District Disaster Preparedness Committee and NEMO and funded by the U.S. Aid Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. Welcome back. We join Ryan O'Brien for the latest happenings in youth development and sports. Thanks, Inisha, and welcome everyone to your update on activities emanating from the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports. I'm Ryan O'Brien. The under-15-40-over-schools cricket tournament moves into its quarter-final stages Wednesday, for what are expected to be some very keenly contested encounters. Two-fair comprehensive are expected to face Grand Evere Secondary at the Philip Marseille ground in Viefour. Archipel secondary and Leonhead's comprehensive will do battle at the Larissus Plain Field in Dennery. Castry's comprehensive secondary will square off with Schroesel secondary at the Mindofili Park, while St. Mary's College will be up against Ira Simon secondary school at the Grozile Plain Field, Marches-Boloff, at 10 a.m. The Youth Empowerment Project will move into another phase now that the logo competition is completed, with the winners about to be announced. Project coordinator Joanne Husbands told NTN Nightly that this competition carried out through April 2019. Youth Month will set the tone for the continued implementation of the project. The official logo, which will be chosen from the beneficiaries who submitted their artistic work, will be representative or that logo will be representative empowerment to them as a youth and to the community and we will be using that as an official logo for the project to champion the overall project and all of its subcomponents. The slogan for the logo competition was Enlightened Enrich Empower and that's your update today from Youth Development and Sport. I'm Ryan O'Brien. Thanks Ryan. The Sinoshia Air and Seaports Authority's SLASPA has signed an agreement to set up a fixed-based operation and FBO at the Huronara International Airport, the HIA. This is the result of a process which commenced three years ago and will complement the proposed master plan for the HIA. The new fixed-based operation at HIA will raise the service profile of the airport. IAM Jet Center Group is a regionally-based provider of premium services to corporate aircraft with FBOs in Barbados, Jamaica, Grenada, and Tortola. Speaking at the signing ceremony, Chairman Paul Worrell expressed his excitement in collaborating with SLASPA and adding value to the local aviation industry. SLASPA's Acting General Manager Mr. Darren Snack says the construction of the new facility is part of a 30-year master plan that will create several opportunities for St. Lucia. This is particularly true for the tourism and travel industries, providing a unique experience for premium-class passengers. The groundbreaking for the IAM Jet Center St. Lucia is expected to take place in the coming weeks with construction geared to be completed at the end of 2019. And stay with the NTN Nightly. Up next, Primus Hutchinson is here with the NTN Nouvelle Arquio. But we are preparing to protect our lives, come and copy us. First of all, it is necessary to have a plan for the management of the ASPs for the future. Long before the end of the cycle has begun, discuss plans with the future and make sure that everyone knows how to do it. Also, we have to make sure that everything that is in the fridge is ready to be checked.

For the formation of the G.I.S. government, the NTN National Television Agency, and for the Nouvelle Arquio, for the Primus Hutchinson. For the future, we have to work harder to establish an agricultural industry, to serve as many computers as possible. For the future, agricultural organizations such as CARDI, have led us to discuss how to make the agricultural sector more convenient for climate situations, for the future of agricultural work, for the activity to be placed, and to pay good attention to the place, as there are many ways to manage the change that has only been made in the climate. To make it possible for us to find assistance, we have to support the organization of the Agriculture Industry, the ECLISOT Collegues, the Commission of Agriculture Organizations, and the ECLISOT Agricultural Organization, as well. For the future, we have to work harder to make the agricultural sector more convenient for the future of agricultural work, for the future of agricultural work, as the Greek organizations committed to the industry have more understanding of the present, for example, to increase economic activity, production, for better information market, and to serve the sector. We have been advised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Agriculture, that it has the highest concentration on technology for the good of the world, and that it can help with the future of the industry. to help the farmers to collaborate to find information about the place in the land and to find solutions to this that continually threatens the agricultural economy. I am pleased with the work I have done at Oliwola Théa, which is a technology service by a computer service that I have developed to help the agricultural business professionals to improve their lives by promoting agricultural productivity, and also to help the farmers to increase their risk in the agricultural profession. I would also like to add that I would like to help and destroy the agricultural assets here to reinforce climate change, to ensure the stability of the environment, and to ensure the health of the people. This is a new cycle for the start of the year. It has been the first year since the first years of the year, and it has been the first year since the first years of the year, that developed from the first year to the second year, to the second year, to the third year, to the third year, to the fourth year. This is the first year since the first year, I have done a prediction that this cycle will be a pre-noble activity in the future. According to the University of Colorado, you may have written a prediction that within the next six years that your cycle will be developed within the first three years. Your latest science that you have done is that you will need to do a prediction that within the course of each year, you will have to do activities that will go in the next 20 years, so the first nine to fifteen years will be divided into four to eight years that will be developed within the cycle within the next three years, I'm going to talk about the situation here, because even if it's a prediction, I'm going to be able to continue for a good portion of this cycle. I'm going to be able to spend my time and do everything I can to make sure that it's necessary and not the information on the level. I'm going to talk about the situation here, because even if it's a prediction, I'm going to be able to continue for a good portion of this cycle.

Salaam from the People's Dispatch studios here in New Delhi. I am Siddharth Ani and you're watching Daily Debrief. On the show today, it's no secret of course that the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. A new report from Oxfam tells us exactly how much. In Tunisia, the movement against President Kai Said is intensifying and is Japan going to ignore international concerns and go ahead with dumping over a million cubic tons of contaminated water from the erstwhile Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean. First up, the richest 1% grabbed nearly two-thirds of all new wealth that's worth a whopping 42 trillion US dollars that's been created since 2020. This is almost twice as much money as the bottom 99% of the world's population. This is according to an Oxfam report entitled, Survival of the Richest, which was released on January 16th to coincide with the first day of the World Economic Forum. That's the annual orgy for the world's super rich held in the Swiss, sorry, ski resort of Davos. Extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously for the first time in 25 years, the report shows. And Gabriella Busher, Executive Director of Oxfam in a press release on the occasion said it like it is. I quote, while ordinary people are making daily sacrifices on essentials like food, the super rich have outdone even their wildest dreams. Just two years in, this decade is shaping up to be the best yet for billionaires, a roaring 20s boom for the world's richest. End quote. Joining us for details on this scathing indictment of trickle down economics is Dr. Abdul Rahman. Welcome back to this show. Abdul, good to have you in studio. It's a new year and we're having a conversation that I feel like we had probably exactly a year ago when the super rich of the world for the last previous time descended on Davos for the first time, I think after the pandemic and timed with it was the launch of Oxfam's report on global inequality. The report is out again. And for the first time in 25 years, extreme poverty is on the up on the increase, while extreme richness is also growing. Summarize for us the report in terms of key findings and numbers, please. See, the report, if you see in its totality will not be much different from what it was in the last year, except for the fact that they're having much more detailed set of statistics, which basically talks about how the expropriation of wealth, what they call the capturing of the wealth by the rich has increased tremendously in last two years, first two years of the decade. That's what they're saying. And they're saying that the pace of expropriation, the pace of capturing of the wealth by the rich has increased if we compare it with the last decade. So last decade, they were saying that it is around 54% of the wealth, all the wealth created in the decade was acquired by the rich, the super rich, one percent of the world's population. This time, it is first two years, 63% of the wealth has been acquired by the rich. So the rest of the people, 99% of the world's population is only getting the rest as 37% of the wealth. In terms, in absolute terms, around 42 trillion dollars the wealth, which was created in two years, 26 trillion dollars were expropriated by one percent of the world's population and only 16 trillion dollar reached the rest. In other terms, a billionaire adds around 2.17 billion dollars every day to its wealth. And in terms of dollar, if you see, if a person earns one dollar rest of the population, 90% of the population, if they earn one dollar, a millionaire adds to 1.17 million dollars to its wealth already. So when you are earning one dollar, they are earning 1.1 million dollars. That's the difference. So that is the level of inequality in the world. So that is the primary focus of the report. Apart from that, also they have country specific details saying that how in India, for example, 10 individuals own around 40% of the national wealth. That the inequality is so stark in a country which has the largest number of poor has increased, saw increased in the overall number of billionaires in the country. Apart from that, it also talks about how at the global level, because of these inequalities which are increasing because of the lack of taxation and so on and so forth, the countries, particularly the poorer countries in the world, are not able to spend enough on their basic social services. That basically creating further inequalities, which is creating poverty and which is hunger and other things. Just focusing on that taxation aspect for a minute, Abdul, because I guess as a proposal to get the world out of this situation, the report points to how, for example, some poor countries are spending four times more on financing debt than they are on things like healthcare. Taxation seems the only means or the only way out taxation and of course then redistribution of that wealth. Sort of expand on that idea a little bit. Well, that is one aspect of the report, which basically is the most significant, if you ask me, because the inequalities are rising and other things we know. By and large, there had been reports in previous years also about talking about the same things. But it emphasizes and very strongly emphasizes that the whole idea of trickle down, one of the executive director of the Oxfam basically said in the press release that this idea of trickle down, which was the mantra of the neoliberal period since late 80s, early 90s, that low tax rate creates further wealth and which the wealth reaches to the poor has completely failed. We have seen it does not work. And it only creates wealth at the top and at the cost of the rest of the people. So if you want to kind of control this inequality and inequalities are not something which is innocent, it creates dangers to democracy, to the society and so on and so forth. So if you want to control it and you want to save the democracy, save other, invest more money on innovation, invest more money on climate, to control climate change and so on and so forth, you need to increase the taxes for the rich. And it talks about windfall, again tax, it talks about other things, but it basically talks about reducing the emphasis on the indirect taxes. For example, the GST or the WAD and so on and so forth and increasing the direct taxes on income and wealth is very interesting statistic which the report gives that most of the wealth owned by the rich one percent is inherited wealth, not owned by these people. It is windfall from the investments they make. So they do not do any labor. Whatever the money they are getting is basically inherited or is basically a product of the wealth they already had. And therefore, they give a strange number, a strong number that around five trillion dollars is inherited by the rich heirs of the rich parents in the world and that is more than the entire GDP of Africa. So we need to increase taxes and we need to increase taxes on directly on the income to basically have enough money for the welfare and they give the example of how the higher taxes during the 70s, early 70s and 80s before that after the first Second World War basically created a situation where the economic growth happened at the time simultaneously with the larger development in social and sector education and health also. So we need to kind of imitate that regime. All right. Thanks very much. I will stick around because we're talking about Tunisia next and marking the anniversary actually of the movement that kicked off what is known as Arab Spring. So we'll be back with you in a minute. Thousands marched in the Tunisian capital and other parts of the country on January 14th against President Kaisaid's slide into authoritarian rule, demanding he step out, step down from office and reinstate the democratic objectives of the movement that overthrew Zeyn Arabiddin Ben Ali back in 2011 and launched the so-called Arab Spring revolutions around the region. The Central Avenue in Tunis, which was a key site for the revolution was crowded once again on Saturday with thousands of protesters waving flags and chanting that the people demand the fall of the regime. There was of course heavy police presence as well. The protests come after disastrous parliamentary elections last month in which just about 10 percent of the population cast their votes. They will, despite all the protests, of course, be a runoff election to follow on the 29th of January. Abdul is still with us in studio and has more on this developing story. Abdul, the Tunisian economy as well as, of course, politically, there's all kinds of turmoil as well. The economy is not in good shape at all. And people once again took to the streets on this important day in the history of Tunisia to voice their discontent. What's the latest? Well, on the anniversary of Ben Ali's removal from the power, 14th of January, there was a huge demonstration not only in Tunis, but in different other parts of Tunisia, which has a context. Similar to Ben Ali, there is a kind of a coup leader which all the political parties, majority of the political parties in Tunisia agree to. So there is, you can find some kind of similarity. And there is an anger about Kaisaid stealing the achievement. One success story from the so-called Arab Spring in 2011. In 2021, there was what is considered as a coup. And the people are angry at it. And that anger was expressed on Saturday. The Hughes gathering demanded Kaisaid's resignation and it also raised concerns about going back to Ben Ali's period where one person, Kaisaid's so-called new constitution, talks about how it has created a presidential system. It has kind of centered power in hands of the president. And that basically was the Ben Ali's system. So people are worried about that. And there is a huge political movement going on in Tunisia for last one year and so. And it seems on Saturday that on the anniversary of Ben Ali's removal, it was repeated, the protest demonstrations happened. And there are the, by the way, in meanwhile, Tunisia is also, the Kaisaid government is also conducting them, is going to conduct a second round of elections, which happened in December. And only 11% people participated in it. It seems Kaisaid is not getting the hint of, or not having any kind of understanding of what the popular mood is. But he has asked his administration to continue with the second round of elections, which will happen on 29 January. So, yeah, that is the situation. In terms of the opposition movement, a lot of it, which is being led by the Workers' Party and unions like the UGTT. What can we expect, sort of an intensification of this struggle on the ground? It looks like that there is already a talks about kind of that. In fact, if you see the history in last one year, in Nahada and its ideological affiliates have created a big group. So, Saturday's protests were not organized by one political party. There, Nahada organized one set of protests and the Workers' Party, the left-wing organized another set of protests. And those are protests where simultaneously held at different locations. And the popular participation was used in both the protests. So, there is already set of groups, which of course, ideologically, there is a division, there is a difference, there are differences. But despite those differences, there is one common point. Kaisaith is dangerous to Tunisia's democracy. He came to power, there is an understanding that he came to power because of the failures of the post-Arab Spring political leadership in Tunisia, which failed to tackle the economic issues in the country, failed to fulfill even to a limited extent the aspiration of the youth in the country, which participated in the removal of Ben Ali, a movement against the Ben Ali, nothing what they expected from the post-Ben Ali governments did not happen. And in fact, the Tunisia basically plunged into different kinds of corruption and inefficiency and so on and so forth. That was the reason that Kaisaith was elected. But none of the electorates, its scenes, were ready to accept a new regime, which basically wants, talks about efficiency, talks about dealing with corruption, but with the tools which were used by Ben Ali and what they call the dictatorship. And that is the, it seems that is the point which is sticking with the larger masses and that is the reason that the popular protests are increasing. If you see the mobilizations which were there earlier when the July 25th, 2020, when he 21, when he removed the government, the numbers were smaller. Now the numbers are increasing with each protest and UGTT coming into the movement has in fact further intensified the agitations. And it seems if this continues, if Kaisaith has not learned his lessons, the movement will be stronger in the coming days. All right. Thanks very much for both those updates. And finally, Japan will release more than a million tons of contaminated water into the sea from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant. Later this year, starting in either spring or the summer, Japan's Chief Secretary, Chief Cabinet Secretary, that is, Hirokazu Matsuno made the announcement. The International Atomic Agency says the proposal is safe, but neighboring countries have voiced serious concerns and called for an inclusive, consultative decision making process on what to do with this wastewater. The 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster was the worst of its kind since Chernobyl and the decommissioning of the plant will take anywhere up to 40 years. Every day it produces over 100 cubic meters of contaminated water. It's a mixture of groundwater, of course, as well as seawater and water used to keep the reactors cool. This is then filtered and stored in tanks with over a million cubic meters already on site, space at Fukushima is running out. Anish joins us for more details on this story. Anish, despite what seems like opposition or criticism from everyone except the United States of America, Japan is going ahead with plans to dump over a million tons of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant area into the ocean. What's the latest on it? What are local fishing communities, for example, protesting against at this point? Yes, so let's begin with the fact that Japan is trying to treat it as an issue of not contaminated water being dumped into the ocean, but as treated water that is being dumped into the ocean. They claim that they have treated it very rigorously and that the most harmful of radioactive waste has been taken out except for tritium, which they claim is not harmful to the environment or for humans in small quantities. Now, the thing is we do not know what these small quantities are. It's not been explained well. We do not know what will be the level of dumping this, how long it will take, how long these waste will be exposed to the ocean either. So that is one of the things that the fishing community are very concerned about. It is because the plan is not exactly quite clear how it will start, but it is set to start very soon. They're saying that it will begin by spring of this year or maybe if it's late, but it would still be happening by summer of this year. So this is a problematic thing. There is very, there is not enough transparency on the matter apart from the announcements that they have made. And if for the firstly, the fishing community are concerned about the fact that the wastewater will affect their livelihoods, it will affect marine ecosystems that can affect their harvest seasons and so on. Or for the matter that there can be like a market-wide paranoia that can affect their livelihoods, their possibility to sell their products into the market, even within Japan, let alone outside the country. So these factors are obviously something that concerns them. This is very similar to the concerns that Fisher Poke in the Pacific are worried about and not just the Pacific, but also China and South Korea and even Australians are quite concerned about how this will impact their marine ecosystem. And the problem, the bigger problem is that Japan is not entirely clear of how its plan is because obviously this is part of the entire decommissioning process of the Fukushima or what used to be the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Which will take about three to four decades and obviously taking out the wastewater is one of the first steps towards that process. So it needs to be done, obviously, but independent studies are lacking. There has been studies by the IAEA, but the report is yet to be published. There are already concerns being raised by United Nations human rights investigators, three of them at least have raised concerns, especially those concerned, those involved in human rights with respect to environment, with respect to food, with respect to livelihoods. And they have raised massive concerns about the fact that we do not really have the data to be sure that the kind of wastewater being dumped will be safe for everybody involved. Thanks very much for that update, Anish. That's a wrap for this episode of The Daily Debrief. For more details on these studies and all of the other work we do, we invite you, as always, to head to our website, peoplesdispatch.org.
