Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Happy Monday and to start to a brand new week. And there's a lot to look forward to today on Fever 22 with team of the season upgrade packs or player picks. Most likely dropping today because Mondays are the most common day for those to drop in the games. We'll talk about the potential of that for today. Other content that we could see to start off our week. And of course, talk about some interesting movements on the market. Now, this is going to be a very interesting time frame today on Monday because this is normally the time where you see a pretty solid market rise after a week and the rewards are given out. But of course, with the new schedule for foot champions finals, the rewards are not just given out today. They're actually going to be given out on Wednesday. So I'm curious to see how it's going to impact the market. I do think that some cards could rise, but it might not be like a normal Monday. So we'll talk about that a little bit. And of course, with the content yesterday, including the Boscagli, I think that's how you say his name. The Oliver Olivier Boscagli SBC. This is a really cheap left-back that has some pretty solid stats and he seems to have a lot of fight. I think a lot of people did this SBC yesterday and it's impacting the market a bit, especially in the center back departments. We want to talk about that and how those cards are moving on the game as well. But I'm excited for upgrade packs today because I am going to start. It's going to be the start. We need to get the team of the season counter loaded down below on the screens and you can see how many tots we packed during this promo. But it is just going to be the start of packing team of the seasons throughout this month and a half long promo. It's going to be great. So hopefully we get a good pack today. If you're looking forward to hopefully an 81 plus player pick, hit the thumbs up on the video and of course, subscribe if you are new. Now that's the biggest news for Mondays, right? Mondays inside of promos. We've seen it all year long. Those are the days that we get the upgrade packs or player picks. Now EA has been very nice recently in the past couple promos. Think about foot captains. We had some pretty solid player picks. I think we had the 80 plus times four and the 81 plus player picks both dropped. I don't know about the 80 plus times four. That might have been like week one of foot captains, but we haven't had that in a couple of weeks. Really what I hope for today is some sort of player pick to drop. And I think it's very, very likely. We don't have any leaks about any sort of those things right now. The least have been pretty quiet, which again is fine. Right. We just drop us some surprises. We're fine with that. But we don't have player picks out right now, but those were most likely dropping today. Last year we had the 80 plus player pick that was available. And I think that would be a three option player pick. Now that'd be great. If we got that again today, basically what I'm hoping for for an upgrade pack SBC today on Monday is something that I can pack both air divisi tots in and the community tots cards. I want to have an upgrade SBC that is not league specific or even an e-figs upgrade pack. I really would not be down for that 80 plus times two e-figs pack that they dropped last week during tots warm-up series because that would only allow us to pack cards from the community team this season and not the air divisi squad as well. Again, an 81 plus player pick or the 80 plus with four options would be literally the perfect SBC for today and for the rest of this week because that would give us a really cheap option for an SBC to pack some of these air divisi and the community tots cards. And of course you might be able to stack some of those up for Premier League team this season starting this Friday as well. So that might also play into the factor of what people will be doing this week on on the game if that sort of player pick does come out. So if that's something that you're really really interested in today is doing some of those SBCs. I know there's not a ton of like besides icon player icon moments player SBCs and we did have the icon moments upgrade pack that was released yesterday. I think it's a little bit expensive. It's not as hyped as the player pick option. If this was an icon moments player pick it'd be so much more hype. Even I feel like the prime player pick was more exciting than this for most people. You know those are kind of the only SBCs you can grind right now but if you plan to try to pack team the season cards or there's anybody that you want to pack in general from any of these taut squads. You know going in and stocking up your club with some of these gold rares is probably a good idea. They're they're basically discard you can get them at 650 for the gold rares and then I think the gold non-rares are probably like four to 500 coins for most of these leagues as well 500 coins for the Bundesliga right now just searching a random one stock your club on these today if you plan to do some upgrade packs because those will most likely rise if we get an 80 plus player pick or an 81 plus player pick there will be a decent amount of demand for those as people do want to pack team of the season and they're very packable right. These cards have a high drop rate we've seen how low their prices are on the market. Some of these guys just continue to drop lower now not without fluctuations though and that's what I want to move into kind of talking about next is just how are these cards going to move today because we had a few of these tots cards rise up pretty nicely from Saturday into Sunday and if I show you some graphs right now you'll be able to see what I'm talking about is last night when we were looking at a few of these cards Fred I did end up buying he had a pretty nice bounce this Anthony was one of the best ones though he went all the way down to about 200,000 coins on the PlayStation 170 on the Xbox later in the day he goes to 30 MPS and back to 200 K on the Xbox so both consoles yesterday you saw cards get low Saturday night and rise into Sunday now again like I mentioned it is Monday looks like he was almost down to 200 K again and not as low as last night on either console Xbox or the PlayStation tonight on Sunday night heading into Monday today but I mean I do think that you'll see a few of these cards rebound back so that's what I'd be looking for it now I'd be very very careful with a few items I just don't think that it's going to be a mass market rise like a lot of times what we've seen we saw this during foot captains and you know a lot of the problems that we've seen earlier on this year like remember this Mario Gomez the first day that he was out on Sunday he dropped down Sunday night really really low then exploded on Monday morning it doesn't show on the graph here but he was like 420,000 coins 430,000 coins and then he went to like 500 K on that on that Monday morning of the first time he was in packs during foot captains you know I don't think you're going to have his drastic of a rise on these tots cards because they've been supplied so much already and they're in a part of weak and the rewards but again like Anthony was down at 200 K flat you know even this wish now is down a decent amount or what wind all I say his name terribly every time you don't say wish now them right say why now them I gotta work on that anyway sorry to my to my Dutch fans out there that I'm pronouncing the name so terribly but anyways you know Zaha 345 that's kind of peaking my interest a little bit because yeah he's down Zaha was 348 last night but he didn't really rise up that high went to 375 there's not a lot of profit in that I would have liked to see him go lower so I don't know if I'm going to risk it that much on cards this evening or this morning heading into the Monday timeframe just because I don't know how much rise in the market there's going to be with the fact that the weekend league rewards are not just given out now I do think that plays a big factor on why we see the markets rise so much on Monday mornings usually is because EA gives out the weekend league rewards then and of course people are getting coins people are getting you know packs and they're opening those up and they're getting coins from opening those packs and that's why the markets I think usually rise on Mondays because people get that extra content to get those coins and they go out and they buy cars to put into their teams and right now we're not getting that today on Monday so with the rises that we maybe will see on the market I think they're going to be a bit more they're going to be smaller they're not going to be as drastic and just don't think there's as much of a push to buy teams today because a lot of people like myself included are still in the middle of the weekend league now of course there are people that are still playing and people that are done as well so it's just it's weird because it's spread out and again I'm probably going to take a bit of a backseat on buying Tots cards today unless I see some prices get really low tonight or something I'm probably going to take a backseat on it because you know this is the first week that we've seen once we see what happens today on Monday tomorrow on Tuesday and how this week kind of plays out that should give us a better indication of how the market is going to move for the next couple of weeks during you know each of these leagues that come out during Tots 147 for Gravenbridge right now he was really really high earlier yesterday but he was also really low a couple nights ago so I'm going to watch from this Gravenbridge and see if he goes any lower to low on fours but yeah I'm just going to be careful with flipping the Tots cards today for the rest of the market I think it's pretty safe to flip because if you have a car that is getting low that is out of packs wow lock is that is really high Robbie Keane has a moment of rarity here but Cordoba Cordoba is a little bit low actually this is crazy because center backs have been down and this is with the next point that I want to take a look at is this Cordoba is really consistently between you know 890 and 925,000 coins I'm actually going to go take a look at this right now because we had a center back SBC that was dropped on the game yesterday and I would be very surprised that people are panic selling a Cordoba card because of that one 855 that's really really low that's really really low but there's not a lot of profit in that so maybe I'll try to see if we can catch one more undercut in this Cordoba and I think he's going to be over 900 K tomorrow morning but some of your other center backs in this game let me give you a few examples of cards that are down right now denier Jason denier is down and he was like 120,000 coins yesterday right now the man is 80 K he's like 81 82,000 coins I believe on the market all because of the both scagly French center back SBC this plays in perfectly with what people are doing right now and FIFA they're trying out some cards but this has a really easy link up in a lot of people's teams right he's French and he's an heir to busy so people that want to try out heir to busy Tots cards since they're so cheap but still have really good stats and they want to link it up in their team make a little bit of a hybrid connection with other French meta specials that they might have this guy's a shoe in four star week foot as well that's kind of cool this SBC is only like 20,000 coins and the card doesn't look insane but he looks cool and it's so cheap to do and you saw a lot of the PSV links and some of the other heir to busy links actually rise up a little bit yesterday and that's how you know that an SBC is very hyped right and a lot of people are wanting to do it because a well this is what we also see we look at foot Ben and we see 1800 thumbs up but what really speaks volumes is all of these center backs that are going down in price especially unlike the under 200k price range this dude's 58k on Xbox oh my gosh like look at this on Saturday denier was 138,000 coins and now today after even more droppings in price he's 83 82,000 coins Lucas Hernandez the road to the final which is no longer live Lucas Hernandez was 215k I believe 230 went all the way down to 187 and he's still kind of there right now now here's what I'll say about this that both scaggy SBC is cool right now but for some of these cards like a Lucas Hernandez we've got Bundesliga Tats that is not very far away I picked a couple of these up if he's actually as rare as foot Ben says he is then I should buy more of these but there's a decent amount of these backup at 200,000 coins I was trying to pick these up in the low to mid 180s and I did snag one I think at like 184k I thought that was pretty cheap now I think some of these guys will bounce back a little bit right especially looking at that Cordoba card as I was just doing right now seeing 850k for this seems ridiculously cheap why would you panic sell a 900,000 coin centerback for a 23,000 coin centerbacks SBC that I don't really believe in so that's why on a rare card that is popular and meta like a Cordoba like this you know an 840 like on this bid right here I would buy that if that comes back around and I'm able to bid on it you know I think that I would be able to sell this Cordoba over 900,000 coins most likely today Kim Pembe right another French center back we're like Nate are people actually selling Kim Pembe to go and get this SBC the answer is yes I mean the answer is look at Kim Pembe Kim Pembe was 450,000 coins on the weekend and a new French centerback SBC comes out and this dude's 3 375 380 that's ridiculous man and this card is still one of the most meta and overpowered centerbacks in the game I also think that PSG links are not hurting at the moment but they're just not as popular so that's why a card like this Kim Pembe I'm keeping him in my radar as well if you're going to buy any of these centerbacks and hope for a bounce back later on basically what you're hoping for is just that both scaggle card to kind of get forgotten about and as new cards come out and as the meta kind of returns people get coins later on in the week from the weekend the rewards then you would hope that a card like this just based off of rarity and the amount that it's dropped since he's down like 60K you would hope that he would bounce back from like 380 to like 425,000 coins and then it would be a good move right that's the sort of thing that we're looking for with some of these cards the more rare ones obviously are going to fluctuate better so that's kind of what's going on with the centerback market at the moment a lot of your your air divisi tots did really really well with that SBC dropping yesterday as well let me take a look at a couple of these of course you've got a nice green link and a tots card that a lot of people want to try out with Ibrahim Sangare he had the headliners earlier on this year I believe his tots card is 65,000 coins at the moment and he was like 50K yesterday before Balskagli came out and now this guy is 65K I think if you even take a look at the the wind all see there we go better pronunciation on the left back's name when doll yesterday was 23K rose up to about 29 and then exploded to about 40,000 coins when that Balskagli came out now he's back down to about 28,000 coins again which is very interesting because maybe he'll rise up a little bit more today maybe Sangare will rise up a little bit more as well he is 65K looks like that might have been a bit of an undercut but he's gone from like 50K up to 82 as a green link to Balskagli and still a really hype and usable meta card and now he's down a little bit more so you know maybe a few of these cards will rise up a bit today just with those links you know Anthony oh here's one I'll be very careful about I would be careful with timber because again he's kind of like again a substitute item he went from 160 where he is right now all the way up to 218 Balskagli came out and he's been dropping ever since because people are maybe selling this timber card to go and use Balskagli so it's again like a substitute type of item that was dropped on the market yesterday so just be kind of careful with those cards but I think you might see some some cards move a bit just because of the hype links and you know this Sangare card for me if he's like 62K then I will think about it I know I see those 64K undercuts right there but I think it's got to be a little bit cheaper for me because realistically does this guy go over 80,000 coins again today I would be surprised if he did because again like I said I just don't know how much team building and team buying there's going to be on the market today with how things are shaping up with the reward structure and everything along those lines so I'm going to probably keep it pretty chill with some of these cards now if I see a Cordoba 840 like I mentioned I'm going to try to get a quick flip off there there's 850 flat so that's kind of low maybe on some of these other center backs I'll keep an eye on their prices and a couple other AirDivisi cards as well but like I said I'm going to keep it pretty chill I'm going to have to get the club stock with some rare golds because I'm ready to do some player picks today now other content that we might see today on Monday there's still potential for a guaranteed team this season let's talk fodder for a second I know a lot of you guys like Nate talk about fodder please what should I do with this stuff yesterday we had the icon moments upgrade pack which it's an upgrade pack it is repeatable two times it just doesn't have as much hype as a player pick right we know that people love icon player picks in this game 560K it's got an 86% downvote and only a 14% upvote so people are not as big of a fan of this but guess what people are going to do it because there's not really that many other SBCs and this is like the only gamble pack that is out right now high rated fodder is what was required for this and if you guys bought any of the 88th if you club stock any of them I think that these cards are going to be in a cell in the next two or three days I don't foresee any other type of SBC coming out this week that will make your 87 plus cards rise that much higher yes I know Tony cruise is 24,000 coins and like Nate I'm making bank I bought this guy at like 18K on Saturday when he was at his absolute lowest a lot of these 88 rated cards were 18K to 19,000 coins on Friday night and Saturday now they're up to 24 25 if you don't want to hold on to them and continue holding on for them for like another week or two and wait for Premier League Tots then I think I think you could take a cell price or most likely just like they did on the weekend the ones that are in packs and all the 88 Rateds in general I think you're going to see their prices dropping off with even more packs are going to be open this Friday with the Premier League team the season items coming into packs people are going to open their saved up packs because that's where a lot of people open those they've been waiting to open their packs like some people open this past weekend but a lot of people are going to open this weekend as well so I think it's going to hurt to hire to your fodder for sure and yeah you know it will it go back to 18K it might not go that low it might go back to 20,000 coins but you know that's I think you could take the money on some of these cards if you want to right Lewandowski was like 47K he's now 55 Harry Kane was like 32K he's now 37 so that area of the fodder market I think is high enough to take the cash for a quick flip if you want to now this part of the market is looking ripe for picking 85 Rateds are back down to 7K 84 Rateds are 3.5K this is the opposite I think there is going to be demand this week for the lower tier side of the market because guaranteed Tots SBCs are still on our radar they have not dropped yet of course we do expect them to drop they have been added to the code we even saw new squad that rewards speaking of stuff added to the code I'm to cover that really quickly at the end of this video but I think that either today tomorrow they could drop a guaranteed Tots watch out for the leaks because I guarantee you a lot of guaranteeing going on right now I can guarantee you that you know foot share for those guys on Twitter are going to be talking about those guaranteed SBCs around the time they're going to go out they're going to get leaks at those cards are going to be added up and those SBCs not those cards but those SBCs are going to be added into the game before that actually happens so I think those are going to be I don't know it's really tough to say but once we see when they're going to be this week for the air divisi and community Tots guaranteed then we'll know going down the line how those guaranteed SBCs are most likely going to work out so a lot of question marks realistically on this market right now because of course it's the first week of Tots but like we know team the season is all based around a schedule so if we see how it works this week then we're probably going to get a lot of insight on how these cards are going to move and operate and stuff like that next week and in the weeks to come as we continue through every single week of team of the season and as we get brand new Tots cards and all that good stuff released in this game Oh last thing squad battle rewards if you guys have extra time this week and you like to grind squad battles EA has put red picks and basically packs that give you red versions of cards actually it's not a complete red version but you can see here there's a couple different things there's player picks for the red Tots cards depending on how high you have to get elite to get a community slash AirDivisit Tots player untradable there's no rating cap on elite three plus but if you get gold one it's max 90 I think the play is to get silver one because you get a max 90 overall player which could get you a guy like Timber Kaka Ray there's a lot of great cards that are 90 rated or below silver one's going to be really really really easy to do is going to take you more games this week and it wouldn't in weeks prior but like myself I need to get a few objectives games done for icon swaps or for like I need to finish the MLS foundations which expires really really soon but all I have to do is play five separate squad battles matches with some MLS players in my starting 11 and it's going to be worth my time to you know match up and against some lower-level teams and squad battles just because I get points towards extra awards and I'm completing objectives at the same time so it's if you haven't started your icon swaps yet or if you haven't finished them like I haven't here I'm still working on my first owner English doing those inside of this next week and maybe even the few weeks upcoming playing squad battles you do get a lot better of a grind a reward for your grind with those updated rewards so that's kind of everything going on a FIFA at the moment again I'm not expecting a huge market rise today I think just a little bit some cards will go up some but it's not going to be that drastic although you might be able to make some trades out of it but the big thing today is the upgrade packs and I'm really excited to see what EA drops because I want rips and packs and I want to pack some blues gotta get this tats counter sorted down below on the screen so we're going to do that very very soon but if you did enjoy today's video smash thumbs up on a comment now below if you have any questions and subscribe if you knew it's been native for the count and I'll catch you guys later


Why beekeeping is important? Beekeeping contributes to food security, nutrition, poverty elevation and economic growth. Bees provide us with a lot of products, most famous one for sure, the sweet honey. But it's not only the products, it's also the services which are of uttermost importance. Most important is the pollination service. This service is important for agriculture and food production. Another very interesting aspect is who can keep bees, practically everybody, because you do not have to be a landowner to be a beekeeper. Therefore beekeeping can be an important source to create income for smallholders, for women, even for handicapped people. Allow me to conclude and say beekeeping can contribute to the achievement of almost all sustainable development goals under Agenda 2030. FAU, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, is, as you might know, a specialized agency that leads the international efforts to defeat hunger and to improve food security. Beekeeping can contribute to these objectives and is therefore of high interest of the organization. You find activities in the whole house. For example, the colleagues who are specialized on plant production have a major area of work which is called the Global Action on Pollination Services for Sustainable Agriculture. They are also coordinating the International Pollinator Initiative. The colleagues who are specialized on livestock and domesticated animals just recently published guidelines on good beekeeping practices based on the One Health approach. And they are also supporting countries in monitoring the diversity of bees for food and agriculture by broadening the Domestic Animal Diversity Information System. This system originally allowed to store information on diversity of breeds. Now countries can also store information on diversity of bees, species and subspecies on the long term, allowing them to monitor the diversity of bees and to make informed decisions. Finally, I would like to mention the Research and Extension Unit of FAU, who is providing for countries the so-called TECA platform. TECA stands for the Acknowledges and Practices of Small Agricultural Producers. This platform contains several categories. One of them is beekeeping. And this unit also provides an exchange group on beekeeping where experts, scientists, practitioners can meet and exchange their experiences on beekeeping. Well, those are just a few examples on FAU activities related to beekeeping. There's much more to explore. I invite you to do this by visiting our specific webpages.


I had to stop and see the Kinko Tequina booth because they've got a monopod here that is so light.  But anyway, I have cornered Michael Burnham here to talk to me about it. Sure. Yeah, this is the Pro 382 CFL carbon fiber tripod. Very simple to use, four leg sections, three locks. So there you go. That folds it right up. Real simple. Unfolding it. Dust is easy. And what it does, it weighs less than 12 ounces. 12 ounces. And how tall is this? This goes up to, I believe this is 60 inches. Wow. So you can get a camera right at eye level, even before you put a head on it. You can put a head on it if you want. And just a super lightweight, very high quality carbon fiber made in a slick factory. It's not made in a subcontract or anything like that. So this is all slick design, patent pending on their leg grasps. So very. So you get something, normally the smaller the bikini, the more it costs, the lighter the tripod, the more it costs, right? Oh, absolutely. How much is this? This one's right now at the show today. This is going for $85. Normally it sells for about $110. Still, that's a crazy price. It's a crazy price for a carbon fiber tripod, yeah, because this is not regular metal here. This is actually something that they had to mix together, carbon elements, put it together in a furnace to make the tubing, all that. This is just beautiful. So that's the coolest practical thing, but now we're going to switch over to something impractical for my audience, but it's just so fun. We got to go talk to it. So what we're looking at here to those on the audio audience are giant bubble looking things with bright colors in the background and GoPro mounts on top. And I do not understand what these things even are. Okay. What these are for is, you see all those surf footage or surf photos where it's like shot within the barrel? So this is what they use. Oh. Okay. You see those surf photos where the wave is coming right up over the camera? This is what the photographer has. This looks like something out of a movie in the 1960s about going underwater, doesn't it? It does. It does. But what it does is AquaTech underwater housings are designed specifically for that type of surf photography and they have, basically, you have different backs. So you have a lot of control over the camera. You have a lot of control over your camera while it's in the housing still. Holy cow. What kind of camera do you put in this? This one is specifically for the Nikon, this back in the shape for the Nikon D4. They have one for a D5, of course, and then also on the Canon side, the D1X and the other cameras. This is for the big guys and, of course, they have a variety of housings. This is all waterproof. It's good to a depth of one atmosphere. So it's why they refer to it as a sport housing and not an underwater housing. Okay. So this is not your scuba diving housing. This is not a scuba diving housing. Even though it looks like my head would fit in it. It does, doesn't it? Now the one on top's got a GoPro about it on the top. What the heck? You can put this on any one of the housings. What it is photographers like to do is while they're shooting stills, of course, you have like a 24 or 36 megapixel camera in there, they also like to do shots, they get GoPro shots of video of the waves crashing over them, things like that. So it's kind of doing double duty. This is just running video of what they're going through while they're shooting the still photos. Now this will be just for the comedy because I don't think my audience would buy these but how much is one of these got? Oh, this is actually a full set, let's say you want this whole thing, which would be the housing, the back, a port, and this runs about two grand. Oh, that's not as bad as I thought. They can run up to 2,500 depending on what port configuration you have and they have different gears so you can zoom a lens in here, right there. Your shutter button is here. They also have a pistol grip here, which is on this one. This pistol grip gives you two buttons, one is for focus and the other is for taking the picture. Plus, it can double as a helmet that you can wear for Halloween. That too. Alright, thank you very much Michael, appreciate your time. Thank you.


Welcome to the NTN Nightly. I'm Misha Charles. This edition stops stories. St. Lucia's Prime Minister and Chairman of Caricum, Hon. Alan Shastney, to lead the region's fight against blacklisting. The Ministry of Education and Care collaborate on providing additional opportunities to students. The ECCB offers technical assistance to improve competitiveness in the OECS. All that plus the latest in youth development, sports and the NTN Nouvelle Arquéole. St. Lucia's Prime Minister and Chairman of Caricum, Hon. Alan Shastney, will be leading the Caribbean community's response to the fiscal demands placed on member states by the international community. Of primary concern is the blacklisting of Caribbean countries deemed to have harmful tax regimes as recently determined by the European Union. This poses significant threats to Caricum countries which depend heavily on their financial services sector. Belize and Trinidad and Tobago remain blacklisted despite Belize's commitment to take corrective action by December 2019 and the fact that the government of Trinidad and Tobago lacks the parliamentary majority under the country's constitution to undertake the required legislative reforms. Antiquan Barbuda, Barbades, Dominica, Sincates and Neves, St. Lucia, the Bahamas and associate members Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands are on a grey list, a monitor and watch list. Caricum Secretary General, his Excellency Ambassador Irwin LaRocque maintained that member states have a sovereign right to determine their fiscal policy. The arbitrary impositions of rules by countries and groups of countries other than the OECD with respect to tax governance and anti-money laundering without meaningful consultation with the affected states is unacceptable. This is made even more insidious when similar action against larger economies has had to be withdrawn. Such behavior undermines global rulemaking and the multilateral system which we as small states depend on to ensure we have a voice. It is in the context of such a system that we welcome the election of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to United Nations Security Council. The Caribbean community has been reaching out to the EU members and to friendly governments to support and intercede on its behalf to halt the negative impacts of blacklisting which include reputational damage and an assault on the economies of member states which are focused on resilience building. On the 18th of February 2019, Romania's Minister of Public Finance invited Caricum Ministers of Finance to book arrest for dialogue on the issue. The community fielded a mission to Brussels the following day. St. Lucia continues to recognize growth in tourism arrivals in 2019. For the five-month period, January to May, the island recorded 185,568 stay-over arrivals, a 6.1% more than the same period last year which makes this the largest number of stay-over arrivals ever recorded in the island's history. The tourism climb is also taking place against increasing airlift to St. Lucia, more from Anicia Antoine. The tourism industry in St. Lucia continues to experience a steady increase in visitor arrivals in 2019. According to the Minister for Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, Culture and Creative Industries, Hon. Dominic Fede, the increase of 1246 airline seats has been instrumental to the growth in arrival figures. The minister informed that new airlift will also be added in December this year. We are getting ready to accept the American Airlines expansion into the Chicago market which would have given us increased capacity in that area significantly in addition to the United Airlines flight. So that is all good news and we anticipate that our forward bookings are going to be very strong. The minister highlighted the ongoing efforts being taken to maximize economic penetration and to ensure that St. Lucia remains competitive. You would have seen the renovation of the market preparatory stage which has already commenced. You would have seen the relocation of the vendors. We would have trained about 200 vendors to be part of this new initiative that we are doing to ensure that we can advance greater economic penetration in the sector. We are opening up new beaches all over the island to make sure that we better manage the capacity of cruise ship passengers. Minister Fede informed that the government is better in conditions in the city of castries due to the steady increase of cruise ship visitors. There's still a long way to go in terms of how we manage the flows of people from one part to another. We are also in the process of pedestrianizing the William Peter Boulevard and as well working on some logistics in the city of castries to ensure that we better manage the traffic flows when there are very heavy cruise ship days so that we can have a better intermingling of tourism and local residential coexistence in the city centre. Third year today, tourism arrival figures suggests that there is a steady increase of approximately 6%. From the Government Information Service, I am Anisia Antwan reporting. The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development is expanding its relationship with the Centre for Adolescent Renewal and Education Care. As we hear from Janelle Norville, the Centre has agreed to accept students who perform below average at the common entrance examinations with the objective of providing them a second chance. On the heels of the announcement of the common entrance examination results, the public was urged to refrain from becoming exam focused. Minister for Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development, Honourable Dr Gil Rigabet indicated that while results are significant, there are even more pressing matters requiring attention. Dr Rigabet highlighted a significant development to be fully implemented in September 2019. That is an opportunity for remedial intervention for those students who have not performed at the expected level. I want to thank Care headed by Dr Mason for that collaboration where the Care Institute will accept some of our students who have capitalised on the opportunity that we have created for that kind of intervention, maximising on the well-established approaches and successes at Care. I want to encourage parents to embrace that opportunity. I know sometimes we like to bracket students. We are quick to indicate what they cannot or cannot do. The Care Success story is that regardless of where you are upon entry, that Care can make a success story out of you. Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development, Michelle Charles recently announced that the Centre for Adolescent Renewal and Education, Care, agreed to accept 50 of the students who obtained between 9 and 30% in the 2019 common entrance examinations and allow them to follow the Junior Life Program at the Care Institute. The Minister for Education also urged parents to take advantage of the opportunity for the Government Information Service, I am Genelle Norville. The World Bank Group has been invited by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, ECCB to provide technical assistance to address regulatory issues within the OECS countries. This is in an effort to improve the investment climate and enhance competitiveness of key sectors in an effort to enhance private sector investment in the OECS. Two technical officers from the World Bank Group were recently on island to conduct a scoping mission as part of an advisory project which seeks to address regulatory constraints within the OECS. One of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank Strategic Goals 2017-2021 is to support OECS member countries to rank in the top 50 in the World Bank Doing Business Indicators. Lars Graver is the Senior Private Sector Specialist with the World Bank Group. We have been invited by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank to look at some of the regulatory procedures and regulatory constraints that affect doing business and private sector development in several of the OECS countries. We have been visiting a couple of your neighboring countries and speaking with both the public and the private sector in order to get a more complete picture of what are the challenges that businesses face when they interact with government and learning more about perhaps where we can lend a hand in providing some international good practices and some advice for reforms that these countries may want to undertake. The National Competitiveness and Productivity Council, NCPC, has been instrumental in coordinating the St. Lucia leg of the visit of the World Bank officials. The director of the NCPC, Fiona Hingson, explains. So our role as NCPC is basically to facilitate that process, that public-private dialogue process where they meet with stakeholders within the public service and the private sector as well. And many of the constraints identified included starting a business, getting licenses, accessing concessions as well as constraints that the private sector have, especially when it comes to exporting the products in relation to certification and standards. Hingson noted that this project fits perfectly with the mandate of the NCPC, particularly as it relates to the ease of doing business agenda. Addressing those regulatory constraints definitely impacts on the business performance, so it helps them to become more productive and it also helps them to remove the bottlenecks that they experience on an everyday basis so they can become more efficient in the business operations. The World Bank senior private sector specialist said recommendations emanating from this project would include long-term, medium-term and short-term solutions. People are very interested, especially in short-term solutions, what we call stroke of the pen reforms, where a leading officer can simply by stroke of the pen decide that this procedure is going to be made faster or this information is going to be posted on the website. So these are the short-term recommendations that we can provide and on which government can quickly take action. Then there are the longer-term solutions where we may suggest well, your legislation could be improved in order to be in compliance with international best practice, but we recognize that that may take a longer time. The solution leg of the World Bank project dubbed improving business regulations within the OECS for increased competitiveness was conducted July 1st to 2nd 2019. For the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council, Glenn Simon reporting. And this is the NTN Nightly. Ryan O'Brien is up next. One of the eight university-recognized rights of the consumer is the right to be heard.

We join Ryan O'Brien for the latest happenings in youth development and sports. Thanks, Misha. Welcome everyone to your update from youth development and sports on the NTN Nightly News. I'm Ryan O'Brien. Winners of the CARICOM 10K held here in St. Lucia, organized by the CARICOM Secretariat in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports have spoken about their experiences during the 2019 staging of the event. The Vincentian pair of Junior Ashton and Linda McDowell were overall winners in the male and female categories respectively. The event was good weather and everything. It was very good. I enjoyed it. What was your strategy going into the run? Were you able to assess the feel even before the start? Well, my strategy was to... My strategy was when the start was to just go to the guys and just hold it there and 8K. I was supposed to just go in the lead from there and accelerate but it happened so when you have a plan B, plan A you must have a plan B. My plan changed in the race because the anti-gun guy made me have to change my plan. I make my move at 7K. I have to make my move at him early and I just stay in the lead from there. Were you familiar with many of the competitors in the race? How often have you all competed against each other? Well, I never really competed again. Only the Lucia guys are familiar with Winsport and Dupri. The only two are familiar within the race. The other guys was Junior Athlete. Here's the first male finisher, Junior Ashton, as he spoke to the NTN Knightley. Female winner Linda McDowell has dominated the event in the recent past, copying her fourth title. It was a really cool route. It's just that I just started recovering from the flu so I had to give it the best that I can. Compared to the other territories in which you had to run, how do you compare this route? It's basically a very flat one.  Most of this was a lot of flat, a lot of corners, a lot of bends. It was a pretty cool route for us. And your other competitors that you're up against, I'm sure you're quite familiar with most of them? Yeah, most of them. How long have you been running and what's your experience like in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for running, especially among women? Well, I'm the top female distance runner in my country and I've been running since I was a little girl. Karikom Tenke, female champion, Linda McDowell. Karikom Secretary-General Irwin Lerocke has underscored the importance of the Karikom Tenke saying that it sends a strong signal to member states that it is crucial for their populations to continuously be aware of healthy lifestyles in combating non-communicable diseases and the seriousness of staying active. We have to keep on promoting a healthy lifestyle. The incidents of NCDs seem to be on the rise. I don't have the exact figure, but... and I know we also celebrate Karikom Health Week, I think, on Wellness Day. And again, I've witnessed that in some of the member states. Karikom Wellness Day also exhibits, also has some athletic walks and stuff. I'm encouraged doing walks. I try to walk every day, I don't always get to it, but even if you could just do ten minutes, the doctor told me four times a week minimum. It doesn't have to be anything strenuous, but just to keep your heart pumping, it helps because especially as you get a little older and you begin to realize that you're paying for all what you may have done as a youth, I think it is very, very, you must do this. And as I said, the incidents of persons with younger and younger people are now having diabetes and we seem to be consuming so much of these sweet boxed drinks and corn curls when I see all the lovely fruits here. When I came in yesterday, I went to the store market, I got my bananas, I got my mangoes. We have to eat our fruits, we have to live a healthy high stat and we have to keep on promoting it, but I know it's receiving the attention of the health ministers across the region and certainly the heads of government, the heads of government have made a declaration on non-communal diseases and continues to receive reports. The last heads of government meeting in Grenada, we had a special session devoted to that, I think that was about a year and a half, about two years ago. So we're working on it. The CARICOM Secretary-General also noted that there was increasing awareness among the grouping that make up CARICOM on the need to maintain a focus on health issues within the individual territories. And that's how we wrap up our segment from youth development and sports for today. I'm Ryan O'Brien. Thanks Ryan. The ambassador of the Kingdom of Norway through the organization of Eastern Caribbean states, OECS, her Excellency Ingrid Molestad presented her credentials to the Director-General of the OECS, his Excellency Dr. Didikus Jules on Monday, July 1, 2019 at a ceremony held at the OECS commission at 1.4 Turing cash trees. Ambassador Molestad outlined several avenues of cooperation that Norway is keen to explore with the OECS, especially in the area of marine management biodiversity preservation, the effects of climate change, and the elimination of marine litter. Both parties agreed to work as expeditiously as possible in pursuit of common objectives and deepening relations. And stay with the NTN Nightly.

Mr. Parmus Hutchinson. This way, I continue to experience and honor the quality of the tourists I visited for the past six months I have come to see this recorded 185,678 stars visiting the Equestria Hotel. hotel. That was 60.1% plus the same period that last year. Saturday, it's the largest limo tourist that I have registered to stay in the country in the history of tourist affairs. After that, the total population of 24.8% and 2.2% of the limo tourists went to England in the past week. During that time, the population of Germany increased by 6%. The city of England, Laplace, Lattea, increased by 6.3%. The population increased by 12.4% for the first time in the year. And I agree that this activity was important for the park. The caribbean area was divided into parts so that no more than 5.5% increased by 2,732 people visited. I agree that this activity was spectacular and the most travel of the caribbean was among others. As a result of that, the total population of 24,354 tourists visited was more than 6.4% that last year. So, in 2019, I was able to find more than a year, just as I was able to find more than a year to live here. That's because I came to work, but I was able to accomplish more than I already had. That's because of the limo tourists that I visited this year. I have a concept that I also want to implement, like the tourist authorities, that I hope for more tourists to visit. That's for Carnival, Mocky Refest, Expectac, Roads and Soul. The authorities have continued to present this activity to the country so that we can have 15 different ways to have fun and enjoy, and for the citizens of the tourist area to visit this place. The residents of Carnival Village are now able to develop their skills, to have the advantage of working at Avilab, as I have found in the establishment that I have built this village to help address this ability. This initiative has made it possible for us to work harder, so that we can teach the youth and adults in the Carnival Village the opportunity to serve as a computer to facilitate the different ways of employment among others. Directed by Elevation, the Minister of Education, Léonel Marseille, to the residents of Corpoanqui, so that we can place ourselves in the right position to advance our ability to develop a diverse product that will help us improve our lives, and at the same time contribute to the economic development of the village. Léonel Marseille, as I have found in the establishment that I have placed myself in the right position, it is even necessary for the land to be able to be educated, so that we can complete the work of the village. I also want to take this opportunity to participate in the Artic Universe, so that I can be able to do the quality work of the village, so that we can place ourselves in the right position, so that we can have the technology that Avilab, so that we can be able to engage in diverse tasks, so that we can be able to work in the right position. I am also an initiative of the Cuba Nation, which I have given the opportunity for the adults to be able to do diverse tasks, so that I can be able to establish a program that will be able to pay for the land. I also want to add that the Minister of Tourism, Dominic Fede, has mentioned that innovation is not only for the people of the community, but also for the people with disabilities, because it is also important to be able to provide services to the people with disabilities. I also want to абсолютно clarify the opportunity to participate in the Artic Universe, so that we can be able to have a better understanding of the health care of the people, but also to allow them to be able to be able to contribute to the people who are adapted to the economy and to be able to serve the village. I also want to thank the Minister of Tourism, Dominic Fede, in the village of Canarii. The chief secretary of the Karikom, I would also like to welcome the members of the private sector of the civil society, to deliver this to the members of the community of this past week. I would also like to welcome the private sector of the regional sector, which I have designated as an institution of the Karikom community and I hope that it will be finalized by the end of the year. This institution is established mainly to support the implementation of the CSME. The chief secretary of the Karikom of the private sector of the CSME has continued to open the development facility to this day. The chief secretary also agrees with the organization of the work of the association to open this facility for the organization of the private sector of the Karikom. I would also like to invite the Chief Secretary of the CSME to take this opportunity to present it to you. I would like to thank you, P.L.
