After the Storm: Unity in Action with Hurricane Melissa

Image
Kerwin here — real talk. When a monster like Hurricane Melissa slams into a sister island like Jamaica, you don’t get to sit around and wait for someone else to fix things. You step up . You show up . You lift together . What happened Melissa came in hard. As one of the strongest hurricanes on record, she tore across Jamaica’s landscape — ripped off roofs, knocked out power for hundreds of thousands, turned towns into shock zones. Homes that once buzzed now sit hollow. Lives disrupted. Futures shaken. And I remember — strong flashback to when Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria carved chaos into my own time in Turks and Caicos Islands 2017. The winds didn’t discriminate, but what came after — the unity, the rebuilding, the refusal to let the storm define us — that was the difference. Unity is our power Here’s the truth: storms may smash our walls, but they also reveal our hearts. I see communities in Jamaica doing exactly what they do when times get real: neighbours checking on...

What’s Actually Coming Toward Earth in 38 Days? The Truth About 3I/ATLAS — and the Lesson Hidden in the Hype

Image
Let’s cut through the noise — the internet is losing its mind again. “ 38 days to impact! ” “ Astronomers baffled! ” “ Mysterious objects escorting a comet toward Earth! ” Sounds like a Netflix trailer, right? But what’s actually happening up there — and why should you , a grounded, goal-driven human, even care? Meet 3I/ATLAS — The “Alien Visitor” of 2025 3I/ATLAS (also called C/2025 N1) is an interstellar object — meaning it didn’t come from our Solar System. It’s only the third one we’ve ever spotted, after ʻOumuamua in 2017 and Borisov in 2019. It was discovered in July 2025 by the ATLAS telescope network , which is basically NASA’s early-warning system for “incoming stuff.” Now, headlines claim it’s “heading straight for Earth.” Reality check: it’s passing by — but still about 1.8 times farther away than the Sun is from us . That’s 272 million kilometers of space between us and it. Translation: it’s not crashing into your backyard, not even close. Why Scientists Are L...

Combermere 330: Time, Legacy, and the Spirit That Never Dies

Combermere 330: Time, Legacy, and the Spirit That Never Dies When we talk about greatness born in Barbados, you can’t have that conversation without mentioning Combermere School . For over three centuries , this institution has shaped leaders, legends, and luminaries — from artists and athletes to academics and activists. Combermere didn’t just educate minds; it built character, discipline, and that quiet confidence that says, “I was raised in the tradition of excellence.” Names like Sir Frank Worrell , Rihanna , David Thompson , and countless other changemakers have walked those halls, leaving behind a legacy of brilliance that echoes through every generation. Combermere isn’t just a school — it’s a movement. It’s where intellect meets integrity, and where ambition learns to dance with purpose. Now, as we celebrate Combermere’s 300th Anniversary , we’re not just honoring history — we’re honoring time itself . That’s why, for Combermere Week 2025 , I’m offering something truly spec...

Tech Under Siege: What Today’s Global Hacks Are Telling Us About the Digital Battlefield

Image
Let’s be real — the digital world feels like a war zone right now. And if you think your business is too small to be a target, you’re already in danger. Today alone, we’ve seen e-commerce systems exploited, corporate giants ransomed, and hackers launching attacks across borders like it’s a sport. Let’s break down what went down, what it means, and why you better start treating cybersecurity like rent — something you pay before it costs you everything. 1️⃣ Adobe & Magento Hit Hard — E-Commerce Platforms Breached A massive exploit just tore through Adobe Commerce and Magento systems worldwide. Hackers are using a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability to drop webshells — basically secret backdoors — into online stores. If you run an online business, that means hackers could literally walk into your website’s back office like they own the place. This isn’t a warning — it’s happening now. 👉 The takeaway: Patch your site, update your plugins, and stop assuming “the IT gu...
