Quotable Quotes

| "Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board." |

Cuba has carried out 5,000 kidney transplants
|

Cuba has carried out nearly 5,000 kidney transplants since the beginning of the programme in the 1970s, Prensa Latina news agency reported.
This was a great achievement for Cuba's health sector, said Alexander Marmol Sonora, a senior official of the ministry of health's National Transplant Organisation.
The majority of kidneys used for a total of 4,489 transplants came from deceased donors and 383 from living donors, Marmol told the Granma newspaper.
He said there needs to be an increase in kidney donations 'as the only way to guarantee the systematicity of the programme' given that four people could be saved by every donor. |

The Caribbean is certainly a mecca for tourists, but it is far more than that for the locals that inhabit the islands. It is a way of life, and like any community there�s always something going on. The Caribbean Herald is a newspaper covering all the major
news stories happening in and around the Caribbean.

Whether your fare is travelling the Caribbean or travelling the world, the Caribbean Herald covers it all. Regional news, local news and international stories. The Caribbean Herald also updates global markets, provides regular news polls, and presents live weather forecasts for key locations.
The online newspaper is a favourite with locals, ex-pats and frequent visitors to the islands. The fascination the world has with the Caribbean is captured by the Caribbean Herald. |

It is not often we review a hotel of this size, or of this budget range, so it was a welcome change to report on the Sweet Home...
