Extractions: Back to the Carib Aviation front page A Brief History Carib Aviation started in 1973 with a single 6-passenger Beech aircraft for the main purpose of transporting guests for the Coco Point Hotel between Antigua and Barbuda. The operation was known as "Barbuda Wings". This internal service did very well for the first two years. In fact, it did so well that a second aircraft of the same type was obtained and went into service in the second winter tourist season of 1975/6. It was at this point that the owners started to think about setting up their own maintenance arrangements rather than relying on LIAT engineers for their assistance on their own time. The airline rented space in the "Seagreen" hangar (Seagreen operated a single DC-3 freight aircraft) and hired a freelance mechanic. Up to this the airline had operated under a US registration because it was simple and only required an "A&P"-qualified mechanic to perform 100-hour inspections. It became clear that, if Carib Aviation was to continue operating within the British Caribbean, the aircraft would have to be registered in the State of Antigua and a more sophisticated maintenance arrangement would be required. A fully licensed engineer was therefore employed to accomplish this task.
Wine Of The Week - Otago Regional Wine Guide, New Zealand It has a remarkable history, not least because of its the planting going on in the region, is Pinot Chard Farm Gibbston Valley Wines Ltd nevis Bluff Vineyard http://www.wineoftheweek.com/regions/otago.html
Extractions: Otago has to be New Zealand's fastest growing wine region of the current era. It has a remarkable history, not least because of its rich gold mining heritage of the 'rush' years that started with the discovery of gold in 1861 by Gabriel Read. Where there is the lure of gold, there are thirsty miners so it is no wonder than Central Otago's first vineyard was planted shortly thereafter. Jean Desire Feraud, the first Mayor of Clyde, established his winery, which he called Monte Christo , in 1864. The building still stands today, although grapes are no longer grown on the property. Awards for his wines were won at exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne, as reported in the House (of Parliament) by the goldfields M.P., Vincent Pyke, in 1881.

Extractions: Brief administrative history The International Sanitary Bureau, precursor of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, was established by the First General International Sanitary Convention of the American Republics held in Washington, DC., in 1902. The Bureau, "according to the resolutions adopted", consisted of a board of seven health officials, residing in five countries, who were assigned the responsibility for the receipt and distribution of information on health conditions in the American Republics and to formulate sanitary agreements and regulations so that quarantine requirements would be reduced to a minimum in respect of cholera, yellow fever, bubonic plaque, smallpox and "any other serious pestilential outbreak". These functions and responsibilities were adopted both by the Second Conference of American States (1901) and by the First General International Sanitary Convention. Five other international sanitary conferences held in the Americas between 1902 and 1920 approved resolutions to the effect that the Bureau would undertake the investigation of outbreaks of communicable diseases, the facilitation of commerce through the improvement of sanitary conditions in the sea-ports of the American Republics, through sewage disposal, drainage of the soil, and the destruction of mosquitoes and other vermin. However, resources available at the time in terms of staff, office space, travel and other expenses were not appropriate to allow compliance with these Conference resolutions.
