Prime Minister Keith Rowley recently promised the people of Laventille that the Government would find the money to develop the area and he made further statements about diversification, tourism and pan. He also expressed the opinion that the Panorama competition had outlived its usefulness and some other kind of initiatives were now necessary to maximise the potential of pan, especially in the context of the need for diversification. All this in light of the fact that three steelbands from the Laventille area had been very successful in this year’s Panorama.
Lloyd Best’s plan for pan is extremely relevant in the present context and can address three pressing problems simultaneously: community violence in areas like Laventille, school violence and underachievement, and diversification and export promotion.

WST famliy, you ever tried panting seeds on infertile land. We have good seed no doubt, but once it has to come out of Pan Trinbago under this present structure, it would never grow or bear fruit. hence the A to Z document. Mr. Claude said it is to long, but we will all agree it have plenty to change.
Br. Aquil with the little experience I had gardening at home, the first rule of thumb was to CULTIVATE the LAND, then plant the SEED. How do you change the culture in that environment? It requires change from the bottom up.
You don't have to go and plant peas in Tobago, you could start in the PANYARDS fertilizing the soil with management training, decision making and team building.
Aquil: I have a feeling that YOU and ME and two assistants could run the CIP and the ISF and Pan Trinbago without NO OTHER HELP. You sit down in South and I sit down in Northern California (we doh need no office -- just two OFFICIAL WEBSITES). And we doh need the whole ALPHABET to accomplish that.
You handle the LOCAL and I handle the INTERNATIONAL and we good to go!!!
Cecil will get vex because he thinks that you and him are the BEST PARDNERS on the forum but he doh know that YOU and ME tighter than ah cork in ah bottle ah Dom Perignon!
Without panorama, pan dead.
HEY PATRICK, U TOO??? man I'm disappointed in you, pan IS NOT DEAD, nor is it gonna be dead in our lifetime, its will be here for a long, long, loonng time after were gone, and future generations will rediscover it, in an attempt to pursue it's agenda, alleging that an alien had dropped it off, where we really are "Electrode Time Travelers on a journey through time" and that journey ends with death my friend,, so dead NOT GONNA HAPPEN...
Economy of words, Patrick!!! I like it!!!
"it is our intention to collaborate with the governing body."
If they are looking to collaborate with KEITH DIAZ and the GOVERNING BODY of PAN TRINBAGO -- they are done DOOMED already. There are THOUSANDS of EXPATS all around the globe who are DYING to assist in an effort like this and who could bring really good ideas to this organization. I saw the word "INTERNATIONAL" in the TITLE; that is supposed to mean something.
Look!!! Doctor Abdullah come on here and preach the gospel for them -- ah wonder if anybody understand it. And I don't mean the WORDS. I mean the PRACTICAL APPLICATION. They need some EXPATS on that BOARD!!!
DUMP DIAZ and PAN TRINBAGO and let us MOVE FORWARD!!!
They already have the experts/professionals on board, a lawyer, an economist, a pan scientist, a marketing specialist and CEO. I'm sure they know, what they don't know about PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.
odw, WHAT PAN SCIENTIST, CAN HE PLAY ONE OR MAKE ONE, y'all are enablers, that is Y the steel pan musical instrument is under SIEGE, the man is a PLAGIARIST, who infringe SNSE's/Williams Internally Designed Patent and U.S.Copyrighted, Technology, where he and the former late PM his cousin et al embezzled $90.9 million US dollars T&T's treasury, got caught went to trial where the LOST the claim when they failed to file a defense dead line March 26th 2014, fail to pay the claim, where two months later June 2014 to later manipulate the law, via "Obstruction of Justice" by their Judge Rodney Boodoosin, well it's not over until the fat lady sings, and in this case there's NO fat lady, which means that, there's 2 foreign syndicate who owns 49% shares of the 4ths & 5ths technology, who has already decided that they're not taking any prisoners, I hope you know what that means...
JJJ, Like the old folks say only TIME will TELL...I'm also mindful of those trying to exploit a persons TIME. I'm a results oriented person.
