Officers of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) Community Relations Department, Central Division, rescued a crying baby who was hidden in some bushes in Freeport on Thursday morning (19th November 2020). According to reports, several Officers including WPC Cuffy-Joseph, PC Ramnath and PC Mohit, responded to a call around 10:45am from the Police Command Centre. They proceeded to Beaucarro Junction, Freeport, where they met a member of the community who had reported that he heard a baby crying in the bushes. The Police Officers soon discovered the baby hidden in the bushes. The baby, a girl, wore a pink outfit, and was found lying on her back. The EHS was contacted and with the assistance of the Police Officers, rushed the baby to the Couva Health Facility. The baby was handed over to the doctors. The baby, according to the doctors, appeared to be healthy, although she seemed to be dehydrated. The baby was kept at the medical facility for further examination. Investigators are now searching for the parents of the infant. Anyone with information is asked to call the Police at 999 or contact the Chaguanas, Freeport or Couva Police Stations or the Child Protection Unit Central Division at 679-0407 or 486-3828.

Businessman, Derek Chin, said in a statement this morning (Friday 20th November 2020) that weeks of intense negotiations with the landlord of Price Plaza Mall to resolve the status of MovieTowne Chaguanas, proved futile and as a result, a final decision was made to close the branch - permanently. All their assets and presence from Price Plaza Mall will be removed. Last week, Chin said he told the landlord of Price Plaza Mall that he could no longer afford what was being charged and asked for an adjustment on the rent. He was hoping for a positive outcome. Chin had previously characterized the landlord as being “difficult” to deal with. Chin re-opened his two (2) other MovieTowne branches last Tuesday, at C3 Centre in South and MovieTowne Mall in Port-of-Spain, after the green light was recently given by Prime Minister Keith Rowley, for operating cinemas at 50% capacity. In his statement, Chin apologized for the decision and thanked Central and Chaguanas patrons for their support over the last ten (10) years and assured they will be looking at “alternative possibilities” in the future.

Google Photos is the home for more than 4 Trillion photos and videos and a remarkable 28 Billion new photos and videos are uploaded every week. However, many users of this very popular service will soon need to look at other alternatives for their unlimited free storage needs. Starting 1st June 2021, all new photos and videos backed up in High quality in Google Photos will count toward the free 15 GB of storage that comes with your Google Account or any additional storage you may have purchased, the same way other Google services like Google Drive and Gmail already do. All photos and videos you back up in High quality before 1st June 2021 are exempt from this change and will not count toward your Google Account storage. This includes all of your existing content uploaded in High quality. We launched Google Photos more than five years ago and since then, it's become more than just an app to manage your photos. It's become a place you go when you feel nostalgic and want to reminisce. Today, Google Photos is the home for more than 4 trillion photos and videos, including yours, and a remarkable 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded every week. In order to welcome even more of your memories and build Google Photos for the future, we are announcing a change to our storage policy. Do I need to do anything right away? No, you can continue to use Google Photos to back up your photos and videos. After 1st June 2021, Google will reach out and send reminders when you are nearing your storage limit. Most users will have years before they need to take action. When will I reach my free 15 GB of storage? Google Photos created a personalized estimate that shows how much time you have until you reach your quota. This estimate takes into account how frequently you back up photos, videos and other content to your Google Account. What can I do to manage my storage? On 1st June 2021, Google Photos will be launching a new storage management tool which will help you easily find and delete dark, blurry, and otherwise unwanted content. You can also purchase more storage with Google One where available. We are grateful that you choose Google Photos to safely store your memories. This change enables us to keep up with the growing demand for photo storage and remain focused on building Google Photos for the future.
