THE EDITOR: The Royal Air Force Association (RAFA) expresses sincere condolences to the family of retired Maj Gen Ralph Brown on his passing.
Brown gave full support to RAFA and the TT Federation of Veterans Association (FVA) and was instrumental in seeking to resolve a lease dispute at 20 Queen's Park East, a site designated for the construction of a military veterans complex, a vision and legacy which was embraced by patriots the late Justice Ulric Cross and Capt Esmond K Farfan.
Brown was a true man of service to his family, representing his country, his fellow men and others as he laboured tirelessly throughout his lifetime in dedicated national and international relations.
RAFA will continue to pursue the quest to achieve this goal and will dedicate a section of the building in his memory as a recognition for his allegiance to his country.
May his exemplary contributions to society be reflections of a true man of service.

(Reuters) – Novak Djokovic still feels inspired by Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, the men’s world number one tennis player has said, adding that the rivalry between the so-called ‘Big Three’ is a great promotion for the sport.
The “GOAT” (greatest of all time) debate in men’s tennis has divided opinions in the last decade and still remains a hot topic as the triumvirate continue to dominate the field, sharing the last 13 Grand Slam titles among them.
Federer, who will be 39 in August, leads the race with 20 Grand Slam singles titles, with Spaniard Nadal close on his heels with 19.
Both of these guys are legends,” the Serb told Tennis Channel.
Djokovic has previously said he believes he will win the most Grand Slam titles and become the longest-reigning world number one by the time he retires.

Before the release of the surveillance video by GBI, footage from a witness’ camera phone showed Brooks and the two officers getting into a scuffle on the ground.
While Atlanta police claimed Brooks pointed the Taser at one of the officers as he ran, many, including former Georgia candidate for governor Stacey Abrams, pointed out that a Taser is not a deadly weapon.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) announced Thursday evening, the launch of an independent investigation into allegations of prevarication against its president, Nigerian Akinwumi Adesina, the only candidate for re-election to a new term.
“The Board (of Governors of the AfDB) agreed to authorize an independent review of the “whistleblowers’ “allegations” against Mr. Adesina, according to a statement the Board’s bureau chairperson, Nialé Kaba, made at the end of a new meeting of the Board’s bureau on Thursday.
The charges were outrightly refuted by Mr. Adesina, 60, the first Nigerian to head the AfDB since its creation in 1964, who has repeatedly claimed his “innocence” and was quickly exonerated by the Bank on the basis of a report by its internal ethics committee.
“Mystification and Smoking”
\tBut the United States, the AfDB’s second largest shareholder after Nigeria, demanded at the end of May that an independent investigation be launched, calling into question, in a scathing letter from US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the work of the ethics committee, and provoking a serious crisis in the pan-African institution.
“Considering the scope, seriousness and accuracy of the allegations against the Bank’s sole leadership candidate for the next five years, we believe that a more thorough investigation is necessary to ensure that the AfDB president enjoys the full support and confidence of shareholders,” Mr. Mnuchin wrote.
