\"Everybody on social media does just take everything for a joke.\" She said she did not get any useful information about her missing pet and is constantly at edge wondering if Peep is in pain or worse, dead.
\"Some people love materialistic things and they don't how to value life. I'm not looking for attention or fame, I just want my chicken back.\"
Khan said her mother has been a rock of support and even though she was at first sceptical about posting the missing poster on Facebook, she relented so that \"the person who took Peep will realise just how much that chicken is of value to me.\"
This newspaper decided to not use Khan's image to protect her from further trauma.
The soft-spoken woman was emotional and on the verge of tears as she recalled her time with Peep. She said her pet lived indoors, watched television, and was at her side for most of the day whenever she is at home.

On April 24, she let Peep outside to mingle with her companions, Springs and Browns, two other layers she bought to keep her beloved chicken company. Sometime between noon and 3 pm, Peep went missing and led to a frantic search in the rural community where hunting is a vocation. She could not find any feathers or even a trail of blood in the days that followed but still clings on to hope that someone stole her chicken and may have her pet alive in captivity.
\"Even if she is not alive, I still want her,\" Khan said. She said the first day without Peep was the hardest as she could not eat or sleep.
Every time Khan goes home she is reminded of the emptiness and silence without the happy chirping of her pet.
Last April, Khan was diagnosed with covid19 which knocked her off her feet.
She said Peep helped her cope during the pandemic an

TRINIDAD and Tobago WOMEN'S Under-19 cricket team will travel to St Vincent and the Grenadines to play Windward Islands women's Under-19 team in a five-match T20 series from April 14-19.
A media release by the TT Women's Cricket Association (TTWCA) on Thursday, said the tour will benefit the teams as they prepare for the upcoming West Indies Women's Under-19 competition in July.
The series marks the first bilateral women's Under-19 tour between the two territories.
The trophy the teams will be vying for is named after two former regional women's cricketers.
'To commemorate the occasion and in anticipation of an ongoing collaboration between the TTWCA and the Windward Islands Cricket Board (WICB), the teams will play for the Ann Browne-John and Nadica McIntyre (Browne-John/McIntyre) trophy.
'Trinidadian Ann Browne-John and Grenadian Nadica McIntyre have been two distinguished advocates and contributors to the development of West Indies women's cricket. Browne-John is still actively involved in cricket administration and is currently the lead selector for West Indies women. She is also a former West Indies player. Until her passing in 2017, McIntyre was a champion and administrator of women's cricket. She represented Grenada at the regional level.'
Cricket West Indies vice-president Dr Kishore Shallow is elated that the trophy is named after Browne-John and McIntyre.
He said, 'Women cricket in the West Indies has survived and advanced through the incalculable efforts of persons like Ann and Nadica. I am quite pleased to be associated with recognizing these two distinguished contributors to women's cricket.'
Browne-John said, 'I am humbled by this initiative of CWI and quite honoured to be recognized in this way, particularly with Nadica, who was a stalwart for women's cricket.'
CWI technical director Miles Bascombe is excited about the series. 'Windwards Cricket's continued emphasis on female cricket aligns with TT, hence the enthusiasm for this tour. I am sure there will be immense learning opportunities for these young players.'

WEST INDIES One-Day International (ODI) captain Nicholas Pooran believes the Caribbean team is still searching for the right formula to improve their dismal 50-over record against reputed cricketing nations.
The maroon play for pride in the third and final ODI against Bangladesh in Providence, Guyana on Saturday after losing their two opening matches owing to batting collapses.
Despite this being Pooran's third ODI series as the region's official white-ball captain, he thinks the squad is yet to find the right frame of mind to churn out positive results.
Although he started his ODI captaincy career with a comforting 3-0 series sweep of Netherlands, Pooran said the team is still on the hunt for a consistent winning approach.
During Friday's virtual pre-match press conference, the wicketkeeper/batsman knocked his team, and himself, for being unable to deliver improved results against higher ranked nations.
Batting, he said, continues to be their major downfall. At the two previous ODIs, WI lost the toss on both occasions and were sent in to bat first.
There, they were dismissed for paltry scores of 149 (41 overs) and 108 (35 overs) respectively, with the Bangladeshis sealing convincing wins.
'We discussed about batting 50 overs and the challenges of batting on a whole, regardless if you're batting first or second, just finding that way,\" Pooran said. \"In the ODI set-up, we're still a new team and a group of young guys still trying to figure out how we want to play this cricket.
'We need to assess conditions much better and decide what shots we're going to play on that wicket. We haven't gotten the answer yet so we're looking forward to (Saturday's) game.
'We're trying to assess as fast as possible how we want to go about batting on that wicket. We are playing for a pride but as a group we're looking to get better in this format,' he said.
Pooran stated there may be some changes to the final XI.
'We had discussions yesterday, one-on-one with the coach (Phil Simmons), and everyone has their individual plans. It's just to bat as deep as possible, try our best and find a way to bat on that wicket,' he added.
Pooran applauded the team's spin bowlers Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie, who made a positive difference with the ball in two past ODIs.
However, he said, the team's poor batting have placed bowlers under additional pressure.
'The bowlers have been doing a fantastic job and the spinners are doing well. But we're still in search of getting early wickets and in the middle overs. If we can tick that box it will be very helpful for us going into the next series (against India).'
'Understanding the lengths we need to bowl on these wickets, just assessing really fast. I think Alzarri (Joseph) bowled really well with the new ball in the last game. It's difficult defending 140 and 108.
'I can't fault the guys for trying and giving their best effort but it's a challenge for us. We have to learn as quickly as possible. I think this is a learning curve for everyone.
'It's definitely a chall

“GOLF OR cricket?” “Roti or doubles?” “Do groceries today or not?” Every day, we as individuals are faced with a multitude of choices from the very simple to the more complex. We make choices in every realm of life from work and school to family, relationships, and social activities.
Some studies even suggest that the average person makes an astounding 35,000 choices per day. Assuming that most people spend six to eight hours sleeping that’s approximately 2,000 decisions per hour or one decision every two seconds (Krockow, 2018).
Similarly, athletes are constantly faced with choices in both training and competition environments – “left or right?” “Fast pace or medium pace?” “Shot on or not?” “Sprint or jog?” “Short pass or long pass?” and the list goes on…Many of these choices are made quickly and instinctively and some require further contemplation and reflection: this mental process is known as decision-making.
So, are there internal and external factors that influence the decisions we make? The short answer is absolutely! The choices we make, particularly those that are made quickly and instinctively are as a result of the heuristics we would have developed over time. While the brain is a fascinating processor it is also one that works most efficiently, that is it always chooses the shortest route from A to B. Heuristics are one of the many ways the brain works efficiently to speed up the decision-making process.
So, what exactly are heuristics? A heuristic is a mental shortcut that allows individuals to solve problems and make judgments quickly and efficiently. They are designed to reduce mental effort needed to make decisions, simplify complex and difficult questions and are fast and accurate ways of arriving at conclusions. But like many other habits/practices in psychology there are drawbacks if we are not aware of the information, we are using to form our heuristics.
For example, if a junior athlete consistently trains with a coach that provides instruction every time, they are in a 1v1 situation rather than letting the athlete make the choice, eventually the heuristic they will develop will be to listen for an instruction rather than make the decision themselves.
As this athlete progresses from junior to senior level, inefficiencies would be noted in their decision-making and this might simply be due to the practicing of a poor heuristic. The beauty of mental skills is that they are malleable, and self-awareness is critical to identifying what some of our heuristic biases and blind spots might be.
So, what information do we use to form heuristics and what types of heuristics are there? There are four main types:
1) The availability heuristic: this involves making decisions based upon how easy it is to bring something to mind. For example, if you are thinking of trying football and suddenly recall of a number of recent football-related accidents you came across, you might feel like football is too dangerous and decide to play tennis instead. Because those examples of foo

THE star trio of Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine will no longer find it challenging to park at the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair.
Pollard, Bravo and Narine have all been given their own parking spots. The players are longstanding members of Queen’s Park Cricket Club (QPCC).
The Queen’s Park Oval Facebook page said, “Recognizing legendary homegrown Parkites…Kieron Pollard , Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine were presented with their own dedicated VIP parking spots at the Oval next to the Noel Guillen outdoor cricket nets.”
Pollard, Bravo and Narine have all had successful careers.
“From their academy days to playing club cricket for QPCC and then on to the international stages with Windies Cricket and Indian Premier League amongst other top class tournaments,” the Facebook statement said.
Pollard and Bravo both retired from international cricket recently, but continue to play T20 cricket around the world.
“Their career accolades provide enjoyable reading from an individual and team perspective and we can't be any prouder of their achievements over the years.
“We continue to follow the illustrious careers of these three men, who are, but only a tip of the iceberg of the legends that have come before them, as well as the current crop of veterans, promising youth and national players still coming through the club.”
Many other national and West Indies cricketers have played for QPCC. They include Brian Lara, Darren Bravo, Akeal Hosein, Khary Pierre, Jayden Seales, Joshua Da Silva and Shannon Gabriel.

MY yoga debut was a challenging one. My body was put to the test.
I was fairly athletic growing up, dabbling in many sports, including cricket, football, track and field and table tennis. I would also describe myself as an adventurous person, having attempted snowboarding, ice skating and jet skiing previously.
But although I'm a former top-order batsman in cricket, a midfielder in football and a 400-metre runner on the track, I would struggle as a child while stretching before a practice session or match. It was difficult for me to touch my toes or ankles without bending my knees.
So I am not surprised yoga was not a walk in the park.
At 36, my athletic career is on pause, apart from exercising around the Queen’s Park Savannah or Nelson Mandela Park.
Trying yoga was an opportunity to come out of my comfort zone – literally. As I wrote this story, two days after my maiden yoga experience, there was tightness in my legs.
[caption id=\"attachment_950640\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"768\"] Jelani Beckles attempts a warrior II pose during his debut in yoga at Naniki in St Joseph, Barbados, on Sunday. -[/caption]
My yoga debut was not in Trinidad, but in Barbados, at Naniki, a scenic venue which includes hiking. The yoga session was done on a balcony overlooking the beautiful hills in St Joseph Parish.
I was invited to Barbados by the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc along with other journalists, photographers, social media influencers and YouTubers for a week of activities in March.
The session, led by Marita Greenidge of Ekam Wellness, lasted about 20 minutes. Greenidge was supportive, encouraging me and a few other inexperienced participants. Greenidge is a certified yoga instructor.
The downward-facing dog, easy pose, plank pose, warrior II and the extended side angle were among the poses we tried.
The plank pose, warrior II and easy pose were among the manageable, but others were challenging. The poses that required you to keep your legs straight were tough.
My brave colleagues also made a valiant effort on the mat. Yoga is predominantly done by women, but in our small group two other men gave it a shot.
We also learnt about the importance of proper breathing while doing yoga, as it is imperative to know when to inhale and when to exhale.
[caption id=\"attachment_950643\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1024\"] Yoga instructor Marita Greenidge, right, shows Charlotte Wingham of TT a pose. -[/caption]
In an interview immediately after the session, Greenidge said, “For me, yoga is a way of life. I often say it is a metaphor for life. A lot of people, in the west particularly, think that yoga is just about the movement and the poses that they see, and really all those poses are meant to bring you to a place where you can sit in stillness. It prepares the body so it helps you get in a sense of balance, it strengthens all those weak areas so that you can just come to that point and sit in stillness so you can calm the mind.”
Greenidge said yoga helps people cope with life.
“Because of the mind aspect,
CRICKET West Indies (CWI) and the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will provide fans with further entertainment with The 6IXTY – Cricket’s Power Game.
The first edition of The 6IXTY will see men’s and women’s teams compete in a new 60-ball tournament featuring many of the best cricketers from around the world with SKYEXCH the title sponsor for 2022.
The 6IXTY will be played from August 24-28 at Warner Park in St Kitts, before the 2022 CPL bowls off on August 30.
The six men’s CPL teams will all play in The 6IXTY including Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR), Guyana Amazon Warriors, Barbados Royals, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, St Lucia Kings and Jamaica Tallawahs.
TKR, Royals and Amazon Warriors will feature in the women’s 6IXTY.
A CPL media release on Wednesday said, “This revolutionary format will see brand new innovations that will change T10 cricket and make the game even faster-paced and action-packed.”
Each batting team has six wickets – at the fall of the sixth wicket, they are all out.
The batting team has two power-play overs and they will be allowed a third power-play if they hit two sixes in the first 12 balls of the innings.
The extra power-play over can be taken at any time between overs three and nine.
There will be 30 balls bowled from one end of the wicket before the action switches to the other end for the final 30 balls.
The 30 balls will be delivered as five separate overs with no bowler being able to bowl more than two overs for the innings.
The teams will have to keep an eye on the clock. If teams do not bowl their overs within the allotted time, a member of their team is removed from the field for the final six balls.
Fans will be involved in the action as they will decide when a “mystery-free hit” takes place.

IN his final Indian Arrival Day message to the country, India’s High Commissioner Arun Kumar Sahu reminded the descendants of the journey of the struggle they endured “in building this rainbow nation of Trinidad and Tobago.”
Sahu said he will be returning to the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi, soon and expressed his gratitude to the country for the warm reception he and his family got, which, he said, “touched us.”
He said the pandemic stymied many plans he had for the country but through technology he was able to complete some of them.
“I could feel the energy within you and would, therefore, urge all of you, especially the younger generation, to take special care and make special efforts to be the agent of change and transmit the richness of your heritage to the wider world.\"
He reminded TT of the journey the first indentured labourers some 177 years ago, becoming an “inalienable part of the history of both our countries.”
“India treasures these historical, cultural, social and democratic bonds with the people and government of TT. Our shared history, culture and democratic values provide an enduring foundation for stronger relations for the mutual benefit of our people.”
Indian music, dance, art, films, festivals, Divali, yoga, Ramleela and cricket, he said, continue to play a seminal role in binding the two nations together. Sahu said his country, which celebrates its 75th anniversary of independence this year, has been a leader in addressing the pandemic and an inalienable force connecting the globe through information technology and artificial intelligence.
“India believes in togetherness. Keeping that spirit of togetherness in mind, on this occasion of the Indian Arrival Day, I wish all of you a better, brighter, healthier and prosperous future.”
