seems like it was one of those slow "let's chase a joneser" Mondays, where the officer chased the culprit some distance before getting entangled in a street scuffle with him. While the culprit seem to have the upper hand through most of the ordeal and until the security officer intervened, the officer would still not have been able to apprehend him because he , apparently, dropped his handcuffs some distance away and/or had to go to retrieve them or borrow a set from another officer. Simply amounts to poor judgement of the part of the officer and understimating the strength of the 'joneser'

Opioids is described as heroine in pill form and while President Trump is seeking to blame the addicts, many believe it is the fault of politicians who colluded with pharmaceutical companies and approved drug after drug after drug. Now many of the drugs are being manufactured in some street dealers garage and since the actual content of the pills are unknown, even a single pill can lead to death. Bahamians are not killers by nature and that is why it is so patently important to find who is really driving the murders of mostly young men in this country. This can only be done when the detection rate is improved and persons accused of murder get a fair and speedy trial. Too many persons accused of murder in this country claim their innocence but are murdered before they get their day in court. Is this a way of protecting the real killers in this country and allowing them to continue with their dastardly deeds?

400 persons have died from opioids overdose or poisoning if Florida this year. This is a new epidemic in the US. Started in the Midwest and has now made its way to Florida. Imagine if it hits the Bahamas.

throw the baby out with the bath water damnit!

Can all of BoB's woes be attributed to toxic loans and government interference or is there something going on in the banking industry itself that, too, is having an impact on the bank's bottom line. While Fidelity Bank and Commonwealth Bank seem to have become cash cows for shareholders over the past few years, Royal Bank and Scotiabank's performances in the Bahamas has been less than satisfactory. RBC (local) has been cutting staff, outsourcing tasks, closing branches, cutting back on services even to the point that some customers claim they spend up to three hours in line at some branches to get service. And even then they are told they cannot be served or have to return with certain documents. Some customers complain that credit cards have expired for weeks and they cannot get a replacement from RBC. Even on the business side RBC services is reportedly severely lacking. Customers claim that deposits are taking two to three days to be posted to their accounts. This is in turn creating problems who may have tight cash flows are checks are hitting the bank before deposits are posted. This results in the businesses being charged over limit fees or even checks being returned. Then there is the compliant that RBC is increasing its interest rates on customer loans. While their interest on many fixed deposits remain at zero, yes no interest is being paid, some customers indicate that the interest rates on their commercial loans have increased to 12 %. The key behind Commonwealth and Fidelity's profitability seems to be not only loans that are performing within industry standards, but streamlined and efficient operations that are more customer friendly than RBC or Scotiabank.

"While technological developments will cause greater automation, a decrease in headcount or slow growth in hiring in some areas, it will actually create a lot of jobs too, according to Manpower.

But the key to this is to make sure the world's workforce "upskills" to be qualified enough to take on new positions. Companies need to invest in their workers to make sure they are not being left behind.

"We are seeing the emergence of a Skills Revolution — where helping people upskill and adapt to a fast-changing world of work will be the defining challenge of our time. Those with the right skills will increasingly call the shots, create opportunities and choose how, where and when they work," said Jonas Prising, Chairman & CEO at ManpowerGroup."

The country is still on the road to record 135 murders in 2017. And, unfortunately, if nothing changes, more killings will occur under the new administration than under the previous government. Thus far no effort has been made to reach to young males, to educate them about the dangers against their lives, when they make wrong decisions and even to get feed back as to what they perceive to be the causes of so many murders each year for the past 12-13 years. There only seems to be police interaction with these young men and by that time it's because there is another dead body discovered.

You are like whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside but full of the bones of the dead inside and everything unclean.

If Obama doesn't d not bail out the US Banks and auto industry, where would America be today? O ye hypocrites!
