I Traced My Great-Grandmother's Journey From The Bahamas To NYC — And Learned About My Own Roots In The Process
By Jada Gomez
My great-grandmother died before I was born, but I still feel like I knew her. Like many oral histories of Black families, which are passed down and preserved while told around the dinner table, her story was one that the women in my family kept alive when I was growing up in Queens, New York. The family matriarch on my mother's side, my great-grandmother has always had a mythical quality to her — like a character from Black folklore. Read more >>

BPL's Bills Blitz In Family Islands
By KHRISNA RUSSELL
Deputy Chief Reporter
krussell@tribunemedia.net
HUNDREDS of Bahamas Power and Light customers in the Family Islands could be left in darkness for failure to adequately pay their bills, beginning on March 15.
This decision, The Tribune understands, stems from frustration at the corporation that many customers across several Family Islands do not pay their bills consistently.
Among these, according to sources, is a vast cross section of customers in the MICAL constituency who have not made any payments to BPL for over a year.
BPL chairman Donovan Moxey confirmed the disconnections will start in a little under a month to accounts 60 days in arrears and owing $300 or more.
The company has undertaken a full-scale media campaign to advise customers that mass disconnections are coming. Read more >>

Extension confirmed for offshore Bahamas well commitment
(Map courtesy Bahamas Petroleum Co.)
DOUGLAS, UK – Bahamas Petroleum Co. (BPC) is set to gain an extension of its four southern licenses offshore the Bahamas until end-December 2020.
This follows a formal notification from the government in response to BPC’s request for clarification concerning the timing and work obligations for the permits, as a result of time disruptions outside of the company’s control since 2015.
BPC has a commitment to drill an environmentally responsible exploratory well, its first off the islands, and on expiry of the extension, will have the option to either apply for a production lease over all or part of the license area, or to extend the licenses into a third exploration period or apply for an appraisal extension.
Consultant Black & Veatch will assist with the planning process, and the company continues discussions with various companies on a potential farm-in for the initial well. (source)

Why Religion Is Ignorance
When someone sees a rainbow, do they say, “I am seeing a physical reaction, that can be produced in laboratories with the right conditions,” or do they say, “I am seeing the omen from god, that the world will not be flooded.”? When someone sees fire, do they say, “I am seeing the gift of Prometheus,” or do they say, “I am seeing the vibration of atoms”? The question here is: is this person irreligious or religious, scientific or un-scientific?
Thousands of years ago, our ancestors could not explain these things. What is fire? What is the sky? How did we get here? They became ignorant in their claims and created gods and spirits to answer their questions. “How did we get here? God made humans from the dust.” — “Where does lightning come from? Lightning is Allah trying to strike and kill people.” — “Where does wind come from? The god Purusa blew the wind out of his mouth.” — “Why does the Sun go across the sky? The god Apollo pulls it across on his chariot.”
So, you see, man formed his ignorance and conjured ghosts to his aid. Tyranny and vice would reign over the numerous theocracies that developed over the globe. Galileo would question what the religious men claimed; as would Giordano Bruno who gave his life for his beliefs, burned at the stake for questioning authority. Ferdinand Magellan’s voyage would make it all the way around the world. These men proved incalculable times that the church, the Bible, and religion is indeed fallible! Lightning is not the work of Allah — it is the work of positive and negative electrons. There are occurrences in this Universe and they are natural and explainable.
Religion is ignorance. Read more >>
