Possible Dumbest Criminals???

The Atlantis Resort only have 3.45 gazillion cameras and THAT's where you decide to rob?

Apparently 3 men were involved in a robbery attempt at Atlantis in an employee only area.  Police say they arrested the men after they entered the cashiers cage and attempted to steal money after spraying what many think is pepper spray. Security officers and locked down the area and the men were arrested. Atlantis says 16 people were taken to hospital after being exposed to the noxious substance--which many are saying was pepper spray.

Scouts of The Bahamas embrace The International Day of Peace

The United Nations devotes The International Day of Peace to strengthen the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.  The day also hopes to build sustainable peace throughout the world and promote sustainable development throughout the world to reduce conflict. The day is also set aside for introspection on how every can personally contribute to paving the road to a sustainable peaceful future. 

Scouts around the world took the day a step further and launched a social media campaign to get 10,000 scouts around the world say how they are going to make changes in their own corner of the world. 

Two Bahamas scouts--Queen's Scout and Asst. Leader of the 4th Bahamas troupe and Benjamin Moultrie-Grant--talked to ZNS about how they are embracing the day.

Towards the ideals of peace

Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.

Sustainable Peace...

This year, world leaders, together with civil society, local authorities and the private sector, met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development to renew political commitment to long term sustainable development.

It is in the context of the Rio+20 Conference that “Sustainable Peace for a Sustainable Future” is the theme chosen for this year's observance of the International day of Peace.

There can be no sustainable future without a sustainable peace. Sustainable peace must be built on sustainable development.

...From Sustainable Development...

The root causes of many conflicts are directly related to or fuelled by valuable natural resources, such as diamonds, gold, oil, timber or water. Addressing the ownership, control and management of natural resources is crucial to maintaining security and restoring the economy in post-conflict countries.

Good natural resource management can play a central role in building sustainable peace in post-conflict societies.

...For a Sustainable Future

The International Day of Peace offers people globally a shared date to think about how, individually, they can contribute to ensuring that natural resources are managed in a sustainable manner, thus reducing  potential for disputes, and paving the road to a sustainable future, the "Future We Want".
