The Bahamas has a population of approximately 330,000 people across 700 islands, though only 40 are populated. Voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services are provided through various programs like prenatal care, inpatient care, and home care services to promote privacy and decrease stigma. While acceptance of VCT is high among pregnant women, contacts, and prisoners, barriers still exist like stigma, waiting times, and a lack of dedicated VCT centers and counselors. Expanding access to VCT services in a private manner remains a challenge.

Book Review: Naturalist In Costa Rica
Alexander F. Skutch was an American ornithologist who spent most of his life studying birds in Costa Rica from a farm he purchased called Los Cusingos. He and his wife lived a reclusive life on the farm, collecting plants and growing their own food. Skutch became renowned for his studies of the breeding and life histories of many neotropical bird species. Living year-round on his farm allowed him to make many observations of nesting birds that other short-term visitors had not seen. His book A Naturalist in Costa Rica details his experiences over many years at his farm and other areas of Costa Rica, providing valuable information about the natural history and birds of the region.

The document discusses the occurrence of cyanobacteria in southwest Tobago, which has caused skin infections in people bathing in the affected areas. It has been seen covering the waters from Flying Reef to Castara since July-August 2010, most severely impacting Mt. Irvine Bay and Buccoo Bay. Cyanobacteria thrive in nutrient-rich waters, suggesting sewage or other domestic waste may be contributing to its growth. Its toxins can harm humans, fish and other marine life. Short term solutions proposed include closing beaches temporarily and increased water sampling and testing.
Of biodiversity climate_change_and_law
The document discusses three main topics: biodiversity loss, climate change, and environmental law. It notes that while humans have the biggest impact on the planet, we are not the center of it. Climate change poses a major threat that future generations will suffer from due to current inaction. It also discusses how ancient humans understood ecology due to their nomadic lifestyle, but settling into agriculture led to issues around ownership and laws that prioritized landholders over the environment. For the future, laws may need to change to consider the well-being of all versus private property rights if climate change threatens humanity.

The document discusses barriers to accessing hepatitis C cure for people who inject drugs in Australia. It outlines that people who inject drugs experience stigma and stereotyping that prevents them from seeking and completing treatment. While medication is now available, elimination of hepatitis C by 2028 will be challenging due to barriers like cost, lack of education, discrimination, and poor access to healthcare especially in Aboriginal communities where hepatitis C rates are highest. Peer-led organizations like NUAA aim to support patients through education and harm reduction to help more people access treatment.

Providing HIV Care & Treatment Services for Women & Families
Providing HIV Care & Treatment Services for Women & FamiliesElizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
1) Integrating antiretroviral treatment (ART) services into maternal and child health clinics improves access to HIV care and treatment for pregnant women. A study in Swaziland found more pregnant women eligible for ART initiated treatment when services were provided on-site rather than through referral.
2) Similarly, a study in Zambia found integrating ART into antenatal care clinics resulted in more HIV-positive pregnant women initiating ART during their pregnancy compared to the standard referral approach. Provision of on-site ART may be more effective than referral for linking infected women to treatment.
3) Challenges to fast-tracking pregnant women into treatment include weak referral systems between vertical HIV and maternal programs. IntegrEnvironment Tobago News September 2010

Inteview With A Farmer
Bertrand Bhikarry, a Tobago farmer and environmentalist, discusses the unprecedented bushfires in Tobago that have burned much of the landscape. He believes the fires are a result of a prolonged drought brought on by the El Nino effect, which meteorologists say will last 4 more years. This will devastate Tobago's biodiversity and agriculture. As an environmentalist, he advocates for balancing development with sustainable use of the land, and spreading agricultural pressures across the Caribbean region to protect small island ecosystems. He predicts that Tobago will become as dry as other Caribbean islands in the coming years unless action is taken.

- PAM has no real platform and relies on "fluff" rather than substantive policies or programs. They criticize the government but offer no meaningful alternatives.
- PAM leaders have sought and obtained foreign citizenship abroad, which could allow them a safe haven if the economy fails, unlike ordinary citizens who must remain. The government is strengthening laws requiring MPs to renounce foreign citizenship.
- PAM's constant legal challenges have further delayed elections and frustrated citizens, who are tired of the legal wrangling and want resolution rather than empty slogans like "Time for Change." Overall PAM

Environment TOBAGO is a non-profit environmental organization founded in 1995. It campaigns against negative environmental activities in Tobago through community outreach programs. The organization held an event on May 22nd to commemorate International Day for Biological Diversity, where over 60 people learned about Tobago's biodiversity. Environment TOBAGO also participated in Science Week in June and hosted a summer camp for children in July to promote environmental education.
Cocoa And Coffee
This document summarizes a needs assessment of the cocoa and coffee industries in Trinidad and Tobago. It finds that both industries are in decline and in danger of disappearing despite government efforts to rejuvenate them. Key recommendations include immediately liberalizing coffee trade and gradually liberalizing cocoa trade. It also recommends modifying cocoa quality and pricing systems, developing farmer associations, emphasizing extension programs, integrating market-oriented research, and conducting industry surveys. The assessment provides a historical overview and analyzes the organization, markets, production levels, stakeholders and government support structures for cocoa and coffee in Trinidad and Tobago.
Et Newletter June 2009
The document discusses a fuel cell, which generates electricity through a chemical reaction rather than combustion, producing only water as a byproduct. It describes the basic components and operation of a fuel cell, noting they were discovered in 1838 but are still not widely utilized in Trinidad and Tobago despite their potential for powering vehicles, electronics, buildings and off-grid communities. Examples are given of current applications including powering water heaters and a recent installation as an alternative energy source.
Rainforest Booklet Final Version
The Main Ridge Rainforest of Tobago is unique as it was once connected to South America millions of years ago, allowing plants and animals to migrate. It has been legally protected since 1776, making it the oldest protected forest reserve in the Western Hemisphere. This was due to the efforts of an English scientist and politician who recognized the importance of forests for rainfall. However, Hurricane Flora devastated 75% of the forest in 1963. While this was damaging, the forest has since recovered over the past 40 years due to the forest's natural ability to regenerate following disturbances.
E T Newletter June 2009
The document discusses a fuel cell project in Belle Garden, Tobago where local residents received training to become eco-tour guides and provide tours of the local wetland to visitors. The training covered topics such as wetland ecology, tour guiding skills, developing tour packages, and learning about the local flora and fauna. The project aims to help conserve the wetland and provide an alternative source of income for community members through eco-tourism.
E T Newsletter Dec 2008
Environment TOBAGO is a non-profit environmental advocacy group in Tobago. This newsletter describes negative environmental impacts over 12 days, including the clearing of protected land and mangroves for development, drainage projects damaging reefs, and unsustainable hunting threatening wildlife. It also warns about the invasion of the predatory lionfish to the Caribbean which could wipe out fish stocks if not controlled.

Economic trends from a business point of view (May 2024)Інститут економічних досліджень та політичних консультацій
“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio Problem
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
