The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, has turned its attention to the Bahamas central bank digital currency (CBDC), the Sand Dollar, and suggested additional regulatory oversight and education.

Reporting on a consultation with the Caribbean nation on Monday, the IMF said its executive directors recognized the potential of the Sand Dollar to foster financial inclusion and recommended the Central Bank of The Bahamas accelerate its education campaigns and continue strengthening internal capacity and oversight. The consultation was somewhat of a departure from several of the IMFs previous warnings to many countries against the adoption of digital assets but many of those did not include CBDCs.

The recommendation came following the conclusion of an Article IV consultation in the Bahamas last Wednesday. According to the IMF, during such a consultation, a team of economists visits a country to assess economic and financial developments and discuss the country's economic and financial policies with government and central bank officials.

In addition to recommending financially educating the public in The Bahamas, the IMF hinted at the importance of robust supervisory and regulatory framework for digital assets. During an interview at SALTs Crypto Bahamas conference in May, The Bahamas Prime Minister Philip Davis told Cointelegraph that the region has a regulatory regime in place that will enable crypto businesses to operate within its jurisdiction. Davis office also said in April the government would enable payment of taxes using digital assets by working with the central bank as well as the private sector.

To date, The Bahamas and Nigeria are the only two countries to have officially launched CBDCs, but other nations including China have been piloting digital currencies. On Friday, the Bank for International Settlements Monetary and Economic Department said a survey of 81 central banks conducted in 2021 suggested 90% were engaged in some form of CBDC work, and more than 60% were likely to or might possibly issue a retail CBDC in either the short or medium term.

Bahamas authorities investigating the deaths of three Americans on vacation at a resort are investigating whether food played a role in the mysterious cases.

Police Commissioner Paul Rolle said Monday the victims had eaten different things and separately sought medical help after feeling ill the night before they were found unresponsive in two adjacent villas located in the same building at the Sandals resort in Exhuma Friday, the Nassau Guardian reported.

They were all treated at different times and they ate at different places, Rolle said of the victims, so were checking all of that, which we will hopefully be able to determine whether or not it was some food or something else that caused it.

The deceased were identifiedas husband-and-wife travel agents Michael Phillips, 68, and Robbie Phillips, 65, of Tennessee, and Vincent Chiarella, 64, of Florida.

Vincents wife, Donnis Chiarella, 65, suffered a severe reaction reportedly involving paralysis and swollen limbs, and was flown to a hospital in Miami.

A spokesman at the HCA Florida Kendall Hospital told Fox News Digital that Donnis condition was upgraded from serious to good Tuesday.

Rolle said the two couples had gone separately to a clinic in George Town last Thursday, complaining of unspecified ailments.

Blood samples taken from the American vacationers have been sent to a lab in Philadelphia, with toxicology results expected within days.

Once those examinations are done, our pathologist would be able to provide us with an official report as to the exact cause of death and help us to determine exactly what has happened, Rolle said.

Bahamas officials have also collected samples from the rooms where the victims were staying and the surrounding property to determine whether any contaminants were present.

Other guests staying at the Sandals resort told NBC News this week about a strong odor of insecticides on the property, which the Bahamian authorities are investigating.

Officials are also looking into possible leaks from air conditioning units and the water heater on the property.

Seagrass beds and mangrove trees in the Bahamas' crystal-clear waters may soon be drafted into the fight against climate change.

The Caribbean country plans to offer "blue carbon" credits this year as a way for companies internationally to offset their emissions, the country's prime minister announced last week. The island nation will be one of the first to sell ocean-based credits, and hopes to use the proceeds to invest in climate resilience projects.

Coastal ecosystems, such as seagrass meadows and mangrove forests, are some of the world's most powerful carbon sinks, storing three to five times more carbon per hectare than tropical forests. They do so mainly by storing dead and decaying plant matter in the ocean floor, as well as sequestering carbon by pulling it straight from the air and water. Last year, an international team of researchers found that these marine habitats already store up to 30 billion tons of carbon nearly as much as the world emitted in 2021 from fossil fuel burning alone.

The Bahamas is home to more than 1,600 square miles of mangrove forests and other marine ecosystems that serve as valuable carbon sinks at least $300 million worth, according to Prime Minister Philip Davis. But they're threatened by damage from hurricanes and coastal development, issues that he said the revenues from the carbon credit sales would help address.

"I want to see a Caribbean that is not dumped on any further," Davis said at the Caribbean Renewable Energy Conference in Miami, according to Bloomberg. "We are a major carbon sink for the world, and we need to benefit from cleaning the Earth's atmosphere."

Carbon offsets work in two ways: Companies can pay to preserve already-existing ecosystems, preventing new carbon from being released into the atmosphere. Or they can finance the rehabilitation of degraded or destroyed habitats, which then go on to absorb additional carbon dioxide. Both methods allow corporations and individuals buying credits to continue polluting, as long as their emissions are equal to the carbon being stored by the project they support the basis for claims to "carbon neutrality." In theory, these methods can be an important tool to combat climate change, and conservationists are now promoting blue carbon projects as a way to preserve threatened marine habitats.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations' major climate body, has promoted blue carbon as a way for nations to meet their obligations under the Paris Agreement, and countries like the United States, Australia, and Kenya have already begun including marine habitats in their carbon accounting. Corporations have also seen an opportunity in blue carbon; Apple and Gucci have both invested in projects that preserve mangrove forests in Central and South America.

But similar carbon offset programs targeting forests and grasslands have been plagued with accusations of fraud; developers have been caught inflating the amount of carbon sequestered by forests or preserving land that was already protected. And some ecosystems have been destroyed by wildfires even after they were claimed for credits.

They've also been criticized as a form of "greenwashing," excusing companies and countries from the work of actually transitioning to carbon-free energy sources a possibility that some experts fear could be repeated with "blue carbon" credits.

These issues, however, haven't slowed the rapid expansion of carbon markets, which are expected to be worth as much as $546 billion by 2050, according to BloombergNEF, a clean energy research firm.

"You shouldn't let anybody convince you or say that this is the silver bullet to solve climate change, because it's not. The opportunity is actually quite limited," Cath Lovelock, a coastal ecology researcher at the University of Queensland, Australia, told China Dialogue Ocean. "And it might allow polluters to keep polluting. It's like: 'Watch my beautiful blue carbon project over here, while I'm not doing anything about my emissions over there.'"

Three U.S. citizens died over the weekend at the Sandals Emerald Bay resort in Great Exuma, Bahamas. Officials are still working to determine the cause of death, but said there were no signs of trauma on the deceased.

The Royal Bahamas Police Force has released the names of three American tourists who died under mysterious circumstances at a resort last week.

Michael Phillips, 68, of Tennessee and his wife Robbie Phillips, 65, were found dead in a villa at the Sandals Emerald Bay resort in Great Exuma on Friday. In a separate villa at the same resort, Vincent Paul Chiarella, 64, of Florida was also found dead.

There were no signs of trauma found on any of the deceased, according to police, though both Michael and Robbie Phillips "showed signs of convulsions."

Chiarella's wife, Donnis, was also at the resort and fell ill. She was airlifted to a Miami hospital and was last listed in "serious condition," according to Royal Bahamas Police Commissioner Paul Rolle.

What caused the deaths of the Americans is not yet clear, Rolle said, though autopsies were scheduled for Monday.

"The pathologist has extracted samples from all the patients and our forensic scientists have collected those samples for examination," Rolle said at a press conference. "We are actively engaging a lab in Philadelphia ... to assist us with the expediting the toxicological examinations of all of these samples."

Once those examinations are done, the pathologist in the Bahamas will be able to determine the cause of death and resolve the mystery surrounding the sudden deaths, he said. Additionally, samples have been collected from rooms at the Sandals resort to test for contaminants that might be present.

Prior to their deaths, some of the guests sought treatment at a clinic on Thursday for symptoms of nausea and vomiting, Health Minister Dr. Michael Darville told Eyewitness News Bahamas. He said they were seen and then discharged themselves.

Multiple teams, including some environmental scientists, were brought in to ensure there is no public health issue, Darville said. When asked about the resort, Darville said the emergency medical team believes it is a safe environment.

"We feel that what we are seeing is an isolated case, associated in a particular area," Darville said. "We thought we might have to make a makeshift facility, mini hospital that's proving to be not the case."

WHAT'S NEW IN THE BAHAMAS IN MAY - PR Newswire

Baby No. 8 deserves some celebrating.

Nick Cannon and pregnant Bre Tiesi have plans to babymoon in the Bahamas next week, Page Six has exclusively learned.

The actor and the expectant mother are set to host the one-year anniversary celebration of the Sugar Factory American Brasserie at its Baha Mar destination next Wednesday, an insider tells us, adding that Cannon will perform as a DJ for the evening.

Along with celebrating Tiesis pregnancy on their tropical babymoon getaway, we hear the pair will also commemorate Tiesis 30th birthday on May 5.

Cannon, 41, confirmed that he was expecting his 8th child, a baby boy, with Tiesi after photos surfaced of him by her side at a gender reveal party where she was visibly pregnant in January.

The Drumline star announced that after finding out he would be having an eighth child with five different women, he embarked on a celibacy journey.

He also shared in February that, unsurprisingly, he doesnt believe in monogamy.

I dont think monogamy is healthy, Cannon said onThe Language of Lovepodcastwith Dr. Laura Berman, adding, I feel like that gets into the space of selfishness and ownership.

Cannon also doubled down on his claim that all of the pregnancies of his children were planned.

Im going to take full responsibility. Any woman that I know that I have unprotected sex with, theres the potential to have a child, he had said. So I feel like if I have unprotected sex with anyone I know because one, I value everything about me so much, if Ive gotten to that point where I say, I can take off this condom, Im gonna say, She could be the mother of my child.

TheAlone singershares 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He shares 5-year-old son Golden Sagon and 1-year-old daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell and has 10-month-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Zilly Heir with Abby De La Rosa.

Cannon shared the heartbreaking news that he and Alyssa Scott hadlost their 5-month-old son, Zen,to brain cancer in December 2021.

In February, Cannon said he feels heavy guilt for not spending more time with Zen.

The monogamy critic, whose talk show was canceled after just six months, seemingly pined over his ex Carey in his song Alone, which dropped on Valentines Day this year. He was also spotted partying with ex-girlfriend Jessica White at an Upper East Side strip club in March.

Meanwhile, Tiesi was married to football player Johnny Manziel from 2018 to 2021.

The manager of Johnny Depps private island in the Bahamas has testified that she intervened after hearing Mr Depp saying that Amber Heard hit him with a can.

The defamation trial between Mr Depp and Ms Heard began on 11 April in Fairfax, Virginia following Mr Depps lawsuit against his ex-wife in March 2019. Mr Depp is arguing that she defamed him in a December 2018 op-ed published in The Washington Post titled I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our cultures wrath. That has to change.

Estate manager Tara Roberts appeared in court via video link on Tuesday. She told the court that Mr Depp would bring guests to the island, such as British actor Paul Bettany and his family, as well as Ms Heard and her friends.

She described a 2013 incident prompting Ms Heard to be asked to leave the island in the morning, but she came back that same afternoon. Ms Roberts said her impression of the early stages of the relationship was positive.

Recalling Mr Depps 2014 detox on the island, she said that Dr David Kipper and nurse Debbie Lloyd were there. She noted that she saw no property damage following their departure and that she witnessed no injuries to Ms Heard.

Ms Roberts also testified about the preparations she did for the couples 2015 wedding, noting that there were privacy concerns and that the nuptials occurred earlier than initially planned.

The estate manager testified that she was asked to get RedBull and Dr Pepper, Mr Depps drink of choice at the time.

She said Ms Heard often wore little makeup and recounted an episode in which the couple came to her office. Ms Roberts said Ms Heard asked Mr Depp to come back to the house and that she eventually entered his vehicle after previously blocking it, stopping him from driving away.

The estate manager said she and a colleague followed the couple to their house and that they could be heard arguing loudly.

Amber was telling him he was a washed-up actor, youre going to die a fat, lonely old man, Ms Roberts said.

She added that she could hear Mr Depp say to Ms Heard you hit me with a can. As Mr Depp tried to walk away from the house, Ms Roberts said Ms Heard tried to viciously pull him back.

Island manager testifies that Depp did not react after Amber Heard's 'vicious attack'

Ms Roberts said she was in between the couple at one point and that she decided that it was best for her to remove Mr Depp from the situation.

She testified that Ms Heard was clawing at Mr Depp and pulling on his clothes and his hair.

Asked how Mr Depp reacted, Ms Roberts said, he didnt he stood there with his arms by his side, he didnt do anything.

Ms Roberts said Mr Depp had a mark across the bridge of his nose and that she got an ice pack to put on it so that it wouldnt swell and that she made sure that he wasnt bleeding.

In her 2018 op-ed, Ms Heard wrote that like many women, I had been harassed and sexually assaulted by the time I was of college age. But I kept quiet I did not expect filing complaints to bring justice. And I didnt see myself as a victim.

Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our cultures wrath for women who speak out, she added at the time.

While Mr Depp isnt named in the piece, his legal team argues that it contains a clear implication that Mr Depp is a domestic abuser, which they say is categorically and demonstrably false. Mr Depp is seeking damages of not less than $50m.

Ms Heard has filed a $100m counterclaim against Mr Depp for nuisance and immunity from his allegations.

I did some research and I counted over 50 operating shelters currently in Maine according toMaine Rescue. There is one that is doing something wonderful to help dogs.

Who let the dogs out? Well, I'm glad you asked. The Humane Society Waterville Area is spreading the joy of a "persons best friend" to you with a new group of dogs. These dogs traveled over a thousand miles to bring joy to our state.

According to their Facebook page,the Humane Society of Watervilleare now hosting 26 "Potcake" dogs all the way from the Bahamas! They need homes!

They previewed the pups on their Facebook pageand posted the following,

We will have 26 potcake dogs from the Bahamas available tomorrow for foster to adopt. Currently they are finishing up their quarantine period for kennel cough vaccine. In order to be eligible to foster to adopt , you must bring in proof your dogs (if you have any) are up to date on their vaccinations to included the kennel cough vaccine (bordetella). This vaccine has to have been administered on or before 4/13/22.

I have never heard of a Potcake breed and I needed to find out what type of dog this was. It was very obvious that they are absolutely adorable.

Humane society waterville area vie facebook

According to Wikipedia,

The potcake dogis amixed-breed dogtype found on severalCaribbean islands. Its name comes from the congealed peas and rice mixture that local residents traditionally eat, as the overcooked rice that cakes to the bottom of the pot would be fed to the dogs. Although appearance varies, potcakes generally have smooth coats, cocked ears, and long faces.

I never knew the name of a breed could come from traditional food. Sometimes when you go on vacation to the islands, like the Bahamas you notice a lot of stray dogs. It's become a problem.

According to the website,

In Nassaualone, there are an estimated 5,000 to 8,000 stray potcakes.

This meansit is vital for these beautiful dogs to have homes. It's hard to believe that there are stray dogs anywhere. The Human Society of Waterville wants to help.

You can see photos of a few of the potcake dogs that were shown on their page! You never know, you may meet your future family member!

It is not regular to see a PGA Tour star player and an LPGA Tour pro attend the same event. However, the Mad Scientist of golf, Bryson DeChambeau, and Lexi Thompson, were in the Bahamas to raise money for a good cause.

The golfers met in the Bahamas to raise money for the Bryson DeChambeau Foundation. DeChambeau shared the memories from the event with the public through his social media.

According to DeChambeaus Instagram caption, the annual event helped raise $350,000 for different charity foundations, including the National Kidney Foundation and Shriners Childrens Hospital.

Notably, it has been only two weeks since he had wristsurgeryto mend his injury. The golfer didnt play the majority of the events since the new year had begun. The 2022 Masters was only his third start this year, as he was constantly battling his wrist and hip injuries.

Known for his long drives, DeChambeau had posted a video of him swinging a driver with one hand after his surgery. The Foundation event is the new update the golfer has shared with his fans since then.

Since the golfers were raising money, the event was that the highest bidder would get to play with their favorite golfer. According to the Story Lexi Thompson shared on her Instagram, the LPGA pro helped raise $45k at the event. The Story has since vanished from her account since it has a time limit of 24hrs.

The famous television presenterChris Harrisonhad originally shared the Story on his account, which she shared again. The content of the Story was as follows:

GETTING TO $23K TO PLAY GROVE XXIII WITHT THE AMAZING @lexi but it actually went for $45K!!! Great Fun at @brysondechambeau foundation event.

Thompson is one of the best LPGA Tour players in the world right now. She has won 11 championship titles, including a major. She has also represented America at the Olympics twice, in 2016 and 2020.
