Execution of Crime Fighting Initiatives - Minister of National Security -
Aug 20, 2017 - 10:12:17 PM
After getting the news of another murder this morning, I decided to convene a meeting with
Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade, along with his executive team and divisional
commanders to review their current strategy. After hearing from them and knowing what we are
up against, I requested of them to redouble their efforts.
As a result of our meeting, they have decided to execute a number of initiatives.
While efforts in tackling crime are static in many ways they are also fluid as our approach is
based on what is occurring. Towards this end, they are further enhancing senior command at a
divisional level on a 24-hour basis.

Mommy and Me Workouts -
Aug 17, 2017 - 4:23:15 PM
Parenting is an important, full-time job which requires the distribution
of an endless amount of love, affection, and guidance. As a parent, it
is important to build a community of supporters who can alleviate any
stressors associated with parenting, in addition to developing healthy
habits for you and your child(ren) which makes it easier for you to cope
and bond.
Mommy and Me Workouts are beneficial to both mother
and child. Such workouts can begin when the baby is still in the womb,
helping the mother to strengthen her pelvic floor muscles and increase
flexibility during pregnancy in order to prepare her body for labour.
Post pregnancy, Mommy and Me Workouts regulate changing hormones to
prevent postpartum depression. For the baby, it creates the adoption of
an active, healthy lifestyle which should continue throughout their
lifetime
The Medical Fitness Department at Bahamas Medical Center
(BMC) offers Mommy and Me Workouts for Pre and Post Natal mothers and
