A disturbing video captured an NYPD sergeant using a stun gun on a pregnant 17-year-old girl in the Bronx — and now the use of force is the subject of an Internal Affairs Investigation.

“Get off of me, get off of me!” Dailene Rosario yelled around 10 p.m. Friday as cops grabbed her in the hallway outside her apartment. “I’m pregnant! I’m pregnant!”

Cops were called to the Wakefield apartment on an unrelated call reporting someone having an asthma attack. Patrol officers assigned to the 47th Precinct came across a fight on the fourth floor involving two men. There were about 15 onlookers.

The uniformed officers called for backup and about 10 other cops responded. Cops were trying to pull the girl’s arms behind her back, the video first posted by WorldstarHipHop.com shows. She screamed and the officers dragged her to the floor.(nydailynews)…[+]

A Russian spy ship was spotted “loitering” 30 miles south of Connecticut on Wednesday morning, according to Fox News. The vessel, named Viktor Leonov, has weapons but primarily serves as an intelligence-collection ship. The Viktor Leonov had made a port call in Cuba prior to moving north, where it had been previously monitored off the coast of Delaware. A U.S. official told Fox News that the ship was seen 30 miles south of the Connecticut town of Groton and was “loitering” near a submarine base.(nydailynews)…[+]

ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA – The Government of Antigua and Barbuda is set to replace that country’s existing streetlights with energy-efficient LED lights. This is being done through funding from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). The project, which was launched on February 9, 2017, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, will see over 14,000 high pressure sodium and mercury vapour lamps being replaced by the end of 2018.

The government has set a target to reduce the energy consumption of government facilities by 30 percent by the year 2025. It’s therefore our intention to replace all these high pressure sodium and mercury vapour lights with more efficient LED lights. These LED lights have…high efficiency, and therefore reducing energy consumption by almost 50 percent. This would lead to a reduction of fuel imports into the island, and also a reduction in carbon emissions,” said Hon. Robin Yearwood, Minister of Public Utilities, Civil Aviation and Transportation.

CDB is financing the Street Light Retrofitting Project through a loan of USD5.9 million (mn), as well as grant funding of an additional USD1 mn. The Project aims for an annual reduction of street lighting energy consumption by 4,900 MWh, and 3,200 tonnes in carbon dioxide emissions by the end of 2019.

Antigua and Barbuda currently has the highest per capita consumption of electricity of all Eastern Caribbean states. Electricity consumption by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, including street lighting, accounts for approximately 11 percent of nationwide consumption, which equated to costs of approximately USD37 mn in 2014…[+]
