This is the LiveStream page for the Nonsuch Island Cahow Cam Project. This project will provide live streaming from the nesting burrows of the Cahow. The Cahow Recovery Project is a long-term management, research and recovery programme aimed at reducing threats to the National Bird of Bermuda, the Cahow or Bermuda petrel (Pterodroma cahow). It also aims to promote the recovery of this endemic species, which is now one of the rarest seabirds on Earth and is completely unique to the island.
Newly appointed Bermuda Attorney General Mark Pettingill is calling for a debate about reforming the island nation’s marijuana laws. But he has stopped short of advocating any particular change, instead merely saying it is time for a discussion.
“When I say ‘get real’ that doesn’t necessarily mean making fundamental changes but we have to have some review of the legal position as it relates particularly to marijuana,” the attorney general said, noting that current policy calls for warnings for small-time pot possession, but that that is not enshrined in law. “This is really turning a blind eye rather than legalizing it, and having things defined in law is good — otherwise you can ask why is one person being prosecuted and someone else not.”
When the Gazette pressed Pettingill, he spoke like the practicing attorney he has been for the past two decades, saying he could “argue both ends.”
He then reiterated his call for a debate in Parliament. “I think the view is that we need to have a fully-fledged Parliamentary debate as it relates to the issue.”
While calls for marijuana reform have been coming out of Bermuda for years and while Pettingill said warnings were the norm, Bermuda has also in recent years earned a reputation for harsh treatment of visiting tourists caught with small amounts of marijuana, including a case from 2010 and another from 2011. In the latter case, a visiting American medical marijuana patient was fined $2,000 for possession of three grams.

Born in the tiny island of Bermuda, J. Blakke has been playing music since the age of 4. Starting out on the piano, moving to the sax at 12 and beginning to DJ at 18 while studying in Florida. He’s been influenced by everything from Country to Soca, but Hip Hop has had his heart since introduced to him properly by his cousin in the early 80’s. His eclectic taste in music however has always laced his sets. It’s not uncommon for him to go from deep Hip Hop to dark DnB to A-Ha in one mix.

Beat The System by ill-Logical Linguistics / Lyrics
A yo this maze of life, It’s a crazy type, They say you’re wrong when you may be right, Just to exist have to pay their price, But they can’t fade the lights, When the day is bright, Lets let em know we’ll brave the fight
Chorus
It’s like a human sacrifice, If I’m to, last the night, No I ain’t going nowhere but home, But kicking up and getting mad at life, Would be bad advice, Know you ain’t going through it alone, If we could only beat the system maybe we can save our victims, From starvation and days in prison, Power trips and addictions evictions and politicians are what ruin the world that we live in
1st verse
The thoughts of coexistence show resistance, People try to speak upon their rights but no ones listening, Tell police go easy on the public go insist it, Show the statistics, Ain’t nobody ever died from marijuana in spliffs, Their only interest is interest, Market cigarettes to underage kids to get the kids addicted, I think it’s twisted, This is some sick shit, Throw em all in gutters and then show em how the rich live, I make a wish list hoping that the world will change, keep your own opinion voice your thoughts til you get verbal strain, Herbal exchange is the medium for crooked cash cops keep it illegal so they bank when they took your stash, They look and laugh when they book your ass, How to tell if someone’s high well they took a class, Some of em even had to smoke it how crookeds that, To think a plant could put you away good and trapped
Chorus
2nd verse
I’ve got a million and one, Questions for these so called leaders, who never guide us and no more lead us, They only bribe u, Freedom must bestow no meaning, All these wars they don’t show no reason we’ve got our own cold bleeding, They don’t care they got a front row seating, To chess games played with others lives, Other try to survive juggling dimes, It’s just puzzles my mind, Troubled times yet the government is guzzling wine, Why, Is someone old enough to kill a man, But still not old enough to hold an alcoholic drink in their hand, I’m, Kinking your plan if you thinking you can, Brain wash me with such insane thoughts ya mad, While I’m, Crossing the pad here’s my observation, You don’t care about the hospital patients, If they aint got your profit and payment, Then you ain’t got the doctor to save them, It’s gotta stop its not a proper engagement
Chorus
3rd Verse
Sometimes I find myself drifting in space, This bitch realities a kick in the face,It’s a disgrace lets take racism and give it the breaks, Swimming in purity of limitless lakes, Any minute past the present is a minute to late, You give and you take, More concerned with petty crimes than the real criminals who women they rape, It’s a sin when they wake, Instead you concentrate your forces on a source of your rage, Mad cuz you can’t put a stamp on what’s naturally made, huh, I’m gonna have to be brave, Facing the world through the last of my days, After I pray, Open my eyes see disaster and strain, Wondering why if I’m asking in vain, Some were drafted just to crash in a plane, This is a matter that has to be raised, And get national gain, If we can make a little splash in the rain, Then maybe we can make em understand the half of our pain, Let today just be the last of their game
